Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Little Huaban was pulled so hard by the woman that she staggered several steps. She struggled hard, but she was too small to get free.

That woman was very strong.

"Mrs. Wang, do you know her?" the maids who were watching asked curiously.

"Yes! This is the sister of my ex-husband. After her brother passed away, she was given to me to take care of. But I didn't expect this ungrateful little bastard to steal my money and run away! I've been looking for her for so many years!"

Mrs. Wang grabbed Xiao Huaban's collar and said through gritted teeth.

"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! I didn't!" Little Petal struggled hard.

"Let her go!" The maid next to Yun Xi saw her master frowning and quickly scolded her loudly.

"Oh, sister, this girl is a thief, I have to teach her a lesson!" Mrs. Wang nodded and smiled.

"I'm not a thief! I'm not a thief!" Little Huaban's collar was tightly grabbed by someone, and she was so angry that she kept jumping on the spot.

Yun Xi looked at her and thought to herself: This guy has stolen flowers so many times, would he steal money?

"I'm not stealing! Princess, I'm not stealing! I have kept all of your flowers!" The little petals kept struggling and looked at Yun Xi pleadingly.

"Are you her ex-sister-in-law?" Yun Xi asked.

"Yes." Mrs. Wang looked up and saw that it was the princess asking the question. She was so scared that she quickly let go of the small petals in her hand.

I was so busy grabbing the petals that I didn't notice the princess was there.

She licked her smiling face and bowed: "I am sorry for harassing my master!"

"You are her ex-sister-in-law, so when her brother was alive, your family should have lived together, right?"

"Yes, princess, her brother left five years ago. She was only seven years old at that time." The princess's eyes suddenly turned red, and she wiped her tears with her sleeves. "When her brother drove her away, I cried every day and lay in the room for several days. I didn't expect that this little bastard stole all the money in the family and disappeared. I searched for a long time but couldn't find him, so I had to give up. The family was penniless, and in order to have a meal, I could only sell myself as a slave."

Mrs. Wang was a servant they had bought when they went to Shu, and she was considered a hard-working person.

The servants in the mansion naturally believed what Mrs. Wang said.

They all scolded Little Petal: "Your brother is dead, you should live a good life with your sister-in-law. How could you run away with the money? Your sister-in-law has no choice but to sell herself into slavery."

Yun Xi frowned as she listened, feeling that something was wrong.

She looked at Little Petal: "You say it?"

Little Petal looked up in surprise.

The princess believes her?

Her sister-in-law is a good person, and the neighbors all believe what she says. When my eldest brother was around, he would often beat her because my sister-in-law said she was lazy.

Later, my eldest brother died suddenly.

That day, she was lying on her sister-in-law's window and heard her sister-in-law talking to a man in the room, and it seemed that she wanted to sell her.

She was so scared that she ran away immediately.

She was only seven years old at that time, how could she know if there was any money at home? If there was any money, it was hidden by her sister-in-law, she would not know where it was!

When she ran away, she met some neighbors and told them that her sister-in-law wanted to sell her out, but no one believed her! In their minds, her sister-in-law left a very good impression: hardworking, simple, and warm.

Oh, right, home! After her parents passed away, they left behind a house with a small courtyard.

Although she was only seven years old, she knew that the yard was quite nice.

"Princess, please help me!" Little Huaban knelt in front of Yun Xi.

She cried and told the reason why she ran away.

He also mentioned the big yard left by his parents: "If the yard is rented out, it will be worth a lot of money. There is no need for my sister-in-law to sell herself into slavery."

Mrs. Wang was shocked. She didn't expect that this bitch actually overheard it!

She raised her hand to slap her: "Bitch! You lie all day long!"

"How dare you!" The maidservant next to Yun Xi pushed Wang's wife away, "How can you be so presumptuous in front of the princess?"

"Princess, this little bitch is always telling lies, please don't be fooled by her!" Princess Wang knelt on the ground, crying and snotting.

"When I married her brother, she was only a few months old. Her parents-in-law passed away suddenly, and I raised her with all my heart and soul! This heartless little thing, even a cat or a dog would bark at me, but she, not only doesn't know how to be grateful, she even came back and snatched it from me!

I raised her by myself, she is almost like my own daughter, how could I bear to sell her off?"

Yun Xi waited until she had cried enough before asking, "Where is the yard she was talking about?"

Mrs. Wang quickly covered her face and cried, "Her brother was a gambler when he was alive. He borrowed money from others and mortgaged the house! After he died, the gambling house came to take the house. I am a woman, and there is no one to cry out to. How can I dare to go against them? I can only offer my hands! Ah... I am so pitiful! I married a gambler and helped him raise his daughter, but I ended up being a widow! What kind of life is this for me!"

The onlookers hissed as they listened.

"Princess, when the princess's wife first came, she said that her husband lost a lot of money gambling." The servants nearby testified one after another.

"She's lying! My brother never gambles!" Little Huaban was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted loudly.

"She gambled on her own! My brother found out and wanted to beat her up, so she..."

Xiao Huaban suddenly stopped, her eyes gradually turned red, and she walked to Sister Wang and asked blankly, "Sister-in-law, how did my brother die?"

Although her brother would beat her, it was because Wang's wife was picky. Most of the time, her brother was very good to her.

My brother usually does carpentry work for others and earns a decent income. Every time he comes home, he brings snacks for her.

But that day, my brother died suddenly!

My brother was clearly fine when he came home.

My brother was so young, he shouldn’t have died so suddenly!

"Mother Shi, go report to the police!" Yun Xi said in a deep voice.

Although it happened a long time ago, we can still find some clues if we investigate. Just because the two people mentioned different gamblers, there is a problem.

In this case, reporting to the police is the first choice.

What’s more, the case is being investigated in a different place.

"Report to the police? Yes, I'm going to report to the police! This little bitch stole more than ten taels of silver from our family. I must report to the police!" Mrs. Wang shouted excitedly.

This expression doesn't look fake, it really looks like Little Huaban stole the money and ran away.

"Princess, I want to report to the police! I suspect that she killed my brother! She also lost my mother's house in gambling!" Little Huaban pointed at Mrs. Wang and said angrily.

The crowd was in an uproar.

How did this lead to a murder case?

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Wang was so angry that her eyes turned red. "I've never seen an ungrateful person like you! I raised you myself! Do you really want me to die?"

Little Petal's eyes also turned red.

Her feelings towards her sister-in-law are complicated.

When she was a child, her sister-in-law was nice to her, but later, for some reason, her sister-in-law became more and more disgusted with her.

"Butler, report to the police!" Yun Xi said again without hesitation, "Do as Little Petal said, report to the police."
