Chapter 558 Beware of the Second Young Lady
The official agreed and saw an opportunity to make things difficult for the Sixth Miss.
The courier who delivered the urgent document that time presented an opportunity. The soldier driving the cart at the time saw that the sixth daughter was sitting on the back of the cart, and if he made the slightest noise, she would fall off the cart.
So he deliberately didn't turn the cart around in time, which startled the mule, and sure enough, the sixth girl fell off the cart.
However, Hou was worried about her daughter. When she saw her daughter falling, she instinctively tried to pull her up, but both of them were thrown out.
But that wasn't the worst of it. What was completely unexpected was that their mule crashed into the mule cart in front of them, causing the mule in front to be so frightened that it went crazy and ran away.
Not only did the leading officer nearly lose his life, but Shu Yu also disappeared without a trace.
The officials were terrified and naturally tried to cover it up, making everyone think it was an accident.
However, the second young lady was overjoyed; she hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. She even considered using the same trick again, and taking the opportunity to get rid of Madam Hou and the sixth young lady as well.
Unfortunately, the official dared not do it.
Who knew that Shu Yu would suddenly return a couple of days ago? The second young lady was so excited to see her come back to life that her eyes turned red.
She was unwilling to give up, so last night she went to see the official again.
Having already arrived at Linzhang Prefecture, the official naturally did not want to cause any further trouble, so he refused the offer.
The two argued for a few moments, which was overheard by another officer.
Because Shu Yu would give him money later, the man finally took the opportunity to speak with the leading officer.
After hearing this, Shu Yu was speechless for a long time.
"I don't think I have any deep-seated hatred for the Second Miss, do I?"
“There’s no need for deep-seated hatred.” The officer smiled. “When a person is under enough pressure that their mind becomes twisted, seeing someone doing better than them will inevitably trigger a desire to get rid of them.”
Shu Yu frowned, thinking about it, and realized it made sense.
The second girl may have initially targeted her simply to protect herself.
Later, with the deaths of the old lady and the fifth young lady, the sixth young lady broke off her relationship with her, and she gave her virginity to the escorting officer she originally looked down upon. It is normal for her inner thoughts to be extreme and twisted.
The lead officer added, "Hmm... Also, I suspect that the death of the seventh young lady of the Shu family is also related to her, but I have no evidence."
"..." Actually, after hearing what the officer said, she unconsciously made the connection. "I understand. Thank you for letting me know. I will be careful of her."
"Well then, farewell. I wish you peace and safety in the future. Until we meet again."
"Until we meet again."
The leading officer smiled and led her back to the Shu family's exile group.
The officials from Linzhang Prefecture had finished checking the documents, and he handed them over. The lead official then led the others away.
The Shu family remained where they were, momentarily at a loss.
After a long while, the doctor finally spoke and asked, "Officer, where are we going next?"
The officials from Linzhang Prefecture were not so easy to talk to. Upon hearing this, they snorted coldly, "Why ask so many questions? Come with me, all of you."
He led the way, and the Shu family members followed one after another.
Once they left the government office, the fourth young lady whispered to the eldest young lady, "Will we be working here in Linzhang Prefecture from now on?"
The official had sharp ears and overheard them. He immediately sneered, "What are you thinking? This is the prefectural city. The place you're going to is Heichang County below."
