Chapter 634: Chapter 634 Zhao Xi Slipped Away
Chapter 634 -634 Zhao Xi Slipped Away
“The Sixth Young Lady felt somewhat uneasy. She turned her head to glance at the Shu family’s gate and, after making sure no one was paying attention to them, whispered, “I, I think I said something I shouldn’t have.”
She recounted in full detail how she felt unwell yesterday morning, came back to seek medicine from Sister Daya, and then couldn’t control her own mouth, spilling everything about her life in the Shu family to Shu Yu.
Shu Yu, upon hearing this, remained silent for a long while before frowning, “Did you only tell my sister?”
“Yes.” The Sixth Young Lady nodded frantically, seeing her frown and feeling even more uneasy, “I’m sorry, it was my fault for speaking too quickly.”
Shu Yu was silent. Although she wasn’t angry with the Sixth Young Lady, the girl’s tendency to speak without thinking indeed needed to change.
So she kept a stern face and didn’t speak for a good while, watching as the Sixth Young Lady nearly burst into tears, before asking, “So, you suspect that Mrs. Xue was beaten by my sister?”
The Sixth Young Lady didn’t make a sound. She truly suspected that it had been Sister Daya who hit Mrs. Xue. After all, wasn’t it too much of a coincidence that Mrs. Xue was beaten right after she talked about Shu Yu?
But she dared not tell anyone, not even her own mother.

To Shu Yu, however, she still reported truthfully.
Shu Yu exhaled, “I understand now, but remember, this wasn’t done by my sister. Understand? It wasn’t her.”
Even the Sixth Young Lady, as slow as she was, caught the implication in her words and hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes, I know, it wasn’t Sister Daya. No one knows who Mrs. Xue offended.”
“Hmm.” Shu Yu nodded, “Alright, I’m leaving now. You should go back.”
The Sixth Young Lady, seeing that there was nothing more to be said, slowly relaxed and turned around to return to the yard.
Shu Yu walked away with her hands behind her back, but the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
She truly hadn’t expected it, her sister had such a fierce side to her.
No wonder she had looked so guilty last night. Shu Yu had thought it was because she felt embarrassed about meeting with Zhao Xi.
Shu Yu felt a hint of pleasure and her steps became noticeably lighter.
However, upon entering the courtyard, the smile on her lips fell. She went straight to look for Zhao Xi.
Since Daya had returned to the county town, if she wanted to confirm her suspicions, naturally she had to look for him.
However, when Shu Yu called out twice for him, he was nowhere to be found; instead, the old lady came out to say, “What’s the urgent matter with Doctor Zhao? He’s gone out.”
“Gone out?”
“Yes, he left shortly after you did. He insisted on picking some herbs, claiming they would only be fresh if picked late at night. I don’t understand; are there really such peculiar herbs in this world that can’t wait until the next evening? It’s so dark and dangerous at night.”
Shu Yu gave a hollow laugh, picking herbs? It was clearly because he knew she went to the Shu family and would see Mrs. Xue’s battered state, worried that she would suspect the two of them, so he hurriedly made himself scarce.
But by leaving in such a hurry, didn’t he just confirm her suspicions even more?
Shu Yu shook her head and said to the old lady, “Don’t worry about him. In this area, he’s a professional and a Lord, he knows how to protect himself.”
“Hmm.” The old lady wasn’t too worried about a grown man like Zhao Xi.
Shu Yu didn’t concern herself either with Zhao Xi’s sudden departure and went back to her room to rest.
The next day, Shu Yu got up early to go hunting in the mountains again.
They still worked with Ma Lu and his team, entering deep into the mountains, their cooperation growing even more seamlessly.”
