Yu Tang's gaze was so strong that it was difficult for Pei Yan to ignore it.

But he didn't quite understand what this Miss Yu was going to do, and why she suddenly pointed the finger at him.

Pei Yan was pondering in his mind when Yu Tang's focused gaze suddenly disappeared.

He sighed inwardly, then looked up to see the family guards escorting two muscular, fat guys in.

It should be those two refugees.

Pei Yan looked at it carefully.

His clothes were tattered, his spirits were depressed, and purple scars could be seen on his exposed skin.

Pei Yan tried hard not to curl his lips.

After all, he has no experience. Since he is here to be a witness, he must be neat and tidy. The way he looks, people can tell that he has suffered a lot. Wouldn't that give others something to catch him?

Pei Yan drank a sip of tea quietly and felt that today's tea tasted quite good.

He whispered to Pei Man who was standing beside him: "Who brewed the tea today? Black tea from Tongshan?"

"Yes!" Pei Man said in a low voice.

Pei Yan didn't have any special requirements for tea. He chose Tongshan black tea to entertain his guests today simply because the tea the Pei family received this year was of top quality.

"The weather is a bit chilly. Miss Yan in your room said that you have had a bad stomach these days, so she asked us to prepare some stomach-warming tea." Pei Man continued, "If you don't like it, I'll ask someone to change it."

"No need!" Pei Yan said, "It's still okay!"

As he spoke, he felt Miss Yu's gaze on him again.

What's going on?

He raised his head calmly and glanced at Yu Tang.

He saw Miss Yu's big almond-shaped eyes staring at him as wide as longans.

Pei Yan was slightly surprised.

He had never seen anyone's eyes so wide in his life... no, that's not right... except a cat.

And the more he thought about it, the more it seemed like it.

The eyebrows and eyes are similar too.

Like an angry cat.

Pei Yan couldn't help but take another look.

Yu Tang was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

The hall is too quiet.

Everyone was waiting for Pei Yan to speak.

Pei Yan was discussing with Pei Man what kind of tea to drink.

No one knew what Pei Yan meant for a moment.

Most of these gentry came to testify for the Yu family, or should I say, for the Li and Yu families, out of respect for the Pei family, because Pei Yan was doing justice for the first time since he became the clan leader. Only two or three of them came to support the Yu family and speak for them. As for which family was truly right, it depended on what Pei Yan said and whose side Pei Yan stood on. Pei Yan's attitude was crucial.

With his behavior, no one is sure what to do. When the two parties start arguing, what attitude should they take and which side should they stand on?

Li Duan felt relieved.

At least, Pei Yan did not obviously stand on the side of the Yu family.

He attacked first without waiting for the Yu family to say anything, and said in a gentle manner: "I think these are the two witnesses that Yu Xiucai mentioned. It is indeed beyond my expectation. These two people were once protected by my family. Later, when the government came to investigate, it was found that they were pirates who had fled from Fujian. Later, the farm released these refugees. These two people once tried to blackmail me, but I didn't expect that they would become witnesses for the Yu family."

The implication is that these two people are originally swindlers who can even take advantage of their benefactors for money, so they are not credible as witnesses. He also specifically pointed out that Yu Wen is a scholar, hoping to suppress Yu Wen with his own fame, so that everyone will have a preconceived idea and think that his words are more credible.

Yu Wen had already recognized Li Duan's cunningness in the previous confrontation with him. Hearing what he said, his face turned pale. Fortunately, he was not without experience. He did not get impatient because of Li Duan's words. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Whether these two refugees are bandits or not, it is still to be verified by the government. It is too early for the eldest son of the Li family to make a final judgment at this time."

Li Duan called him a scholar, so he called Li Duan the eldest son of the Li family, using age and seniority to suppress Li Duan, which was what Yu Tang reminded him of just now.

"But at that time, someone from the Wei family saw that it was these two people who went to look for Wei Xiaoshan. These two people also admitted that they were ordered by the Li family to call Wei Xiaoshan out in the name of Wei Xiaoshan's childhood friend, and then tricked him into drowning in the creek behind the Wei family, and then dumped the body into the river where Wei Xiaoshan often went to fish. I don't think anyone would randomly accuse them of murder!"

"Mr. Yu is wrong!" Li Duan said, looking at Yu Tang, whose face was tense and full of anger, and whose beauty was even more dazzling, and said, "They are already desperate criminals. What does it matter if they have committed many or few murders? When faced with a life-and-death situation, everyone will think about saving their own life first. How can we trust what these two people say?"

He didn't expect that Miss Yu would come too.

She was dressed as a servant, but her smooth forehead and eyes as bright as the stars could not hide her brilliance.

He didn't want things to end up like this with the Yu family.

But some things are just fate.

If you don't crush it at this time, you will never be able to control it.

He had never seen such beauty before.

The playfulness and agility that emanate from the eyes make people involuntarily want to find out what kind of person can have such eyes and such a gaze.

Li Duan glanced at Pei Yan quickly.

He was a little worried that Pei Yan... would discover the beauty of Miss Yu and become partial to the Yu family, or even have some bad thoughts.

It’s good that Miss Yu is like this.

Safety!

His mind raced, and he focused his attention on Yu Wen again.

Yu Wen's face was as red as a pot, and he said, "According to what the eldest son of the Li family said, what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears may not be true. I wonder what is considered true?"

Li Duan was a little surprised.

He thought Yu Wen would continue to argue with him about the testimonies of the two refugees, but Yu Wen kicked the ball to his side.

Do they have any witnesses or physical evidence?

Li Duan was a little more cautious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "I just can't figure out why our family must harm the life of the second son of the Wei family?"

Yu Wen wanted to speak.

Li Duan spoke before he could, "I know you think that we wanted to marry Miss Yu and were afraid that she would marry into the Wei family, so you killed the second son of the Wei family. But Mr. Yu, don't you think this is ridiculous? The second son of the Wei family is a life, not a cat or a puppy. We want to marry Miss Yu, not to make enemies with the Yu family! We Even if the family wanted to force it, they should have hired a few hooligans to harass Miss Yu, and then arranged for my brother to be the hero and save the beauty, so that Miss Yu would be grateful and the marriage could be completed. Yes, Miss Yu was harassed by the hooligans before, and it was our family who did it out of helplessness, I admit this. But our family cannot bear the blame for instructing the refugees to kill the second son of the Wei family!"

No one knows about this yet.

As soon as Li Duan finished speaking, everyone began to discuss in low voices.

"There is such a thing!"

"The Li family really...really wants this marriage."

"It seems that Miss Yu is as beautiful as the rumors say!"

The endless noises made Yu Wen so angry that he could not speak, and it also made Yu Yuanteng stand up all of a sudden, and walked towards Li Duan with clenched fists.

In his previous life, Yu Yuan had also beaten Li Duan.

Li Duan was cunning. He didn't even try to fight back in front of everyone. Everyone praised Li Duan for his magnanimity, but secretly, Li Duan sent people to put Yu Yuan in a sack. If Ah Liu, a pear seller in Xiaomei Creek, hadn't accidentally found out and informed Yu Yuan, Yu Yuan would not have escaped. It was from that time that Yu Tang began to suspect the Li family and Li Duan.

Yu Tang stepped forward, grabbed Yu Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Brother, impulse can't solve any problems. Since we are here to reason with the Li family, I can't clear myself, and my reputation will not be spotless from now on. But compared with the life of the second son of the Wei family, these are nothing. We are here today to seek justice for the second son, you must not lose the big picture for the small."

Mr. Wei was sitting in front of them and heard everything clearly. He burst into tears and thought that if Yu Tang still hadn't found a marriage in two or three years, he should let Wei Xiaochuan marry Yu Tang.

In short, we can't let such a good girl like Yu Tang just find someone to marry her to.

Pei Yan, who was sitting a little far away with his ears perked up, did not hear clearly what Yu Tang said, but he felt that Miss Yu must have given some advice to the family again.

Seeing her calm expression, it was obvious that Li Duan’s words did not irritate her.

Either she has such a broad mind and tolerance, or she has already thought of a countermeasure.

But whether it is the former or the latter, it is admirable that a woman can achieve this.

He suddenly wanted to know what kind of woman Miss Yu was.

What on earth did she go through to transform herself into a pearl, with her own unique radiance?

Pei Yan suddenly wanted to know what the Yu family would say and do next.

And the Yu family, or should I say Yu Tang, did not disappoint him.

He saw Yu Tang straighten his clothes, walk out from behind Master Wei calmly and steadily, and stand in front of Li Duan.

Li Duan was surprised.

The country gentlemen who were whispering were all speechless. From their initial surprise, to their sudden realization and interest after guessing Yu Tang's identity, until they were all silent as a tree, staring at her with sharp eyes, waiting for her to speak, it only took a few sips of tea.

This is better than Yu Tang expected.

At least these country gentlemen did not immediately shout out who she was, thinking that a woman like her should not stand here and speak.

Yu Tang gained a little more confidence, and his eyes, which were already as bright as stars, sparkled even brighter.

"Mr. Li," she said in a gentle voice and a calm demeanor. She looked at Li Duan with a friendly gaze, and introduced herself boldly without any haste. "I am Yu. I wonder if Mr. Li knows me?"

Li Duan never dreamed that Yu Tang would show up in person.

Why didn't anyone in the Yu family stop her?

Does she know what the consequences of doing this will be?

Apart from anything else, she can't escape the reputation of being a shrew.

Li Duan was confused and replied woodenly, "I know him."

Yu Tang smiled slightly and said, "If I heard correctly, what you meant just now is to admit that those hooligans who harassed me in the Yu Family Manor were instigated by your family?"

This is an indisputable fact.

If used properly, it would be like Wenjun selling wine, a good thing among literati and would not affect the reputation of the Li family or Li Jun.

Li Duan admitted it.
