Chapter 578: It’s Not That Simple....
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu felt that as long as there was no one like Master Lan in the Righteous Dao Village, she could still take it step by step.
Hunting, from another perspective, was much freer than opening up wasteland, burning charcoal, and mining.
Seeing that she had an idea, Meng Yunzheng thought about it and didn’t persuade her anymore.
Shu Yu finished the rice ball and gulped down two mouthfuls of soy milk. She clapped her hands in satisfaction. “I’m leaving then.”
Meng Yunzheng nodded and watched her go down the mountain before turning to leave.
Shu Yu returned home with a large bundle of firewood. As soon as she entered the house, she heard an argument.
She couldn’t help but dig her ears. the Shu family felt uncomfortable without quarreling for a day. She was so tired every day, so she did not know what to quarrel about.
She turned around and went straight to the kitchen. She handed the firewood to Madam Hou and asked, “What happened to them?”
Madam Hou said softly, “It’s the Eldest Young Lady and Second Young Lady who are quarreling. From what I heard from their words, it seems to be because of Master Lan’s matter.’
Shu Yu was surprised. “Master Lan? What does it have to do with them?”
Madam Hou shook her head. “I don’t know the specifics. From what I heard from the Eldest Young Lady, it seems that the Second Young Lady wants to find Master Lan in exchange for a lighter job. What else can be considered an easy job in the Righteous Dao Village?”
Shu Yu understood that the Second Miss wanted to repeat the same trick. She had tasted the sweetness after mixing with the officials on the road to exile. Anyway, he had already sacrificed herself once, so she didn’t care about a second time.
Madam Hou brought the firewood over and lit it up, then let Sixth Young Lady cover the lid of the pot. Looking at her daughter’s tired face, she couldn’t help but mutter softly, “Fortunately, something happened to Master Lan. Otherwise, if Second Young Lady had her way, wouldn’t it have harmed all of us?”
Although they were like fire and water with the other members of the Shu family, they were family to outsiders.
When the Second Young Lady did that kind of thing, others would only think that the Shu family Young Lady was such an indecent person.
Even if they had been reduced to the point where they could only do hard work in the exile area, they would still marry and have children in the future. Especially her sixth daughter, who was only eleven years old now. After working here for three years and regaining her freedom, she would be fourteen years old and not yet of age. She could still find a good family to live the rest of her life.
Moreover, Madam Hou had imagined that she would have the chance to find Lord Qi and leave this place of exile. So she naturally didn’t want the Second Young Lady to mess around and implicate her daughter.
As for herself…Although she had interacted with officials on the way, that was only on the way to exile. Not many people knew about it here.
Even the Shu family might not know, and even if they knew, they would not say it out loud. Madam Hou was naturally not worried about implicating her daughter.
Presumably, the Eldest Young Lady had the same thoughts, so after knowing that the Second Young Lady had such a sign, she was very angry.
Shu Yu didn’t say much when she heard this, but she felt that for a person like the Second Miss, even if she did something, it wouldn’t be as simple as just trying to seduce Master Lan.
The last time she had seduced the escorting officer, her mule had been frightened and she had rolled down the hill.
This time, who knew what she wanted to do?
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. After breaking the branch in her hand, she stood up and said to Madam Hou, “You guys cook first. I’ll go over and take a look.”
Madam Hou hurriedly nodded. “Be careful..”
