The official agreed and took the opportunity to make things difficult for the Sixth Miss.
The soldier who was driving the cart carrying the urgent documents saw an opportunity. He noticed that the Sixth Miss was sitting at the back of the cart, so he thought that if he caused a disturbance, she would fall off the cart.
Therefore, he intentionally didn't turn the cart in time, causing the mule to be startled. As expected, the Sixth Miss fell off the cart.
However, Hou Shi, who was worried about her daughter, instinctively tried to pull her back up, but both of them were thrown off.
But that wasn't the worst part. Unexpectedly, their mule collided with the cart in front, causing the mule in front to be frightened and run wild.
Not only did the leading official almost lose his life, but Shu Yu also went missing from that moment on.
The official was frightened and naturally wanted to keep this matter under wraps, so everyone treated it as an accident.
However, the Second Miss was extremely pleased. She didn't expect the outcome to be so pleasantly surprising. She wanted to repeat the same trick and get rid of Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss in the process.
Unfortunately, the official didn't dare to go along with her plan.
Who knew that Shu Yu would suddenly return a few days ago? Seeing her come back to life, the Second Miss's eyes turned red.
She was unwilling, so she approached the official again last night.
Seeing that they had already arrived in Linzhang Prefecture, the official naturally didn't want any further complications, so he refused the request.
The two of them argued for a while and were overheard by another official.
That person saw an opportunity, considering that Shu Yu would be giving out silver soon, and told the leading official about it.
After hearing it, Shu Yu was speechless for a while.
"Do I have any deep grudges with the Second Miss?"
"There doesn't need to be any deep grudges," the official smiled. "When a person is under enough pressure and their heart becomes twisted, they will inevitably be provoked and want to eliminate anyone who seems to be doing better than them."
Shu Yu frowned, realizing that it made sense.
Initially, the Second Miss targeted her, perhaps just to protect herself.
Later, with the deaths of the Old Madam and the Fifth Miss, the Sixth Miss severed ties with her, and she gave her innocent self to the escorting official whom she had previously looked down upon. It was normal for her thoughts to become extreme and twisted.
The leading official added, "Hmm... I also suspect that the death of the Seventh Miss from the Shu family is related to her, but there is no evidence."
"..." After listening to the official's words earlier, Shu Yu couldn't help but make a connection. "I understand. Thank you for letting me know. I will be careful of her."
"Then, farewell. I wish you a safe and peaceful future. We may meet again."
"We may meet again."
The leading official smiled and led her back to the Shu family's exiled group.
The officials from Linzhang Prefecture had finished their verification, and he handed over the documents before leaving with the others.
The Shu family members remained in place, feeling a bit lost for a moment.
After a while, the matriarch spoke and asked, "Sir, where do we go next?"
The official from Linzhang Prefecture wasn't easy to deal with and snorted coldly upon hearing the question. "Why are you asking so many questions? Just follow me."
He led the way, and the members of the Shu family followed one by one.
It was only after they left the government office that the Fourth Miss quietly asked the eldest sister, "Are we going to work at Linzhang Prefecture from now on?"
The official, who had sharp ears, actually heard it and immediately sneered, "What are you thinking? This is the capital city. The place you're going is the Heichang County below."
