Chapter 629 The Strange Daya and Zhao Xi
Aunt Xue's right hand was dislocated, and the Shu family had no choice but to find a doctor and exchange Aunt Xue's food for it that day.
It was the same doctor again, but Aunt Xue knew he was useless.
But at this moment, there were no other doctors to be found besides him.
So the doctor set Aunt Xue's bones, but she always felt that the bones were not set properly, and she kept feeling pain.
But now she's in pain all over her body, so she can't figure out whether it's because her bones weren't set properly or because of the beating she received earlier.
The Shu family was extremely annoyed. Judging from Aunt Xue's current condition, she would probably be just like the Second Miss, unable to work for the next few days.
She can't do anything, yet she still has to eat, drink, relieve herself, and ask for leave. This isn't just torturing her; it's clearly torturing them.
The Shu family's first suspicion was that Shu Yu was the culprit, but when they asked Aunt Xue, she couldn't give a clear answer, as she hadn't seen who hit her at all.
Without evidence, would they dare to go to Shu Yu's door to demand compensation? They'd probably all be beaten up. Shu Yu isn't alone anymore.
Little did Shu Yu, who was being suspected, know that Aunt Xue was now bruised and swollen, lying in bed hungry and barely able to move. She had been watching the courtyard gate, and when she saw Zhao Xi and Daya enter together, her expression suddenly became subtle.
Sure enough, the two of them went out together.
But when did they become so familiar? A man and a woman alone together... something's going on.
Da Ya became uncomfortable under Shu Yu's intense gaze.
This was the first time she had done something like this. Although she had gotten revenge for Ayu by beating him up, she still felt guilty now that she had calmed down and was facing Shuyu's suspicious gaze.
Shu Yu finally coughed lightly, looked up and asked, "What are you two doing out so late?"
Da Ya wasn't good at lying, so she subconsciously looked at Zhao Xi.
The latter could lie on the spot without any hesitation, saying, "Da Ya said there are a lot of mosquitoes in the county town. She was bitten and it was so itchy. It seems that the mosquitoes in the southwest are different from those in our area. She asked me if I had any medicine. Of course, I didn't have any medicine on hand, so I went to the foot of the mountain to pick a couple of handfuls. Da Ya was embarrassed to let me go alone, so she lent me a hand."
As he spoke, he actually took out a few handfuls of herbs.
Shu Yu was skeptical. "Does gathering herbs need to be this late?"
"Isn't Da Ya leaving first thing tomorrow morning? I'm afraid she won't make it in time, so she can only go tonight."
Daya nodded quickly, "Yes, Ayu, I forgot about it before, and only remembered it after we finished eating. It's all my fault."
Shu Yu certainly wouldn't blame her; after all, the two of them couldn't possibly be going out to do something bad.
She didn't intend to get to the bottom of it; after asking a couple of perfunctory questions, she left it at that.
However, she remained skeptical about their relationship.
Didn't you hear Zhao Xi start calling her "Da Ya" directly? She used to call her the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
Da Ya breathed a slight sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Zhao Xi, and quickly went inside.
The next day, Daya prepared to return to the county town early in the morning, and Zhao Xi saw her off as usual.
Shu Yu then went to the manor to get his tools, preparing to go hunting in the mountains.
Compared to the previous day, she and Fang Xiyue received even more attention this time.
Some people even came to chat with her. After giving a few casual replies, Shu Yu left the manor with Fang Xiyue.
