Song Yue nodded and followed.
The house was filled with the sound of crying. Yuan Fuling was crying her eyes out, and even her clothes were from yesterday, indicating that she hadn't gone home all night.
"Yue'er, did you send someone to cause a scene and change the betrothal gifts?" Yuan Fuling said in a hoarse voice, "You're really confused! Doing this will only bring shame to the Duke's mansion!"
Song Yue raised an eyebrow.
"Song Yue, I never expected you to be so stubborn!" Song Hengchuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, angrily pointing his finger at her nose: "Tell me, where are those switched betrothal gifts?"
She ignored Song Hengchuan, raised her head to look at the Grand Madam, and waited for her to speak.
"Don't look at Grandmother, I've already found evidence. You bribed someone to deliberately cause a scene when the betrothal gifts were delivered yesterday, and then took the opportunity to switch them out," Song Hengchuan said angrily.
Song Yue looked calmly at Song Hengchuan: "Where's the evidence?"
"You won't give up until you see the Yellow River! Today I'll show you the evidence!" Song Hengchuan shouted outside.
A young man was dragged in and kowtowed to Song Yue: "Miss, I'm useless and I've been caught. I have elderly parents and young children to support, please don't blame me."
“This person was one of the newlyweds yesterday. He saw with his own eyes someone switch the real items in the box during the chaos. Also, I have already sent people to investigate. The couple from yesterday were not a married couple at all; they were outsiders,” Song Hengchuan said.
Song Yue remained calm and asked, "Then tell me, when did I first meet you?"
"Fifteen days ago."
"I only gave you this order?"
“There are others.”
"Who are the others? What are their names? Where do they live? Since you saw the bride price being snatched yesterday, why didn't you report it to the authorities? And why were you arrested by the Duke of Jingguo's men?"
Song Yue's barrage of questions left the man somewhat bewildered. He nervously swallowed and looked at Song Hengchuan.
Song Hengchuan glared at the man fiercely: "Continue!"
"I..." the man stammered, "I was just following orders. I don't know anything about the others. I'm a local, I've shown my face before. With the power of the Duke of Jing's mansion, what difficulty would it be for me to be caught?"
"Song Yue..." Song Hengchuan tried to interrupt her sharply, but Song Yue suddenly looked at Song Hengchuan: "I was only three months old before I left the manor, so how could I know that the fake was made to resemble the real thing? I have never seen the betrothal gift list!"
A single question left Song Hengchuan speechless.
Yes, the goods are fake, but they are made to resemble the real thing.
Even if you're going to exchange it, you should at least have the opportunity to see the real thing, right?
Song Hengchuan looked at Yuan Fuling with suspicion.
