He smiled warmly: "Is evidence really that important? What she needs isn't cold, hard logic, but rather her family who will always believe in her, no matter what."

Ji Yan sat down next to Shen Qingcheng and looked at the frizzy hamster being protected by the Gu family father and son.

He said in a leisurely voice, "You see, the closest blood relatives are the easiest to stab her in the back, but it doesn't matter, there will always be someone who does it better than you."

"Get out of here with those two idiots before I lose my temper."

...

Lord Liu knew that without giving a clear explanation, he couldn't arrest the person.

He explained, “Someone reported that Shen Jiao instigated Zui Shan Xuan to use cursed insects in cooking, deliberately framing the people of Southern Xinjiang. His intentions are malicious and his motives are unforgivable. Master Gu, I am just doing my duty. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Shen Qingye nodded: "That's right, that's right, we should arrest her and interrogate her properly!"

"That reason is hilarious."

Master Gu immediately burst into laughter, his gaze turning cold.

"Zui Shan Xuan is Gu's property, and all decisions are made by Gu, the owner. It is not right for Lord Liu to make things difficult for a young girl."

Lord Liu frowned, clearly agreeing with this statement, but he had no choice but to comply with orders from above.

"Exactly, can your guests help you with the trial?" Guan Sanye sneered.

This Lord Guan is quite the smooth talker... Lord Liu is having a bit of a headache. Dealing with Master Gu is already difficult enough, how come there's Lord Guan to deal with too?

Who told him that Master Guan and Master Gu had a falling out?

Come out here and take your beating!

Lord Liu said, "Of course not, but official business must be handled in accordance with the law. If you two gentlemen have anything to say, please speak in court."

He steeled himself and, without hesitation, ordered the soldiers, "Take the man away."
