Old Madam Han said with a straight face, "In order to seek justice in this matter, I will listen to Miss Ning and let her decide."

Mother Qian was puzzled, but saw that Old Madam Han shook her head slightly.

Old Madam Han understood that if Chen Youning ruled that she was innocent, there was no evidence and the convincing power was insufficient, even if Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu wanted to be angry with the Dingguo Mansion, they would not be able to be justified in the end. This matter can be vaguely passed.

Han Youning did not shirk and calmly accepted the errand.

The lady present couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After all, her experience is too shallow, and when she took this errand, she took the hot potato into her own hands.

Han Youning lifted the basket on the ground and looked at it, the chrysanthemums inside were beautiful, the petals were fat and tender, and the aroma was quiet, which was indeed delicious.

Resisting the urge to pick it up and eat one, she stiffened the basket and paced between the kneeling servants.

She walked extremely slowly, and there was a pause in front of everyone, so that people couldn't understand what she was doing.

Finally she walked over to the three witnesses and stood still, "Have you touched these?"

The three of them shook their heads and said in unison, "No!"

Han Youning asked again, "Have you touched those two pots of chrysanthemums in the flower hall?"

The three of them replied, "No!"

Han Youning didn't ask too much, and asked people to open up a side room, she presided over the trial, and Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu observed. All the maids who served in the flower hall and garden went into the wing room one by one to be questioned.

Old Madam Lu dutifully stared outside with a whip, not allowing people to have a chance to confess.

Han Youning couldn't help but laugh when he saw her waiting. Actually, no, it doesn't matter if they collude.

The maids came in one by one.

There was a silver ticket of one hundred taels on the case in front of Han Youning, and he only asked two questions, "Did you cut it, did you see who cut it?"

Without exception, all the answers are negative.

And Han Youning was not arrogant or impatient, so he let them out quickly, and then asked the next one.

Although Princess Chengjun had a good impression of Han Youning, it could be seen that she was interrogating so softly, and there was no deterrent at all, so she couldn't help but shake her head.

"Girl of the Chen family, if you continue to ask like this, you can't find any results. Although a hundred taels is a lot, it is comparable to the life of a family, and I am afraid that no one will dare to take this money."

Han Youning smiled, "Princess Jun, you wait patiently, there is always someone who can tell the truth."

Mrs. Liu kept her face black, and she didn't bother to argue with her, so it was strange to find out who was coming from this look.

She has already made a plan in her heart, and reported it to the government to investigate the case, and under the heavy punishment, there will always be those who can't stand it.

The last person to enter the wing room was one of the witnesses, a maid in Tsing Yi, named Songzhi.

Han Youning asked the same question again, and the answer was still negative.

Han Youning didn't let her out, but said, "It seems that Miss Qingzhi is not going to confess."

There was a moment of panic on Matsueda's face, and she forced her composure and said, "Why did Miss Biao say this?"

Han Youning took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said lightly, "Naturally, someone has pointed out against you, and there is always someone who can't resist the temptation of a reward of one hundred taels of silver." Tell me, "How did I offend you and let you frame me?"

Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu, who were already sleepy, raised their heads in surprise, did they miss something?

Why didn't they hear anyone testify?

Songzhi knelt on the ground and said, "Miss Mingjian, the slave doesn't dare to frame you. But I don't know who made up such a thing, and the slave and maid want to confront her!"

Han Youning said, "Since I want to interrogate them one by one, it is so that people can tell the truth without any scruples. Wouldn't it be treacherous to tell you at this time? Princess Heng Chengjun and Madame Liu have heard it, and I don't need to prove anything to others."

Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu, who were mentioned as "already heard", were stunned, they really didn't hear anything!

Princess Chengjun roughly guessed that Han Youning was going to confess to Songzhi, so she said with a solemn face, "Yes, you told the truth at this time, Ben

The concubine understands what you have to suffer, and she can be lenient. If you don't admit your guilt, you'll have to be tried by the government."

Han Youning glanced approvingly at Princess Chengjun.

Princess Chengjun smiled at her happily, am I very clever?

She suddenly remembered each other's identities, immediately smiled, and resumed the arrogant posture of looking at people through her nostrils.

Matsueda's eyes flickered when he heard the word "official mansion". However, she has been trained by the old lady's side for many years, and has risen all the way to the second-class maid, and her heart is stronger than that of ordinary maids.

She clenched her teeth, "The slave is really wronged, I am afraid that someone is greedy for silver and does that kind of thing to frame people."

Han Youning stood up and slowly paced to her, "Miss Songzhi is left-handed, right?"

Matsuzhi was stunned, although it was no secret that she was left-handed, but Miss Biao had just arrived, if no one had specifically told her this, she would not know if she was a left-hander. It seems that someone really told the truth.

She panicked in her heart, but she couldn't deny this kind of overt thing, and she replied, "Miss Huibiao, the slave is left-handed."

Han Youning chuckled, "You are smart and didn't lie about this. Actually, it's useless for you to lie."

She reached out and took the hand of the pine branch, spread her palm, pointed to the thin cocoon in the palm of her left hand, and said, "You are used to doing things with your left hand, and your left hand is rougher than your right hand. It's one thing to do something to someone, and it always leaves some traces."

Matsueda was surprised by Han Youning's meticulous thoughts, and said calmly, "What does Miss Biao have to do with chrysanthemums when she says this?"

Han Youning asked Ling'er to move the two pots of flowers in, and she pointed to the incision on the flower branch and said, "Holding scissors in your left hand and scissors in your right hand, the gap cut out is different in terms of direction of focus or inclination. These openings were clearly cut by left-handed people."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu walked over quickly, carefully observed the incisions of the two pots of chrysanthemums, and it was really the scissors from the left.

She slapped Songzhi in the face, "***, you still can't deny it!"

Songzhi sat down on the ground, covering her cheeks and quibbling, "Maybe Yu Niang deliberately cut it with her left hand to confuse the public?"

Han Youning didn't bother with her, and ordered Ling'er to go out and bring in a pot of chrysanthemums, and handed a pair of scissors to the pine branches, "You finish cutting this pot of chrysanthemums with your right hand."

Matsueda held the scissors awkwardly in her right hand, and even if she concentrated all her strength in her right hand, she still couldn't control the scissors flexibly, let alone cut the rather tough chrysanthemum branches.

She was so busy that she was sweating profusely, and it took a long time to cut all eight chrysanthemums.

The incisions of these chrysanthemum branches are blunt and messy, the tendons and bark are jagged, and some of the branches are almost torn off, without the neatness of the two pots of chrysanthemum branches.

Han Youning distributed the chrysanthemums to Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu.

As soon as the two of them looked at it, everything became clear.
