Chapter 173 Not only a pickpocket, but also a beggar
When Xu Zhiyi heard what everyone said, she immediately understood. It was another one of those house-fighting dramas. It was probably because this girl was in the way and was going to ruin her innocence.
Shen Changan: "Madam, I just saw a woman over there, who seemed to be secretly paying attention to this side. More importantly, she gave me a very familiar feeling."
Xu Zhiyi: "Hmm? Looks familiar? Maybe you've seen this person somewhere before! Okay, let's go down the mountain!"
"Auntie!! Where have you been? Why aren't you here when I'm here?"
"Yin Yin, what are you talking about? I've been looking for you everywhere, and you're...oh, how could you do such a thing? You and Master Li are about to get engaged!"
Xu Zhiyi walked a few steps and heard the so-called aunt's voice. He turned around curiously to take a look.
"Madam??"
The two brothers were very confused when they saw Xu Zhiyi suddenly stop, and followed her line of sight. Shen Wuyou was surprised and said, “Madam, this person really looks familiar!”
Shen Changan: "Madam, that was her I just saw. She was hiding and watching the fun."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi squinted his eyes and nodded: "How can I not look familiar? Her facial features are quite similar to that old witch of the Xu family."
When Shen Changan heard Xu Zhiyi's words, he couldn't help but guess: "Is she the old witch's illegitimate daughter? Or is she related to the old witch's family?"
Shen Wuyou: "Brother, I think you are right, otherwise how could she make her expression look like an old witch even when she spoke?"
"Aunt, you have to believe me, I really didn't, I don't know him..."
"Yinyin, everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Even if auntie believes you alone, she can't stop Youyou from talking! Besides, how did he know your nickname?"
"Yinyin, in order to avoid being blamed by the Li family, it would be bad if your father was implicated! So go back and take the initiative to reject Mr. Li's marriage proposal!"
"Yin Yin, now that things have developed to this point, let's be honest. We love each other, so let's get married."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yin collapsed and yelled, "Who is in love with you? You are shameless..."
"Yin Yin, how could you lie? We have been seeing each other secretly for a month!"
Xu Zhiyi looked at the helpless and crying girl Yinyin, and glanced at the woman next to her who looked like an old witch. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she saw that woman plotting against the innocence of a young girl.
In fact, what was more important was that she had a face that was 50% similar to that of the old witch Xu, and she just didn't want her plan to succeed.
Looking at Shen Changan, Shen Wuyou gestured: "Changan, Wuyou, let's go over and meet that scheming and vicious old woman."
"Yinyin, since Qingbai is not here, I think..."
Xu Zhiyi walked into the crowd and interrupted, "What do you mean by innocent? It's fine if outsiders don't know about it, but as this girl's aunt, why are you so eager to convict your niece?"
The woman looked at Xu Zhiyi maliciously, as if she had been hit on the head. "Who are you? I'm doing this for my niece's good. Why are you, an outsider, looking for trouble?"
"She was hugging a stranger in an intimate manner right under the eyes of the people. As her aunt, I am powerless! How can I shut up so many people?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Oh? Really? Your niece said she didn't know this man, but you, as his aunt, didn't think about finding out the truth at the first time, but instead rushed to help confirm this man's lies."
"You... Humph, I'm teaching my own niece, why are you, an outsider, involved?"
"Of course I have to participate, because I had my money stolen by a pickpocket, and it was the man in front of me who bumped into me and my money disappeared immediately."
"My fellow countrymen, do you think there are such coincidences in the world?"
Everyone shook their heads upon hearing this:
"This...isn't it really a pickpocket?"
"Also, does he really know the girl?"
"I don't know her, how can I know her name?"
Xu Zhiyi looked at everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, we can't wrongly accuse a good person today, but we can't let a bad person go. Let's report to the government. If I really wronged him, I will compensate him. He is really upright and should agree to sue the government."
When the woman heard the word "official", her hands trembled under her sleeves and she shouted hurriedly, "Don't sue the official!"
Then she realized that she had overreacted, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and tried to make amends:
"If we report this to the authorities, then the whole town will know about Yinyin... Girl, my Yinyin is already like this. After this incident, everyone will forget about it. If we report this to the authorities, then there will be a record of her in the books. Wouldn't this make Yinyin unable to get rid of this shackle of innocence forever?"
Yin Yin suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I am not afraid, I am willing to report to the police, I will definitely clear my name"
When the man next to her heard Yin Yin's words, he suddenly panicked and started to look evasive.
Xu Zhiyi stared at him and said coldly: "In fact, there is a way without suing the authorities..."
"That is to arrest the maid who delivered the message and interrogate her. Why did she tell Miss Yin Yin that your aunt was waiting here?"
“Also, this man is lying…” Before Xu Zhiyi could finish his words, Shen Wuyou kicked the man beside him.
“Ouch!!!”
Xu Zhiyi looked at the man who was kicked to the ground by Shen Wuyou, and asked coldly: "You said that you and Miss Yinyin have been in love for a month. How can you prove it? You can't convict him just because of you, right?"
"I...I..." Bah, what proof did he have? It was just that a woman had just given him ten taels of silver and asked him to do this. She didn't tell him anything except that the girl's name was Yin Yin.
Xu Zhiyi: "What? You don't want to say it anymore? If you don't want to say it, then I'll just ask you to go to the government and tell them! Also, I now suspect that you stole my money."
Then he approached Shen Wuyou calmly, stuffed a purse into his hand, and looked at Shen Wuyou for a hint. Shen Wuyou received Xu Zhiyi's eyes and understood very well. He quickly pulled the man's clothes deliberately: "Tell me, did you steal our silver?"
The man struggled: "I didn't, I didn't hit anyone just now, you are slandering me"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou grabbed his collar and threw him, and suddenly two purses fell from him.
At this point, everyone fell silent, staring at the two purses that fell out in amazement! !
Xu Zhiyi picked up one of the purses and held it high: "Fellow villagers, this is the purse I lost. I didn't expect it to fall out of his body. So, can we trust what a pickpocket says?"
"I think he is not only a pickpocket, but also a beggar. Uncles and aunts, he is a dangerous person! What if he sets his sights on your daughter one day?"
