She continued with a sneer, "There are so many bad guys out there. If one of them takes a fancy to your handsome looks and wants to kidnap you, I'm afraid you can only lament your bad luck."

Then he waved his hand and said, "What are you doing standing there? Get started."

"As ordered."

Several servants quickly controlled Shen Xuanyi who was struggling and resisting.

After all, he is only an eight-year-old child. No matter how hard he tried to hold on before, he is now timid.

He knew that Shen Muxue was really angry and was not joking.

She begged for mercy with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please don't chase me away."

"Don't call me Big Sister. I'm just your maid. Your only sister is Shen Leyao. So, don't try to get close to me anymore. You don't deserve to call me that."

After seeing the guards take Shen Xuanyi away from the scene, Shen Muxue immediately returned to her own yard.

On the other side of the Moon Gate, Shen Miaoer pressed her hand to her chest, her heart filled with astonishment.

I didn't expect Shen Muxue to be so cold-blooded and ruthless.

He was so cruel as to expel even his own brother.

Now that she was also living under someone else's roof, she didn't dare to say anything more. She had to pretend that she didn't see anything. Protecting herself was the best policy.

Just when I was about to leave.

But then she heard An Lan talking to Shen Muxue: "Miss, the black market boss's men have already delivered the remaining money."

This made Shen Miaoer feel something was amiss.

So I took a peek inside through the patterns on the window.

I just happened to see a man dressed as a servant handing a box of money to Shen Muxue.

An Lan said happily, "I never thought our family could sell so much silver. Not only could we buy a property, but we also have quite a bit of savings. I'm afraid even the other party didn't guess that the real creditor was you, young lady. Those who borrowed at high interest rates only got 30% of the profit in the end. However, they took care of the whole process, which really saved you a lot of unnecessary trouble..."

After hearing these words, Shen Miaoer stood there in a daze, her face showing an expression even more shocked than before.

I didn't expect Shen Muxue to be able to use such powerful tactics and even attack my own family.

This was like a huge secret that made Shen Miaoer's heart confused. She accidentally kicked a dry branch under her feet.

"Click"

When the voice suddenly sounded, An Lan immediately stopped talking. The two looked at each other and looked over here at the same time.

The master and servant walked over slowly.

Even though there was no one in front of the Moon Gate.

However, a conspicuous footprint was left on the ground.

An Lan said anxiously, "Miss, it's all my fault. I'm afraid someone else has overheard what we were discussing."

Shen Muxue glanced at the waist-deep dry grass not far away and smiled. "It doesn't matter. Even if someone heard it, what would happen? If they want to report it, it will only cause more trouble. A smart person will choose to remain silent. On the other hand, if a foolish person takes the initiative to stir up trouble, then we can teach him a lesson as he wishes."

After saying that, he walked straight forward.

An Lan thought about it for a while and felt that it made a lot of sense, so she quickly chased after him: "That's absolutely right. These people's food and drink expenses are all provided by the young lady now. If they leave because of such a small matter, it will actually reduce their expenses..."

After they left, Shen Miaoer came out of hiding and quickly left the place.

While he was considering whether he should tell Aunt Zhou about this, he suddenly heard Jin's voice yelling and cursing outside the door, accusing Shen Muxue of framing the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Miaoer was surprised and felt an inexplicable pleasure.

Without even changing his clothes, he rushed outside to watch the situation unfold.

Outside.

I saw Jin hugging her son and cursing for a long time.

Although Shen Xuanyi was still very young, he was already sensible. He felt very embarrassed when the crowd was talking about him. He grabbed his mother's clothes and begged, "Mom, let's go back to the room and talk about this. Please don't make a fuss anymore, okay?"

"Be quiet, kid, what do you know? Now the whole family has been blinded by this woman, and all the misfortunes are due to her scheme. Today I will let everyone know how evil Shen Muxue is!"

When Shen Muxue went out to face the crowd, the crowd made the courtyard gate seem particularly crowded. She looked around and apologized lightly, "I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm really embarrassed to let you witness such a farce. This is my family matter. Please leave."

Shen Muxue was wearing a purple chiffon dress, with her long hair tied up with just a hairpin, showing her graceful and gentle appearance.

This otherworldly image contrasts sharply with the aggressive Kim, who seems to be an unreasonable and rude person.

"Everyone, please stay. I want everyone here to witness this today. I want to reveal just how sinister her hidden true self truly is."

Jin understood that even if Shen Zhenwu did not appear at this moment, he must be aware of what was happening outside the mansion.

As long as it can be proved that all the crimes were committed by Shen Muxue.

You may be able to turn things around.

Then, Jin ordered Madam Liu to bring the black market owner and informed everyone, "It was this woman who disguised herself as a man and instructed black market merchants to raise prices, defrauding me of one million taels of silver. She then sent people to embezzle the Prime Minister's property for her own treasury. All the misfortunes my family has suffered are due to Shen Muxue's malicious schemes. Shopkeeper, please think carefully about this: was she the one who came to the shop to discuss business that day?"

All eyes were focused on the businessman.

Waiting for his next words.

Although her expression remained calm, Shen Muxue couldn't help but secretly tighten her handkerchief.

She never expected that the other party could find the person at the helm as evidence.

It wasn't that she was worried about being recognized, but that someone had been bribed to frame her.

After all, no one understands the power of gossip better than she does.

If Jin succeeds in overturning the verdict this time, the situation he faces will become extremely critical.

In recent times, every move in the chess game has been made in secret.

Once the matter is made public, it means that the entire duke's mansion and even the royal family will regard themselves as a thorn in their side.

The businessman carefully examined the lady's face and said hesitantly, "This lady definitely gives me a sense of déjà vu..."

At this moment, a deep and loud voice came from a distance: "The imperial edict has arrived--"

As the Royal Guards came escorting them, the surrounding people consciously gave way.

Peng Haiming stepped forward, holding the imperial decree wrapped in golden silk, and announced, "Shen Muxue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, accepts the decree."

The people around him knelt down in unison to show their respect.

Shen Muxue also hurriedly knelt down to accept the decree.

The voice continued to read: "By the will of Heaven and the Emperor's special permission. In view of your intelligence, virtue, and generosity in providing relief to the victims during the cold winter, and your remarkable assistance in solving difficult cases at the Supreme Court, I now formally confer you the title of Princess of Shengning County. I hope you will obey my orders!"

Hearing this, everyone present was extremely surprised.
