He said in a sinister tone, "Since you disagree with what I just told you, then you can only stay in Tingfeng Pavilion forever!"
"Don't blame your second uncle for being cruel. Your second uncle had no choice. You forced him into this."
After saying this, he raised his hand and waved it forward, his voice completely relaxed: "Arrest these people and torture them properly."
"Consider the good stuff inside as your reward."
At that moment, he would have expected to see a look of fear and regret on Wei Wei's face.
But to her surprise, she seemed to have heard a funny joke, her eyes flashing with sarcasm, and she even curled the corners of her mouth.
That's just asking for trouble!
He turned around abruptly, intending to teach the person behind him a lesson, but unexpectedly, he met a pair of cold eyes!
He was so frightened that he stumbled back several steps!
Yu Qian stood with his hands behind his back, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Second Master Meng, were you just talking to us?"
Master Meng felt as if he were in a dream.
Now so many government officials have suddenly appeared.
What about his men? Where did they go?
"What is Master Meng looking for? Is he looking for those dozen or so hooligans?"
Yu Qian gave a cold laugh: "You were just escorted to the yamen. If you really want to see me, I will grant your wish."
In despair, Master Meng slumped to the ground, becoming completely mentally impaired.
It's all over, everything is over.
Two or three fierce-looking constables rushed up and pinned him to the ground.
Wei Wei smiled at his grief-stricken appearance: "Second Uncle, it seems that the prison is more suitable for you."
Master Meng wouldn't dare to argue with him anymore.
The more arrogant he was just moments ago, the more humble he became now.
He struggled to lift his head from the ground, his face turning blood red from the effort: "Niece-in-law, I was just joking."
"How could I possibly lay a hand on you? It's all a misunderstanding, really, it's all a misunderstanding!"
He pleaded urgently, "Please talk to the official and beg him not to throw me back into jail!"
Seeing Wei Wei's unresponsive face, he finally broke down: "I was wrong... I was wrong... I was wrong, I shouldn't have set my sights on you!"
"Please forgive me this time, for the sake of us being family... Your second uncle will definitely treat you well from now on! Really!"
Despite his heart-wrenching weeping, Wei Wei remained completely unmoved.
His expression was frighteningly calm.
Seeing the officials dragging Master Meng away, he went crazy with anxiety.
"Wei! If you don't let me go today, when Zhixuan comes back, I will make him divorce you! You wait, I will make him divorce you!"
"You jinx who has brought misfortune to your entire family! You vicious woman!"
Yu Qian couldn't listen anymore.
He couldn't help but yell, "That's so noisy! Gag him!"
"Waaaaah..."
It's definitely much quieter with my mouth shut.
Yu Qian turned to look at Wei Wei.
He was right this morning; there's never peace wherever that woman is.
He may appear gentle and mild-mannered, but his actions are extremely cold-blooded.
He was her husband's second uncle, after all, and he hadn't caused her any real harm.
But she remained unmoved by his fear and anger.
Don't they know that based on what just happened, there's no way to convict him? Even if he's locked up, it'll only be for a few days?
Why bother?
He tucked his hands into his sleeves and asked, "Did Madam Meng report this to the police because of this?"
Wei Wei's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips: "It is truly an honor for me that you have come in person, sir."
"Although the woman's report was not about what just happened, it is still closely related to this matter."
“My second uncle, along with some street thugs, forced his way into my house, not only making a mess of the house but also stealing a lot of gold and silver jewelry and stuffing it into his own pockets.”
Having said that, she had already walked up to the obese woman.
The slender fingers seemed so out of place on the dark, thick-skinned woman.
A soft, boneless hand pressed against the woman's collar and pulled her hard before anyone could stop it.
I originally thought I would see some disgusting scene.
Yu Qian's face changed, and he quickly turned his head away.
But he could clearly hear the sound of gold and silver falling to the ground.
When he looked up again, he saw that the fat woman's arms were stuffed full of things.
It was so bright and dazzling that it almost blinded everyone.
"These can all be used as evidence, right?"
She gently stroked one of the luminous pearls.
This was the favorite thing of the concubine that Prefect Liu kept.
It's so smooth and slippery; it looks like it's been touched quite often.
There are also these precious gold hairpins and jade bracelets.
Every single one of them was of the highest quality.
Last time, she only had Leng Pusheng send the bracelet back, and she didn't know how he managed to dispel everyone's suspicions.
These things were left behind.
With Prefect Liu already fallen from power, his mistress has probably already fled.
These items became ownerless, and she could only accept them with a smile.
She looked at Yu Qian and slowly said, "If my second uncle, the mastermind behind this, doesn't serve twenty or thirty years in prison, I'm afraid there are still people abusing their power in the government."
Yu Qian was amused by her remarks.
But I also genuinely admire her.
This person probably noticed something amiss as soon as he returned to the Meng residence, which is why he was able to devise a plan step by step.
Finally, the second master of the Meng family was put back into prison.
He nodded: "You're right. This situation is extremely serious. Since we have both witnesses and physical evidence, let's arrest all of them."
After hearing the order, the officers dragged the bound men and women out the door.
Yu Qian looked at the furnishings of Tingfengxuan, and finally his gaze fell on Leng Pusheng.
His expression was inscrutable as he asked, word by word, "This must be the one who subdued these hooligans. He's quite skilled."
