"Lord Liu only interrogated my father, but not Jiang Qingwan. Is it because you dare not offend His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Liu Ruzhi was so angry she almost laughed.
This family is utterly shameless.
Even now, they still dare to accuse the Ninth Prince.
"I was afraid of wronging Old Master Qin, so I sent someone to investigate the contact person in the culvert and obtained a list with his own signature. In that testimony, your father not only tried to extort money from Madam Jiang that she had deposited in Puheng Bank, but also pawned Madam Jiang because he didn't have enough money on him to pay the kidnappers.

If there are any changes to the judgment document outside the yamen after the retrial, I will have it posted again."
