Chapter 162 Proposal
Lin Yiwan angrily shouted, "Catch her now! She dared to murder her own master and cause an abortion. She deserves death!"
The little maidservant was so frightened that she knelt down and begged, "No, this servant is not me. I am following the Master's orders to get the abortion pills for the young lady!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers all pointed at Su Zisheng.
Some even shouted loudly: "I never thought that an official could be so vicious. He clearly murdered his own sister, but he still tried to frame the Marquis' wife. He should be dismissed from his official position and sentenced to prison!"
Su Zining was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shook her head vigorously: "No, my brother didn't mean to murder me!"
The yamen runner stepped forward quickly and said, "Doctor Su, please come with us to the government office!"
Su Zisheng's eyes were filled with hatred, but in front of everyone, he had to suppress it.
He originally thought that since Zhan Yu had been kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion, he would take the opportunity to let Su Zining rely on Lin Yiwan.
His choice for sister-in-law is still the Dali Temple Minister Lin Ran!
However, he didn't expect that instead of forcing Lin Yiwan to submit, it would ruin his own reputation!
It's really not worth it!
He gritted his teeth and said, "If the people don't sue, the government won't investigate. My sister hasn't filed a complaint yet, so why should I follow you to the government office?"
Just as the officer was feeling awkward, Lin Yiwan suddenly spoke up, "What about me suing you? I'm suing you for blocking the street and defaming the mistress of the Zhan Yihou Mansion. I'm suing you and your brother for extortion!"
Just one sentence made Su Zisheng and his sister tremble all over. They never expected that the stone they lifted would hit their own feet, and it was so hard!
Su Zining crawled to Lin Yiwan's feet, her blood trailing behind her, and begged, "Wanwan, for the sake of our past relationship, please let us go this time. I, I won't dare to do it again!"
She shook her head. "No, you still dare, Su Zining. You asked for this. If you're willing to be a street rat, why shouldn't I make it happen?"
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the yamen runners and said, "Thank you for your help. I will ask our Lord to look into this matter later!"
The yamen runners were horrified, knowing that Marquis Zhan Yi was ruthless and they dared not offend him.
I originally thought that I could make a big deal out of a small matter, and since Su Zisheng was an official appointed by the court, I would just take his sister away.
At this moment, he could only say with a sullen face: "Doctor Su, please don't embarrass us!"
After Su Zisheng and his sister were taken away by the yamen runners, Lin Yiwan finally looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, please disperse. Thank you all for speaking up for justice and not being blinded by the superficial facts!"
She walked into the Sang Mansion and ordered someone to go inside to inform them.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, the butler did not come back.
Without hesitation, she walked quickly to the backyard.
As soon as I walked into Sang Qiutang's yard, I heard a burst of sarcastic ridicule: "My dear sister, your reputation is already ruined, why are you still staying at home?"
Sang Qiutang angrily retorted, "Is it my fault that I was kidnapped? Besides, I'm innocent, so why can't you tolerate me?"
The woman suddenly raised her voice and scolded, "Of course not! You staying here will only hinder our marriage. Originally, my grandmother was about to arrange a marriage for me with the youngest son of the Minister of War, but because of you, they've been holding off on coming!"
Sang Qiutang seemed to have been irritated to the point of tears. She forced herself to argue, "I didn't mean to stay in the mansion. It was my father who told me that the Marquis's wife was coming to say goodbye to me!"
The woman sneered and said, "Oh, you are so foolish! You just believed what others said casually? It's getting late. Even if the emperor hasn't given you permission to go to the royal temple yet, you should hurry to the farm to avoid hindering us sisters from being seen by others!"
Suddenly there was a pulling sound in the house, and then a lot of clothes were thrown out.
With a loud crash, rouge and powder were also scattered all over the floor.
The little maidservant beside Sang Qiutang cried, "You are going too far! You dare to bully the young lady while the master is away!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't bear to listen any longer. She quickly stepped forward and said coldly, "Who dares to bully Qiu Tang?"
The expressions of several girls standing in the room suddenly changed, especially the eldest daughter Tang Qiudi, whose pretty face flashed with embarrassment.
She subconsciously said, "Madam Hou, how dare you trespass into someone else's backyard?"
Lin Yiwan replied calmly, "I sent someone to inform him, but he never came back. I was worried about Qiu Tang, so I found out where her courtyard was and came here first!"
Tang Qiudi frowned. She wanted to make friends with the marquis' wife. It was said that she was quite favored in the marquis's mansion. In addition, she had countless miraculous medicines, especially the beauty facial patches she made, which could not be bought with money.
But seeing her cold face, she suddenly didn't know how to start.
Sang Qiutang was the first to come back to her senses. She asked in surprise, "Wanwan, do you have time to come over?"
Lin Yiwan's expression softened instantly. "Yes, it's all my fault. I promised to come visit you early, but I got sidetracked by trivial matters!"
Sang Qiutang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes without leaving a trace, and said with a forced smile, "Please sit down quickly. I'll have someone bring you tea!"
However, after she finished speaking, her expression froze, because the room was already in a state of chaos, with even the chairs and brocade stools lying in a mess on the ground.
Just as Sang Qiutang was about to help her up, Lin Yiwan grabbed her wrist and said, "Stop wasting time. I came here to visit you, but more importantly, I want to meet your grandmother. I have something important to tell her. Can you take me to see her?"
Sang Qiutang bit his lip in embarrassment, a fierce struggle flashing in his eyes.
Sang Qiudi spoke without hesitation: "Madam Hou, I'll take you there. Ever since my little sister came back, my grandmother has been irritated by her and has become ill. She once said that she must never allow her to appear before her again!"
Sang Qiutang's tears fell like a broken string. She choked out a sob and said, "Yes, Wanwan, you should let my eldest sister take you to see Grandmother!"
Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow in mockery, "How can she be considered your legitimate sister? For her own marriage, she actually drove her own sister away and even threw away her things. She's so selfish, isn't she afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
Tang Qiudi tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of panic and anxiety.
It's one thing for her to be domineering at home, but it's another thing for outsiders to see it.
Lin Yiwan is still the most difficult one. If this gets out, she will never be able to marry into a wealthy family again.
After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and slapped the maid next to her fiercely. She scolded her harshly, "Who told you to throw my sister's things away on your own initiative? Why don't you help her clean them up!"
"Yes!" The maid replied with a look of grievance on her face.
Lin Yiwan said indifferently, "Miss Sang, I, Lin Yiwan, am not blind. Please stop acting in front of me. Being your maid is pitiful, and I have to take the blame for you!"
Sang Qiudi denied anxiously: "I didn't, I can help my sister clean it up!"
