Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Behind the carriage.

Two fully armed servants dragged out a disheveled girl from behind. Her hair was disheveled and she looked like she had been lynched. She looked listless.

Yun Zhenzhen sneered, "Second Master Xu, are you saying that this girl is the one behind such a big thing, and it has nothing to do with anyone else? But this happened so long ago, and your eldest brother didn't find out either. This girl was able to stay here until now, and was only found out after you came back. Isn't this a bit strange?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhenhai also came back to his senses and turned to look at his eldest brother: "Brother, what Ruyi An said is not without reason. I hope you can give me an explanation for this matter!"

Uncle Xu's breath was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to react.

His second brother used to trust him very much, but this time he came back and accused him without saying a word. He used all his strength and tried his best to prove his innocence, which made his second brother and him not alienate each other.

But now, this so-called Ruyi'an man made his second brother start to doubt him again with just one sentence.

The people in Qinjia Village just want to pick on him, right?

Uncle Xu took a deep breath, considered his words in his mind, and prepared to explain it to his second brother.

At this moment, Yun Zhenzhen took out a purse from her pocket and handed it to Xu Zhenhai.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Xu's brows twitched. Why does this thing look a little familiar?

The next second, he suddenly remembered that this was exactly the thing he had asked his servants to deliver a few days ago. How could it be in her hands?

Finished!

In just a short moment, countless thoughts and words emerged in Uncle Xu's mind. He felt that his brain had never worked so fast before.

How can I make this up? This damn Ruyi'an person always ruins my own good things...

Xu Zhenhai had already opened the brocade bag. Inside was a short note, which he read in a flash. The next second, he was completely furious. "Brother, I hope you can give me an explanation. Didn't you say that you didn't know Ling'er was stranded here? Then who is the person who instigated others to slander her innocence? She is your niece. When you did this, did you not consider the family relationship between us? Or have you never considered us two as your family?"

He threw the entire brocade bag directly at Uncle Xu's face.

"Second brother, please listen to my explanation about this matter. I didn't send anyone to do it. I didn't write a letter to the people in Qinjia Village to ask them to destroy Ling'er. You have to believe me..." Master Xu didn't feel really scared until this time. Everything in the house was earned by his second brother's hard work outside. He and his wife had enjoyed wealth and glory for so many years. If they lost his second brother's support, they would really have nothing.

Thinking of this, he actually knelt down on the ground: "Second brother, for so many years, I have always treated Ling'er as my own daughter. How could I do such a heartless thing? Don't you still believe me? Second brother, this must be someone imitating my handwriting, trying to slander me and sow discord between us two brothers. Don't fall for that traitor's evil plan."

Hearing his elder brother kneeling on the ground and crying, Xu Zhenhai was also half-believing and half-doubting.

Yun Zhenzhen silently wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead, and silently affirmed her admiration for Uncle Xu in her heart.

This person is really flexible. He actually knelt down in front of so many people when he was told to do so.

The eldest son of the Xu family is a scheming man with a silver tongue, while Xu Zhenhai is simple-minded and has devoted his heart and soul to business. He has been deceived for so many years and still has no idea what he has become.

She said calmly: "Boss, bring the people in the house out."

Qin Li had been eager to try it out, and Awen couldn't wait to run in to help. The two of them dragged Zhang Qiang, who was tied up like a dumpling, out of the house.

Yun Zhenzhen immediately removed the cloth stuffed in his mouth and looked at him with a smile on her face. "Today, you not only stole a large amount of property from others, but also attempted rape. If you were sent to the government, you would be sentenced to at least ten years. However, if you were instructed by someone else, you would only be considered an accomplice at most. You will be imprisoned for a year or two and then released. Now everyone present is a witness. You can see who instructed you to do such a despicable thing. After all, I am a seventh-rank Anren appointed by the emperor, so I can naturally make the decision for you."

After she finished speaking, she did not take any further action. She just stared at Zhang Qiang, which was really creepy.

After being tied up and beaten in the backyard, Zhang Qiang became completely obedient. With so many people present, if he dared to make false accusations, he would probably end up with evidence of framing others. Yun Zhenzhen might even come up with other ways to torture him, and he would definitely not be able to fight her.

He could only honestly begin to confess: "A few days ago, someone came to me and told me to take action against Miss Xu and tarnish her reputation. Even if I can't get her, I must make her infamous. Then I will give me 500 taels of silver to live a carefree life... At first, I was a little hesitant, but that person said that Miss Xu was unloved at home and no one cared about her. Her father was also an idiot and would not find out about these things. I couldn't resist the temptation and did this. I was also instructed by someone. Please save me..."

"What!?" Xu Zhenhai was displeased when he heard half of it. He walked over and slapped him in the face: "You said that no one cares about my daughter and that I'm a fool. That's simply alarmist!!!"

"Tell me the truth now, who ordered you to do this? Otherwise, I'll have you beaten to death."

Zhang Qiang trembled as he looked towards the crowd. After a long pause, he spoke, "I didn't recognize that person either. I only remember him as a man in his forties with a long beard and a prominent mole at the corner of his eye. He was thin and looked sneaky... But the clothes he wore were made of fine material. I've never worn anything like them in my life."

Xu Linger said calmly, "I remember there was a horse-drawn carriage driver beside my uncle, and he fits this description very well."

"He's just a carriage driver. I don't know who gave him the courage to do such a thing to the young lady of the master's family. I'm afraid there is someone behind him..." Yun Zhenzhen said silently behind him: "I don't know how many masters in the Xu family can order the servants around when Master Xu is not at home. It's hard to guess..."

Yun Zhenzhen didn't mention him in any of her words, but only talked about him, which made Uncle Xu standing by the side so angry that he fumed and glared at her.
