Pan Ruoruo refused to agree to Song Qianning compensating for the price difference and insisted that she had stolen silk and make her pay the price for it.
Finally, under Pan Ruoruo's relentless pursuit, the matter was brought to the government office. A group of people, including the cloth shop owner, went directly to the court and started a confrontation there.
Ning Qiuze sat at the head of the court, looking at the group of people below, his eyes fixed on Song Qianning in surprise.
After everyone was gathered, Ning Qiuze pondered for a moment, then asked seriously, "Who is here? What brings you here today?"
Before Song Qianning could speak, Pan Ruoruo shouted loudly, "Sir, please make the decision for me."
After Pan Ruoruo yelled a few words, Ning Qiuze turned his gaze to Song Qianning and looked at her patiently: "Song Qianning, tell me what happened."
Glancing at the people beside her, Song Qianning spoke calmly, "Yesterday, the cloth shop owner sent me the clothes I asked her to make. Today, when the two children came to the restaurant after school, I found that the fabrics they were wearing were not right..."
"Tsk." Pan Ruoruo interrupted Song Qianning, pouting, her face full of disgust and contempt: "Song Qianning, who are you fooling here?"
"You received the clothes yesterday. Why didn't you notice anything wrong when you received them yesterday? Why did you only come to court and claim that you discovered the fabric was wrong?"
"If you ask me, you did it on purpose!"
Ignoring Pan Ruoruo, Song Qianning continued, "After discovering the fabric of the clothes was wrong, I brought my child to the cloth shop to ask the owner what was going on. As soon as we arrived, Miss Pan and the owner slandered us, saying that the fabric used in my daughter's clothes was stolen from her."
Before he could continue, Pan Ruoruo interrupted again: "Hey, Song Qianning, if you want to lie, at least find a better excuse. Do you really think everyone is as stupid as you?"
"You were the one who ordered the fabric. You saw the dress yourself yesterday and personally handled and inspected it. You're not blind, so how could you tell if the fabric was the one you ordered?"
"Your Excellency, you must be very discerning. Song Qianning must have seen the value of my silk and deliberately stole it and replaced it. Now that she's been discovered, she's claiming she didn't know."
After being interrupted again and again, Song Qianning's forehead veins were throbbing.
Looking at Pan Ruoruo who was still chattering and throwing dirty water, he felt impatient and moved his fingers slightly under his sleeve in her direction.
The next second, Pan Ruoruo's voice, which was still shouting, stopped abruptly. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
After silencing Pan Ruoruo, Song Qianning looked away and continued with what he had just said.
After explaining the whole story, Song Qianning looked at Ning Qiuze and said, "I was not aware of the silk incident. I don't know why the cloth I ordered for my child was replaced with silk. I hope the prefect will investigate the matter thoroughly and clear my name."
Pan Ruoruo, who was speechless, looked at Song Qianning angrily, but she couldn't say a word and could only stare at her.
She cursed Song Qianning in her heart, but strangely, although she looked angry, she did not look anxious at all.
In the hall, after listening to what Song Qianning said, Ning Qiuze fell into deep thought.
After a while, he frowned and looked towards the hall, his face thoughtful: "Song Qianning, according to you, the silk that was replaced was not stolen by you?"
"right."
After saying this, Ning Qiuze looked thoughtful. After a long while, he looked at Song Qianning again with a puzzled look in his eyes. "A few days ago, the owner of the cloth shop went to the government office to report that there was a suspected theft in the cloth shop."
"I wonder where you were on the day the cloth shop was suspected of being robbed?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Song Qianning subconsciously looked at Ning Qiuze who was standing in the hall with a serious expression.
He glanced at Pan Ruoruo beside him inconspicuously, and saw that she was full of anger and contempt, but there was no tension on her face. It seemed that she was not afraid at all that what he and Ning Qiuze said would affect her.
Taking in the expressions of both of them, Song Qianning narrowed her eyes slightly.
As a clever and sensitive fish, Song Qianning immediately realized that Ning Qiuze and Pan Ruoruo were deliberately targeting her.
Realizing this fact, Song Qianning thought of what had happened between her and Pan Ruoruo before, and sneered in her heart.
The feelings are directed at her.
Even though she guessed that the two were deliberately targeting her, Song Qianning's face showed no sign of nervousness. She remained calm and composed, speaking in a calm tone without any guilt or nervousness: "I don't know about the theft in the cloth shop."
Hearing Song Qianning's words, Ning Qiuze slammed the gavel and said seriously, "Since you said you didn't know about the theft, then you should first answer my question. Where were you on the day the cloth shop was robbed? Do you have any evidence to prove that you were not there that day?"
"On the day the cloth shop was robbed, I was with Young Master Qin."
Unexpectedly, Ning Qiuze in the hall heard her words, his eyes turned, and he squinted and said, "Then tell me where that Young Master Qin is."
"If you can invite him to testify for you and confirm that you were not there that day, then I can confirm whether this incident was done by you."
After Ning Qiuze finished speaking, Song Qianning paused for a moment, and the expression on her face gradually changed.
Qin Ye has already left and is not here at all. He cannot come here at all, and naturally he cannot appear in court to testify.
Seeing Song Qianning remained silent, Ning Qiuze frowned and said unhappily, "Song Qianning, I asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"
"You yourself said that Young Master Qin could testify. I simply asked you to call him over so you wouldn't answer. But everything you just said to me was completely false. Are you too guilty to call anyone?"
Knowing they were targeting her and wouldn't let her go easily, Song Qianning didn't panic at all in the face of the trap. She stared straight at Ning Qiuze, "What if Young Master Qin can't testify today?"
Ning Qiuze's expression immediately turned serious. "If he can't testify, and can't prove that you were with him that day, then it means you're lying. I will naturally have to deal with you according to the law."
Song Qianning remained calm and unfazed. Instead, she smiled and asked Ning Qiuze, "According to the prefect, if I cannot testify for myself today, then I must be guilty?"
"That's right."
With a light laugh, Song Qianning asked again, "Then, Lord Prefect, are you going to allow others to frame me and throw me into jail based on nothing but a guess, without any investigation results or evidence?"
