The entire Shen family came out and knocked on the Li family's door, which had already attracted a lot of attention.

Aunt Li's shout brought the villagers out in a flash.

Little Li felt her vision go black.

My goodness, they're practically begging everyone to come and see!

Sure enough, many villagers looked through the open gate and, seeing how lively it was inside, immediately asked what was going on.

"Brother Shen, what are you doing so late at night?"

"Yeah, why is the whole family here? Did they start arguing with the Li family again?"

Before Old Man Shen could answer, Aunt Li interrupted impatiently, "Everyone, come and see! The Shen family and our Li family have never gotten along. Yesterday, their little girl had an accident, and today they came to our door saying that my daughter-in-law was the one who caused it! What are the Shen family up to? Are they trying to use this opportunity to frame our family?"

Aunt Li deliberately shouted so loudly that she attracted all the neighbors.

She wanted to show everyone what Shen Jia'an was really thinking, daring to bully her family like this, as if he didn't respect her, Li Chunhua, at all!

Old Man Shen laughed in exasperation, then stepped forward and said, "Alright, then everyone take a good look!"

Old Man Shen gestured for Shen Jiahao to bring over the two handkerchiefs and held them high.

"Everyone, take a look. This piece of cloth was found by Xiaowei behind that willow tree by the river yesterday. It's the piece of cloth the thief used to smother Hongfang, right?"

Many people in the crowd had gone to see it yesterday, and they naturally recognized that the cloth was the one Tang Xiaowei had found yesterday, the one coated with sleeping potion.

"Yes, that's right."

"Yes, we saw Dr. Zhu say it ourselves yesterday!"

"What's the other piece of cloth?"

Old Man Shen continued, "This other piece of cloth was found by my son Jiawen near the place where he found the piece of cloth smeared with sleeping potion. Interestingly, the cloth smeared with sleeping potion actually smelled of spices, and the spices on both pieces of cloth are exactly the same! Dacheng just said that this blue patterned handkerchief belongs to his wife!"

As soon as Old Man Shen finished speaking, whispers quickly broke out among the crowd.

Li Dacheng finally realized that the blue patterned handkerchief belonged to his wife.

Does Old Man Shen mean that the cloth smeared with sleeping potion also belonged to his wife?

Was it Xiao Li who smothered Wang Hongfang unconscious?

Aunt Li was also so surprised that her eyes widened, and she didn't react at all.

What's going on? She invited the villagers to see the ugly side of the Shen family, how come it actually has something to do with Little Li?

Li Dacheng couldn't believe it: "Zhao Di, say something!"

Village Chief Ma, who lived far from Li's house, also rushed over upon hearing the news, followed by the same officials Qin Renjie had sent the previous night.

As soon as Little Li saw the officials, she was terrified, fearing that they would arrest her and throw her in jail.

At this moment, Ms. Li was sweating profusely, but fortunately she still had some rationality and barely managed to hold on: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I smothered Hongfang unconscious and kidnapped Lili? But I was chatting with people the whole time, and everyone saw it!"

What Xiao Li said was true. Later, when Shen Jialuo and Tiedan came back to call for help, Xiao Li went with them, and some people saw it.

After learning the whole story, Village Chief Ma found it very strange.

Even if Ms. Li has witnesses, how did her handkerchief end up there?

This is just too much of a coincidence!

Little Li sneered. As long as she had witnesses, these people would never be able to find out it was her!

Besides, she was just a messenger; she was neither a kidnapper nor one of those human traffickers.

What does it have to do with her?

Moreover, that group of people is backed by the prefect. No matter how much Magistrate Qin wants to help the Shen family, what good is it? A higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking one. Can a mere county magistrate fight against the prefect?

"Even if it were mine, so what? That handkerchief is long gone. Maybe the thief just happened to find it?"

The Li family was stunned.

The Shen family members looked very unhappy. How could they not know that Little Li was talking nonsense?

How could it be that both handkerchiefs were picked up at the same time?

Moreover, the crape myrtle fragrance on the handkerchief was weaker on the part where the sleeping potion was applied, but the fragrance on the blue patterned handkerchief was strong, clearly indicating that it had been applied recently!

However, there are indeed witnesses, so the Shen family can't simply say that so many people are making things up.

The Shen family was extremely helpless, especially Yang, who was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Just as Little Li was feeling smug, and Aunt Li was taking the opportunity to mock the Shen family for settling a personal score, and Village Chief Ma was about to step in to smooth things over to prevent the situation from escalating, a familiar voice rang out sharply.

"You may not be the one who kidnapped Lili, but you are an accomplice of the culprit!"

The villagers looked back curiously, and when they saw the newcomers, they all made way for them.

The Shen family members were almost in tears.

Because the people who came were none other than Granny Shen and her entourage, and their beloved Lili was being led by Granny Shen perfectly intact!

"Lili! My daughter!"

"younger sister!"

The Shen family didn't care about the Little Li family or the Big Li family anymore; Lili returned safely!

The Shen family surrounded Lili, showering her with concern and care. Yang Shi cried uncontrollably, and even Shen Jiahao and the others had red eyes. Shen Jialuo and Shen Jiaqing wailed loudly, their saliva dripping from their mouths.

Lili comforted them one by one in a low voice, and was hugged so tightly that she could hardly breathe. In the end, it was Old Lady Shen who said that catching the thief was the most important thing, and the group turned around with snot and tears streaming down their faces and glared fiercely at Little Li.

Wang Ergou returned with the Shen family, followed by a group of government officials. This time, the officials were led by Master Huang. The villagers immediately realized that Master Huang was probably the head of the officials, and they all dared not speak, only asking Wang Ergou in low voices what had happened.

Wang Ergou caught a glimpse of Master Huang leading the constables to talk to the constables who were originally in Xinghua Village. He then glanced at Little Li, who was staring at Lili and trembling, and sneered before telling her everything.

Lili, on the other hand, remained quite calm. She glanced at Little Li, who was staring at her in terror, and greeted her in a good mood: "Hi."

That's how I greet your brother too.

Little Li was trembling as if she had seen a ghost, and she almost couldn't stand up. Li Dacheng helped her up: "What's wrong with you? Why are you shaking so badly?"

Mrs. Li: ......

As Lili listened to her brothers recounting what had happened while she was away, she couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Little Li had truly been ruined by the men around her.

With Lili back, the Shen family immediately calmed down. After listening to Old Mrs. Shen and Second Brother Shen talk about Liu Dashi, what else could they not understand?
