Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The group of people walked to the government office. Because there were several exiles from Linzhang Prefecture, the pedestrians on the road were not surprised by this, and no one looked at them.
Shu Yu and the others followed him to the government office, and the leading officer quickly went to hand over the documents.
They waited for nearly an hour before someone came out to verify with them.
Not long after, the leading officer came over. He waved at Shu Yu. “Come here, I have something to tell you.”
The others weren’t surprised. After all, Shu Yu had said in front of everyone that she would tell them the location of the silver when they arrived safely in the southwest.
Everyone thought that the leading officer was asking her where the silver was hidden.
However, when they reached a corner where there was no one else, the leader of the officers said to her, “You’ll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. However, Young Master Meng and the others should have already reached the southwest. If there’s any problem, he’ll take care of you.”
As he spoke, he took out two chains. “Change into this.”
Shu Yu t s original handcuffs were very light, but there were people taking care of her along the way, so it was not a big deal. Now that the officials from Linzhang Prefecture were going to take over, it was naturally not good to fake it.
Shu Yu put on new handcuffs and handcuffs. In an instant, she felt heavy and much heavier.
The leading officer frowned as he looked at the hand hanging around her neck and asked, “This, is it okay?”
“It’s fine. I’ll just hold on to the chains.” Shu Yu smiled and did not mind. Her hand was almost healed. This little weight did not affect it much.
She raised her head and said to him sincerely, “Thank you for taking care of me during this period. I didn’t suffer much along the way, but I implicated you and even fell off the mule cart.’
The leading officer laughed. “What are you saying? How can you say that I’m implicated? Besides, I’ve also received a lot of benefits.”
He did not work for nothing.
“Speaking of mule carriage, there’s something I need to remind you of.”
“You have to be careful of your Second Young Lady. She is a powerful person. The mule cart incident is also related to her. “The leading officer sighed. “It’s also my negligence that allowed my subordinates to be egged on by her. She hooked up with an officer from our side. That officer tasted the sweetness and helped her do something.”
Originally, the Second Young Lady wanted to deal with Shu Yu or Madam Hou. She was very resentful of Shu Yu’s special care along the way and could not bear to see her live comfortably.
After getting along with that officer, the first person he wanted to make use of was her.
However, although the officer was mesmerized by the beauty and had a head, he did not completely lose his mind. He knew very well that Shu Yu still had silver on him. They had taken care of him for so long. If they did not get that hidden silver, wouldn’t they suffer a huge loss?
The Second Young Lady wanted to deal with Madam Hou again. When she wanted to borrow the mule carriage, Madam Hou did not give her a good look. She had always held grudges and wanted to teach her a lesson.
However, that officer still did not agree. Madam Hou had entered Lord Qi’s eyes.
Lord Qi had instructed him to take good care of the person. If he made things difficult for him in public, the other officers would not agree. He would also get himself into trouble.
Shu Yu couldn’t do it, Madam Hou couldn’t do it either. The Second Young Lady was extremely angry.
Sure, the two of them couldn’t. Then let’s go with the Sixth Young Lady.. The Sixth Young Lady didn’t have any money to give, and no one asked her to take special care of her, right?
