Just as Zhou Fusheng was about to strangle the old woman to death, several onlookers finally felt a pang of pity and rushed forward to subdue him.
Seeing this, Yang Shuhuan, though unwilling, tried to comfort herself.
If this trick fails, there's still the crime of theft. As long as Ning Yin's crime of stealing the imperial gift is proven, she will also have a hard time escaping death.
Thinking this, she calmly observed the chaos before her.
Zhou Fusheng is a useless pawn; it's fine to discard him.
Fortunately, I was quick-witted and had a backup plan.
After a moment of internal thought, Yang Shuhuan went up and gave Zhou Fusheng a wink.
Zhou Fusheng understood Yang Shuhuan's intention and immediately gave up resisting and retreated to the back.
Yang Shuhuan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and glanced at the old woman on the ground with disgust.
“Since Sister Ningyin has saved the person, the crime of murder can naturally be offset. However, Aunt has recently lost a lot of gold and silver jewelry, the most valuable of which is the phoenix crown bestowed by the emperor.”
"Originally, I didn't believe that my sister was the thief who stole the jewelry, but two maids in the manor pointed the finger at you, so I had no choice but to bring them here to confront my sister. After all, my aunt was personally appointed by the Emperor, and the significance of this phoenix crown is extraordinary."
After Yang Shuhuan finished speaking, she looked at Ning Yin with a hint of sympathy.
Two days ago, she redeemed several pieces of jewelry that Yang Shujing had pawned.
However, they couldn't find the phoenix crown, but these few items were enough to convict them.
While Ning Yin was rescuing people, Yang Shuhuan secretly ordered someone to break into Ning Yin's room and hide the jewelry in the drawer of Ning Yin's dressing table.
With all the witnesses and evidence now presented, even if Ning Yin had a hundred mouths, it would be difficult for her to clear her name.
Ning Yin looked up and met Yang Shuhuan's strange eyes, and sneered.
A wave of sarcasm washed over him; this person had truly gone to great lengths.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hint of frost reflected in her eyes. If that was the case, she would no longer tolerate it.
She thought she was a pushover, just waiting for her to frame her.
Actually, not long after the person Yang Shuhuan arranged put down the jewelry, Su Xin quietly went in and moved the jewelry to a different place.
Ning Yin raised an eyebrow and looked at Yang Shuhuan calmly and composedly: "If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. You really went to great lengths to make me leave Shen Yun."
Yang Shuhuan was taken aback by Ning Yin's words, and her face instantly darkened, but she still tried her best to pretend to be understanding.
"Sister, don't be anxious. Let's hear what the servants have to say first."
Yang Shuhuan waved her hand, and two guards escorted Qin Mama and Zisu into the room.
In the past few days, the two cooperated with Yang Shuhuan to record their testimonies, thus avoiding punishment, but they are still locked in the dark woodshed.
The once radiant Qin Mama now resembled a sickly old woman, while Zisu's beautiful face had also become much thinner.
The two knelt at Yang Shuhuan's feet as soon as they entered the room, their eyes filled with fear and guilt.
After all, framing the former mistress is indeed against one's conscience.
But if she didn't comply, the old lady, Yang Shuhuan, and even Shen Jia wouldn't let her off the hook.
Rather than being sold off, it's better to throw the blame on Ning Yin.
She's a divorced woman with no background or connections. What's wrong with bullying her a little?
"Tell me, did your sister steal it?"
Yang Shuhuan cleared her throat and casually looked down at the two of them.
Qin Mama trembled and hurriedly said, "Miss Yang, this servant and Zisu did see Madam appear when we passed by the pawnshop before. We didn't pay attention at the time, but we ran into her several times in a row. At that time, Madam and the General had already divorced."
Yang Shuhuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned her gaze to Ning Yin.
"Fine, since that's the case, what else is there for me to say? Why don't you search my room..."
She was in a hurry to convict Ning Yin, and without waiting for Ning Yin's reply, she ordered several guards to rush into the room and search it.
Su Xin tried to stop them but couldn't, and they ransacked the entire clinic.
Everywhere you look, you can see the powder and dregs of medicine they've dug up.
Even the furniture that Xiao Xuan gave to Ning Yin was slashed by that group of people with long knives.
These guards received orders from Shen Yun to demolish Ning Yin's clinic and bring her back to the General's Mansion.
Without any hesitation, they simply demolished it to the bitter end.
In particular, Zhou Fusheng went straight to Ning Yin's dressing table.
"Yang Shuhuan, you will regret what you did today!"
Ning Yin knew she couldn't stop this group, so she just coldly scrutinized Yang Shuhuan's smug face.
"Sister, are you angry? Please don't blame your younger sister. I'm only doing this for Aunt and Brother Yun. Besides, it was Brother Yun's idea to come here today. I wouldn't dare to make this decision myself."
As Yang Shuhuan spoke, she couldn't help but laugh.
Ning Yin hadn't expected Shen Yun to agree to let her bring people to vandalize her clinic.
But Shen Yun's letter clearly stated that he wanted to demolish Ning Yin's clinic and make her suffer.
It seems that Shen Yun no longer cares about Ning Yin at all.
Thinking of all this, Yang Shuhuan's lips curled up slightly as she strolled closer to Ning Yin.
"Sister, please don't blame Brother Yun. He only did it because of our past relationship and didn't want you to keep making the same mistake."
No sooner had Yang Shuhuan finished speaking than a loud slap was heard, and her face was suddenly turned to the side.
She covered her face with her hands, feeling a burning sensation on her cheeks.
Ning Yin unexpectedly raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
Yang Shuhuan's head was buzzing, and she couldn't come to her senses for a long time. She just stared with disbelief in her eyes.
