"What's wrong with Miss Chenyu?"
Liu Yao'er stepped forward, wanting to investigate, but Yang Hua shouted sternly, "Get back! My sister has been attacked. No one is allowed to enter the crime scene. Anyone who dares to break in will be destroying evidence!"
“Sister-in-law…the villain has passed out after drinking the tea. He’ll probably wake up soon. Quickly, arrest him.”
Did Chen Yu speak?

The two maids have already been sold off, and there's no way to trace them. Therefore, the matter will be announced as follows: "The notorious flower thief attempted to harm one of the Zuo family's maids, but Miss Chenyu witnessed it and, together with the maids, crippled the flower thief, sustaining serious injuries in the process. Is that acceptable?"
