Chapter 529 You're Not Fat
Shu Yu, “…” Damn it, she forgot that she wasn’t the only one in the exile group who would get up at night.
Has Madam Hou gone out to see that official again? Come to think of it, that official did help her a few times during the day.
Shu Yu lay on her back on the large communal bed, looking at the roof beams above her head, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should get up or not.
After hesitating for a moment, she got up.
The sixth girl took her medicine during the day and is now sleeping soundly.
Shu Yu quietly left the room, looked around, but did not see Hou Shi.
However, after taking a few steps forward, she heard low, flirtatious voices. Shu Yu quickly went around that area; it seemed that Madam Hou wouldn't be able to return anytime soon.
She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to see Meng Yunzheng.
As soon as the two entered the secluded and deserted house, Shu Yu said, "I don't have much time. Aunt Hou is sharing a room with me today, and she's come out too. I need to get back to my room before she does."
Meng Yunzheng understood, handed her the food, and said, "I heard you let the sixth daughter of the Shu family get on the carriage today?"
Shu Yu nodded as she ate, her voice tinged with a slight sigh. "Aunt Hou brought me meals a few times when I was little, which did help me out of my predicament. A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude. I may not be able to do something so great, but I can still lend a hand. I can't just stand by and watch them go to their wits' end."
Then she would truly be an ungrateful person; one should at least have basic principles.
Meng Yunzheng didn't say anything. Seeing that she was eating quickly, he quickly handed her the water pouch. "Eat slowly, there's no rush."
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just a little hungry." She had indeed eaten less for dinner and shared half of it with Sixth Sister.
After all, having just recovered from a serious illness, it was really difficult for someone with a dry throat to swallow such dry and hard bread.
Shu Yu's food tends to be a bit soft, which is generally easier for someone who is sick to digest.
Anyway, she had other things to eat that night. She was already getting a little tired of eating vegetable buns and steamed buns every day, so I just shared half with her.
Today, Meng Yunzheng brought over a duck leg with boiled eggs, and a rice ball wrapped with vegetables.
Shu Yu ate with great satisfaction. It was obvious that the rice balls were made by her mother; they were steamed until soft and fragrant.
It had been more than ten days since she was exiled, and Shu Yu could clearly feel that she seemed to have gained some weight. After finishing the rice ball in her hand, she said to Meng Yunzheng, "Let's just take one rice ball tomorrow, maybe with a few pieces of meat, but nothing else. If I keep eating like this, I'll become as round as a ball."
That's what they said, but they didn't hesitate at all when they reached for the duck leg.
Meng Yunzheng looked her up and down. "You're not fat."
Shu Yu glanced at him sideways. You can't tell, but she knows it all too well, okay?
After finishing her meal, Shu Yu rested for a while until she felt she no longer smelled. Then she said goodbye to Meng Yunzheng and carefully walked out.
This time she didn't go towards the Hou family. In such a short time, they probably hadn't finished their business yet, and it would be too awkward for her to go there.
Shu Yu went around to the left, but just as she was about to return to her room, a scream suddenly rang in her ears, "Help..."
The sound stopped abruptly after those two words, as if it had been abruptly cut off.
Shu Yu's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks. That voice... belonged to Hou Shi.
Wasn't Lady Hou on the other side? How did she end up here? Where's that official?
