Master Lan was almost done explaining. Seeing that they had not changed their minds about going to the music center, they even looked rather regretful.
“Alright, I’ve said enough. Go back and familiarize yourself with this
Righteous Dao Village. Don’t wake up late tomorrow morning.”
As he spoke, he found an old woman and asked her to bring the Shu family to the house at the foot of the mountain to rest.
The Shu family members were anxious as they followed the old woman on the uneven road to their future residence.
Master Lan stood where he was and watched as their backs gradually disappeared into the distance. He could not help but rub his chin.
Soon, another bailiff came out of the manor. Seeing that he had been standing there, he couldn’t help but feel strange. He patted his shoulder and asked,” What are you looking at?”
“Just now, a group of female prisoners came from the Dongan Province. One of them is quite good-looking.” Master Lan had been in the Righteous Dao Village for so long and had sloppily seen many prisoners. He had long practiced a pair of fiery golden eyes.
Even if Shu Yu tried her best to hide herself, even if she covered half of her face with her hair, he could still see that she was the best-looking and most surprising one among all the members of the Shu family.
When the bailiff heard this, he immediately understood. “You want to offer her to the Lord?”
He clicked his tongue. “Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a good-looking female prisoner.”
Even if some of them were good-looking in the past, they had almost been ruined on the road to exile.
Master Lan sighed. “That’s right. I’ve been guarding the Righteous Path Village every day. I haven’t been able to make a name for myself in the wind and the sun. 1 want to move to a better place too.”
That person smiled and said, “She’s just a female criminal. Just tie her up and send her to the Lord’s bed. She’s not worth your concern.”
“You don’t know. In the past, it didn’t matter, but now it can’t. Some time ago, a big shot was exiled to Linzhang Prefecture. I’ve asked around, and that person is going to accompany the governor to patrol the area. Who knows when he will come to our Heichang County? Lord gave an order yesterday to
let us all behave and not let anything happen.”
“Then what do you plan to do?”
Master Lan smiled. “It’s not easy to open up wasteland here. Those women have soft skin and tender flesh. How many days can they last? Even if I don’t kidnap her and send her over, she will still come to us in the future and ask us to change her to a lighter job. At that time, she will be willing.”
As the two of them talked, they looked at each other and laughed.
At this time, Shu Yu had already arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain with the Shu family.
After the old woman led them there, she didn’t care anymore and turned around to leave.
The Shu family looked at each other and could only enter by themselves.
This house was not big. It was about the same size as the courtyard that Shu Yu rented in Liufang Alley. There were a total of three rooms.
The three rooms were about the same size. Apart from that, there was a kitchen, a toilet, and a messy storeroom with all kinds of things.
The courtyard was empty. There was a large water tank on the left. It had probably not been used for a long time. It was covered in a thick layer of dust and spider webs.
The Shu family looked inside and out, and every one of their faces revealed a
disgusted expression. They were dissatisfied with this house.
Madam Hou moved closer to Shu Yu and asked in a low voice, “Third Miss, let’s…Will you live with the Shu family in the future?”
Now that there were no officers to guard them, and no handcuffs to restrain them, the Shu family had the advantage in numbers. The three of them were not their match..
