Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

"Man'er..." Looking at her daughter's resolute profile, Lin felt ashamed.

She actually saw in her daughter the same calmness and composure her father and brother had shown in the past. But what about herself?

For so many years, she has been forced to endure humiliation and swallow her anger. She seems to have almost forgotten how to stand up straight and behave herself.

"Man'er, whatever you want to do, mother will stand by you."

"Mom..." The hot and wet palms told her that her mother was very scared.

But her determined eyes gave her endless courage.

Su Manman shook her mother's hand again, turned around, and raised her little face slightly, "Your Highness, I want to report to the authorities. Today I am the one who was framed, tomorrow it could be someone else."

She paused, her cold eyes sweeping across Xiao Tang, then onto Xueying, and finally gazing at Bai Huanyi. "Such a cancer must not be allowed to remain."

"Su Manman!" Ye Zhi called out in a low voice, with a subtle anger hidden in his tone. "If you really report this to the police, you might end up in jail?"

"clear."

"If you're imprisoned today, regardless of your innocence, you'll become a topic of conversation for others. That won't be good for you."

"clear."

"Even so, you still want to report it to the authorities?" He continued, "I paid for the money, and you won't lose anything. Why do you have to do this?"

His words were spoken lightly.

On the surface, she suffered no loss, but in reality, he knew very well what she would lose.

In her previous life, she had lived with him for five years, and she had long learned to read his expressions.

She clearly saw that the color of his eyes changed several times on his handsome face.

He was angry.

He should be angry.

The owner of this Jinli Embroidery Shop is ostensibly Bai Huanyi's distant cousin, but the real owner behind the scenes is Prince Jin Yezhi.

Today, if she proves her innocence and proves the clerk's false accusation, the business of Jinli Embroidery Shop may be affected.

The amount of loss by then would not be able to be stopped by a mere ten thousand taels.

She should have agreed to let things go peacefully.

Su Manman was silent for a moment, then she said loudly, "I want justice!"

In his previous life, he often came to her courtyard to drink tea and chat with her.

He said she was gentle and understanding.

But where in the world can you find someone so gentle and considerate?

It's just that some people are willing to compromise themselves and follow his wishes.

"Su Manman, don't be ungrateful!"

Bai Huanyi noticed the strange atmosphere between them and said coldly, "Your Highness Prince Jin is magnanimous and can tolerate your disrespect. I can also tolerate your arrogance, but..."

She paused, her voice growing colder. "You have wantonly distorted the facts, framed my maid, and disrespected our Bai Mansion. This is intolerable. Come, arrest him."

The servants and guards surrounding her obeyed the order and rushed forward.

Under her sleeve, Su Manman clenched her hand into a fist, and a dagger slid down her sleeve into her palm.

So what if we both die and the net is broken!

In this life, she no longer wants to be the most obedient person.

There was an uproar in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

This eldest daughter of the Su family is really capable.

Miss Bai from the Prime Minister's Mansion is gentle and virtuous, and treats people kindly. If Miss Su had not been ignorant, how could she have angered Miss Bai.

How can the Su Mansion withstand the pressure from Prince Jin's Mansion and the wrath from the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Miss Su is in trouble!

Everyone watched the development of the situation with either pity, sympathy, or a gloating mentality.

"Don't even move!"

At the critical moment, a man's rough voice was heard outside the gate, and Lord Cao, the Minister of Dali Temple, ran in hurriedly in his official robe.

"Human life? Where is the body?" He ran too fast and accidentally stepped on the Hongmei Aoxue hairpin on the ground.

"Gaba!"

The crisp sound was small, but it echoed throughout the hall.

Lord Cao looked up at his foot, his eyes widening, "What... is going on?"

The Red Plum Blossom Hairpin with its petals stepped on and shattered into pieces was completely crushed under Lord Cao's huge shoe sole.

Everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise and gasped.

A smile appeared on Su Manman's lips.

She was worried about how to prove the authenticity of the item to others, and this Lord Cao just happened to help her a lot!

She bowed, her eyes moistened. "My mother and I came here to shop, and two villains set us up and falsely accused us of damaging something. This is it..."

Her eyes fell on the hairpin on the ground, "You blackmailed us for ten thousand taels of silver."

"Ten thousand taels..." Lord Cao retracted his foot, "What a broken hairpin, made of gold, is not worth ten thousand taels of silver."

"Master Cao is absolutely right!"

A lazy male voice was heard, and at the door, a man in maroon clothes strode in with a cold face.

As soon as he entered the hall, it was as if layers of dark clouds covered the sunlight, and the whole hall suddenly became colder.

He was born extremely beautiful, and his appearance was definitely a masterpiece of God's outstanding beauty.

Compared to the tall Ye Zhi, he is not only tall, but also has broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The texture of his clothes vaguely shows the tight texture.

The killing on the battlefield and the baptism of blood made his temperament cold and murderous, with an aura of oppression that made people dare not approach him.

He walked in, and the cold air followed him in, lifting the corners of his robe. The sound of his footsteps was like stepping on everyone's heart, making them tremble.

"Third brother is here too!" he called out with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Ye Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at him, and asked instead of answering.

"Passing by!"

He answered casually, and when he got closer, he said in a voice that the two of them could hear, "My fourth brother has recently raised a little wild cat. She loves to stir up trouble everywhere. I have to help her get back on track."

"you……"

Su Manman frowned slightly when she saw two people whispering not far away, glancing at her from time to time. She felt complicated for a moment.

"Miss Su, what a coincidence!" Ye Mo seemed to have just seen her and strode over. "I am very interested in your affairs."

He rarely smiles, and his smile never reaches his eyes, making it difficult to discern the deeper meaning.

"Since you can prove your innocence, then get started!"

He always spoke directly. He sat down on the armchair beside him, casually draped his arms over the back of the chair, and lightly tapped the armrest with his slender fingers. "His Royal Highness Prince Jin is here and will make the decision for you."

Ye Zhi was forced and said coldly: "Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone will make the decision for her."

Being impartial is his style.

"The evidence is this hairpin!" Su Manman said with a cold expression.

The girl's delicate white hands picked up the damaged Red Plum Blossom Proud Snow Hairpin, and with her slender white fingertips, she touched the top of the ruby, showing it to everyone: "This gem is crushed by stepping on it. Only when you touch it will red powder be left on your fingertips."

"Master Cao, can we all see the soles of your shoes?" she asked with a bow.

Lord Cao raised his foot, and there was some red powder left on the foot that had stepped on the hairpin.

"Qingluan" she called out.

Qingluan obeyed the order and kicked Xueying in the knee.

She screamed and fell to her knees, with the soles of her shoes exposed to everyone.

There was nothing on the bottom of one shoe, but on the other shoe, apart from the dust on the ground, some red powder was particularly eye-catching.

"She really stepped on it." someone exclaimed.

The girl said calmly, "Just now, before my mother's hand even touched the hairpin, Xiao Tang, a clerk at the Jinli Embroidery Shop, let go."

"I saw clearly that this maid from the Prime Minister's Mansion squeezed through the crowd and crushed the hairpin in the chaos. Then Xiao Tang attacked us mother and daughter, demanding 10,000 taels of silver in compensation."

It is indeed true.

No one contradicted her.

Su Manman took a breath, glanced at everyone, and continued, "Gemstones are the most difficult to cut. To make them into red plum petals requires such a complicated process. If it is a genuine product, it is naturally worth ten thousand taels of silver."

There was something else in her words.

"Miss Su, you don't understand. Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Tang's face turned black and he shouted sternly.

"You talk too much!" Ye Mo threw him a look.

Zhuiyun moved quickly and rushed forward and slapped him a few times.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Ouch!"

Every slap seemed to be slapping everyone's ear.

Every scream seemed to foreshadow something.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

The golden armored guard's palm slapped down and broke the tooth.

After a few slaps, Xiao Tang's nose and face were swollen. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. There were a few broken teeth on the ground.

His whole body went limp, his shoulders trembling like a sieve, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just had.

All the ladies and girls were frightened and silent.

Su Manman glanced at Xiao Tang and met his bottomless black eyes.

His eyes are actually very beautiful.

The tail of the eye is slightly upturned, like a fox eye.

His pupils were very dark, as if the darkest color in the dark night was torn off, washed out and the original liquid was used to stain his eyes.

Therefore, his eyes are very dark, and the luster of stars is hidden in the black.

Black and shiny, transparent and thorough.

His eyelashes were very long, and when he squinted slightly, they concealed the sharp look in his eyes.

When she looked at him, he looked at her too.

As she watched, she couldn't help but smile at him.

He looked slightly stunned, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and forgot what to do for a moment.
