Chapter 465: Shu Yu Was Seen

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

The middle-aged couple was the steward couple who had lived in the manor previously.

Since they were going to put on a show, they had to do the whole thing.

In the eyes of others, they were very concerned about Shu Yu. Now that she was leaving the city, they had to come over to see her one last time and give her some money.

This was still the city gate, so there would still be many eyes watching.

The leader shook the silver in his hand and nodded. “Alright, I understand. Don’t worry, we’ll see what we can do.”

The middle-aged couple nodded, and the woman wiped her tears with her hand. Then, she looked in Shu Yu’s direction.

The leading officer waved his hand and let them say goodbye.

The two of them quickly went forward and whispered a few words to each other, but they were just words of concern to tell her to take care of herself.

Shu Yu kept her head down, occasionally responding or sobbing.

The middle-aged couple did not speak for long before they immediately retreated to the side, not daring to delay the official’s time.

When the other members of the Shu family saw this, their eyes flickered with anger and jealousy.

“How could she be so lucky? She just had to meet two idiots who brought her food and gave her money.”

The Fourth Young Lady was indignant, and the Second Young Lady also frowned.

Since the other party had used silver, it was very likely that the officials would not do anything to Shu Yu.

If they couldn’t target Shu Yu, wouldn’t she suffer?

Before they could think further, the leader waved his hand. “Let’s continue.”

The group of people started to walk again. However, after a few steps, an officer silently retreated to Shu Yu’s side.

The officer thought that there was no profit along the way and was very frustrated. They didn’t expect that there would be a person hiding there who gave them money.

Although that bit of silver was not worth anything, a mosquito’s leg was still meat.

Five taels (monetary) of silver was enough for them to eat and drink well for a while.

He walked over to Shu Yu and sized her up.

They were far away just now, so he didn’t know what this woman had said to that couple. However, he felt that they must have given this woman some money.

“I heard that you’re the adopted daughter of the Shu family?” As he spoke to Shu Yu, he looked at her hand and suspected that she was holding money in her clenched fist.

Shu Yu replied softly.

The officer smiled and said, “It seems that being an adopted daughter is better than being a biological daughter.”

Shu Yu could only smile and agree.

Seeing this, the officer didn’t say anything else. Especially since the leader of the officers was already calling him, he could only stop. Finally, he said, “If you have any problems later, you can look for me. I’m a good person.”

“Alright, thank you, sir.”

The officer frowned. “Raise your head and look at me. Otherwise, how are you going to find me if you don’t even know who I am?”

Shu Yu was speechless. This person was so annoying.

Fortunately, they were already outside the city, so there were not that many people.

Shu Yu closed her eyes and looked up at the officer.

Only then was the officer satisfied. Just then, the leader officer ran over and kicked him. “Didn’t you hear me calling you? What nonsense are you talking about? Go ahead and lead the way.

The two officers pushed each other forward.

Shu Yu secretly exhaled and lowered her head again.

However, what she did not know was that in the blink of an eye, someone not far away had already seen her and recognized her. Now, he stood rooted to the ground in shock as he looked at her back.
