Chapter 829 You Need to Control Yourself

The two constables were angry and naturally treated Aunt Xue with little kindness, roughly carrying her directly to the Shu family's residence.

Aunt Xue was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, soaking her clothes completely.

After the two constables threw the people in front of the Shu family, they said a few words, "Can't your family even keep an eye on a concubine? She actually went to the village head to question the contents of the imperial edict. It seems that the work we gave you was too easy. Tomorrow, all of you men will go to the mine."

Mining is naturally much harder and more arduous than working on wasteland.

The Shu family members' expressions changed, and when they looked at Aunt Xue again, their eyes were filled with hostility.

Aunt Xue looked at them in horror, knowing that she was doomed.

After dealing with Aunt Xue's matter, Shu Yu came to the emotional Ruan Shi and comforted her with a smile, saying, "Mother beat her up and vented her anger, so don't take it to heart. This kind of person is not worth our trouble."

Madam Ruan held her hand, her voice slightly choked, "You never told us what kind of life you had in the Shu family, and we didn't dare to ask. Today, that Madam Xue said that she deliberately didn't let you eat your fill, dressed you in rags, and made you so thin that no one could notice you. That's when we found out how much suffering you had endured."

Although their family didn't have a very good life in Shangshi Village, and Sanya and Dahu were very thin before.

But no matter what, their parents and relatives are always there for them. When children are wronged, their parents will stand up for them; when they are helpless, they have someone to rely on.

But what about Ayu? At that time, she didn't even know that Aunt Xue wasn't her biological mother. Such a young child, at a time when she longed for parental love the most. Yet the person she trusted most became the one who abused her the most.

It's truly a blessing from heaven that their daughter, Ayu, has become such a smart and capable girl.

Shu Yu hugged Ruan Shi, "Those things are all in the past. Aren't I doing fine now? Aunt Xue has gotten her comeuppance, and I've gotten my revenge too."

She believed that the Shu family wouldn't let her die too easily.

That little Shuyu, whose whereabouts are now unknown, can at least find some comfort.

Shu Yu accompanied Lu Erbai and Ruan Shi back to the estate, and only left after they had calmed down.

Meng Yunzheng had been waiting for her outside. When she came out, he asked in a low voice, "Do you need my help?"

Shu Yu recalled the horrific scene of Zhang Shu having her tongue cut out and her eyes gouged out. She turned to look at Meng Yunzheng and smiled, "No need. Just watch, the Shu family won't keep her for more than a few days."

Meng Yunzheng didn't say anything more, but he still paid special attention to the Shu family for a few days.

After he sent Shu Yu back, Zhao Xi and Daya found it strange that the two of them had been talking for so long before returning.

Zhao Xi's suspicious gaze fell on Meng Yunzheng, and he strongly suspected that this guy might have done something bad.

Therefore, on their way back to the manor, he gave them a special warning, saying, "I'm warning you, A-Yu hasn't even reached marriageable age yet. You'd better restrain yourself and not damage the young lady's reputation, understand?"

Meng Yunzheng glanced at him sideways, "What, you're not even a son-in-law of the Lu family yet, but you're already acting like your brother-in-law?"

Zhao Xi, “…”

Forget it, I can't argue with him. He's now extremely suspicious of the time Meng Yunzheng pretended to be mute.

Moreover, back then he could still pretend to be crazy and say a few sarcastic things to him.
