Madam Hou had once thought that Shu Yu was a bit foolish, still standing up against the Shu family at such a critical moment.
Even if she had to pretend and appease them for now, it would be better to overcome the current difficulties first. Once she had power and ability, she could turn the tables on them. But now, thinking back, she realized that the foolish person might have been her.
Shu Yu had no need to please the Shu family. Just look at her current situation—she was living quite comfortably.
"Besides, what would I have told you? You were so young back then, you probably wouldn't have remembered, and even if I told you, you might not have believed me. Today, I had no other choice. The Sixth Miss is my life. I was genuinely afraid that she would be lost, so I approached you with a try-it-out attitude."
Shu Yu looked over at the Sixth Miss, who was crouched not far away, and finally nodded. "Alright, I promise."
Madam Hou's face lit up. "Thank you, Third Miss."
"But you need to think it through. Once the Sixth Miss gets on the carriage, the entire Shu family will resent you."
Although the members of the Shu family were exhausted now and had no energy to cause trouble, there were still many of them. They couldn't lay hands on Shu Yu, but could they not target Hou Shi, who had "betrayed" the Shu family and sided with Shu Yu?
Madam Hou didn't care. "Let them resent me. Can they kill me?"
As long as she knew that, it was enough. Shu Yu didn't ask any further and turned to walk toward the group of officials.
Madam Hou stood still, her fingers tightly clenched, showing signs of nervousness.
After a while, the officials looked in their direction, exchanged a few words, and nodded.
Shu Yu returned and said to Madam Hou, "Help her onto the carriage."
Madam Hou's eyes brightened. "Okay, thank you, Third Miss, thank you."
She kept expressing her gratitude, her expression relieved.
However, when they approached the Sixth Miss and saw her current state, Madam Hou's face turned slightly pale.
Madam Hou called out to her a few times, and the Sixth Miss murmured softly, "Mother..."
"Don't be afraid. Mother will help you onto the carriage," Madam Hou said, although she didn't have much strength. She was already burdened with heavy handcuffs and shackles, and with the Sixth Miss being unable to stand properly, all the weight fell on her, making it very difficult for Madam Hou.
Shu Yu reached out and lent a hand, shifting most of the weight to her side.
Madam Hou thanked her again.
The two of them supported the Sixth Miss and approached the cart, directly helping her lie down inside.
The rest of the Shu family looked on in astonishment. What did this mean? What was Madam Hou's intention?
The Second Madam was the first to glare at her angrily. "Madam Hou, are you betraying the Shu family?"
Betrayal?
Shu Yu sneered, and Madam Hou calmly spoke up. "Betrayal or not, my daughter is on the verge of death."
The Fourth Miss spoke fiercely, "Do you think she won't die lying in the prisoner's cart? Madam Hou, think carefully. Now that you are getting close to this wretched woman, when we reach the Southwest, no one in our Shu family will accept you. And as for my father, he will directly cast you out of the family. You and the Sixth Miss will both struggle to survive."
Among the male members of the Shu family, only the Lord Prefect had been beheaded, and the others would also be exiled.
But unlike the female members, they would depart several days or maybe a couple of months later.
With the Lord Prefect's death, the one who would take charge of the Shu family in the future would either be the Second Lord or the eldest young master, Shu Feng.
The reason the Shu family was still so united now was largely because they were counting on meeting the male members of the Shu family in the Southwest and starting a new life.
