Chapter 158 Get Out
Shen Wei felt a little depressed.
Such a shameless thing was actually done.
The reason why she didn't dare to confront him was that she was worried that Xie Yuchuan would lose all his dignity and use his power to force her to submit.
The laws in ancient times were extremely strict, and if she caused a terrible scene in the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Yuchuan would only need to say that a priceless treasure had been lost from the Mansion to have the government issue a warrant for her arrest.
Officials protect each other, and without a strong backer, she has no way to protect herself.
She had originally thought of relying on the help of her sisters to get out of the house, and then leaving the capital overnight to avoid the spotlight for a while. Maybe after a while, Xie Yuchuan would find a new love and forget about her.
But the results are obviously unsatisfactory and always develop in the worst direction.
After hearing what Xie Yuchuan said, Xiaoying subconsciously glanced at Shen Wei. After receiving Shen Wei's signal, she immediately took a step forward and sneered:
"The Marquis is truly the Marquis. He is indeed very majestic."
"I know that the people should not fight against the officials. How can we ordinary people afford to offend you? But there is a saying that is true: God is watching what you do."
"Do you really think the government will arrest all of us?"
"It's true that you have connections everywhere, but if more than a hundred people were arrested, this matter would not be a small matter in the capital. Isn't there any other dignitaries in the capital who would ask about it?"
"Let me explain it more clearly. I, a country girl, don't believe that in such a big city like the capital, there are no political enemies who would report you."
Xie Yuchuan originally thought that these country girls knew nothing and would be frightened by his threatening words, but he did not expect Xiaoying to be able to tell the key.
It would be fine if we just arrested a few people.
However, due to its good reputation and high tuition, the martial arts school has attracted hundreds of people who sign up, all of whom want to learn kung fu well and be able to enter a wealthy family as female bodyguards.
If he makes such a big deal out of this, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep it secret.
Naturally, the Marquis' Mansion also has many political enemies who keep an eye on it every day.
Xie Yuchuan laughed in anger, and his gaze shifted from Shen Wei to Xiaoying. After careful investigation, his gaze shifted back to Shen Wei.
It was unclear whether his confident look was genuine or just an act. In response to Xiaoying's counterattack, he just said calmly:
"Are you threatening me?"
"You lowly people broke into the mansion and almost shot and injured my guard! I am magnanimous and will not pursue the others. I will only arrest the person who started the trouble."
"I want to see if you can still turn the tables!"
"Someone, take this pariah down!"
Xie Yuchuan saw at a glance that Xiaoying was the leader of this group of people, and was also a person who blindly supported Shen Wei. So as long as this leader was caught, the others would naturally scatter.
Of course—
Just when he thought everything was going as he imagined, something unexpected happened.
Qin Shuyu brought old lady Hou over. Old lady Hou always had a bad face towards Shen Wei. At this moment, her face was even uglier. She looked at Shen Wei with an unfriendly and cold look.
Seeing that the main courtyard was surrounded by people, his own son was determined to keep Shen Wei regardless of his dignity.
Old Madam Hou was so angry that she closed her eyes and ordered, "Stop it, let her go! Get her out of here!"
"Since bringing this woman back to the mansion, there has not been a peaceful day in this mansion. Could it be that today it is this woman who is responsible for this incident? Do you want to make it known to the whole city?"
Xie Yuchuan's face changed and he immediately refused: "Mother! You can't let her go. Now that she has entered the Marquis' Mansion, she is my woman, Xie Yuchuan's woman for life!"
"No one can take her away!"
