Chapter 461 Time to Set Off

"Third sister, didn't you understand what I said? You are now..."

The second young lady spoke too slowly; before she could finish, the jailer came over, banging his spoon.

"Have you finished eating? Time to clear the bowls."

The servants in the outermost cell, which was farther away, had already finished eating and returned their bowls and chopsticks to the jailer.

Seeing this, the two prisoners inside didn't care about coveting Shu Yu's food, since it wasn't their turn anyway. They all finished their food quickly without complaining.

The old lady, however, was still somewhat unwilling to give up, but when she turned her head, she saw that Shu Yu was also eating very quickly.

She immediately lost her focus and sped up her pace.

However, she was old and choked because she ate too fast, which earned her a scolding from the jailer.

The old lady's face turned bright red, but she dared not utter a sound.

But the jailer walked up to Shu Yu and said politely, "Our warden said you can eat slowly, young lady. Your food box isn't from here, we can come back to collect it later. Also, your braised pork was quite good."

Shu Yu nodded gratefully and began to chew slowly.

But she didn't want to linger too long. After everyone had finished cleaning up their dishes, she had almost finished eating and closed her lunchbox.

Looking at the lunchbox that was taken away, the anger and jealousy in the eyes of the Shu family members were almost overflowing.

They haven't had a proper meal in a long time.

After finishing her meal, Shu Yu let out a long sigh of relief, feeling refreshed both physically and mentally.

The Shu family members whispered and cursed at her from the side, but she pretended not to hear them and kept shrinking into a corner.

However, the curses from the Shu family were to no avail.

After noon, the jailer came to deliver the food again.

This time, the Shu family didn't even have leftover food, since the prison's expenses were limited, with only two meals a day.

But Shu Yu ate three meals a day with gusto, while her family members nearly jumped up in a fit of rage and killed her.

It's alright, let her be smug for one more day. After her exile tomorrow, her good days will be over.

Shu Yu had only been in prison for a day, yet her hatred level had already reached its maximum.

Lord Jing and the others naturally knew about this matter, and they were all very concerned about the Shu family.

However, their investigation found that Shu Yu's statement was not problematic. Besides, it was a minor matter for the jailer to receive a small sum of money to deliver meals to people for a day; after all, the women in the Shu family weren't heinous death row inmates, so it didn't matter.

Another day passed, and Shu Yu finally faced the second day of his exile.

She looked up at the sky; the weather was clear and sunny today, a fine day.

Early in the morning, the jailer arrived with his guards and impatiently woke up the women of the Shu family who were still resting.

"Get up, get up, it's time for you to get going."

Shu Yu, “…” The word “on the road” is used wonderfully.

The women of the Shu family have been focusing their attention on Shu Yu these past two days. Now that the time for his exile has truly come, they are all filled with fear, especially the younger ones, who have begun to sob quietly.

The seventh girl also held the fourth girl's hand tightly, her little face flushed from crying.

Shu Yu stood silently at the back, her head still bowed, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

At this moment, Lord Jing and two other officials came over. The three of them looked around, had someone count the number of people, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, they had someone put handcuffs and shackles on them.

As soon as the person at the front finished, the second young lady suddenly knelt down and said, "My lord, I have a request."
