Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio   Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Madam Hou didn’t say anything. There was something she didn’t say. These days, she had been waking up in the middle of the night to interact with the officials. Even if she was careful, she could not guarantee that no one would see her.

When they reached the southwest, no matter who told the Second Lord that she was not even a servant, she would become the target of humiliation and torture in the Shu family. She would not live for long.

Therefore, she cut off this line as soon as she had the chance.

Shu Yu didn’t say anything about Madam Hou’s choice. After resting enough, she set off again.

With two mule carriages, whether it was Shu Yu, Madam Hows six girls, or the official, everyone was much more relaxed except the Shu family.

After walking for another two days, the Shu family could not hold on anymore.

The Fifth Young Lady, who had been silent all this while, suddenly fell, giving everyone a big fright.

When the officer came forward to check, he realized that she had been bitten by an insect. The insect was poisonous. After holding on for a vvhile, the Fifth Young Lady could not hold on any longer. The poison acted up very quickly. In less than fifteen minutes, she was out of breath.

This matter shocked everyone.

Shu Yu was not familiar with Fifth Young Lady and only felt that this person was often gloomy and did not speak.

On the other hand, Madam Hou was extremely disgusted with Fifth Young Lady.

The biological mother of this Fifth Young Lady was the niece of the Old

madam’s maiden family. However, she was not a favored Shu daughter, so she could only be the Second Lord’s concubine.

But she was a noble concubine, so much so that Fifth Young Lady felt that her status was higher than ordinary Shu daughters.

She naturally did not dare to offend the legal daughter in the family. However, among the Shu daughters, only the Sixth Young Lady was younger than her and her status was not as good as hers. So Fifth Young Lady often teased and bullied Sixth Young Lady, using her as a weapon.

Because of this, the Sixth Young Lady was punished several times by the biased Old Madam. If not for Madam Hou, the Sixth Young Lady might not have been able to live until today.

Madam Hou did not have the slightest reaction to Fifth Young Lady’s death, but after learning that she had been bitten by a poisonous insect, she tightened her wrists and ankles to avoid being bitten.

Fifth Young Miss’ mother was still there and at that time she cried so hard that she almost couldn’t breathe. It took her a long time to recover.

However, without the Fifth Young Lady, the original Shu Daughter Alliance had collapsed.

The Second Young Lady first had a bad relationship with the Sixth Young Lady, and then the Fifth Young Lady was gone. Wasn’t she all alone now?

Shu Yu couldn’t understand. The journey of exile was already very tough. If she wasn’t careful, something might happen. The Shu family didn’t want to live well, but they had the mood to form cliques and trample on each other.

Was it because he was used to fighting in the Shu family’s backyard that he felt uncomfortable without fighting for a day?

The Second Young Lady was now in a difficult situation. Her mother was long gone, and her father, who loved her the most, had his head chopped off. The old madam, who could be considered the head of the family, had passed away a few days ago, and she was good-looking.

No matter how smart and capable she was, she couldn’t do anything now. Therefore, not long after, he was targeted by an official who was escorting him.

The officer did not force herself on her, but only threatened and bribed the Second Young Lady a few times.

The Second Miss naturally did not comply, but she did not persist for two days. Under the ostracization of the Shu family’s eldest daughter, she finally got together with the official.

Shu Yu didn’t notice at first. If she hadn’t seen her secretly take out a white steamed bun during lunch today, she wouldn’t have known about this.

Looking at the white steamed bun in her hand, Shu Yu fell into deep thought.

The Second Young Lady was more ruthless than she had imagined..
