"Who are you? How dare you commit violence in the street?"
"Do you know who I am? My mother is the Chief Secretary!"
"Put me down right now, or you'll regret it!"
Miss Su is still dreaming of bullying others by relying on her power.
Unfortunately, she ran into Lin Xue's hands. Such a malignant tumor must be removed one by one.
"Smack!"
"The Seventh Princess's actions are not for you to argue about!"
Just as Miss Su was about to shout, she was suddenly slapped across the face.
In all her life, she has only ever hit others; she has never been slapped by anyone.
So this time, the Su family woman was really furious.
"You bastard, how dare you hit me?"
"What seventh or eighth princess? I don't care!"
"When my mother arrives, she'll teach you all a lesson!"
Miss Su still hasn't grasped her situation, and the things she says are appalling.
The entire Maple Leaf Kingdom belongs to the Lin family. How dare she, a mere young lady from the family of a minor official, disregard the current princess?
"It seems that this Miss Su has really met her match this time!"
"Hmph, such a malignant tumor should have been removed long ago."
"Exactly! Those bad apples are a dime a dozen!"
The people began to discuss the matter, and the boy who had been held down by the wicked servants helped his elderly mother up and came before Lin Xue and Su Wuyai.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, you two kind souls!"
The two knelt down directly before Lin Xue and the other person, and the young boy was about to kowtow to Lin Xue.
"Rise! I am a princess of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, and it is my duty to protect my people!"
"You should take your mother back quickly. Remember to treat the wound on your forehead when you get back, so it doesn't become a scar!"
"If anyone dares to bully you or cause you trouble again, come find me at the Seventh Prince's residence!"
Lin Xue gestured, and the guards helped the two of them up.
He said a few words of comfort and sent the two of them home.
"My Lady, you are truly my hero!"
Su Wuyai looked at Lin Xue with some admiration. Lin Xue, who had not yet formally integrated into the matriarchal society, was somewhat surprised to be looked at like that.
However, he remained expressionless and simply continued strolling around the streets with his entourage.
As for the matter concerning Miss Su, she has already ordered the guards to investigate.
If this is true.
At that time, not only will Miss Su be punished, but even her mother, Chief Secretary Su, will be punished as well.
Inside the yamen (government office).
After strolling around the streets with Xiao Wuyai, Lin Xue came here.
The guards have collected all the information about Miss Su's crimes.
At that moment, the evidence was placed on the table in front of her.
Even Miss Su's mother, Chief Secretary Su, was brought to the courtroom.
Lin Xue looked at the two people kneeling below the hall.
This was her first time experiencing a trial, but because the evidence was conclusive, regardless of whether the two defendants confessed or not, they would not live past tomorrow.
I originally thought it was a rich kid doing bad things, but I didn't expect that this Chief Secretary Su was no good either!
She had quite a few concubines in her harem, whose despicable acts were no less than those of her daughters.
"Someone come here!"
Lin Xue shouted to the constables beside her.
"Here you go!"
Two officials walked to the front of the hall and bowed to Lin Xue.
"Drag these two filthy, law-breaking, corrupt bastards out and chop them up!"
As soon as Lin Xue said this, the Su mother and daughter widened their eyes.
"Seventh Princess, Seventh Princess, you can't do this!"
"You convicted my daughter and me without even interrogating us. If this gets out, the whole world will laugh at us!"
Su Changshi struggled frantically, how could this be?
So what if she is the Queen's child?
How can they be convicted without any trial?
"snort!"
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, is a trial still necessary?"
"Drag these two bastards who are disrupting the court proceedings out and behead them. Then take men to the Su residence and ransack it!"
Lin Xue dropped Ling Yu and then handed the evidence on the table to Liu, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who was standing to the side.
"Make two copies of this and post them on the notice board so that the people of Fengcheng can see the true face of this chief clerk!"
"Don't think that just because you've obtained an official position, you're something special and can abuse your power for personal gain and disregard the law!"
"The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it!"
"Evil people always show their true colors eventually, and that's when we'll teach them a lesson!"
Lin Xue's words were also a warning to Lord Liu.
As an official of Fengcheng government, even though he was under the emperor's nose, he had the responsibility to supervise his officials and the people.
However, a villain like the eldest daughter of the Su family appeared on the street, and she was even the legitimate daughter of a lowly servant...
If it were the child of a higher-ranking official, wouldn't they be incredibly arrogant?
"Seventh Princess, rest assured, this humble servant will certainly do his duty!"
Lord Liu was also trembling with fear, never expecting that this ancestor would go to the commoners' street today.
In fact, things like the eldest daughter of the Su family happen from time to time, and most of the time they turn a blind eye.
As long as no one reports it to the authorities, it's generally considered a private settlement.
Who told him to hold such a low-ranking official position? Even though he was in the Ministry of Justice, in this Fengcheng territory, if he offended someone, he didn't know if he would still have his position tomorrow.
After seeing Lin Xue off, Lord Liu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally, we've sent this ancestor away.
As soon as Lin Xue returned to the Seventh Prince's residence, she heard a servant report that someone in the palace had summoned her to the palace.
