Chapter 55: Going to Town
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Shu Yu was in the county this morning, she heard that an official from above had come to Dongan Prefecture.
Although the Shu family would only be exiled after three months, the investigation should have begun now. As the magistrate of Dongan Prefecture, Head Master Shu was already busy dealing with the officials from the capital.
As for the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County, who followed the Shu family’s lead, his following days would not be easy either. He was busy covering up evidence of his crimes, so how could he care about such a trivial matter?
This was also the reason why Shu Yu dared to attack the Ruan family in such a high-profile manner. She had to teach the Ruan family a lesson and let everyone see that the Lu family could no longer be easily bullied.
Besides, how could a person like Old Lady Ruan dare to report this to the officials? She was only good at verbal threats.
When Shu Yu passed by Old Lady Ruan, she suddenly squatted and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Your hard days and my revenge are not over yet.”
She had only damaged a little of the Ruan family’s property. How could this be considered revenge?
Old Lady Ruan’s expression changed slightly as she watched Shu Yu walk out of her house.
She suddenly stood up, pointed at Shu Yu’s back, and shouted, “You unfilial b*tch, a shrew like you will never be able to get married in your life! No one will marry you!”
Shu Yu pretended not to hear her. She had never thought of getting married, not in her previous life, and neither in this life.
She didn’t even stumble while Old Lady Ruan continued scolding, “Sanya and
Dahu will all be implicated by you and be single for the rest of their lives!”
Shu Yu sneered. Even the family members of Old Lady Ruan could get married, no? Dahu and Sanya were well-behaved and sensible. Their lives would only be peaceful and beautiful.
Old Lady Ruan’s mouth was already dry from the incessant scolding, but the other party was still unmoved, and the villagers were looking at her.
Old Lady Ruan finally stopped. This couldn’t do. Since the village chief wouldn’t help her, she had to think of another way.
That’s right, she could go to the Yu family. The Yu family was rich and powerful, so they could take care of the Lu family, right?
However, what she didn’t know was that someone was one step ahead of her.
As soon as Shu Yu walked out of the courtyard, Lu Sanzhu followed her with a flattering smile on his face. He was clearly an elder, but at this moment, he was following behind like a lackey.
Shu Yu glanced at him, and the latter jumped. He quickly explained, ” I, I did tell you to be careful. I didn’t run in to help you because I saw that you could deal with those people alone. I didn’t want to drag you down.”
Shu Yu smiled and didn’t say anything.
When they reached the village entrance, Shu Yu got on the mule carriage.
Lu Sanzhu hesitated for a moment and tentatively placed his hand on the shaft of the carriage. Seeing that Shu Yu did not make a sound, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did he climb up the carriage.
Compared to the carefreeness he had felt when on the way here, Lu Sanzhu was now extremely cautious and obedient. He curled up at the edge of the carriage’s shaft, not even daring to speak to the coachman.
Then, Shu Yu instructed the coachman, “Go to Wenlan Town.”
Lu Sanzhu was shocked. He turned around and exclaimed through the curtain, “You’re going to town? Are you… Are you going to look for the…”
He glanced at the coachman beside him and swallowed the words “Yu family”. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Erya, what exactly do you want to do?”
He had already told her that Lord Yu and the county magistrate were friends. Erya could break into the Ruan family and smash their house, but she couldn’t possibly enter the Yu residence. Even if she was great in martial arts, the Yu family had many fighters. She would definitely be caught..
