Chapter 308 Can you shut up?

Everyone was speechless for a moment after hearing her words.

Seeing this, the aunt became even more self-righteous, "If you're not afraid, then take your child back. Let's see if they'll arrest you all and take you to the yamen for interrogation. Once you're in the yamen, you won't be able to leave with a clean slate."

Then he looked at Shu Yu and Lu Dasong and the others, and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "And you guys, be careful too. Yuan Shanchuan's brothers and parents have all been arrested, so his mother-in-law and brother-in-law might not escape either. These two kids are hot potatoes; whoever takes them will be in trouble."

Da Niu clearly felt the little Zhen in his arms suddenly stiffen, and then begin to tremble.

He abruptly raised his head and said angrily, "You..."

However, Shu Yu preemptively questioned, "Who told you they would be beheaded? Has the charge been decided? Did the magistrate say it himself? You're more wise and arbitrary than the officials in the county government, aren't you? You're already throwing mud at people before there's even any result."

"I, I was..."

"What? Am I wrong? How can you be so malicious towards two children? It makes you seem so capable, doesn't it?"

The aunt was furious. "Fine, fine, if you're so capable, then you should make the magistrate release the man!"

"I can't compare to you. You solved the case before the magistrate."

Shu Yu ignored her and squatted down to say to Xiao Zhen, who was looking up blankly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to see your mother in a little while."

Tears still clung to Xiao Zhen's face. She didn't know Shu Yu, but she felt a sense of reassurance in her voice. The blood on her head had been wiped away. Thankfully, the wound wasn't too large.

"Will I ever see my mother again? Aunt Yao said I'll only be able to see her one last time at the vegetable market."

As Xiao Zhen spoke, tears streamed down her face again, her eyes filled with utter despair.

Shu Yu suddenly raised her head and looked at the aunt.

Aunt Yao was startled by her sharp gaze and took a step back, but still stubbornly said, "Oh, oh, oh, you've got quite the nerve. You're going to take her to see her mother in a little while? She's already locked up in jail, and you still want to take her to see her? You're really trying to scare people."

"Can you shut up?" Shu Yu patted Xiao Zhen's head and stood up. "I haven't hit anyone in a long time. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite."

"you……"

A woman nearby whispered to Shu Yu, "Girl, don't take it to heart. She just can't stand seeing your fourth aunt's family doing well. Her husband always beats and scolds her, but the neighbor, Old Yuan, is so considerate and caring towards his wife. She's unhappy about that, and she's happy to see your fourth aunt's family suffer."

That's what she said, but she also felt that Aunt Yao's words made some sense.

The county magistrate hasn't convicted Yuan Shanchuan yet, but if Yuan Shanchuan hadn't actually committed a crime, he wouldn't have come to arrest him directly, right?

Shu Yu nodded slightly, but when she looked down at Xiao Zhen, she still affirmed, "Of course you will be able to see your mother."

Xiao Zhen pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, and nodded heavily.

Shu Yu then looked at the gate of the Yuan family's courtyard, and she did not recognize the two guards standing at the gate.

According to the villagers of Daxu Village, there are still government officials searching the Yuan family's house, but no one knows what they are looking for.

Shu Yu decided to go and inquire about it. She asked her uncle to look after Xiao Zhen first, and then she headed towards the Yuan family's house.
