Lanhua sniffled, took a deep breath, and said, “I had a date with a girl from the village to come to the county to sell silk ribbons today, but we didn’t manage to sell any this morning. Later, I heard that many girls would come here and that we could try selling our ribbons here, so we came.”
“In the end, just as I sold two silk ribbons, I met those young masters. They, they blocked my way and refused to let me go. They even said that they were not familiar with this peach blossom forest. As long as I took them around, they would buy all the silk ribbons in my hands. I refused, and they started touching me. I couldn’t even get away from them. Unexpectedly, Third Uncle suddenly appeared. He saved me, and then they pushed Third Uncle into the water.”
Shu Yu understood. Those dandies had failed to pick up Lanhua and became angry out of humiliation. Seeing that Lu Sanzhu was alone and not from a rich or powerful family, they simply attacked him.
It seemed that they were certain that Lu Sanzhu and Lanhua didn’t have any backers, so they acted without restraint.
Shu Yu nodded, “I understand. Stand at the back. I’ll handle this.”
As they spoke, those people came out of the water one after another.
Shu Yu squatted and picked up a bamboo pole. She pointed at the few people who were angrily coming to settle scores with her and sneered, “What? Do you want to continue swimming?”
“You, you brat! You’re simply courting death. Do you know who we are? How dare you attack us?”
“I don’t know who you are,” Shu Yu said in a deep voice, “I only know that you pushed my Third Uncle into the water and even prevented him from coming ash.o.r.e. This is murder. You’re treating human lives like gra.s.s. You’re murderers.”
Shu Yu’s words were especially sonorous and powerful, and the three young masters were frightened.
The next moment, they snapped back to their senses and were immediately furious.
“Disregard human lives? Well, you pushed all of us into the water just now too!
Aren’t you also murdering us? Are you a murderer too?”
“You’re right. Both of us have pushed people into the water. Therefore, I suggest that we report this to the authorities.”
After Shu Yu said this, she saw the expressions of the people opposite her change. It seemed that Lu Sanzhu was right, and her guess was correct.
“Let’s go to the officials and explain things clearly in front of the judge. You guys were the ones who attacked first anyway. I was just anxious to save my uncle and lost my sense of propriety. What about you guys? You used bamboo poles to stop my uncle from coming ash.o.r.e.”
“You, you…”
The young master who spoke earlier was so angry that he could not speak. The remaining two young masters laughed angrily.
“Why talk nonsense with this wretched girl? You guys, go! I’m going to strip her clothes and throw her into the water today so that everyone can see.”
Shu Yu’s expression abruptly turned cold. The bamboo pole in her hand suddenly darted forward and slapped the young master’s mouth.
That person was instantly enraged and shouted at the servants behind him,
“Aren’t you going to go get her?”
The servants immediately rushed forward. Unfortunately, not only was Shu Yu now angry, but she had a weapon in hand. Without saying a word, she whipped at them.
Some of the servants also squatted and picked up bamboo poles to fight with her, but were pushed into the water by Shu Yu again.
The sounds of people falling into the water rang out a few times, and the surrounding crowd burst into laughter.
Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the young masters were the ones at fault, but they were not ordinary people. As such, the crowd did not dare to stand on Shu Yu’s side and offend the young masters.
Just as things were getting out of hand, someone ran over from afar..
