"She is a shameless slut! She committed adultery with me! How dare your mansion allow such a woman to stay in the mansion? It's really a shame!"

When Cheng Jiayao heard these words, she felt extremely happy and a smile appeared on her face again.

She is a woman, and she knows best how to punish a woman so that she can never stand up again.

"Mother, I want to report to the police! I want to report to the police!" Gu Huai didn't listen to the man's nonsense at all, but just insisted on his own opinion angrily.

Yu wanted to scold Lin Qianqian, but was stopped by Gu Huai's words. She called the maid Yunque beside her and said, "Okay, Yunque, go report to the authorities."

"Mother, I'm afraid this isn't a good idea." Cheng Jiayao came forward gently, lowering her head and said to Yu.

"This is a shameful thing to begin with, how can we report it to the authorities? If the news of Aunt Lin's adultery with a man becomes known to everyone, then the prince will be ridiculed."

Yu said, "That's true. If we report it to the police, the news will surely spread."

Cheng Jiayao raised her eyelids and said, "Mother, Aunt Lin really likes to go out. I really don't know why she goes out so often. Now that Mr. Li has come to collect a debt, it is really unspeakable..."

She paused for a moment and cast her eyes on Lin Qianqian. "Auntie Lin, if you really owe Mr. Li money, just pay it back. It will be better for everyone if we settle this matter privately."

So what if Lin Qianqian made money secretly? Now she has to pay it back.

Lin Qianqian scolded coldly, "How ridiculous! Would I owe him money? And settle it privately? Madam, have you lost your mind? I have done things that I did not do openly, why should I admit it?"

"Today a man comes and casually says that I have an affair with him. If tomorrow a man comes and says that he has an affair with you, will you also admit it?"

"How could you say such nonsense!" Cheng Jiayao was furious, pointing at Lin Qianqian and aggrieved, "I came here with good intentions to consider your case, but you actually said that to me, saying that I had an affair with another man!"

Lin Qianqian's eyes were sharp, piercing like needles, "You can't stand it just because I said it casually. Then do you want me to admit it and I have to bear it?"

"I'm telling you, you and Li He teamed up to bully me. You're having an affair with him! I'm still your mother! I'm also the aunt of this Mr. Li you're talking about so affectionately!"

Cheng Jiayao felt greatly insulted.

Yu was stunned by what Lin Qianqian blurted out.

She looked at her in surprise. She was so disrespectful to Cheng Jiayao. She was the prince's wife, and she, a concubine, was so outspoken.

However, she was not afraid of the Marquis at all, so how could she be afraid of a prince's wife?

With this reckless and reckless spirit in her, she felt at ease when facing the Marquis.

When she met Jiayao, she felt that she was really impolite and uneducated. She actually spoke to Jiayao like that. Look, she was almost crying.

Lin Qianqian and Cheng Jiayao were arguing on this side, and Gu Huai and Li He were quarreling on the other side. The room was noisy. Yu found that she couldn't persuade or control either side, and she was so angry that she slapped her thigh.

After a while, Yunque came in trotting and whispered something in Yu's ear.

She quickly sat up straight, straightened her clothes, and said, "Please come in quickly, don't neglect others."

"Madame Hong, go and serve the tea."

"Yes."

Yunque really invited an official.

However, this official was no other than him.

It turned out to be Zhang Qi of the Jinwu Guard.

He appeared in the room, holding the sword at his waist, and everyone in the room fell silent.

Yu stood up respectfully and asked someone to show him a seat and pour him some tea. Cheng Jiayao felt a little puzzled when she saw Yu treating a new man like this.

Yu knew better than anyone that it was this gentleman who had detained Gu Huai for the fight and trouble he had caused in the restaurant.

The emperor didn't know about it because he gave the silver.

If he opened his mouth, the emperor would definitely know about it, and Huai'er's future would be ruined.

Zhang Qi glanced around the room and his gaze lingered on Lin Qianqian's cheek for a moment. He saw that she lowered her eyes, as if she didn't want to see him, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"I heard that there was a thief in the Marquis's mansion, so I came to help the Marquis catch the thief."

"Where is the thief?"

Yun Que pointed at Li He and said, "Mrs. Lin's handkerchief was stolen. Mr. Li mentioned that she had an engagement token with him, so he came to the mansion today to ask her to pay back the debt. He also stole the Golden Unicorn from the prince, so the prince asked me to report to the authorities. When I saw you, sir, I thought that you were a guard in the capital, and you were also in charge of catching thieves."

As soon as Zhang Qi came in, Li He started trembling all over.

He swallowed hard, lowered his head, and shrank back into the crowd, as if he had seen a terrifying beast.

When Zhang Qi glanced over, Li He shuddered.

He said with a straight face, "I have seen this person. Aunt Lin's reputation has long been known in the capital. That day, I led my men to patrol the streets, and he actually teamed up with two men to defile her. Fortunately, I led my men to show up in time to avoid a disaster. He confessed everything in the cell."

"Now it's involved in a theft case. Looks like I have to take him back for a thorough trial."

"Confessed? What did you confess?" Gu Huai asked impatiently.

Zhang Qi saw Gu Huai standing up, looked at his young face for a while and said, "He flirted with Lin Qianqian on the street before, and even made up a lie that Lin Qianqian owed him money and he was collecting the debt. After our interrogation, he admitted that he was just attracted by her beauty and that the debt was all nonsense."

How could such a weak man win her heart? He didn't believe it.

Women are very realistic.

Love of money, love of power, and he has them all.

Zhang Qi's words indirectly testified for Lin Qianqian and proved that Li He was lying.

Yu had no choice but to believe it.

She clenched her fists, her face unrecognizable, and pointed at Li He and scolded, "Okay! You really came to trick me!"

"I believed your lies before. I thought, if someone came to my door with a handkerchief, how could it be fake?"

"You are really a thief who stole the handkerchief! You are also a thief who stole the golden unicorn! Sir, you must put him in jail!" Yu looked at Zhang Qi and begged repeatedly, feeling ashamed for believing in others' words.

Zhang Qi said, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice."

"I never wrongly accuse a good person, nor do I let a bad person go."

Zhang Qi became anxious as he hadn't received any news for several days about Lin Qianqian leaving the mansion. He deliberately came to the gate of the mansion and met Yun Que.

Li He was so scared that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Sir, Sir! Spare my life! I...I didn't steal the golden unicorn! I didn't steal it! Don't arrest me and bring me back!"

Zhang Qi turned around and coldly ordered Ping An beside him: "Take the person away."

"Yes."

When Cheng Jiayao saw Li He being taken away, she seemed to have lost her strength and fell into a chair.

I heard that the Jinwu Guards are cruel and brutal, and torture is commonplace. What if she gives away her brother?
