The situation was actually quite simple, and the Lu family members understood it immediately. However, understanding didn't mean they could accept it. "What did Ah Yu do wrong? Why should she be exiled? Whoever passed that judgment, I... I will go and appeal," one of them said angrily.
Xiang Weinan frowned. "I advise you not to stir up trouble, or it will only harm her."
The Lu family members were taken aback and looked up at him.
Naturally, Xiang Weinan couldn't tell them about the other complications involving Shu Yu's journey to the southwest. The situation was too complex, and it wasn't something the Lu family members needed to know.
After a moment of silence, Lu Erbai spoke, "Did A Yu already know she would be exiled? Did she willingly go to the capital?"
Xiang Weinan nodded. "Yes, the court couldn't handle the case hastily. The Shu family suddenly lost a person without any reason. They would eventually come searching for her since the place where the old Ruan lady sold her was in the vicinity of Jiangyuan County. It was only a matter of time before they found this place. Miss Lu didn't want to expose you or involve you, so she appeared in Dong'an Prefecture's capital city before they could find her, allowing them to capture her."
Upon hearing this, the Lu family members instantly broke down emotionally, and even Da Niu wiped his teary eyes forcefully.
Ruan Shi pounded her chest harshly. "Why is she so foolish? Our Ah Yu, she didn't tell us anything, didn't say a word. We thought she was just going on a trip, hoping she would be happy, work hard, and have good meals outside without worrying about us."
"But she is suffering now, and we know nothing about it. She has endured so much injustice. Ah Yu..."
Ruan Shi nearly collapsed from crying, and even Da Ya had tears streaming down her face, too exhausted to even support her.
The elderly lady looked down at her hands, her voice trembling. "She left all her money behind and said she had plenty. But in reality, she left it all for us. She didn't plan for herself to have any backup. She can never come back in this lifetime."
The Lu family members cried together. They had held onto a glimmer of hope, but now even that was gone.
Xiang Weinan's headache intensified. How could someone like Shu Yu not leave a backup plan for herself? She must have had a lot of money, and the Lu family members were worrying for nothing.
He couldn't empathize with them at all.
When the Lu family members had cried enough, Xiang Weinan finally spoke up. "Actually, she's not as miserable as you think."
The Lu family members looked up, even though the person before them was the former magistrate they had once feared, they now directed their anger toward him.
Xiang Weinan couldn't help but smile. "Don't you believe me even when I say it? Miss Lu and I were friends, after all. Could I just stand by and watch her get into trouble?"
He stood up and sneered, "Yes, she was indeed exiled, but I had already made arrangements for the journey. It was a small matter, and I can always handle small matters, right? Do you think those two escorts were fake? Let me tell you, she is being accompanied by two people who will take good care of her."
They just weren't female escorts, but rather more attentive "male escorts."
Upon hearing his words, the Lu family members stopped crying and looked at him.
"Then... is what Ah Yu said about coming back in six months true?" one of them asked.
Xiang Weinan paused for a moment and replied, "...Who can be certain about that? Unexpected things can always happen."
