Chapter 620 Please Save Me
In Aunt Hou's opinion, even if the second young lady wasn't poisoned, she wouldn't last long starving like this.
The Shu family probably feared rumors that she had been starved to death, so even though they secretly wished for her to die, they still gave her half a steamed bun to eat.
Half a day is practically the same as not having any at all.
Shu Yu showed no sympathy for the Second Miss. She should have known that evil would be punished when she attacked the Seventh Miss.
While eating, Aunt Hou said in a low voice, "Oh, right, there's something else that's very strange."
"What's up?"
“I’ve noticed that Aunt Liu has been acting strangely lately. In fact, the way she looks at the Second Madam is strange,” Madam Hou frowned. “I suspect she knows that the Second Madam was behind this.”
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. Aunt Liu, the one who had her miscarried by the Second Madam earlier.
Although Aunt Liu didn't say anything usually, anyone would hold a grudge over something like this.
If the Second Madam were to discover that she had poisoned the Second Miss, the Shu family would be in serious trouble in the future.
Aunt Liu is not speaking now, probably because she has considered her situation and knows that siding with the Second Miss will not help.
But in a few days, won't the male members of the Shu family arrive?
Aunt Liu has a son, and when the Second Master arrives, that will be her chance to shine.
Shu Yu stroked her chin. It seemed that even if she didn't intervene, the Shu family would be nearly exhausted by internal strife alone.
She preferred the harmonious atmosphere of the Lu family.
Shu Yu said to Aunt Hou, "Whether Aunt Liu knows or not, just protect yourselves and don't get too involved in their affairs."
"Yes, we know." Madam Hou is now waiting for Lord Qi to come. Before he came to Zhengdao Village, she was able to tolerate what the Shu family had done.
For example, when the Shu family wanted to switch rooms with her today, Madam Hou was prepared to put up with it.
Who knew Shu Yu would come? The Shu family is now terrified of her and probably won't dare to do anything else.
Shu Yu and Hou Shi had finished their conversation and were about to go home.
When she reached the main room, she deliberately said in front of the Shu family, "This room still needs to be cleaned up properly. I might come back to live here sometime when I have time. When this courtyard was allocated to us, I should have a share."
Hou glanced at the Shu family members and saw that their expressions were slightly stiff, which made her feel very pleased.
"OK."
Shu Yu left, but as she passed the warehouse window, she saw the Second Miss staring intently at her from the windowsill.
Shu Yu was taken aback. Huh? This person has been moved to the warehouse by the Shu family?
Since it wasn't her business anyway, Shu Yu was about to leave when the second young lady opened her mouth and called out to her in a hoarse voice, "Save me...save me..."
She could barely make a sound; if Shu Yu hadn't been so close, she would have been almost completely inaudible.
To her surprise, the second young lady actually asked her for help.
"Help me... I didn't... Someone is trying to harm me... Please."
The second girl spoke haltingly, unable to utter a complete sentence. Even just a few words took all her strength, and the veins on her thin neck bulged.
Shu Yu stood still. Of course she knew someone wanted to harm her, but why should she save her?
Shu Yu looked at her and said, "Back then, I startled the mule and was dragged into the mountains, almost unable to get out. You were the one who did that, weren't you?"
