Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Let’s End It

Mrs. Xue, due to habits ingrained over a decade, would sometimes still regard her as that meek and inconspicuous young girl, despite having been at a disadvantage in front of her several times.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that the Lu Shuyu standing before her had become terrifying.

She couldn’t help but want to shrink back, but she couldn’t move; she could only stare at her with wide eyes.

Shu Yu laughed, “How cruel you were to me back then, did you never imagine you’d have a day like this? Does your arm hurt? Are you starving? Is there no way out for you in the future? Look, everything I’ve been through, you’re now experiencing too. It’s very fair, isn’t it?”

“I originally thought that you should live like this for the rest of your life. After all, I’ve lived like this for so many years, haven’t I? What a pity, I have to leave now, and we probably won’t see each other again. I was thinking, before I leave, we should settle our past grievances once and for all, right?”

Settle once and for all??

Mrs. Xue’s eyes were filled with terror, her lips trembled, “You, you want to kill me?”

She quickly shook her head, “No, no, no, you can’t kill me.” She urgently clutched the hem of her skirt, “You’ve just been conferred the title of Village Chief; if you kill me, everyone will think you’re ruthless. With so many eyes on you now, you can’t kill me.”

Shu Yu found it amusing, “Why are you so nervous? I never said I’d end it with my own hands.”

“What do you mean?”

“I guess when you came out to look for my parents, the other people of the Shu family must not know, right?”

Mrs. Xue’s eyes widened. She understood that Lu Shuyu wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill her. She wanted to utilize the Shu family.

Shu Yu, however, didn’t want to say much more to her. She fiercely withdrew her skirt from Mrs. Xue’s grasp and stood up, walking towards the officers in the manor.

Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment then desperately turned her head and shouted loudly, “Please let me go, I know I was wrong. I won’t bother you anymore, I won’t go looking for your family again. Please let me go, I beg you, I’m sorry, truly sorry, I won’t dare anymore.”

Shu Yu acted as if she hadn’t heard her. She sighed and said to the two stewards of the manor, “Given her condition, she seems unable to get up. Brothers, I’ll trouble you to help send her back to the Shu family. Also, remind the Shu family members to keep a closer watch on their people. Her mind seems to be getting ever more unclear. The Imperial Decree stated that I have no relation to the Shu family, yet she insists on calling me the Shu family’s daughter, claiming that if I can be released without charge, so can the Shu family.”

As she spoke, she even shook her head, “Saying these things in front of me is one thing, but if it were to spread, people might think the Shu family harbors dissatisfaction towards the Emperor’s Decree. The Shu family is still able to live well in the exile area; if she continues to make a fuss like this, who knows what would happen to them later on.”

The two officers exchanged a glance and nodded, “You are right; our Righteous Dao Village has just received praise from the governor. We can’t afford any trouble.”

After speaking, the two of them stepped forward and lifted Mrs. Xue up.

She still wanted to talk to Shu Yu, but the two officers silenced her directly.

The two officers were already dissatisfied with her for causing trouble at the manor. Especially since they vaguely guessed that Wang Changdong might be transferred to the county town and that the position of Chief Steward of the manor might be selected from among the subordinates. Today, on their shift, such a commotion had occurred; what if it left a bad impression, what then?
