Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Prince Ning came to the cell and saw He Shulan sitting there calmly. He couldn't help but look at her with admiration. Most women would have panicked and cried if they encountered such a thing.

He stood in front of He Shulan and said, "Princess, I am in charge of this case. Let me ask you a few questions. Did you have someone collect the low-quality cotton?"

"No, the shop collects cotton from a fixed number of companies, and I have checked them all. The shop manager has the receipts, you can go check them."

He Shulan's answer was very clear, and the prince did not continue to ask the next question: "I understand, you just wait in the cell, and I will release you after I have investigated the case thoroughly."

The prince put the lunch box on the ground and said, "I asked the kitchen to make this snack for you. I told the government and gave them some money to make your meal better."

"Thank you." Today, He Shulan was still wondering why her food had improved. It turned out that the prince helped her, and her life in the cell became much better.

Prince Ning and the Prince of Jun came to the shop, found the manager, and told him that people in the north were freezing to death because of inferior cotton.

This frightened the person in charge: "We have checked all the cotton we collect, and we would never do such a thing."

"But there is indeed something wrong with your cotton. The only thing you can do now is to actively cooperate with my investigation, find out the truth, and get the Princess out of prison as soon as possible."

"What..." The person in charge looked at Prince Ning in disbelief: "Why was the Princess of the County arrested?"

Prince Ning patiently explained, "Because she is the leader of the caravan, you don't have to be too nervous. As long as you don't buy low-quality cotton, she will be fine."

"No, I'll give you the receipt now." The manager walked into the inner room and rummaged through the drawers and finally found the receipt for purchasing cotton.

He handed it to Prince Ning and said, "It's all here. Take your time to look at it."

Prince Ning placed the receipts on the table and examined them carefully. Each receipt indicated the place where the cotton was grown, the name of the farmer and the amount of cotton delivered.

Among the piles of bills, there was a yellow bill that caught her attention. There were dozens of names written on the bill.

Prince Ning asked in confusion, "There is only one person's name on these documents, why are there more than a dozen people on this bill?"

The manager replied seriously, "The tenant farmers planted the cotton, so the landlord's name was written on the bill. The bill with more than a dozen names on it was the cotton planted by the villagers in the suburbs, so their names were written together."

Prince Ning nodded in understanding.

"What's going on with this one? Why is the seal on the bill different?"

The person in charge looked at the prince who was speaking and said, "He is the princess's brother-in-law. He wanted to temporarily join the cotton selling business. The princess let him join in halfway, but because he was collecting cotton from the villagers, he was separated."

The prince thought Liu Chen was suspicious and handed the bill to Prince Ning: "We can focus on this."

Prince Ning nodded in agreement.

The two got on the carriage and came to Liu Mansion.

When Liu Chen heard that Prince Ning and the Duke of the County were coming, he immediately ran to the living room and asked the servants to brew some good Longjing tea and prepare some snacks: "I don't know what you two are here for."

"Do you know that people in the north froze to death because they wore cotton clothes made of inferior cotton?"

Liu Chen's heart skipped a beat, realizing that something was wrong: "I've heard about this, what does it have to do with me?"

Prince Ning continued, "This matter involves the Princess of the County, and you are also involved in it, so it has something to do with you?"

Liu Chen was so nervous that he was sweating. When Li Gao delivered the cotton, he checked it carefully and found no problems. He felt a little relieved: "The cotton we delivered is all good."

The prince felt that Liu Chen did not have the guts to buy low-quality cotton: "You still need to cooperate with the investigation of this matter. After all, words are not enough. Think back and think about which villagers you bought the cotton from."

"I have another partner, my good friend Li Gao, who is in charge of harvesting cotton."

The prince stood up and said, "Take us to Li Gao's house now."

The three of them walked out of the door and met He Shuzhen.

When He Shuzhen heard that the Prince of the County and Prince Ning were coming, she came and heard the conversation between the three of them at the door.

She had long ago advised Liu Chen not to do business, but he refused to listen and angrily yelled at Liu Chen, "The incident happened at the Prince's Mansion, what does it have to do with you? Don't go with them to find Li Gao, and don't get yourself into trouble."

Liu Chen didn't want to get involved, but now, he and the Princess were on the same boat, so he had to go even if he didn't want to: "Don't get in the way here, there are guests here, if there's anything, we can discuss it when I come back."

"No, if anything happens to you, I won't be able to escape."

The prince stepped forward and pushed He Shuzhen away: "If you continue to make trouble here, I will sue you for obstructing public service and put you in jail."

"You..." He Shuzhen looked at the murderous expression on the prince's face and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. "I'm also worried about him. I'm afraid something will happen to him."

"If he doesn't cooperate and investigate the matter thoroughly, it will be more likely to cause trouble." After saying that, the prince dragged Liu Chen away.

The three of them got on a carriage and came to Li Gao's house.

Li Gao didn't know the Prince of Jun and Prince Ning, but he and Liu Chen had been friends for many years, and Liu Chen's friends were his friends, so he gave them a warm welcome.

Anxious Liu Chen ignored Li Gao's enthusiasm and asked seriously, "Did you receive low-quality cotton?"

This made Li Gao unhappy: "We have known each other for so many years, don't you know who I am? Besides, I won't do any shady business."

"The low-quality cotton sold to the people in the north came from our caravan, and now the princess has been arrested and thrown into jail."

"How is that possible?" Hearing this, Li Gao's face changed: "I have carefully checked the cotton I purchased, and there is no problem?"

"Think about it carefully. We have to harvest so much cotton every day, and there will always be fish that are missed." Liu Chen did not blame Li Gao, but pulled him to solve the problem together.

Li Gao recalled carefully. He had a good memory. Although he harvested a lot of cotton, he was sure that there were no problems. He asked his wife Liu Ying to join in halfway.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't stop beating wildly. He only took a rough look at the cotton sent by Liu Ying's uncle from her mother's side, but didn't check it carefully.

His expression became more and more nervous, and he stood there for a long time without saying a word.

Liu Chen was very anxious and kept urging: "How is it? Have you found any clues?"

This matter involved Liu Ying, and Li Gao deliberately helped her conceal it and did not tell Liu Chen the truth: "No."
