Chapter 2
âPush her into it? Lotus pond?â
Shu Yu immediately took a step to the side and frowned. âWait, are you trying to kill me? Why?â
...
Her gaze swept across the few people present, including her father and siblings, but no one stood up to speak.
The old lady didnât even want to look at her. It was the old woman in charge beside her who spoke up and said coldly, âMiss⊠Oh, no, youâre no longer the third daughter of the Shu family. Youâre just a bastard from who knows where. That year, Mrs. Xue bribed a doctor to pretend to be pregnant, and on the day of birth, she bought a baby from outside to impersonate the third young daughter of the Shu family. That baby was you.â
Shu Yuâs brows were tightly furrowed, and a rare look of surprise flashed across her face.
She couldnât believe she wasnât the daughter of the Shu family. However, the book did not mention this at all.
She wondered if her arrival had caused a butterfly effect.
Just as Shu Yu was puzzled, the old woman beside the old lady spoke again. youâve enjoyed 14 years of a carefree life in the Shu family. Now that the matter has been exposed, itâs natural to set things right.â
Shu Yu raised her head abruptly. âWhat do you mean by setting things right? You mean to push me into the lotus pond and drown me?â
The old lady finally opened her mouth. âThe Shu family can not allow such a stain like you to exist.â
Shu Yu was speechless. She didnât know if she should say âf *ckâ in her heart.
âSo, the snake in my room just now was also your doing?â
The eldest daughter of the Shu family snorted coldly. âActually, you donât feel as much pain when youâre bitten to death by a snake.â
Shu Yu looked at the others. Everyone felt that the old ladyâs decision was right. The Shu familyâs reputation was more important than anything else. Moreover, she was just a bastard child. If she lost her life, no one would care.
Shu Yu now understood why the Shu family had ended up in exile. It was likely that they would also assist the female supporting character to seek death.
Two old women had already come over with two ropes to tie Shu Yuâs hands.
Shu Yu subconsciously wanted to make a move, but on second thought, she stopped.
Now, she couldnât change the ending. The Shu family would be safe and sound until they were exiled three months later, so she didnât need to waste her effort.
Three months later⊠Then she would take revenge.
However, she couldnât just âdieâ like this.
Shu Yu suddenly laughed. Her gaze swept across the crowd. âIf you want to kill me, sure. However, before I die, can you let me say a few words?â
âYou have prepared your last words?â The youngest daughter sneered, âIâll give you a chance. Letâs see what you have to say.â
Shu Yuâs hands were tied behind her back as if her usual weak appearance was gone. She only appeared bigger in size to everyone.
Shu Yuâs gaze stopped on the person on the far left. âMr. Shu, the mistress of Jin Taixiang is as beautiful as a flower, right? Sheâs also pregnant recently, and it was the first Madam who sold her, but you brought her back in the blink of an eye. Itâs true love indeed.â
Mr. Shuâs eyes widened. He immediately wanted to explain faced with First Madamâs shocked gaze.
However, Shu Yu immediately said, âMadam, your nephew killed his second wife. Youâve been discussing with the aunt about letting my second sister marry him, who is also a concubineâs daughter, right? Not only can it solve the problem, but it can also give an explanation to the maiden family.â
âSecond Master, the money you owe the gambling den was paid by the old lady for you, right? But if you continue to gamble, youâll have to use the money from the public.â
âSecond Madam, you drugged Mrs. Liu and caused her to have a miscarriage. It broke Second Masterâs heart. Itâs no wonder that he drank to drown his sorrows and went to the gambling den to gamble.â
âSister, youâŠâ
âShut up, shut up, I told you to shut up.â The old lady clutched her walking stick tightly. Seeing the change in the expressions of the people she had mentioned, she immediately gave the two old women behind her a look. âWhy arenât you doing anything?â
Shu Yu felt that it was a pity. âdidnât you ask me to explain my last words clearly?â When the Shu family was exiled, the things they found out were not just these. These things were all written in the books.
âYouâre talking nonsense. Iâve really underestimated you. Youâre usually quiet, and even when youâre dying, youâre still trying to sow discord and destroy the harmony of my family. Itâs simply abominable.â The old lady was so angry that she could no longer maintain the calmness on her face. She hit the ground in exasperation.
The other people of the Shu family also echoed one after another. The two old women did not dare to delay any longer. They tied a large stone to Shu Yuâs ankle and pushed her into the Lotus pond in a hurry.
The old lady only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Shu Yuâs body sink to the bottom of the pool.
However, what she didnât know was that when Shu Yu sank, She had already untied the rope around hER wrists. When She reached the bottom of the pool, the rope and the stones around his ankles had also been freed.
She dove forward and stuck half her head out from under a lotus leaf.
The people on the shore had not left yet as if they were certain that she would not come up.
The old lady instructed the two maids, âTomorrow night, you will fish her out. Just say that she came out to enjoy the cool night and fell into the pond.â
âYes.â The two old women hurriedly agreed.
The old lady then said to the Shu familyâs Head Master, âLater, take care of Mrs. Xue too. Tell the public that Mrs. Xue couldnât bear the pain of losing her daughter and died of depression.â
The Head Master also agreed without any objections.
However, Shu Yu remembered that Mrs. Xue did not die in the book. She was also on the list of exiles. She did not know how she had managed to survive.
But in this way, Shu Yu understood why Mrs. Xue had been so cruel to her own daughter.
Not only had Shu Yu suffered from hunger and fought with the dog for food, but she had also been left in the room to fend for herself with a high fever. She had knelt in the courtyard under the scorching sun and admitted her mistakes until she fainted. She had almost been beaten to death by Mrs. Xue.
Everyone in the Shu family thought that Mrs. Xue was unhappy that Shu Yu was a girl, so she was angry and didnât get close to her.
