Abandoned Wife? Her Starlight Shall Blind You!-Chapter 206 - 149: Framing Them for Theft

"They stole my money pouch, quickly arrest them and take them to the county government!" Ye Yun’er shouted angrily at her subordinates.

In this area, it was always her, Ye Yun’er, who walked around boldly, and no one had ever dared to disrespect her like this.

These two men who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth not only had no reverence for her but even dared to openly mock her. How could she swallow this indignation!

The people around, upon hearing that these four had stolen Miss Ye’s purse, immediately looked at them with disdain.

Shen Ruoxi couldn’t help but laugh, "Stole your purse? Where’s the evidence? On what basis do you say we stole it? Also, what kind of thief doesn’t hurry to run away but instead stands here waiting to be caught?"

"This lady says you stole it, so you stole it. Stop your nonsense and hurry up!"

Ye Yun’er completely ignored Shen Ruoxi’s questioning and continued to shout arrogantly at her subordinates.

Shen Ruoxi continued to mock, "You clearly want to frame us, and your goal isn’t to say we stole something, but to make us beg for mercy and give you the man you fancy, right? Aren’t you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

Ye Yun’er was infuriated when Shen Ruoxi hit the nail on the head about her thoughts.

After leaving the market, the more she thought about it, the more she felt unwilling to let it go. Especially the second man who appeared, with his handsome face and tall posture, made her heart itch with a desire she couldn’t shake off.

She thought indignantly, why should these poor people find such a handsome man, while she, not only wealthy but also with relatives in high office, cannot have such a good-looking man.

Just as Ye Yun’er’s subordinates were at a loss about how to act, Yun Jiangxue slowly stood up, "Everyone, stay put, don’t lose your dignity, I’ll go and dismiss them."

Shen Ruoxi nodded slightly in agreement.

Yun Jiangxue smiled coldly at Ye Yun’er, "Ye, listen well, they are not people you can afford to provoke.

Take my advice, leave quickly, and we can pretend nothing happened. If you don’t heed my advice, you’ll bear the consequences!"

"Stop trying to scare me. Today you must come with me to see the magistrate, or I’ll have my family’s guards arrest you!"

Ye Yun’er remained arrogant and overbearing.

"Since you’re so stubborn as to not listen to the warning, don’t blame us for being rude. Let’s solve this outside, so as not to damage this small shop."

Yun Jiangxue then took the lead to walk outside.

Seeing this, Ye Yun’er was not to be outdone and followed, her subordinates trailing closely behind.

Shen Ruoxi knew these few servants were no match for Yun Jiangxue, so she remained calm.

Pei Xuan, out of concern, also walked out.

In a short while, all four guards were knocked to the ground, moaning, unable to stand.

The onlookers even applauded, while Ye Yun’er turned livid with rage, seeing her family’s servants sprawled all over, unable to rise, yet she continued to shout, "Just you wait, wait for it."

Pei Xuan and Yun Jiangxue sneered and turned back to the shop, where four bowls of bean curd had been laid out on the table.

As expected, this bean curd was particularly delicious. Shen Ruoxi ate with relish, finishing two bowls in one go, still not quite satiated.

When the four of them came out of the small shop, they saw several government officials hurriedly approaching, led by Ye Yun’er.

They couldn’t help feeling a headache. This Ye Yun’er was so relentless, she even dared to file a false report, truly bringing trouble upon herself.

"It was they who stole this lady’s purse, inside there were over a thousand taels of silver notes, quickly arrest them all." Ye Yun’er pointed viciously at Shen Ruoxi and the others.

Over a thousand taels of silver was indeed a substantial fortune.

According to the law, they would not only be flogged but at least imprisoned for over three years.

This Ye Yun’er truly had a vicious heart.

The leading government official, however, was cautious, scrutinizing them, he felt that these four did not look like ordinary people, and asked, "Did you steal Miss Ye’s purse?"

Shen Ruoxi lazily glanced at them, responding nonchalantly, "Didn’t steal, she’s talking nonsense."

"Regardless of whether you stole it, she has already reported it to the authorities, we can only handle it impartially and have to take you all back to the county government." The official, though polite, still had to uphold justice.

"What if I, Young Master, refuse to go?" Pei Xuan crossed his arms, his demeanor extremely arrogant.

The leading government official’s face darkened, frowning, "It’s not up to you. Since the County Magistrate has taken the case, none of you can leave."

With that, he prepared to have them arrested.

At that moment, Old Yu came rushing with his wife and son.

"Young Master, what happened?" Old Yu looked shocked, beads of sweat covering his forehead.

Jun Moling’s dark eyes were deep, like an unfathomable cold pool, "This woman is falsely accusing us of theft. Go handle it, remember that filing a false report deserves a beating, make sure she receives her punishment, with not a single stroke less."

"Yes!" Old Yu replied respectfully.

"Gentlemen, let’s go!" Old Yu turned to the officials, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Old Yu had lived in the vicinity for over a decade, nearly everyone knew him.

Though they were unclear about his true identity, they all knew he was the steward of the Capital City’s official family’s other estate, even the County Magistrate had to show him some respect.

The officials looked at each other in dismay, unsure of what to do.

Ye Yun’er, seeing this situation, was even more enraged, shouting at the officials, "What are you standing there for? Arrest them already!"

The officials didn’t attend to Ye Yun’er, instead nervously asking,

"Who is he?"

He seemed to hear Old Yu address the person in front of him as Young Master, they mustn’t offend someone so significant!

Old Yu cast a sidelong glance at the official, full of derision, "He is my Young Master, why, do you want to know his real identity?"

"Don’t dare, don’t dare!" The leading official quickly waved his hands, his heart pounding.

Just seeing this person, his extraordinary presence made him feel this must be someone important.

It seemed he was indeed no ordinary individual.

"Then would Boss Yu please accompany us." The official forced himself to appear calm, speaking with resolve.

"Let’s go!" Old Yu readily agreed.

"No, they stole the items." Seeing Shen Ruoxi and the others about to leave, Ye Yun’er, unaware of the impending disaster, continued her relentless clamor.

"Slap!"

Mrs. Yu mercilessly slapped her, shouting angrily, "Blind to your dog eyes, my Young Master would stoop to stealing your pitiful trinkets?

Ye Yun’er, you’re in deep trouble now! I’m telling you, filing a false report merits twelve strokes of the cane, you’ll be feeling it soon."

Ye Yun’er, stunned by the sudden slap, recovered and continued to yell more arrogantly, "Old hag, how dare you hit me, do you know who my father and uncle are? I’ll make sure you pay for this!"

Mrs. Yu sneered, "Your father is Ye Sheng, your uncle is Minister of the Ministry of Justice Chu Teng, known as the incorruptible Bao Zhen.

If he knew he had such a reckless niece ruining his reputation, he’d strangle you first!

Let’s go, Miss Ye, see who can save you."

Seeing that the other party knew who she was and still wasn’t afraid, Ye Yun’er truly felt a bit scared, "Who exactly are you?"

"Please, Miss Ye!" The leading official also felt cold sweat, his voice cold and unfeeling, even the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was of no consequence, the casual mention of names, showing the status of this gentleman!

This minor incident did not affect the four’s good mood, yet Jun Moling seemed lost in thought.

Chu Teng was reputed for his incorruptibility, did he know his niece was using his name to flaunt outside?

That day, after a slight reminder, he leaned in favor of Ruoxi in his report.

Let’s just say, this person was still somewhat teachable.

Of course, the beam incident was also orchestrated by someone he sent in advance, though he didn’t investigate deeply, this alone showed he wasn’t completely inflexible.

This time, his niece had caused trouble, which was not insignificant.

If he insisted on holding her accountable for falsely accusing Prince Zhan, she’d have no escape.

I wonder if the famously impartial Minister Chu would plead her case this time?

Thinking of this, Jun Moling couldn’t help but feel a sense of expectation.

Returning to the Shen Mansion, as Shen Ruoxi just washed her hands, she saw Chuntao approaching sneakily.

With a smile of schadenfreude, she leaned over to Shen Ruoxi’s ear, lowered her voice, and said something...
