Chapter 854: I Escaped Back
Shu Yu sighed, "Yes, I was exiled to the southwest, but as you can see, I managed to escape and return."
"Escaped?!" The woman gasped in disbelief.
How dare she escape from the place of exile in the southwest and return to her hometown, Jiangyuan County, to find her own relatives? Was she out of her mind?
Shu Yu smiled and brushed off the woman's finger, raising an eyebrow. "Yes, I went through great hardships to come back. Didn't you say I could carry an axe and chop off my uncle's leg? If I were such a wicked person, why would I willingly stay as a laborer in exile? Unable to endure it, I had to escape. Otherwise, how could I be here?"
She said it so convincingly that the woman's legs turned weak with fear.
Oh no, this was bad. It was bad enough that she had committed a crime and been exiled, but now she dared to escape. It was as if she didn't value her own life.
Not only did this involve her niece, but she herself might be implicated as well.
The woman took a step back in shock, stumbled, and rolled on the doorstep.
But before anyone could approach her, she quickly got up and, in a panic, screamed, "Ah..." and ran away without looking back.
Shu Yu sighed, "..." Did she really believe that? Such a lack of courage?
She clicked her tongue and then turned her head.
Seeing Zhou Qiao's shocked expression, Shu Yu lightly coughed twice.
Da Ya glanced at her with a dissatisfied look, but she didn't say much about her sister scaring people. She turned to Zhou Qiao and said, "My sister was just joking. You must be the elder sister-in-law. You might not remember me, but I'm Da Ya, and this is Ah Yu."
Zhou Qiao swallowed nervously. She really didn't remember Da Ya.
She had only seen Da Ya once during the marriage arrangement. After that, her mother passed away, and she had been in mourning at home. Later, Da Ya got married, and because Zhou Qiao was still in mourning and hadn't married Da Niu yet, she didn't attend the wedding. She only sent a gift through Da Niu.
After that, Da Ya didn't have a good time in her in-laws' family, so she rarely came back to her parents' home. Zhou Qiao occasionally visited Shishi Village during festivals, but she never saw Da Ya.
It had been three years, and Da Ya had changed a lot since the last time Zhou Qiao saw her. Naturally, she didn't recognize her.
Now that she took a closer look, she could vaguely see some traces of her past features.
She then looked at Shu Yu. This was the first time she had seen this sister-in-law who Big Bull praised so much.
Just like Da Niu had said, Ah Yu was indeed the most beautiful and eye-catching girl in the Lu family.
She didn't look like a criminal who had been exiled to a remote place and suffered.
Wait, now wasn't the time to think about these things.
Zhou Qiao snapped out of her daze and asked, "Is it really Da Ya and Ah Yu? How did you come back?"
Of course, she didn't believe that Shu Yu had actually escaped. No fugitive would so brazenly appear in front of everyone and openly admit to what they had done.
But Shu Yu's sudden appearance did startle her.
Shu Yu smiled, "Elder sister-in-law, I apologize if I scared you the first time we met. Don't worry, I didn't escape. I was acquitted due to new invention. I just arrived in the city, and Mother, Father, and the others are staying in Liufang Lane. Big sister and I came here to see Big Brother Da Niu."
Zhou Qiao's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Acquitted?!"
Oh my, what kind of invention had been presented for her to be acquitted so quickly and return home?
