Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Second Madam is Not to Be Trifled With
Upon seeing Shu Yu approach, the other members of the Shu family didn’t say much.
Although each of their faces looked bad, the presence of Zhao Xi yesterday, along with the equally formidable old lady, and the fact that Shu Yu wasn’t someone to be trifled with either, had caused the Shu family to lay down their arms temporarily.
Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady immediately came over and took her back to their room, then asked, “Yu, what brings you here?”

Shu Yu passed the oil-paper package over, “Grandmother asked me to send this to you. Eat up, let’s talk while we eat.”
Seeing the greasy meat, even Madam Hou couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“This…”
Shu Yu wouldn’t let her refuse, pushed it over, and then asked in a lower voice, “Has there been any unusual activity from Second Madam these past two days?”
Madam Hou was startled for a moment, took a bite of the pancake, and after thinking with a frown, she said, “It seems, nothing out of the ordinary. Just like the previous days, she gets up early to work in the wasteland, then comes back to eat and sleep.”
There really wasn’t any other time or energy to do anything else.
Shu Yu pondered, then changed her question, “Has she gone out, or cooked any meals?”
“Yes.” Before Madam Hou could speak, Sixth Young Lady said, “Last night when I went to gather firewood, I noticed that Second Madam was also at the foot of the mountain. Also, the meal last night wasn’t cooked by her, but she did the distributing.”
With many people in the Shu family, the food was cooked together, but who got more and who got less was still allocated by the first and Second Madams.
Even though they were away from the Shu family, this strange rule still existed.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, “As expected.”
She then asked, “After Second Young Lady vomited blood and fainted yesterday, who went to fetch the doctor?”
Madam Hou was shocked, “It was also Second Madam.”
Her mind worked fast, and soon a terrifying suspicion emerged, “Yu, do you mean to say, Second Young Lady’s illness is related to Second Madam?”
Shu Yu suddenly held out her index finger and ‘shushed’ them.
Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady both looked towards the door, only to see a shadow pass by outside, as if someone had stopped there.
Although they had kept their voices very low while speaking, so that nothing could be heard from the outside, the three of them paused their conversation anyway.
The person outside the door stopped for a moment, probably unable to hear anything, cursed softly, and then turned and walked away.
Shu Yu then said to the two, “I had someone look into it, Second Young Lady wasn’t just overcome by anger. She was poisoned.”
Poisoned??
Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady inhaled sharply, “You mean, it was Second Madam…”
Shu Yu nodded, “It should be her. I didn’t expect her to act so swiftly. It seems the death of the seventh daughter filled her with enough hate to turn against Second Young Lady.”
Second Madam was never easy to deal with; in the past, she had directly poisoned Mrs. Liu’s child.
When Madam Hou was giving birth, the doctor who was booked in advance didn’t show up, which was also Second Madam’s doing.
Don’t be fooled by her quietness on this exile journey; that’s because nothing had touched upon her core interests. Her resentment towards Shu Yu wasn’t as strong as that of the first Madam and the others, after all, they were from two different branches of the family previously.
But now that Second Young Lady had dared to kill her daughter, no matter how tough the conditions were, Second Madam wouldn’t let her go.
From eavesdropping on the truth to poisoning Second Young Lady, it took her barely a day, which could be described as incredibly swift.
Hearing this, Madam Hou became worried, “Then could she also take action against us?”
