Chapter 308: Can You Shut Up?

 Chapter 308: Can You Shut Up?

The crowd was momentarily speechless after the woman's words. Seeing their reaction, the woman grew even more self-righteous. "You're not afraid? Then why don't you take the children back? Let's see if they won't arrest each and every one of you and interrogate you in the yamen. Once you enter the yamen, don't even think about coming out clean." She then looked at Shu Yu, Lu Dasong, and the others with a gloating expression and said, "And you, be careful too. Since Yuan Shanchuan's parents and siblings have been taken away, his mother-in-law and brother-in-law might not escape either. These two children are like hot potatoes, and whoever takes them will be in trouble." Da Niu felt the small body in his arms suddenly stiffen, followed by trembling. He raised his head angrily and said, "You..." But Shu Yu was quick to interject, questioning, "Who told you they will be beheaded? Has the charges been decided? Did the county magistrate personally say so? You seem to be even more decisive and arbitrary than the officials in the yamen, throwing dirt on people without any evidence or verdict." "I, I..." the woman stammered. "What about you? Am I wrong in what I said? You're capable of harboring such malicious intentions towards two children. You seem quite talented," Shu Yu retorted. The woman was infuriated. "Fine, fine. If you're so capable, then ask the county magistrate to release them." "You're more capable than me. You already concluded the case before the county magistrate even had a chance," Shu Yu replied sarcastically. Ignoring the woman, Shu Yu squatted down and said to the bewildered Xiaozhen, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see your mother." Xiaozhen, with tears still streaming down her face, didn't recognize Shu Yu, but she felt reassured by her words. The blood on her forehead had been wiped clean. Fortunately, the wound wasn't too serious. "Can... Can I really see my mother? Aunt Yao said I can only see her for the last time at the market..." Xiaozhen said, her eyes filled with despair. As she spoke, tears continued to roll down her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with hopelessness. Shu Yu raised her head abruptly and looked at the woman. Startled by her sharp gaze, Aunt Yao took a step back but stubbornly said, "Oh, so confident, planning to take her to see her mother in a while. They're all locked up in the prison, and you think you can go and see? You're really good at intimidating people." "Can you shut up?" Shu Yu rubbed Xiaozhen's head and stood up. "It's been a long time since I last hit someone. If you keep blabbering, I won't be polite." "You..." the woman began. A woman nearby whispered to Shu Yu, "Don't bother with her. She just can't stand the prosperity of your Aunt Si's family. Her husband either beats or scolds her, while the fourth son of the neighbor's family, Yuan Shanchuan, is considerate and takes care of his wife. She feels uncomfortable in her heart, so she's happy when something bad happens to your Aunt Si's family." While the woman's words made sense, she also felt that Aunt Yao had a point. The county magistrate hadn't passed judgment yet, but if Yuan Shanchuan hadn't really committed a crime, they wouldn't have directly come to arrest him, right? Shu Yu nodded slightly but continued to assure Xiaozhen as she lowered her head, "Of course, you will be able to see your mother." Xiaozhen pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, and nodded heavily. Only then did Shu Yu turn her gaze to the gate of the Yuan family's courtyard. She didn't recognize the two officers guarding the gate. From what she gathered from the villagers of Daxu Village, there were officers searching the house inside the Yuan family's residence, but she didn't know what they were looking for. Shu Yu planned to go and find out. She asked her uncle to take care of Xiaozhen for the time being while she headed towards the Yuan family's house.
