It was as if the pause button had been pressed. Other than the servant who had fallen into the water and started shouting, everyone looked at Shu Yu, who was standing by the shore, in shock.
In the next moment, the other three servants reacted. They pointed the bamboo pole in their hands at Shu Yu.
“Brat, where did you get the…”
Shu Yu made another leap, and the sound of three heavy objects falling into the water sounded one after another.
The four servants, who had previously attacked Lu Shanzhu, were now neatly submerged in the water.
The scene became even quieter. Shu Yu took a deep breath and walked to the shore. She said to the dazed Lu Sanzhu, “How are you? Can you come up?”
Lu Sanzhu suddenly came to his senses. He quickly wiped the water off his face and said, “Yes, yes, yes. Move aside a little. I’m coming up now.”
As Lu Sanzhu spoke, he began to climb up to shore.
However, the three young masters at the side finally recovered from their shock. One of them picked up a bamboo pole on the ground and hit Lu Sanzhu. The other two ran to Shu Yu to settle the score.
Shu Yu closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, “Forget it. Kicking one or seven is still kicking. The consequences are the same.”
After saying that, she started kicking people again under everyone’s incredulous gazes.
Looking at the seven people huddled together in the lotus pond, Shu Yu finally felt at ease.
Lu Sanzhu turned his head to take a look, then quickly climbed to the shore.
He was wet all over and his face was full of fear. He ran to Shu Yu’s side in fear and asked softly, “Yu, Yu, what should we do now?”
It seemed that he had really caused trouble.
They were just commoners. How could they afford to provoke these young masters?
Lu Sanzhu was so afraid he thought he would die. He desperately restrained himself from hiding behind Shu Yu.
Shu Yu pushed him towards Tang Wenqian.
“Scholar Tang, help me take care of him. I’ll solve this.”
. Alright,” Tang Wenqian opened his mouth but did not comment on her behavior.
He led Lu Sanzhu to the side. Lu Sanzhu would catch a cold easily in this state. Nowadays, colds were a serious illness. If one wasn’t careful, one would lose their life.
Fortunately, one of Tang Wenqian’s classmates had brought a change of clothes. Although their builds were slightly different, he could still wear them.
Tang Wenqian planned to ask Lu Sanzhu to change his clothes first, but the latter was a little worried. He looked at Shu Yu, then at the few people who were desperately trying to climb up from the lotus pond to the shore. He couldn’t help but tremble.
Fortunately, he had run errands with Shu Yu a few times, so he had developed some tacit understanding with his niece.
Before he was taken away by Tang Wenqian, he went straight to the point and told Shu Yu, “Yu, these young masters are from the neighboring county. I heard them say that they can’t make a huge commotion.”
Shu Yu expressed her speechlessness with a “Huh?”.
Those young masters pushed Lu Sanzhu into the water and attracted so many people to watch the show. Wasn’t this called making a huge commotion?
However, she quickly understood the meaning behind Lu Sanzhu’s words. Since those people were from another county, the so-called “can’t make a huge commotion” was because they didn’t want to alarm the local forces, or… The local officials.
Shu Yu nodded, indicating that she knew what to do, and urged Lu Sanzhu to quickly change his clothes.
After Lu Sanzhu left, Shu Yu looked at Lanhua.
Lanhua had cried so hard that her voice had turned hoarse. She timidly whispered, “Sister Yu.”
“Don’t cry.. Tell me, what’s going on? Why are you here?”
