The courtyard was tense, like a bowstring stretched to its breaking point.
At a glance, Shu Yu saw a bench placed in the center of the courtyard. On it, Xiao Yun was struggling furiously but couldn't resist the strength of two old women, who held her down firmly. Someone stood to the side holding two large paddles.
If Yuehua hadn't arrived in time, those paddles would have already come crashing down.
Apart from this, there were two individuals who appeared to be masters standing in the courtyard.
The younger one was likely Ms. Mei, the Eldest Young Mistress of the Fan family. Beside her stood an older woman whose sharp gaze and hostile expression suggested she was Mrs. Fan, Ms. Yu.
Earlier, Shu Yu had heard from an old woman who came to report that Xiao Yun had a conflict with Ms. Mei.
But judging from the scene, Ms. Yu had also gotten involved.
Yuehua facing two opponents—one of whom was her senior as a mother-in-law—was at a clear disadvantage.
