Shu Yu no longer paid attention to them. She did not have a deep relationship with the people of the Shu family’s first branch, let alone the concubines and concubines of the second branch.

A moment later, the official stood up and continued to urge them on their way.

When they arrived at the courier station this time, it was much better than last night. It was already dark when they finally entered.

For this reason, the official escorting them was very dissatisfied. Originally, eight taels (monetary) of dry food per person per day could fill their stomachs, but this time, they directly deducted two taels. This made the Shu family, who were already hungry, tired, and in pain, unable to hold it in.

It was unknown who was the first to cry out loud. For a moment, it was as if a barrel of gunpowder had been ignited. The others were also sobbing.

The officer was used to this kind of situation. He was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more irritable as he whipped them. “You don’t want to sleep, right? If you continue mourning, don’t sleep anymore.”

Everyone immediately lowered their voices and could only sniffle. They silently endured their hungry stomachs and returned to their rooms.

Shu Yu ate well, but after everyone fell asleep, she quietly went out again.

Sure enough, Meng Yunzheng was already waiting for her. This time, he gave her a rabbit leg and a boiled egg.

Meng Yunzheng explained, “We hunted a wild rabbit on the way. It’s quite tender. Hurry up and eat it.”

After Shu Yu finished eating, she told him that he didn’t need to send her off tomorrow. She couldn’t come out so late every night.

Once or twice was fine, but the Shu family was exhausted and slept soundly.

However, if it happened too many times, it would always arouse the suspicion of others.

Moreover, she was really…She was afraid that she would get fat.

Meng Yunzheng thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay, I’ll send it to you two days later, one day apart.”

Shu Yu was speechless. Was there a difference?

Shu Yu finished eating and drank two mouthfuls of water before returning to the house.

Tonight, there wasn’t much movement outside, and Madam Hou didn’t come out.

The next day, they continued on their journey. The third day, the fourth day…

Gradually, the Shu family also adapted to this speed. Every day, they lifted their legs numbly and walked forward as if there was no end. They didn’t even pay attention to Shu Yu.

On the fifth day, when the official distributed the rations at noon, he did not give Shu Yu any special food. Instead, he gave her the same dry coarse bread as the Shu family.

The Shu family did not notice at first. They were all sitting in the corner and eating hard biscuits.

Then, they heard the leader say, “Your five taels (monetary) of silver have been used up. You’ve taken care of what you need to take care of. From now on, you’ll be like them. You can only eat these.”

The Shu family members raised their heads after hearing this, especially the few girls from the Shu family. Their bodies trembled and they instantly became energetic.

She was here, she was here, she was finally here. Five taels (monetary) of silver was a limited amount, so the time that the official could take care of her was naturally limited.

These few days, they had watched Shu Yu eat and drink well. Other than traveling, she had not suffered much. She was exiled as well, but her expression was better than before. It was simply poking at their hearts.

Now that the five taels (monetary) of silver had been spent, the special treatment had come to an end.

There was still more than a month to go. They were waiting for Shu Yu to be tortured.

The eldest girl even felt that the originally dry pancake had become delicious. She took a big bite and said, “Her good days are over.”

The Second Young Lady, Fourth Young Lady, and Seventh Young Lady nodded in unison.

Shu Yu did not look at them. She glanced at the pancake in her hand and tried to take a bite.
