Master Lan finished his instructions and felt somewhat regretful when he realized that the Shu family still had no intention of going to the Music and Pleasure Hall.
"Alright, I've said everything that needs to be said. Go back and familiarize yourselves with Zhengdao Village. Don't oversleep tomorrow morning," he said.
Saying that, he called an old woman over and instructed her to take the Shu family to the house at the foot of the mountain to rest.
The Shu family felt uneasy as they followed the old woman along the uneven road towards their new residence.
Master Lan stood in place, watching as they gradually moved further away, unable to resist rubbing his chin.
Soon, another constable came out of the village and, finding Master Lan still standing there, couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
"Just now, a group of female prisoners arrived from Dong'an Prefecture. One of them looks pretty good," Master Lan, who had been in Zhengdao Village for a while, had developed a keen eye for spotting prisoners among the disheveled and ragged appearance.
Even though Shu Yu had tried her best to hide herself, covering half her face with her hair, he could still tell that she was the most attractive and surprising among the Shu family.
The constable understood instantly upon hearing this, "Do you want to offer her to the higher-ups?"
Master Lan clicked his tongue twice. "Indeed, it's been a while since we had a good-looking female prisoner here."
Even those who were once attractive had been worn down during their exile journey.
Master Lan sighed, "That's true. I've been stuck here in Zhengdao Village, exposed to the wind and sun every day, with no chance of moving to a better place."
The constable chuckled, "But she's just a female prisoner. You can simply tie her up and send her to the higher-ups' bed. Is it worth your attention?"
"You don't understand. It didn't matter before, but now it does. Recently, a high-ranking official from the capital was exiled to Linzhang Prefecture. I inquired about it. That person will be accompanying the governor on an inspection tour soon, and who knows when they'll arrive in our Heichang County. The governor issued an order the day before yesterday, telling us to behave and avoid causing trouble."
"What do you plan to do then?"
Master Lan smiled, "Life here in the wilderness is not easy. Those women have tender skin and flesh. How long can they endure? Even if I don't tie her up and send her over, she will come to us begging for a lighter task in the future. At that time, she will do it willingly."
As they spoke, the two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Shu Yu and the rest of the Shu family had arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain.
After the old woman led them there, she left without another word.
The Shu family looked at each other and had no choice but to enter the house on their own.
The house was indeed small, similar to the courtyard Shu Yu had rented in Liu Fang Alley. There were three rooms in total, roughly the same size. In addition to the rooms, there was a kitchen, an outhouse, and a cluttered storeroom filled with various items.
The courtyard was empty, with a large water tank on the left that seemed to have been unused for a long time, covered in thick dust and spider webs.
The Shu family inspected every corner of the house, and their faces showed expressions of dissatisfaction. They were truly unsatisfied with this house.
Hou Shi approached Shu Yu and asked softly, "Third Miss, are we... going to live with the Shu family from now on?"
Now that there were no official guards or shackles, and with the Shu family's numbers, the three of them were no match for them.
