From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

The magistrate's words made the atmosphere in the courtroom even more tense. The members of the Jiang family looked at each other, their hearts pounding.

Is there some other change they are unaware of?

Bi Yao remained calm, as if everything was under her control.

"Is this a matter of great importance?" Bi Yao raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with sarcasm. "How is it so important? Is it more important than the Jiang family's disregard for human life and oppression of the people?"

"You!" Jiang Ruifeng pointed at Bi Yao, furious. "You bitch, don't spout nonsense!"

"Who are you calling a slut?" Bi Yao retorted without any politeness. "Young Master Jiang, are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"

"You..." Jiang Ruifeng's face turned ashen with anger, yet he was speechless.

At this moment, Liu Ermazi stammered, "Sir...sir, I...I'm telling the truth! The Jiang family...the Jiang family..."

"Shut up!" the Jiang family member shouted angrily. "You traitorous dog, how dare you slander the Jiang family!"

"I...I didn't..." Liu Ermazi shrank back in fright, his voice becoming even softer.

"Silence!" The magistrate slammed his gavel again. "How dare you make such a racket in the courtroom!"

He looked at Jiang Ruifeng and asked in a deep voice, "Fourth Young Master Jiang, do you recognize this letter?"

Jiang Ruifeng gritted his teeth and vehemently denied it: "I don't know him! This is clearly someone deliberately framing me!"

"Framed?" Bi Yao sneered. "Fourth Young Master Jiang, who do you think such a clumsy lie can fool?"

Jiang Ruifeng broke out in a cold sweat; he sensed that the situation was getting worse.

Just then, the clerk hurriedly came out of the back room again and whispered a few words in the magistrate's ear.

Upon hearing this, the magistrate's face changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, pointed at the Jiang family members, and shouted sternly, "The Jiang family has committed heinous crimes, and the evidence is conclusive! Guards, arrest all members of the Jiang family!"

"What?!" The Jiang family was thrown into chaos. They never expected things to develop to this point.

"No! This is impossible!" Jiang Ruifeng shouted hysterically. "You must have conspired together! You're trying to frame the Jiang family!"

However, everything was already set in stone.

The constables rushed forward and took all the members of the Jiang family away.

Bi Yao watched this scene with a sense of satisfaction. The Jiang family had finally gotten what they deserved!

Jiang Ruiyuan walked to Bi Yao's side and gently took her hand: "Yao'er, you've worked hard."

Bi Yao turned to look at him and smiled slightly: "It's all over."

However, at this moment, the magistrate walked up to Bi Yao and said with a serious expression, "Bi Yao, although the Jiang family has been brought to justice, this matter involves a wide range of people..." He paused, his gaze deep, "Some things are probably only just beginning."

As soon as the magistrate finished speaking, Bi Yao's lips curled into a cold smile. She had long expected that the Jiang family would not surrender easily.

She pulled a neatly folded piece of paper and a… from her sleeve.

A small and exquisite wooden box?

Everyone was puzzled. What was this thing?

Could it be a hidden weapon?

Or is it some rare treasure?

"Sir, this is evidence of the Jiang family threatening county officials over the years, and..." Bi Yao paused, then opened the wooden box, inside which lay a...

phonograph?

!

Okay, let's just assume that ancient technology was quite advanced.

"This is their recording; the evidence is irrefutable."

Everyone present, including the county magistrate, was stunned.

What is this thing?

It can even record audio?

This is simply unheard of!

The Jiang family members turned pale. Just who was this Bi Yao?

How could such a thing exist?

The magistrate picked up the phonograph with trembling hands, pressed the switch, and the arrogant voice of the Jiang family patriarch came out, threatening the magistrate to protect them. His arrogant tone was outrageous.

With the evidence irrefutable, the county magistrate turned green with rage. The Jiang family was simply lawless!

"The audacious Jiang family! Their crimes deserve to be punished!" the magistrate roared, his gavel slamming down with a deafening sound. "Guards! Confiscate the Jiang family's property, and exile the ringleader to the frontier!"

Jiang Ruifeng was even flogged on the spot, his buttocks were beaten until they were bruised and bleeding, and his screams echoed throughout the county government office.

The Chiang family members wept and lamented, deeply regretting their past actions.

The onlookers cheered and clapped, spreading the news: "The Chiang family has gotten their comeuppance! Evil people get their just desserts!"

With the dust settled, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan exchanged a smile, everything understood without words.

"It's finally over." Bi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but just then, she felt a strange chill, as if something was watching them from the shadows...

She turned her head sharply and looked at an inconspicuous corner in the crowd. There was no one there, only a shadow, which looked particularly eerie in the flickering firelight.

“Ruiyuan…” Bi Yao unconsciously gripped Jiang Ruiyuan’s sleeve.

The downfall of the Chiang family was met with cheers from the onlookers, creating a massive spectacle!

Bi Yao breathed a long sigh of relief. The huge weight that had been pressing on her heart for years had finally been lifted. Overwhelmed with emotion, she burst into Jiang Ruiyuan's arms.

Jiang Ruiyuan caught her steadily and they embraced tightly, as if only the two of them remained in the world.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd erupted in thunderous applause, wildly praising their love and righteous act!

This couple is locked in, and no one can break them up!

Jiang Ruiyuan gently lifted Bi Yao's face, their eyes met, filled with deep affection, and pink bubbles filled the air.

Then, he slowly lowered his head and placed a kiss on Bi Yao's smooth forehead.

"Yao'er, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Ruiyuan's voice was deep and magnetic, making Bi Yao's heart melt.

Bi Yao's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly, feeling Jiang Ruiyuan's love, her heart filled with sweetness and happiness.

At that moment, she felt that all her previous efforts had been worthwhile.

"This...this is too sweet!" The onlookers were all envious, turning into green with envy.

But just then, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph, the real show is yet to come!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in black standing at the back of the group with a sinister smile on his face. After speaking, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of foreboding washing over them.

Does the Chiang family have a backup plan?

In the days that followed, Bi Yao's business empire was indeed impacted.

Some businesses that had previously partnered with the Jiang family terminated their contracts and even maliciously suppressed Bi Yao's business.

Bi Yao then realized that although the Jiang family had been destroyed, its influence still existed.

At the same time, Jiang Ruiyuan's family was also implicated due to the downfall of the Jiang family.

Some political enemies took the opportunity to kick Chiang Kai-shek while he was down, putting the Chiang family in a difficult situation.

Faced with these challenges, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan did not back down.

They supported each other and faced difficulties together.

With her exceptional business acumen and unwavering perseverance, Bi Yao gradually stabilized and expanded her business empire.

Jiang Ruiyuan, however, used his wisdom and connections to resolve the family crisis.

Their relationship has become even stronger after going through these ups and downs.

They understood that only each other could be their strongest support.

However, the appearance of that man in black remained like a thorn in their hearts, preventing them from feeling at ease.

They know that the road ahead is long and there are many challenges ahead, but they are ready to join hands and meet the new challenges together!
