Chapter 503: Good Luck

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Shu family was lucky. When they woke up early in the morning, it was already raining.

This was the first rainy day they encountered after being exiled for six to seven days.

The environment was not good to begin with, and now it was even worse. Looking at the heavy rain, the Shu family was about to despair.

This was especially true for the old lady and a few young girls.

In this day and age, even a slight headache could cost one their life.

Shu Yu could not help but frown as she looked at the officers not far away.

A few of them were discussing whether they should set off or not.

The Shu family members were praying when a few officers came over and said, “The rain isn’t very heavy. We’re already slow on foot. Let’s not delay any longer. Let’s go.”

The Shu family members immediately fell into despair. Some of them could not help but cry.

Accompanied by the sound of the rain, this cry was somewhat mournful.

This was heard by a rich family who was also resting in the courtyard next to the courier station yesterday.

That rich family had a girl who was the same age as Seventh Miss. Because of the rain, she couldn’t set off and felt bored. She had nothing to do and came here to inquire.

When she heard the crying, she was shocked and ran back to tell the Lord.

The rich man didn’t want to be a busybody, but he felt that he had spoiled his daughter too much. He took this opportunity to educate her.

In the end, the little girl was not frightened. Instead, her sympathy overflowed. She heard that they still had to hurry on their way at this time. They were also wearing handcuffs and did not have rain gear. There were even elderly and children inside. Seeing them cry so miserably, her sense of justice exploded.

Especially when these people didn’t do anything wrong. They were just implicated by their families. That was even more pitiful.

Fortunately, she did not cause too much trouble and did not go to the door herself. Instead, she asked her parents to discuss it with the official and give them some umbrellas.

Although the rich man was not happy, when he heard that these were the relatives of the officials, he thought that if they rose in the future, they might remember today’s good deeds.

It was just a few umbrellas.

He went to talk to the official, and the latter agreed after a moment of hesitation.

They didn’t need to pay anyway, and they didn’t want the Shu family to get sick on the road. It was fine if he died of illness, but if they was half-dead, it would drag down the journey.

Therefore, everyone in the Shu family, including Shu Yu, received an umbrella.

There were quite a few people from the wealthy family, and they had many umbrellas.

The Shu family heaved a sigh of relief. Although the rain was too heavy and they would get wet if they held an umbrella, it was better than nothing.

When Shu Yu went out, the leading officer handed her a straw raincoat. “If anything happens to you, we won’t have anywhere to dig for silver even if we go back to the Dongan Province.”

Shu Yu took it gratefully. Under the envious gazes of the Shu family, she carefully put it on and went out.

The rain lasted for most of the day, and it only stopped afternoon. It finally stopped at the next relay station.

In the evening, Meng Yunzheng came over to bring a pair of shoes for Shu Yu.

Shu Yu’s body was fine, but there was nothing she could do about her feet. They were soaked until they were about to wrinkle.

The shoes Meng Yunzheng gave her were the same as the ones she had worn before. He had even specially cleaned them up, making them look dirty.

He also brought medicine for Shu Yu. “This is from Zhao Xi. You’ll be fine after eating it. It shouldn’t rain tomorrow, don’t worry.”

Shu Yu nodded.

The next day, the weather cleared up, and Meng Yunzheng, who was staying in the inn in town, heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them left the town in a carriage. The road was muddy after the rain, and the two of them walked slowly. Soon, a mule carriage caught up with them.
