Chapter 644: Chapter 644 Mrs. Xue’s Accusation Chapter 644: Chapter 644 Mrs. Xue’s Accusation With a loud ‘bang,’ 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, “Hold on.”

“Mrs. Xue?” Shu Feng called out uncertainly. The woman before him looked drastically different from when he had last seen her—she 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, “Eldest Young Master, Second Master, you’re here, that’s wonderful, just wonderful …”

Shu Feng hesitated, then went forward to help her up. “What happened to you?”

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, “Mrs. Xue, take your time and speak, please don’t cry. First, tell me, how is Grandma? Is my mother all right?”

“The old woman, she died on the way to exile.”

“What?” Second Master immediately crowded closer but then he seemed to remember the old woman’s age and it didn’t 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 Four—Fifth 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 didn’t 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.

“That little wretch Shu Yu is now so smug, having found her biological parents to rely on, she doesn’t consider the Shu family at all. Last time, she beat all of us. Second Master, Eldest Young Master, we’ve all been hoping you’d come soon to champion our cause. You wouldn’t believe how much Madam and the others have suffered at the hands of that wretched girl.”

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. Xue’s endless accusations continued, they also began to grow impatient.

Shu Quan frowned and said, “Enough, we understand. Let us rest first, and naturally, we’ll settle accounts with them. Mrs. Xue, is there anything to eat in the house? We’ve been traveling for a long time and are very tired.”

Mrs. Xue’s voice abruptly stopped. Seeing their exhausted expressions, she immediately ceased her complaints and hurriedly said, “I—I don’t know if there’s food. The first Madam and the others don’t get much to eat when they return from work, so there might not be much left. But, I’m sure there’s some in Madam Hou’s room. Yes, that little wretch Shu Yu occasionally provides for her, there must be something good there.”
