Chapter 621: Chapter 621: The Team Following Behind Chapter 621: Chapter 621: The Team Following Behind Second Young Lady’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing in Shu Yu.
She knows? How could she know?
Shu Yu smiled at her and then turned her head, linking arms with Daya, and said, “Sister, let’s go. Grandmother must be anxiously waiting at home.”
Daya nodded. She also glanced at the Second Young Lady, feeling no sympathy for the person who actually wanted to harm her sister; even if she looked like she was on her deathbed, Daya thought she got what she deserved.
The sisters left, and the Second Young Lady stared blankly at their retreating figures. Her eyes dimmed, and she lay back on the bed in despair.
She knew she was finished.
Not far away, the Second Madam squinted her eyes at the warehouse and sneered inwardly.
She thought she might have given Second Young Lady too much time.
The Shu sisters returned home, and that night, the three sisters whispered in bed together.
They stopped only when Sanya could no longer resist sleep, but even then, Daya held tightly onto Shu Yu’s hand.
Shu Yu looked at her, puzzled, but Daya just smiled and shook her head, “It’s nothing.”
Today was the first time she encountered the Shu family, and the first time she experienced their cold emotions.
Living in such a fiercely competitive environment, Daya could almost guess what Yu had been through.
She was extremely grateful that Yu had come home, and that they had recognized each other.
Shu Yu fell asleep, holding Sanya in her left arm and holding Daya’s hand with her right.
The next day, as usual, she got up ready to go hunting on the mountain.
Daya woke even earlier and had already helped the old lady prepare breakfast.
Shu Yu put on her clothes and asked her, “Sister, are you going back to the county town today?”
Daya shook her head, “Not going back. I’ll stay here for the day and return tomorrow.”
“Alright, I’ll try to bring back a hare tonight.”
Daya reminded her, “Whether you exchange a hare or not isn’t important; just take care of yourself. When you’ve hunted enough, come back. Don’t go deep into the mountains; it’s too dangerous.”
Shu Yu took her water bladder and midday meal and left the house with a spirited step.
She arrived at the Manor neither too early nor too late, and many people had already gathered.
Seeing Shu Yu, their expressions immediately became subtle.
Thinking of the roebuck from yesterday, they couldn’t dismiss Shu Yu as they had done the day before.
Shu Yu acted as if she hadn’t noticed, leaning to one side, waiting for Fang Xiyue to arrive.
When almost everyone had arrived, the officers came out and let them go in to choose their tools.
Seeing that Shu Yu chose a bow and arrows, those people squinted their eyes. Indeed, yesterday’s roebuck had been hit by an arrow.
They hadn’t expected this woman to actually be capable of archery, what a shame to have underestimated her.
Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue walked out, with the latter still choosing hemp rope.
Don’t look down on hemp rope; it might seem unaggressive, but it can be used to tie game, set traps, and if employed well, the results can be surprisingly good.
The two chatted as they walked towards the foot of the mountain, and Shu Yu asked about Father Fang’s condition.
Fang Xiyue was happy to share, “My father is much better. He did have a fever in the middle of the night, but after taking the medicine Doctor Lu provided, it went down soon after. After two fevers, he slept until morning. He was awake when I got up and could even eat a bit.”
After finishing, she thanked Shu Yu again.
Shu Yu smiled, “Now that your father is fine, you can hunt with peace of mind.”
“Yes,” Fang Xiyue replied with renewed vigor.
However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they discovered that several teams had followed behind them.
