Chapter 601 Writing a Letter Home
Shu Yu shook her head. "Not for now. Our conflict isn't that intense. She has a husband and children, and she obviously doesn't want to die. If she were to target us, the consequences would be dire."
Not to mention that Shu Yu already has relatives, Hou Shi and the sixth young lady were lucky enough to meet Lord Qi, who was also being exiled to the southwest, on their way.
If something happens to Lady Hou, Shu Yu will not stand idly by. If it gets to Lord Qi, the Second Madam will not be able to protect herself at all.
The reason she was so decisive in taking action against the second young lady was because the second young lady had no backing and no one cared about her. Whether she lived or died was nobody's concern.
but……
Shu Yu instructed Hou Shi, "You all still need to be careful. The Second Madam is cautious and won't act rashly, but there's no guarantee that others won't. Make sure your food is properly stored and doesn't pass through other people's hands. If you feel unwell anywhere, come find me. Anyway, these days won't last much longer."
Hou nodded and gently squeezed the sixth girl's hand.
I never expected that even after leaving the powerful and wealthy Shu family, I would still have to face such a thing.
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she left, glancing specifically at the Shu family members as she went out.
The second wife did not do anything special, just as usual.
Shu Yu left thoughtfully. When she got home, the old lady handed her a bundle.
“This is what you asked Young Master Meng to look after for you. After we arrived in Heichang County, he gave it to us.”
Shu Yu opened the bundle, inside were her clothes and banknotes, her original makeup tools, and... sunflower seeds.
Looking at the package, Shu Yu's mind began to wander.
She took out the bag of sunflower seeds and said to the old lady, "Grandma, please leave me a piece of land in this yard. I'd like to try planting something."
"Okay." The old lady came over and looked at the sunflower seeds in her hand. "What are these? Vegetables?"
"No, it's a flower." Shu Yu said to her mysteriously, "This flower, the flowers are this big. Not only can they be admired, but the fruit can also be stir-fried and eaten. It can also be pressed for oil."
The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up. "Oil extraction? That's a good thing! In that case, I won't plant anything else in the yard, I'll just plant this."
Shu Yu chuckled and said, "Grandma, planting sunflowers is simple, but I've never done it before, so I don't know if I can succeed. I'll plant a few to try first, and if they're good, then we'll plant a large number. This yard definitely won't be enough."
"I see." Upon hearing this, the old lady had no choice but to abandon her idea of planting sunflowers all over the yard, and her expression was quite regretful.
Speaking of this, Shu Yu thought of Da Niu.
"Before I left, I gave Brother Da Niu some seeds so he could try planting them. I don't know if they were successful." Shu Yu said, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the old lady, "Grandma, we've been in the Southwest for a while now. Have you written home to let us know you're safe?"
The old lady was speechless. She needed to report that she was safe?
Faced with Shu Yu's sincere question, the old lady was speechless for once, and said softly, "Nobody in the family can read..." Then she realized something was wrong; Da Bao had already started reading.
She started rolling up her sleeves. "Let's go, let's write a letter back now and tell them we're all safe and sound and have settled down, so they won't worry."
The old lady started calling to Da Hu, "Da Hu, Da Hu, bring out your pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Let's write a letter."
