The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 522: The Old Madam the Shu family Is Dead

They were different from Shu Yu, who had given them money.

They did not have money to bribe the officials. If they dared to cause trouble, they would only be beaten up.

Mrs. Xue became the target of public criticism, which made her hate her even more. It didn’t matter. When she reached the southwest, she wanted to see if she would still have the comfortable life she had now.

The rain continued for a long time until they arrived at the relay station.

The Shu family was in a sorry state. Even with an umbrella, they were still wet.

Shu Yu came out of the car. She was dry and dry, and there was almost no place that was drenched in the rain.

In the evening, the courier station made ginger soup for them. The Shu family drank a large bowl of it and only then did they feel a little warmer.

The officials would not stop them in this aspect. If the prisoner fell ill, it would slow down the process.

But even so, several members of the Shu family fell ill. Last time, their luck was good and they all survived. This time, however, they were not as lucky as last time. Old Madam the Shu family, Mrs. Xue, the Fourth Young Lady, and the Sixth Young Lady all fell ill.

It was fine at first, but her nose was stuffy and uncomfortable. Later, they became light-headed and fell to the ground as they walked.

Mrs. Xue and the Fourth Young Lady were still right. They were young after all and could handle it.

Old Madam and Sixth Young Lady couldn’t do it. Old Madam was old and had always been pampered. She had suffered so much these days and was already at her limit. If she fell sick again, wouldn’t it take half of her life?

The officer felt a headache when he saw the situation, but he could not stop to rest just for a few patients.

At most, they would get someone to boil some herbs for them to drink when they reached the relay station.

However, these herbs were not very good. They were cheap and slow to take effect. They were not very useful.

Moreover, the money for these herbs was owed by the Shu family. Whether it was the accommodation fees, food expenses, or medicine, they were all paid by the government. They had to pay them back in the future.

After the old madam and the others drank the medicine, the officer did not care about them anymore.

However, to prevent the cold from spreading to other people and causing them more trouble, the officials sent a few sick people to live in separate rooms.

A few of them were sick and slept soundly at night.

The next day, the Fourth Young Lady’s scream suddenly came from the room. “Ah, someone’s dead. Someone come quickly.”

The officer and the other members of the Shu family had already woken up and were about to come over to call them. Just as they reached the door, they heard this mournful cry.

Madam Hou was the first to push open the door. Her daughter, Sixth Young Lady, was also sick and staying in this room. She was afraid that the one who had gotten into trouble was her daughter.

Fortunately, when she entered the house, she saw that her daughter was still awake despite being curled up in a corner in fear. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly went over to hug her.

The others also came in one after another. They saw the old madam lying in the middle of the big bunk with her eyes closed and her face pale. She was motionless.

Shu Yu stood at the back. She looked at the old madam expressionlessly, not moved at all.

She had long expected this to happen. How could the Shu family, a group of women who only knew how to fight openly and secretly, arrive in the southwest safely?

Moreover, it was the old madam who was already quite old.

Shu Yu sneered. When she cold-bloodedly asked someone to sink her into the pond, she probably didn’t expect that she would die earlier than her, right?

The old madam died, but not only Shu Yu, but the rest of the Shu family were not sad.
