The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: I Escaped and Came Back

Shu Yu sighed, ”Yes, I was banished to the southwest, and now, I’ve escaped back.”

”Escape?!!” The woman took a sharp intake of cold breath.

She actually dared to escape from the exile area in the southwest? And she even ran back to her hometown, Jiangyuan County, to find her own family members? Has she gone mad?

Shu Yu laughed and brushed off her fingers, raising her eyebrows, ”Yes, it was very tough for me to come back. Didn’t you say that I could even take an ax to chop my uncle’s leg? How could someone as evil as me willingly do hard labor in the exile area? If I couldn’t endure, I had to escape. Otherwise, how could I appear here all well and fine?”

She spoke with such conviction that the woman’s legs turned weak from fear.

It’s over, it’s over. It was one thing to be banished for committing a crime, but she even dared to escape from prison; she’s simply not afraid of dying.

This could implicate not just her niece, but she could be implicated as well.

The woman was so startled that she stepped back and directly tumbled over the doorstep, rolling around.

But without waiting for someone to approach, she immediately scrambled up, looked at Shu Yu with terror, screamed ”Ah...” and ran off heedlessly.

Shu Yu, ”...” You believe that? Is your courage only this small?

She clicked her tongue and then turned around.

Seeing that Zhou Qiao was also shocked, she coughed lightly.

Daya glanced at her annoyingly but didn’t comment further on her sister’s antics of scaring people. She told Zhou Qiao, ”My younger sister was joking, you must be the sister-in-law, right? You probably don’t remember me, I’m Daya, this is Yu.”

Zhou Qiao swallowed, she indeed did not remember Daya.

She had only seen Daya once during the engagement, and after that her mother passed away, and she had been observing mourning at home. Soon after, Daya got married and because she was in mourning and had not yet married Daniu, she had not attended her wedding but had Daniu send the gifts on her behalf.

After that, Daya was having a hard time at her in-laws’ and seldom returned to her maternal home. Zhou Qiao would occasionally visit Shangshi Village during festivals but never saw Daya.

It had been three years, and Daya had changed quite a bit since the last time they met, so naturally, Zhou Qiao couldn’t recognize her.

Now that she took a closer look, she could indeed vaguely see the familiar features from before.

She then glanced at Shu Yu; this was the first time she was meeting this sister-in-law, who Daniu often praised endlessly.

Just like Daniu had described, Yu indeed was the most beautiful and striking girl in the Lu family.

She didn’t look at all like someone who had been banished to a remote land and suffered as a criminal.

Wait, wait, this isn’t the time to think about this.

Zhou Qiao snapped out of it and asked, ”Is it really Daya and Yu? How did you guys come back?”

Of course, she wouldn’t think Shu Yu really escaped, as no fugitive would appear so brazenly in front of everyone and openly admit what she had done.

But Shu Yu’s sudden appearance indeed startled her.

Shu Yu smiled and said, ”Sister-in-law, I’m sorry to have scared you on our first meeting. Rest assured, I didn’t escape; I acquired some merit and was released without charges. We just entered the city; Grandmother and my parents are resting in Liufang Alley, and I came here with my older sister first to visit Brother Daniu.”

Zhou Qiao’s eyes brightened, exclaimed, ”Released without charges??”

My goodness, what kind of merit did she achieve to be able to come home in such a short time?
