Chapter 651: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 651: Hou Shi's Departure
Hou Shi pulled Sixth Miss and turned around, leaving the main hall. As they walked into the courtyard, she saw Xue Yinu, who had been hiding in the firewood room, with a smug expression on her face.
Hou Shi couldn't be bothered with her and picked up the baggage from the ground.
Second Master took a few steps forward and chased after them. "Hou Shi, you better think it through. Once you step out of this door today, it won't be so easy to come back next time. If you're willing to admit your mistakes, behave well, and serve the others in the family obediently, I can give you another chance."
Hou Shi didn't have deep feelings for Second Master to begin with. She had married him in the first place to escape the brothel.
Little did she know that leaving the brothel wouldn't spare her from exile. The outcome wasn't much better either.
The only comfort she had was her considerate daughter.
That's why leaving Second Master held no sway in her heart. She even wished to leave right away.
Unfortunately, all the food she had saved up was eaten by these wretched creatures.
Hearing Second Master's furious voice behind her, Hou Shi left with Sixth Miss without even turning her head.
Second Master and the others were stunned. Did she really leave? Did she think the Lu family would shelter her forever?
Hou Shi and her daughter left cleanly, but once they were out of the courtyard, Sixth Miss couldn't help but shed tears.
He was her father, unlike her mother.
Before the fall of the Shu family, her father had loved her dearly and would think of her when he had something good.
She felt distressed with the current situation.
But if she had to choose between her parents, she would naturally stand firmly on her mother's side without any hesitation.
Hou Shi didn't try to console her and let her vent her emotions.
She planned to go straight to the village. Since they couldn't stay here anymore, she would inform Cheng Daren that they would go to the post station today.
Initially, she thought they still had half a day left and that they could gather and have a conversation when Shu Yu returned. She didn't know when they would meet again after parting ways.
But now, that wish couldn't be fulfilled. Fortunately, Cheng Daren and the others planned to wait for Shu Yu to return from hunting, so she would go directly to the village then. They would at least have a chance to meet before leaving.
However, halfway through their journey, Hou Shi suddenly stopped.
Sixth Miss looked up while sobbing, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"During these days, Lady Lu has been taking care of us. She even gave us warm clothes and plenty of food. Since we're leaving, it's only right to say goodbye to her. Let's go to the Lu family first."
Sixth Miss nodded, and they immediately changed their direction.
As they entered the gate of the Lu family, they were unaware that someone was following them.
Shu Feng raised his gaze and glanced at the house not far away, sneering. So, this is the Lu family. He made a mental note.
After the Lu family's gate closed, Shu Feng didn't pay any more attention. He changed direction and walked towards another destination.
After a few steps, a voice came from behind, "Big Brother, where are you going?"
Shu Feng turned around and saw Shu Quan catching up three or four steps behind. "I lost sight of you in an instant. How did you end up here?"
"I was planning to go into the mountains."
Shu Quan was stunned. "Into the mountains? Now?"
"Yes." Shu Feng raised his gaze to the distant mountain peaks, as if he could still hear the sounds of wild beasts. "You also heard what aunt Xue said. Working in the wasteland is meaningless for us—tiring and with little gain. But it's different in the mountains."
No chapter 52???
