My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 171 The evidence is conclusive
“My fourth sister has a father, a mother, and a grandmother. What kind of scoundrel is Zhuang Jin? What kind of master did he serve my fourth sister? And he even sold her to you?” Xin Nian sneered.

"Water is scarce these days, but you're not short of pee, are you? How about we have a horse give you a little pee?"

"Look at your dog-headed, pig-faced, wretched appearance! How are you worthy of my Xin family's daughter?"

Young Master Wang was so angry that he trembled all over and got up, wanting to fight Xin Nian to the death.

The latter knocked the man to the ground with a single punch.

"Still not convinced? You dare to act like a lewd person and have no face to admit it, huh?" Xin Nian kicked him, making the pig-headed man look even more like a pig's head, his face completely obscured.

Xin Nian took out a cloak from her spatial storage and wrapped it around Xin Mengxue, who was shivering all over.

Xin Mengxue was like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a piece of driftwood, clinging to it tightly and refusing to let go.

Xin Nian had no choice but to say a few words of comfort before pulling the girl off her.

Xin Mengxue remained nervous, clinging to her arm and refusing to let go.

Meanwhile, the governor arrived very quickly.

The main reason was that the chief clerk said his house had been robbed and vandalized. Xie Hui, unaware of the details, quickly brought over several capable guards.

I want to see who is so bold as to openly attack the Prefect's residence in broad daylight.

Prefect Lu Xiangying had come with the governor to watch the spectacle.

Xie Hui never expected that the person the chief clerk called a thief was actually his own niece, which made things rather awkward...

The group arrived at the back gate and saw Young Master Wang and his servant lying next to a carriage, their bodies covered in footprints, groaning and unable to get up.

Zhuang Yafen followed behind the adults and spotted her own daughter wrapped in a cloak. She rushed forward and called out "Mengxue" with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy.

"Mother!" Xin Mengxue rushed over and hugged Zhuang Yafen, bursting into tears.

Zhuang Yafen was sweating profusely with anxiety. "Mengxue, my Mengxue, are you alright? Quickly, let your mother see where you're hurt? What happened to your face?"

The two pinch marks on Xin Mengxue's face were very obvious, and Zhuang Yafen was so anxious and angry that she almost fainted on the spot.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xin Mengxue hurriedly shook her head, sobbing as she tried to comfort her mother. "My face was pinched by my maternal grandmother's personal nanny, who also gave me a bowl of sleeping pills."

"But I secretly took the 'wake-up pill' that my sixth sister gave me, and I remained sober throughout."

"Later, when Young Master Wang came in and saw that I was awake, he behaved himself. He probably wanted to persuade me to go with him and give up my resistance."

"But the old woman came again soon after to tell me that there was no time left. She told me to take me away quickly, so they forcibly stuffed me into a sack and tried to put me on the carriage..." Xin Mengxue trembled and sobbed as she spoke.

"Fortunately, my sixth sister arrived in time, otherwise I fear I would never see my mother again in this life."

Overwhelmed with grief, Zhuang Yafen hugged her daughter and wept bitterly.

He turned his head and glared fiercely at the old nanny beside Madam Zhuang.

She released Xin Mengxue and pounced on the old woman like a madwoman, tearing at her, "You wretched slave, you actually tried to harm my daughter! I'll beat you to death, you old scoundrel! Tell me, who told you to do this? Who was it?"

"Who else could it be? Besides your mother giving the order, what servant would dare to sell your girl?" Xin Nian said coolly.

Zhuang Yafen knew the truth in her heart, but she just didn't want to admit that her mother could be so vicious. She twisted her neck to look at Madam Zhuang, her eyes bloodshot, and roared in despair, grief, and anger, "Mother, I can accept that you've always favored my two younger brothers and neglected me. What can I do? I'm just a girl."

"But now you're reaching for my daughter? Why? She's my only daughter, and you want to sell her to some lowly, despicable person?"

Madam Zhuang was startled by her daughter's bloodshot eyes. Feeling guilty, she hid behind Chief Steward Zhuang and stubbornly said, "I didn't give such an order. It was all the servants' fault for making things up. How could I possibly let someone sell my own granddaughter?"

"You, the wife of the Chief Secretary, can't even manage your servants. What kind of mistress are you?" Xin Nian showed no respect whatsoever, tearing the old woman's dignity to shreds and crushing her on the ground.

"Would I have dared to do this without your permission?"

"Your Excellency the Prefect," Xin Nian bowed to Xie Hui and said in a serious tone, "The Zhuang family is suspected of trafficking my fourth daughter. My grandmother is still alive. It's a bit too much for her maternal grandparents to do this. I hope Your Excellency will do justice for my family."

Xie Hui, with a sullen face, glanced at Chief Secretary Zhuang.

The latter, sweating profusely, hurriedly retorted, "My lord, this woman is talking nonsense and making things up out of thin air. How could my Chief Secretary's Mansion sell its own granddaughter?"

"The person is lying on the ground, Chief Secretary, are you blind? That sales contract is in that fat pig's arms, Your Excellency, you can send someone to search." Xin Nian's face was full of disdain. "Dare to do it but not admit it? What kind of Chief Secretary are you? You have no sense of responsibility at all. Can't you even do your job properly?"

Xie Hui waved his hand, ordering his men to tie up the fat man and his servant. The group then moved to the living room to discuss the matter further.

To everyone's surprise, the living room was desolate and dilapidated.

From the doors to the windows, almost nothing was undamaged...

Putting that aside, the entire living room was inexplicably empty, so poor that even a passing rat wouldn't bother to look at it.

The chief clerk, looking as if he was about to faint, repeatedly bowed to Governor Xie and wailed, "My lord, you must do me justice!"

“This woman barged into my residence without cause, vandalized it, and took all my belongings away.”

Xin Nian interrupted him expressionlessly, "What do you mean by trespassing? Didn't you invite me in?"

The Chief Secretary's wife screamed in a piercing voice, "Who invited you in?"

"You guys!" Xin Nian said with a nonchalant smile, as if to say, "Didn't we agree that you'd give me the person within ten breaths?"

"Since you can't hand over the person, I have no choice but to come in and search myself. This place is so big, it gets unbearably hot as soon as you move around. Do you think I enjoy searching here?"

"If my fourth sister hadn't been kidnapped by you, and I hadn't been so desperate to save her, would I have done this? The reason for this is entirely your own fault!"

Madam Zhuang was so angry that she sat down on the ground and started to whine and cry like a country woman, "Your Excellency, you must do justice for our Zhuang family!"

Whether out of anger or fear, Chief Clerk Zhuang's lips trembled repeatedly. "My lord, what methods did this woman use? As you can see, all the tables, chairs, teacups, and paintings in my living room have vanished without a trace."

Xie Hui looked around suspiciously. "Are you sure that the little girl moved all the items in the house by herself?"

Zhuang Changshi was momentarily speechless.

He wasn't sure, and he certainly hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but how could everything in his room have disappeared? If it wasn't this monster girl, who else could it be?

"I……"

"Don't say 'you' or 'I'm not Zhuang Changshi." Prefect Lu Xiangying waved his hand. "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits. Anyone who sees this scene knows what's going on. How could one person possibly move the entire hall?"
