Chapter 507: The Sick Proton's Pampering 29
Ming Qian's face darkened. "According to the law, thieves should be put to death. Sixth sister, are you questioning the rules set by our ancestors?"
Ming Fu chuckled lightly: "Fifth sister, please don't put such a big blame on me. I just think this matter is a little strange. I shouldn't be so careless."
"The evidence is all there, so what's so strange about it?" Ming Qian said sarcastically, "After all, it's because this thief is Sixth Sister's savior, right?"
Ming Fu admitted frankly: "Of course, this is also a part of it."
Mingqian: “…”
Everyone ate melon in silence, their eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.
Although it had been rumored for a long time that the fifth princess and the sixth princess were not on good terms, this was the first time they had been seen confronting each other in front of so many people.
Ming Qian's face flushed with anger. She looked at the Nanyue Emperor anxiously and said, "Father, I believe Yun Yu should be executed immediately. We can't let him off the hook just because he saved my sixth sister's life. If we do that, who will respect the laws of Nanyue anymore? It's said that if the emperor breaks the law, he's just as guilty as the common people! We can't let the people of the world lose their faith!"
Mingqian’s words are too harsh.
Ming Fu glanced at Emperor Nanyue's slightly gloomy face, and for a moment she didn't know whether praising Ming Qian was too hasty or too stupid.
"While our country's laws are certainly important, wouldn't it be the casual disregard for human life that chills the hearts of the people?" Ming Fu bowed to Emperor Nanyue and said, "Father, I find this matter suspicious and full of doubts."
Emperor Nanyue: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Ming Qian gritted her teeth: "..."
It happens again!!
Ming Fu ignored her resentful look and asked the eunuch beside her: "Where is the evidence you found? Let me see it."
The eunuch immediately took out the gold, silver and jewelry that had been searched from Chaohua Palace.
Ming Fu took a look and laughed out loud: "I thought it was some treasure, but it turned out to be just some scrap metal."
Eunuch: “…”
Perhaps Mingfu is the only one who can call gold, silver and jewelry scrap metal.
"Father, this pile of gold, silver and jewelry is the evidence."
Emperor Nanyue raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Ming Fu glanced at the crowd and spoke slowly, "Everyone here knows that Yun Yu is my savior. If he is my savior, he should also know how many treasures I gave him...but he didn't want any of them."
"I would like to ask everyone here, if he doesn't want the treasure I put in front of him, is it necessary to take the risk to steal it?"
After a pause, she added in a furious tone, "It's still just a pile of junk."
Everyone: "..."
It seems to make some sense.
After all, when they were studying in the academy, everyone saw how good the Sixth Princess was to His Highness Yun Yu.
If he wanted some treasure, couldn't he just tell Mingfu?
There is really no need to steal.
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Ming Qian panicked and quickly shouted, "If he didn't steal it, then why did it appear in his bedroom? Could it be that someone deliberately framed him?!"
Ming Fu shrugged. "Then I have to ask Fifth Sister, how did Yun Yu offend Fifth Sister that you framed him like this?"
"You said I framed him?" Ming Qian's eyes turned red after she realized what was happening: "Sixth sister, you have to provide evidence when you speak, and don't forget—"
"I found my hairpin in Yun Yu's book!"
"Could it be that I've even thrown away my own reputation just to frame him?!"
When she said this, Mingqian's eyes turned red with excitement.
You have to know that a woman’s reputation in ancient times was as important as her life.
For a moment, everyone felt that Mingqian was right.
