Chapter 61 Confrontation in the Court

Lu Zhili looked at him with a sidelong glance, unable to hide the viciousness in his eyes, "Lord Su is not used to Lu's talent, so he used such a clumsy trick! He would not be so stupid as to hand the cheating clothes to me personally, but let his daughter Su He give them to me!"

Hearing the word Su He, Lu Huaihe turned his eyes to him again, with a hint of cold arrogance on the corners of his lips, and his eyes were deep.

"Do you have any evidence?" he said.

Lu Zhili took out the purse that was trimmed by Lu Yan from his arms, presented it with both hands, and answered clearly word by word: "This is Su He's embroidery craftsmanship, and it is exactly the same as the embroidery on the cheating clothes. Lord Lu, please take a look!"

The purse cut in half became an evidence and was presented in the court.

Lu Huaihe touched the broken stitches on the fabric, and Su He's gentle smile appeared in his mind.

Baili Jun asked gently, "What is the relationship between Su He and you?"

"Your Highness, Su He was married to Lu's brother. According to the generation division, Lu should call her sister-in-law. But her words and deeds are really unbearable. She didn't have any children for three years in the mansion. After the divorce, she wanted to take revenge on Lu and her family!" Hearing the

dissatisfied accusations echoing in the government office, Su He's eyes flashed, and he suddenly returned to the time when he was slandered by him in the Golden Palace in his previous life.

Through the thin screen, Lu Zhili's kneeling figure was vaguely visible. Su He silently clenched his sleeves, waiting for the next trial.

The purse was thrown to the ground and landed at Lu Zhili's feet.

Lu Huaihe's eyes were unhappy: "There are no less than hundreds of similar embroiderers in Beijing. Why are you so sure that it is Su He's craft?" "

Su He showed her embroidery skills when she was at your house. I will never make a mistake! If you don't believe me, you can ask her to come to the court to demonstrate."

He insisted that it was Su He who did it.

Qingyun secretly glanced at Lu Huaihe and saw that he pursed his thin lips, his slightly bent fingers lightly tapped the table, his eyes were dark and obscure, and he was angry.

Su He is an ordinary woman. It would not affect her reputation to go to court for no reason.

Even if she was wronged after finding out the truth, it would not make up for anything.

Lu Huaihe's eyes vaguely swept across the screen, and the mottled green bamboo seemed to blend with her.

"Lu Yuan, why don't you speak?" Seeing that he was slow to give orders, Baili Jun couldn't help asking.

When hearing cases in the past, Lu Huaihe had never hesitated. What happened this time?

Lu Huaihe came to his senses and ordered Qingyun to invite people.

After hearing the news, Su He left the screen with interest, left from the back door of the government office, and waited for the summons at the front door.

Upon seeing her beautiful figure, Qingyun couldn't help explaining for Lu Huaihe: "The prince is in town today, and my young master..."

"Nothing, take me in."

Qingyun suddenly found that her right hand was hidden in her sleeve, which seemed inconvenient.

When facing Lu Zhili's accusation, he also seemed particularly calm, as if he had known this would happen.

Although he was a little curious, he didn't say much and immediately led Su He to the court.

Lu Huaihe raised his eyes slightly and saw Su He walking slowly behind Qingyun. Today, she was wearing a water-blue dress, which made her look even thinner.

But she kept her sleeves clasped and her hands covered, making it difficult to see clearly

. "But Su He?" Lu Huaihe's voice was calm.

"That's right." Su He bowed and lowered her eyes.

After finishing speaking, Baili Jun asked someone to pass him a needle and thread and a silk handkerchief, and said in a clear voice: "Lu Zhili pointed out that you framed him. If you want to prove your innocence, don't hide it."

Su He closed her eyes: "Of course I dare not hide it, but unfortunately, I accidentally hurt my hand yesterday. I am afraid that I will disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

She raised her long sleeves, and a scarlet scar appeared on her palm in front of everyone.

Lu Huaihe's ink-like eyes dimmed slightly, and his fingers clenched tightly.

"You are clearly feeling guilty!"

Lu Zhili suddenly raised his voice, stood up and pointed at Su He and said sternly: "Why did you get hurt earlier or later, but at this time? And you still say it was not intentional?"

"Lu Zhili, I have taken care of you for several years, and buried your mother. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. But today you are talking nonsense, framing me, and even splashing dirty water on my father? You keep saying that my father and I framed you, but that set of cheating clothes was clearly given to you by Liu! I have been away from home for many days, how could I have come into contact with the things in her hand?"

Lu Zhili hurriedly said: "You gave it to Yun Qing first! She is young and can be easily deceived by you..."

"How do you know that Lu Yunqing didn't frame me with empty words? Have you forgotten what Lu Yunqing did to marry into the Li family?"

The wedding of the Li family was a big deal. When

Su He mentioned it, everyone remembered it.

"I..."

"Be quiet!" Xiangmu's voice was clear. Lu Huaihe looked down and saw that Lu Zhili was blushing, but Su He looked calm.

His eyes fell on Su He's injured right hand, and he asked indifferently: "How did you get hurt?"

Su He was slightly surprised, lowered his eyes and replied: "I lost my grip in the kitchen."

Baili Jun frowned, it didn't seem important.

"Lord Lu, this is simply a trap set by Su He and Su Ronghai! They have colluded to deal with me!" Lu Zhili became a little anxious when he saw that Lu Huaihe was slow to make a decision.

"Who are you? Are you worthy of my father's handling? It is obviously you who makes people suspicious. A few days ago, you denied that you did not cheat, but now you change your words and drag my father into it? I don't know, was it your idea or the noble behind the scenes?"

Su He said anxiously, her eyes slightly red. After these words, Lu Zhili hurriedly explained: "Lu is Lu, I am alone, and I have never had any noble! Don't slander me!"

Su Ronghai saw that the time was ripe, and immediately jumped up to report: "Lord Lu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not know that the Second Prince met with Lu Zhili last night!"

Baili Jun raised his eyes slightly, and the tenderness in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Lu Huaihe asked in a deep voice, "Is there any witness?"

"The jailer is the witness. You will know once you ask him."

Lu Zhili stared at the floor, feeling panic in his heart. Baili Feng had clearly disguised himself last night, how could he be discovered? He glanced at Baili Jun with a guilty conscience, and seeing his stern expression, he knew that it was not so easy to get away.

"Detain him first."

Lu Huaihe ordered, "Take him away."

Hearing this, Baili Jun's expression eased a little.

If Baili Feng was really called in for a confrontation, the nature of the case would be different. He must not appear here, and the dignity of the royal family should not be damaged here.

Lu Zhili raised his head and cried out, "Lord Lu! I am really wronged, I was framed..."

Lu Huaihe slammed the table and stood up, his eyes cold: "Take him away."

Qingyun felt that his cry of injustice was a bit noisy, so he quickly stuffed his mouth and asked his subordinates to take him back to the prison.

Su Ronghai prostrated himself on the ground, wiped his eyes and tears flowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you Lord Lu for your insight!"

Su He also immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed devoutly.

Baili Jun stood up, his eyes fell on Su He, unable to distinguish his emotions, and turned his head to Lu Huaihe and said: "Lu Yuan, you are not iron-faced either."
