What Zuo Shaoyuan held in his hand was a handkerchief.
The handkerchief was trimmed with black, very different from those used by ordinary girls.
”Master Minister, I found this handkerchief outside the Casual Village, and it was identified by the shopkeeper. Because the color of the handkerchief is unique, it was specially made for you, and it is the only one in the entire capital.”
Zuo Shaoyuan paused for a moment, then looked at Su Li and continued, ”Does Fourth Miss dare to accept, that this handkerchief is yours?”
Su Li laughed coldly, she knew that this handkerchief was something that Mo Lianjin had brought along with him when he gifted the clothes to her.
Only, she did not bring a handkerchief out yesterday. Thinking about it, someone from the Fifth Prince's Mansion took her things and used it as a false proof for the Zuo Mansion!
”Yes, the handkerchief is mine.”
Su Li's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
”Lord Minister, from this, you can see that Fourth Miss has been to the Casual Village before.” Zuo Shaoyuan pressed on.
”In that case, I would like to ask a question.” Su Li looked at Zuo Shaoyuan with disdain, and pointed to the handkerchief in his hand, ”You said that you found the handkerchief outside the Casual Village, but have you ever touched it after you picked it up?”
Zuo Shaoyuan frowned, ”This is my proof, I have not touched it.”
”Alright!” Su Li suddenly laughed, he retracted his gaze and looked at Liu Chongming, who was seated in the main judge's seat, ”Everyone knows, there was a big rain the night before, it stopped yesterday morning, so the ground is full of puddles, it was extremely muddy, Master Minister has to watch carefully, Zuo Young Master said that the handkerchief was found outside of the Casual Village, then why is the handkerchief so clean and clean?”
As soon as Su Li finished speaking, Zuo Shaoyuan immediately looked at the evidence in his hands.
After he had obtained this item, he had kept it in his sleeve the entire time. He hadn't touched it, and was only forced into a corner when he took it out in one go. Unexpectedly …
”I remember that when I went out yesterday, I left a handkerchief on the bed, I didn't bring it out with me. Young Master Zuo sure is powerful, he actually let someone inside the Fifth Prince's Mansion!”
”You …” Zuo Shaoyuan's face darkened.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the shadow of a person could be seen walking in from outside the justice courts. The commoners quickly moved to the sides, and a few people walked in from outside.
The one in the lead was Mo Lianjin. She was dressed in profound clothes, and although she looked calm and collected, her unperturbed black eyes contained an unfathomable depth and coldness.
Behind Mo Lianjin, Qing Mu held onto a young servant girl. When they arrived at the court, she immediately threw him forward.
Su Li glanced at the servant girl on the ground. She recognized her.
”This servant shouldn't have stolen the Fourth Miss's items for Young Master Zuo. This servant was wrong. This servant is guilty, please spare my life …” The maidservant cried loudly, her face ashen.
Liu Chongming frowned as he looked at Zuo Shaoyuan, ”How dare you frame a government official?”
Zuo Shaoyuan and Zuo Shaochen looked at each other before they bent their legs and kneeled down, ”I...”
He repeated 'I' several times in a row, but he still couldn't finish the sentence.
By this time, Meng Shaoqing, who had gone to bring Stars Pet Chain Supermarket over, had returned.
”Reporting to Lord Minister, we have indeed found a carriage at the back of the medical hall. The owner identified it as theirs, Stars Pet Chain Supermarket has also brought it here.”
Stars Pet Chain Supermarket bowed and retreated back to Su Li's side, not saying a word.
Liu Chongming asked, ”You are Stars Pet Chain Supermarket?”
”Yes.”
”When did you and Su Li return to the city yesterday?”
”Time.”
”Where did you go after returning to the city? When will it be separated? ”
”After returning to the city, I went to the infirmary. It was only at the tenth day of Fourth Miss that I decided to return to General's Mansion. I didn't want to hurt the old lady's heart.”
