At night, my elder brother rushed into my courtyard without prior notice, accompanied by the smug Su Jinshu.

Before I could say anything, he angrily accused me, "Su Yane, you know I love that green peony the most, why did you destroy it!"

I set down the scroll in my hand, "Did Su Jinshu tell you that?"

Nothing new, nine out of ten time-traveling women only know how to sow discord like this, and my poor elder brother, as a supporting male character in the book, is led around by the nose by these time-traveling women time and time again, still not growing a brain. If it weren't for me, he would have died countless times already.

With a brain like his, he managed to pass the imperial examination, it just shows how weak the candidates are this year!

"Brother, sister didn't do it on purpose, don't be angry. I've already taken the roots back, I'll return them to you after I replant them."

"Jinshu, don't plead for her. She's always been like this since childhood, always maliciously speculating about others! Very scheming!"

My personal maid Xiuer intended to speak up for me, but I held her hand to calm her down, "Brother, now that you're an official, haven't the teachings of the sages taught you 'Deeds should be based on evidence, words should not be based on groundless accusations?'"

I almost pointed at my brother's nose and said he was blind.

"Su Yane! Would Jinshu, such an upright girl, slander you?"

From my brother's attitude towards me, it's clear that our relationship isn't harmonious. Because since childhood, I've driven away no less than ten girls who pursued him. He thinks I lack tolerance, but what he doesn't know is that those women were all time-traveling women trying to conquer him.

Once they succeed, my brother would disappear from this world, becoming a forgotten past. Although he's old-fashioned and foolish, he's my mother's beloved child, I can't stand by and watch him die.

"Fine, in that case, I invite my brother to step into the courtyard."

My brother eyed me warily, afraid of what I might do.

But what could I do? I just wanted to open his eyes.

The courtyard was filled with maids and servants. I sat on the veranda, casually pointing at one person, "You, each of you, one by one, tell me everything you saw this afternoon."

Given the order, the servants dared not disobey, and dozens of them chattered on about the incident repeatedly.

After a while, my brother emerged from the crowd with a dark expression. Su Jinshu was still provoking, "Sister is their mistress, of course they'll say whatever you tell them to say."

At these words, my brother's eyes towards me were full of malice.

Well, I had expected this.

"If you don't believe what the servants say, then you should believe what the clan leader's wife said, right?"

Coincidentally, when the servants came to report, the clan leader's wife happened to be visiting the mansion looking for my mother for a chat. Since my mother wasn't there, I helped with the reception. It just so happened that the immature Su Jinshu caused trouble, and she followed along. The clan leader's wife was present the whole time and witnessed everything.

I called the clan leader's wife over, and the account she gave matched what the servants said, even more sharply worded: "Heir, this Su Jinshu is nothing but trouble, she must go!"

Being deceived doesn't feel good, especially for someone as proud as my brother.

He wanted to apologize to me, but I didn't need it, "I truly feel sorry for the people of Jingguo, with officials like you who turn a blind eye, there will be no justice in the future.

"And you!" I stood in front of Su Jinshu, "Put away your shameful thoughts, I just don't want to argue with you, not that I can't beat you!"
