Shu Yu turned her head to glance at him, then set down the object in her hand with a smile, “Naturally, it’s something that can help me leave the southwest.”
Zhao Xi’s eyes lit up, “Something that can help you leave the exile area mustn’t be simple, it can’t be of little use or effect.”
“Rest assured, once this thing is made, it will be a boon to the people and the nation,” Shu Yu said, patting her hands and standing up. “By then, it will be enough to offset my ‘crimes’.”
Besides, she hadn’t actually committed any crimes, nor was she even a member of the Shu family.
Zhao Xi immediately became excited, but then Shu Yu turned around and stretched her hand toward him, “Have you brought my crossbow arrow?”
“Not yet,” Zhao Xi shook his head, “It’s not ready. Yun will bring it to you tomorrow.”
It just needed to be ready in these three days.
Zhao Xi asked her, “Are you really planning to go hunting for the tiger in the mountains?”
Shu Yu nodded, “I want to take a break. And I’ve been into the mountains with Ma Lu and the others today; they do have some skills. If we coordinate well and the plan is solid, it’s not impossible.”
“It’s very dangerous.”
Shu Yu chuckled, “There’s always danger in hunting in the mountains, don’t you often climb mountains and cross ridges to collect herbs yourself?”
That’s true, but that was out of necessity for his life, wasn’t it?
Sighing, Zhao Xi shook his head and turned back inside.
In the evening, after finishing her dinner and still digesting, Shu Yu saw Madam Hou come hurriedly over with Sixth Young Lady.
Looking up at the sky, Shu Yu thought that at this hour, they should have just returned, right? Shouldn’t they be cooking?
Luckily, there were still some steamed buns warming at home.
Shu Yu took them and handed them over to them. Madam Hou was somewhat embarrassed; she hadn’t intended to visit at this specific time, but she was so anxious that she couldn’t wait any longer.
Because…
“Second Young Lady is gone.”
Madam Hou said softly, “We don’t know when it happened; as soon as we finished our chores and returned home, we heard Mrs. Xue scream that the person wasn’t breathing. Then the other people from the Shu family rushed into the firewood shed and saw that Second Young Lady had stiffened.”
Shu Yu paused for a moment while drinking water, then silently raised the cup to her lips again.
After a while, she nodded, “I guessed it might happen in these couple of days.”

The First Madam’s tolerance of her had already reached its limit.
“What about her funeral arrangements?”
“If a prisoner in Righteous Dao Village dies, it’s handled by the authorities.” So, the First Madam had gone to the Manor to summon the officers, and by now, the bailiff was probably almost there.
Shu Yu stood up, “Let’s go take a look ourselves.”
“Okay.”
After informing the old lady, Shu Yu followed Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady to the Shu family.
Indeed, the officers had arrived and brought two old women carrying a stretcher.
Deaths were too common in Righteous Dao Village; no one nearby bothered to come out and look. When Shu Yu got there, only the members of the Shu family were in the courtyard.
Second Young Lady’s body was carried out of the firewood shed, and the officers, leading the way, took it away directly, uncertain if it would be discarded at the burial mound or cremated.
In a moment, Shu Yu glanced at the First Madam, who wore a face of vindication and relief from having avenged a great grievance.
Shu Yu averted her gaze and, in the next instant, saw Mrs. Xue lying in the firewood shed.
She, “…”
What happened? How did Mrs. Xue end up bruised and swollen, asleep in the firewood shed?
Shu Yu tugged at Madam Hou and pointed inside, “What’s going on here?”
