The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 491: Shu Yu’s Treatment

Shu Yu didn’t know that the moment she raised her head at the city gate that day, a series of events had happened. She didn’t expect that her family would be worried about her and planned to mobilize all of them to chase after her.

After the exiled troops left Dongan Province, the journey became difficult.

Even though it was an official road, the road was flat and spacious. However, they were all dragging heavy handcuffs on their feet, which seriously slowed down their speed.

However, the escorting officer was still urging him relentlessly.

This made the Shu family, who had originally wanted to pay attention to Shu Yu and find an opportunity to cause trouble for her, lose their minds. They only cared about hurrying on their way.

Among everyone, Shu Yu was the most at ease.

The handcuffs on her hands were light, and although the cuffs on her feet were a little heavy, she could also sense that they were much lighter than the others.

At noon, the officers were tired of walking, so they found a shady place to rest.

The Shu family members were all exhausted and sat on the ground without moving. Shu Yu still had the time to look around until a hand appeared.

She raised her head and saw that it was the leader of the officers. She immediately stood up.

The officer said to her expressionlessly, “This is your food. Take it and eat it first. Since I promised your family, I will do it. Eat. This steamed bun is cold. You can make do with it. When there’s a fire at night, you can eat something hot.”

Shu Yu took it. “Thank you.”

The leader waved his hand and returned to his seat.

The other officers were also distributing dry rations, but the rest of the Shu family received dry coarse bread or tasteless dry biscuits.

The amount was very small. After all, the people they exiled had a fixed amount. One person only had eight taels (monetary) of food a day, and it was even less for those under fifteen years old. Anyway, it was enough to ensure that they did not starve to death. No matter how good the conditions were, they did not have it.

Shu Yu was only fourteen years old, but she had two steamed buns with white flour in her hands and a water bag beside them. It was the same as what the officers ate.

The Shu family members were indignant and glared at her angrily again.

However, they did not dare to say anything. After all, the leader of the officers had made it very clear just now that this was because the couple had given them money, so they had given them special treatment.

Old Madam Shu even began to hate her two married daughters. Because of the Shu family, they had married well in their early years. Now, they had been the wives of the family.

As long as a little bit leaked out from between their fingers, not to mention five taels (monetary) of silver, even fifty taels of silver would be easy. If they had given her a little, her journey to exile would not have been so difficult.

However, after the incident with the Shu family, they tried their best to distance themselves from the Shu family. They did not even go to the prison to see their mother.

Shu Yu felt the burning jealousy in her eyes, but she didn’t care. She took the steamed bun and started eating.

This steamed bun…There was a sweetness to it.

To be honest, although she had been in prison and exiled, her food expenses for the past few days seemed to be quite good.

After eating and resting for a while, the official urged them to continue their journey.

In the evening, the group finally arrived at the relay station.

The relay station was outside the city. Other than this relay station, there was no one else nearby.

The officer was still in good spirits and urged the group of people to enter.

The food at night was indeed better. Of course, the Shu family was still the same as at noon.
