Hou Shi didn't fall asleep until dawn, and the consequence of staying up late was that she felt weak and groggy when she woke up.
Hou Shi had a headache, fearing that her condition would be poor throughout the day.
The problem was that the Shu family was targeting her.
Shu Yu glanced at her, noticing that Hou Shi's state was even worse than that of the Sixth Miss.
Shu Yu shook her head, got ready, and left the room.
The rest of the Shu family had already gathered together, discussing the events of the previous night. They were unclear about what had happened, but they vaguely saw Hou Shi coming out of another room, so they concluded that she must have done something.
Now, seeing her again, the Shu family sneered at her.
A few officials approached, and the Shu family thought they were about to depart, but to their surprise, the leading official called for Shu Yu and Hou Shi, "Come with me."
Hou Shi was taken aback and looked at Shu Yu.
The Sixth Miss nervously held onto Hou Shi's hand. "Mother, will everything be okay?"
"I... I think so."
Hou Shi couldn't help but glance at Shu Yu again, who shook her head. "Nothing's wrong."
If there was a problem, the leading official wouldn't have such an expression. She even felt that it might be good news.
Shu Yu followed the leading official, and Hou Shi quickly instructed her daughter, "Wait here for me, stay away from the Shu family and avoid conflicts with them."
"Alright, Mother, please be careful too."
Hou Shi nodded, feeling slightly relieved as she looked at the official standing nearby, and quickly followed after them.
Shu Yu and Hou Shi arrived at another courtyard in the post station. This courtyard was clearly better than the place they were staying, with an elegant environment and layout.
The two followed the leading official into the main hall, and Shu Yu immediately noticed the two men who had fought with the man in black last night.
These two men were dressed in martial attire, expressionless, and stood upright.
In the hall, there was another person sitting there—a middle-aged man who appeared cultured and kind. What surprised Shu Yu was that this person, like them, was wearing prisoner's clothing.
Oh, not quite the same. The prisoner's clothing on this person was very clean, and he even had a coat over it.
As Shu Yu observed the man, he was also sizing them up.
However, the middle-aged man quickly withdrew his gaze and smiled, saying, "You don't need to be nervous, I am grateful to both of you for helping catch the man in black yesterday. He was after me, and although it was a coincidence, you still helped me out. Naturally, I should repay the favor. If you encounter any difficulties, you can talk to me."
Difficulties?
Shu Yu looked at the man in front of her and began to contemplate.
This person was clearly a prisoner, but as a prisoner, he had skilled protectors around him. Moreover, there were men in black targeting him during the exile journey, indicating that his identity was extraordinary.
Shu Yu liked to accumulate favors owed to her, so that she could exchange them for something significant in the future, just like when she faced Xiang Weinan.
And at the moment, she didn't really have any difficulties. The only difficulty was that she didn't want to be exiled to the southwest, but evidently, that request was a bit too much, considering the current status of the person in front of her.
Therefore, Shu Yu shook
her head and said, "I don't have any difficulties at the moment."
Hou Shi had the same idea as Shu Yu. She also didn't want herself and her daughter to be exiled to the southwest. She opened her mouth, but in the next moment, she saw the prisoner's clothing on the middle-aged man and felt that her idea was too naive.
However, there was one difference between her and Shu Yu—she still needed money.
