Chapter 531 The Marquis should be alright.

Shu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, she quickly stood up and hid in a corner, while also picking up the string of beads that Meng Yunzheng had just thrown over.

More and more people heard the commotion and came over, including the people from the post station and the escorting officials.

The Shu family didn't come. They heard the fighting outside and didn't dare to go out, only daring to look out the window.

The sixth daughter in the other room was also awakened. She got up and was about to ask what was going on when she found that there was no one else in the room except her. She had a feeling that the commotion outside might be related to Madam Hou, so she quickly forced herself to come out despite her illness.

The fight in the courtyard grew increasingly intense. Shu Yu stepped back and bumped into the sixth girl, who was looking for someone.

The latter hurriedly grabbed her and asked in a panic, "Third sister, have you seen my mother? There's no one in the house."

Shu Yu hesitated and didn't speak. She didn't know what was wrong with Hou Shi, only that she was lying on the ground unconscious.

However, if that man wanted to fake her suicide, surely he wouldn't have killed her first and then hanged her? Hou was most likely knocked unconscious.

Thinking of this, Shu Yu pointed to the house across the street and said, "Your mother is in there."

However, a fight was taking place in the middle of the courtyard, and they couldn't go over there, otherwise they would easily be accidentally injured.

The sixth girl was in a panic, wanting to run past them to find Lady Hou.

Shu Yu pulled her back, "Wait a little longer, they'll be done soon."

Although the man in black was quite skilled, he was still struggling against two people, especially since the two men also appeared to be experts. However, they clearly wanted to capture him alive, so they were somewhat hesitant in their fight.

However, in the current situation, the man in black is indeed at a disadvantage.

At this moment, the officers from nearby also ran over and asked, "What exactly happened? Who are those people? Why are they fighting?"

Shu Yu shook her head. "I don't know her either. When I got up in the middle of the night, I found that Aunt Hou was not in the room. I happened to hear Aunt Hou shouting for help from the other room, so I went to check it out."

As she spoke, Shu Yu glanced discreetly at the official who had met with Lady Hou.

The latter was clearly taken aback for a moment, then awkwardly looked away.

But he quickly frowned again. He had clearly separated from Madam Hou very quickly and they had each returned to their rooms.

Why is Madam Hou suddenly in that room again?

Shu Yu continued, her voice still trembling with lingering fear, "Then I saw Aunt Hou lying unconscious on the floor inside the house. The man in black took a rope and tried to put it around her neck, as if he wanted to kill her. I was terrified and thought it was more important to find someone quickly, but the handcuffs and shackles accidentally made a sound, which the other party heard. The man put Aunt Hou down and came to kill me, but I was lucky and tripped and dodged. Then I saw those two people come out and fight with the man."

The official frowned upon hearing this, but the sixth young lady's face turned deathly pale. "Then, is my mother alright?"

"I think everything should be alright, right?"

As they were talking, the man in black was finally subdued by the other two. He tried to commit suicide, but they knocked him unconscious, dislocated his jaw, and tied him up.

The officers then quickly stepped forward and began to speak with them.

Shu Yu, along with the Sixth Miss and the remaining two officers, quickly crossed the courtyard and headed straight for Aunt Hou's room to check on her condition.
