The shortest man was the first to rush over and reach out to lift Shu Yu’s face.
“Ah…” Shu Yu immediately screamed. She raised her hands which were tied up to cover her head. She squatted down and shouted in fear, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. I, I’ve told you everything I know. Don’t kill me. I’m not a daughter of the Shu family. I don’t know anything.”
The short man’s hand did not touch Shu Yu. Seeing her trembling in fear, he pursed his lips.
Lord Jing and another person also walked forward. The three of them just stood there, looking down at Shu Yu, who was trembling and trying her best to shrink into a ball.
After a while, the three of them looked at each other. The short man on the left laughed. “You don’t know anything? But why did I hear that when you were pushed into the lake by the Shu family, you said a lot of private things about the Shu family in front of them?”
Shu Yu trembled and raised her head as she cried. “I heard those things by accident. I just wanted to scare them so that they wouldn’t kill me. But, they were ruthless and still attacked me. If it wasn’t for Old Madam Liu who tied me up, she was moved by compassion and didn’t tie me up tightly, allowing me to break free midway, I wouldn’t have lived until now.”
Shu Yu knew that Old Madam Liu was already dead. Who knew if he had any compassion? In any case, there was no way to be sure.
The short man narrowed his eyes. “I accidentally heard about it. Who did I hear it from?”
Shu Yu stammered.
The man on the right shouted angrily, “Hurry up and say it!”
“Ah… I’ll talk, I’ll talk, it’s the servants of Marquis Ding Yuan’s family. A few days before the incident, I went to the Dongqing Temple and bumped into the servants of the Marquis Ding Yuan’s family. They said they said that my elder sister…The Shu family’s Eldest Miss was pestering the Marquis Ding Yuan’s son and even wanted to harm the wife of the prince, so she found someone to investigate the Shu family’s matters and wanted to use these matters to make the Shu family retreat.”
Marquis Ding Yuan’s son and wife were the male and female characters in the book.
The fact that the Shu family’s Eldest Young Miss was interested in Marquis Ding Yuan’s son was not a secret. It was not a secret that the prince could not stand the harassment. It was very normal for him to investigate the private matters of the Shu family and use it to make the Shu family restrain the eldest daughter of the Shu family.
The prince was secretly one of the Fifth Prince’s men, on the same side as Lord Wei Nanjing.
Using his name to cover up the lie was something they had discussed.
As soon as he said this, the adults on both sides were speechless.
When they found out about the Shu family, they did find out that someone was investigating the Shu family. Shu Yu did not lie about this.
Lord Jing rubbed his temples. “Alright, tell me where you have been these days. After leaving the Shu Residence, without a household registration pass, where can you hide?”
Shu Yu trembled as he brought out what Meng Yunzheng had said earlier.
The adults on both sides asked a few more questions, and Shu Yu answered with a face full of fear.
At this juncture, he really couldn’t ask anything.
Shu Yu was so scared that her forehead was covered in sweat. Seeing that she was about to faint, Lord Jing finally showed mercy and let her go. “We will send people to investigate what you said. It’s best if it’s true. If we find that you’re lying, don’t blame us for being rude.”
Shu Yu shook her head repeatedly. “It’s true. It’s all true. I don’t dare to lie.”
Lord Jing found another woman to search her body. After confirming that there was no problem, he waved his hand and said to the subordinate, “Alright, take her away first.”
