The shortest person among them rushed forward and reached out to lift Shu Yu's face.
"Ah..." Shu Yu immediately let out a scream, her hands bound by the rope lifted to cover her head. She crouched down in fear and shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I've already said everything I know. I'm not the daughter of the Shu family, I don't know anything."
The shortest person's hand didn't touch Shu Yu. Seeing her trembling in fear, he sneered.
Master Jing and the other person also approached, and the three of them stood there, looking down at the trembling and curled-up Shu Yu.
After a while, the three of them exchanged glances. The shortest person on the left smiled and said, "You don't know anything? But how did I hear that when you were pushed into the lake by the Shu family, you revealed some of the Shu family's secrets in front of them?"
Shu Yu trembled and raised her head, crying, "Those were things I accidentally overheard. I just wanted to scare them, so they wouldn't kill me. But they were ruthless and still came after me. If it wasn't for Aunt Liu, the one who tied me up, showing some mercy and not tying me too tightly, I wouldn't have survived until now."
Shu Yu knew that Aunt Liu was already dead, whether she had shown mercy or not, who knew? In any case, there was no evidence, and it couldn't be determined.
The shortest person narrowed his eyes and asked, "Accidentally overheard? Heard from whom?"
Shu Yu hesitated and stuttered.
The person on the right angrily shouted, "Speak up!"
"Wuwu, I'll say it, I'll say it. It was a servant from the Dingyuan Marquis's residence. A few days before the incident, I went to Dongqing Temple and happened to overhear the Dingyuan Marquis's servant talking. They said... they said my eldest sister... the Shu family's Miss, was entangling the Dingyuan Marquis's heir and even wanted to harm the heir's wife. So they hired someone to investigate the Shu family's affairs, hoping to use that to force the Shu family to back off."
The heir of the Dingyuan Marquis and his wife were the male and female leads in the book.
The fact that Shu Yu, the daughter of the Shu family, was interested in the Dingyuan Marquis's heir was not a secret. It was also not a secret that the heir couldn't stand her and wanted to investigate the Shu family's secrets to use them as leverage against her. It was all part of their plan.
Once this was said, the two officials on the left and right couldn't speak.
When they investigated the Shu family, they did indeed find someone investigating the Shu family's affairs. Shu Yu didn't lie about that.
Master Jing rubbed his temples and said, "Enough, tell us where you've been all these days. After leaving the Shu residence without any identification or references, where could you have hidden?"
Shu Yu trembled and nervously recounted the story Meng Yunzheng had told her earlier.
The officials on the left and right asked a few more questions, and Shu Yu answered with a frightened expression.
At this critical moment, they couldn't extract any more information.
Shu Yu's forehead was covered in sweat from fear. Looking like she was about to faint, Master Jing finally took pity on her and said, "We will send someone to investigate what you said. If it turns out to be true, that would be best. But if we find any signs of you lying, don't blame us for being merciless."
Shu Yu shook her head repeatedly and said, "It's true, it's all true. I wouldn't dare to lie."
Master Jing called over a woman to search Shu Yu, and once it was confirmed that there were no issues, he waved his hand and said to his subordinates, "Alright, take her away for now."
