After Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi left, the old lady and the others surrounded Lu Erbai and questioned him.
Knowing that Shu Yu was indeed doing well, everyone was relieved. Thinking that they had to get up early tomorrow, they did not delay and returned to their rooms to sleep.
On the second day, the three carriages set off again. They walked slowly and followed behind the exile team.
The Lu family, who had been spurring their horses two days ago, could finally rest well and recharge their batteries.
Occasionally, they would discuss what arrangements they would make once they arrived in the southwest. Previously, they did not know much about the southwest and had only inquired about the general situation from Lord Xiang. With this, their plans were not very comprehensive.
But now there was Meng Yunzheng. Although he had never been to the Southwest, he was well-informed, well-read, and had traveled to many places. Especially when he learned that the master of the Dongqing Temple had gone to the southwest and that Shu Yu would be exiled to the southwest, he had made the plan in advance.
Therefore, after the Lu family heard what he said, they had a more intuitive understanding of the Southwest.
At noon, their convoy stopped and prepared to eat.
The exiles in front also began to rest and eat. Shu Yu had met Lu Erbai last night and was in a good mood until Mrs. Xue came to sit beside her again.
Shu Yu slowed down her eating and glanced at her coldly.
Mrs. Xue waited for a moment. Seeing that the leader of the officers did not say anything and did not scold her or chase her away, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she said to Shu Yu, “Yu ‘er, are you still blaming Mother?”
Shu Yu took a bite of the rice ball in her hand. “What mother? My mother is not you.”
Aunt Xue pursed her lips and looked sad. “It’s only right that you don’t acknowledge me. Mother has never treated you well all these years. But Mother didn’t want to. You don’t know that when your family was poor, your biological parents saw that you were a girl and wanted to drown you. I couldn’t bear to see you. You were so small and soft, so cute and obedient. At that time, my child had just died when she was born. I thought that since we were pitiful people, we should take care of each other, so I carried you back to the Shu family.”
