At the same time, in order to prevent the family scandal from being exposed, he quietly said to Lord Song: "Song Song, you see, since such an unpleasant thing has happened in the family, can the official business we discussed earlier be discussed another day?"

Su Rao looked at Lord Song meaningfully: "Father, Lord Song is the Minister of Dali Temple, and he is the most fair and strict. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to leave him as our witness?"

She thought to herself that with this outsider around, her father would not dare to be too protective of Zhang.

Lord Song thought he was going to miss this good show, but then he listened to Su Rao's words.

It was just what he wanted. Just when he was about to get up and leave, he sat back in the comfortable chair. He couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards Su Rao, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

Soon, Zhang, the head of the Su family, walked into the hall with a group of followers.

Following closely behind was Sun Gui, the key figure in this matter, who was surrounded by several servants who supported and testified for him, with a very arrogant look on his face.

Su Rao's gaze penetrated the crowd and locked sharply on Sun Gui, her slightly furrowed brows revealing complex emotions.

This guy turned out to be an old acquaintance whom she had dealt with in her previous life and who had repeatedly given her headaches!

Suddenly, her mind became clear and she understood why Zhang had teamed up with Sun Gui to frame her mother.

It turns out that Sun Gui is actually the younger brother of Shen Jinghong's mother and the apple of the Sun family's eye. He is accustomed to relying on his power to do evil.

Sun Gui was a lazy scoundrel on weekdays. He was too lazy to work and spent all day hanging around the Sun family begging for a living. He spent almost all the money he extorted on brothels, thus gaining a bad reputation.

No girl wanted to have anything to do with him, so he was still alone in middle age.

Recalling the previous life, Su Rao had just stepped into the Shen family.

Sun Gui was like a piece of mud that could not be shaken off, becoming a burden that she could not get rid of...

Not only did he often behave frivolously and touch Su Rao.

Even the hard-earned money she saved from selling tofu from dawn to dusk was often taken away by him as if it were his own.

What is even more infuriating is that the elder of the Sun family turned a blind eye to this and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Whenever Su Rao expressed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, the old lady of the Sun family would use her best tricks.

The scene was so chaotic that no one could avoid it.

Although these were grudges accumulated from previous lives, when Su Rao recalled the various actions of Shen Jinghong's extreme relatives, she still couldn't help but shudder, as if the depression and fear traveled through time and space and attacked her heart again.

Fortunately, in this life she no longer set foot into the troubled land of the Shen family, kept a distance from those weird characters, and started a new chapter in her life.

However, fate plays a trick on her. This time it was Su Wan's turn to step into the Shen family's door, and Sun Gui naturally stuck to Su Wan like a plaster.

Perhaps it was out of selfishness that the old lady of the Sun family forced Su Wan to find some work for her.

Su Wan was quick-witted and came up with a solution in a flash, passing this tricky problem around like a hot potato.

It was cleverly thrown back into the threshold of the Su Mansion.

Relying on the complicated relationship between himself and Su Wan and Zhang, Sun Gui claimed to be half the master of the Su family. His style of behavior became more and more arrogant and domineering, and he was even bold enough to covet Su Rao's mother.

As expected, he was severely reprimanded by Su's mother. It was expected that he would not let it go when he returned home and would make a fuss again.

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Li naturally refused to give in and intended to vent all her anger on Su Wan.

Su Wan was overwhelmed by this groundless accusation and simply pushed this difficult problem to her capable mother.

Thus, an absurd farce quietly began, the purpose of which was to confuse right and wrong.

Ruining Su's mother's reputation can calm Sun Gui's anger!

In fact, the development of events was surprisingly similar to Su Rao's prediction.

However, Zhang's motives behind this are far more than that...

For Zhang, money is more important than anything else. When she learned that Su Rao had "taken" a thousand taels of silver from her.

It was like a sharp knife cutting into her heart, the heart-wrenching pain made her furious.

He decided to vent all his anger on the innocent Zhang.

In the secluded backyard of the Su Mansion, Zhang's words were always like imperial decrees. In her eyes, this little matter was just a piece of cake.

Just as she was about to take action against Zhang, the meaningful warning Su Rao gave before entering the palace suddenly flashed through her mind.

A sense of uneasiness inexplicably welled up in his heart. After much hesitation, he finally showed mercy and let Zhang go.

I thought the matter would be settled, but unexpectedly, Su Rao returned to her hometown in a dramatic way.

He also announced loudly that he had won the favor of the prince, and with the help of the prince's prestige, he vowed to restart the investigation into this unjust case!

"Sun Gui, you claimed that Zhang seduced you, but have you ever thought about what she saw in you?"

Rao questioned, her tone full of sarcasm.

Sun Guize looked complacent and answered confidently: "Of course he was attracted by my handsome appearance and outstanding talent."

Lord Song, who was standing aside, looked at Sun Gui's slightly short and fat body and unremarkable appearance.

I laughed secretly in my heart but said nothing.

Su Rao then turned her gaze to the servants who provided false testimony: "Are you sure you witnessed my mother harassing Sun Gui?" Several servants secretly glanced at Zhang with nervous expressions, but still nodded against their will.

"I advise you to tell the truth. Lord Song is a high-ranking official in the Dali Temple. He is very perceptive and no lie can escape his eyes. Falsely accusing others is a serious crime. The punishment may be caning or exile, or even leaving your body to be left in the wilderness!"

Su Rao's voice was as cold as ice, and every word she said revealed unquestionable majesty.

Lord Song thought to himself: …In fact, the law is not that strict.

However, the girl in front of him spoke firmly, and even someone as familiar with the law as he was could not help but secretly admire her deterrent power.

The servants glanced at Lord Song, their eyes full of fear and their hearts filled with even greater panic.

At this time, Lord Song gave a way out: "As long as you tell the truth, are willing to repent and help find out the truth, you can be given a lighter sentence."

Upon hearing this, the servants changed their words one after another: "Servants, we did not see Miss Lin seducing Sun Gui. In fact, it was Sun Gui who was always pestering Miss Lin!"

Su Rao asked: "Then why did you lie?"

Lord Song followed closely behind: "Yes, tell the truth and expose the mastermind behind it, and you will be exempted from responsibility."

The servants glanced at Zhang secretly, but they were all silent and dared not say anything.

"Okay, okay,"

There was a hint of impatience in Master Su's words, but there was also a clear sense of authority, interrupting the tense and noisy debate in the room. "Now everyone knows that Zhang is an innocent person who has been wrongly accused. This matter ends here and there is no need to discuss it further." His eyes swept across everyone, as if carrying an irrefutable force.
