Did she steal cabbages or garlic sprouts? Why is everyone looking for her?

Shen Jiao peeked her head out from the tyrant's arms.

Realizing that this was affecting her image, she straightened her back and adopted the standard posture of an elementary school student.

Ji Yan: "..."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review looked over, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

How could there be such a delicate yet not seductive, fair-skinned and beautiful girl, whose beauty could topple kingdoms?

As his gaze moved upwards, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review froze on the spot, his pupils dilated, and a hint of fear visibly appeared on his face.

This, this is...

What brings such an important person to this place!

A cold sweat instantly broke out on the back of the Minister of Justice.

Shen Yu huddled behind Shen Qingye, completely obscuring the Dali Temple Minister's expression from this angle.

She continued, "My lord, although I do not know what mistake Shen Jiao has made, I still hope that while you investigate the truth, you can punish her leniently."

Now she dared not call her "sister" anymore. What a joke! The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review had come; she didn't want to be related to Shen Jiao anymore.

"Who wants to arrest Miss Chen?" The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review coldly glanced at Chen Yu.

Even if he had a thousand or eight hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare!

Shen Yu's lips stiffened, and she felt a pang of panic.

Weren't you here to see Shen Jiao?

Who are they here to arrest?

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review looked at the Third Prince: "Arrest him!"

The black-clad guards immediately subdued the Third Prince. In front of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the guards of the Third Prince's residence dared not act recklessly.

"How dare you capture me, the prince? Li Su! Are you out of your mind?"

The third prince struggled, both frightened and angry, and could only shout at the top of his lungs to bolster his courage.

Lord Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Lord Li... what, what's going on here?"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review said calmly, "The steward of the Third Prince's residence is surnamed Zhou?"

The Third Prince frowned: "So what if it is?"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review said, "Last spring, there was a young woman who came to Shengcheng to visit relatives. Everyone is familiar with this story. This young woman is the younger sister of Meng Dalang's sweetheart."

Everyone nodded in agreement; this was indeed a familiar topic.

But what does the Meng family's affairs have to do with the Third Prince?

Madam Gu had told the gossip about the Meng family from the very beginning, and Shen Jiao still remembered that poor girl who died along with her unborn child.

For some reason, upon hearing this, a figure flashed through Shen Yu's mind, and her legs went weak, almost causing her to fall.

Shen Qingye quickly caught her, "Yu'er? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating so much?"

Chen Yu tried to soften his tone: "It's nothing, it's just a bit hot."

Shen Qingye had no suspicions.

Today's sun is the biggest and brightest it has been during my time in southern Xinjiang.

The Third Prince was extremely impatient. "Meng Jia Dalang's sister is not my sister. Li Su, release me immediately, or don't blame me for complaining to Father Emperor. You'll be in for a world of trouble!"

"Third Prince, please be patient and allow me to finish speaking."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review calmly said, "Before coming to Shengcheng, this young lady's hometown had already discovered the so-called cursed insect, which is the crayfish that Miss Shen Jiao mentioned."

"This creature is multiplying too much, affecting the rice harvest. She remembered that her brother-in-law was a famous scholar who had achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations. So she took this creature to Shengcheng to find her relatives and try to find a way to solve the problem of the crayfish."

"Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. She had just arrived in Shengcheng when she heard the news of her elder sister's death. The long journey and the huge blow caused her to faint by the roadside. Coincidentally, the Third Prince happened to be passing by and took her back to his residence."

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's arrogant and domineering attitude vanished instantly.

He remembered!

That day, he had just been scolded and was returning home from the palace. In a bad mood, he looked around and happened to see a young woman who had fainted on the road.

Sometimes, after indulging in too much rich food, you need to eat some vegetarian food to cleanse your system.

After all, why not sleep with a young woman you picked up on the street?

Unexpectedly, this young woman, despite her poor appearance, had an incredibly fierce temper. After he forced himself on her, she threatened to kill herself.

As the dignified Third Prince, what kind of woman couldn't he have?

Why does Father Emperor look down on him?

Does his elder brother look down on him?

Even a poor, destitute piece of trash looks down on him?

The young lady's behavior enraged the Third Prince, who, in a fit of anger, handed her over to Steward Zhou for discipline.

The Third Prince turned his head away from the Minister of Justice, saying, "It is her good fortune to have me take her back. Otherwise, she would have died on the street long ago. She should thank me."

"Third Prince!" The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review's face darkened, and he said sternly, "You had your steward turn him into a human pig, and this is what you call being grateful to the Third Prince?"

Shen Jiao frowned slightly and couldn't help but tug at the tyrant's sleeve.

Ji Yan smoothed the uneven lines between her brows with her fingertips. "There is a good side to the world, and naturally there is a bad side. You don't need to worry about everyone."

Shen Qingcheng said in a deep voice, "She suffered misfortune, but fortunately she met an upright and honest official who sought justice for her. I hope that in her next life, she can be reborn into a good family and live a happy and peaceful life."

The Third Prince's expression changed drastically.

What? How did it become a human pig?

"These were all done by Steward Zhou. What does this have to do with me? I'm innocent! I only asked him to teach him a lesson. How did that turn into a human pig? Lord Li, you haven't investigated this properly."

Shen Yu broke out in a cold sweat and clenched her fists.

Shen Qingye kept fanning her, saying, "That's strange, that's strange. It's not actually that hot inside."

Shen Yu's face was pale: "Perhaps it's due to my constitution, Second Brother. I'm not feeling well. May I leave here first?"

"Why not? Second brother will take you away right now."

Before Shen Qingye and Shen Yu could take two steps, the black-clad guards stopped them, drawing half of their gleaming knives.
