"My Lord! I’ll confess everything! Please, spare my life! Spare me, my Lord, I’m still young, I don’t want to go to jail! It was Manager Wang who made me frame them. He told me to ruin the reputation of their tavern, and he said—he said that they were just a bunch of women who couldn't stir up any trouble, so he sent me!"
Ruan Jiaojiao had guessed as much. If she recalled correctly, her business partner had mentioned that a family surnamed Wang had long monopolized the liquor trade in the Capital. Now that she and her companions were stealing their business, it was only natural that the Wangs had been harboring resentment for some time.
She just hadn't expected the man surnamed Wang to come up with such a scheme to frame them. To go to such great lengths just because he was incompetent and wanted to shut down their tavern?
