Chapter 779 No wonder your son committed murder
Old Master Ji said sternly, "Grand Empress Dowager, such a humiliating act as a body search must not happen. My grandson-in-law's family is not short of money, so it is impossible for him to steal the jade pendant. Please help him."
The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Xuanli and asked, "Emperor, what do you think?"
Xiao Xuanli asked, "Miss Song Chuman, can you prove that your father did not steal the jade pendant?"
Song Chuman nodded: "Of course, as long as we find the jade pendant."
After saying that, she looked at Gou Yingya, "What color is the jade pendant?"
Gou Yingya snorted, "What a pretentious person! You're asking even though you already know the answer. Of course it's emerald green."
Song Chuman asked again: "Are you wearing that jade pendant?"
Gou Yingya: "Of course."
Song Chuman continued to ask: "What are the characteristics of the jade pendant?"
Gou Yingya was certain that Song Chuman wouldn't be able to pull any tricks, so she said, "It has the character Sheng, the name of the Sheng family, written on it. A purple pearl is embedded in one of the strokes."
Song Chuman asked again: "I understand, but are you sure you only wore a jade pendant today?"
Gou Yingya frowned and said impatiently: "How many times are you going to ask? I only wore one jade pendant here, and now I don't have any jade pendant on me."
Song Chuman said helplessly, "You're already so old, how come you have less patience than a child like me? No wonder your son committed murder!"
Gou Yingya choked.
The people around couldn't help but laugh.
"Indeed, at my age, I'm not as stable as a child."
"Maybe he was stimulated by his own son."
"What's there to worry about with a son like that? If my son killed someone, I would be the first to disown him. He would be a disgrace to us as parents."
"That's right, if I were from the Sheng family, I would definitely not recognize him, so as not to affect my other children."
"Madam Sheng only has one child with Lord Sheng, and I heard the other one was born before she got married."
"Huh? No wonder she always wants to save people. That's pretty much like her only son."
…
Song Chuman looked at Xiao Xuanli and said, "Your Majesty, Grand Empress Dowager, you may search me, but you must search Madam Sheng first. If the jade pendant is not found on her, then I will agree to search my father. No, our entire family can be searched."
Seeing Song Chuman's determined eyes, Xiao Xuanli had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Gou Yingya frowned and said, "Why are you searching me? I'm not a thief!"
Song Chuman smiled and said, "Because I suspect you directed and acted it yourself."
Gou Yingya thought about it and agreed, "Okay, search if you want. I can't direct and act in it myself anyway."
She had just sent someone to put the jade pendant into Song Hexiu's clothes.
The weather is cold now, and everyone is wearing thicker clothes.
It would be easy to put it quietly on Song Hexiu's body without him noticing.
The Empress Dowager said, "Come here, search me."
Song Chuman suddenly said, "Grand Empress Dowager, let me search you."
Gou Yingya was the first to object. "No, what if you secretly put the jade pendant on me while I'm being searched? Wouldn't that prove I staged this all myself?"
Song Chuman helplessly spread her hands and said, "Since you say so, then forget it. Your Majesty or the Empress Dowager will be asked to designate someone."
Princess Gongxuan was about to speak when King Gongxuan shook his head at her.
He knew that the princess did not want to search him, but just wanted to stop the farce.
