Wang Shanwen was furious when she saw her father say such shamelessly. She had never thought that her father could be so shameless for money.

"Dad——" Wang Shanwen suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to summon the last bit of love from his father.

But what responded to her was Wang Yuheng's angry glare, "Shut up, you evil creature, if you don't think about yourself, then at least think about your brothers and sisters at home and your mother!"

When Wang Shanwen heard this, she collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

Xu Yingying couldn't stand it anymore, she slammed the gavel on the table, and scolded Wang Yuheng, "How dare you! You actually threatened the victim in front of me? Are you still qualified to be a father like this?"

Faced with Xu Yingying's questioning, Wang Yuheng immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Yingying continuously.

"Sir, you are wrongly accusing me. I have already said that my daughter is engaged to the young master of the Shen family. She is willing to do this. If you don't believe me, go and ask her yourself."

After saying this, Wang Yuheng desperately winked at Wang Shanwen who was standing beside him.

Seeing this, Wang Shanwen took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the sadness in his heart, and finally nodded heavily.

"Reporting to the Lord, what happened between me and Mr. Shen was voluntary." Wang Shanwen said this while trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.

Xu Yingying couldn't help but emphasize to Wang Shanwen: "With me here, no one dares to hurt you. You just need to tell me the truth, and I will make the decision for you."

When Wang Shanwen heard this, she looked at Xu Yingying with gratitude.

She appreciated the kindness.

Wang Shanwen shook her head again, "I did all this voluntarily. This matter has been a misunderstanding from the beginning to the end. I hope you will not punish Mr. Shen."

Shen Xin, who was standing by, finally got the answer he wanted, so he stood up with a satisfied smile.

"Sir, since the person involved, Wang Shanwen, has personally said that this matter was a misunderstanding, can it be proved that my son is innocent and I can take him away?" Shen Xin said to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying felt a little unwilling to let them go like this, but after thinking for a while, she really couldn't find any reason to detain Shen Baiting again.

In the end, she could only nod and agree helplessly, "Since Mr. Shen is innocent, then you can take him back!"

Suddenly, Xu Yingying changed the subject, glanced at Shen Xin, then stared at Shen Baiting and said, "I hope Lord Shen can educate his son well. Next time, if Mr. Shen falls into my hands again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with him."

After saying this, Shen Baiting looked directly into Xu Yingying's eyes and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate, for worrying about me. But in my opinion, you are new here, and there are many places you are not familiar with!"

"I hope the county magistrate will pay more attention to himself! Otherwise, he might lose his official hat if he is not careful one day."

After saying that, Shen Baiting followed Shen Xin and walked away without looking back.

Wang Yuheng looked at Shen Baiting's departing back and hurriedly chased after him. Only Xu Yingying, Li Siqi, Wang Shanwen and others were left in the entire huge yamen.

Wang Shanwen looked at Xu Yingying with great guilt, "My Lord, I am really sorry for you. I did not mean to change my confession, but my brother, sister, and mother are all in my father's hands."

"If...if I don't obey him, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that when I go back today, there will be no good place for my brothers and sisters. In serious cases, he may even sell me and my mother to a brothel."

Wang Shanwen said this while crying and gasping for breath.

After listening to Wang Shanwen's explanation, Xu Yingying sighed helplessly, and then instructed Wu Da who was standing beside her: "Wu Da, please send this girl home in person! This way, her parents won't make things too difficult for her for your sake."

Wang Shanwen realized that she had changed her words temporarily and stabbed Xu Yingying in the back, but Xu Yingying still considered her, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Thank you, County Magistrate. Thank you, County Magistrate." Wang Shanwen kowtowed to Xu Yingying repeatedly.

"Okay, stop knocking." After saying that, Xu Yingying waved her hand and asked General Wu to send Wang Shanwen out.

Xu Yingying became extremely angry when she saw Wang Shanwen leaving. She still couldn't believe that there was no way to control Shen Baiting.

Li Siqi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke to comfort Xu Yingying, "Although you really want to help Wang Shanwen to deal with Shen Baiting, you have also seen that Wang Shanwen also has his own weaknesses. This matter is destined not to develop as you expected."

Xu Yingying was a little angry when she heard this. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Then is it right for us to watch bad people do bad things without being punished?"

Xu Yingying is from the 21st century, and she will never allow such unfair things to happen in front of her.

Li Siqi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, but he still answered firmly: "Bad guys must be punished for doing bad things. Since we have brought Shen Baiting to justice this time, we will continue to look for opportunities to send him to jail sooner or later."

When Xu Yingying heard Li Siqi's words, she was immediately full of confidence and nodded happily, "Okay."

Li Siqi recalled what Shen Baiting said before he left. He couldn't help but emphasize to Xu Yingying: "I feel like you have already made enemies with the Shen family. You have to be careful in the future."

Xu Yingying was not afraid at all when she heard this. Instead, she sneered and said, "It's settled, so what? I'm a county magistrate after all. What can they do to me?"

After saying that, Xu Yingying turned away.

Seeing Xu Yingying's anxious look, Li Siqi followed her out, worried that something might happen to her.

In the courtyard.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you what your name is in such a long time. My name is Li Siqi." Li Siqi suddenly asked Xu Yingying as if he remembered something.

Xu Yingying blurted out subconsciously: "My name is Xu Yingying."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying with an extremely strange look, "Xu... Yingying? Are you sure this is not a girl's name?"

……

"Uh..." Xu Yingying scratched her head. Why didn't she think of this?

Just when she didn't know how to start, she suddenly had an idea and said, "Actually, it's like this. When my mother was pregnant with me, she met a fortune teller and asked him whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl."

"The master said it was a boy. My mother was a little disappointed when she heard that. After all, she wanted a girl. After that, my mother never got pregnant again except for me, so she named me 'Yingying'."
