Chapter 459: Extracting Evidence
At this time, Mrs. Ji said unhurriedly: "Princess, since you said that this Zi Yujue is yours, and Mrs. Liang said that it was hers, you have your own opinions, as the master, of course I can't listen to one side." Princess, you said that this jade pendant is yours, what evidence do you have? Mrs. Liang, you said that this jade pendant is yours, what evidence do you have?"
The fifth princess waved her hand, "Mrs. Ji, the matter has come to this point, and the palace will also save some face for Mrs. Liang, so let's expose it." ”
Where is this to save face for Qin Shuying, this is to determine again and again that Qin Shuying is a thief.
Mrs. Ji didn't panic, and asked Qin Shuying again: "Mrs. Liang, what do you think?"
Qin Shuying looked at the fifth princess and suddenly smiled, "Since I said that this thing is mine, of course I have evidence to prove that it is my thing." The deceased mother left behind several sets of purple jade accessories, as well as a number of scattered small accessories, including three seven-leaf purple jade. I gave one to one of my maids, wisteria, green leaves, and red silk, and the wisteria that came in with me today. Just now, Wisteria accidentally dropped this purple jade on the ground, so I put it in my sleeve. ”
Suddenly, everyone talked about it, and no one believed it at all.
Purple jade is such a rare jade, Qin Shuying actually boasted about Haikou, saying that she had a lot, and she also rewarded the maid, and one reward was three, and this bragging did not make a draft.
And how could there be such a coincidental thing, such a precious purple jade jue, a little maid accidentally fell to the ground, and it happened to be picked up by Qin Shuying so coincidentally.
Of course, Lu Ruyang immediately sneered: "A purple jade jue, to say the least, costs a thousand taels of silver, Mrs. Liang actually easily rewarded your maid, it is really arrogant!
At this time, everyone looked at Qin Shuying's head, and sure enough, there were only two pieces of jewelry, although they were delicate but very simple, not like particularly expensive things.
Qin Shuying raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't believe it, it's very simple, the fifth princess sent someone to the Liang family and called my other two maids." ”
Lu Ruyang sneered, "Mrs. Liang, I didn't expect you to delay time in addition to quibbling. ”
Qin Shuying ignored her cynicism and said to Mrs. Ji: "Madam, please borrow your family's servants and go to the Liang family to call my two maids, and ask them to bring the Seven Leaf Purple Jade Jue." ”
Before Mrs. Ji could answer, Lu Ruyang said again: "You are cunning, how much time can it take to carve a piece of this secretly?"
Although Lu Ruyang said this too reluctantly, many people believed it. Of course, carving a piece of jade is not so fast, but once a person is suspicious, there will always be various reasons to find an excuse for doubt.
Qin Shuying said to the fifth princess again: "Princess, please also send two people to follow Mrs. Ji's servants." ”
The fifth princess had been observing Qin Shuying's facial expression very carefully, and did not let go of any of her subtle movements, at this time, she smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you have said so, this palace believes in you, why do you need to work hard to mobilize the people? Ruyang, don't you apologize to Mrs. Liang quickly, it's because of your bad eyes that you made such an oolong, so that the palace has no face to see Mrs. Liang, you are really guilty of adding to the crime, and you will be punished for two months when you go back. ”
said kindly and kindly, with a bit of joking, it is really virtuous and generous, kind and generous.
Qin Shuying also smiled with a good temperament and said: "The princess understands the righteousness, and the courtiers have thanked the princess. However, there was no way to fail to do what the courtiers said. Since the princess did not go, the courtiers had to ask everyone present to testify. It took half an hour to come and go, and the courtiers must let the two maids bring the things over, and please witness them one by one. Wisteria!"
Wisteria heard her call and hurriedly ran over, "Madam." ”
"Since the princess's people are not going, you can accompany the people of the Ji family to run, and let the red silk and green leaves bring all the jewelry I gave them!"
"Yes. ”
Mrs. Ji said: "Princess, since Mrs. Liang has a way to prove her innocence, then the courtiers should let people run along." Come on, go and ask two people to follow this girl from the Liang family to the Liang family together. ”
"Yes. ”
The fifth princess's face was still smiling, but it slowly became difficult to look at, "Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Liang, this palace has already said that this is a misunderstanding, why do you have to make such a big fanfare?
Qin Shuying replied with a smile: "Princess, it's not that the courtiers don't listen to the princess, but that this matter is a matter of good reputation, and of course the courtiers have to explain things clearly, so as to save people from misunderstanding the courtiers." The princess is virtuous, and must know this truth. In addition to what the courtiers just said, the courtiers also have evidence to prove that the jade Jue in Mrs. Lu's hands is the courtier's, not the princess's. ”
The nails of the fifth princess hiding in her sleeves had already cut her palms so painfully that she almost had no intuition, this Qin Shuying was really difficult!
Lu Ruyang's previous firm confidence was also a little shaken at this time, but she had to grit her teeth and say, "Mrs. Liang, what evidence do you have?"
Qin Shuying smiled faintly and said, "On this purple jade, there is a small character engraved on it, Rong." ”
Lu Ruyang's face suddenly turned pale, he really saw the hell, how could Qin Shuying know?
The fifth princess stared intently at Qin Shuying's face, and her heart also swelled with turbulent waves, the word "Rong" was wrapped in a leaf, if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it at all.
"Mrs. Lu, if you let everyone see this purple jade, won't everything be clear?"
Lu Ruyang stared at Qin Shuying fiercely, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her face, "You stole something, naturally you have already seen it, of course you know that there are words on it!"
Qin Shuying ignored her, only looked at the fifth princess, and smiled very kindly, "Princess, Mrs. Lu was very rude when she was still in the boudoir, not only reckless, but also did things without regard for the end, and it was also a loss that the princess could stand her temperament." Ruyang, don't you thank the princess for her usual tolerance and teaching. ”
Lu Ruyang was so angry that her eyes turned black, but she became less and less courageous to confront Qin Shuying, but when she looked back and saw the kind face of the fifth princess, a greater fear occupied her whole body, and she said to Qin Shuying: "The princess treats me very well, of course the princess will teach me, and there is no need for you to pretend." ”
The fifth princess smiled and said, "Ruyang, look at the people you are close to you like this without rules. Mrs. Liang, you are aunts and nephews, of course Mrs. Liang knows that Ruyang has such a temperament, straightforward and sincere, and the palace likes her very much. ”
