Shu Yu held her chin. That’s right. The man in black had been taken away. He would be interrogated in secret.
This was not something she could find out.
She didn’t know if Meng Yunzheng would know.
Thinking of him, Shu Yu couldn’t help but look down at the string of beads on her wrist. He had thrown it out last night. If she hadn’t been sharp enough to keep it, the two men in tight-fitting clothes might have seen it.
“Miss, you were right not to make any requests this morning.” The leading official on the shaft of the carriage was still saying, “You have to save up for this favor. That Young Master Fu is a big shot. It’s not easy to owe him a favor.
In the future, you’ll get a lot of benefits. Let’s not talk about anything else, just the fact that he will be re-employed by the emperor in the future, when the time comes, he will directly release you from exile. That is also a very simple matter.”
Shu Yu sighed. Her dream was to leave the southwest in three months.
Young Master Fu was at the center of the political vortex. His exile might not have only offended the emperor, but it might also have been the result of the competition between several forces. If he wanted to go back, it might not be that easy.
However, Madam Hou also contributed to this matter. She and the Sixth Young Lady might be able to use this favor.
Shu Yu had just thought of Madam Hou when the mule carriage stopped and prepared to eat lunch.
At the same time, Madam Hou r s voice came from outside.
Madam Hou r s mule carriage was right behind them, so Shu Yu heard everything that was said.
The Shu family coveted Madam Hou’s handcart. After all, walking was too tiring. To be honest, half of the reason why they could last so many days was because of their hatred for Shu Yu. They wanted to see if she could still be so arrogant when they reached the southwest.
However, they could not hold on any longer. the old lady was already dead, which made them very afraid. They were afraid that they would be the next to die. They couldn’t take advantage of Shu Yu, and now that Madam Hou had such good treatment, they were jealous and hateful, so they naturally wanted to take advantage of her.
Shu Yu lifted the curtain and looked behind. The first person to come to find Madam Hou was the Second Madam.
The Second Furen was the legitimate first wife, and Madam Hou was the concubine of the Second household. To put it bluntly, she was a servant.
How could a servant sit on a handcart while she, the wife of the family, could only drag her heavy handcuffs and shackles along the way?
Therefore, when she came over, the Second Madam asked her to come down and give the cart to her and her two daughters.
When Madam Hou was in the Shu residence, she was cautious and served the mistress very well.
Now looking at the Second Madam in front of her, Madam Hou smiled and said, “This cart is not mine. We are also prisoners. If you have the ability, ask the bailiff. Why are you putting on airs in front of me?”
Second Madam looked at her in shock. “Madam Hou, do you know what you are saying?”
“l know. My daughter is still sick and needs to rest. I hope Madam won’t disturb us and give us some peace.”
“You…” Second Furen narrowed her eyes. “Madam Hou, lord is still alive. Aren’t you afraid that when we reach the southwest, I’ll tell the lord about this and make him chase you out of the Shu family? Although the Shu family is in dire straits now, they are unfamiliar with the southwest. Do you think you and your daughter can survive alone outside?”
Madam Hou was silent.
Shu Yu looked at her slightly clenched hands with her head lowered and was somewhat curious about Madam Hou r s choice.
Although this kind of threat was useless against Shu Yu, it was still binding to Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady..
