Chapter 495 Why are you looking at random things again?

Originally, the Shu family had more than just these few concubines, but the other concubines without children were all resold.

The concubines who are now being exiled are all women who have given birth.

This Lady Hou was the birth mother of the sixth daughter of the second wife.

Shu Yu was not familiar with this Lady Hou, but he knew that when she was taken into the manor by Second Master Shu, she had achieved her goal by using seductive means. Because of her good looks, she was quite favored by Second Master Shu.

It's not surprising that she's now using the same methods to seduce officials, hoping to improve her life and have more to eat.

The two in the corner quickly embraced. Just as Shu Yu was about to look again, a hand reached out from behind and accurately covered her eyes, whispering, "Why are you looking again?"

If it weren't for the familiar scent of ink wafting from behind her, Shu Yu would have almost taken action.

besides……

What do you mean by "again"?

Meng Yunzheng pulled her back quietly, making sure the two wouldn't hear him, before whispering, "Have you forgotten what happened with Zhang Shu last time? You were also hiding under the window watching with great interest."

Pshaw, when did she get excited? He covered her eyes before she even saw anything, okay?

Meng Yunzheng urged her, "Go back to your room and rest. Aren't you sleepy?"

He shouldn't have said anything, because as soon as he did, Shu Yu yawned, perfectly timed.

I'm really sleepy, probably because I'm full and have had plenty of food and drink.

Shu Yu stopped watching the commotion, waved to Meng Yunzheng, and quietly returned to her room.

The girls of the Shu family were already fast asleep. Shu Yu climbed into bed and closed her eyes to sleep as well.

The next morning, the sound of officials knocking on the door came from outside. "Get up, get up, don't sleep, it's time to leave."

Shu Yu was alert and opened her eyes as soon as she heard the knocking on the door. On the other hand, the rest of the Shu family got up one by one, still sleepy and sore all over.

The officials outside were clearly impatient; they knocked twice and then barged in.

Fortunately, Shu Yu got up quickly and was already standing on the edge of the bed, ready to leave at any moment.

The others, upon seeing the whip in the officer's hand, were startled and suddenly came to their senses, quickly getting out of bed as well.

The officers were finally satisfied. "Stop dawdling and let's go."

Although the Shu family members were still feeling unwell, they did not dare to delay and came out one after another.

Even though it's already autumn and you might wake up freezing at night, the daytime weather is still very hot.

Shu Yu wiped away her sweat, and her pace slowed considerably.

If that's the case for her, then it goes without saying for others. Besides, their legs were sore from walking all day yesterday, so their pace was like a tortoise crawling.

As a result, the lunch break time is naturally reduced.

Shu Yu's meals were the same as yesterday. The Shu family members were too exhausted to even glare at her now, and were just thinking about when she would finish spending her five taels of silver.

After finishing the slightly sweet steamed bun in her hand, Shu Yu looked up at the others, and soon her gaze fell on Hou Shi.

Hou sat down with her daughter, the Sixth Sister, and the two spoke in hushed tones.

Shu Yu, with her sharp eyes, noticed that while everyone was resting from exhaustion, Madam Hou slipped a steamed bun into the hand of the Sixth Miss.

Seeing this, Shu Yu silently looked away. That must be the white steamed bun she got last night.

Hou shielded the sixth girl from view and urged her to eat the steamed bun quickly.
