Shu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up and hid in a corner while no one was paying attention. She also picked up the string of beads that Meng Yunzheng had thrown earlier.
More and more people were gathering around, including the people at the post station and the officials escorting them.
The Shu family members did not come out. They heard the sounds of fighting outside but were too afraid to leave the house, so they could only peek outside through the windows.
The Sixth Miss in another room was also awakened and got up. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she realized that there was no one else in the room except for her. She had a hunch that the commotion outside might be related to Hou Shi, so she quickly propped up her weak body and came out.
The fighting in the courtyard became more and more intense, and Shu Yu stepped back and happened to bump into the Sixth Miss who was looking for someone.
The Sixth Miss hurriedly grabbed her and asked anxiously, "Third Sister, have you seen my mother? There's no one in the room."
Shu Yu hesitated and didn't say anything. She didn't know Hou Shi's condition for sure, only that she had collapsed on the ground unconscious.
However, since that man wanted to disguise her death as a suicide, he probably wouldn't kill her before staging the hanging, right? Hou Shi was most likely just knocked out.
Thinking of this, Shu Yu pointed to the opposite room and said, "Your mother is in there."
However, at this moment, there was a fierce fight going on in the middle of the courtyard, and they couldn't go over there. Otherwise, they might easily get hurt by mistake.
The Sixth Miss became anxious and wanted to run through them to find Hou Shi.
Shu Yu held her back. "Wait a little longer. They'll be done soon."
Although the man in black had some skills, he was struggling against the two people in front of him, who were clearly also experts. However, they obviously wanted to capture him alive, so they were somewhat restrained in their attacks.
But the man in black was clearly at a disadvantage in the current situation.
At this time, the officials not far away also ran over and asked, "What's going on? Who are those people? Why are they fighting?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "I don't know either. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found that Aunt Hou was not in the room, and I happened to hear her calling for help from the other room, so I went to take a look."
As she spoke, Shu Yu discreetly glanced at the official who had met with Hou Shi.
The official visibly paused for a moment and looked away uncomfortably.
But soon, he frowned again. He had clearly separated from Hou Shi quickly and returned to his room. How did Hou Shi end up in that room again?
Shu Yu continued speaking, her voice trembling with a hint of fear. "Then I saw Aunt Hou in the room, unconscious on the ground. That man in black was holding a rope, as if he wanted to strangle her. I was scared and thought of finding help quickly, but my handcuffs accidentally made a noise and he heard it. The man let go of Aunt Hou and came to kill me. Fortunately, I tripped and managed to dodge him. Then I saw those two people come out and engage in a fight with the man."
The official frowned as he listened, while the Sixth Miss's face turned pale. "Then what about my mother? Is she alright?"
"I think she should be fine,"
Shu Yu replied.
As they spoke, the man in black was finally subdued by the other two and was knocked unconscious when he attempted to commit suicide. They removed the chin strap and tied him up.
The official took a few quick steps forward and began talking to them.
Shu Yu, along with the Sixth Miss and the remaining two officials, hurriedly crossed the courtyard and headed straight for the room where Hou Shi was, to check on her condition.
