Immediately, my body subconsciously loosened its grip.

It took her a moment to realize that she, a future princess, was actually frightened by the daughter of a minor official.

Just ridiculous.

Wang Peiru was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her hard.

"Who are you to dare to speak to me like that? I'm telling you that this matter can't be let go like this. If I find out that you're in collusion with Mu Yan, I'll make you pay."

Mu Xue didn't say anything, but just stared at Wang Peiru, her eyes full of hatred.

Snapped--

Wang Peiru raised her hand and slapped him again loudly.

"How dare you glare at me, you lowly thing."

It was not until the sound of footsteps was heard nearby that Wang Peiru's personal maid advised: "Miss, why bother with such a person? She is not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

Wang Peiru glanced at her before turning and leaving, still cursing at the maid.

"This lowly person of unknown status, if I knew she dared to lie to me, when I become the Crown Princess, I will definitely make her a courtesan to serve old men."

These words deeply hurt Mu Xue's sensitive self-esteem. She covered her red and swollen cheeks, and her eyes were filled with tremendous hatred.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

It turned out that the footsteps just now were from Dingxiang. She was knocked unconscious and woke up to find the noise here, so she came over and found that it was Mu Xue who was here.

Dingxiang told her that she was knocked unconscious as soon as she went out.

Mu Xue narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that she had been exposed. Mu Yan had already known their plan.

……

At this time, Lin Shilou was still entertaining guests in the main hall.

"Master Lin, I wish Madam Lin a long life."

"Lord Lin, I wish Madam Lin good health and a long life."

"Thank you, colleagues. Thank you very much."

Lin Shilou's face was filled with pride. The fact that so many people came today showed that he had good connections in the officialdom. He didn't care at all about the thieves in Lin Shishi's yard. Instead, he felt that she had brought bad luck to the birthday party.

"Let me go, please let me go, I was framed, please let me go, Dad, please save me!"

An untimely shout broke the scene.

Then we saw Wang Pinyi being escorted to the lobby by the Lin family’s guards, one on each side.

The guests in the lobby at this time were those who had not followed them in, so they had no idea what had happened in the inner courtyard.

"Master Lin, what does this mean?"

Wang Pinyi's father couldn't help but look angry when he saw his son being tied up.

Seeing that he was being questioned on the spot, Lin Shilou was embarrassed and immediately scolded him:

"How dare you! How can you tie up the distinguished guest at the old lady's birthday party? Untie him now."

"Master, Master, you can't untie me."

Meng immediately stopped them and walked in crying, not looking like a wealthy and noble lady like her usual self.

Lin Shilou frowned and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Don't embarrass me here."

After being scolded by Lin Shilou, Meng Shi felt even more wronged: "Master, our daughter was ruined by this scoundrel."

"What, Shishi and him..."

Before, when they were in the main hall, the servants said that there was a thief in the second young lady's courtyard, so Lin Shilou preconceived that it was Lin Shishi.

Lin Shilou was shocked at first, then he sighed and said helplessly: "In this case, the two of them should get married. What do you think, Earl Yongkang?"

Although this matter is rather embarrassing, there is no other way now that things have come to this point.

The guests who came today were all from families with whom he had good relations in the court. When the time came, he could let them speak in unison to the outside world, saying that the two children had already been engaged. This would help to stop some of the gossips and save some face.

Besides, Wang Peiru is so close to the prince now, and there is a high possibility that she will become the crown princess and the queen in the future. It will also be beneficial for the Lin family to marry into the Wang family.

The more Lin Shilou thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good marriage.

"No, master, with Wang Pinyi... it's the eldest lady, not the second lady." The maid who had just been to the inner courtyard said in a low voice.

Lin Shilou’s eyes went dark, his body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.

It’s not Shishi, but his most beloved daughter Yanyan?

Lin Shilou's eyes went dark and his scalp went numb with anger. When he came to his senses, he kicked Wang Pinyi in the chest.

"You beast, a mere bastard actually did such a shameless thing in my house. I will definitely send you to the government office and give my daughter justice."

The guests who were watching the excitement in the inner courtyard just now also came back one after another, and sneered at the change that Lin Shilou had undergone from just now to now.

It would be fine if the daughter of the original wife was raped, but she still had to marry him off to save face.

The daughter of the second wife despised the man for being a bastard and wanted to seek justice for him.

It is true that if you have a stepmother, you will also have a stepfather.

Lin Shishi arrived at the main hall without knowing when. She watched this ironic scene with her whole body swaying. Mu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to hold her shoulders to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"Lin Shilou, it was clearly your daughter who framed me, so why did you send me to the yamen?" Wang Pinyi called him by his name, without any politeness.

"You're talking nonsense. It was you who tricked my daughter into her sister's study and had bad intentions towards her." Meng pointed at Wang Pinyi and accused him.

"You're talking nonsense. It was you who wanted to establish a relationship with our Wang family, so you tricked me into Lin Shishi's study and told me to have an affair with Lin Shishi. But in the end, it was the old woman Lin Yanyan who got the upper hand."

At the end, he even vomited deliberately, which was very ironic.

Lin Shilou's face was horrified. This kid from the Wang family was going too far.

He kicked again without caring about his image, and this kick made Wang Pinyi spit out blood.

"Master Lin!"

Wang Zhenqing, the Earl of Yongkang, stood up to defend him: "Lord Lin, my son said that he was deceived and framed by Lin Yanyan, the eldest daughter of your Lin family. It was not his intention. You, the Lin family, need to give me an explanation."

Lin Shilou was so angry that he laughed. My cabbages were eaten by your pigs, and you still want me to give you an explanation.

At this time, Mu Yan whispered a few words in Lin Shishi's ear, and then Lin Shishi stood up and said, "Everything must be based on evidence. My elder sister was forced by Wang Pinyi, which is obvious to everyone. If Master Wang said that my elder sister framed you, you must produce evidence. How can we convince others with only your one-sided words?"

Wang Pinyi thought for a moment and said quickly, "I have a witness. It was your maid from the Lin Mansion who took me to Lin Shishi's yard today. Otherwise, how could I have found her yard accurately if I had never been to the Lin family before?"

Wang Pinyi was unusually smart and was able to realize that the maid was a witness. However, he still thought too superficially. The indentures of all the maids of the Lin family were in the hands of the Lin family, so naturally he would speak for the Lin family.

Then he looked around and pointed at a maid and shouted excitedly: "It's her. She is the one who took me there. She must know the whole matter clearly."
