As they entered the room, the Sixth Miss almost fell to the ground at the sight of Hou Shi lying unconscious on the floor, with a hemp rope around her neck. She showed no signs of reaction, and tears immediately welled up in the Sixth Miss's eyes.
Shu Yu took a few steps forward and reached out to touch Hou Shi's neck before letting out a sigh of relief.
"She's fine, she's still alive, just knocked unconscious," Shu Yu said.
The two officials stepped forward and pinched her Hegu acupoint to wake her up.
Hou Shi still seemed dazed and instinctively touched the back of her neck, wincing in pain.
The Sixth Miss hurried over and embraced her, saying, "Mother, you're fine now, you're fine."
She had been terrified a moment ago.
Hou Shi blinked, finally coming to her senses. Then, as if she remembered something, her face turned pale, and she quickly reached out to embrace the Sixth Miss, breathing heavily.
After she regained her composure, she looked up and saw Shu Yu and the two officials standing by.
Seeing that she was fine, one of the officials asked, "Hou Shi, what exactly happened just now? Who was that person? Why did they want to kill you?"
Hou Shi opened her mouth to speak, and at that moment, several people walked in from outside.
At the forefront were the leading official and one of the experts who had just fought with the man in black.
The other person seemed to have taken the man in black away with him.
Shu Yu instinctively stepped back, and the leading official asked her and Hou Shi to explain the sequence of events.
Hou Shi had regained her senses and immediately spoke up, "I, I got up in the middle of the night to use the outhouse. When I was coming back, just as I turned around the corner outside, I saw that man in black flipping down from the wall, and we bumped into each other head-on. I knew he was up to no good, so I shouted for help, but he knocked me unconscious."
As she spoke, Hou Shi glanced at the official beside her.
She did have a private meeting with that official, and after that, she had indeed gone to the outhouse.
Little did she know that she would run into the intruder who had climbed over the wall when she came out of the outhouse. She was truly unlucky.
Hou Shi didn't know what happened after she was knocked unconscious, so Shu Yu repeated what she had seen.
That was roughly the situation.
When Hou Shi heard that the man in black had planned to stage her death as a suicide, she couldn't help but feel a chill. She quickly held Shu Yu's hand and said, "Thank goodness for Third Miss, thank goodness you were here, or I might have lost my life."
Shu Yu forced a smile; her life was almost lost too.
She quietly tightened her grip on the string of beads in her hand, wondering if Meng Yunzheng had left yet.
The leading official nodded after listening and said, "We understand the situation now. Alright, since everything is fine, go back to your rooms and rest. Try to stay indoors as much as possible."
He must have known about Hou Shi's connection with the other official. After saying this, he gave the other official a stern look.
Shu Yu stood up, supporting Hou Shi along with the Sixth Miss, and they walked out of the room together.
Back in the dormitory, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief.
Hou Shi thanked Shu Yu once again, but Shu Yu waved her hand and prepared to sleep.
After all the commotion, it was already late, and if she didn't sleep now, she wouldn't be able to wake up tomorrow.
Shu Yu didn't mind; she could sleep in the carriage. It was Hou Shi she was worried about.
However, even after surviving the near-death experience earlier, Hou Shi couldn't fall asleep now.
She gently patted the Sixth Miss's back and stayed wide awake even after both of them fell asleep.
