Shu Yu and the other two returned to the small courtyard where they lived. The Shu family members were either standing or sitting together as they chatted.

Only the Sixth Young Lady stood alone at the entrance of the courtyard, looking outside with a worried expression.

The Shu family mocked and mocked from behind. If it weren’t for the fact that there were officials in the courtyard, they would have attacked the Sixth Young Lady.

Fortunately, the Sixth Young Lady quickly saw Madam Hou and the others return and immediately took a few steps forward. “Mother.”

Madam Hou was very happy. Just now, when no one was paying attention, she had lowered her head to look at the silver notes in her hand.

That Lord Qi was generous. He gave her a hundred taels (monetary) of silver at once.

Not to mention that they were penniless now, even in the past, a hundred taels (monetary) of silver was not a small amount of money for Madam Hou.

With this silver and the instructions from Lord Qi, their journey to the southwest would be much smoother.

She grabbed the Sixth Young Lady’s hand and whispered, “Mother is fine.

Don’t worry. We’ll have a good life from now on.”

The Sixth Young Lady was at a loss, but Madam Hou only patted her hand and said, “I’ll tell you in detail later.”

The few of them walked to the courtyard and saw Shu Yu and Madam Hou who were safe and sound. the Shu family members’ expressions became ugly.

That was not all. When they went out and saw the mule carriage parked outside, they were even more in disbelief.

Shu Yu already had a mule carriage, and now there was another one?

There was no need for the leading officer to explain to the Shu family, so he only let Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady get into the car.

Shu Yu still got on the original cart. The mule carriage that Lord Qi had given her was not too ostentatious, so it was a cart with no place to lean on.

Shu Yu naturally preferred the “carriage” that her father had made. It could be covered with a straw raincoat to block the sun, and there were curtains around it to block the wind and rain. After all of them were put down, it was a private s.p.a.ce.

No one could see what she was doing inside, so she could rest and sleep more peacefully.

When the team set off, Shu Yu opened the purse in her hand and looked at the silver inside. She raised her eyebrows.

That’s right, she had also recovered more than half of the expenses she had spent on hiring officials.

The official would not ask her for this silver.

Shu Yu leaned back in the carriage to rest. After walking for about two hours, the official who drove the carriage was replaced by the leading official.

As soon as he sat on the shaft of the carriage, he increased his speed slightly and put some distance between him and the group behind him.

Then, he began to talk about the middle-aged man’s background. “That Lord Qi was originally the young master. He had a high position and power. Some time ago, something happened to the directorate, and the Emperor was furious. Lord Fu was involved, so he was exiled to the southwest.’

Shu Yu listened silently. The young master was a first-grade official of the imperial court, an a.s.sistant to the emperor.

As expected, he had a powerful background. No wonder he had people protecting him, his family following him on his way to exile, and even someone trying every means to harm him.

The leader of the officers continued, “Although Young Master Fu was exiled, he still has a friends.h.i.+p with the Emperor. Everyone knew that he wouldn’t be in the southwest for long. When the emperor remembered, he would recall her again. Besides, Young Master Fu’s son, students, and colleagues are still in the capital. They will help.”

Shu Yu nodded. “Then who was the person who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him last night?”

The officer shook his head. “I’m just an escort officer.. How would I know about such a secret?”
