Chapter 385: Looking Like Fools
Chapter 385: Looking Like Fools
Old man Yuan hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "It's possible that the official directly gave him poison. Since his time is running out, they might as well give him a dignified death and let him return home to wait for it." "Nonsense," Village Head Chen sneered, "Do you think the imperial laws are a joke?" "Then tell me, how is it that he was fine yesterday but now he's about to die? And why is he the only one still staying in the county yamen while the rest of us have returned?" Old man Yuan argued. Village Head Chen couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. He pursed his lips and said with a serious face, "Since Shanchuan has returned, let's go directly to his house and ask him." The villagers nodded in agreement, "Yes, let's go to Shanchuan's house and see." Village Head Chen led the way, and the Yuan family members exchanged glances before following. The other villagers also joined in, forming a procession as they walked towards the Yuan Shanchuan family's house. Although Yuan Shanchuan had spit out stagnant blood, his complexion was still very pale. Lu Sixing and Da Niu helped him into the house to rest. The yard had been under guard by yamen officers before, but since the Yuan family's elder couple had returned, the officers had naturally left. However, the house had been searched repeatedly and was in a bit of a mess. Shu Yu helped tidy up the rooms and had Yuan Shanchuan lie down to rest. Just as they finished tidying up, Village Head Chen arrived with a group of people. Shu Yu happened to be in the yard and raised her head at the sound, squinting her eyes slightly. Village Head Chen recognized her as they had met before. He stepped forward a few steps and said, "Miss Lu, you've all returned? Is Shanchuan alright?" The people who came along also looked at her, especially the Yuan family members who stood beside Village Head Chen, craning their necks to peer into the house. Shu Yu couldn't help but smile, "Of course, he's fine. Fourth Uncle is doing well now." "Didn't you say he was spitting blood?" Old man Yuan immediately spoke, "Has he been sentenced? Did the official give him poison to let him return and wait for death?" Shu Yu looked at him, her expression as if she were looking at a fool. "Have you watched too many dramas? If someone is sentenced, would they be allowed to return home to wait for death?" The commotion reached the ears of the people inside the house. Yuan Shanchuan couldn't get out of bed, but Lu Sixing patted him reassuringly and asked Xiao Zhen to watch over him. Then Lu Sixing and Da Niu went out together. As soon as they stepped out, they heard the Yuan family members questioning, "Then why did he spit blood? He was fine yesterday. And why was he left in the county yamen? Isn't it for interrogation?" Shu Yu was speechless. They had only returned to Daxu Village a day ago, and yet the Yuan family members had already created an elaborate drama in their minds. Couldn't they come up with a better story? "Do you forget how you treated Fourth Uncle when you saw him yesterday? You surrounded him and beat him mercilessly. Even the strongest person would be affected by your beatings. He was left in the county yamen yesterday not for interrogation, but because you beat him unconscious." Shu Yu sneered, "Speaking of which, I don't understand. Are you really his family? Even if you harbor resentment and grievances towards him, shouldn't you clarify the situation before taking action? Without asking anything, you treated him like an enemy and beat him until he fainted. My Fourth Uncle still cared about all of you. He came back to the village as soon as he felt a little better today, hoping to explain everything clearly. But as soon as he arrived, he heard that you wanted to sever ties with him. This angered and upset him, so it's not surprising that he spat blood." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
