Chapter 1071 Demands Compensation from Shu

Shu Yu nodded. "If the vet comes over later, let him take a look at Da Bai too."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards her white horse.

The horses and carriages were kept separate. The carriages were neatly arranged on the other side of the backyard, while the horses were tethered in the stables to shelter from the rain and be fed.

The carriages were unaffected and remain intact.

Shu Yu walked over to her pet dog, Da Bai, and reached out to pat its head.

Big White recognized her and nuzzled her affectionately. Shu Yu smiled at this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that her big white horse has calmed down, unlike the other horses nearby that are still a bit irritable, and even their owners dare not approach them.

Shu Yu nodded to the stableman, "I can do it myself."

Shu Yu wanted to lead Da Bai a little further away, otherwise the way the other horses were behaving would still affect Da Bai.

However, just as she took a few steps to the side with Big White, several people suddenly rushed out and blocked her way.

"Stop right there, you're not allowed to leave."

Shu Yu frowned and looked up at the people in front of her.

These people... seem to be the owners of those two injured horses? Just now they were staying by the side of the injured horse, anxiously waiting for the veterinarian to arrive.

Ying Xi stood in front of Shu Yu, her face tense, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"We didn't intend to do anything; we just wanted to get justice from the girl."

Shu Yu, "..."

Huh? What justice are you asking her for?

She pointed to herself and said, "I don't think I know you. You're asking me for justice? I haven't done anything to you."

“You don’t recognize us, but those two horses got into trouble because of you.” One of the middle-aged men, who seemed to be in charge, stepped forward and stared sharply at Shu Yu.

His appearance was rather fierce, and the onlookers all took two steps back and kept their distance from him.

Shu Yu's expression remained unchanged; she only found it amusing. "Are you kidding me? Your horses died and were injured because of the collapsed courtyard wall. What does that have to do with me? Surely I didn't kick the wall down myself?"

"The collapse of the courtyard wall was indeed one reason, but our two horses were clever. They broke free of their ropes and ran away before the wall collapsed to the stable. Who knew that your horse would kick them, and they would fall to the ground and be crushed under the collapsed stable, losing their lives instantly."

Shu Yu, “…” She felt like she didn’t quite understand what she was saying.

"You're saying your horse died because of my dog, Da Bai?"

"right."

Shu Yu pointed to where they had tied their horses, then to the stable on the left. "My Da Bai is on the far left, still on a rope, while your two horses are on the far right. With that distance, you're telling me my horse kicked yours?"

The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes, I have witnesses."

"who?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the innkeeper leading the horse behind Shu Yu.

Shu Yu turned around, and the coachman trembled slightly before nodding repeatedly, saying, "Young lady, it's true, it's exactly like that. Your white horse reacts much faster than the others. As soon as the courtyard wall showed signs of collapsing, it became very agitated, broke free of its reins, and ran outside. Who knew that when it reached the right stable, this guest's horse also came out, and the two horses collided. Your white horse immediately reared up and kicked, so..."

He lowered his head as he spoke, but the meaning behind his words was obvious.
