Shen Ning said he would send Shen Yu away, and naturally he did what he said.

Of course Shen Yu refused to leave. The Shen family's hometown was in Xuyang, Longchuan, which was not a very prosperous city. Moreover, the Shen family's old house was in a mountain village. He couldn't stand such a life just thinking about it.

He begged and admitted his mistake, saying that he would definitely change. He hoped that his sister would give him a chance and that he would be obedient and motivated in the future.

But Shen Ning was more cold and ruthless than ever before, and no one in the Shen family spoke up for him.

After everything was packed up, Shen Yu was put on the carriage and left with his two servants following the team prepared by Shen Ning.

Shen Ning naturally would not let anyone know that he was ruthless to Shen Yu. He only said that he would send him back to avoid disaster and it would be a good opportunity for him to study hard in his hometown.

Shen Yu's injuries were not serious, but they were not completely healed, and the bumpy ride of the carriage made him even more painful.

The further he got away from the capital, the more resentful he became towards Shen Ning.

He was cheated when he went to gamble, and was later forced to be a hostage. If he didn't do it, those people would chop off his hands. He had no choice.

Obviously, everything in the Shen family belongs to him, so it is natural for him to deal with it however he wants. Now he is just using it to buy his life, isn't that even more reasonable?

Besides, doesn’t he know he was wrong? He said he would change for the better in the future. Can’t she forgive him just once?

She drove him away and wanted to monopolize the Shen family's property. What right did she have?

What’s hateful is that she even sent people to monitor him, making it impossible for him to go find his second sister.

The second sister is the most gentle and kindhearted. She would definitely not want him to go back to his hometown to suffer.

The more Shen Yu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would not sit still and wait for death. After returning to his hometown, he would get rid of these people as soon as possible and find a way to come back.

When the time comes, he will go to his second sister and ask her and her husband to help him seek justice.

However, he felt indignant in his heart, and the pain in his body made him feel a sense of crisis. Although he resented his elder sister, he now wanted to leave to avoid trouble, as he was also afraid that the bandits would really come back again.

As for what Shen Ning would face after he left, he had never thought about it.

In his perception, his eldest sister takes care of him, protects him, and loves him. Whatever she does for him is what she should and is normal. The rest has nothing to do with him.

On the third day, the team passed by a turbulent river beach. They stopped to rest and let the horses eat grass and drink water.

Shen Yu walked to a protruding rock and sat down. He was admiring the scenery when he suddenly heard a loud shout.

"What are you doing?"

He quickly looked back and saw several knife-wielding bandits appearing out of nowhere and walking towards their carriage, intending to rob them.

None of his followers knew martial arts, and none of them dared to move forward. They were forced to retreat step by step by the robbers, and could only watch helplessly as the robbers took the carriage away.

When the robber was leaving, he looked at him. The murderous look in his eyes scared him and he subconsciously took a step back. As a result, he slipped and fell directly into the river.

The last thing he remembered was a dull pain in his back, river water pouring into his mouth, and then he passed out.

When Shen Yu woke up again, he felt that the world was shaking and there was a strange smell all around him.

"Hey, wake up."

A bearded face came up to him and asked with a smile, "Little brother, how do you feel? Do you want some water?"

Shen Yu's body was stiff, his back was aching, his lips were so dry that they bled. He opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse, tearing voice: "Water."

Just now the bearded man fed him some water, and someone pushed the door open and said, "Young Boss, he's awake."

Soon a tall young man walked in, looked him over, and nodded: "It's ok as long as you wake up."

"Uncle San, get him something to eat, and Master Hu, get him some medicine."

The two men were ordered to leave immediately, leaving only Shen Yu and the young gang leader in the room.

Shen Yu saw clearly that this was a narrow little room with four beds in total, and the thing that was swaying must be on a boat. He fell into the water at that time and must have been rescued by them.

"Thank you, brother, for saving me."

Zhu Feng: "No need to thank me, it's just a simple thing."

Shen Yu: "Where is this?"

Zhu Feng: "This is the Huangsha River, we are about to reach Dongyue."

"Dongyue?" Shen Yu's eyes widened in fear. This was along the border, a barbarian land, thousands of miles away from the capital.

"How is that possible? I was just about to arrive in Yuzhou."

Zhu Feng: "You have been unconscious for eight days. After we fished you out, you never woke up. Later, you had a high fever. Later, when we were resupplying on the coast, we found a folk remedy and gave it to you to take. Only then did the fever go down."

Shen Yu didn't expect that he had experienced so much just because he fell asleep once.

"I...have caused trouble for you, brother. I wonder what you are doing in Dongyue?"

Zhu Feng: "My home is in Dongyue. I came out to deliver goods and am on my way back now."

On the way back, they would not go towards the capital. Shen Yu was panicked because he did not want to go to the wild border area.

"Big brother, I am the young master of the Shen family in Beijing. Could you please send me back? I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Zhu Feng's eyes were complicated, and then he shook his head decisively: "We've been away for three months. We have to go home. We don't have enough people to go to Beijing in such a short time."

Shen Yu begged: "Brother, please help me think of a solution. As long as you can send me back, I will give you any amount of money."

Zhu Feng shook his head and stood up: "It's not a matter of money, but the brothers on the ship are homesick. There were many bandits along the way, and many brothers were injured. They need to go back and recuperate for a while."

Bearded Zhu Laosan came in carrying food.

"Young Boss, go and do your work. I'll take care of this kid."

Zhu Feng stood up and patted Zhu Laosan on the shoulder. The two men's eyes met briefly, and then they passed each other as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Feng went to the next room and could still hear Zhu Laosan's cheerful voice: "Little brother, let me tell you, our Dongyue is very interesting. Have you ever eaten abalone? Expensive, right? Hey, you can pick it up easily on the reef after the tide goes out. And the sea cucumbers and oysters that your nobles love the most, the ones you see are all dead and dried. Have you ever seen live ones?"

Don't be fooled by Zhu Laosan's burly appearance. He has a cheerful personality and is very good at guiding people. With his tricks, the young master will surely be tempted and then... fall into a trap.

Zhu Feng was amused by his own idea. He opened the box next to him and found a box of gold with a note attached. It was unsigned, but the gold was given to him by Shen Ning, asking him to pick up someone on the way.

The note contained a request, clear and concise: live and support yourself.

Somehow this young master offended his sister, so he was exiled.

The gold given was only the reward for rescuing the man, and it did not include Shen Yu's living expenses. When the young master was deceived by Zhu Laosan to Dongyue, he was unfamiliar with the place and had to find a way to make a living. Tsk tsk, how miserable.
