Chapter 533 Prisoners with Extraordinarily High Treatment
Hou fell asleep just before dawn. The consequence of staying up late was that she felt weak and groggy when she woke up.
Hou has a headache; she's afraid she'll be in a bad state all day.
The problem is that the Shu family is also targeting her.
Shu Yu glanced at her; Hou Shi's spirits were actually worse than those of the Sixth Miss.
She shook her head, tidied herself up, and went out.
The rest of the Shu family had already come out and were gathered together discussing what had happened the previous night. They didn't know what had happened, but they vaguely saw Madam Hou coming out of another room, so they concluded that Madam Hou must have done something.
When the Shu family saw her again, they sneered at her.
Several officials approached, and the Shu family thought they were about to depart. However, the leading official called out to Shu Yu and Hou Shi, "Come with me."
Hou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shu Yu.
The sixth daughter nervously grasped Madam Hou's hand, "Mother, will everything be alright?"
"I hope... everything is alright."
She couldn't help but glance at Shu Yu again, who shook his head, "It's nothing."
If something were wrong, the leading officer wouldn't have this expression; she even thought it might be a good thing.
Shu Yu followed the leading officer away, and Madam Hou quickly instructed her daughter, "You wait here for your mother, stay away from the Shu family, and don't get into any conflicts with them."
"Okay, Mother, you be careful too."
Hou nodded, glanced at the official standing guard to the side, and felt somewhat relieved. She hurriedly followed.
Shu Yu and Hou Shi arrived at another small courtyard in the post station. This courtyard was obviously much better than the place where they stayed, and the environment and layout were very elegant.
The two followed the lead officer into the main hall, and Shu Yu immediately spotted the two men who had fought with the men in black the night before.
The two men, dressed in tight-fitting clothes, stood there expressionless and with ramrod-straight postures.
Inside the lobby sat another person, a middle-aged man who looked refined and kind. To Shu Yu's surprise, this man, like them, was also wearing prison clothes.
Oh, it's different too. This person's prison clothes are very clean, and he has an overcoat on top.
As Shu Yu sized up this person, he was also sizing them up.
However, the middle-aged man quickly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "You two don't need to be nervous. I'm just grateful to you for helping me catch the man in black yesterday. That man was after me, and although it was by chance, you still helped me out. Since that's the case, I naturally want to repay you. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
Difficulties?
Shu Yu looked at the man in front of her, her mind already starting to wander.
This person is clearly a prisoner, but as a prisoner, he has skilled bodyguards around him, and men in black are coming towards him on the way to exile, which shows that his identity is very unusual.
Shu Yu likes to accumulate favors owed to others so that she can repay a larger one later, just like when she faced Xiang Weinan.
Moreover, she doesn't really have any difficulties right now. Her only difficulty is that she doesn't want to be exiled to the southwest, but obviously, that's a bit too much to ask. The person in front of her is a prisoner now, so she probably can't do it.
So, Shu Yu shook her head, "I don't have any difficulties for the time being."
Hou Shi actually shared the same thought as Shu Yu; she didn't want the mother and daughter to be exiled to the southwest either. She opened her mouth, but the next moment, seeing the prison clothes on the middle-aged man, she felt that this idea was still too naive.
But she is different from Shu Yu in one way: she still needs money.
