Chapter 581: Let Them Kill Each Other

Hou Shi was startled and quickly stood up, making enough noise to cover the sound of Second Madam's shocked knock on the door.

Shu Yu sighed, "I didn't deceive you. The official warned me because I had given them a lot of money along the way. He wanted me to be cautious of Second Miss and avoid losing my life."

Hou Shi slowly sat back down, her face filled with disbelief. "But why would Second Miss do such a thing? She had no grudges with Seventh Miss, and they hardly had any conflicts. Everything was fine. Why would she kill her?"

"Some conflicts are accumulated over time and may not necessarily arise during the journey. Think about how Seventh Miss treated Second Miss back when we were in the Shu family. Besides, Second Miss got involved with the official, which twisted her mind. In her extreme imbalance, wouldn't she want to drag someone down with her? It's not easy to deal with the others, but Seventh Miss is young and small in stature. If she were to take action, it wouldn't cause much commotion."

Hou Shi couldn't speak for a while. "But why didn't the official say anything earlier?"

"Why should they? It would only stir up trouble if they did. Their task was just to escort us to Linzhang Prefecture, and once they delivered us, it was no longer their concern. Seventh Miss has no connection with them, and whether she lives or dies is of no concern to them."

Sixth Miss muttered, "But Second Sister is too ruthless."

"People who are ruthless to themselves are naturally even more ruthless to others."

Second Madam outside the door had a dazed expression and turned to the courtyard in a daze.

Her daughter, only eleven years old, a naive and romantic little girl, had died like this. She didn't fall into the water by accident, didn't get bitten by poisonous insects on the journey, and didn't starve to death or exhaust herself. She was pushed into the water and drowned by someone.

Second Madam took a deep breath, her eyes turning red, and as she looked towards the direction of the kitchen, a vengeful aura enveloped her.

Shu Yu glanced at the door and whispered, "Let's go."

Hou Shi and Sixth Miss breathed a sigh of relief. Now, let them fight each other like dogs.

Although Second Miss was cunning, unfortunately, the person who loved her the most, the patriarch, had died, and everyone else despised her.

The Master Lan she wanted to get involved with was also finished, and now she would have to bear the anger of Second Madam and the others.

After finishing her work, Shu Yu peacefully went to sleep.

Hou Shi looked at her with a complex gaze. This was the first time they had cooperated. Previously, she had only thought that Third Miss had a high combat power, but now she realized that Third Miss was actually a very clever person.

For some reason, as she looked at Shu Yu in this state, Hou Shi unexpectedly felt a lot of anticipation for the days to come.

The next day, Shu Yu and the others woke up early as usual to prepare for work.

They encountered the Shu family in the courtyard, and Shu Yu calmly glanced at Second Madam.

Seeing her slightly red eyes but composed expression, she understood.

Second Madam was planning something big.

She shook her head, smiled, and hurriedly walked a few steps.

Just as Shu Yu and the others took their tools to work in the wasteland, a carriage arrived from the main road.

There weren't many people left in the village, but they couldn't help turning their

heads to look when they saw the carriage.

The carriage stopped outside the mansion, and several people got out. They entered the mansion for a while before coming out again, and the carriage headed towards the foot of the mountain.
