Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Writing a Letter Ho Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Writing a Letter Ho Shu Yu shook his head, “Not for now, our conflicts are not intense. She still has her husband and children, obviously she does not want to die. If she makes a move against us, there will be endless troubles.”
Even if Shu Yu already had relatives, let alone Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady, they were lucky to et Lord Qi, who was also exiled to the southwest, during their journey.
If sothing happened to Madam Hou, Shu Yu would not ignore it, and if it reached Lord Qi, Second Madam would not be able to protect herself.
She was so decisive in dealing with Second Young Lady because, as it stands, Second Young Lady had no backing and not even anyone who cared about her. Her life and death truly didn’t matter to anyone.
However…
Shu Yu instructed Madam Hou, “You still need to be cautious. Second Madam is prudent and won’t easily make a move, but you can’t be sure about others. Make sure your food is secured and not handled by others. If you feel unwell, co find . Anyway, these days won’t last much longer.”
Madam Hou nodded and tightly held Sixth Young Lady’s hand.
They hadn’t expected to face such circumstances even after leaving the influential Shu family.
After finishing speaking, Shu Yu left, glancing towards the Shu family as she exited the door.
Second Madam was the sa as usual, showing no peculiar behavior.
Shu Yu left thoughtfully, and upon returning ho, the old lady handed her a bundle.
“This is what you asked Young Master ng to look after for you. After he arrived in Heichang County, he gave it to us.”
Shu Yu opened the bundle, which contained her clothes, silver notes, makeup utensils she used before, and… sunflower seeds.
Viewing these items, Shu Yu felt a stir of emotions.
She took out the packet of sunflower seeds and said to the old lady, “Grandmother, keep a plot of land in the garden for —I want to try planting so things.”
“Sure,” the old lady ca over and looked at the sunflower seeds in her hand. “What is this? Vegetables?”
“No, it’s a flower,” Shu Yu said mysteriously, “This flower, when it blooms, is this big. Not only is it decorative, but the seeds can be roasted for eating. You can also press oil from them.”
The old lady’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Press oil? That’s a good thing then. In that case, I won’t plant anything else in the garden but these.”
Shu Yu chuckled, “Grandmother, though planting sunflowers is simple, I have never done it before, and I don’t know if it will be successful. So let’s start with a few plants to test. If it goes well, then we can plant more massively. This garden certainly won’t be enough.”
“That makes sense,” the old lady said, reluctantly abandoning the idea of filling the garden with sunflowers.
Speaking of that, Shu Yu thought of Daniu.
“Before I left, I gave Brother Daniu so seeds to try planting, but I don’t know if it was successful,” Shu Yu said and suddenly asked the old lady, “Grandmother, we have been in the southwest for a while now. Have you written ho to let them know we are safe?”
The old lady…, “Report our safety?”
Faced with Shu Yu’s earnest inquiry, the old lady choked up and murmured in a low voice, “No one at ho can read…” but then rembered Dabao had started learning to read.
She began rolling up her sleeves, “Co on, let’s write a letter now. Let them know we are all safe and have settled down, so they won’t worry.”
The old lady called out to Dahu, “Dahu, Dahu, bring out your writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. We are writing a letter.”
