Chapter 2


    “Push her into it? Lotus pond?”


    Shu Yu immediately took a step to the side and frowned. “Wait, are you trying to kill me? Why?”


    Her gaze swept across the few people present, including her father and siblings, but no one stood up to speak.


    The olddy didn’t even want to look at her. It was the old woman in charge beside her who spoke up and said coldly, “Miss… Oh, no, you’re no longer the third daughter of the Shu family. You’re just a bastard from who knows where. That year, Mrs. Xue bribed a doctor to pretend to be pregnant, and on the day of birth, she bought a baby from outside to impersonate the third young daughter of the Shu family. That baby was you.”


    Shu Yu’s brows were tightly furrowed, and a rare look of surprise shed across her face.


    She couldn’t believe she wasn’t the daughter of the Shu family. However, the book did not mention this at all.


    She wondered if her arrival had caused a butterfly effect.


    Just as Shu Yu was puzzled, the old woman beside the olddy spoke again. you’ve enjoyed 14 years of a carefree life in the Shu family. Now that the matter has been exposed, it’s natural to set things right.”


    Shu Yu raised her head abruptly. “What do you mean by setting things right? You mean to push me into the lotus pond and drown me?”


    The olddy finally opened her mouth. “The Shu family can not allow such a stain like you to exist.”


    Shu Yu was speechless. She didn’t know if she should say “f *ck” in her heart.


    “So, the snake in my room just now was also your doing?”


    The eldest daughter of the Shu family snorted coldly. “Actually, you don’t feel as much pain when you’re bitten to death by a snake.”


    Shu Yu looked at the others. Everyone felt that the olddy’s decision was right. The Shu family’s reputation was more important than anything else. Moreover, she was just a bastard child. If she lost her life, no one would care.


    Shu Yu now understood why the Shu family had ended up in exile. It was likely that they would also assist the female supporting character to seek death.


    Two old women had alreadye over with two ropes to tie Shu Yu’s hands.


    Shu Yu subconsciously wanted to make a move, but on second thought, she stopped.


    Now, she couldn’t change the ending. The Shu family would be safe and sound until they were exiled three monthster, so she didn’t need to waste her effort.


    Three monthster… Then she would take revenge.


    However, she couldn’t just “die” like this.


    Shu Yu suddenlyughed. Her gaze swept across the crowd. “If you want to kill me, sure. However, before I die, can you let me say a few words?”


    “You have prepared yourst words?” The youngest daughter sneered, “I’ll give you a chance. Let’s see what you have to say.”


    Shu Yu’s hands were tied behind her back as if her usual weak appearance was gone. She only appeared bigger in size to everyone.


    Shu Yu’s gaze stopped on the person on the far left. “Mr. Shu, the mistress of Jin Taixiang is as beautiful as a flower, right? She’s also pregnant recently, and it was the first Madam who sold her, but you brought her back in the blink of an eye. It’s true love indeed.”


    Mr. Shu’s eyes widened. He immediately wanted to exin faced with First Madam’s shocked gaze.


    However, Shu Yu immediately said, “Madam, your nephew killed his second wife. You’ve been discussing with the aunt about letting my second sister marry him, who is also a concubine’s daughter, right? Not only can it solve the problem, but it can also give an exnation to the maiden family.”


    “Second Master, the money you owe the gambling den was paid by the olddy for you, right? But if you continue to gamble, you’ll have to use the money from the public.”


    “Second Madam, you drugged Mrs. Liu and caused her to have a miscarriage. It broke Second Master’s heart. It’s no wonder that he drank to drown his sorrows and went to the gambling den to gamble.”


    “Sister, you…”


    “Shut up, shut up, I told you to shut up.” The olddy clutched her walking stick tightly. Seeing the change in the expressions of the people she had mentioned, she immediately gave the two old women behind her a look. “Why aren’t you doing anything?”


    Shu Yu felt that it was a pity. “didn’t you ask me to exin myst words clearly?” When the Shu family was exiled, the things they found out were not just these. These things were all written in the books.


    “You’re talking nonsense. I’ve really underestimated you. You’re usually quiet, and even when you’re dying, you’re still trying to sow discord and destroy the harmony of my family. It’s simply abominable.” The olddy was so angry that she could no longer maintain the calmness on her face. She hit the ground in exasperation.


    The other people of the Shu family also echoed one after another. The two old women did not dare to dy any longer. They tied arge stone to Shu Yu’s ankle and pushed her into the Lotus pond in a hurry.


    The olddy only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Shu Yu’s body sink to the bottom of the pool.


    However, what she didn’t know was that when Shu Yu sank, She had already untied the rope around hER wrists. When She reached the bottom of the pool, the rope and the stones around his ankles had also been freed.


    She dove forward and stuck half her head out from under a lotus leaf.


    The people on the shore had not left yet as if they were certain that she would note up.


    The olddy instructed the two maids, “Tomorrow night, you will fish her out. Just say that she came out to enjoy the cool night and fell into the pond.”


    “Yes.” The two old women hurriedly agreed.


    The olddy then said to the Shu family’s Head Master, “Later, take care of Mrs. Xue too. Tell the public that Mrs. Xue couldn’t bear the pain of losing her daughter and died of depression.”


    The Head Master also agreed without any objections.


    However, Shu Yu remembered that Mrs. Xue did not die in the book. She was also on the list of exiles. She did not know how she had managed to survive.


    But in this way, Shu Yu understood why Mrs. Xue had been so cruel to her own daughter.


    Not only had Shu Yu suffered from hunger and fought with the dog for food, but she had also been left in the room to fend for herself with a high fever. She had knelt in the courtyard under the scorching sun and admitted her mistakes until she fainted. She had almost been beaten to death by Mrs. Xue.


    Everyone in the Shu family thought that Mrs. Xue was unhappy that Shu Yu was a girl, so she was angry and didn’t get close to her.
