The wife of the Marquis of Yongning mocked, "Do you really dare to report it to the authorities? We in the Marquis' Mansion don't want to wrongly accuse anyone, so just report it to the authorities!"

Originally, he felt somewhat confident of winning, but now seeing that Su Ci was also full of confidence, he was a little confused.

Could it be that the jade pendant was really not on Su Ci? Where did the jade pendant go? If such a valuable treasure was lost, not only would Mrs. Chen from the second house be punished, but she would also not be able to get away with it at all, and would inevitably be scolded and blamed.

Madam Cui Si said, "I just saw Lord Wang of Jingzhao Prefecture at the door. Why don't we invite him over and make a clear judgment on this case in front of him?"

It seems that they are really confident and justified!

Su Ci was also a little impatient to see their sad expressions when they failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice. It must be very interesting!

But at this time, two more men came in. They both had outstanding faces, especially the man in front, who gave people a sense of elegance and elegance. His noble temperament made his appearance stand out even more. Su Ci quickly recognized that this was the King of Qi, Baili Feng.

Even if he stood in front of Baili Chen, his appearance would not be inferior. However, he did not have any of Baili Chen's toughness and fortitude.

On the surface, the King of Qi appears to be gentle and unrestrained, but in fact, this man is extremely sinister and vicious, hypocritical and artificial. He only does things behind people's backs and does things that are shady. Just like Cui Yuan, he is like a rat in the gutter who cannot be seen in public.

The man behind him was also handsome and vigorous, and was considered the most outstanding among the men of the Cui family. However, he had a sinister and fierce look on his face, which was not concealed at all, and people would be terrified when they saw him.

Both of them are outstanding and attract attention.

They were followed by several loyal followers.

After the two came in, the King of Qi smiled and said, "It's so lively here!"

Everyone was flattered and bowed respectfully to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.

Seeing these two people, Su Ci could hardly hide the hatred in her eyes. She lowered her eyes, hiding all the madness in her eyes that wanted to kill them both.

Soon Lord Wang was invited over.

After listening to everyone's narration of the cause and effect of the incident, Lord Wang chuckled and said, "There is indeed insufficient evidence in this matter. If we only search Miss Su Jiu, it is really unreasonable. It is better to search all the ladies present to prove your innocence!"

After hearing this, Su Ci nodded in agreement.

He just put forward his own demands: "If the jade pendant is found on me, I am willing to accept any punishment prescribed by the law, but if the jade pendant is not found, all those who wronged me must not only kneel down and kowtow to me, but also compensate me for the loss of my reputation with 100,000 taels of silver each."

Madam Cui Er said, "You are crazy about money!"

"Didn't you swear that I stole something? Why, you don't have the guts now? Then you are slandering me for what I did just now. I can ask the government to give me an explanation."

The ladies looked at each other. They were in a complete dilemma. They then looked secretly at King Qi Baili Feng, who nodded slightly.

Su Ci noticed this small detail and guessed that not only the Cui family was involved in this frame-up, but perhaps the King of Qi was also aware of it and was not innocent. He must have come here as an accomplice of the Yongping Marquis' Mansion.

Finally, it was agreed that the King of Qi and Lord Wang would serve as witnesses and it would officially take effect.

Su Ci was the first to walk to the compartment behind the screen and undergo a body search by two maids assigned by Lord Wang.

The two maids searched her body carefully several times, up and down, front and back, but found nothing.

After coming out, he reported to Lord Wang: "Sir, Miss Su Jiu doesn't have a jade pendant on her!"

This sentence was like clear water poured into a frying pan, boiling instantly.

After hearing this, the ladies of the Yongping Marquis's residence were all in disbelief. Madam Su II shouted at the top of her lungs, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"Why not? Why are you so sure that the jade pendant is on me? Did you secretly put it on me, which is why you are so sure?" Su Ci asked aggressively.

Mrs. Cui was speechless and dumbfounded by the question.

The ladies of the Cui family absolutely did not believe it.

It was clearly them who secretly put the jade pendant into Su Ci's waist.

The maid said that she came here directly after coming out of Mingxin Courtyard, and there were secret guards and maids watching her along the way, so she had no chance to move the jade pendant at all.

So, why is the jade pendant not on her now?

Where did the jade pendant go? Was it really lost?

This is a heavy loss!

The ladies were so embarrassed that they were speechless and their faces turned red with anger.

Su Ci stared at them and urged them, "Now it's your turn to search your bodies and prove your innocence!"

The ladies had no choice but to accept the search.

The two maids finished the entire search but did not find any trace of the jade pendant.

Now everyone is very surprised, where did the jade pendant go?

Su Ci smiled nonchalantly and said, "I now suspect that this is a play directed and performed by you. You secretly hid the jade pendant first and then framed me."

Every word is sonorous and sounds great.

"You are talking nonsense. We will never do such a heartless thing."

"That's hard to say. I don't believe in the character of the people in Yongping Marquis' Mansion. When I went to the mourning hall to pay my respects, you falsely accused me, a weak woman, of being a murderer; now you are collectively accusing me of stealing. I really can't praise what you have done. If all the wealthy families are so insidious and vicious, who would dare to come as a guest? Who would dare to associate with Yongping Marquis' Mansion? If we are not careful, we will be tricked to death by you!"

"Don't say anything else, just compensate me for my reputation first! My young heart has been greatly damaged in the Marquis' Mansion, and this little compensation is not enough to make up for the damage done to me."

After saying this, he covered his chest in pain.

When the wife of Marquis Yongping heard that each person had to pay a compensation of 100,000 taels of silver, she felt as if she was cutting her own flesh.

She looked at the King of Qi and said, "Your Highness, the jade pendant is indeed lost. We did not intentionally wrongly accuse Miss Su Jiu. The Marquis' Mansion also suffered a huge loss. After all, the jade pendant is very valuable."

Baili Feng said in a gentle voice: "Since we are all relatives and this is all a misunderstanding, let's just leave it at that!"

Su Ci thought that this Prince Qi was quite interesting. He was so generous to others, and he could do it so blatantly. Did he really think that others were fools? Were they afraid of him?

She giggled, her sarcasm obvious.

Su Ci finished laughing, and showed no respect to the King of Qi at all. "Everyone says that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is wise and brave, honest and trustworthy, but what he did today really opened my eyes. I realized that rumors are misleading."

The King of Qi's face turned blue instantly because of her ridicule. He glared at Su Ci coldly, trying to use his aura to oppress her and force her to submit.

Su Ci was not forced at all, and continued: "People have to have dignity, and trees have to have bark. I didn't expect that people with dignity and status would do things so shamelessly and their words are worse than farts."

Madam Yongping pointed at Su Ci and glared at him: "You, you are so vulgar..."

"Vulgar is better than shameless, right? How can a person without shame be called a human being?" "Love is always there, no matter how far apart we are, can you give me a good review?"
