Han Youning blessed her, "Madam also knows that there are always four copies of a woman's dowry list, one for her husband's family, one for her natal family, one for herself, and one for filing with the government. Let's take the list and compare it.

Yes, these heads and faces are the ones up there."

Although everyone held their own opinions, the lady still believed in Han Youning more. Her demeanor was inexplicably convincing. The most despised thing among the people in their clan was the kind of person who always had a petty attitude and could not get on the stage.

She kindly reminded, "After so many years, that list may still be there..."

If they were determined to seize the dowry, how could they leave any evidence?

Han Youning smiled, "I'm not afraid. If my aunt's is gone, there's still the old lady's, and if the old lady's is gone, there's still the government's. If by chance they're all gone, the share left by the Chen family is in my hand, and it has

The signature fingerprints of both parties and the official seal must be correct."

"Oh...that's all right. It just so happens that I haven't seen Mrs. Ding Guogong for a few days. I'll go see her for tea tomorrow."

Everyone else was also excited, "I'll go too!"

"I am coming too!"

Han Qingwan's heart sank to the bottom. Chen Youning thought of this trick!

She was almost certain that her mother had secretly stolen these tiaras from her aunt's dowry.

Today, her mother comforted her so generously, saying that she could choose the right one casually, but she probably had to choose from the eldest aunt's dowry, right?

She frowned and said, "How can my eldest aunt's dowry be seen in front of outsiders like a bustle? My uncle is about to make a triumphant return, and he will definitely be angry when he comes back. The county master has never met my uncle, so he may not know his deep affection for my eldest aunt."

Han Youning smiled and said, "Cousin, are you not going to prove your innocence?"

Han Qingwan secretly gritted her teeth and said sternly, "My momentary grievance is nothing. It is about the dignity of the Duke's government, how can it be trampled on at will?"

Han Youning raised his head and looked at Zhao Yin, "I wonder what the third prince has to say, so why are you so anxious to ask for justice?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Miss Chen was too courageous to challenge the Third Prince!

The third prince has an upright temperament and goes his own way. If she offends him, even Duke Ding may not be able to protect her!

Zhao Yin frowned. Was it because Han Qingwan was so evasive because of respect or because of guilt?

He said, "Since Duke Ding will not return to the capital soon, there is no harm in waiting for a few days."

Han Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief. The third prince also said so, and Chen Youning would not dare to disobey him.

Just as Han Youning was about to speak, her face suddenly changed slightly and she clenched her hands unconsciously.

Beside Zhao Yin, a tall man in black clothes stood up, a golden dragon soared with great power.

Prince Zhao Chen, he is actually here too.

She had not seen him since she came to the capital, and had to receive a verbal message from him, saying that there was no urgent need to inquire at this time and that she should settle down in peace first.

She heard that Zhao Chen was in charge of the case, and she was relieved that she didn't have to deal with him. But she also wondered that the development in this life was becoming more and more different. Zhao Chen did not participate in the trial of the previous life. The day after she came back, she was summoned by Dali Temple for questioning.

. Maybe it’s because Zhao Chengyuan and Huo Shan were involved.

Han Youning lowered his head, avoiding Zhao Chen's always gentle gaze.

People downstairs also noticed Zhao Chen and paid their respects one after another.

Zhao Chen said in a deep voice, "There is no need to wait for Duke Ding to come back. If it is inappropriate for so many people to watch, Gu and the third prince can just bear witness."

There was a moment of silence in the lobby.

The prince actually got involved directly. Who is he helping?

Starting from a golden hairpin, this matter became more and more serious, and even the prince and the third prince came forward.

The truth is becoming more and more exciting.

Han Qingwan's face turned pale.

If the Crown Prince and the Third Prince witnessed it in person, not only would they not be able to refuse, they would not even be able to do anything about it!

She said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just that these are just trivial matters in the palace, and I don't dare to trouble Your Highnesses."

Zhao Chen did not respond to Han Qingwan, but looked at Han Youning, "Zhaoping County Master, what do you think?"

Han Youning Fu Shen said, "His Royal Highness the Prince proposed, I dare not say anything."

Zhao Chen smiled, "You dare to challenge the third prince, why are you so timid now?"

Han Youning still lowered his eyes and said calmly, "His Royal Highness is majestic, but my little girl is frightened."

Zhao Chen smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Then I'll just assume you agree."

Zhao Yin looked gloomy and turned to look at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen sat back on the master's chair and said quietly, "Third brother, do you have any questions?"

Zhao Yin also sat back and said, "No. The eldest brother still wants to hear the case of the Chen family. I thought you wouldn't care about such trivial matters."

Zhao Chen glanced at him lightly and said, "You have also seen the eldest lady of the Chen family. What do you think of her?"

Zhao Yin said, "She is calm and thoughtful when faced with problems, unlike a young woman of this age."

Zhao Chen lowered his eyes and drank tea, "It seems that the third brother has a bad impression of her."

"More than two hundred members of the Chen family were slaughtered, but she, a little girl, escaped with her maid. How can she be a simple-minded person? Don't you think it's strange that the emperor is in charge of this case?"

Zhao Chen said, "Huo Shan, the head of the Wei Xing Escort Bureau, testified that he had been entrusted by Mr. Chen to escort Chen Youning to the capital for a short stay. She had already left Xiangping Mansion the night the Chen Mansion was destroyed."

He gently shook the tea in the cup and said quietly, "Third brother, it is not your style to speculate on Chen Youning without verification."

Zhao Yin was silent.

Zhao Mi rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Miss Han has a beautiful heart and a refined appearance. It is normal for the Three Emperors to prefer beautiful women."

Zhao Yinleng looked at him, "Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense."

--

The clerk has already installed all the heads and is waiting with the box in his arms.

Shopkeeper Ding took out the contract from his arms and said to Han Qingwan, "According to the agreement, the leader is not allowed to trade because of his unknown origin. The lady has to pay two thousand taels of silver. If the lady doesn't have a silver note with her, ask the clerk to go to Guizhou later.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a mansion.”

Han Qingwan's heart was filled with worries again. She had failed to show off her reputation, had caused trouble for her mother, and had to pay for it in the end!

"Then I'll trouble you, shopkeeper Ding, to send someone to Duke Dingguo's mansion."

Han Qingwan didn't want to stay in this place anymore, so she put on the curtain and left in a hurry.

Han Youning drank tea absentmindedly.

She didn't look upstairs, but she always felt eyes on her.

Zhao Xiang'er happily ate the snacks and slurred her words, "Sister You Ning, we really made a profit today. We ate so many snacks without spending any money, and Han Qingwan suffered a big fall. It's really fun!"

Han Youning said, "Hurry up and eat. I'll have other things to do later."

"Where are you going, not to Linlang Pavilion? I also want to give you a gift!"

"You helped me so much today, which is a great gift."

Han Youning took out a pair of silk ruby ​​gold earrings from his purse and wrapped them in a silk handkerchief. "These are from the Chen Family Silver House. You can wear them."
