"Ms. Zhao, can you explain to me why the dowry hidden in that house is not my dowry? Why do you want to hide it?" Her voice was cold and firm, which made everyone present feel cold.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao was anxious. She was not someone to be trifled with. She was clearly going to embezzle the dowry. "If you want a dowry, ask your mother for it. Why should I prepare a dowry for you? Your mother sold everything she had and still had money to prepare a dowry for you. It's really unlucky! You don't blame her, but blame me instead!"

Shen Yan couldn't help but feel angry when she heard Zhao's fierce response. She took a deep breath and responded calmly: "Zhao, what you said is totally untrue! I have asked my uncle and other relatives, and they have not received any gifts from Zhang, which means that Zhang did not sell her private property to subsidize her family. Your lie has been exposed! I now ask Lord Song to make the decision for me and find out the truth of this matter."

After hearing Shen Yan's response, Zhao's eyes flashed with anger and shame.

She felt that her lie had been exposed, and she couldn't help but feel even more anxious.

She sneered, "It's been a long time, who knows if your uncle still remembers it? Words can't be trusted, you are framing me!"

After hearing Zhao's denial, Shen Yan became even angrier.

She stared at Zhao coldly and said fearlessly: "Zhao, no matter how much you deny, the truth will eventually come to light! I will do everything I can to find evidence to prove your lies! Lord Song, I ask you to make a fair judgment for the sake of justice and truth!"

Her voice was firm and powerful, as if she was swearing her determination.

Song Yunfeng listened quietly to the argument between the two, his face full of thought.

He knew the importance of this matter and needed to be handled with caution. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "This matter is indeed very complicated and requires a thorough investigation. Shen Yan, you go find evidence, and Zhao Shi, you are also prepared to explain. I will judge this matter fairly."

His words revealed firmness and fairness, which gave a glimmer of hope to those present.

"You shameless woman, not only did you bully my sister, but now you don't even want to give my niece a dowry, making my niece a laughing stock on her wedding day. Don't think I don't know your methods. It was a mistake for my sister to bring you as a dowry maid. You only knew how to climb into Mr. Shen's bed and killed my sister!"

Zhang Dashan suddenly appeared and pointed at Zhao's nose and started scolding him.

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Liu's heart.

Zhao was stung by his accusation, and the blush on her face faded instantly, turning into fear and guilt.

She couldn't refute it because what Zhang Dashan said made sense.

She was once Zhang's dowry maid, but after Zhang became pregnant, she had an affair with Zhang's husband and eventually became a couple with him.

Zhang could only choose to endure it silently and dared not resist because she was afraid that Shen Xiucai would hurt her.

Now, Zhao is still slandering Zhang behind her back, causing Shen Yan to lose her dowry at the wedding and become the object of everyone's ridicule.

Zhang Dashan’s accusations made her feel heartbroken and humiliated.

The people around also began to talk, and they were indignant and dissatisfied with Zhao's behavior.

After all, this matter has caused a lot of uproar, making Shen Yan's marriage a topic of conversation among people, and Liu's actions have become the object of everyone's contempt.

Shen Yan stood quietly by the side, listening to Zhang Dashan's scolding and the discussions of the people around him.

Her heart was full of contradictions and helplessness. She didn't know how to face the current situation, nor did she know how to redress her grievances.

In this scene that has attracted everyone's attention, the truth and justice seem to be getting farther and farther away, but Shen Yan is determined not to give up.

She wants to find evidence, clear her name, and let the people witness the light of truth.

Mr. Shen did not expect that his family affairs would be exposed to everyone and become the object of everyone's attention.

He hurriedly stood in front of Zhao, trying to stop some of the angry curses, and he also didn't want his wife to be beaten.

However, Zhang Dashan had long disliked him and considered him a scumbag comparable to Chen Shimei.

Because Shen Xiucai passed the examination and boasted that scholars were superior to others, Zhang Dashan's sister Zhang suffered a lot of grievances. Not to mention that she lived like a maid in the Shen Mansion, Shen Xiucai obviously favored his wife and killed his concubines, leaving Zhang no way out.

Now, he was determined to vent his anger!

Zhang Dashan kept knocking around with the crutch in his hand tirelessly, completely ignoring Shen Xiucai's attempts to stop him.

The crutch fell with a bang, hitting Shen Xiucai's body. He frowned in pain and stepped back repeatedly.

"what!"

Shen Xiucai groaned in pain, but Zhang Dashan remained unmoved, his eyes flashing with anger and dissatisfaction.

He manipulated the crutch in his hand as if venting years of resentment.

The people around also began to talk about it. Some expressed their understanding and support for Zhang Dashan's behavior, believing that it was revenge for injustice; others were angry and dissatisfied with his violent behavior, believing that such lynching should not be carried out by an individual.

Shen Yan looked at this scene and felt distressed and helpless.

She knew that this fight was not what she wanted, but she could not control the development of the situation.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her anxiety.

In this chaotic scene, people's emotions became increasingly agitated, while truth and justice seemed to be getting further and further away.

Shen Yan was afraid that Zhang Dashan would also be sentenced to cholera in court, so he quickly pushed his fat body forward and inserted himself between the two of them.

She stood between Zhao and Zhang Dashan, pulling Zhang Dashan's sleeve hard, trying to stop his angry impulse.

"Uncle! Stop hitting me! We are in court!"

Shen Yan's voice was sharp and full of anxiety. She knew very well that it was crucial to stay calm at this time.

She glanced at Song Yunfeng secretly and saw that he was talking to the master beside him with his head tilted, his expression seemed indifferent and calm.

Shen Yan secretly felt lucky that Song Yunfeng did not get involved, otherwise the situation would have become even more chaotic.

It just so happened that Shen Yan met Song Yunfeng's gaze, and the two of them looked at each other.

At that moment, she felt a subtle emotion, which seemed to be a kind of concern and indulgence from Song Yunfeng towards her.

Shen Yan suddenly felt a surge of joy in her heart. She didn't expect Song Yunfeng to support her so silently.

Perhaps, this seemingly indifferent man still has a warm side deep in his heart.

"Could it be...he is deliberately letting me vent my anger?"

A thought suddenly popped up in Shen Yan's mind. She felt that there was a hint of ridicule and comfort in Song Yunfeng's eyes, as if telling her that everything would be fine.
