Chapter 494: Madam Hou
Shu Yu said, “Are you planning to bring me meat every day?”
“Why not?” Meng Yunzheng felt that it was not a problem. Anyway, he could climb up the wall of the courier station.
After Shu Yu finished drinking the water, he handed over a porcelain bottle.
“What is this?”
Meng Yunzheng looked down at her wrists and ankles and said, “This is medicine to treat external injuries. Although your handcuffs are lighter than others, the skin will eventually be worn out after wearing them for a long time. If your flesh and blood accidentally stick together, you’ll be the one suffering.”
Shu Yu took the bottle and opened it to take a sniff.
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry. This is specially made by Zhao Xi. It’s colorless and odorless. No one will notice that you’ve applied the medicine. You’re not familiar with the Shu family anyway. It’s fine even if you hide in a corner alone and apply medicine…”
Halfway through his sentence, he thought about it and said, “You don’t have a place to put this medicine bottle. Why don’t I send it to you every night in the future? You can go back to sleep after you’re done applying it.”
Shu Yu naturally wouldn’t reject something good.
Her skin was a little tender, and her wrists were already red from the friction. Her feet were fine. Before she left the prison, she had specially wrapped several layers of cloth around her ankles. Although it was a little hot, it would not be worn.
Shu Yu reached out and dug a finger. She wiped it on her wrist and immediately felt cool and comfortable.
After she finished wiping two wrists, she returned the bottle to him. “Thank you.”
Meng Yunzheng just smiled. “Alright, go back and rest. Sleep early.”
Shu Yu fanned herself. “I don’t smell like chicken drumsticks anymore, right?”
“When the wind blows, it doesn’t smell much.”
Shu Yu nodded. “I’ll be leaving then.”
The door of the room was opened. Shu Yu sneaked a glance outside before carefully walking out.
The cool breeze outside was still very comfortable.
She deliberately blew the wind before walking to her room.
However, before she could walk over, a soft voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Shu Yu stopped in her tracks. Who was hiding over there in the middle of the night?
She was worried that someone had seen her entering the house just now. After thinking about it, she quietly walked over to take a look.
Before she got close, she heard the familiar sound of chains. So the people here were also exiled the Shu family women?
Shu Yu got closer and closer. Through the moonlight, she vaguely saw two figures.
Very soon, a voice rang out, “Officer, can’t you feel sorry for me?”
Shu Yu hugged her arms and shivered silently.
Then, another voice followed closely. It was accompanied by an uncomfortable teasing tone. “How do you want me to dote on you? Let you go?”
“How would I dare to play with you, sir? Even if you let me go, I wouldn’t dare to leave. I just want to live a better life on this road of exile. Today, I haven’t eaten my fill. Touch it, my stomach is empty.”
Shu Yu’s mouth twitched. The officer did take out two white buns. “Alright, I know you’ve been wronged. Here, this is for you. However, this steamed bun is not for free.”
“I won’t let you suffer.”
Shu Yu secretly clicked her tongue. Those ruthless Shu family girls all wanted to send her to the official who escorted her. In the end, the Shu family’s concubine had already found a way to benefit her.
She finally recognized that this person was the Shu family’s second master’s concubine, Madam Hou.
