Shu Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When no one was paying attention, she quickly stood up and hid in the corner. She picked up the string of beads that Meng Yunzheng had thrown over.
At this moment, more and more people heard the commotion. The people from the courier station and the officials escorting them came over.
The Shu family did not come. They heard the fighting outside and did not dare to go out. They only dared to look outside through the window.
The Sixth Young Lady in the other room also woke up. She got up and wanted to ask what was going on, but she found that there was no one else in the room except for her. She had a hunch that the commotion outside might be related to Madam Hou, so she quickly came out with her sickly body.
The fight in the courtyard became more and more intense. Shu Yu retreated backward and b.u.mped into the sixth girl who was looking for someone.
The latter quickly pulled 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 how Madam Hou was, only that she was unconscious on the ground.
However, since that man wanted to pretend that she committed suicide, he shouldn’t have killed her first and then hung herself, right? Madam Hou was most likely knocked unconscious.
Shu Yu thought of this and pointed to the house opposite. “Your Mother is in there.”
However, there was a fight in the middle of the courtyard at the moment. They could not go over, or they would be easily injured by accident.
The Sixth Young Lady was so anxious that she wanted to run past them to find Madam Hou.
Shu Yu pulled her back. “Wait a little longer. They’ll be done soon.”
Although the man in black was skilled, it was still very difficult for him to fight against two people. Moreover, these two people looked like experts. It was just that they wanted to capture him alive, so they were a little restrained when fighting.
But in the current situation, the man in black was indeed at a disadvantage.
At this moment, an official not far away ran over and asked, “What exactly happened? Who were those people? Why are they fighting?”
Shu Yu shook her head. “I don’t know her either. When I woke up at night, I realized that Madam Hou wasn’t in the house. I heard Madam Hou’s voice calling for help from the other house, so I went over to take a look.”
As she spoke, Shu Yu calmly glanced at the officer who met Madam Hou.
The latter was stunned for a moment and looked away uncomfortably.
However, he quickly frowned. He had separated from Madam Hou very quickly and returned to their respective rooms.
Why did Madam Hou suddenly appear in that room?
Shu Yu continued, her voice trembling with fear. “Then I saw Madam Hou in the room, unconscious on the ground. The man in black took a rope and wanted to put it around her neck as if he wanted to kill her. I was afraid at that time and thought that it was more important to find someone quickly. In the end, the handcuff accidentally made a sound and was heard by the other party. That man put down Madam Hou and came to kill me. I was lucky and fell to the ground to avoid it. Later, I saw those two people come out and fight with that man.”
The officer frowned when he heard this, but the Sixth Young Lady’s face turned pale. “Then, is my mother alright?”
“I think it should be fine, right?”
As they spoke, the man in black was finally taken down by the other two. The man in black wanted to commit suicide, but he was knocked unconscious by them. His chin was removed and tied up.
Only then did the officer walk forward quickly and talk to them.
Shu Yu, the Sixth Young Lady, and the remaining two officers quickly crossed the courtyard and went straight to Madam Hou’s room to check on her condition.
