The matter was very simple. The Lu family immediately understood.
However, even though they understood, they still could not understand. “Yu did not do anything wrong. Why should she be exiled? Who sentenced her? I, I’ll go beat the drum to voice my grievances.”
Xiang Weinan lowered his head. “I advise you not to complicate things, or you will only harm her.”
The Lu family was shocked and looked up at him.
Xiang Weinan naturally could not tell them that Shu Yu’s trip to the southwest had other implications. The matters in between were too complicated, and it was not something that the Lu Family should know.
Lu Erbai was silent for a moment. “Yu, did she already know that she would be exiled? She went to the prefecture on her own accord, didn’t she?”
Xiang Weinan nodded. “Yes, the court naturally can’t be hasty in handling cases. A person from the Shu family went missing for no reason. Of course, they would come looking for her. The place where the old lady of the Ruan family sold her more than ten years ago was near Jiangyuan County. Lady Lu didn’t want to expose you, and she was even more worried that it would implicate you. That’s why she appeared in the Dongan Province before they found this place and let them capture her.”
As soon as he said this, the Lu family’s defense was instantly broken. Even Daniu forcefully wiped his red eyes.
Madam Ruan knocked her heart hard. “Why is she so silly? Our Yu didn’t tell us anything. She didn’t say anything.”
“We thought she was just going on a long trip. We wanted to be happy, work hard, and eat well so that she wouldn’t have to worry about us when she was outside.”
“But she’s suffering now. We don’t know anything. She’s suffered so much. Yu…”
Madam Ruan was crying so hard that she almost fell over. Daya was also crying and did not even have the strength to help her.
The old lady lowered her head and looked at her hands. “She even left all her money behind. She even said that she had a lot of money, but she left it all to us. She didn’t even give herself a way out. She won’t be able to come back for the rest of her life.”
The Lu family members cried. They had originally held onto a glimmer of hope, but now, there was not a single trace left.
Xiang Weinan’s head hurt even more. How could someone like Lu Shuyu not leave a way out for herself? She must have a lot of money. The Lu family was worried for nothing.
Anyway, he could not empathize with them.
When the Lu family was almost done crying, Xiang Weinan said, “Actually, she’s not as miserable as you said.”
The Lu family suddenly raised their heads. Even if the person in front of them was the county magistrate they had feared in the past, he had to bear their anger now.
Xiang Weinan was so angry that he laughed. “You don’t believe me? Miss Lu is my friend after all. Do you think I’ll just watch something happen to her?”
He stood up and sneered. “She was indeed exiled, but I’ve already sent people to take care of her along the way. I can always do such a small thing. Do you think the two bodyguards are fake? Let me tell you, there are indeed two people following behind her. They will take good care of her.”
However, these two weren’t female escorts. They were more attentive to “male escorts”.
When the Lu family heard him say this, they stopped crying and looked up at him.
“Then, then Yu said that she would be back in half a year, is, is that true?”
Xiang Weinan was speechless. Who could be sure? There were always accidents.
