No matter how stupid phase of Chu was, he knew that Madame Chu wanted him to help delay Chu Qingyao. Before they could do anything, Hong Tan and the people from the Prefecture had already rushed to the Residence of Prime Minister.

"Greetings, Lord Prime Minister." When the bailiff greeted phase of Chu, his face darkened as he glared unhappily at Chu Qingyao.

It would be a shameful thing if word of the Prime Minister's wife were to spread to the Prefecture. "Prince Zhi's Concubine, what happened? You want to face this lady in court?"

Chu Qingyao kept staring at Madame Chu, and seeing that she was holding onto her wrist, she mocked, "You want to know what Madame Chu has done?"

"Take him away!" she said coldly.

The bailiff looked at phase of Chu with a troubled expression and raised his hand towards him, "I am under the orders of my lord, and would like to request Madam to assist in the investigation."

Hong Tan realized that the princess had been keeping an eye on the Madame Chu, so he had a general idea of what to do.

"Master, I don't want to go to Prefecture." Madame Chu was about to cry.

phase of Chu did not believe that Chu Qingyao would be able to catch a hold on the matter of the Prime Minister's house, so he consoled her, "I will accompany you there." Madame Chu was startled, his expression changed ten thousand times in a moment, and he was at a loss as to what to do!

Hong Tan followed closely behind Madame Chu, staring fixedly at her every move. Madame Chu was burning with anxiety, so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and in the end, he was still brought to Prefecture.

Chu Qingyao suddenly walked towards the phase of Chu and lowered her voice, "If I were my father, I wouldn't lose face along with you." phase of Chu was stunned, Chu Qingyao had already walked over to the side.

When the Magistrate heard that the phase of Chu had followed them, his legs turned weak. Although it was late in the night, the outside of the hall was filled with spectators.

"Lord phase of Chu, Prince Zhi's Concubine, this lowly official will begin the trial. If …"

"You talk too much!" In the main hall, the main judge is the biggest. " Chu Qingyao interrupted him.

In truth, he already knew that Atractylodes chinensis Schneid was a hundred year old shop, and it was even more impossible for him to produce fake goods. However, people's hearts were always greedy, he also wanted to get close to the big tree known as the phase of Chu.

Seeing that Chu Qingyao had come alone, he already had a plan in his heart. He ordered someone to bring over a few chairs for phase of Chu and Chu Qingyao to descend.

"Someone, bring the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid to the hall."

Chu Qingyao waved her hand, "You've already broken his bones, so he can't move. You should be the one to interrogate him." He pointed to Little Gold and said, "Back then, the shop assistant was here. Interrogate him."

Prefecture pointed to the little gold, "I have already asked people to inspect the necklace sold by the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid, it is undoubtedly a fake. This is why I sealed the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid, I don't know if there is any new evidence that the wangfei insisted for me to try again?"

"Granny, tell me everything you know." Chu Qingyao looked towards the kneeling old woman.

Wangnu was just about to say something when he heard his father's sharp voice, "Wangnu, don't forget that you still have Chunya. Let's talk after you've thought it through."

This was a threat from the Red Fruit!

Chu Qingyao looked towards phase of Chu, only to see that he was looking straight into her eyes and nose, looking at her heart, as if he hadn't heard her. He could not help but sneer, for the Madame Chu to be so shameless, it was probably half of his effort as well.

"Princess, Wangnu's daughter was pushed into the well and drowned to death." Qing Yi carried a female corpse up the hall with a guard transferred over from the Duke Palaces.

Wangnu screamed miserably as he rushed over, "Little brat, why are you so ruthless? How can I live when I'm left alone with my mother? Tell me, who was the one that harmed you? " The mournful wail echoed throughout the entire hall, causing everyone to be moved.

"Shut up, there is no noise to be heard in the court." Magistrate was very annoyed to see that she did not stop crying.

phase of Chu's eyelids twitched, he looked towards Madame Chu, but when Madame Chu saw his questioning eyes, he immediately averted his gaze. Wangnu suddenly rushed towards Madame Chu, "You evil woman, how can you be so heartless? It's you who caused my sister's death, it must be you!"

Madame Chu was so scared that he quickly hid behind phase of Chu and pitifully shouted, "Master …"

"Audacious Wangnu!" Prefecture shouted loudly. A bailiff walked up to her and restrained her, making her kneel obediently.

Wangnu cried and kowtowed, "My lord, I admit, I admit everything. It was Madame Chu who gave the money to my daughter, Chun Ya. I bought the real pearl jade necklace and got it from Madame Chu, then gave me a fake to frame Atractylodes chinensis Schneid. "

phase of Chu's face was full of anger, at this moment he understood the meaning of Chu Qingyao's words.

Madame Chu was like a rooster whose hairs were standing on end as he pointed angrily at Wangnu, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I won't piss off your mouth. Magistrate, I am innocent.

"Master, everything I said was true, there was no lie at all. This was all secretly instigated by the Madame Chu, I hope that you can investigate it clearly and avenge my daughter."

Magistrate looked at phase of Chu. Seeing his dark face from start to finish, he was afraid that Magistrate was dissatisfied with him.

He then looked at Prince Zhi's Concubine, who was looking at him with a face filled with grief, anger and sympathy. After weighing his options in his heart, he decisively chose phase of Chu. Wangnu, it was clearly your daughter who was greedy and wanted to frame Atractylodes chinensis Schneid. Now that the matter has been exposed, she chose to commit suicide, and you dare to push this matter to Madame Chu, what kind of crime is that? "

Wangnu was stupefied, he cried and kowtowed, "Master Qing Tian, this humble woman has been wronged! Madame Chu forced my daughter to do this. She said that if my daughter didn't want to do it, she would sell her to a brothel. "My lord, please uphold justice for this humble woman. My daughter cannot die for no reason."

Chu Qingyao was so angered by Magistrate's deduction that her entire body was trembling. Just as she was about to get up, she saw someone walk in with a cold and dignified appearance. The person came up to her and said, "This King is tired."

Chu Qingyao raised her head and saw Xuanyuan Zhi's exhausted face. She quickly got up and gave her seat to him. She didn't think that he would suddenly appear here. She felt inexplicably happy in her heart. Although she had ways to take care of Madame Chu if he didn't appear, it was still different when he came.

Xuanyuan Zhi, are you worried about me?

The phase of Chu sized Chu Qingyao up. This daughter that she had never paid any attention to, how could she be doted on by the roasting king? If he had known earlier, he would have treated her better.

Magistrate almost knelt down in fright when he saw roasting king who had suddenly appeared. If only he had slapped himself a few times. If he had known earlier that roasting king had set his eyes on his wangfei, he wouldn't have decided the case like that!

His expression was solemn as he immediately asked, "Madame Chu, how do you explain the statements made by the Wangnu?"

Hearing this, Madame Chu did not feel right, and anxiously said, "Master, Wangnu is pure slander, can my Prime Minister's house not afford a necklace?"

Magistrate was startled, that seemed to make sense. Wangnu, you have no proof? "

Wangnu immediately laid on the ground, "Sir, the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid's necklace was given to you by my daughter a long time ago, where is the proof for this lowly one?"

"You are a troublemaker. How can you speak nonsense in the court?!" Madame Chu shouted with a red face and thick neck.

"Madame Chu, you should be clear about this old woman's nonsense. You are so heartless, Chun Ya's ghost will return in the middle of the night to settle the score with you." Seeing her daughter die such a miserable death, Wangnu had also been taken out.

"Chu Qingyao, I'm very tired." Xuanyuan Zhi was displeased to see that she did not say a word.

"Your Highness, please wait." When Chu Qingyao's gaze fell on Madame Chu's left wrist, it was as if she had been scalded by boiling water. She sneered. "Since Madam keeps saying she's innocent, do you dare to show everyone your wrist?"

A hint of panic flashed across Madame Chu's face, "Chu Qingyao, don't be too excessive, my Prime Minister's Palace has always emphasized etiquette, and women cannot casually show their skin to outsiders, don't you know?"

phase of Chu stared suspiciously at her wrist for three seconds, before her gaze suddenly landed on Chu Qingyao's face, "Prince Zhi's Concubine, you were born in the Prime Minister's Estate, so you can't take the disgrace of the Residence of Prime Minister!"

Do you remember now that she was born in the Prime Minister's Estate? Then when you were trying to harm Atractylodes chinensis Schneid, did you think about me?

"Does this daughter not understand father's words? Atractylodes chinensis Schneid is an estate my mother left me. This matter concerns my mother's innocence. If it really is the case that the manager of the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid is a greedy person, with such a fake appearance, his daughter would definitely not let him off. "

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she pointed at Madame Chu with confidence, "Sir, this wangfei will protect you with her life, the necklace that Atractylodes chinensis Schneid sold is on Madame Chu." Everyone was startled, Madame Chu's body trembled, and almost fell down.

She walked up to Madame Chu and extended her hand out, "Madam, do you want to take it yourself or should I help you?"

Madame Chu put his hands behind his back, his face flushed red as he argued, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Xuanyuan Zhileng looked at Magistrate coldly. He trembled from fear and immediately said, "Madame Chu, please do not make things difficult for this official." In front of the phase of Chu, he couldn't force anyone to search Madame Chu's body, so he could only ask Chu Qingyao for help.

With a look from Chu Qingyao, Qing Yi stepped forward quickly and rolled up Madame Chu's left sleeve, revealing the jade lotus that she was wearing on her wrist.

The phase of Chu was shocked as he glared hatefully at Chu Qingyao.

Chu Qingyao went forward and pulled down the necklace, bringing it to Wangnu, "See if this is what you bought?"

Wangnu recognized it for a moment and then excitedly held onto the necklace, "Master, this is what this humble woman bought! I ask that the Lord take revenge for this humble woman. "

Magistrate did not dare to look at phase of Chu, he only wanted to end the case quickly, "Madame Chu, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Madame Chu's face was pale white, he clenched his teeth, "Chu Qingyao, you will die a horrible death."

Yu'er had already told her to destroy the necklace so that Chu Qingyao would not be able to find any evidence. However, seeing that the necklace was valuable and that she had spent money to buy it, she wrapped it around her wrist, intending to wear it after this.

Chu Qingyao coldly said, "Cursing an imperial concubine is an even greater crime." Madame Chu's legs went soft and he laid on the ground. Master, save me. "

phase of Chu felt that he had lost all his face today. He flung his sleeves and left with a dark expression.

At this time, the Magistrate wished that the roasting king would leave as well. However, he sat there as steady as Mt. Tai, obviously waiting for the results. He could only clench his teeth and make a verdict, "We have already verified that Atractylodes chinensis Schneid was framed and released immediately. The Wangnu's daughter colluded with others and deserved to be punished for the crime. "Retreat!"

That's it?

Chu Qingyao angrily snorted, "Wait a minute, my Atractylodes chinensis Schneid's hundred years of reputation has been tarnished by the Madame Chu, my Atractylodes chinensis Schneid's manager is now in jail with his bones broken, does the Lord not care? Madame Chu has no sense of justice, and only has one hand to cover the sky, this wangfei is not convinced! "

The Magistrate tried to curry favor with her. "Princess, do you have any other requests?"

"I want Madame Chu to post a repentance letter and tell the world that my Atractylodes chinensis Schneid is completely honest and that the accessories sold are genuine goods. This incident was purely due to her greed and that she wanted to seize Atractylodes chinensis Schneid for herself. I want her to compensate my Atractylodes chinensis Schneid for the loss one thousand silvers, the loss of reputation twenty thousand silvers, and the medical expenses of my Manager Li, for the loss of ten thousand silvers. "

Madame Chu's mouth was wide open, Chu Qingyao was definitely asking for a sky-high price.

Seeing roasting king's cold face, Magistrate knew that he was dissatisfied. "Madame Chu, go back to the manor and prepare two taels of silver! Thirty one thousand gold, prepare to be sent to the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid as soon as possible. "

"No, no!" Madame Chu screamed. Where could she get so much silver? Yu'er had asked for silver from the palace, but she didn't have the money to give it to him, "Chu Qingyao, why don't you just rob me?"
