Chapter 612: Xie Yu Helps Out
"Mother, don't worry, we can't go in. It's a requirement of the law and we just have to accept it."
"In a moment, Xiao Jin and the others will be taken in for questioning in the main hall. You need to pay close attention."
"Okay, okay." Chu Liushi knew that it was useless to worry at this point. She could only try her best to calm down.
This feeling of being oppressed by power made her feel a hint of resentment and at this moment she was more worried, her gaze tightly focused on the side door, impatiently.
The Xie Family.
Xie Yu was followed by two guards as he hurried out of the main gate towards the county yamen.
Upon learning the news after a stick of incense, the steward of the Xie family angrily scolded the servants guarding the gate, "How can such an important matter only be reported now? If something happens to the young master, I'll hold you accountable."
The steward of the Xie family didn't say much either. He quickly found some people and rushed to the county yamen.
But when he arrived...
He found that everything was going smoothly at the county yamen.
The steward of the Xie family was somewhat puzzled, so he squeezed forward to find someone from the Chu family. He was more informed, and now the Xie family had already cooperated with Chu Xiucan to conclude matters. The manpower below had noticed that Wang Dizhu had taken action, and it seemed significant.
He had repeatedly advised the young master not to go out at this time.
Wait another ten days, and then send the young master to the capital to take the imperial examination.
Who knew that the young master, from who knows where, learned of Wang Dizhu's intentions to act against Chu Xiucan's family today, and rushed over after deceiving him.
The steward of the Xie family could only pray that the young master was among the crowd.
Pushing to the front, the steward of the Xie family didn't see Xie Yu. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. Turning his head, he saw Chu Liushi, whom he recognized. He hurriedly bowed and asked, "Madam, are you Mrs. Chu Xiucan?"
"Who are you?" Chu Liushi asked instinctively.
The steward of the Xie family hurriedly said, "I am the steward of the Xie family. Have you seen our third young master?"
Chu Liushi had only seen Xie Yu's appearance at the last bookstore banquet. After the steward of the Xie family introduced himself, she finally remembered but she was quite puzzled by his question. "Third Young Master? I didn't see him come in."
"Then where is Mrs. Chu Xiucan and the young master?" The steward of the Xie family saw Chu Ziluo standing nearby, so he asked.
Chu Liushi replied, "Just a moment ago, they went in with a yamen officer to fetch Xiao Jin."
Before this, Chu Jin and other children had already testified in court.
The steward of the Xie family felt a thud in his heart but he didn't show it on his face. He bowed and took his leave, "Madam, I won't disturb you. I'll go look for the young master elsewhere."
Chu Liushi held Chu Ziluo's clothes with one hand, furrowing her brows as she watched the steward of the Xie family leave. She felt that something was off, but she couldn't articulate it. Thinking of asking the steward of the Xie family again, she felt that they weren't familiar enough, and asking too many questions might not be welcomed, which could offend him. Moreover, the steward of the Xie family seemed to be in a hurry.
"Where could the third young master of the Xie family be?" Chu Liushi murmured softly, unable to wait any longer. She pulled Chu Ziluo and said to Liu Hai, who was beside them, "Let's go to the side gate to see if Ah Yu and Xiao Jin are coming out."
"Alright, Madam." Liu Hai led the way.
Qian also hurried out, waving to Chu Xing, who was guarding the mule cart at the alley entrance outside the county yamen, "Third Elder, come here quickly. Let Lao He watch the mule cart for you."
Chu Xing, upon hearing this, handed the mule cart rope to an uncle from the same village. After thanking him, he quickly caught up with his mother.
"Mother, where are we going?"
