Chapter 955: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Seventy-seven)
Prince Consort Zhou shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just think this jade pendant is so finely crafted that it doesn't look like something a maid could own. She must have stolen it. The words of a thief are not to be trusted. I, Prince Consort Zhou, don't believe my sister would hire someone to kill someone. She has no motive at all."
Qingli drank the tea in the cup. Hmm, it was the best new tea. Lord Du really understood the ways of the world.
What Prince Consort Zhou said was not convincing. She didn't believe it, so how could Lord Du believe it?
Lord Du obviously didn't believe it.
Lord Du stroked his beard and asked, "Why does the Prince Consort trust Zhou so much? Hasn't the Prince Consort discovered that his daughter also has an identical jade pendant?"
The prince consort denied it, "Master Du is mistaken. Zhizhi doesn't have such a jade pendant."
"Really? I heard that County Lady Zhou likes it very much and wears it with her. Because of that incident, the County Lady's personal belongings need to be kept separately. It should be in the hands of the Dali Temple now. I have already sent someone to the Dali Temple to retrieve the jade pendant."
"Master Du really remembered it wrongly. Zhizhi has many jade pendants, and perhaps one of them is just somewhat similar to this one. There is no need to trouble you so much and bother the Dali Temple Minister."
Lord Du smiled and said, "This is crucial evidence. It's only right that I take the trouble."
Prince Consort Zhou's face was gloomy and he felt a little angry. He thought, "Just kill a little maid, why make so much trouble?"
He stared at Qingli with gritted teeth, but did not dare to get angry. After all, she was the daughter of the prime minister.
Qingli drank her tea leisurely, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Time passed little by little, and at this moment, an official hurried in, holding a box in his hand, and whispered a few words to Lord Du.
After listening to this, Lord Du took the box, stood up and looked at the items in the box.
Prince Consort Zhou couldn't help but stand up.
Lord Du smiled and said to Prince Consort Zhou, "Prince Consort Zhou, the county lady's jade pendant has been retrieved, and..."
Prince Consort Zhou interrupted him nervously, "And what?"
Lord Du said solemnly, "Furthermore, after careful comparison, the two jade pendants are not only identical in appearance, but even the patterns on them are exactly the same. They come from the same piece of jade and are the work of the same master carver."
Prince Consort Zhou rubbed the corner of his clothes unconsciously, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Miss Song, isn't it strange that County Master Zhou's jade pendant is exactly the same as a maid's? What do you think is their relationship?"
Qingli joked, "If I didn't know that County Lady Zhou was the daughter of a wealthy woman, I would have thought she and her maid, Aying, were sisters. She hired someone to kill someone now because she's afraid her background will be exposed."
"Nonsense! Zhizhi is of such a noble status, how can she be compared with a maid? In my opinion, you are clearly dissatisfied with the feud between Zhizhi and your sister, and deliberately framed Zhizhi and my sister to vent your anger on Song Qingting."
Prince Consort Zhou was very excited, but Qingli still kept smiling.
Could she frame Zhou Zhiying for Song Qingting?
Haha, if it didn’t involve the people on her farm, she wouldn’t bother to care.
Unfortunately, the Zhou family has the support of the powerful government, is self-righteous, and has no patience at all, so they want to cause trouble at this critical juncture.
"The prince consort still needs to cultivate his moral character. I didn't say anything, but didn't Madam Zhou send someone to kill my maid?
She dared to kill someone on my farm. It's obvious that her appetite has been piqued by the Prince Consort and the Queen Mother, and she has disregarded the law. Prince Consort, don't try to quibble. Those assassins have confessed. Are you trying to turn black into white in front of Lord Du?
Lord Du coughed and said, "Prince Consort Zhou, please do not interrupt my investigation. Summon Ah Ying, Zhou, and the assassins. I will interrogate them in court."
