Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s really unfair for Eldest Miss Liu to have such a fiance! How could she be so gentle to Silly Second Prince!”
“How can I not be gentle? No matter how stupid he is, he is still a descendant of the Royal Family. Do you dare to do anything to him?”
“In this world, who doesn’t want to find a good man to protect them for the rest of their lives? But no matter how you look at it, it’s Eldest Miss Liu protecting Silly Second Prince!”

The onlookers looked at Liu Shimei with even more sympathy.
No matter what, she was someone who almost became the Crown Princess!

After the discussion stopped, Wang Lan asked Madam Zhang, “Madam Zhang, you have confessed to stealing the property of your stepdaughter, Liu Shimei. You have also signed your testimony. Do you have any objections in court?”
Even if Madam Zhang had ten thousand objections in her heart, she could not say it out loud. She gritted her teeth and said, “No.”
She wanted to take the blame for her daughter, or rather, the head of the family wanted her to take the blame for her daughter. There was no other way!
However, she was naturally not convinced. She was filled with resentment towards Liu Shimei and fear for the future.
If she was really sentenced to jail, would the mistress of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence change when she was not around?
Without her protection, would Liu Yan’er still have a chance of becoming the Crown Princess?
Before leaving the house today, Madam Zhang had specially visited Liu Yan’er and repeatedly reminded her not to provoke Liu Shimei before she was chosen as the Crown Princess!
Originally, she had said that she could pass the sentence if there were no objections. However, what everyone did not expect was that the official in charge of investigating the case from the Supreme Court, who was standing at the side, said, “You don’t have any objections, but 1 have my doubts!”
His expressionless and impartial appearance caused an uproar.
Liu Shimei also looked over.
Inviting Lu Mou to investigate the case was not only because he was not afraid of power, but also because of his ability to investigate the case.
However, if she accepted Madam Zhang as her scapegoat, this young official of the Supreme Court might not be willing. If Lu Mou insisted on pulling out the real culprit, how should she deal with it?
As expected –
“What doubts do you have?” Wang Lan asked.
“Sir, according to my investigation at the scene and my questioning of all the servants in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, the information we obtained points to the fact that the theft was committed by the servants of the Lotus Courtyard!”
“And Lotus Courtyard is now the Residence of Liu Yan’er, the Second Young Lady of the Liu Family! It’s not Madam Zhang’s courtyard.”
“Although Madam Zhang gave a reason, saying that she ordered the servants of Lotus Courtyard to steal Liu Shimei’s property, this lowly official thinks that there are many suspicious points!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter listening to his statement, Liu Fuyun’s expression changed slightly. Madam Zhang was even more flustered!
Although Lu Mou had raised some doubts about what they had said when he had asked the Grand Chancellor yesterday, he did not say whether he believed them or not. Unexpectedly, he only expressed his stance in court.
He did not believe it!
“Then, in your opinion, this theft case was not done by Madam Zhang, but by someone else?” Wang Lan asked.
“I only suspect that Liu Yan’er was the one behind this case. There is no need to be anxious. Whether it is true or false, you only need to summon the servants of Lotus Yard to ask!”
“Correct,” said Wang Lan. “Bring the servants of Lotus Courtyard!”
Everyone in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence had already been beaten up, and these people did not dare to speak the truth easily.
However, it might not be the case when it came to extorting a confession under torture!
Seeing that things had changed, Liu Fuyun quickly looked at Liu Shimei and signaled with his eyes, “What should we do now?”
Now that Liu Yan’er was involved, he was more anxious than anyone else!
