The two officers were angry and showed no kindness to Mrs. Xue, almost rudely hauling her straight to the Shu family.
Mrs. Xue, in pain, broke out in a cold sweat that soaked her clothes through.
After tossing the concubine in front of the Shu family, the officers also added a few words, "Can't your family even keep an eye on a concubine? She dared to question the content of the Imperial Decree before the Village Chief. It seems the tasks we've given you are still too easy; tomorrow, the men of your household should all head to the mining site."

The countenances of the Shu family changed, and the looks they gave the concubine were filled with malice.
Mrs. Xue was terrified as she looked at them, knowing she was finished.
