“Bullshit!” Doctor Zhang was furious. “Doesn’t your young master have long legs? Why can’t he just run away?”

When Butler Yan heard his young master being scolded, he also said angrily, “My young master’s limbs are fine!”

“Since your young master’s limbs are fine and he can run and walk, he could have walked away on his own. What does it have to do with my girl? ” Doctor Zhang’s words were a little rough.

However, when dealing with rude people, he would also use the same rudeness to fight back.

“how is it none of this wretched girl’s business? ” steward Yan tried to defend himself. “my young master disappeared after she gave the word that she would take my young master’s life.

“Now that my family’s young master is missing, of course, it’s this wretched girl’s fault.”

In any case, he would just put himself on the victim’s side and delay for a time until those people came.

Lin yuelan looked at the overbearing Butler and the group of servants behind him and sneered, ” Hmph, I think it’s your dereliction of duty. You lost your young master, and now you’re pushing the blame on me, right? ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Butler Yan’s guilty gaze and continued, “Why don’t you go to other places to look for your young master, such as the river, the mountains, and so on? Instead, you came directly to my house to ask for him. It looks like you are trying to frame me for your negligence and mistakes so that you can absolve yourself of all responsibility!”

“You’re talking nonsense!” One of the manservants couldn’t take it anymore and immediately retorted, ” our Butler said that the young master disappeared because he was kidnapped by you!”

When Lin yuelan heard this, she struck while the iron was hot and asked with a smile, ” Oh, so your Butler told you. But, did your Butler see me kidnap your young master with his own eyes?”

She immediately asked a sharp question, ” if Butler Yan really saw me kidnapping the young master of the Yan family, then may I ask when, where, and how do I kidnap your young master? Why didn’t steward Yan stop me at that time? Or is it because he’s afraid of death, so he doesn’t dare to come forward to stop me?”

A servant who was afraid of death and disregarded his master’s safety could be punished or beaten to death by the master at will!

As soon as Lin yuelan spoke, the arrogant steward Yan’s face turned pale. Then, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted at Lin yuelan, “You wretched girl, shut up!” He could not answer any of those questions.

If he couldn’t answer, it meant that he had wronged Lin yuelan. If he answered, the disappearance of the young master would prove that he was a servant who had failed at his job.

Hence, no matter what he did, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

Therefore, while he was arguing with Lin yuelan, he was very anxious. He thought to himself, why aren’t the officials from the county office here yet? If this dragged on, there would probably be more loopholes, which would really be disadvantageous to them.

Lin yuelan noticed that steward Yan’s eyes kept darting out, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes. She asked coldly, ” steward Yan, who are you waiting for? ”

Butler Yan immediately panicked. He immediately pretended to be an arrogant man and said, ” Hmph, my young master is missing.

“Of course, we have to report it to the government!”

“I’m afraid you’re not asking the authorities to find him but to directly arrest Miss Yue ‘Er, right? ” A sneer appeared on Guo Bing’s handsome face as he continued, ” it seems that you came here directly because you were well prepared!”

“Hmph!” Steward Yan has nothing to say, so he can only snort to boost his momentum.

Guo Bing saw his arrogant attitude and immediately wanted to teach him a lesson in anger.

Just as he was about to make a move, a young man’s loud and deep voice came from outside, “Is this Lin yuelan’s house? ”

Hearing the sound, everyone turned to look.

It was a few bailiffs in official uniforms.

Some of the more timid people immediately took a few steps back or shrank to the side, directly giving way.

The people did not fight with the officials.

These villagers had spent their entire lives working in the mud. They were obviously in awe and afraid of the officials. It was somewhat like an instinctive reaction.

Seeing that the bailiffs had really come, steward Yan eagerly went up to them with a face full of smiles. He looked particularly fawning and polite. He cupped his hands and said to the two bailiffs, “Are you two looking for Lin yuelan? ”

Without waiting for the two bailiffs to reply, he pointed at Lin yuelan and said loudly, “It’s her, it’s her. She’s Lin yuelan. Officers, please take her away.”

A tall bailiff was puzzled when he heard steward Yan’s words. “Why do we want to capture her?”

As soon as he said this, steward Yan, the group of manservants, and the onlookers who really thought they were here to capture Lin Yuelan were all stunned.

Steward Yan thought that the two bailiffs had made a mistake, so he reminded them again, “My Lords, I am the steward of the Yan family. Yan Lin is my master. Now that our master’s most precious son is missing, all the evidence points to Lin yuelan. We have already reported this to the authorities, right? ”

However, he didn’t know if these two officers were pretending to be stupid or if they were really stupid.

The tall bailiff immediately shouted doubtfully, “What Yan Lin from the Yan family? We don’t know anything about him.”

The smile on steward Yan’s face froze. Then, he asked, “Aren’t you here to catch Lin yuelan? ”

When the two bailiffs heard this, they immediately rebuked him with a serious expression, “Who the hell are you? Who told you that we’re here to capture Lin yuelan?”

Then, without waiting for the crowd’s reaction, the two of them went straight to Lin yuelan and said very respectfully, ” Miss Lin, our family’s Lord would like to invite you to his house!”

The crowd was dumbfounded!
