"I... I didn't harm Madam Lin Wang, I just scolded her a few times!" A woman in her forties panicked when being interrogated by Shiyi and his team.
The woman's last name was Li, her husband's was An. Her husband had been beaten to death over gambling debts, and now she was a widow. Her son had been away for several years without returning home.
Currently living alone in Lotus Alley, the humble furnishings in her home showed she was not well-off. She went out to do odd jobs to make ends meet, barely affording her daily rice and salt, without any extra savings.
She had offended many people when she was young, and now no one was willing to help her. Instead, she would get into daily arguments with others.
Just before Shiyi's arrival, Lady Li An had been in a quarrel with someone else.
While questioning, Shiyi said, "Someone mentioned that you pulled off Madam Lin Wang's clothes."
