After a brief, dead silence, the crowd erupted.
"This maid's story is so detailed. Could it actually be true?"
"I think it's true! If she wasn't confident, why would she have reported it to the authorities herself?"
"That Ye Shixian must have really pushed her to the brink... Otherwise, why would this maid risk her own life just to drag her down too?"
"I really misjudged her! The so-called number one beauty of the Capital City is actually a venomous snake!"
Ye Shixian opened her mouth, but not a single word came out.
Zhao Chengyin immediately demanded, "Where are the clothes now!?"
Shaoyao kowtowed. "Your Honor, after she changed out of that outfit, I secretly put it away. I brought it with me when I fled. It's in my bundle."
Zhao Chengyin knew about this. The day Zhang Qian received her report, he had confiscated all her belongings.
Zhao Chengyin commanded at once, "Go and bring her belongings!"
"Yes, sir!"
