Chapter 457 The Shu family was provoked by her.

The Shu family members instantly fell silent, not daring to utter a sound.

The jailer glanced at them and said, "You guys have been locked up for a month, you should have learned your lesson by now. There are only two days left, so don't cause any trouble for me, or I'll hang you all out to dry at the city gate."

The Shu family members couldn't help but shudder violently, and the fourth young lady even took a step back.

Shu Yu also silently retreated to the corner of the wall, squatted down and hugged her knees, not daring to make a sound.

The jailer then snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The clattering footsteps were exceptionally clear in the cell. None of the Shu family members spoke until the sound gradually faded away, at which point they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this time they dared not cause any more trouble, and the fourth sister was pulled to the eldest sister's side.

However, everyone in the Shu family couldn't help but look at Shu Yu sitting in the corner, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.

After a long while, the young woman sneered and looked at Shu Yu, saying, "So what if you escaped back then? You've still been caught and brought back."

Shu Yu raised her head, her voice muffled, "But I'm still alive."

"What good do you think it is to be alive? You'll be exiled with us the day after tomorrow anyway. Many things can happen on the way to exile, and you might die on the road, and in a much worse way. It might be better to be drowned in the pond than before."

Shu Yu's lips twitched. It was as if I was the only one who had been exiled.

Did she think that she was the only one who was frightened by those words?

Shu Yu glanced at the other timid girls and women in the cell, whose faces were filled with sorrow.

The young woman saw it too, and felt somewhat annoyed.

However, she quickly raised her chin and said, "You don't need to think I'm scaring you. Although we are also being exiled, we are a family. We will naturally look after each other. But you are different. You are all alone now! The jailer is keeping a close watch on you now, so we can't do anything to you. But who knows what will happen on the way to exile?"

The fourth sister laughed maliciously from the side, "Eldest sister is right. Isn't this bitch pretty? We can hand her over to the guards to play with. Maybe we can suffer less on the way. In that case, this bitch is still somewhat useful."

She was initially worried, since they had all heard that young women were most likely to encounter trouble on the road to exile. Losing their lives was considered lucky; the worst thing was losing their chastity and then their lives—that would mean they wouldn't be able to rest in peace even as ghosts.

She used to be jealous of Shu Yu's good looks, but now she thinks that she's actually quite good as she is, serving as a shield for them.

She's all alone, while the Shu family has more than a dozen members.

The rest of the Shu family felt inexplicably relieved after hearing this. If it weren't for Shu Yu, they might have suffered greatly.

Shu Yu squinted; they really know how to dream.

She was too lazy to waste her breath arguing with them, so she simply shrank back and nestled herself in the corner, remaining motionless.

The fourth sister wanted to say more, but the eldest sister pulled her back and whispered, "Don't worry, it'll only be a day. She'll have her fun."

Shu Yu glanced at them out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but sigh inwardly—the Shu family, who had been numb and lifeless, had suddenly come alive because of her appearance.

She is indeed very important and her contributions are indispensable.

Shu Yu shrank even further, which made her appear timid and cowardly to outsiders, as if she didn't even dare to argue with the Shu family.
