Chapter 836 Conversation with Xiao Shuyu
Shu Yu was taken aback. She hadn't expected that just a few days ago no one had heard her voice, but now that she was leaving, little Shu Yu suddenly seemed to sense it, abruptly raising her head and looking at the place where she was standing.
Upon seeing the blurry figure, Xiao Shuyu's mouth dropped open in surprise, "You, you, you are..."
"I am Shu Yu."
Shuyu was naturally happy to be able to talk to Xiao Shuyu.
She knew that Xiao Shuyu was confused about many things. Compared to her, who was more knowledgeable, Xiao Shuyu still had too little access to information.
Taking advantage of the opportunity while the other person could still see and hear her, Shu Yu quickly explained the whole story.
Xiao Shuyu's eyes widened. "So, so you became me, and I became you?"
"Yes."
But the next moment, Xiao Shuyu suddenly took a few steps towards her and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm sorry, the Shu family is not a good place. My mother doesn't like me. You, you will suffer a lot. I'm sorry, I..."
“I didn’t suffer,” Shu Yu said with a smile. “Aunt Xue is not your biological mother.”
Xiao Shuyu suddenly raised her head, "What did you say?"
"Aunt Xue bought you from someone else. She treats you badly because she wanted to buy a boy to compete for the emperor's favor back then, but she was deceived, so she takes her anger out on you."
"So...that's how it is." Xiao Shuyu's eyes widened, and many images flashed through her mind in an instant, all of them showing Aunt Xue's disgusted look.
She used to be saddened by such looks, feeling that even her own mother disliked her. Her father, brothers, and sisters were more like enemies than family; no one in the world cared about her.
Now that she knows the truth, the weight that has been weighing on Xiao Shuyu's heart for many years has suddenly disappeared, making her feel bright and cheerful.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, so you don't need to take someone like Aunt Xue seriously. Your biological parents have been looking for you all these years and have never given up. I live with them now. I have a grandmother, parents, an older sister, a pair of adorable twin siblings, and an uncle, a third uncle, and a fourth aunt. They are all very good to me."
Xiao Shuyu pursed her lips and whispered, "My parents are very good to me too."
"Yes, I know."
"Then, then..."
"Then I'm relieved." Shu Yu interrupted her with a smile, "We probably won't see each other again in the future. Take good care of yourself, study hard, and take care of them and be filial to them in the future."
"I definitely will, and so will you. Take care of yourself. And, and also, take good care of yourselves and them." Xiao Shuyu's eyes reddened again.
Shu Yu thought that she and Ruan Shi were quite similar in this respect.
This time it's really time to leave. Shu Yu felt that her legs were completely transparent, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to stay for much longer.
But there's one last thing Shuyu wants to tell her.
“You’re right, the Shu family is indeed in bad shape. So the imperial court sent people to investigate them, and the eldest patriarch of the Shu family was beheaded. The rest of the Shu family were exiled to the southwest. The old lady, the second young lady, the fifth young lady, the seventh young lady, and several concubines are all gone. The Shu family suffered heavy losses, and the remaining members will wear each other down in their daily toil.”
Xiao Shuyu was stunned. "The Shu family was exiled, then, what about you?"
"Me? I'm innocent, and I've even become the village head."
Shu Yu didn't go into the specifics, but suddenly laughed, "Aunt Xue is dead too."
