Chapter 1477: Do You Dare?

Ning'er suddenly glared at Fu'er with a sharpness in her eyes. "Whose child is in your belly""Hello, sir.""How to prove it"Fu'er let out a light chuckle, "Ning'er, you still don't believe me."“The mod...She glanced around at the people, motioning to the guard beside her to look after their young lady. Then she walked forward.

Zhuangzhuang saw that no one present could help him, everyone was watching coldly. At this moment, he was crying in fear. He caught a glimpse of a very beautiful woman walking out from the crowd, and he was like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Please, please help me report this! I...I really didn't steal anything. This clothes is mine."

The woman didn't respond to Zhuangzhuang's words. To be honest, she also thought this kid was a thief. Otherwise, he wouldn't dress like that, and the shop assistant wouldn't slander him for no reason.

After all, he doesn't look like someone who would have silver. Why would a few shop boys wrongly accuse him

No money, no money.

But she couldn't help but come out. This was the young mistress's orders, and no matter if that nasty little boy was a thief or not, she had to follow the young mistress's instructions first.

She now cast a cold glance at Zhuang Zhuang, then turned to the shop assistants, cleared her throat, and said, “You say this…this boy is a thief, so tell me, what did he steal”

Those few shopkeepers were also worldly people. Seeing the woman's attire, they knew she must be a maid.

They were merely maidservants, nothing to be afraid of. They thought she was just meddling because she had nothing better to do, so after looking at each other, one of them coldly snorted:

"This is our business, and we'll handle it ourselves. I advise you to mind your own affairs."

This maid was originally inclined to support them, but when this person said these words, she immediately became angry.

She let out a cold laugh and took out the plaque that represented them as servants of the county magistrate's family. "I am a maidservant of the county magistrate's family. This boy has already said he will report this to the authorities. If you don't make things clear, I will take him to the yamen and see who is lying today."

At this moment, someone in the crowd recognized that the sign in the maidservant's hand truly represented the servant of the county magistrate's household. They said, "I've seen this girl before, she is indeed the personal maidservant of the county magistrate's daughter."

Once their identities were confirmed like that, the shop assistants clearly panicked. The one who had spoken first quickly apologized:

"Miss, please do not be angry. The young one did not recognize you in time just now, it is my fault. I apologize to you, miss."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhuangzhuang who had stopped crying and continued, “Miss, don’t be deceived by this boy. He stole our shop's clothes. We took pity on him because he was young and didn’t want to send him to the authorities. We only need him to return the stolen clothes.”

"I didn't steal it, this garment isn't yours at all!"

After the shop assistant finished speaking, Zhuangzhuang roared at him. After roaring, he hurriedly looked at the maidservant, “Miss, you…you don’t believe him, this clothes is really mine, I really didn’t steal it.”

Perhaps the address "Miss" had pleased the maid. She looked at the clothes in his strong arms, "Do you have any evidence to prove that these clothes are yours"

“......”

This question immediately stumped Zhuangzhuang. Where could he prove that this garment was his

There was no name on the clothing.

Seeing Zhuang Zhuang's embarrassed expression, the maid of the county magistrate frowned. She had just started to believe this boy, but now he looked like this. Could it be that he was really a thief

At the thought of this possibility, her face instantly fell. She was about to scold him when, as if remembering something, Zhuangzhuang's eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed excitedly:

"I have evidence... I have evidence that this garment is mine."

At his words, everyone looked at him in surprise. Even the maidservant from the county magistrate's family raised an eyebrow and her face recovered some color. "Then you tell me, what evidence do you have"

Seeing that someone was willing to stand up for him, Zhuang Zhuang felt a little more courageous. He looked at the shop assistants, “Your shop doesn't even have clothes made of this kind of material. If you don't believe me, ask this young lady to take a look.”

One of the shop assistants scoffed, "You're lying through your teeth. The clothes in your hand were brought back from the capital by someone our master entrusted. There's only one set in this entire shop. If you let someone check it, they won't find another."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the onlookers and shouted, “We don’t want to say much more. Just take a good look at what this boy is wearing. Where could a poor boy like him have gotten such clothes Do you really think he could afford such fine material in his situation”

"You...you..."

Seeing the onlookers nodding in agreement with the shopkeeper's words, Zhuangzhuang felt extremely anxious, afraid that they would convict him right then and there.

However, seeing that the woman beside him hadn't expressed any suspicion directly, he hurriedly looked at her and eagerly explained:

"Miss, it's them who are lying. I couldn't afford to buy this garment, but I found it. I wanted to sell it to their shop, but the shopkeeper is dishonest. He sees that I am young and thinks I am easy to take advantage of, so he wants to buy it for only ten coins."

“But I didn't agree, and they wanted to use force, wanting to snatch the clothes from my hands. I could only run away. They even accused me of stealing from their shop, but I swear to heaven that if a single word I said is false, may I be struck by lightning and meet a terrible end.”

These people are superstitious and tend to avoid swearing oaths. Seeing this boy swear like that, they actually started to believe him a little bit.

"Especially after Zhuang Zhuang finished his oath, he glared at the shop assistants, “I dare swear, do you dare You say this clothing is from your shop, if you have the guts, swear an oath like me, come on!”

Something like an oath shouldn't be taken lightly, especially since the three shop assistants all knew very well that this outfit was brought by the mischievous boy.

Although they didn't know where the clothes came from, they were sure they weren't from their own shop.

Therefore, they will not and dare not make this vow.dn't know why she couldn't open her eyes now, and she felt her whole body tense. She wanted to move, but she couldn't muster any strength.It's like...you can't control your own body.This feeling sent...
