After threatening the person, Anle left satisfied.
The person was kidnapped from the Yu family and brought to the Tang family, and then respectfully returned from the Tang family to the Yu family.
The situation changed overnight. Anle was comfortably waiting for Tang Muting to send the person back to the Yu residence, but instead of the person, she received a letter of indictment.
Tang Muting turned hostile.
After the matter was reported to the Tang family, the Tang family immediately turned their attention to the Yu family, who were her uncles. The men were detained in the palace and had not been able to return home for two days.
Su Mi'er then realized something was wrong and immediately sent Lüzhi to her maternal family, the Su residence, to inquire about the situation. The news she brought back was that the Tang family had caused this trouble, and the person had already been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
The charges against them were even more absurd, laughable, and utterly ridiculous.
The crime was actually because of the Pixiu statue that had been given to the Su family.
Everyone knows that the original Pixiu was sent from the Yu family, but the origin of this Pixiu is unknown. All that is known is that it was given to us by Commander Yu's little niece.
But where did her little niece get this? No one knew, so the Tang family seized on this point to make a big fuss, killing two birds with one stone.
One reason was to try and trick them into revealing the origin of the Pixiu. Once they confessed where the Pixiu came from, the Tang family would be able to openly learn about the source of the goods.
Secondly, of course, it was because they were angry that the Tang family deliberately retaliated against An Le's actions, intending to suppress her, which is why An Mangu was affected.
"What should we do? The other party is the Tang family. If the Tang family gets angry, even the royal family can't do anything about it. Even though Brother Xiao is someone close to the emperor, he can only let them do whatever they want." As a former laundry maid who worked for the Tang family, Xiao Caiyun knew all too well just how powerful the Tang family was.
Feng Xiaomei frowned. Once she entered the Yu family mansion, she was naturally Xiao Ge's person. Xiao Ge was her everything. If something happened to Xiao Ge, it would be like the sky falling down.
"No matter what, the Tang family is really being unreasonable. What does it matter to the Tang family where this thing came from? As long as it's not stolen or robbed, why do you care where it came from? When arresting someone, shouldn't there be evidence?"
"This arbitrary arresting of people—is there no law left?"
Green Branch, standing beside Su Mier, scoffed, "The Tang family wants to punish people, what law do they need? Besides, didn't you hear what the Tang family said? It's said that Shalos lost a national treasure. According to the description from Shalos's side, it's that Pixiu."
If that's the case, and if that Pixiu is indeed the national treasure that was lost, then it escalates into a matter of relations between the two countries, and it's no longer just about the Tang family dealing with people.
Feng Xiaomei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "But then again, isn't this just a scheme orchestrated by the Tang family and the Saros to seize that Pixiu statue?"
If this thing were truly stolen, who would dare to present it openly as a gift or for people to admire?
The Tang family blatantly robbed them; it was clearly banditry, yet they insisted on giving it a high-sounding reason to whitewash themselves.
As a result, they smeared my brother Xiao's reputation and pinned this mess on him.
Su Mi'er sighed, "It's obvious that everyone knows about this, and anyone with eyes can see it, but who can we reason with? The other party is the Tang family, and even my Su family can't afford to offend them. We still handed over the Pixiu, didn't we?"
Finally, the women's gazes all settled on Anle, who was sitting silently with her head down.
Anle lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression. Her lowered eyes were filled with gloom, cold and fierce.
Was she tricked by that fourth young master of the Tang family?
good!
very good!
She had originally intended to let them off the hook, but since they were so reckless and foolish as to come running into trouble, she wouldn't hold back and would show no mercy.
"Lele, where did you get that Pixiu from? If you can explain it clearly, then Brother Xiao will naturally be released without any trouble."
If they keep keeping quiet, the charges will be confirmed, and then there will be no hope left." Su Mi'er's eyes were red, as if she had placed all her hopes on An Le. She stared at An Le with hopeful eyes, hoping that she could come forward and clarify the matter of the Pixiu, and clear An Man Valley's name.
An Dalin didn't speak, but his gaze never left An Le. He really didn't know that thing was so valuable. He thought it was just a valuable ornament. He never expected it would bring him trouble.
Knowing how valuable that thing was, he would never agree to give it away under any circumstances.
But it's too late to say anything now; his son has already been arrested.
Looking at her granddaughter's remorseful expression, it's clear that the granddaughter didn't realize that the thing was so valuable that it would bring trouble.
"Lewa, it's just a coincidence that your lost item is the same as someone else's. Don't blame yourself for this. Just go and explain it to them."
Coincidence? Anle sneered inwardly. This was by no means a coincidence. Where could one possibly come across such a thing by chance?
If it really happens by chance, she'll happily perform a scene of swallowing a Pixiu whole.
"I already explained at the small banquet at the Tang family that the thing was given to me by a monk, and it wasn't something I stole from Saros."
"If we're going to look for someone, we should look for that monk."
"They don't care who gave you that thing. As long as it's in your hands and was given to you by an adult, they only care about evidence that they can see for themselves."
The fact that the Pixiu passed away from the adults is proof of this.
Such an explanation won't save you, sir, unless we can find that monk and make him admit that he gave you the item." Green Branch frowned. This matter has dragged the Su family into it, and now the Su family is trying to protect themselves, which is why they handed over the Pixiu.
Now, the Su family is too busy taking care of themselves to have any spare energy to help the master clear his name and restore his innocence.
But they were at a loss. Their little niece couldn't possibly produce any strong evidence to prove that the item wasn't stolen.
If this had happened without the Tang family's suppression, it would have been impossible to arrest the adult so forcefully. After all, the items couldn't prove that the adult had actually stolen them, and without any concrete crime, it wouldn't constitute a charge.
However, right now the Tang family is putting pressure on you and has no intention of leaving you any way out. They don't care whether you have committed a real crime or not. Anyway, the item is in your hands, unless you can find a way to prove that you didn't steal it.
Otherwise, if the Tang family says you stole it, then you stole it, and there's no room for argument.
