Chapter 2003: Chapter 2003: Loyal Guard Dog (11)
"Your Highness, this wretched girl is speaking nonsense! How could I be capable of such a thing? I almost really..."Zhen Rou directly threw herself in front of the Third Prince and cried.
Changsun Hang looked at Zhen Rou’s tearful face, and his heart softened instantly.
But, thinking of the items Yun Xiang presented, he frowned again: "How do you explain the jewelry I rewarded you with being in Yun Xiang’s hands?"
Zhen Rou was startled.
She didn’t have much Silver, so she used those pieces of jewelry.
Changsun Hang gave her plenty, and she figured he wouldn’t notice, choosing a few inconspicuous pieces.
Moreover, given her past experiences, Changsun Hang never thoroughly investigated.
Yet, she didn’t expect to be caught this time...
Zhen Rou’s mind quickly spun around and soon a plan formed.
"I was wondering where my things went missing... turns out you stole them!"
Yun Xiang’s eyes widened: "Miss Rou, those were clearly given to me by you!!"
"When did I give them to you? Those are items his Highness rewarded me with, why would I give them to you!"
The two women exchanged heated words, making quite a commotion.
Chuzheng propped her chin up, watching their argument.
Finally, feeling annoyed by the noise, she raised her hand to speak: "I still have a witness here, does the Third Prince wish to see?"
Every time Changsun Hang heard Chuzheng speak now, his brow throbbed.
Glancing at Ying Xiang standing at the doorway, Changsun Hang had to swallow his anger.
Yann Qin!
He, a prince, actually had to fear a minister!
Changsun Hang gritted his teeth: "Bring them in!"
Zhen Rou’s delicate face turned ashen, where did she get a witness? How could she have a witness?
-
Brought in was a frail man, who shivered and knelt on the ground upon entering.
Zhen Rou did not recognize him, thinking he might be someone Chuzheng randomly found, when Chuzheng spoke slow and measuredly.
"I’ve investigated the poison on Zhen Rou; it could only be bought from his place in the entire city. Take a look, who among the people here purchased the medicine from you?"
Zhen Rou: "!!"
Among those present, Zhen Rou’s close maid Huanhuan visibly stepped back two paces, her eyes filled with fear.
She recognized this man...
The man raised his head, his gaze quickly meeting Huanhuan’s: "It... it was her!!"
Huanhuan shook her head: "No... I didn’t, he’s lying."
Man: "This humble citizen wouldn’t dare; it was indeed this young lady who purchased it from me, I remember clearly."
