As Shu Yu passed by Ding Yuehua, Lu Sanzhu, who was following her, gave her an experienced reminder, "Ah Yu said not to worry, so we shouldn't worry. Let's go and see how she handles it."
Ding Yuehua hesitated for a moment and watched Shu Yu walk further away before hurrying to catch up with her.
Outside the gate, a large crowd had gathered, including the guests who had heard the commotion and rushed out from the Lu family, as well as passersby and neighbors living on Fenghuai Street.
Today was the Lu family's housewarming and Shu Yu's coming-of-age celebration, so there were naturally many spectators.
Even those who weren't invited as guests could still stand outside and occasionally receive some candies and snacks.
When Shu Yu walked out of the gate, she saw a large crowd outside. Fortunately, Fenghuai Street was wide enough; otherwise, there wouldn't have been enough space for everyone to stand.
Lu Sanzhu cleared a path for her, allowing Shu Yu to move forward.
"Lu Xiangjun," Kong Zhiyou worriedly approached Shu Yu and said in a low voice, "We don't know the origin of the other party, but they seem hostile. Causing a scene outside isn't a good idea. We should invite them inside to talk calmly and avoid becoming a laughingstock."
Indeed, the normal approach would be to reduce conflicts and sit down to have a proper conversation.
However, Lady Zhang's arrival was so sudden and clearly meant to cause trouble at the entrance. In that case, why should Shu Yu handle the situation with diplomacy? Why should she try to reason with someone who intentionally came to pick a fight?
Did they think she was easy to bully?
Shu Yu replied to Kong Zhiyou, "Step back for now; I'll see how the situation unfolds."
Having said that, she walked to the front. When she raised her head, she saw a splendid carriage surrounded by people. In front of the carriage stood a young woman with a scornful smile, arrogantly tilting her head.
Her attendants shaded her with an umbrella and fanned her, giving off an air of great importance.
In front of the young woman was another person dressed in deep blue court attire, holding a short whip with a slightly ferocious expression. Despite sweating profusely under the scorching sun, he seemed exhilarated and swung the whip at Ying Dong.
Ying Dong was skilled enough to avoid being hit, but he didn't know who the person was and didn't dare to retaliate hastily, fearing that it would cause trouble for the Lu family.
Therefore, he could only frown and step back, being cautious not to retreat into the crowd of onlookers to avoid accidentally hitting them.
Seeing this, Shu Yu's anger flared, and she shouted, "Ying Dong, strike back!"
As soon as the word 'strike' fell, Ying Dong didn't look back; he stopped retreating, raised his right leg, and with a 'bang,' he kicked the man with the whip about five meters away, making him fall right in front of Lady Zhang.
"Ah..." Lady Zhang let out a sharp cry, quickly taking a step back and almost crouching down in pain as she hit the carriage's shaft.
The noisy scene immediately went silent, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene before them.
Did he just hit back like that?
Ying Dong confidently returned to Shu Yu's side after taking three steps. "Second Miss."
"Well done." Shu Yu's orders were decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Ying Dong's lips curled into a hint of a smile, which he quickly suppressed. He whispered, "These two people refuse to reveal their identity. They came to pick a fight as soon as they arrived; it's evident that they are looking for trouble. But I heard the man with the whip call the woman by the carriage 'sister.'"
