 Chapter 309: The Matter with the Yuan Family is Not Small

Yao Shen snorted disdainfully from behind, "She really thinks highly of herself, believing that those officials can be easily dealt with? She won't even know how she'll be thrown out later." The officials guarding the gate were indeed not easy to talk to. They stood expressionless, and none of the onlookers from the village dared to approach them. When Shu Yu approached, the three sister-in-laws of the Yuan family glared fiercely at her. Shu Yu paid no attention and walked up to the two officials. The two officials frowned and were about to drive her away on the spot. But before they could speak, Shu Yu asked, "Gentlemen, I don't know if Hu Li is here?" It was Hu Li who had asked her to come back to the village yesterday, but she didn't know if he was among the people from the Yuan family. The two officials exchanged a glance. Hu Li was considered an important confidant of the high-ranking official. This girl actually knew him? The expressions of the two officials softened slightly, and one of them shook his head. "He's not here. But there is someone else." Wang Hong just came out of the house and walked to the courtyard when he looked outside and immediately ran out upon seeing Shu Yu. "Miss Lu?" As soon as he came out and spoke, both officials, as well as the other villagers of Daxu Village, were stunned. The voices outside the Yuan family's door instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at Shu Yu. Shu Yu saw Wang Hong and felt a sense of relief. When her family's shop opened, the two officials who replaced Xiang Weinan to deliver gifts were Hu Li and the one in front of her, Wang Hong. She had seen Hu Li more often, but she had only met Wang Hong once. "Brother Wang," Shu Yu took a step forward, "It's great that you're here. I want to ask about my fourth aunt's situation." Wang Hong raised an eyebrow. Indeed, what Hu Li said was true. This girl from the Lu family was not an ordinary ignorant little girl. She understood social etiquette very well. This was calling him "brother." Wang Hong glanced at the villagers outside the gate, saw that they were all listening intently, and furrowed his brow, waving his hand. "Why are you all standing here? Disperse, disperse. Stop crying and making a fuss. If it continues to affect our work, I'll bring all of you in." Everyone fell silent instantly and dared not speak, especially the three sister-in-laws of the Yuan family who had been crying and making a scene earlier. They instinctively shrank back and took two steps back. Only then did Wang Hong say to Shu Yu, "Miss Lu, let's talk over there." Shu Yu nodded and followed Wang Hong to a corner outside, where they spoke in low voices. "When I set off in the morning, Hu Li told me that Miss Lu might come here to inquire about Yuan Shanchuan's matter. So the other colleagues took people back to the yamen, and I stayed here. I didn't expect you to really come," Wang Hong said. Shu Yu didn't expect this twist either. "Thank you." "Well, we can't really help you with anything," Wang Hong said. After all, they had reminded her about taking the two bottles of wine, and within the confines of their principles, they would help if they could. "Miss Lu, I won't hide it from you. The matter with the Yuan family is not small. Yuan Shanchuan is involved in a case related to the former county magistrate. I can't say how serious it will be," Wang Hong said. Shu Yu's heart skipped a beat. How did Yuan Shanchuan get involved in the case of the former county magistrate? "What about my aunt?" "You can rest assured about that. If the Yuan family really had nothing to do with Yuan Shanchuan's case, their lives can be spared." Implying that their lives can be spared, but there were no guarantees for anything else. After all, in this era, it was quite common for one person's crime to implicate their family members.
