▶▶ FULL-LEVEL BOSS DRESSED AS A PEASANT GIRL
Shu Yu had eaten two small steamed buns and then entered the room with her family to rest.
They were still divided into two rooms, one for the elderly lady and the other for the Shu family girls.
Both rooms had large sleeping mats that could accommodate them for resting.
After they entered the room, the lead official glanced at them, particularly at the Shu family, and warned them, "Rest quickly. We have to continue the journey early tomorrow morning. Don't cause any trouble in the middle of the night, or I won't be lenient."
The Shu family fell silent and dared not speak.
After the lead official left, the Shu family glared fiercely at Shu Yu. But they were exhausted from the day's journey and didn't have the energy to do anything, so they resorted to empty threats.
"Just wait, that couple only gave five taels of silver. It won't last long. Let's see how you'll survive once that five taels of silver is gone."
The eldest daughter's voice fell, and the second daughter's voice followed, "I've told you before, on this journey of exile, you're alone, and you'll suffer sooner or later. I can't wait to see your fate."
Shu Yu looked at the two of them. Ah, these two legitimate and illegitimate daughters who were at odds in the prison cell seemed to have united against her, their "adopted sister," when facing outsiders.
She truly held a significant responsibility that deepened their sisterly bond.
Shu Yu sighed, rubbed her stomach, and said, "Dinner was good, and I'm full."
She completely ignored them and climbed to the innermost position on the sleeping mat, lying down.
The Shu family seethed with anger, but they didn't dare make too much noise. Besides, they were all so tired today that the young Shu family girls were already lying in bed with their eyes closed, as if they could fall asleep at any moment.
The others gave up as well. After all, they could only wait and see. It was only the first day, and Shu Yu's future days might not be better than theirs.
They climbed onto the bed and prepared to sleep.
The large sleeping mat could accommodate around ten people, and there were only seven of them in total, with two of them being young. So there was still plenty of space.
No one wanted to be near Shu Yu. They kept their distance from her, and there were at least two empty spots next to her.
She welcomed it and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
As the sky darkened, the room quickly became quiet, and the breathing of the people on the bed gradually became steady.
Perhaps they were too exhausted, as someone started snoring.
Shu Yu wasn't tired. She could handle a fifty-li journey, especially since the ankle shackles weren't heavy, and with a full stomach and plenty of rest, she still had energy.
She couldn't fall asleep and began to miss home.
She wondered how the shop was doing today. When her grandmother saw the two thousand taels of silver she left behind, she would surely scold her. Maybe they would save the money and wait for her return.
She really wanted to see them, but it would be at least half a year, or even longer.
It was the first time she had ventured outside, and she felt a deep longing in her heart.
Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard a soft creak.
Shu Yu snapped back to attention and looked towards the window. Indeed, the window had been opened a crack.
Her heart immediately tensed. Could it be that the officials really wanted to come in and do something?
As the thought arose, the window gap widened slightly, and a brush extended from the outside, then... it swayed left and right.
Shu Yu: ???
Wait, a brush?
Shu Yu seemed to realize something and slowly got up.
She still had the chain on her, so even if she moved lightly, there was still some noise.
