Everyone was choked by her words and could not speak for a moment.
Seeing this, the woman became even more self-righteous. “If you’re not afraid, you should take the child back. Let’s see if they will capture all of you one by one and bring you to the office for interrogation. When you enter the office, you can forget about coming out clean.”
As he spoke, she looked at Shu Yu, Lu Dasong, and the others. She said gloatingly,” And you guys, be careful too. Since Yuan Shanchuan’s parents and brothers had been captured, his mother-in-law and brother-in-law might not be able to escape either. They were luckless. If someone touches them, they will be unlucky.
Daniu could feel Xiaozhen’s body stiffen in his arms. Soon after, it began to tremble.
He suddenly raised his head and said angrily, “You…”
However, Shu Yu beat him to it and questioned, “Who told you that they would be beheaded? Has the crime been decided? Did the county magistrate say it himself? You’re even more wise and arbitrary than the Lord in the county office, aren’t you? You didn’t even get any results before you poured dirty water on others.’
“I-I was…”
“You what? Did I say something wrong? To be so malicious to the two children, it seemed that you were especially capable, right?”
The aunt was furious. “Alright, alright, alright. If you have the ability, then ask the county magistrate to let them go.”
“Not as good as you. You closed the case one step ahead of the magistrate.”
Shu Yu ignored her and crouched down. She said to Xiaozhen, who had raised her head in a daze, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to see your Mother later.”
Xiaozhen!s face was still covered in tears. She didn’t know Shu Yu, but she felt that her words could make people feel at ease. The blood on her head had been wiped clean. Fortunately, the wound was not very big.
“l, can I still see my Mother? Auntie Yao said that I can only stay in the market in the future… This is the last time I’m seeing my Mother.”
As Xiaozhen spoke, tears fell again. Her eyes were filled with despair.
Shu Yu suddenly raised her head and looked at the aunt.
Auntie Yao was so frightened by her sharp gaze that she took a step back, but she still straightened her neck and said, “Yo, yo, yo, you’re talking big. You’re bringing her to see Mother in a while. she is already locked up in prison, and you still want to bring people to see her? You’re good at bluffing.”
“Can you shut up?” Shu Yu rubbed Xiaozhen’s head and stood up. “l haven’t hit anyone in a long time. If you continue to talk nonsense, I won’t be polite.”
“You…”
A woman beside her whispered to Shu Yu, “Girl, don’t be calculative with her. She just can’t bear to see your fourth aunt’s family doing well. Her man would either hit or scold her, but Yuan Laosi, who lived next door, was considerate and took care of his wife. She was not comfortable in her heart. Seeing that her fourth aunt’s family was in trouble, she was happy.”
Although she said that, she felt that what Auntie Yao said made sense.
The county magistrate had yet to convict her, but if Yuan Shanchuan had not committed a crime, he would not have come to arrest him directly, right?
Shu Yu nodded slightly. However, when she lowered her head to speak to Xiaozhen, she still gave her affirmation. ‘Of course, you can see your Mother.” Xiaozhen pursed her lips, wiped her tears, and nodded heavily.
Shu Yu then looked at the Yuan family’s courtyard door. She did not know the two officers guarding the door.
According to the villagers of Daxu Village, there were still officials searching for the house of the Yuan family. She did not know what they were looking for.
Shu Yu planned to ask around. She asked her uncle to take care of Xiaohen first before she went to the Yuan family’s house..
