The leading officer came over.” How is it?”

“We can only take it back ourselves.” Fortunately, the mules and carts they had bought were not far ahead.

The two of them carried the bamboo cage and left.

As soon as they left, the old couple who had already left poked their heads out again.

The old man’s originally bent back slowly straightened a little. He let out a breath. “It’s alright. We’re finally in time. Let’s go back to the inn. Mother and the others are still waiting.”

These two people were Lu Erbai and Madam Ruan, who had been disguised by Daya.

After noon, the Lu family found out that Shu Yu had already started to act crazy, so they quickly took a shortcut to the county town.

Meng Yunzheng and the others continued to follow behind the exiled team.

Lu Erbai was a carpenter, so it was very easy for him to make a bamboo cage.

He specially chose the best bamboo and the whole family worked together. They were very fast and finished it at five o’clock.

Lu Erbai ground the bamboos one by one to ensure that there were no barbs on them.

Moreover, this thing was not simply fixed by a bamboo pole. It also had a slanted and curved binding.

He even carved a pattern on the bamboo, which looked very exquisite. There was even a small roof on top, which did not look like a prison carriage at all.

As for the roof, the two officers had seen it from the beginning. It didn’t matter. After all, they weren’t going to make a real prison carriage. However, the pattern was only discovered after he carried the item back.

They discovered that not only were there patterns on the bamboo, but there was also a curtain. It was just that it had been tied to it previously, and the color was close to the bamboo. It was only because the sky was dark that they could not see it.

The officers looked at each other. If they hung some accessories and improved it, it would be no different from a carriage, right?

They wanted to sit on it too.

The leader of the officers took the remaining tael of silver and said, “Alright, we can have a good meal tomorrow with this silver.”

The officers immediately became happy. After looting Shu Yu’s silver, they finally felt at ease.

The next morning, the Shu family members came to the courtyard listlessly.

Last night, they were all huddled together and did not sleep well.

On the other hand, Shu Yu occupied a big bunk by herself. No one ground their teeth, no one talked in their sleep, no one snored, and there was no stench. She slept exceptionally soundly and was in high spirits.

The Shu family gritted their teeth and wanted to pounce on her and kill her.

However, who knew that Shu Yu was even more excited than them? When she saw them, she seemed to have thought of the past. She rushed over fiercely and looked like she was about to attack again.

“Ah…” The Shu family screamed and took two steps back in fear.

Fortunately, the officer reacted quickly this time and immediately pulled her back. Then, he pushed Shu Yu forward. “Didn’t you say you didn’t dare? I think you’re crazy. Let’s go in.”

He pushed her to the front of the prison carriage and opened the door for her to enter.

Then, he locked the door and scolded, “From today onwards, you’ll stay up here obediently.”

The Shu family members were stunned. Prison carriages? No, this did not look like a prison cart at all. Instead, it looked like a mule carriage.

The eldest daughter of the Shu family couldn’t help but ask, “She, she’s going to ride this to the southwest in the future?”

The officer raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “What’s wrong? Do you still want her to go with you? Aren’t you afraid of being strangled to death by her?”

Shu Yu cooperated and slammed her hands on the bamboo railing, glaring at the big girl with bloodshot eyes.
