Chapter 634 Zhao Xi slipped away

The sixth girl felt uneasy. She turned her head to look at the Shu family's gate, and after finding that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered, "I... I think I said something I shouldn't have."

She told Shu Yu the whole story of how she had been having stomach problems the morning, and how she had gone back to get medicine from Daya, but then couldn't help but tell him about her life at the Shu family.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu remained silent for a long while, then frowned, "You only told my sister?"

"Hmm." The sixth girl nodded repeatedly, and seeing her frown, she became even more uneasy. "Yes, I'm sorry, I spoke too quickly."

Shu Yu remained silent. Although she wasn't angry with the Sixth Miss, she definitely needed to change her habit of speaking too quickly.

So she kept a straight face for a long time without speaking, and only when she saw that the sixth young lady was about to cry did she ask, "So, you suspect that Aunt Xue was beaten by my sister?"

The sixth sister remained silent. She did indeed suspect that from the moment Aunt Xue was beaten, she felt that the person who did it must be Sister Daya.

Otherwise, why did she have to be beaten up right after she talked about Shu Yu?

But she didn't dare tell anyone, not even her mother.

However, she told Shu Yu the truth.

Shu Yu let out a breath. "I understand, but remember, my sister didn't do this. Understand? It wasn't her."

Even the slow-witted Sixth Sister understood the meaning behind her words and immediately nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I know. It wasn't Sister Daya who did it. Nobody knows who Aunt Xue offended."

"Okay." Shu Yu nodded. "Alright, I'm leaving now. You can go back now."

Seeing that she didn't say anything more, the sixth sister breathed a sigh of relief and then turned and went back to the courtyard.

Shu Yu stood with her hands behind her back, but a slight smile appeared on her lips.

I never expected her sister to have such a fierce side.

No wonder she seemed so guilty last night. I thought it was because she felt embarrassed about going on a date with Zhao Xi.

Shu Yu felt a surge of joy, and her steps became much lighter.

However, once she entered the courtyard, the corners of her slightly upturned mouth turned down, and she went straight to find Zhao Xi.

Da Ya has already returned to the county town, so if you want to verify this, you can only go to him.

Shu Yu called out twice, but still couldn't see him. Instead, the old lady came out and said, "What urgent matter do you need to see Doctor Zhao for? He's gone out."

"They went out?"

"Yes, he went out not long after you left. He insisted on picking some kind of herb, saying that it would only be fresh if picked late at night. I don't understand, are there really such strange herbs in this world? Can't it be good if it's just one night? It's so dark, it's not safe."

Shu Yu chuckled twice. What, picking medicinal herbs? This guy clearly knew that if she went to the Shu family, she would definitely see Aunt Xue who had been beaten, and he was worried that she would suspect the two of them, so he quickly ran away.

But his departure only confirmed her suspicions.

Shu Yu shook her head and said to the old lady, "Don't worry about him. He's an expert in this area, and he's an adult. He knows how to protect himself."

"Hmm." The old lady wasn't too worried about Zhao Xi, a grown man.

Shu Yu ignored Zhao Xi's escape and went straight back to her room to rest.

The next day, Shu Yu got up early again and went hunting in the mountains.

They continued to cooperate with Ma Lu's team to enter the deep mountains, and their cooperation became increasingly seamless.
