This thought made Shen Yan feel happy. She couldn't help but smile slightly, and her mood became much better.

Song Yunfeng met Shen Yan's eyes and did not dodge. He smiled slightly and pretended to be calm and looked away. He once again focused on telling Master Liu, who was writing a petition, a few words to ensure that everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and then slammed the gavel again.

"Silence!" Song Yunfeng's voice was like a cool breeze, instantly stopping the commotion in the hall.

"Who's making a noise in the hall? Tell me your name!" His voice was cold and majestic, like ice piercing the bones, making the people present shiver involuntarily.

Zhang Dashan stood up and revealed his identity without fear.

Everyone thought that Song Yunfeng would immediately punish Zhang Dashan for disrupting the court, but he unexpectedly changed the subject, catching Zhang Dashan off guard.

"You are suing Zhao for embezzling the dowry of the late Zhang. Do you have any evidence?"

Song Yunfeng's voice was calm and steady, and his eyes swept sharply over Zhang Dashan and Liu, as if waiting for their answers.

This sudden question left Zhang Dashan and Liu silent.

They did not expect that Song Yunfeng would lead the topic to the issue of evidence so quickly, which caught them off guard and left them unable to answer for a while.

The entire court fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Dashan and Zhao, waiting for their replies.

At this critical moment, the truth is about to come to light, and everyone's fate will change as a result.

Zhao refused to plead guilty. She angrily accused: "Mr. Zhang, don't be a scoundrel! You should be the one to be questioned about where the dowry went!"

Her voice was sharp and hoarse, full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Zhang Dashan was not willing to be outdone. He angrily retorted, "How dare you! I am not as dirty as you say! Don't you have any conscience?!"

His voice was steady and powerful, as if he wanted to refute Liu's accusations one by one.

The two men each insisted on their own opinions and argued fiercely in the court.

Their dispute made everyone present feel confused and helpless. At this critical moment, the entire court was shrouded in a tense and heavy atmosphere.

Both Zhang Dashan and Zhao seemed very confident. Their words were fierce and firm, making the onlookers present unsure about what this so-called dowry was all about.

Neither party could produce any substantial evidence to support their claims, and Song Yunfeng was somewhat embarrassed to rely solely on verbal litigation.

He knew that in order to resolve this dispute, he must have solid evidence to prove who was right and who was wrong, otherwise it would be impossible to make a fair judgment.

At this moment, Shen Lian, who had been missing since a while ago, appeared in the hall without anyone noticing.

Her sudden appearance caused a commotion among the people present, and everyone's eyes were on her, wanting to know her purpose and intention at this moment.

Two other men entered with Shen Lian. One of them looked older, with a weathered face and a look of determination and calmness in his eyes. The other man made Shen Yan feel puzzled because his face looked very familiar to her.

"Isn't this person... the son of the prefect that the original owner has always had a crush on, Wang Dahai?!"

Shen Yan was suddenly filled with doubt and she subconsciously looked around, trying to confirm her guess.

An ominous premonition arose in her heart, and she began to worry about what the sudden appearance of the prefect's son meant.

Is he here to interfere in this dispute?

Shen Yan's heart suddenly tightened, and she began to try to find clues from his expression, but she could see nothing.

Then, Shen Lian shouted loudly: "I have evidence to prove that the Zhenxi House is the property of my maternal grandfather!"

Her voice echoed throughout the hall, causing everyone present to hold their breath involuntarily, anxiously waiting for her next words.

Shen Lian's sudden appearance and her words caused the entire court to fall into commotion.

Everyone began to talk and speculate what kind of evidence Shen Lian had produced that could change the situation of this dispute.

Song Yunfeng frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and vigilance, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.

Shen Yan gently pinched her sleeves to make sure that the thin paper Zhang Dashan gave her was well placed in her sleeves so as not to lose it at this critical moment. She was full of anticipation and anxiety, eager to know what this mysterious evidence was and whether it could really change the situation.

She was also curious about where Shen Lian got the evidence from.

As Shen Lian took out a booklet from her sleeve pocket, she raised her hands high, ready to show the evidence to everyone present.

This booklet looked a bit old, and the words on the cover were a bit blurred, but from Shen Yan's perspective, it did not seem like an ordinary document, but more like an old family tree or land deed.

This thought made Shen Yan's heart move, and she began to speculate that this evidence might involve some family secrets or historical origins.

Shen Lian finally handed the booklet to the government office, which took it away and placed it neatly on the desk in front of Song Yunfeng.

This scene made everyone present involuntarily quiet down, and everyone stared at the booklet intently, as if expecting what kind of turn the mystery it revealed would bring. Song Yunfeng was watching silently, with a hint of deep thought and vigilance in his eyes. He knew that now was the time to examine this evidence to see if it was enough to change the direction of the entire case.

Song Yunfeng carefully flipped through the evidence, examining every page carefully.

Under the touch of his fingertips, the yellowed papers seemed to be telling dusty stories, and he was like a traveler seeking the truth, tirelessly searching for clues and answers.

At this time, Shen Lian explained: "This is the title deed to the house in Zhenxi."

Her voice was clear and firm, as if endorsing her words.

Shen Yan glanced sideways at Zhang Dashan and found that he was also shaking his head, obviously not aware of the inside story.

She was confused. Logically, the title deed of the house was indeed hidden by Liu, but the ownership on the title deed should still belong to Shen Yan's biological mother, Zhang.

But Shen Lian dared to hand over the land deed so blatantly, which proved that the owner of the land deed was no longer Zhang.

This discovery made Shen Yan's heart move, and she began to think about the various mysteries that might be hidden in it and its impact on the entire dispute.

At this time, Shen Yan set his eyes on Wang Dahai who was standing next to Shen Lian.
