Chapter 166 The News That Shocked Shu Yu
Then, Shu Yu saw him quickly write a long paragraph.
"Before I came to Jiangyuan County, I happened to visit the Shu residence with an elder. Besides meeting Lord Shu, I also met several of the Shu family's young masters and ladies, including the third young lady…Shu Yu."
Shu Yu suddenly raised her head, a look of shock flashing across her face. "You're saying you saw the third young lady of the Shu family?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded. "At first, the Shu family only allowed the two young ladies to come out, claiming that the third young lady was ill and not fit to receive guests. I said that Doctor Zhao's medical skills were excellent and he could examine her, so the Shu family had no choice but to let the third young lady come out."
"But the Shu family didn't know I knew you or had spoken to you. After leaving the Shu family, I felt something was amiss and wanted to investigate. However, for some reason, the Shu family was heavily guarded during that time, making it difficult to act. So I went to Dongqing Temple. You used to have a good relationship with the abbess of Dongqing Temple; perhaps I could learn something from her. However, the abbess of Dongqing Temple was traveling. Later, both Doctor Zhao and I had our accidents, so we didn't have time to think about anything else. Unexpectedly, I encountered you here in Jiangyuan County."
"It's strange how you suddenly changed from the third young lady of the Shu family to the second young lady of the Lu family, but since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. Everyone has their own privacy."
Shu Yu was momentarily dazed. She took two steps to the side, frowning as she sorted out her thoughts.
She has already left the Shu family, but the Shu family still has a third young lady appearing in front of everyone.
So it seems the Shu family didn't announce the Third Miss's death. That makes sense; since they didn't find her body at the bottom of the lotus pond, the Shu family knew she was probably still alive.
The Shu family didn't announce her death immediately, probably because they wanted to find her whereabouts first. Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzheng and his group happened to visit the Shu family at that time, wanting to see the third young lady. For some unknown reason, the Shu family, in their haste, found a girl to impersonate her.
By the way, Meng Yunzheng said that the Shu family was under heavy security during that period, which means that the Shu family faced investigation after she left.
In this situation, the Shu family not only couldn't send anyone to find her whereabouts, but they also couldn't do anything else underhanded, and they certainly couldn't let the imposter 'die', lest it cause further complications.
In the eyes of the Shu family, even if she miraculously escaped from the bottom of the lake, this timid and cowardly girl would likely not survive without a household registration, travel permit, friends, or money.
The situation that the Shu family is currently facing is clearly much more important than her, their daughter.
Shu Yu suddenly thought of exile, the ending of the book—Shu Yu was exiled to the southwest along with the rest of the Shu family.
Yes, the one who was exiled was Shu Yu, and her current name is Lu Shuyu.
Is it possible that the person ultimately exiled was not her, but the Third Miss who was impersonated?
No, we can't afford to take any chances; we must prepare for the worst. Of course, it would be best if we could avoid exile, but if we are exiled, we must return as soon as possible.
Shu Yu shook her head, but couldn't stop smiling.
The feeling of a seemingly predetermined ending suddenly taking a turn for the better is simply wonderful.
She was laughing over there, while Meng Yunzheng wrote another sentence: 'As long as your household registration is fine, you don't need to worry even if you go to the county government office.'
Shu Yu's household registration was of course not a problem. With the help of the abbot of Dongqing Temple, she made her way back to the village from the prefectural city.
