Chapter 465 Shu Yu was seen
The middle-aged couple were the same stewards who had previously lived on the estate.
If you're going to put on a show, you should go all the way.
In other people's eyes, they cared a lot about Shuyu. Now that she was leaving the city, they would definitely come to see her one last time and give her some money as a token of their concern.
This is still the city gate, and there will be quite a few eyes watching.
The lead officer tossed the silver in his hand, nodded, and said, "Alright, I understand. Don't worry, we'll handle it."
The middle-aged couple nodded, and the woman even raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then glanced in Shu Yu's direction.
The leading officer waved his hand, signaling them to say goodbye.
The two quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words, which were nothing more than words of concern, telling her to take good care of herself.
Shu Yu kept her head down the whole time, occasionally responding with a few words or letting out a sob.
The middle-aged couple didn't talk for long before they immediately stepped aside, not daring to delay the officials.
The rest of the Shu family members' eyes flashed with anger and jealousy upon seeing this.
"How lucky she is! She survived a near-death experience and then ran into two idiots who brought her food and gave her money."
The fourth sister was indignant, and the second sister also frowned.
Since the other party has paid money, it's highly likely that the officials won't do anything to Shu Yu at all.
If they can't keep an eye on Shu Yu, won't she be in trouble?
Before they could think further, the leading officer waved his hand and ordered, "Keep going."
The group started moving around again, but after only a few steps, one of the officials quietly retreated to Shu Yu's side.
The official, who had been quite annoyed, thought he hadn't made any money along the way. Little did he know, there was someone hiding here delivering silver to them.
Although such a small amount of silver is not worth much, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
Five taels of silver would be enough for them to eat and drink well and travel a distance.
He walked up to Shu Yu and looked her up and down.
He was too far away to know what the woman and the couple said. But he felt that they must have given the woman some money.
"I heard you're the adopted daughter of the Shu family?" He spoke to Shu Yu while scrutinizing her hands, suspecting that she was holding money in her tightly clenched fist.
Shu Yu gave a soft "hmm".
The official laughed and said, "It seems that being an adopted daughter is better than being a biological daughter."
Shu Yu could only smile and echo twice.
Seeing this, the officer didn't say anything more, especially since the lead officer was already calling him. He could only stop, and finally said, "If you have any problems later, you can come to me. I'm easy to talk to."
"Okay, thank you, officer."
The officer frowned. "Raise your head and look at me. Otherwise, you don't even know who I am, so how are you going to find me?"
Shu Yu: "..." This person is so annoying.
Fortunately, we are now outside the city, and there are not so many people left.
Shu Yu closed her eyes briefly, then looked up at the officer.
The officer was finally satisfied, just as the lead officer ran over and kicked him, saying, "Didn't you hear me calling you? What nonsense are you spouting? Go ahead and lead the way properly."
The two officers pushed and shoved each other as they walked forward.
Shu Yu let out a silent sigh and lowered her head again.
Unbeknownst to her, in that brief moment of glancing up, someone nearby had already seen her and recognized her. They stood frozen in shock, staring at her retreating figure.
