In the middle of the night, the branches of the dead trees swayed in the cold wind, and the temperature was approaching below zero.

Although it was extremely cold, the travelers were exhausted from the day and fell into a deep sleep.

Only one person sat up, holding his stomach.

Mrs. Wei frowned, rubbed her stomach, and murmured softly, "Oh, I'm so hungry. I can't even eat enough. Sooner or later I'm going to starve to death in this desert."

She sat and rubbed her stomach for a while, but she became even hungrier and it started to growl.

Unable to bear it any longer, Wei Ersao immediately got up and walked towards Su Huaiyue stealthily.

Su Huaiyue was sleeping soundly at the moment and didn't notice anything at all.

Wei Ersao, feeling guilty, walked very slowly and searched Su Huaiyue's bag thoroughly, but couldn't find anything to fill her stomach.

"This girl is really starving. She has eaten nothing at all!" Wei Ersao muttered in a low voice.

She saw the officers resting not far away, and then she thought, all the food was controlled by those officers. There were so many cakes, it would be okay for her to secretly eat two.

What's more, there is someone here whom she hates extremely. Why not take this opportunity to get rid of this scourge in one fell swoop? Wouldn't it be great!

In the darkness, Wei Ersao's shrewd eyes rolled around as she planned.

In his mind, he had already imagined the scene of Su Huaiyue being slandered and humiliated tomorrow, and then being beaten up, leaving the festering wound to bleed and pus, and finally let her die.

She did it right away. She pulled a piece of cloth from Su Huaiyue's coat and threw it next to the basket of flatbreads.

When she was stealing the pancake, the basket made a noise and an officer not far away turned over, as if he was about to wake up.

Mrs. Wei was so frightened that she almost dropped the pancake in her hand.

He hurriedly hid the pancake under his body, knelt on the ground with his butt sticking up, and dared not make a sound.

Her hair was scattered in panic, like a mad woman.

The second sister-in-law clasped her hands together and prayed continuously that no one would discover her. Her whole body was shaking like chaff, and she looked extremely miserable.

The few seconds of prayer seemed so long that she felt her heart was about to jump out.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, the man just turned over...

She picked up the pancake that had fallen on the ground, walked aside carefully, patted the sand off the pancake, and ate it with relish.

While eating, he did not forget to glance at Su Huaiyue who was sleeping soundly not far away, his eyes full of calculation.

In the past, she always suffered the loss, and this time it's your turn, Su Huaiyue. Even if you have eight mouths, you can't explain yourself.

The next morning.

Everyone packed their luggage in an orderly manner and began to prepare to continue their journey.

Su Huaiyue was still brooding over the fact that Wei Che had injured her yesterday, so today she simply threw his bag to him and let him carry it himself.

On the other side, the officer who was carrying dry food discovered that two cakes were missing from the basket during the routine food inventory.

The food supply inexplicably became less, and he happened to see the fabric that belonged to Su Huaiyue's clothes next to the basket.

With this connection, Su Huaiyue is the proven thief who stole the cake!

The small official was furious. He picked up the basket and took the cloth and went to confront Su Huaiyue.

The small official angrily threw the backpack in front of Su Huaiyue and said, "You guilty woman of the Wei family, you stole food right under my nose. What crime should you be punished for?"

Su Huaiyue was a little confused after being yelled at for no apparent reason.

"May I ask, sir, when did I steal the food? What evidence do you have to prove that it was me who stole the food?"

The small official was already certain that it was Su Huaiyue who stole the things, and seeing her so calm, he became even more furious.

He threw the piece of cloth in front of Su Huaiyue: "Do you recognize this cloth? I found it next to the basket. And there are two cakes missing from the basket. What else can you say?!"

Su Huaiyue recognized the piece of cloth at a glance, and then she found that there was indeed a piece missing from her coat, and it happened to match that piece of cloth.

"The evidence is here. You have no excuse now. Come with me to Lord Li and confess your guilt."

The young officer also noticed the hole in her clothes and wanted to arrest her immediately.

Su Huaiyue smiled coldly, picked up the piece of cloth and said to the officer.

"Sir, what basis do you have to convict me based on just a piece of cloth? What if this piece of cloth was torn off by someone and deliberately thrown next to the basket to frame me?

If it was really a piece of cloth that was accidentally torn off while stealing the bread, why is its shape so square and doesn't look like it was torn at all?

The officer's voice attracted everyone's attention. Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement, but no one dared to come forward to defend Su Huaiyue.

The little official was so angry that he didn't listen to Su Huaiyue's words at all: "If you plead guilty, Mrs. Wei, you can be given a lighter sentence. If you refuse to admit your guilt, you will suffer the consequences."

When Madam Wei saw that the officer was about to draw his sword, she immediately pulled Su Huaiyue behind her and protected her tightly.

"Sir, I know Huaiyue well. Although she did some sneaky things before, I have seen her change along the way. I hope you can see through her mistakes and give us justice."

At this time, the people around were also talking. They were surrounded in the middle, and the official suddenly felt embarrassed.

"I don't care what you women do. The evidence is here, you have no way to argue. Get out of here, old woman! Otherwise, I'll arrest you too."

As they were talking, Madam Wei was pushed aside by the official. If Wei Yunrou hadn't supported her, she would have fallen hard.

Seeing this, Su Huaiyue's expression immediately turned cold, and he no longer treated the officer with a good face.

"Since you are so certain, I have nothing to say. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."

The small officer sneered and took Su Huaiyue directly to Adjutant Cheng.

Adjutant Cheng frowned and looked at his men: "What are you doing? Let Madam Wei go!"

The young official told Adjutant Cheng the whole story and handed him the cloth.

"Please let the adjutant decide!"

After understanding the whole story, Adjutant Cheng examined the cloth carefully.

Then he asked his men to let Su Huaiyue go, and waved his hand to signal everyone to go back to their work.

Su Huaiyue didn't say a word from beginning to end.

The officer was confused and asked, "Sir, why don't you expel this criminal woman from the team?"

This question expressed the thoughts of everyone present.

Adjutant Cheng explained, "Mrs. Wei would not bother to steal just two cakes.

During this journey, when was it not Madam Wei who found our food? And she shared it with everyone without reservation. She is not that kind of person. Even if she made it, what's wrong with eating two more cakes? "

For a moment, everyone watching the show was talking about it.

"Could it be that Adjutant Cheng has some relationship with the woman from the Wei family? He is so protective of her."

"This cloth wouldn't appear next to the basket for no reason. It's really suspicious."

"That's right, after all, the evidence is conclusive."
