Chi Wanyue, kneeling on the ground, could also see it. Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched tightly, but her face was full of resentment.
Why? I've never been any less than my older sister since I was little, and I've been pampered by our parents. Haven't my sister given me so many things? In the mansion, there's always something good, and I always choose first before giving it to my sister.
Why should I?
And how could the prince like someone as dull and boring as her? She didn't believe it!
"Your Highness, what brings you here? Why do you make my daughter kneel here? Did my sister say something?" Chi Wanyue asked unwillingly.
Jiang Jin gave him a disgusted look, then helped Wange to sit down to the side.
The singer, still holding pastries, glanced at Jiang Jin with some unease.
Jiang Jin patted her head to reassure her.
Then they directly sent someone forward to bring the witness up.
When the others heard the witness's testimony, their faces were filled with doubt, including those of Duke Chi Xiaoguo and his wife.
No one else knew what had happened, but Chi Wanyue's expression changed drastically when she saw the person who had arrived.
The burly man knelt on the ground and immediately kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, it really has nothing to do with me. It was Miss Chi who made me do this and contact the people. I just wanted to make some money. Please spare my life, Your Highness."
"Chi Wanyue, do you want to admit what you've done?" Jiang Jin, sitting in the main seat, spoke coldly, a completely different tone from when he was talking to Wan Ge earlier.
Everyone else trembled at the sight of Prince Duan. They all remembered him as a god of war, a warrior who had fought countless battles in the borderlands and achieved great feats.
Chi Wanyue collapsed to the ground, then shook her head desperately: "No, no, I didn't do it, Your Highness, I didn't do it, don't believe me."
“If she won’t talk, you will.” Jiang Jin then looked at the burly man kneeling on the ground who didn’t look like a good person.
The middle-aged man trembled upon hearing Jiang Jin's voice: "Your Highness, five days ago, Miss Chi the Second asked me to find a group of bandits to rob Miss Chi the First on the road and attack her. Afterwards, she instructed me to spread rumors in the city that Miss Chi the First had lost her innocence."
Upon hearing this, the young duke and Madam Chi's expressions changed drastically. Madam Chi fainted several times, but finally mustered the strength to listen to the rest of the story.
Madam Chi was deeply shocked. Her eldest daughter had been killed by bandits, and it was her second daughter who had spread the rumors in the city.
"You! You! You unfilial daughter! How could you do this? She's your own sister!" The young duke was trembling with rage. He truly believed that Wan Ge's encounter with the bandits was an accident, and that the prince had arrived in time. He never imagined that someone had deliberately done this, and that person was none other than his own daughter.
If you didn't understand it at the beginning, what is there for the young duke not to understand now?
He had been wondering why the news had come before Wan Ge had even returned. It turned out that someone was making a move over there, while someone else was spreading rumors here.
"You, you, you..." The young duke almost fainted as well.
"I don't care about any of that. I just want to know what the young duke plans to do now. You know, I had people keep this matter closed to the public, but if the duke doesn't handle it well, don't blame me."
