How could the precious concubine in Duke Xu's mansion have ever suffered such injustice?

The woman covered her face in astonishment, gritting her teeth in hatred.

"Which uneducated bastard is this? How dare she act wildly in front of the Duke's Mansion? Come, arrest her and send her to the authorities!"

Unexpectedly, the little girl in the coarse linen shirt chuckled sarcastically and asked a resounding question.

"Mrs. Qin doesn't even know what I look like, yet she keeps slandering me by calling me a bastard and a whore?"

Xu Xingyin kept smiling, but her beautiful eyes suddenly darkened, as cold as the snow in winter, which suddenly stunned everyone.

"Is this the upbringing of your Qin family?"

When Aunt Qin heard this, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you Xu Xingyin?"

"how?"

As he spoke, Xu Xingyin had already moved a few steps closer. "Madam Qin seemed surprised to see that I'm still alive?"

Aunt Qin, whose secret was exposed, was frightened and realized that she had almost fallen into Xu Xingyin's trap, so she snorted and refuted.

"Whether you live or die, what does it have to do with our Xu Guogong Mansion? We don't have a shameless lady like you in our Guogong Mansion!"

"I have no shame? Haha!"

Xu Xingyin laughed dryly twice, with endless ridicule on his face.

"Then I will discuss with you who is shameless!"

Aunt Qin thought Xu Xingyin was just bluffing and didn't take her seriously at all.

"Originally, family disgrace should not be made public. There are some things I don't want to say, but you are so aggressive, so I can't blame you as your stepmother! Considering the time, we are still in mourning for General Zhennan, and you, as his granddaughter, shamelessly eloped with an adulterer. You are so disloyal and unfilial, and disgusting!"

Xu Xingyin was not angry at all, but instead asked loudly.

"Mrs. Qin is really confusing right and wrong! After all, you are just a servant of our Duke's Mansion. How dare you slander the Duke's daughter without any evidence? I don't know whether to praise you for your eloquence or call you a deaf and blind mad dog!"

"Besides, how dare you, my little aunt, wear the color matching of the wife? Do you take my mother seriously? Those who know you think you don't respect the mistress, and those who don't know think that father favors his wife and kills his concubines!"

"You are disrespectful to your mistress, unkind to the younger generation, vulgar in your words, and arrogant in your actions. In my opinion, you are disloyal, servile, and shameless!"

Every word was like a loud slap in the face of Aunt Qin. She became angry and kicked the servant beside her.

"What are you looking at! Arrest this rebellious girl and send her to the government office!"

The servants looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they could react, Xu Xingyin suddenly appeared from behind and grabbed Aunt Qin's neck.

The dagger that was taken out from somewhere was pointed directly at Aunt Qin's waist.

"It just so happens that I also want to invite Aunt Qin to go to the government office. If you don't want to die, just follow me to the government office!"

With the cold weapon against her waist, no matter how reluctant Aunt Qin was, she had no choice but to go on this journey with Xu Xingyin.

At the same time, Duke Xu Xiuzhu, who had just come off court, was exchanging routine courtesies with a few colleagues.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and head to the Shuntian government office, he saw the housekeeper running towards him with a pale face.

"My Lord, something terrible has happened!"

"How can you behave in such a panic?"

"My Lord, Miss Seven suddenly returned home just now. She took Concubine Qin hostage with a knife without explanation and went to Shuntian Yamen."

"what!"

Xu Xiuzhu was shocked and then his face turned dark in the face of his colleagues' astonished looks.

"This rebellious girl! Just wait and see how I deal with her!"

……

When Xu Xiuzhu arrived at the yamen, the court was already in session.

Since he held an official position, it was not convenient for him to get involved in the matter. He could only stand outside and watch what was happening inside.

Aunt Qin cried so miserably.

She tearfully accused Xu Xingyin of not only shamelessly eloping with a man outside his family, but also maliciously beating her elders and even threatening her stepmother with a knife.

He is cruel and ruthless and has done many evil things.

Xu Xingyin was not angry either. He calmly asked a few questions in return, but each time he hit Qin Yi Niang's sore spot, causing Qin Yi Niang's words to become more and more unpleasant.

She didn't look as virtuous as before at all, and looked just like a shrew.

Seeing that Xu Xingyin could not refute, Aunt Qin became even more proud.

He thought to himself that Xu Xingyin was lucky to survive this time, but his reputation was so bad that people would avoid him.

Aunt Qin was feeling secretly proud of herself when she saw Xu Xingyin bowing in a dignified manner.

"Today, I will sue the Qin family for deliberately instigating assassins to hunt me down and maliciously defaming my reputation!"

Aunt Qin immediately said angrily, "Sir, please judge for me. I just told the truth, but Xu Xingyin slandered me like this. He even didn't let my family go! He is so young, but he has such a vicious heart!"

"quiet!"

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was annoyed by the noise made by Aunt Qin. He shouted harshly and looked at Xu Xingyin.

"Miss Xu Qi, do you have any evidence?"

Xu Xingyin chuckled and shook his head, pausing for a moment before continuing.

"Although I have no physical evidence, I accidentally learned that the Qin family opened a secret music hall in the west of the city for people to have fun, and harmed many decent women!"

"what!"

Shuntian Prefecture's eyes widened in surprise, "This matter is of no small importance. If it is a false accusation, you will be punished with a stick!"

"When I was being chased, I managed to capture a lone thief. I learned this from the thief."

Shuntian Prefecture Governor frowned, "This person was ordered to hunt you down, so how could he tell you such an important clue?"

Xu Xingyin had long guessed that the Shuntian prefect would ask such a question, and answered it very smoothly.

"Because the order he received was not to kill me, but to cut the tendons of my hands and feet and send me to that music hall, leaving me begging for life but unable to die!"

When Xu Xingyin said this, everyone was shocked.

"What a poisonous heart!"

Aunt Qin rushed forward angrily, "You are talking nonsense, when did I ever give such an order!"

Xu Xingyin stepped aside, barely avoiding Aunt Qin's action, and turned to look at the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, giving her a kind reminder.

"Sir, you will know whether it is true or not once you go there! Instead of wasting time for me to explain the case here, it is better to go there earlier, so that the thieves will not flee after hearing the news!"

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture stared at Xu Xingyin. Although the little girl was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her aura was not inferior to that of an adult at all.

He looked calm and didn't look like he was lying.

But Aunt Qin, apart from being angry, did not seem to have any guilty conscience. Who was lying in this matter?

Shuntian Prefecture Governor didn’t know, but if this was true, such a big case…

It's time for him to make a contribution!

"Gather the men and rush to the west of the city."

Thinking of this, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture immediately gave instructions to everyone, and then made a gesture of invitation to Xu Xingyin.

"Miss Xu Qi, please lead the way."

"it is good!"

After saying that, a group of people rode their horses straight to the west of the city.
