I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Sima Fei'er's eyes rolled and she felt a panic in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and thought: I can't panic, I must get rid of this matter.

She stiffened her neck and argued, "Even if Yang Xiu gave me these fabrics, I didn't pay for them. It was Yang Xiu who settled the bill. You should go to Yang Xiu to settle the score! Besides, there was a problem with your dowry shop, but you didn't reflect on it and instead framed me. It's totally unreasonable!"

Chen Jia took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a cold voice: "Sima Fei'er, you bribed the clerk in my dowry shop to provide you with poisonous cloth, and deliberately asked Yang Xiu to buy it for you, just to cover up your tracks. Do you think we can't find out all this? The clerk has confessed everything!"

When Sima Feier heard this, her face turned pale and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Chen Jia's eyes were like burning torches, staring at Sima Fei'er, and shouted angrily: "Sima Fei'er, you made these poisonous cloths into clothes and gave them to the soldiers, causing her master's soldiers in Huaiyang City to lose their combat effectiveness due to poisoning and unable to go to war. Then you pretended to use herbs to save them, just to flatter yourself and create a glorious image of a female Zhuge Liang so that you can get the so-called reward. This despicable act of poisoning first and then detoxifying is simply disgusting and intolerable!"

Sima Fei'er's face instantly turned pale, and her eyes revealed panic, but she still forced herself to shout unconvinced: "I sincerely used herbs to save them, what's wrong with that? How can you be so confused? You are just jealous of my award, so you deliberately made up these false lies to frame me!"

Chen Jia laughed out of anger, folding her hands in front of her chest. She glanced at Wei Jue, and Wei Jue sent someone to bring up a stack of letters and account books.

Chen Jue threw it to the ground fiercely and shouted angrily: "Look at these! This account book and letter clearly record every transaction you made with your clerks, including the time, place, and amount. Nothing is missed! There are also personal testimonies from the soldiers. They saw with their own eyes that you ordered your men to deliver the poisoned clothes to the barracks. With such solid evidence in front of you, you still want to deny it?"

Sima Fei'er's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her eyes became more and more erratic, but she still said stubbornly: "I am not guilty."

At this time, Wei Lang swept his eyes majestically over the crowd, then waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Bring the witness up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two burly guards with solemn expressions quickly walked in from outside the hall. Their steps were steady and powerful.

The guards were holding the witness's arms, beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead. He was dressed in simple clothes, but his determination was revealed in his firm eyes, as if he was ready to face anything.

The atmosphere in the entire lobby became more solemn with the arrival of the witness. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, waiting for the truth to be revealed.

When Sima Fei'er saw the witness, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and revealed a sly smile.

The witness glared at Sima Fei'er and shouted, "It was you who ordered us to poison the soldiers!"

Sima Feier snorted coldly and retorted: "Don't slander me! When did I ever instruct you? What evidence do you have?"

The witness said anxiously: "You told us in person in that room..."

Sima Feier interrupted him, "Which room? Don't make it up. I don't remember anything like that."

The witness became more and more anxious. "It was the abandoned house on East Street. You also promised us a big reward after we succeeded."

Sima Fei'er rolled her eyes and said, "There are so many abandoned houses on East Street. How can you be sure that it was me who said that? Maybe you remembered it wrongly."

The witness blushed and tried hard to recall the details. "There was a broken table and a few broken boxes in that room."

Sima Fei'er's lips curled up slightly, "You have to recall such an important matter. This is clearly a false accusation. You dare to come to the hall and talk nonsense without any real evidence."

The witness' face flushed red, and he was filled with remorse. He clearly knew the truth, but at this critical moment, Sima Fei'er confused him and he was unable to express it clearly.

Wei Lang seemed to have expected such a thing. He calmly waved his hand again, indicating that another witness should be summoned.

Soon, another witness was brought into the hall by the guards. This witness held his head high, his eyes revealed calmness and wisdom, and it was obvious that he came prepared.

Sima Fei'er's heart tightened when she saw the new witness appear, but she still pretended to be calm, immediately launched an attack, and engaged in a heated debate with the witness.

"Are you also trying to do the same as that person before, making random accusations in an attempt to gain credit?"

The witness was not afraid at all and responded calmly: "Sima Fei'er, I have solid evidence to prove your guilt."

Sima Feier snorted coldly, "What evidence do you have?"

However, the witness was not intimidated by Sima Fei'er's momentum. He calmly took out something from his arms.

The witness raised the token solemnly and said in a loud voice: "Please look, everyone, this token was left to Sima Fei'er by her mother. Sima Fei'er has always been cautious. If she had not personally participated in this, how could she have left such crucial evidence? Although she claims that she is innocent, this token cannot be faked. Huaiyang City can testify to it."

Sima Fei'er's face darkened slightly, but she regained her composure in an instant.

She raised a sneer and responded sharply, "Even if the token is there, what does it mean? Maybe someone deliberately framed me. Regardless of whether the so-called poisonous clothing is true, even if it is true, the azure dye on the clothing will only make people feel a little itchy and cough, and will not endanger their lives. Moreover, everyone in the city wears such clothes. If there is a problem, it is the fabric provided by Chen Jia's shop that is problematic. She is the one who should be held accountable."

Chen Jia pointed at the account book with sharp eyes and said loudly: "Sima Fei'er, look carefully. When Yang Xiu was guarding Huaiyang City, the cloth I gave to Huaiyang was all black cloth, and there was no azure cloth at all. The purchase and delivery information of dyes here are clearly recorded. Don't even think about denying it!"

Sima Fei'er was stunned at first, then she forced herself to remain calm and retorted, "Humph, this account book may not be accurate. Maybe you forged it later. Even if you gave me black cloth before, it doesn't prove that I have nothing to do with the poisonous clothes. Maybe there was a problem with the dye in your shop."

Chen Jia sneered and said, "My shop has always been run with integrity, so how could there be any problem with the dyes? But you, in order to achieve your goal, did whatever it took and bribed the clerk to provide poisonous fabrics. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you are still quibbling."

Sima Fei'er blushed, but still refused to give in and said, "That guy might have been instructed by someone else to frame me. I am the victim."
