Chapter 320: Deliberate Frame-Up
our letter before, you mentioned wanting the rouge from Liuzhou Xiangju. I had someone purchase a box for you. Take a look, do you still like it" At this moment, Chu Tianqi instructed Zhao Si to bring..."Wind Sister, what happened" Xiao Yu Ge's brows furrowed the moment she saw Fang Min Rou. She seemed to have a hunch, this was definitely about her. 。"Yes...""Oh, isn't this Miss Xiao" Before Feng Yanniang could speak, Fang Minrou walked towards Xiao Yu. 。"Miss Fang, bringing so many people here doesn't seem like you're here to buy clothes. What's the matter" Xiao Yuge wasn't nervous at all. Fang Minrou dared to come here and make trouble, it was nothing more than targeting her. But if she wanted to target her, she had to have the ability. 。“The clothes you sold were laced with poison needles, which have now injured my sister-in-law! The doctor is currently trying to save her!” A woman in a green dress then threw a set of matching children’s clothing at Xiao Yuge's face and showed her a poisoned embroidery needle. 。Xiao Yuge took her clothes and looked at them, then handed them to Feng Yan'niang. Feng Yan'niang also carefully examined them. 。"As you can see, this attire is from your Ruyi Fang, isn't it" Fang Minrou stepped closer to Xiao Yuge: "This is Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and also the former bosom friend of this county princess. Now her sister-in-law has been deliberately murdered by Ruyi Fang...""Miss Fang, you need evidence when speaking, otherwise, the charge of slander isn't small..." 。Xiao Yu's song was not used to her, so she immediately interrupted her. 。“Evidence, they are all evidence. Their clothes were just taken back from Ruyifang yesterday afternoon.” 。"Fang Minrou had already made preparations: “We have reported the matter to the authorities. We will explain to the Minister of Justice ourselves later.” 。"Okay, then just wait." 。"When Xiao Yu Ge heard about the Censor, she wasn't afraid anymore. Even if Chu Tian Qi came, what could he do to her During the wait, Xiao Yu Ge used a voice only the two of them could hear to ask Feng Yan Niang, "Sister Feng, is this our clothing here"
"Yes," 。“Feng Yianni frowned slightly. After so many years in business, she had never heard of a customer finding a needle in their clothes before. Every time she finished a garment, she would carefully check for any broken needles. Even half a needle wouldn't be allowed to leave the shop if found, so it was impossible to find a complete embroidery needle inside a garment. This was too outrageous.” 。"Then, take a look at that needle. Is there anything amiss" Xiao Yuge also knew that if they couldn't find evidence to prove Ruyi Fang's innocence, then it would be just like Fang Minrou's wish. 。"There's definitely poison on this..." Feng Yanniang looked at the embroidered needle, her willow brows tightly locked. 。
In a short while, a squad of officers arrived and took them all to the Department of Punishments.
Chu Tianqi was very surprised to see Xiao Yuge among the people brought in for questioning. 。"Lord Imperial Censor, please do justice for my poor sister!" As soon as they arrived, Madam Liu burst into tears and played the victim. Normally, a woman from a well-off family, especially an official's wife, shouldn't be so brazen as to appear in court and confront someone publicly. However, because the Minister of Justice was known to be weak and submissive to women, Madam Liu dared to behave this way, and everyone just accepted it as normal. 。Chu Tianqi slightly frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Please elaborate." 。Then Mrs. Liu wiped her tears and said, “My lady and my husband’s younger sister ordered two sets of sister outfits at Ruyi Fang on the third day of this month. They agreed that the clothes would be finished in ten days, yesterday was the thirteenth..." 。After noon, my wife and her sister-in-law went to Ruyifang together. Their new clothes were just finished, so they took them back. They planned to wear them when they went out together today. Unexpectedly, as soon as her sister-in-law put on the clothes, she was stabbed by a needle hidden in the clothes. The needle was also poisoned. Her sister-in-law is still being treated by the doctor, and it is unknown whether she will live or die. My wife wants to accuse Ruyifang of plotting to harm her and her sister-in-law, and I beg Your Honor, the Minister of Justice, to make a decision! "Come here! Bring the evidence!" Although Chu Tianqi was willing to shield Ge'er and the others, he could only act according to procedure at this moment. 。"Sir, the evidence is here!" Zhao Si brought his clothes and embroidery needle. 。Chu Tianqi took a glance, pointing at them and asking Feng Yanniang: "Feng Yanniang, are these clothes made by your Ruyi Pavilion""The embroidery on the top with Ruyi Pavilion's unique mark is indeed from Ruyi Pavilion" 。"Feng Yanni remained composed, she believed Shao Louzhu must have a way. " 。
“Since that’s the case, is this needle then a lost item from Ruyi Workshop”
Feng Yanniang didn't even glance at it before shaking her head: “No! Each embroiderer at Ruyi Workshop has their daily supply of embroidery needles counted by someone. When they hand them in, even if half a needle is broken and not found, the garment won't be released. For years, there hasn't been a single mistake, let alone leaving a complete needle on top>>> 。"Maybe it was just a careless embroiderer from some guild" Before Chu Tianqi could speak, Fang Minrou interjected. 。Chu Tian raised an eyebrow, gave her a glance that seemed to say she'd said too much, and then ordered in a low voice: “Since that’s the case, bring all the embroiderers from Ruyi Pavilion here.” 。"Yes! Master!" During the break in testimony, Chu Tianqi ordered someone to secretly take Xiao Yuge to the back hall. 。"Ge'er, what's going on" Chu Tianqi personally brought her a cup of tea, his worried expression was definitely not feigned. 。"Can't you see it yet Someone is framing you." 。And the purpose is clear, it's aimed at me. 。"Xiao Yu Ge was fiddling with the silk scarf in her hand, feigning indifference. She knew that Fang Minrou did this to make it impossible for her to stay at Ruyi Pavilion. This was a ploy to force her out of Ruyi Pavilion, it's just a pity... “I will send someone to investigate this matter. You should also refrain from returning to Ruyi Pavilion for now to avoid any complications." 。Chu Tianqi was worried that if they couldn't find evidence, he wouldn't want to have to personally go and arrest her. 。"I'm a part of Ruyifang, Fengjie treats me like a sister. Before the truth is revealed, I won't leave." 。Xiao Yu's song will naturally not leave Ruyi Pavilion. No matter what, she is now the owner of Frost and Snow Tower, how could she abandon her subordinates 。Let's put on a show for them first, the main thing is to hold back Huo Yan's temper, otherwise, once his explosive temper flares up, he might just barge in and save Feng Jie regardless. Huo Yan is usually very calm, but once it comes to anything involving Feng Jie, he can't stay calm. This must be the magic of love, right 。"Ge'er, why are you so disobedient" Seeing her so insistent, Chu Tianqi was also anxious and scratched his head. 。"I'm not a child anymore, I don't have to be as obedient and naive as I used to be. " 。"Yes, wasn't she the one who foolishly listened to them in her previous life, only to be harmed and killed by them
“Ge’er, I know I was wrong. What do you want me to do Will you forgive me” These days, Chu Tianqi had hardly slept a good night. Every dream was filled with Xu Loulan's death, and Ge'er's heartbroken departure... 。d his gaze so that no one could see. 。Okay, go. 。" The prince retreated! Looking at his departing figure, the emperor couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's hard for this child. He is neither...
