Lord Jing frowned, not understanding what this person was up to. Just as he was about to wave his hand to tell her not to meddle, the short official beside him asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Lord, we are all women of the Shu family. Although our family has met with misfortune, we were once famous ladies in the Dongan Province. Even if we’re exiled, we still want to leave with dignity. At least let us wash our faces and tidy ourselves up so that we won’t leave the Dongan Province in such a disheveled manner. I beg Lord to grant us this wish.”
Lord Jing frowned and rejected her subconsciously. “Nonsense. What time do you think it is now? By the time you’re done packing, the sun will have already set.”
The Second Young Lady’s expression changed slightly as she pursed her lips.
She had her thoughts. Although she didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the conversation between the Fourth Young Lady and the Eldest Young Lady yesterday, she didn’t say anything. However, the Fourth Young Lady had said something to her heart. Among all the women, Shu Yu was the most beautiful.
This was also the reason why she was clearly like an invisible person, but she still had a difficult life in the residence.
Other than her, she was the most beautiful.
She didn’t know if it was because the daughters of the Shu family all took after the old master of the Shu family, but if they didn’t dress up carefully, their appearances would be very ordinary. The Second Young Lady was the only one who followed her mother. Her mother was good-looking, so she became the concubine that Head Master of the Shu family once liked the most. She also became the most valued daughter.
The Second Young Lady was sure that if Shu Yu had not returned, she would have been the most likely victim on the road to exile.
But now that there was someone in front of her, the Second Young Lady heaved a sigh of relief and also added fuel to the fire.
As long as the escorting officer saw Shu Yu’s appearance, even if he had thoughts, he would not look at her.
Every man for himself.
Moreover, she had given her a way out yesterday, but she did not know what to do. What could she do?
However, Lord Jing was not happy. The Second Young Lady still did not dare to challenge his authority at this juncture.
It was the short official who said, “Why don’t you make an exception, Lord Jing? After all, this was her last chance. Perhaps someone with good looks would take a fancy to her and she would be able to live a good life again. However, there’s no need to dress up. She just needs to wipe her face.”
They were all smart people. They knew everything that had happened in the cell, including what they had eaten, done, and said yesterday.
From what the Second Young Lady had said, they could easily think of the Fourth Young Lady’s plan.
The short man was the Second Prince’s man. He despised the Shu family, who stood on the Third Prince’s side, for still fighting openly and secretly at this juncture. However, he was happy to watch the show. He could not wait for them to make a scene as fierce as possible.
The one with narrow eyes knew what Miss the Shu family was planning, but he couldn’t help but frown. However, he was the Third Prince’s man, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to express too many opinions in this trial to avoid causing more trouble, so he didn’t say anything.
Lord Jing didn’t want to agree, but the leader of the escorts was his man. With his instructions, even if Shu Yu looked like a fairy, he wouldn’t dare to touch her.
Therefore, Shu Yu did not need to worry about this.
Lord Jing weighed the pros and cons for a moment and did not object anymore. He had always been a person who did not have his own opinions. Although he was the chief judge of this trial, the ones who were jumping up and down were the Second Prince’s men.
