Transmigrating into a book to save her best friend, her sickly husband vies for her affections every

The location where they caught the person was perfect; it was right off the main and second wives' usual route.

The thug, who had been brought in, saw Tingyao's agitated state and cried out, "Tingyao, please save me! You said that even if I were captured, you would beg your family to let me go!"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Tingyao remained calm and asked in return, "Are you sure it's me?"

The madman broke free from the old woman and lunged at Tingyao to grab her hand, his voice filled with genuine emotion, "Tingyao, why are you so cold to me? It's me! Don't you recognize me?"

Tingyao took two steps back. In her past life, he had grabbed her hand. It was disgusting!

Ji Anzhi stepped forward and slapped him across the face, yelling, "Don't be rude to my sister!"

Ji Chunhe stepped forward and hugged Tingyao, genuinely protecting her. He then scolded the old women, "Why aren't you pulling this person away from me who's spouting nonsense!"

Ji Chenbi remarked, "Big sister has been in solitary confinement all along, so it's really possible..."

"Shut up, Xiao Wu." Ji Chunhe scolded her younger sister. They were all sisters in the same family, sharing both glory and misfortune. She raised her voice, "I believe my older sister. You madman, who gave you the right to ruin my sister's reputation!"

Tingyao took the initiative to step forward, and Ji Anzhi and Ji Chunhe reached out to pull her back, but she nimbly dodged them.

"Neither of us can give a convincing story, so no one will believe us. Since you claim you came from my yard, then walk the path to my yard now and let me see how you managed to enter under such tight surveillance. Untie him!"

Ji Anzhi and Ji Chunhe exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Can't you hear what your sister said?!"

The madman was released but dared not move.

Tingyao smiled slightly, "Why aren't you leaving?"

“Ah Ting, I was just running around yesterday, otherwise how could I have been caught?” the madman said. “Are you really going to pretend you don’t know me?”

Tingyao continued, "So where do you usually come from to meet me in secret?"

The madman came prepared and quickly explained the route into the mansion.

Tingyao was waiting for this sentence: "Blindfold him, take him to the place he mentioned, and make him walk there again."

Sun shouted, "Tingyao, are you trying to make a scene?!"

"Isn't it Auntie who's going to cause trouble?" Ji Chunhe wasn't afraid of Madam Sun at all. "I think eldest sister is right. I think this madman is here to frame eldest sister!" Tingyao knew why Ji Chunhe was helping her.

Her marriage was already arranged with her childhood sweetheart; they had already exchanged betrothal gifts. If word got out, her marriage would be over.

Madam Yang didn't want this to come true and ruin her daughter's marriage, and Old Madam Ji also gave a wink to Xia, the old nanny beside her.

Ji Anzhi felt that this matter was related to Madam Sun, so she took the initiative to stop her, saying, "Mother, let's go to Sister's Shuangyue Courtyard and wait there first."

She deliberately emphasized the words "Shuangyue Courtyard," because it was her courtyard.

Tingyao thought Ji Anzhi was strangely cute.

However, even with this most basic frame-up, the Sun family and this madman brother still managed to coordinate very well.

Today, she intends to make good use of this madman as a tool to deliver a heavy blow to the Sun family.

When the Madman Brothers arrived at Shianzhai, everyone looked grim.

The madman immediately said, "I left my belt in your room yesterday! Your pillow is green, your blanket is blue, and the sachet hanging by your bed is embroidered with bamboo leaves and dragonflies."

Ji Chenbi stared wide-eyed and turned to look, while the others entered the main hall and sat down.

When Ji Chenbi returned, she was speechless. "Big sister, what you..."

Ji Anzhi felt suffocated as soon as the madman finished speaking. If anything happened to her sister, Zhao Siwei would not let her off the hook.

Tingyao sipped her tea, then calmly asked, "How long did it take to catch the man?"

The old woman beside Madam Sun said, "It's past midnight."

Tingyao then asked the madman, "How long did it take you to get to my yard?"

The madman said, "Hai Shi (9-11 PM)!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Anzhi immediately smiled.

Tingyao put down her teacup and knelt down in front of Old Madam Ji. "Grandmother, I have something to confess to you and admit my mistake." She cupped her hands and said, "Yesterday at Hai Shi (9-11 PM), I sneaked out of the mansion to visit the Meng family. My second sister, Madam Meng, and those who escorted me on the way can all testify to this."

Grandma Ji glared at her. "You ran away again?" Then she realized she shouldn't say that now. Compared to what was happening, running away was at least an alibi. She looked at Ji Anzhi again. "Is it true?"

Ji Anzhi also knelt down and admitted her mistake, "It's true, Meng** isn't feeling well, so Aunt Meng came to me for help." She looked at Tingyao and told her not to be afraid, and told the truth, "Sister came back at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), and the Meng family can also testify to that."

Before Madam Sun could speak, Ji Chun and Yu Guang caught sight of her and raised their voices to interrupt, "Auntie, are you going to say that Eldest Sister and Meng** are in cahoots? Who doesn't know that Meng** is in solitary confinement? What could they possibly be in cahoots for?"

Ji Chenbi puffed out her cheeks and chimed in, "It's just that Aunt doesn't believe my eldest sister; she really isn't her biological mother..."

The madman continued, "I saw you weren't here, so I hid under the bed. We met after you came back, and you even said Meng** was pitiful. I comforted you for a long time."

Tingyao remained calm. "Since you say we made love, tell me what features I have?"

Madman: "Your body is as white as porcelain."

Now it was Grandma Ji's turn to laugh. Tingyao flipped her wrist over and said, "I tried to pick flowers from the tree a few days ago and accidentally got scratched. How come you couldn't see it? What do you mean by 'clouds and rain'?"

She had stumbled here in her past life, so this time she deliberately made some traces and even went to cry to Old Madam Ji for a while.

The madman was visibly panicked.

Tingyao began to counterattack, "Furthermore, you came in at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM). The servants, guards, and old women patrolling this area of ​​our main house take turns every half hour. The hour of Chou is the strictest time, and you only took a quarter of an hour to get here. How did you manage that?"

She just had someone time her.

Ji Chunhe squinted, "Someone did him a favor."

Ji Anzhi concluded: "There's a traitor in my sister's courtyard."

Ji Chenbi: "The sisters are right!"

Just then, the search team returned, with Granny Xia holding a belt in her hand.

Tingyao was a little surprised.

Shouldn't Zhao Siwei have cleaned it up for her? Could it be that she's already left?

Tingyao clenched her hands, her expression freezing slightly.

Then I can only protect myself, just like in my previous life.

Hope rekindled in the madman's eyes, "Adin—"

"Don't be rude to the young lady," said Granny Xia. "This was found in the maid Xin'er's room."

Ji Anzhi: "Xin'er was a maid that my mother gave to my sister during the New Year."

She thought Tingyao was foolish back then, how could she accept the maid sent by Madam Sun? She even looked grateful. So, this sister had already thought of this day back then?

Tingyao's tense expression relaxed, and she almost thought Zhao Siwei had given her a big bowel movement.

"Moreover, Xin'er just tried to hang herself, but luckily she was rescued," Granny Xia added.

Tingyao truly had a confident expression on her face.

“No wonder,” Tingyao said. “I was wondering how he managed to avoid so many eyes and ears without anyone’s help. But I really don’t know how Madam manages the household. She managed to let someone in late at night, which almost ruined my reputation.”
