Chapter 644: Chapter 644 Mrs. Xueâs Accusation Chapter 644: Chapter 644 Mrs. Xueâs Accusation With a loud âbang,â the door to the woodshed swung open.
As soon as Shu Feng entered, he saw Mrs. Xue collapsed on the ground. Surprised, he raised his hand to stop the others following him and said, âHold on.â
âMrs. Xue?â Shu Feng called out uncertainly. The woman before him looked drastically different from when he had last seen herâshe had not only lost a lot of weight but also seemed to have aged a decade.
Mrs. Xue, sweating profusely, looked up weakly and exclaimed, âEldest Young Master, Second Master, youâre here, thatâs wonderful, just wonderful âŠâ
Shu Feng hesitated, then went forward to help her up. âWhat happened to you?â
Mrs. Xue was suddenly overwhelmed by grief. Thinking about the hardships she had endured these past days and the support of the Shu family men arriving at last, her tears uncontrollably started pouring.
The others were silent.
Shu Feng frowned and said, âMrs. Xue, take your time and speak, please donât cry. First, tell me, how is Grandma? Is my mother all right?â
âThe old woman, she died on the way to exile.â
âWhat?â Second Master immediately crowded closer but then he seemed to remember the old womanâs age and it didnât seem that surprising.
In fact, they had all braced themselves for it.
Mrs. Xue then recounted everything that had happened along the way.
Second Master was somewhat dazed; his daughters, except for Miss FourâFifth Young Lady and Seventh Daughter were gone. The concubines, including Ms. He, were gone as well. Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady had even turned against the rest of the Shu family, aligning themselves closely with an adopted daughter who was supposed to be dead.
Shu Feng, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief; his mother was still alive, and his paternal cousin was there.
He didnât have much of a relationship with Second Young Lady, especially after finding out how much his father trusted and valued her. Shu Feng grew wary of this stepsister, especially since his father had entrusted her with the paintings he had struggled to bring back from the black market.
Mrs. Xue continued, mainly accusing Shu Yu and Madam Hou of their wicked deeds.
âThat little wretch Shu Yu is now so smug, having found her biological parents to rely on, she doesnât consider the Shu family at all. Last time, she beat all of us. Second Master, Eldest Young Master, weâve all been hoping youâd come soon to champion our cause. You wouldnât believe how much Madam and the others have suffered at the hands of that wretched girl.â
As she spoke, she cried, but the man who once pitied her was no longer there; at the scene, apart from Second Master, the rest were the younger generation.
At first, they were filled with righteous indignation, naturally unwilling to be stepped on by a girl they had once looked down upon.
But as Mrs. Xueâs endless accusations continued, they also began to grow impatient.
Shu Quan frowned and said, âEnough, we understand. Let us rest first, and naturally, weâll settle accounts with them. Mrs. Xue, is there anything to eat in the house? Weâve been traveling for a long time and are very tired.â
Mrs. Xueâs voice abruptly stopped. Seeing their exhausted expressions, she immediately ceased her complaints and hurriedly said, âIâI donât know if thereâs food. The first Madam and the others donât get much to eat when they return from work, so there might not be much left. But, Iâm sure thereâs some in Madam Houâs room. Yes, that little wretch Shu Yu occasionally provides for her, there must be something good there.â
