446 Blaming Others (1)

The people around them spoke one after another. Madam Li and the others finally pieced together the whole story.

They would believe that Shen Yijia had hit someone, but it was impossible for her to be willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to bribe others, let alone plot to frame and silence them.

This was simply slander!

Lin Shao asked worriedly, “Auntie, what should we do? Will Sister-in-law be fine?”

Madam Li tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand. Two years ago, the Bulwark Duke’s residence had been framed and her husband had been taken away by the imperial guards who had broken into the residence. At that time, she did not even have time to say anything.

This morning, the bailiffs suddenly came to her door and wanted to take Sister Jia away without a word. She held her breath and did not faint.

Even now, Madam Li’s head was still buzzing, and her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

She did not comfort Lin Shao. She only turned around and instructed Mo Yuan, “Go and find out where Brother Song went. Tell him to come back quickly.”

Mo Yuan did not move. If the people inside dared to attack Miss later, she was prepared to kill to force her way in.

Madam Li said anxiously, “Only he can save Sister Jia now. Nothing will happen here for the time being. Go quickly!”

Mo Yuan glanced at Madam Li and turned to look at the people standing in the hall. She frowned and turned to squeeze out of the crowd.

In the high hall, Lord Cai did not expect the second daughter of the Shen family to be such a delicate little girl. Not only was she not afraid of him, but her eyes were also sizing him up.

He coughed lightly and slapped the wood. He shouted, “How dare you, Madam Song Shen? Why didn’t you kneel when you saw me?”

Oh, one had to kneel in court!

Shen Yijia looked around and met Shen Wenbo’s half-smile.

She pursed her lips and walked towards Shen Wenbo.

Everyone was still curious about what she was doing when they saw the young lady suddenly raise her leg and kick Eldest Young Master Shen’s knee.

Shen Wenbo did not expect Shen Yijia to dare to attack him in the court. He lost his balance and staggered to his knees.

He grunted and put on a pained expression. He gritted his teeth and glared at Shen Yijia. “You…”

Shen Yijia raised her hand and patted Shen Wenbo’s shoulder, stopping him from standing up. She grinned at him with an expression that had “you don’t need to thank me” written all over it.

Then, she knelt down beside him and looked up at Lord Cai, who was still in a daze.

“Look, we’re all kneeling. You can start now.”

To outsiders, Shen Yijia’s movements were light, including the kick just now. After all, how strong could a little girl be?

However, Shen Wenbo, who had experienced it himself, felt that his shoulder was almost dislocated. His leg that had been kicked was still numb.

Shen Wenbo’s face twisted for a moment. He had an official position and was not involved in the case. He could choose not to kneel.

He was about to stand up when Shen Yijia’s faint voice came from his side.

“Kneel properly, or else…”

The threat was too obvious.

Shen Wenbo’s expression changed a few times. He thought of something and sneered.

Hee would let this little b*tch be smug for a while. When the time came, she would cry.

Yesterday, Shen Pingxiu only wanted to trick his first suspect, Shen Yijia, back to the residence and beat her to death to vent his anger.

Shen Wenbo felt that this was inappropriate and suggested something else, and Shen Pingxiu immediately agreed.

This matter had already happened. Even if they killed her, not only would it be useless, but it would also bring about other troubles.

After all, things were different now. Shen Yijia was already married, and they could not kill her just because they wanted to.

Shen Wenbo let Madam Chen find Madam Zhang first and a.n.a.lyze the stakes with her.

Madam Zhang knew that Shen Pingxiu’s fall would not benefit her at all.

Moreover, she knew Shen Pingxiu well. At this point, even if Madam Chen killed the mother and son, that man would probably not blink.

Madam Chen called her sister affectionately and sincerely said that it was not easy for women. She understood.

She also promised that as long as she appeared to testify, she would definitely ensure her safety and agree to let her bring her son into the residence.

A concubine who stayed in the backyard all year round. In a few years, who would remember her?

How could Madam Zhang not know that there was some underlying scheme in this?

However, she had no choice. If she didn’t agree, she and her son wouldn’t be able to see the sun the next day.

She also knew that Madam Chen would not save her. She only hoped that Shen Pingxiu would spare her son’s life on the account that she had made up for her mistakes. After all, that was Shen Pingxiu’s bloodline.

That was how the lawsuit against Shen Yijia this morning came about.
