Ah, it only makes their family look like villains.
Shen Tangning's gaze turned cold, but she wasn't particularly surprised.
Fang's level is several levels higher than Shen Xiwei's. It would be strange if she were so easily defeated.
Seeing Madam Shen staring at the auspicious knot with hesitation, Shen Tangning turned to look at Yingluo on the ground and slowly walked up to her: "Yingluo, you tell me. I have always treated you well, why did you frame me and ruin my reputation?"
This concerns the Crown Prince's reputation. Don't you know that the slightest misstep could lead to the execution of nine generations of his family?
Her expression was calm and gentle, and her tone was also unperturbed, just like any other day.
Yingluo, however, was pale, and her eyes revealed an indescribable terror.
After all, only she knew that the letter was written by the young lady herself, which she watched!
Even if she was stupid at this moment, she realized that Shen Tangning did it on purpose!
She knew of her betrayal all along, deliberately luring her to discover the letter, leaving Granny Qin behind under the pretext of tidying up something, coldly watching her inform Han Dan Courtyard but holding back, until today when the matter was exposed and she began to gradually close the net.
Every move was under her control!
Coming to her senses, Yingluo was instantly drenched in cold sweat, her face ashen.
She knew that no one would believe her if she insisted on being with Shen Tangning, and she was even more afraid that the Crown Prince's investigation would implicate her family. Tears streaming down her face, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Miss, I was bewitched! I was wrong! Please forgive me, Miss!"
Shen Tangning watched coldly, her heart unmoved.
The talk of implicating nine generations of relatives was just something she said to scare the girl. It's not worth getting her cousin, the Crown Prince, involved in such a trivial matter.
"You've been bewitched. I trusted you so much, yet you turned my trust into a sword aimed at me."
She sighed softly, "I truly feel sorry for you. You've done such a treacherous thing. If I can't tolerate you, do you think the people behind you can?"
Yingluo's back stiffened involuntarily.
Granny Qin threw a small cloth bag on the ground, and several pieces of jewelry fell out of it.
With the jade earrings rolling beside her, Yingluo knew that she was truly doomed.
Granny Qin stepped forward, her face stern: "Master and Madam, these jewels were found in this lowly maid's room! Even if she saved for a year, a second-class maid couldn't afford such expensive jewelry!"
Madam Shen glanced at it, and her face instantly darkened.
Aunt Fang's expression changed, and then Madam Shen's icy question came: "Why do I remember Aunt Fang wearing this ruby phoenix hairpin?"
Shen Chang's gaze toward Aunt Fang now held a hint of anger.
Madam Fang was startled. Her husband favored her and was never stingy with her in private. She had many pieces of jewelry, and she herself couldn't even remember if she was missing a hairpin. She never expected that Madam Shen would remember it so clearly!
Bribing servants, especially those in the young lady's courtyard, is not so easy if you don't spend generously.
Aunt Fang looked shocked and stammered, "This...isn't this what I lost a few days ago? How did it end up here?" She looked up with disappointment, "Miss Yingluo, I never thought you were such a dishonest person!"
Yingluo suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with disbelief and hatred: "Aunt Fang, you..."
