The Shu family shrunk their necks and dared not make a sound.

The officer continued, “Heichang County is still two days away by foot. You can rest here for the night and set off tomorrow morning. When we reach Heichang County, someone will naturally tell you what to do. Before that, you better behave yourselves, do you hear me?”

The Shu family members responded sparsely. The official snorted coldly and led them to the place where they were imprisoned.

The next morning, the sky had just brightened, and the Shu family had yet to wake up when the official came again. His attitude was very bad as he called everyone to get up and set off.

The Shu family did not dare to complain. When they woke up early, the weather was still freezing. Even Shu Yu felt goosebumps, let alone the other members of the Shu family.

Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady came over. The three of them pressed against each other, and only then did they feel better.

When they reached the street, Madam Hou took advantage of the fact that the official in front of her was not paying attention and asked Shu Yu in a low voice, “Third Miss, could Lord Qi have already arrived at Linzhang Prefecture?” Where do you think he will be exiled to?”

Shu Yu glanced at her. “You want to use him to find a leisurely job?”

Madam Hou nodded. “Yesterday, when that official talked about Heichang County, his expression was strange. It must not be a good place, and the work he did was not light. I can hold on for a while, but our Sixth Young Lady is only eleven. Her body hasn’t even grown, so how can she hold on?”

The Sixth Young Lady quickly whispered, “Mother, I’m fine.”

Madam Hou sighed. Others might not know, but she had stayed in the brothel for so many years and had heard and seen many things. Occasionally, there would be officials in charge of escorting exiled prisoners who would go to drink, and she had more or less heard about it.

She knew that compared to the suffering on the road to exile, the heavy work in the exile was more likely to make people unable to stand up.

Shu Yu was also clear about this.

She turned back to look in the direction of the government office and said, “With Lord Qi’s status, he will most likely be left behind by the local government to work. As for where it was, it was hard to say. In short, it wouldn’t be too bad. We’re new here, so we don’t know many things. We can’t rashly inquire about his whereabouts. Let’s wait for a while and ask around.” Madam Hou thought about it and agreed. If she said that she wanted to see Lord Qi or something, she would probably lose even her last bit of face.

Wait a little longer.

Shu Yu saw that the Shu family in front did not notice them, so she took the opportunity to tell Madam Hou and her daughter what the leader of the officials had told her yesterday.

Madam Hou and the other two were shocked when they heard this. “You are saying that when the Second Young Lady wanted to harm the Sixth Young Lady, that mule was not startled by accident?”

Shu Yu nodded. “In short, when we arrive at Heichang County, all of you just have to be careful.’

Madam Hou r s expression was serious as she tightly held the Sixth Young Lady’s hand.

She didn’t expect that even after leaving the Shu family’s deep backyard, she still couldn’t escape these schemes.

The rest of the journey did not have any more trouble.

They left for two days. It was not until noon the next day that they finally saw the city gate of Heichang County.

However, this was not all. Heichang County was a county. For exiles like them, the environment would naturally not be so good.

Just when the Shu family thought they could rest, the officer led them forward again.

Shu Yu didn’t say anything along the way. To be honest, no one deliberately took care of him on the way. She was indeed quite tired and didn’t even sip water..
