Shu Yu's forehead twitched as she climbed onto the carriage with Zhao Xi? If Zhao Xi did that, he would be done for, and Meng Yunzheng would definitely beat him to death.
As they spoke, the two of them entered the post station together.
The Shu family had been traveling all day and were about to rest in their rooms when they heard a commotion and turned their heads.
When they saw Shu Yu, their eyes widened in disbelief.
They had no idea that the official had come to find Shu Yu. They only saw him leave after receiving a letter from the post station, thinking that something urgent had happened.
Unexpectedly, the official had returned, bringing Shu Yu back with him.
The faces of the Shu family turned even more unpleasant. They couldn't believe that her life was so resilient. Despite being dragged away by a crazed mule cart for such a long distance, even the leading official was injured, but she stood before them unscathed.
Truly, she was impossible to kill.
Shu Yu also looked at the Shu family, and after not seeing them for about ten days, they appeared even more haggard.
However...
It seemed like the numbers were off.
Before Shu Yu could take a closer look, Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss walked towards her.
Both of them were relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
"We were really worried when that mule went crazy and ran away. It was a nerve-wracking experience. As long as you're alright, this hand..."
Shu Yu glanced down and smiled, saying, "I'm fine, it's just dislocated. I've seen a doctor, and it will be fine with some rest."
Hou Shi also felt relieved and then accompanied Shu Yu back to their room.
They were still sharing a room with three people. After all, Hou Shi had registered under Mister Qi, and the official had also accepted a silver ticket from Young Master Qi. Such a small request could still be fulfilled for them.
Shu Yu's right hand was inconvenient, so Hou Shi went out to fetch water for her and helped her wash her face.
After tidying up, Shu Yu asked, "I noticed that there seem to be fewer people from the Shu family. What happened?"
Hou Shi's expression turned serious, and she nodded slightly, saying, "In these days, we have lost three more."
"Three?" Shu Yu was surprised.
Hou Shi nodded, spreading the sheets while explaining, "As we get closer to the southwest, the climate becomes increasingly harsh and unsuitable. The master's concubine, Lady Jin, was forced by the madam to have a miscarriage three months ago. After a difficult recovery, she encountered the calamity of imprisonment. I thought that with her condition, she would probably lose her life in prison, but unexpectedly, she held on and walked such a long distance. One day after you were taken away by the mule cart, she fell ill and passed away."
Lady Jin was the one who, in front of everyone, revealed that Shu Yu was the concubine of the Shu family's master when Shu Yu was forced to drown.
She was quite a ruthless character. Previously, she was a maidservant by the madam's side. When Shu Yu was young, she was often bullied by Lady Jin. While behaving obediently in front of the madam, she would secretly seduce the master.
When the madam found out, she sent Lady Jin away, considering their many years of mistress-servant relationship. But who would have thought that within a day, she would be arranged by Master Shu to live in a separate place and become a concubine.
During the journey, she had been very quiet and rarely caused any trouble.
Who would have thought that she would just vanish like this?
"And the other two?" Shu Yu asked.
Hou Shi whispered, "The other two are Aunt He. You know, since the Fifth Miss left, Aunt He hasn't been in good spirits."
