Chapter 276: Pay Up

 Chapter 276: Pay Up

The man squeezed his way into the crowd, furrowing his brow and shouting, "Make way, make way." Shu Yu heard the voice and turned her head, then without a word, she dropped the bamboo pole in her hand and innocently faced him. The followers of the young masters thought they had found an opportunity and quickly rushed over. Little did they know that Shu Yu took a few steps back and immediately hid behind the man. She put on a face of innocence and said, "Honorable official, they want to harm me, help me!" The followers were about to reach them but abruptly stopped upon hearing Shu Yu's words. Honorable official??? They quickly halted their steps, but it was too late. The first person's fist directly aimed for Hu Li's face. Hu Li widened his eyes. "You have quite the audacity to dare to attack an honorable official?" He grabbed hold of the person's hand and forcefully pulled, causing the follower to fall to the ground with a loud thud. Looking down at him from a position of superiority, Hu Li turned his head and glanced at the others. "So, you want to cause trouble?" The previously arrogant three young masters looked somewhat panicked. One of them whispered, "How did we attract the attention of an honorable official? If we make a big fuss out of this, we won't have any freedom left in Jiangyuan County. Next time, my father won't let me leave the house." "What should we do?" "Minimize the issue, brush it off for now, and settle the score later." "Are we just going to let that wretched woman off the hook for pushing us into the water? I'm not willing to let her get away with it." "Or would you like to make a trip to the government office?" "Fine, let's say it was just a prank. We can settle the score later." After the three quietly discussed, they saw that Hu Li had already approached them. He stared at them and asked, "Which noble family do you belong to? I heard you wanted to kill someone? You pushed someone into the water and wouldn't let them come up. You have quite the audacity, trying to take someone's life right under my nose." "Honorable official, this is a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding." "A misunderstanding? Almost causing someone's death, and you call it a misunderstanding?" Hu Li's eyes narrowed, and he asked with a menacing expression. The three young masters hurriedly smiled and said, "We were just joking around. That elder brother claimed to be a great swimmer and wanted to show off to us. We didn't believe him, so we..." Before they could finish their sentence, they noticed Lu Sanzhu, who had changed his clothes, approaching. The person involved was present, so they hesitated to continue their explanation, feeling somewhat awkward. But it didn't matter. The three quickly added, "Don't worry, honorable sir. We had an agreement. He was going to give us a performance, and we were going to compensate him for his trouble." Compensation? Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up. Was that the meaning he understood? That they were going to give him money? He turned his head to look at Shu Yu, as if urging her to agree quickly. Shu Yu, "...Where is your dignity?" Oh, sorry, I forgot you never had any. However, upon seeing Lu Sanzhu's reaction, the three young masters felt relieved. They knew these people were just country bumpkins who could easily be appeased as long as money was involved. Shu Yu remained silent, but Hu Li followed their lead and turned to ask her, "Is that right? Is that what happened?" As he spoke, he winked at Shu Yu, signaling her to accept the situation. After all, Shu Yu had already pushed all of them into the water. If they were to pursue the matter, the other party had already faced consequences. It would be difficult for Shu Yu to save face. Shu Yu understood this in her heart, so she looked at Lu Sanzhu with a displeased expression and asked, "Is that what they said?" "Um... yes?" Lu Sanzhu replied, uncertain. Shu Yu's lips twitched, but then she suddenly burst into laughter when she turned around. "Well then, I wonder how this payment should be calculated?"
