Chapter 581 Let them kill each other
Madam Hou was greatly alarmed and suddenly stood up, the noise of which successfully masked the sound of the second mistress outside the door hitting the door frame in shock.
Shu Yu sighed, "I'm not lying to you. That official said that since I've given them a lot of money along the way, he's giving me a heads-up and telling me to be careful of the Second Miss, lest I lose my life."
Hou slowly sat back down, her face full of disbelief. "But, but why did the Second Miss do this? She had no grudge against the Seventh Miss, and the two had almost no conflicts. Why would she kill her for no reason?"
“Some conflicts accumulate over time, and they don’t necessarily have to happen on the way to exile to be considered conflicts. Think about how the Seventh Miss treated the Second Miss when they were in the Shu family. Besides, the Second Miss was involved with the officials, and her mind was twisted and perverted. Under that extreme imbalance, wouldn’t she want to drag someone down with her? Others are not easy to deal with, and the Seventh Miss is young and short, so if she fights, she won’t make a big fuss.”
Hou was speechless for a long time. "But, but why didn't the officials say so back then?"
"What right do they have to say that? Saying it would only cause more trouble. Their task is just to escort us to Linzhang Prefecture. Once we're there, it's none of their business. Seventh Miss has nothing to do with them. They don't care whether she lives or dies."
The sixth sister murmured, "That second sister is too ruthless."
"A person who is ruthless to himself will naturally be even more ruthless to others."
The second wife outside the door looked dazed and turned around to come into the courtyard.
Her daughter, her innocent and carefree eleven-year-old daughter, died in this way. Not by accident, not by illness or insect bites on the way to exile, not by starvation or exhaustion, but by being pushed into the water and drowning.
The second wife took a deep breath, her eyes reddening. When she turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen, she was filled with hostility.
Shu Yu, who was inside the room, glanced at the door and said softly, "Let's go."
Hou and the sixth young lady both breathed a sigh of relief. Now let them fight each other like dogs.
Although the second daughter was cunning, unfortunately, her beloved master had died, and everyone else hated her.
The one she wanted to seduce, Master Lan, is finished. Now she has to bear all the anger of the Second Madam and the others.
After finishing her business, Shu Yu went to sleep peacefully.
Hou looked at her with complicated emotions; this was the first time the two had worked together. Previously, she had only thought the Third Miss was skilled in martial arts, but now she realized that the Third Miss was actually a very intelligent person.
For some reason, looking at Shuyu like this, Hou felt a surge of anticipation for the days to come.
The next day, Shu Yu and the others got up early as usual to prepare for work.
They encountered the Shu family in the courtyard, and Shu Yu glanced at the second wife without making a sound.
Seeing that her eyes were slightly red, but her expression was unusually calm, he understood.
The second wife is holding back something big.
She shook her head, smiled, and quickened her pace.
Just as Shu Yu and the others took their tools to work in the wasteland, a mule cart drove up from Zhengdao Village in the distance.
There weren't many people left in the village, but they still couldn't help turning their heads to look when they saw the mule cart.
The mule cart stopped outside the village, and several people got out. They went inside for a while, and when they came out again, the mule cart headed down the mountain.
