Chapter 406 I won’t let it go!
Yuan Zhen was already used to Xue Yanqing's squeeze.
After all, the two of them had different opinions and were in different official positions, so it was common for them to clash with each other.
"Whether it is true or not, we will know it after one trial."
Prefect Xue snorted coldly.
Princess Ji Xuan had a dark face and shouted impatiently: "I don't know the person she is looking for! Go back to where you came from!"
Ji Huashang, who was sitting on the armchair, frowned slightly when she saw this.
Ye Tianjiao said angrily: "Your Highness, don't be so quick to deny it. Someone saw with their own eyes that you took my cousin away. Do you need me to call them up?"
"Heh~"
Ji Xuan's face was gloomy and she sneered: "I have never even seen your cousin, how can I take him away?"
Seeing that the princess refused to admit it, Ye Tianjiao suppressed his anger.
"Good~"
He clapped his hands twice: "Bring it up!"
Two guards came over from behind, carrying a stout and plump woman.
The woman was taken to the prefectural government office with a horrified look on her face. She swallowed hard, trying to suppress her nervousness and panic.
"I am Shen Sanniang, a humble servant. Nice to meet you all."
Yuan Zhen asked, "Shen Sanniang, right? Let me ask you, where are you from? Where do you live? What do you do?"
Shen Sanniang lowered her head and replied tremblingly: "I am Shen Sanniang, a native of Liuzhou. I live in the second lane of East Pingnan Street. I run a butcher shop. All the neighbors know me."
Ye Tianjiao, who was standing beside her, pointed at the princess and said, "Let me ask you, do you know the people above?"
Shen Sanniang slowly raised her head and carefully scanned the people above her, and found that except for Prefect Xue, she didn't recognize most of the others. However, her eyes accidentally fell on one of them, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes in fear.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness?!"
Ye Tianjiao glanced at Ji Xuan who was sitting at the top and asked, "Do you know the princess?"
"How can you, a common man like you, know Her Royal Highness?"
Prefect Xue believed that this man was in cahoots with Ye Tianjiao, and he stared at Shen Sanniang with a fierce look, questioning her angrily.
Shen Sanniang's face turned pale, and she responded with fear and trepidation, "I was fortunate enough to get into the auction a few days ago thanks to my cousin's help. When I was leaving, I happened to meet Her Royal Highness, who was wearing this dress at the time."
"Although I am illiterate, I understand that not everyone can wear this thing, so I was able to recognize the princess."
Ye Tianjiao looked at Ji Xuan with angry eyes: "So, the person who took my cousin away at the auction that day was Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
After being provoked again and again, Ji Xuan was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up, her face gloomy, and she spoke harshly.
"I have already said that I don't know your cousin. Why are you framing me like this? What is your intention?"
Ye Tianjiao laughed angrily: "Framed? There are witnesses, Your Highness, do you still want to deny it?!"
Faced with Ye Tianjiao's aggressiveness, Ji Xuan's face turned pale and his fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.
Ji Huashang beside him raised her eyes slightly, stared at Ye Tianjiao and said slowly: "Your Excellency keeps saying that the princess took your cousin away, I wonder who your cousin is?"
When Ji Huashang reminded her, Ji Xuan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
Yes! How could she have forgotten this?
The person in front of her slandered her so much, but did not make it clear who her cousin was. He must be lying!
Ji Xuan, who thought Ye Tianjiao was lying, suddenly cleared her gloom and her tone became arrogant.
"Yes! You keep saying that I took your cousin away, but I don't even know who your cousin is. If you don't tell me what's right and what's wrong today, I will never let it go!"
Not willing to give up?
Ye Tianjiao had a mocking sneer on his face: Let’s see who will not give up in the end!
