Chapter 620: Chapter 620 Please Save Me Chapter 620: Chapter 620 Please Save Me Madam Hou thought that even if the Second Young Lady didn’t die from poison, starving her wouldn’t let her last much longer.
The Shu family probably feared the rumors of starving someone to death, so although they wished she would just die already in their hearts, they still gave her half a bun to eat.
Just half a bun a day, practically no different from having none.
Shu Yu had not a bit of sympathy for the Second Young Lady; from the moment she had acted against the seventh daughter, she should have known that evil begets evil.
While eating, Madam Hou whispered, “There’s also something strange.”
“I’ve recently noticed something odd about Mrs. Liu, or rather, the look she gives Second Madam is odd.” Madam Hou frowned, “I suspect she knows that Second Madam is behind this.”
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, Mrs. Liu, ah, the one who previously lost a child because of Second Madam.
Although Mrs. Liu didn’t say anything on ordinary days, this type of thing is something anyone would hold a grudge over in their heart.
If Mrs. Liu witnessed Second Madam poisoning the Second Young Lady, then there will be more strife to come in the Shu family.
Mrs. Liu’s silence now must be because she has weighed her situation and knows that siding with the Second Young Lady won’t help matters.
But in a few days, won’t the men of the Shu family be back?
Mrs. Liu has a son, and by then, the second lord will also return; that will be her time to act.
Shu Yu touched her chin, it seemed that even if she didn’t make a move, the Shu family’s internal strife alone could be enough to wear them thin.
She preferred the harmonious atmosphere of the Lu family.
Shu Yu said to Madam Hou, “Whether Mrs. Liu knows or not, just protect yourselves and don’t get too involved in their matters.”
“Mhm, we know.” Madam Hou was now just waiting for Lord Qi to come over; she could tolerate the Shu family’s behavior until he arrived at Righteous Dao Village.
Like today, when the Shu family planned to exchange rooms with her, Madam Hou was prepared to endure it.
Who knew Shu Yu’s arrival would make the Shu family so afraid, estimating they wouldn’t dare any further actions.
Having said what was needed, Shu Yu was ready to go home.
On the way to the living room, she intentionally said in the presence of the Shu family, “This room needs to be well cleaned; if I find the time, I might return to stay. When the courtyard was originally divided, after all, I had my share.”
Madam Hou glanced at the Shu people, seeing their expressions stiffen, and immediately felt delighted.
Shu Yu left, but as she passed outside the storeroom window, she saw the Second Young Lady gripping the windowsill, staring intently at her.
Shu Yu was taken aback, huh? Had the Shu family moved her to live in the storeroom?
It wasn’t really her concern, but as she was about to leave, the Second Young Lady opened her mouth, her voice hoarse, begging, “Save me… Please save me…”
She could barely make a sound; had Shu Yu not been close, she almost wouldn’t have heard.
What surprised her was that the Second Young Lady would actually seek her help.
“Save me… I’m not… someone is framing me… please.”
The Second Young Lady spoke haltingly, unable to utter a complete sentence, and even those few words seemed to exhaust all her strength, the veins on her slender neck bulging.
Shu Yu stood still, she certainly knew someone was out to harm her, but why should she go and save her?
Shu Yu looked at her and said, “Back then, when I startled a mule and was dragged running into the woods, almost unable to come out… that was your doing, wasn’t it?”
