Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

Li Xinglan touched Su Su's head, his tone gentle and indulgent, "Now it's good, both of our reputations are in tatters. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer this in vain."

Li Xinglan held Su Su's hand with his big hand, still protecting her behind him. The strength transmitted from his palm calmed Su Su down.

Not to mention that Su Su did not lose her so-called chastity, even if she really lost it, it was not her fault.

It should never be the victims who should be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Li Xinglan's mood had calmed down considerably. He said to Han Zhiling, "Sir, you heard it too."

Han Zhiren was confused. He heard it, but it was too much to digest in a short time.

Both the brother and sister are werewolves, a little more than ruthless, and they truly don't care what the people around them think.

"Trafficking women and forcing them into prostitution is punishable by 200 strokes of the cane and three years in prison according to Daqi law." Li Xinglan looked at Shen Lin expressionlessly, as if he were looking at a corpse.

Are you scared now? The ultimate punishment is yet to come.

Shen Lin was horrified. He looked at Su Su in disbelief. He really didn't expect that this dead woman didn't even care about her reputation!

How could he possibly endure two hundred strokes of the cane in his current battered state? Wouldn't that be like being beaten to death?!

The will to survive made Shen Lin deny it vehemently, "I didn't do it! What evidence do you have to say that I did it! It's obviously your sister who has no self-control!"

With Li Xinglan around, Su Su was filled with strength and her IQ was also online. Almost the moment Shen Lin finished speaking, she refuted him, "Who said I don't have evidence? Shen Jiaojiao, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, can prove it for me!"

She snorted at Shen Lin, "Do you think that because the people around here are afraid of your retaliation because they think you're a shameless bastard, they dare not testify for me, and that I can't do anything to you?"

Han Zhiling knew Shen Jiaojiao. His son had caught a glimpse of her at a flower party. However, the difference in their social status was too great. He felt that his son was not worthy of the bright moon in the sky.

"It would be great if Miss Shen is willing to testify." Han Zhiling glanced at a yamen runner in the court, who immediately understood and turned to walk towards the stable.

Mounting their horses, the yamen runners whipped their horses as fast as they could and headed straight for the Shangshu Mansion.

While waiting for the news, not only Shen Lin was uneasy, fearing that the young lady would really be invited to testify, but Su Su was also not very sure.

Although her relationship with Shen Jiaojiao seemed to have eased a lot since the store opened, she knew that she didn't like her.

It is really hard to say whether Shen Jiaojiao will come.

In the Shangshu Mansion, the housekeeper ran quickly towards Jinxiu Courtyard. When the maid in Shen Jiaojiao's courtyard saw him, she hurried to meet him.

"Is the young lady in the courtyard?" Steward Yang panted slightly and said to the little maid, "Someone from the government office wants to ask the young lady to be a witness."

Shen Jiaojiao, who was swinging in the yard, heard this. She swung her feet and called Butler Yang over to ask in detail, "What witness?"

Butler Yang recounted everything in detail. Shen Jiaojiao's eyebrows furrowed as she listened, her eyes widening in anger. "You said that cripple sold her to Wanhua Tower?"

Steward Yang nodded, "That's what the bailiff said."

Shen Jiaojiao touched the ground lightly with her toes, and the swing slowly stopped. She asked the housekeeper for confirmation again and again, "Let me prove that she was sold to Wanhua Tower?"

Butler Yang nodded again.

Shen Jiaojiao felt very puzzled. She didn't know what Su Su was thinking. How could this woman ask someone to prove her innocence in public?

"I'm not going!" After saying that, Shen Jiaojiao got off the swing angrily and walked into the room.

Guilt surged in her heart, and Shen Jiaojiao felt that she would never be able to face Su Su in the future. She didn't expect that because she turned a blind eye at the time, Su Su would be deceived into going to a brothel.

Housekeeper Yang was not surprised by this answer, as there were few people who could invite her eldest daughter.

He left in a hurry just like when he came and gave his reply to the yamen runner.

It was the beginning of August, a very hot time, and many people gathered inside and outside the yamen.

Su Su's face was burning hot. She wanted to take off her veil, but was afraid of what people around her would say, so she could only fan herself quietly with her hands.

Seeing her like this, Li Xinglan winked at the blind man Chen next to him. The blind man immediately understood and ran out of the yamen to buy a folding fan.

Li Xinglan took the folding fan and fanned Su Su naturally. He also helped her brush aside the two strands of hair on her forehead that were wet with sweat.

His blatant doting and the affectionate look in his eyes almost blinded the people around him. They always felt like they were eating a handful of dog food for no reason.

Shen Lin lay on the ground, sweat soaking the back of his clothes. If he had known that this mad dog was a sister-loving maniac, he would never have bothered the ugly woman.

Time passed bit by bit, and finally the yamen runner came back to report the news.

Shen Jiaojiao doesn't want to come.

After hearing this answer, Shen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really God’s help!

His tone even hardened. "Even Miss Shen is unwilling to give false testimony, sir. This is enough to prove that these two siblings are slandering us!"

Li Xinglan was not surprised that Shen Jiaojiao didn't come. She was not the only one who could prove it. Mei Niang from Wanhua Tower could also do it.

But she is the Sixth Prince's person. If the matter gets too big and the Sixth Prince is implicated, it will be difficult to deal with.

Li Xinglan lowered his eyes, looked sideways at the complacent Shen Lin, and sneered in his heart.

You idiot, you're still laughing. Do you know that even if the laws of Daqi can't punish you, there's still me. If you fall into my hands, I'll make you live a life worse than death.

Without a witness willing to testify, Han Zhiling would not hastily close the case. After all, the two siblings were prominent figures. "I will conduct a thorough investigation and re-examine the case in three days."

Just as he finished speaking, another voice came from outside the door, "Report!"

Everyone turned around and saw Shen Jiaojiao leading a maid, with her head held high, walking towards them like a proud peacock.

Su Su and Li Xinglan exchanged a glance, and said in unison, "I've made it clear to you."

From the moment he saw Shen Jiaojiao, Shen Lin's face turned dejected. It was over!

"Didn't you say you couldn't come?" Su Su asked, "Why are you here again?"

Seeing Li Xinglan fanning Su Su like a baby, Shen Jiaojiao was also angry. She should have known not to come! As soon as she arrived, she saw such an unlucky scene!

Even if they were siblings, they'd spoiled her too much! None of her three brothers had ever treated her like this!

Shen Jiaojiao turned her face away angrily, her arms folded across her chest, "What do you care about me?"

Then she waved to the maid she brought with her, and the maid immediately told her everything that had happened, and even mentioned the names of several bosses, saying that they had also seen it and talked about it.

The course of events was actually quite easy to investigate, and with Shen Jiaojiao's strong evidence, it became even simpler.

Shen Lin was dragged away by the yamen runners, and his pig-slaughtering screams echoed throughout the yamen.

Han Zhiling slammed the gavel, announced the case was closed, then rolled up his sleeves and turned to retreat into the hall. His movements were so swift that no one had time to react.

Chen Taifu stood in the hall, stunned. He held the bare money tree in his hands, "My Lord... and the small money tree..."
