Upon hearing these words, Li began to cry: "I know I am a concubine, and I always humble myself in front of the princess."

"The princess is of noble status, I can't control her, but the master has seen the princess grow more and more crooked over the years, so he can't help but feel anxious."

"He is usually very busy and really has no time to take care of the princess, so he asked me to restrain the princess a little bit."

"I didn't expect the princess to never listen to me. People say being a stepmother is hard, but being a concubine is even harder for me."

After she said this, more people started pointing fingers at Shi Wanwan.

There was some worry in the eyes of Lin Ziyue and others, but Tian Huaijue remained calm. He believed that Shi Wanwan must have other arrangements.

As expected, Shi Wanwan looked at Li calmly and asked, "Are you finished?"

Li said with a look of grievance, "If the princess thinks I'm done, then I'm done."

Shi Wanwan found it funny to hear this. Li was not as good as Shen Yi at making tea.

She turned to Shen Yi and said, "If you have time later, teach Aunt Li a lesson so that she won't embarrass herself outside every day."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Yes."

Shi Wanwan looked at Li and said, "Now that you've finished speaking, it's my turn."

"Before I speak, I want you to see someone first."

The next moment, the shopkeeper's son, Li Yi, came out and shouted, "Mr. Li is lying!"

When the shopkeeper saw Li Yi, his expression changed slightly and he frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Come here quickly!"

Li Yi did not come over. He shouted, "I am the son of the owner of this shop. Today I am killing my own relatives for the sake of justice!"

Tian Huaijue asked: "How are you going to sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice?"

Li Yi replied: "I want to report my father for conspiring with the Li family to defraud the Princess's property!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Yi said loudly: "Dad and Li know very well whether I am talking nonsense or not!"

"This shop originally belonged to the Princess's Mansion. When the eldest princess passed away, you took advantage of the princess's youth and tricked her into taking the shop away from her."

"But Prince Consort Shi feels that if the shop is directly registered under the name of the people in the Shi family, it will be embarrassing if this matter is publicized."

"So after he got the shop, he registered it under my father's name."

"This is the deed to this shop. If you don't believe me, you can take it and examine it carefully."

"This is the contract my father signed with the Shi family after the shop was registered under his name."

After he finished speaking, he unfolded the deed and contract in his hand for everyone to see.

Everyone saw that the shopkeeper's name was indeed on the deed, and Schmeichen's seal was on the contract.

Li and the shopkeeper wanted to snatch the things away, but were stopped by Tian Huaijue and his group.

Li Yi continued, "This shop originally belonged to the princess, not the Shi family!"

"They were the ones who swindled the princess's shop away, and they're still pretending to be good people here. How shameless!"

The onlookers did not expect such a reversal and were all stunned. Li was also dumbfounded.

If the title deed belonged to anyone in the Shi family, without the contract, this matter could still be explained.

But there was a contract, and the name on the title deed was written in the shopkeeper's name, which proved that Li had embezzled the property of the princess's mansion.

"I never thought that Minister Shi could do such a thing!"

"Mrs. Li is so shameless! She actually had the nerve to say that the princess is here to cause trouble!"

"How dare a concubine try to seize the princess's property? How bold!"

Shi Wanwan looked at Li with a half-smile and said, "My father said I was still young and was afraid that evil servants would bully their masters, so he asked me to hand this shop over to you."

"Over the years, every time I asked about the shop's profits, my aunt said it wasn't profitable. It turns out it wasn't that she wasn't making any money, but that she had embezzled my shop."

"I suspect that Li has embezzled more than just this one shop of mine over the years."

"Come here, bring Mrs. Li and the shopkeeper with me. I'm going to Jingzhao Prefecture and ask the prefect to make the decision for me!"

Tian Huaijue, Du Feifan and others responded in unison, holding Li and the shopkeeper and heading towards Jingzhao Prefecture.

Li and the shopkeeper had never expected that they would be betrayed by the shopkeeper's son, and suddenly there were witnesses and evidence!

Qin Feihe was a little free today and felt that he should be able to finish his shift on time.

As he packed his things, he thought, "It was rare for me to finish my shift on time last time. Someone from the Princess's Mansion is here."

"Princess Yongning just razed two mountains from Tianyi Temple the day before yesterday, and the Imperial College just finished its monthly exams. She should be quiet for a while and not cause any more trouble, right?"

Before he could finish this thought, he heard the sound of drums complaining about justice at the door, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

An officer hurried in and said, "Sir, Princess Yongning is suing the concubine Li of the Shi Mansion for conspiring with the shopkeeper to defraud the shop of the princess's mansion."

Qin Feihe sat back down.

He smiled bitterly. He shouldn't have had such thoughts just now!

Ever since Shi Wanwan went to Jingzhao Prefecture to take back the title deed of the princess's mansion, the entire Jingzhao Prefecture has had so much trouble because of her!

The point is that he can't just ignore this matter.

He reached out and pressed his temple, took a deep breath and said, "Bring the prisoner in!"

The officer responded, and soon Shi Wanwan walked in with a large group of people.

Qin Feihe felt even more anxious when he saw that group of people. He knew all the playboys following Shi Wanwan.

Those people are not the scourge of the capital, but they are almost the same. But they all have extremely powerful backers, and none of them are easy to mess with.

It seems that after Shi Wanwan rescued these playboys last time, they all became her followers.

Qin Feihe originally thought that Shi Wanwan was difficult to deal with, but after seeing this group of people, he felt that more difficult things might be yet to come.

Shi Wanwan was a second-rank princess, higher in status than Qin Feihe. She was quite polite when she saw him, and said to him, "Master Qin, please make the decision for me!"

Qin Feihe looked at her and felt a little helpless. If she could come to Jingzhao Prefecture less often, he would offer her a longevity tablet.

Today's case is not complicated in essence. There are witnesses and evidence. The shop was once part of the eldest princess's dowry, so the ownership is very clear.

But since Schmeichen is involved, there are some problems.

Shi Wanwan never wanted this one shop. She said to Qin Feihe, "Sir Qin, my father took more than ten shops from me."

"But I have never received any income from those shops in these years. I suspect the same is true for other shops. Please check it out, sir."

"Here's a list of those shops. Thank you for your hard work, sir!"

As soon as Qin Feihe saw this scene, he knew that she came prepared today.

He had dealt with Shi Wanwan several times and knew that this princess was not an easy person to deal with. He also knew that she had a bad relationship with the Shi family.

He cursed Shi Meichen in his heart, saying that he was not a human being and that he must be mentally ill to bully his own daughter like this!
