I couldn't figure it out, so I immediately went to find the boss of the raw materials.

After hearing what Chu Weiyue said, the boss sighed depressedly.

"Miss, didn't your sister say she wanted to cancel the cooperation with me? So what does the problem with the wood have to do with me? The wood used is not mine at all!"

This shocked Chu Weiyue, and her face instantly darkened to the extreme: "This Chu Ranxin is really so bold!"

He rolled up his sleeves and immediately rushed back to the marquis's mansion.

At this time, Chu Ranxin was sitting in the room fiddling with her hairstyle. He snatched the hairpin from her hand and threw it hard to the ground.

"Chu Ranxin, explain to me clearly why you canceled the original cooperation? And who did you buy the materials from? Why are there so many problems?"

Chu Weiyue used harsh words and launched a fierce attack.

Chu Ranxin rolled his eyes indifferently: "Those materials are the latest, convenient and cheap, and the price is affordable. Isn't it that I just want to save some money? Is there anything wrong with this?"

"You call that saving money? If you are saving money, why don't you record it or tell me? Are you saving money or are you just trying to pocket the money?"

Every word she said was like a loud slap in the face, slapping Chu Ranxin hard, leaving her speechless for a moment.

At this time, Wen Jingchi also brought people to inspect the construction progress.

The foundation has been completely laid and some walls have been built.

He walked to one of the walls and pushed it gently. His expression instantly became serious. The foundation seemed to be somewhat unstable.

"Bring the hammer here." He ordered the men beside him.

His men brought a big iron hammer to his side, and Wen Jingchi hammered the ground hard. The foundation actually began to loosen, and the wall on one side collapsed.

This scene surprised everyone, including the construction workers.

Wen Jingchi came to Hou Mansion angrily with his men, and happened to see Chu Weiyue and Chu Ranxin arguing.

Upon learning that it was Chu Ranxin who was the supervisor, Wen Jingchi questioned her directly.

"Chu Ranxin, since you are the supervisor, can you give me an explanation as to why this happened? You have neglected your duties, which is a serious crime!"

These words completely frightened Chu Ranxin. She did not think too much when she swallowed the silver. She completely forgot that the charity hall was built by the court. Embezzling the silver was equivalent to going against the court and she would be arrested and imprisoned.

Her hands began to tremble subconsciously, and she immediately pointed at Chu Weiyue.

"These are all materials bought by Chu Weiyue. How would I know? I know nothing. I'm just a supervisor. I saw that the workers were making good progress, so I didn't say anything. The rest has nothing to do with me."

With just these few words, he tried to throw all the dirty water on Chu Weiyue.

Chu Weiyue had already anticipated her words: "If that's the case, then let's find the evidence now and see who is right and who is wrong!"

"Chu Weiyue, what do you mean by this? Did I deliberately embezzle the money? Is that what you mean?" Chu Ranxin pretended to be angry and argued with her with clenched fists.

"I don't want to waste any more time on you. Anyway, if we find the evidence, no one can refute it."

Seeing that Chu Weiyue was about to take people out, Chu Ranxin stopped her, feeling guilty yet justified.

"In the end, you still don't trust me. Anyway, you asked me to supervise in the first place. Even if something goes wrong, you can't escape the responsibility. Don't throw all the dirty water on me."

Chu Weiyue didn't want to waste time talking to her at all and just wanted to find evidence, but Chu Ranxin pulled her and was determined to muddy the water.

Wen Jingchi was too lazy to listen to the two men arguing here, and immediately asked his men to pull them apart.

"Chu Weiyue, she said that you bought the materials, so you should take the responsibility. What evidence are you looking for?" Wen Jingchi looked steady and calm.

"Of course I went to find the suppliers of raw materials and the workers who were fired. If I remember correctly, a lot of workers were fired. At the beginning, some people reported the problem of unstable foundation to me, but I didn't pay attention..."

After all, she didn't know much about construction, and only today did she find out that the raw materials had been replaced.

Wen Jingchi did not hesitate at all and took the two of them to find the owner of the raw materials.

After listening to their questions, the boss pointed at Chu Ranxin's nose.

"Yes, it's her. I recognize this woman. She is the second daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She was the one who said she wanted to cancel the order."

"I..." Chu Ranxin tried to defend herself, but at this moment she had no way to refute.

Soon, they found the workers who had been fired. These people lived very close to each other and were almost all neighbors. When they learned that they were coming, they immediately swarmed out.

"Miss, I'm glad to see you today. I went to see you several times before, but was driven out by Miss Two every time. She said I was making trouble and fired me, but I was telling the truth. There was really something wrong with the material!"

The other workers immediately nodded in agreement, almost completely accusing Chu Ranxin of knowingly committing the crime.

When I came to the construction site again, I found that the wood was full of worm holes and was completely unusable. The outer layer was in good condition, but the inner layer was very rotten.

And the bricks used for building the walls would break with a slight tap and could not bear such heavy weight at all.

All this was like ironclad evidence, making it impossible for Chu Ranxin to turn over.

Wen Jingchi's eyes were burning with anger, and he shot a sharp look at Chu Ranxin.

"Now, what else do you have to say? How dare you pretend to be a good person and deceive the court? Now I will ask your father to give me an explanation."

Then, he set his eyes on the men next to him. Chu Ranxin wanted to escape, but was pinned to the ground by them.

The workers all saw this scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chu Ranxin's face turned red all the way to her ears, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She had never felt so embarrassed in her life!

How can a girl go out and see people after being pinned to the ground in the street?

Wen Jingchi didn't care about all this. Together with Chu Weiyue and his other men, they came to the Marquis' Mansion in a heroic and high-spirited manner and personally threw Chu Ranxin in front of the Marquis.

"Your Highness, what is going on? What did my daughter do wrong to make you so angry?" The Marquis was puzzled for a moment.

"You should ask your good daughter yourself!"

Wen Jingchi laughed coldly and didn't want to answer a word.

A servant ran back from outside and whispered something in the marquis' ear.

After hearing this, the Marquis's face changed drastically.

"Chu Ranxin, how could you do something that goes against your conscience!"

"Dad, I was wrong..."

Chu Ranxin bit her lower lip, tears of grievance rolling down her cheeks, but at this moment she could not say anything except regret.

Not wanting to waste any more time talking to her, Wen Jingchi set his eyes on the Marquis.

"Alright, Lord Marquis, now that things have come to this, you should take good care of your daughter. We have just started to build the charity hall, and luckily nothing serious has happened. I will speak well of you to the Emperor, but it is also for Chu Weiyue's sake, so you better take care of yourself!"

After leaving these words of warning, he slammed the door and left without looking back.
