"His reaction was also expected."
An Ruowan smiled lightly and said, "He has never been proud of my daughter who grew up outside."
"Your father is too unfair. You have suffered so much outside these years. It doesn't matter if they don't love you, they still treat you like this."
Chu Ziyi felt angry for An Ruowan, "Your two brothers can't carry it either!"
An Ruowan smiled and comforted Chu Ziyi, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. We just happened to be out. I will go with you to General Weiyuan's Mansion. The general will have a follow-up examination."
"No, my dad has recovered well and is training at the training ground. You have helped me so much, I must treat you to a meal."
The two of them laughed and got off the carriage. Chu Ziyi took An Ruowan's hand and walked forward, "I'll take you to Dingxiang Tower. The steamed pork there is excellent! I asked the waiter to order two portions early..."
Before she could finish her words, a quarrel suddenly broke out from the crowd in front!
"He stole my money! Everyone, catch him quickly!!"
"You were clearly the one who stole the money, and I chased you here! Why did you rake it back instead?!"
Hearing a familiar voice, An Ruowan subconsciously looked towards the crowd.
Chu Ziyi had already recognized the person standing in the center of the crowd, and frowned slightly, "Shen Qinghai?"
An Ruowan also recognized him, and also saw the man lying on the ground in a mess in front of him, "Let's go over and see what's going on."
Originally Chu Ziyi was very disdainful of this dude, but when An Ruowan said she wanted to come forward and have a look, she couldn't refuse and could only follow him.
The man who fell on the ground was holding a money bag in his hand, his face was covered with gray, and he was howling loudly, "You just want to steal my money. If anyone comes, call the officer quickly. Someone is stealing money here in broad daylight!" !”
Shen Qinghai squeezed the fan in his hand, his fair face flushed with anger at this man's rogueness, "Hey! It's obvious that you stole my mother-in-law's money! Stop being such a rogue here!"
Someone in the crowd seemed to recognize Shen Qinghai and exclaimed, "Isn't this Uncle Shen Guo? How could he steal someone's money bag?"
"Is this Uncle Shen Guo?!"
Then someone started whispering.
"I heard that Uncle Shen Guo hangs around in the alleys of fireworks and willows. He is uneducated and robbed women! Would he be so kind as to help people find their money bags?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I also heard that he often scrapes people's fortunes and does whatever he wants just because he is the younger brother of the queen and a relative of the emperor!"
Although the whispering discussion was not loud, it could really reach Shen Qinghai's ears.
These rumors left Shen Qinghai almost speechless, and the eyes of the people around him changed when they looked at him.
The rogue man also heard the discussion around him. He rolled his eyes and raised his voice immediately, "It turns out to be Uncle Shen, Uncle Guo! Please spare me!"
"The little one has an eighty-year-old mother and a two-year-old baby waiting to be fed. This is already my entire wealth. I beg you... please be merciful!!"
Just at this moment, the man stood up from the ground and knelt down, kowtowing to Shen Qinghai!
"You're so generous, please let me go! I really don't have any money to give you!"
This guy cried so much that the people around him sympathized with him.
"I'm telling you, Uncle Shen Guo is not a good guy! He even wants to rob poor people's money!"
"You don't have to be afraid. With us as witnesses, even if you complain of injustice and go to Kaifeng Mansion, we will also go there to help testify!"
"That's right!! So what if he is a relative of the emperor! The universe is under the feet of the Emperor! How can we allow him to harm the people?!"
Everyone was criticizing each other, and the circle became smaller and smaller. The crowd was so excited that they wanted to completely surround Shen Qinghai!
Shen Qinghai had never seen such a battle before. He took two steps back and wanted to defend himself, but felt that the explanation at this moment was weak.
Just when he felt that it was difficult to escape and that he was about to suffer disaster today, he suddenly heard a clear and sweet female voice from outside the crowd.
"Stop! Where are you running?!"
The people were all focused on Shen Qinghai, but they didn't notice that the man who cried miserably just now quietly left the crowd with his things.
A sword was placed across the man's neck, and he suddenly made a sound, attracting everyone's attention!
The man holding the money bag shivered in fright at the sharp knife on his neck, "You...what do you want to do?!"
Chu Ziyi looked at him coldly, "Why are you running?"
The man straightened his neck and rolled his eyes guiltily, "Who said I ran away! I'm leaving!"
An Ruowan smiled brightly, reached out and took the wallet from his hand, "You can leave, but you have to keep the money."
When the man saw the money bag being taken away, he immediately wanted to grab it!
Chu Ziyi's sword was close to his neck, and her cold voice threatened: "If you want to die, take another step forward!"
"Royal sister-in-law!"
Shen Qinghai saw An Ruowan and immediately ran to her side, "Sister-in-law, why are you here!"
When the man saw Shen Qinghai and An Ruowan getting acquainted, he immediately shouted, "You actually have accomplices?! Is there any justice left?!"
The circle of common people gradually gathered around!
A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate loss, Shen Qinghai said to the two of them: "I got the money bag, let's go first! Don't cause trouble!"
He turned to leave when he heard An Ruowan's voice, "You said this purse is yours, how can you prove that it is your purse?"
When the man heard An Ruowan's question, he immediately became proud, "I know there are ten taels of silver in this purse, as well as two taels of broken silver and six copper plates!"
"How can this be proven?"
An Ruowan raised her eyebrows, "I looked at the money in the purse, and I can tell how much it is. Does this purse belong to me?"
The man didn't expect An Ruowan to say that, and immediately became red-faced and angry, "You are simply arrogant, you just want my wealth and life!!"
An Ruowan held the money bag and looked back at Shen Qinghai, "You said this is the money bag he stole. Where did he steal it from?"
"He stole it from a mother-in-law's sesame cake stall! I happened to be passing by there at the time and saw it with my own eyes!" Shen Qinghai said.
An Ruowan nodded and looked at the man in front of her, "Then this money bag is indeed not yours."
Doubts broke out among the common people.
"No matter how you say it, Uncle Shen Guo is right. He just said a few words and you believed it?"
"They are a family. The royal family and relatives protect each other. What can we ordinary people do?"
"What kind of world is this!"
An Ruowan picked up the money bag in her hand and looked around at the people nearby. "Don't worry, everyone. Smell the money bag first, and then see what's different about the money inside."
After handing the money bag to everyone's hands, seven or eight people gathered around, smelled it, looked at it carefully, and everyone looked at An Ruowan with doubts.
"This is no different from ordinary silver."
