Guan Chang and the Sun family came to the yamen, and after the court session, Guan Chang told the story of what had happened.

The Shuntian Mansion official asked Sun Xiaoju again, "Your boss was drunk, how did you get into his room?"

Sun Xiaoju gave the answer she had already thought of, "Your Excellency, it was almost closing time and I was clearing the tables. The owner got drunk and asked me to take him to rest. I took him to the lounge on the third floor, but he grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave."

"I remember that Chunhui Tower has a special maid to clean the place. Why did you go there?"

Sun Xiaoju hesitated for a moment and said, "I... saw that there were too many things and was afraid that the aunts would be too busy, so I thought about helping them, but I didn't expect this to happen."

"Why didn't you report to the police immediately when something happened?"

Sun Xiaoju explained: "I am afraid of retaliation. The Guan family is rich and powerful, and they have a brother-in-law who is the top scholar. I am just a commoner, how can I be a rival to them?"

"Then why did you go to his house to make trouble?"

"Since you have taken my body, you should be responsible for me. It is only natural."

The adult hesitated for a moment and said, "The two sides have different stories. Do you have any evidence or witnesses?"

Sun Xiaoju said, "Yes, my cousin also works at Chunhui Tower. She knows me. I just want to make money. I have no other thoughts. I never thought that this would happen."

Sun Xiaoju burst into tears as she spoke. The master slammed the table and said, "Silence, call the witnesses."

Sun Xiaohua came in and told a lot of things honestly, exactly the same as what Sun Xiaoju said, and even said: "I saw with my own eyes that the boss hugged my cousin upstairs, and my cousin struggled to no avail."

"Since you've seen it, why don't you save her?"

Sun Xiaohua closed her eyes and made up her mind, "Because I'm afraid. I'm afraid of angering my boss."

After hearing the testimony, the Lord asked her to leave. A man dressed as an officer came up to him and said something. The Lord of Shuntian Prefecture looked at Guan Chang and said, "We have both evidence and physical evidence. Come, put this rapist who bullied women in jail."

Liu Huan stepped forward and said, "Sir, isn't it too hasty to convict these two people based on their statements?"

The Lord of Shuntian Prefecture scolded, "How dare you question my judgment. Come, arrest her."

Someone immediately stepped forward and grabbed Liu Huan, "Humph, if I say he is, then he is the one. Take him away."

Before he had taken a few steps, a figure came in with someone, "Master Fang, are you investigating a case?"

When the Shuntian Prefecture official saw the visitor, he stood up hastily and said, "This subordinate greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince sat down at Lord Fang's seat and said, "No need to be polite. I just stopped by to take a look. Please continue."

Guan Chang broke free from the officers' hands, knelt in front of the hall and said, "Your Highness, please help me. I have been wronged."

Lord Fang was displeased, "How dare you! How dare you act rashly in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Take him away now!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his hand lazily, "Wait, tell me, what's going on?"

Guan Chang told the whole story again, without missing a word.

"It's easy. I just happened to bring a female doctor with me. Let her take a look."

Lord Fang immediately understood that Guan Chang was someone protected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and immediately said, "In that case, thank you very much, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Sun Xiaoju started to get scared when she heard this. "I won't check. It's a fact that I was bullied by my boss. You officials are protecting each other and you just want to harm me."

Lord Fang was sweating with fear. "Shut up! Someone, give ten heavy blows to the man who slandered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Several soldiers came and prepared to cover Sun Xiaoju's mouth, but the Crown Prince waved his hand generously, "Alas, this would prove that I am bullying her."

Lord Fang wiped his sweat and said, "Your Highness is right."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clapped his hands, and a female doctor came in from outside. The people at the door all knew her.

"So it's Doctor Sun. I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Yes, I have received her kindness before. She is a very upright person and will never do anything for personal gain."

Sun Yao is a legendary figure from the Sun family's side branch. She was originally a concubine's daughter who was framed and almost committed suicide. In the end, she was met by the famous doctor Sun and was accepted as his apprentice.

He was very famous in the capital. He would treat patients regardless of their background or status, and would even give a few coins to those who were poor. He was trusted by everyone.

Later, he was recruited by the Imperial Medical Service and often treated the empress, wives and daughters of princes and nobles, and also provided free medical treatment in his spare time.

"Girl, let me take a look for you."

Sun Xiaoju had never seen her before, and she didn't dare to show her. She just said, "Who knows where you are from? Are you sent by the Guan family to harm me? I won't go."

The people at the door were not happy. "How could such a kind-hearted person like Dr. Sun frame you? I think you are just guilty."

"that is!"

Doctor Sun was not annoyed and said, "Your Highness, in order to ensure fairness, could I ask the aunt present to come in with me?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his hand: "Alright."

The three aunts outside volunteered to come in, "Let's do it."

Sun Xiaoju's mother and sister-in-law were also invited to join them, so even if Sun Xiaoju didn't want to go, there was nothing she could do.

A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Sun and the others came out. Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the result. "Your Highness, this woman is indeed a virgin."

To prevent people from getting suspicious again, she took Sun Xiaoju's hand and said, "Only a virgin can have the shogunate blood applied to her. This is what I just applied to her."

Ordinary families don’t have money, so how could they be willing to give their daughters the toad blood? Now the rumor has been refuted.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that there was no need to stay and said, "Master Fang, if that's the case, I'll leave first. You can do whatever you want."

Lord Fang bowed and sent the man away. When he sat down, his expression changed. "Okay, you dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and me. Come, give each member of the Sun family ten strokes of the cane."

Right there, the officers and soldiers brought a few benches, lined up the Sun family members, and beat them with sticks.

Sun Xiaoju's mother and sister-in-law couldn't bear it and fainted.

Sun Xiaoju and Sun Xiaohua, who was called back, were also dying.

Lord Fang asked, "What do you want to do with the Guandong family?"

Guan Chang said respectfully: "Although my reputation has been damaged, at least there is no substantial harm. I will forgive them if I can. Since you have punished them on my behalf, I will not pursue the matter."

Lord Fang was even more pleased when he heard this, as he would not offend either side. "That's good, since the matter has been resolved, let's disperse and adjourn."

Guan Chang called a few people outside and gave each of them a string of copper coins, "Please send them back."

Those people were extremely happy. They took the money and carried the person on the ground away.

Others were praising him, "The Guan family is truly kind and righteous. They were slandered like this but still let bygones be bygones and sent the person back."

"Yeah, no wonder the food is so delicious."

Some people who didn't know what the Guan family did asked, and the people around them explained. As time went by, Chunhui Tower became known to everyone.
