Shen Youying nodded: "Whether you have been wronged or not, the truth will come out once His Highness has thoroughly investigated. Madam Xu, there is no need to be too anxious. You are blocking the road and begging me in such disheveled clothes. I am just a woman and I can't help you. If the people around us see this, it will look like I am bullying you."

Shen Youying, supporting her belly, smiled faintly and said, "But I'm just a pregnant woman, how could I possibly have such great abilities?"

Her words were reasonable and well-founded, and her gentle and dignified demeanor, compared to the obsequious yet fierce-looking Xu mother and daughter, made her even more convincing.

Moreover, the people in the city had suffered so much humiliation at the hands of the Xu family over the years, so seeing them in distress now naturally made them applaud.

Then some onlookers chimed in, "That's right! The princess is so gentle and weak, she looks like she has a good temper. It's good enough that she's not bullied by you, how could she possibly bully you back?"

"Have we all forgotten how the Xu family bullied men and women?"

"That's right, that's right. My wife was out setting up her stall once, and because she didn't see Miss Xu, she accidentally bumped into her and had two teeth knocked out. Now she still speaks with a lisp!"

"It's not surprising that the Xu family would collude with the Tibetans. I heard that the Xu family suddenly became rich; they weren't this wealthy before."

Suddenly, people on the street were saying all sorts of things.

Xu Shi stopped listening, unable to control herself, and stood up, hands on her hips, cursing: "You lowly people, are you out of your minds? If you keep spouting nonsense, do you believe I won't tear your mouths apart?"

Her shout did indeed silence the street for a moment.

But soon, the boos from the onlookers grew even louder. After all, the Xu family was no longer what it used to be, and these people no longer needed to fear the Xu family's power.

Because of Xu's words, the people on the street were outraged, and some children even threw rotten vegetable leaves and stones at them.
