Chapter 1476: No One Believes

athetic life like before.This Yang Xiao actually said that An Xuetang was possessed, this is a bit too much!Dong Ge'er turned cold, "Is that all you came to see me for""... "Yang Xiao lowered her head...What's more, they were chasing after him while shouting "catch the thief!"

People on the street stopped in their tracks when they heard phrases like "catch the thief," and stared at him with strange looks.

Zhuangzhuang's psychological defense line was almost crumbling. At this moment, he had been surrounded by several shop assistants, and more and more people on the street were gathering to watch the commotion.

A group of people surrounded him, his heart was pounding in his chest at this moment, his whole body trembled slightly, and he barely managed to hold himself up.

"Return the clothes you have in your possession. We're lenient with you because you are young. Today's theft will not be pursued, and we will let you go."

"!!"

Zhu Zhu's heart turned cold. His clothes were brought by him, yet this group of people claimed them as their own with a single word. They really have no shame.

He just watched the onlookers' expressions; they looked at him as if he were a thief.

His trembling grew more pronounced, "I...you're blood-libeling! This garment isn't from your shop at all, you...you dare to steal from me!"

"Boy, I see you won't drink to a toast, so we'll have to punish you. Hand it over, or we'll send you to the authorities."

Hearing that he was being sent to the magistrate, Zhuangzhuang was naturally afraid. But seeing everyone pointing at him and whispering among themselves, as if they were certain he was the thief, made him even more anxious.

Faced with this situation, he was even more mentally broken.

In this situation, no matter how he explains it, these people will definitely not believe him.

After all, the clothes he was wearing now already made everyone think he was a poor person. No one would believe he could take out such magnificent clothes.

They will surely think the clothes he is holding are stolen.

Zhuang Zhuang anxiously looked around, wanting to find Uncle Chen. Right now, the only person from their village who could testify for him was Uncle Chen.

But after looking around, Chen Lao Shu's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Zhuang Zhuang's heart was filled with despair, his eyes welling up with tears. But even as the tears streamed down his face, he refused to give up.

This outfit wasn't stolen by him!

Why would someone be suspected just because of their unkempt appearance

So he cried out to the heavens, "I'm not a thief! This is my clothes!"

As common folk, they wouldn't normally dare to enter the government office. But seeing everyone staring at him like a thief, he didn't know what came over him. He suddenly shouted, "I want to report to the officials, I didn't steal anything."

After he shouted like that, the questioning looks everyone had earlier immediately changed.

In their minds, if the child had truly stolen something, he wouldn't have volunteered to report it.

As it happened, the county magistrate's daughter was among the onlookers that day. At first, she and her maidservant also thought that the child must be the thief.

Although she hadn't gotten a close look at the clothes in the child's arms, from afar she could tell that the fabric was not something the child could have possessed.

So she subconsciously thought the child had stolen someone else's clothes.

But the more I watched, the more I felt that this child was deeply wronged. The fact that she could still say she would report the matter to the authorities showed her determination. She looked thoughtfully at the few shop assistants.

For some reason, she always felt that these shopkeepers were a little off.

After a moment's thought, she lowered her head and whispered a few words into her maidservant's ear. The maidservant hesitated and glanced at her young mistress.

She clearly didn't want her young mistress to meddle, but her mistress's eyes were resolute. She knew she couldn't dissuade her, so she nodded in agreement.ons, a flicker of disgust crossing his eyes. But this person was skilled at hiding their emotions, before Xiaohong could notice the emotion in his eyes, he had already changed as if nothing had happen...
