The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Hearing this, Qin Miaoxi frowned and asked in a low voice: "Master Ye? But Ye Junyan's...?"

"Sister!" Lu Shiya snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain. "She has always been like this, relying on her status as the daughter of a Grand Secretary to look down on everyone. However, I never thought she would stoop to the point of bullying the elderly."

She and Ye Lingrong were like two magnets with the same poles. Every time they met, they would have an argument. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Lingrong's brother, Ye Junyan, was her good friend, she would have put Ye Lingrong in a sack and given him a beating.

Qin Miaoxi looked downstairs thoughtfully, frowning slightly: "But she doesn't seem to be bullying the old man."

"Huh?" Lu Shiya was stunned and looked in the direction her gaze went.

At this moment, downstairs, Ye Lingrong was surrounded by a group of people, and her face looked extremely ugly.

The old woman tugged at her skirt tightly, refusing to let go, begging, "Miss, please spare me! I didn't mean to block your way, but you stepped on my vegetables and ruined them. If you don't compensate me, I won't have money for food or medicine! Please, have mercy on me!"

Ye Lingrong waved her hand impatiently, her tone full of disgust: "Come here, drag her away! Don't dirty my eyes!"

Several maids behind her immediately stepped forward, roughly grabbed the old woman's arms, and tried to drag her away.

The old woman struggled, her voice shrill: "Miss, please be kind! I really can't live anymore!"

When the people around saw this, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation. They all stood up for the old woman and pointed fingers at Ye Lingrong.

"Whose lady is this? Why is she so unreasonable?"

"That's right. She looks pretty, but she is this kind of person."

"What's the point of bullying the elderly? Go bully the powerful!"

Ye Lingrong's face flushed red from being accused, and she roared angrily, "Shut up! All of you, shut up!"

However, her roar did not make the people retreat, but instead aroused greater dissatisfaction.

"Why, you didn't allow me to tell you about what you did? Hurry up and compensate me, or we won't let you go!"

"Yes, pay me! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving today!"

As they spoke, the people had already blocked the passage, and Ye Lingrong was trapped in the middle, with no way forward or backward. Her maids tried to push the crowd away, but the people were too numerous and powerful to help.

Seeing this, Qin Miaoxi frowned and was about to go downstairs to stop it, but was stopped by Lu Shiya.

"Don't worry, let me do it."

A sly glint flashed in Lu Shiya's eyes, and she immediately shouted, "Ye Lingrong, are you bullying me again? You're just a dog that can't change its nature!"

The crowd automatically made way for a passage. Ye Lingrong saw Lu Shiya watching her having fun, and her expression suddenly turned ugly: "Lu Shiya! How dare you laugh at me!"

Lu Shiya sneered: "What's wrong with laughing at you? For all the shameful things you've done, I'm giving you face by not hitting you."

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? You bully an old woman who can't even lift a finger. What kind of ability do you have?"

Ye Lingrong was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Lu Shiya and cursed, "Don't think you're great just because you're a princess! My father is a university scholar. What right do you have to accuse me of bullying? It's clearly this old woman who teamed up with the people to bully me."

"Bully you? With your arrogant and domineering look, who would dare to bully you?" Lu Shiya couldn't help but sneer. Didn't she see that the bullied people knelt on the ground? Who was bullying whom?

"The daughter of a Grand Secretary can be so lawless? I want to see how your father will save his face if this incident gets out!"

The two of them were on edge, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Suddenly, Lu Shiya felt her sleeve being pulled, and saw Qin Miaoxi looking straight at the old woman with a solemn expression.

The old woman wiped her tears and said, "Miss, as long as you compensate me with five taels of silver, I will not bother you."

But Ye Lingrong sternly refused even the ten taels of silver. "I didn't break it, why should I pay for it? Leave now, or I'll accuse you of cheating me out of money."

The old woman fell to her knees with a cry, beating her chest and stamping her feet, sobbing bitterly. Her voice was so shrill that it seemed as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances in her heart: "Miss, you can't bully ordinary people like this! I will not live anymore, I will not live anymore!"

Her cries drew the attention of the surrounding people, their eyes filled with sympathy and indignation. Some sighed softly, while others shook their heads and accused her. The scene became chaotic for a moment.

However, in this atmosphere of compassion, a cold and sarcastic voice suddenly rang out: "If you don't want to live, then die."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the playful woman next to Lu Shiya actually said such cold and heartless words. She was Qin Miaoxi.

Qin Miaoxi raised her hand and pointed at a sturdy tree not far away. Her tone was understated, but every word was as sharp as a knife: "Hey! There's a tree over there. It would be best to kill it by running headfirst into it. It would be a clean and neat death."

The old woman was stunned by her words, her crying stopped abruptly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth, seemed to have made up her mind, and suddenly lowered her head, pretending to bite her tongue.

Seeing this, Qin Miaoxi sneered, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "Don't even think about biting your tongue. Biting your tongue won't kill you, and the only one who will be hurt is you."

The old woman's movements suddenly froze, and her face turned pale and blue. It was obvious that Qin Miaoxi's words had hit a sore spot.

She raised her head, her eyes full of resentment, but she didn't dare to attack, so she could only stare at Qin Miaoxi.

The people around were also stunned by Qin Miaoxi's words, and no one dared to speak for a moment.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, leaving only the old woman's heavy breathing.

Qin Miaoxi, however, seemed completely unconcerned. She slowly walked up to the old woman, looking down at her with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "What, you're not crying anymore? You're not making a fuss anymore? Or are you not planning on dying at all and are just trying to gain sympathy?"

"Girl, I have no grudge against you, why are you forcing me?" The old woman looked at her pitifully and accused her.

Qin Miaoxi looked her straight in the eye and said word by word, "Because I cannot stand people who are disrespectful to their elders, cheating, and lying."

She pointed at the soles of the old woman's shoes and said, "You keep saying that Miss Ye ruined the dishes, but why are Miss Ye's shoes spotless, while your soles are stained?"

The old woman immediately pulled her shoes back under her skirt.

"And you said you just picked these vegetables today..." Qin Miaoxi stepped forward and turned her bamboo basket upside down. All the vegetables in the basket rolled out, and immediately emitted a foul odor.

The people covered their noses and said in disgust, "Why is it so smelly?"

"It came from the basket. The vegetables are all rotten."

"You black-hearted person, actually using rotten vegetables to cheat people out of money."

Qin Miaoxi approached, "You're just trying to use a basket of rotten vegetables to cheat someone out of you. You only want five taels of silver because you know rich people won't argue with you on the street over a few pieces of silver. It's beneath their dignity. So they'll definitely give you the silver, and you'll make a net profit of five taels."

The old woman was forced into a corner and could only lower her head, not daring to look her in the eye.

Judging from her reaction, it is clear who is right and who is wrong.

"How can there be such a person? How shameless."

"We just spoke up for her, ugh!"

Qin Miaoxi stared at the old woman coldly, "Why don't you leave now? Are you waiting for the yamen runners to come and arrest you?"

The old woman crawled away in shame.

Suddenly, thunderous applause rang out in the arena, and Lu Shiya praised: "Well done!"

She nodded in appreciation, and even Ye Lingrong looked at her a few more times, with curiosity in her eyes.

Suddenly, a puzzled voice came from the crowd, "What are you doing?"
