Chapter 829: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 829: Show Some Restraint
The two officials were filled with anger, so naturally, they were not gentle with Aunt Xue and roughly carried her all the way to the Shu family.
Aunt Xue was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, drenching her clothes.
After throwing Aunt Xue in front of the Shu family, the two officials said a few words, "Can't your family even take care of a concubine? She actually went to the village lord to question the content of the imperial decree. It seems that the tasks we've given you are too easy. Tomorrow, all you men should go to the mines."
Compared to the wasteland, the mines would naturally be even more grueling and exhausting.
The expressions of the Shu family members changed, and when they looked at Aunt Xue, their eyes were filled with hostility.
Aunt Xue looked at them in fear, knowing that she was finished.
After dealing with Aunt Xue's matter, Shu Yu went to comfort the emotionally agitated Ruan Shi with a smile. "Mother, you've already given her a beating, so don't let it bother you anymore. This kind of person isn't worth our effort and concern."
Aunt Ruan held her hand, her voice slightly choked. "You've never been willing to talk about what it was like living in the Shu family, and we didn't dare to ask. But today, that Xue said intentionally starving you, making you wear tattered clothes, and keeping you so thin that no one would notice you. We only now know how much suffering you endured."
Although their family didn't have a good life when they were in Shishi Village, San Ya and Da Hu used to be very thin.
But no matter what, their parents were by their side. When a child was wronged, their parents would speak up, and they had someone to rely on when they were helpless.
But what about Shu Yu? At that time, she didn't even know that Aunt Xue wasn't her birth mother. As a young child, she was most eager for parental love. However, the person she trusted the most turned out to be the one who treated her the cruelest.
That Shu Yu could become such a clever and capable girl was truly a blessing from heaven.
Shu Yu hugged Aunt Ruan. "All of that is in the past. I'm fine now, right? Aunt Xue has received her retribution, and I can consider my revenge fulfilled."
She believed that the Shu family wouldn't let Aunt Xue die too easily.
She could find some comfort for the current whereabouts of the young Shu Yu.
After accompanying Luo Erbai and Ruan Shi back to the Zhuangzi and waiting for them to calm down a bit, Shu Yu finally left.
Meng Yunzheng had been waiting for her outside. When he saw her coming out, he whispered, "Do you need my help?"
Thinking of the gruesome sight of Zhang Shu's tongue being cut and his eyes gouged out, Shu Yu turned her head to glance at Meng Yunzheng and smiled, "No need. Just watch. The Shu family won't keep her for long."
Meng Yunzheng didn't say anything else but still paid special attention to the Shu family over the next few days.
After escorting Shu Yu back, Zhao Xi and Da Ya found it strange. Why did those two talk for so long before coming back?
Zhao Xi's suspicious gaze fell on Meng Yunzheng, strongly suspecting that this guy might have done something bad.
Therefore, as they walked back to the Zhuangzi, he specially warned him, "I'm warning you, Ah Yu hasn't come of age yet. You have to show some restraint and not tarnish the reputation of that girl, understood?"
Meng Yunzheng cast a sidelong glance at him. "What? You haven't become part of the Lu family yet, and you already consider yourself a brother-in-law?"
Zhao Xi, "..."
Forget it, he couldn't argue with him. He especially doubted Meng Yunzheng's act of pretending to be dumb during that time.
Moreover, back then, he could still act crazy and play dumb and retort against him a few times.
