Chapter 644: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
With a loud bang, the door of the firewood shed swung open. As Shu Feng entered, he saw Aunt Xue lying on the ground. He raised his hand in surprise, motioning the others behind him to halt. "Hold on."
"Aunt Xue?" Shu Feng called out uncertainly. The person in front of him looked drastically different from when they last met. She seemed not only to have suffered greatly but also appeared to have aged several years.
Aunt Xue, covered in cold sweat, lifted her head weakly and exclaimed, "Young... young master, second young master, you've come. It's really good, so good..."
Shu Feng paused for a moment, then approached and helped her up. "What happened to you?"
Overwhelmed with sorrow, Aunt Xue couldn't contain her tears when she thought about the hardships she had endured in these past few days. She was relieved that the male members of the Shu family had finally arrived, providing some support.
The others remained silent, observing the scene.
Shu Feng furrowed his brow. "Aunt Xue, take your time and tell us slowly. Stop crying for now. Let me ask you, how is Grandmother? Is my mother and the others alright?"
"Grandmother... the old madam passed away on the way to exile," Aunt Xue replied.
"What?" The second master immediately stepped forward but quickly realized that given his mother's age, it wasn't entirely surprising.
In fact, they had already mentally prepared themselves for this outcome.
Aunt Xue proceeded to recount everything that had happened during their journey.
The second master seemed dazed. His daughters, apart from the fourth Miss, were gone. Even the seventh Miss and the concubine, Madam He, were no longer alive. Lady Hou and the sixth Miss had developed a close relationship with the adopted daughter who was supposed to be dead.
Shu Feng, on the other hand, felt a sense of relief. His mother was still alive, and his biological sister was safe as well.
Although his second sister was gone, he had always maintained an average relationship with her. Especially when he learned that she had gained their father's trust and attention, to the point where their father had entrusted the painting he had brought back from the black market to her care, Shu Feng became wary of his second sister.
Aunt Xue continued to vent her grievances, accusing Shu Yu, Lady Hou, and the others of their malicious actions. "Shu Yu, that despicable girl, is very pleased with herself now. After finding her biological parents and relying on them, she no longer regards the Shu family as anything. She beat us all the last time she saw us. Second master, young master, we were all hoping for your arrival to help us. You have no idea how much suffering and injustice Lady Hou and the others have inflicted upon us in front of that wretched girl."
She spoke while crying, but the men who used to sympathize with her were no longer present. Except for the second master, the others were all younger generation members.
Initially, they were indignant, as being trampled upon by a girl they once looked down upon naturally made them unwilling.
However, as Aunt Xue's endless accusations continued, they grew impatient.
Shu Quan furrowed his brow and said, "Enough, we've heard you. Once we've rested, we will naturally hold them accountable. Aunt Xue, is there any food in the house? We've been on the road and are exhausted."
Aunt Xue's voice abruptly stopped. Seeing their weary faces, she immediately halted her complaints and hurriedly said, "I... I don't know if there's any food. The madams don't receive much food after finishing their daily work, so there might not be much left. However, Hou's room should have some. Yes, that little brat Shu Yu occasionally provides for her, so there must be some good stuff there."
