The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

In fact, he believed what Shen Yan said. This family didn't look simple. They might work together to plot against Shen Yan.

But in court, only evidence can decide everything.

The town was not a big place, so it didn't take long for the yamen runners to bring back the people who had delivered the dowry that day, as well as the matchmaker.

These people had just arrived and had not yet figured out what was going on. They did not expect that Song Yunfeng was sitting in the court while Shen Yan was suing below. This was the first time they had seen a newlywed couple confronting each other in court.

"Bring them up!" the county magistrate ordered, bringing back the people who were carrying the dowry that Shen Yan had just mentioned.

Shen Yan stayed in the hall, a hint of joy burning in her heart.

She knew this was just the beginning and that it would be a much tougher battle, but she would not back down.

Meanwhile, the county magistrate has launched an investigation and is interrogating the dowry escort harshly in the hope of finding the truth.

Shen Yan also prepared her evidence and waited for the decision of the law.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Shen Yan, the matchmaker actually gave her a lecture, and it was obvious that she knew which side she was on.

"Hey, Miss Shen."

"You've only been married for three days, and you've been divorced today. This is unique in our town. I've taken on so many marriages, but you're the first one to be divorced the fastest."

The matchmaker's words were full of sarcasm. She didn't notice the change in Song Yunfeng's expression in the court, nor did she see Zhao, who was cowering in the distance and was beaten to pieces.

"Take my word, Miss Shen. Just apologize sincerely. Our Master Song will not abandon you, right?"

Shen Yan frowned slightly at the matchmaker's sarcasm, but she was not defeated.

"Mrs. Xi, you put it so lightly." Shen Yan's voice was calm, but firm. "I was divorced three days after my marriage. I am not innocent, but this is not my fault alone."

Her words made everyone present look sideways, and they all speculated about what secret this Miss Shen had.

"However, what I am suing for today is not about divorcing my wife." Shen Yan took a deep breath and continued, "In other words, you, Mrs. Xi, made a wrong guess. My marriage with Mr. Song is not over yet."

Her words stunned Mrs. Xi for a moment, as she seemed to have not expected Shen Yan to be so determined.

"That means Miss Shen has something else to do today? Could it be that Miss Shen was too reckless and hurt Mr. Song's body, and was found to have taken drugs today?"

The matchmaker's tone was mostly sarcastic, but Shen Yan didn't care much. Now was not the time to explain these things.

"I was not the one who gave the medicine that day. As for who did it, I believe most of you know the answer today." After saying that, Shen Yan gave Zhao in the corner a look. Zhao didn't dare to look up, for fear of revealing a flaw.

Shen Yan's voice was soft but firm and powerful. She was unwilling to bow down to the ridicule and criticism of others. She had her own dignity and bottom line.

"Everyone knows you. You were so proactive on the first night of your marriage. All the neighbors heard it. You are really shameless."

The matchmaker frowned, obviously not expecting Shen Yan to respond in this way, so she immediately retorted, causing the people around who were watching the show to laugh at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan felt very embarrassed, but now was not the time to worry about these details. The most important thing now was to solve the problem.

Song Yunfeng stood aside with a serious expression. He was observing Shen Yan's performance and had some insights in his heart.

"You bold bridesmaid, Shen Yan is now going to sue you for conspiring to swallow her dowry. Is this true? Come on, tell the truth!"

Faced with the ridicule of the matchmaker and the laughter of the people around her, Shen Yan felt embarrassed, but she knew that now was not the time to argue about these details with the matchmaker.

"Mrs. Xi, you are deliberately changing the subject."

Shen Yan's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes, "What I am suing today is about the disappearance of my dowry."

When the matchmaker heard this, she immediately smiled disdainfully, "Miss Shen, this is nonsense. How could we steal your dowry? If you can't find it, it's because you are not careful enough. Why blame others?"

The people around followed the old lady's explanation, "That's right, Miss Shen, what you said is too ridiculous."

Shen Yan knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her.

Xi Po and others united and firmly denied the accusation of stealing the dowry, while Zhao also refused to admit it.

She felt helpless. She had evidence but couldn't produce it.

Song Yunfeng stood aside with a gloomy face. He clearly saw Shen Yan's predicament, but he also knew that now was not the time to reveal the truth. At the moment, Shen Yan could not prove her innocence, and the unity of Xi Po and others made things more complicated.

"Ms. Shen, since you can't provide evidence, don't accuse others indiscriminately."

Song Yunfeng sighed deeply, his voice low and cold.

Shen Yan felt helpless, but she also knew that she had no other choice.

When Xi Po and others saw that Shen Yan was unable to provide conclusive evidence, they took the opportunity to file a complaint, claiming that Shen Yan was framing them and attempting to destroy their reputation.

They gathered together and told Song Yunfeng that Shen Yan's accusations were nonsense and asked Song Yunfeng to make a fair judgment.

"Sir Song, Miss Shen accused us of stealing her dowry out of nowhere. This is really too much!"

Wiping away tears, the matchmaker said, "We have been doing business in this town for many years and have never encountered theft. Now she is accusing us for no reason. It's simply nonsense!"

Zhao also agreed: "Yes, Mr. Song, our Xi Po has always been a good person in the town. How could she do such a dirty thing? Everything Shen Yan said is a lie!"

Others also expressed their support, claiming that Shen Yan was making up stories and trying to deliberately frame Xi Po and others.

This momentum of public opinion quickly formed, and onlookers began to talk about it, and most of them tended to believe the statements of Xi Po and others.

Song Yunfeng frowned, he knew that this situation was very unfavorable to Shen Yan.

Xi Po and others are united and powerful, while Shen Yan is isolated and helpless and unable to save the situation.

"Happiness, I will consider what you say."

Song Yunfeng's face was solemn, and his voice was deep, "But I need time to review this matter, and I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."

When Xi Po and others heard what Song Yunfeng said, they were delighted. They knew that as long as they delayed time, it would become even more difficult for Shen Yan to gain a foothold, and then they would be able to succeed.

Shen Yan stood aside, facing the accusations from Xi Po and others and the pressure from public opinion, her heart filled with struggle and helplessness.

She knew she had to find evidence as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to clear her name.
