He decided to go and see for himself to see if what the Lin family said was true.

Dr. Kobayashi helped Dr. Lin down the stairs, and the others followed behind.

When they arrived, the government office had just opened and people nearby who liked to watch the fun had already gathered around.

Ye Qing looked around and found that everyone from Yejia Village was there.

There was a carriage parked at the door, and Ye Xi and Liu Rui got out. They were worried about Lin Wenxuan, so they came over to check on him.

The scholars in Wu'an City vaguely heard a rumor yesterday that Lin Wenxuan was going to sue someone in court, and some people were so curious that they came over to take a look.

~Mighty~Mighty~

The lively atmosphere around suddenly became quiet.

The people in Kaoshan Village felt nervous when they saw Sun Shicheng and the lawyer beside him standing not far away.

Lin Wenxuan was supported by Lin Dalang and stood in the lobby, waiting for the county magistrate to come.

The county magistrate quickly sat down at the table and looked at the people in the lobby.

Lin Dalang knelt down and saluted, and Lin Wenxuan bowed his hands in greeting. He was a scholar and could meet officials without kneeling.

"Bring Sun Youyou up."

At the order given by County Magistrate Zheng, a bailiff brought Sun Youyou over.

Sun Youyou's jewelry had been taken off and she was wearing the prison uniform of the women's prison. She was forced to kneel on the ground by the prison guards.

Sun Youyou had disheveled hair and a pale face, and looked around in confusion.

When she saw Sun Shicheng, tears welled up in her eyes and she regretted her decision. She would rather obey her family and get married than stay in jail, where there were only cannibalistic demons who stole her food and beat people.

Sun Shicheng looked at his sister with heartache. Seeing her miserable appearance, he also hated Lin Wenxuan.

When people around saw that the person brought up was a girl, they heard some discussions.

"A man suing a woman, this is really a new thing. What do you think the woman did? Could it be that she was caught cheating by this man?" After saying this, there was still a burst of obscene laughter.

The man next to him also looked excited. "Why don't I see other men? Will they be pressed up soon? I'm glad I came here today. I want to take a good look and tell my neighbors about it when I get back."

The people in Kaoshan Village frowned, wondering what was going on. Only at this moment did they realize that what people say can be scary.

"Who is in the hall?"

Sun Youyou was frightened by the solemn atmosphere in the lobby, especially the yamen runners on both sides holding water and fire sticks.

She sobbed, but still gave her name.

Sun Shicheng was somewhat fortunate because this was in Wu'an City and no one knew the Sun family.

After winning the lawsuit, he would go home to report to his father, fake Sun Youyou's death, and marry her off far away.

We can’t let her harm the other sisters in the family. Once her reputation gets out, all the married girls in the Sun family will be implicated.

"My little girl Sun Youyou, sir, I am wronged."

There were only Sun Youyou and Lin Wenxuan in the hall now. Lin Dalang had already stepped back and came over to watch the hall with the Lin family.

The lawyers on both sides are ready and will take the stage when they are needed.

The county magistrate repeated the two men's places of origin and names and confirmed them.

"Lin Wenxuan, what are you telling Sun Youyou about?"

Lin Wenxuan's face still looked bad, and he replied weakly.

"Sir, I accuse her of drugging students and trying to harm them."

The onlookers were excited. This man was a scholar. It must be that the girl wanted to become his wife because she saw how handsome he was.

"This girl is so beautiful, are you stupid, scholar? It's a matter of mutual consent, so you don't have to marry her." The man who made the obscene remarks just now continued to perform steadily.

There was laughter all around, but the women watching had a different feeling about Lin Wenxuan. He was different from the men nowadays. He would not bring home all the good and bad smells.

When the scholars saw this scene, although they agreed with the man's words in their hearts, they also admired Lin Wenxuan's spirit of remaining calm.

In the eyes of scholars, this is a romantic and elegant thing and is not worth mentioning at all.

Sun Shicheng looked unhappy and glared at the man who spoke.

The man had never seen Sun Shicheng, and he was surrounded by people he knew, so he became bolder.

"Why are you staring at me? The girl doesn't like you."

Sun Shicheng's face turned blue with anger, and he threw his sleeves away, "Vulgar."

The man was unwilling, "If you think it's vulgar, don't stay here."

Sun Shicheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, his mind was all on his sister.

"Your Excellency, you are innocent. I really don't know how the medicine got into the tea. I asked the servant to serve the tea, and I never touched the cup of tea." This was the plan that Sun Youyou had been thinking of all night.

Yesterday, due to Ye Dalang’s obstruction, the Sun family was unable to go to the prison to see Sun Youyou, and had no time to discuss countermeasures.

Sun Shicheng's eyes lit up. He discussed with the lawyer and refused to admit it, and put the blame on the housekeeper.

Butler Sun is the eldest son of the family. All the old and young in the family live in the Sun family. He should know what to say. As long as he takes responsibility for this matter, the Sun family will never treat his family unfairly.

The situation in Kaoshan Village is indeed a bit tense. If Butler Sun takes charge of these things, there will be nothing they can do.

"Sir, it was Sun Youyou who had the drug administered. She had people stop the students from leaving."

The people around you all understood what was going on. They thought, "Why would they let you go after they drugged you?"

Sun Youyou argued, "It's unfair. I saw that he couldn't stand steadily, so I asked the maid to support him. I didn't go to him to avoid suspicion. Lin Wenxuan, I saw that you are my brother's classmate. I asked someone to tell you that my brother was not at home, but you insisted on coming over to wait. Are you worthy of the friendship between you and my brother?"

Sun Youyou turned the tables and falsely accused Lin Wenxuan.

The onlookers are there to watch the fun. They don't care what the real story is. As long as the story is outrageous enough, they will love to watch it.

The public opinion changed again. It was thought that Lin Wenxuan was attracted by the girl's beauty, but when the girl refused, he accused her of drugging her.

This statement was supported by more people, and they thought the story was going in the right direction. They said no one would refuse a girl's embrace.

The Lin family was unhappy when they heard people around them slandering Lin Wenxuan, but they couldn't shut their mouths and stop them from speaking.

Lin Wenxuan didn't even look at Sun Youyou, he only spoke to the county magistrate.

"Sir, I have witnesses. The officials in the yamen that my eldest brother asked for help at the time went in together to rescue me. When several officials asked about my whereabouts, the Sun family did not admit that I had been there at all. They broke in and rescued me." Lin Wenxuan recounted the scene at that time.

Several yamen runners in official uniforms came out to answer and confirmed Lin Wenxuan's statement.

Sun Youyou kept denying it and said she didn't know anything. She had already seen the person standing next to her eldest brother, who must have come to help her.

She knows very well that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, and the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make. As long as she doesn't admit it, nothing can be done to her.

Sun Shicheng looked at his sister who was crying so hard. He already believed her words a little bit. He had never believed that his sister could do such a thing.
