The surroundings were completely silent.
Shen Tangning glanced at Chi Jingyu abruptly. She hadn't missed the fleeting look of disgust in his eyes just now. She raised an eyebrow and handed him the letter in her hand:
"Your Highness is learned and talented. You should be able to tell the difference between old and new ink marks, right? I beg Your Highness to help me distinguish them and clear my name."
Chi Yan couldn't help but feel regretful, realizing that he had ultimately suffered from a lack of culture!
Chi Jingyu hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.
The obscene contents on the letter made him frown uncomfortably. He calmed himself, carefully examined the letter, and nodded.
"The new ink is gray rather than black, and its texture is not as hard as that of old ink. This ink mark is indeed new and no more than a month old."
He rubbed the ink stains on his fingertips and said this.
Chi Jingyu couldn't help but glance at Shen Tangning. So, it's possible that she really was wronged.
Shen Chang frowned and stared at Shen Tangning: "Even so, you can't completely clear your name. The ink marks are new, so they could have been written recently. The paper has no fragrance, so it's very likely that you didn't have time to write it."
Since the letter was never actually sent, there's no need to be too particular about it.
Shen Ci raised an eyebrow, and the veins on his forehead throbbed: "Even now, Father still doesn't believe my sister? Since you've already condemned her in your heart, what more is there to say!"
Shen Chang said sternly, "Nonsense! I am just stating the facts! If your sister is not completely cleared of suspicion, this matter will ruin her own reputation and the face of my entire Shen family!"
Shen Tangning sneered inwardly, thinking that he was probably the one who was ruining his own career!
Seeing that Shen Ci was about to speak up for her, she spoke up in time: "Father, don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Everyone looked over. Shen Tangning took the letter from Chi Jingyu's hand and examined it slowly, a slight smile playing on her lips: "This person imitated my handwriting so well that it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. If I didn't know that I had never written anything like this, I would probably have been fooled."
She suddenly changed the subject, "But even the most meticulous plans can have flaws; she overlooked a detail."
Chi Yan asked curiously, "What details?"
He was probably the most composed of them all; his newlywed wife was suspected of having an affair, and he was actually watching the spectacle with amusement.
Shen Tangning glanced at him, a smile appearing in her eyes: "Husband, you don't know, when I was young, I was playful when learning characters and could never distinguish between the characters '准' and '淮'. I always wrote '准' instead of '淮'. Even after I was able to distinguish them, I couldn't break this habit. My mother used to laugh at me."
Aunt Fang and Shen Xiwei's expressions changed slightly.
Madam Shen's heart stirred, and she smiled and playfully scolded her: "That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince even used it to tease you. Why don't you call him Cousin A-Zhun?"
Shen Tangning handed the stack of letters to Chi Yan: "Husband, please take a look."
In her previous letters, she always addressed him as "Cousin A-Zhun," but in that particular letter, she wrote "Cousin A-Huai" in a proper and formal manner.
Chi Yan chuckled: "That's interesting."
He raised an eyebrow at Shen Chang. "This man probably doesn't know my wife's unique little quirk. He can't even imitate her properly. Father-in-law, are you satisfied now?"
Shen Chang frowned in thought, seeing that Shen Tangning looked calm and showed no sign of guilt.
On the other hand, the Fang mother and daughter looked slightly unnatural. He quickly understood what was going on, and his eyes changed several times. How could he not understand?
He was both shocked and angry, but his expression softened, and he said with a guilty look, "If that's the case, Tang Ning, I've misunderstood you."
