These words sparked even louder discussions among the surrounding people.

"So Su Muxi really did kill someone!"

"I thought it was just a rumor yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Beggars are human beings too! How could Su Muxi kill people indiscriminately?! And she's a medical student!"

…

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Su Muxi patted Su Xing on the shoulder, signaling her to get down.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and whispered in Su Muxi's ear about what had happened the day before.

Su Muxi knew that everyone was keeping this from her for her own good, and she did indeed have McQueen kill many beggars in the dilapidated temple.

But since Bai Mengying started it first, this matter is not so simple!

Meanwhile, Ye Zeyu had already clashed with Zheng Yi.

"Lord He is indeed very responsible! But does Lord He have any evidence to arrest this person?!"

Ye Zeyu's tone was full of threat.

Before He Zhengyang could speak, Zheng Yi spoke first, saying, "What do you mean there's no evidence? There are three witnesses! Those three beggars said they saw Su Muxi order a guard to kill all the beggars outside the city! If those three hadn't been hiding behind the Buddha statue at the time, they would have certainly met the same fate!"

Then, with a mocking tone, he said, "Prince Yong'an, I've actually helped you. Otherwise, if you had married such a wicked woman, you wouldn't know how much you would have regretted it!"

I don't know what Ye Zeyu was thinking, that he actually wanted to marry Su Muxi, who is both ugly and vicious.

As for the rumors circulating outside that Su Muxi's birthmark had disappeared and that she had become as beautiful as an angel, he didn't believe a word of it.

If birthmarks could disappear, they would have disappeared long ago. Why wait until now?!

Besides, these are just rumors; who has actually seen them?

Su Muxi and Mai Kun's eyes flashed with doubt after hearing Zheng Yi's words.

They killed all the beggars outside the city?

There's definitely something fishy about this!

"Go tell McQueen not to say anything, no matter what the other person says."

Su Muxi whispered instructions to Bai Zhi.

Although Bai Zhi did not know the reason, she did as instructed.

Just then, Zheng Yi urged He Zhengyang to have someone arrest the person.

"Such a vicious person, why haven't you taken him away for interrogation yet?! What is Lord He waiting for?!"

"I'll see who dares to lay a finger on my queen! Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of my way!"

Ye Ziyu shouted coldly, his whole body filled with murderous intent.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the guards of the Prince's mansion drew their steel knives.

Its imposing presence was truly terrifying.

The constables had never seen such a scene before, and hesitated to step forward.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi took a step back before speaking, "Prince Yong'an, what do you mean by this! This is the capital, under the emperor's nose, where the law must be upheld!"

"Su Muxi brutally murdered an innocent beggar; her crime is unforgivable. Are you trying to cover it up?!"

"Obstructing the government office from arresting and trying people, where does that leave the law?!"

"Or is it that Prince Yong'an doesn't respect the law and disregards the current emperor?!"

As she spoke, she looked at Su Muxi beside her.

"Hmph! Some people call others venomous, but they themselves are venomous!"

He was determined to get back at Su Muxi for all the grievances Yingying had suffered!

Ye Ziyu's eyes were bloodshot, and killing intent enveloped his entire body. He reached out to snatch the steel knife from the guard beside him, but was grabbed by a pair of gentle little hands.

"It's alright. Lord He is only doing his duty. I'll go and see for myself. The innocent will clear themselves, and I believe Lord He will surely give me justice."

The gentle voice temporarily soothed Ye Zeyu's murderous intent.

Immediately afterwards, Su Muxi directly tore off the red veil covering her head in front of everyone.

Her stunning beauty was exposed to everyone's view.

"What a nice view!"

"Is she a fairy?!"

"I never expected Su Muxi to become so beautiful after removing her birthmark!"

…

Zheng Yi, who was originally quite arrogant, also showed a look of infatuation after seeing Su Muxi's appearance.

All the prejudice I had against Su Muxi vanished at that moment.

How could such a beautiful woman possibly kill someone?

But now he was in a difficult position, after all, he was the one who brought the person to the government office, he had forced He Zhengyang to come, and he was the one who just accused Su Muxi of murder...

"Well... there might be some misunderstanding here. Miss Su, it would be good if you went to the yamen with Lord He to take a look."

Zheng Yi's voice had lost its previous assertiveness and arrogance, becoming gentle and cautious.

His eyes remained fixed on Su Muxi's beautiful face, and he unconsciously swallowed, his cheeks gradually turning red.

Looking at Zheng Yi's drooling expression, Ye Zeyu wished he could gouge out Zheng Yi's eyes.

But Su Muxi tugged at Ye Zeyu's hand and smiled slightly at him.

He then turned to Zheng Yi, the smile in his eyes vanishing, and said indifferently, "In that case, let's do as Young Master Zheng says and go to the government office."

Zheng Yi felt his heart flutter at Su Muxi's soft address of "Young Master Zheng" and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let's go to the government office and take a look."

What started as taking people back for trial has now turned into simply visiting the government office.

The local residents, however, did not perceive anything wrong with it.

But Su Muxi sneered inwardly.

Oh!

People really do like to judge by appearances!

If being beautiful means you can do whatever you want, then can she and Ye Zeyu really ignore the law?

Su Muxi sat in a bright red sedan chair and was carried to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office.
