Chapter 596: Chapter 596: The Cause of Second Young Lady’s Illness
Late at night, the Shu family couldn’t possibly go anywhere else for help; it was already fortunate they could find a physician to come back with them.
Shu Yu wasn’t surprised by the Shu family’s cold-hearted actions, “What did the physician say?”
“The physician said the Second Young Lady has fallen ill from depression, and spitting blood was caused by fury overwhelming her heart. Now, all she can do is rest and eat well.”
Shu Yu quietly looked up at the sky, thinking in such a place, how could one rest? How could one eat well?
Here, having food and shelter was already good enough, let alone having the conditions to nurse an illness.
Moreover, falling ill from depression and fury overwhelming the heart?
Shu Yu felt that this diagnosis was unreliable, considering the Second Young Lady’s temperament; she was more likely to cause depression in others rather than falling ill from it herself.
“But I just made a point to ask around,” Madam Hou suddenly leaned toward Shu Yu and whispered, “It turns out that the physician is nothing but a quack. I heard that he was exiled here because he had killed someone with his treatments.”
So, Madam Hou expressed significant doubt about his diagnosis.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “Where is the Second Young Lady now?”
Madam Hou replied, “She’s lying at home. She can’t even get out of bed now, let alone get up and work. I just saw the Shu family go and explain the situation to the old women at the manor.”
It’s common for people to fall ill, and taking time off here isn’t forbidden.
However, taking time off meant no food, and it would also be recorded; the missed amount would eventually have to be compensated for with money.
Madam Hou was now worried…
“Even though we are at odds with the rest of the Shu family, in the eyes of the officers, we are one family. The money owed will have to be paid together.”
They could receive and consume their food separately, but the debts incurred on the road during their exile and the rent for the house belonged to each individual.
Shu Yu wasn’t concerned about this, “You don’t need to worry about this.” She paused and lowered her voice, “I heard that the Lord Qi we encountered on the road might pass by here sometime soon. He is currently working under the governor. Although he might not be able to do other things, helping us break away from the Shu family could easily be accomplished.”
Madam Hou’s eyes suddenly brightened, “Are you serious? Did your family tell you this?”
Shu Yu nodded, “Yes.”

Madam Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression lightened.
As the three of them spoke, they had already reached their designated work area.
Shu Yu glanced over at the Shu family side and indeed didn’t see the Second Young Lady.
She and Madam Hou separated and returned to the side of a family of three. They had become quite familiar; this family of three was easy to get along with. Shu Yu had many things she wasn’t sure about, and they knew all the answers.
Especially since she was planning to switch to hunting, it was the perfect opportunity to ask the male head of this family.
The man, named Xu Dali, his wife Ms. Lin, and their ten-year-old son Xu Zhensheng.
Their family of three had been exiled here, not for committing any crime but due to the consequences of actions taken by Xu Dali’s father.
His father worked for a prince who attempted a rebellion. Although unsuccessful, it had far-reaching consequences.
Xu Dali’s father had died on their way to exile, but they still had to continue their life of hard labor here.
However, this was already their third year; other than an incident last year when Xu Dali broke his arm during a hunt, the family had managed to stay intact through it all.
Shu Yu got along well with them; seeing Xu Zhensheng approaching with a basket, she took out two pieces of candy from her pocket and handed them to him.
