As if he had noticed Su Jinruo's gaze, he raised his eyes to look over, only to see that Su Jinruo was smiling coldly with her lips. He unconsciously panicked, and lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Su Jinruo's eyes.

Su Jinruo's calm eyes lightly blinked, and he said: "Fifth Miss is wrong, the matter of me disregarding Lin Qingqing a year ago was not a misunderstanding, but a – a carefully planned crime!"

The moment he said that, the atmosphere suddenly changed. In an instant, it froze into ice, diverting everyone's attention.

Murder?

How could it be a blame?

Moreover, who was the culprit behind this?

Noble Consort Xiang frowned slightly as he thought about it. He focused his gaze, and the person kneeling on the ground accused Su Jinruo of bullying the monarch, but he had forgotten about the past records of Su Jinruo …

He seemed to have found an opportunity to redeem his innocence in front of someone with the highest status.

The corner of Shen Hancheng's mouth hooked into a casual smile, a deep meaning surfaced in his pitch-black eyes. "City Lord Su, why don't you tell me what kind of disaster that is, and who did it, and why?"

Shen Hancheng's words gave him an opportunity to explain.

Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng from far away, her gaze was complicated, and then she said: "One year ago, the direct son of the General's house did not live a good life, naturally, the laws of the country, the family rules, this is what the humble subject got, it was the humble servant who failed to live up to father's teachings, thus he was willing to be punished and slept in the woodshed."

"If this humble subject remembers correctly, a year ago, on the birthday of the Prime Minister Su, there was a banquet held to celebrate that day. On that day, Miss Lin Qingqing also accompanied the Grand Commandant's daughter, Lin Lanxin, to the Prime Minister's Estate."

"Because of his father's birthday, the eldest son of the Residence, Su Chi, drank a few more cups. The smell of alcohol assaulted his brain and with the excuse that his body was not feeling well, he returned to his room to rest. "For some reason, Lin Qingqing had been left alone by Lin Lan Xin. She wasn't familiar with the layout of the residence, so she ended up wandering around randomly. Unknowingly, she had arrived at the Su Family's son's courtyard."

"Su Chi was drunk, but at that time, it was night and there was only one light in the courtyard, so it was hard to tell what the person looked like. When he saw Lin Qingqing who had barged in, he thought that she was his, so he grabbed her.

"Nonsense!" Su Jinruo's words were suddenly answered by Su Chi, "Does City Lord Su have any evidence to back up his words? If not, City Lord Su is framing me right now, and I have the authority to sue a random official of the shoddy imperial government! "

Shen Hancheng faintly glanced at the flushed Su Chi. "Did this king allow you to speak?"

did not dare to talk back to Shen Hancheng, so he endured the uneasiness and cupped his hands towards her: "This official is lacking in manners, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Shen Hancheng's eyes met with Su Jinruo's in the air, and both of their gazes were dark and hard to understand. Shen Hancheng said: "Continue."

Su Jinruo nodded his head, then continued: The two of them have the truth of being husband and wife, and when Su Chi gradually regained consciousness, he saw Lin Qing Qing lying beside him, and panicked for a moment, and then, he thought about the punishment he had received that day.

However, he did not expect that not long after he took off his outer garment, and before he had even undressed, that Miss Lin Qingqing would wake up. At that time, he was at a loss and could only run to the side to hide, and only when he saw Lady Lin Qingqing running out of his courtyard crying, did he finally heave a sigh of relief, and so … "Then there will be other matters."

"This story isn't bad. It has a beginning and an end, a beginning and a end." Noble Consort Xiang smiled and locked his gaze on Su Jinruo's body.

"But this is just one side of the story told by the City Lord Su. It is as he said, to demand for evidence in everything, but I don't know what the City Lord Su is saying now … "Where is the evidence?"

Su Ranle said in a cold voice, "Even if City Lord Su has misunderstood you as a woman a year ago, you shouldn't slander others like that right?"

Ignoring Su Ranle's mockery, Su Jinruo looked at Old Emperor and said indifferently: "Reporting to the emperor, esteemed empress, Noble Consort Xiang's words, they are not one-sided. This humble subject has proof, evidence, and everything else can prove this humble subject's innocence."

Shen Hancheng's hand gently knocked on the armrest. The Old Emperor glanced at Su Jinruo faintly, and said slowly:

"Pass."

A moment later, a eunuch carried a tray with the evidence that Su Jinruo had told him about.

There was also a person wearing plain clothes.

Su Jinruo looked at them. When she made the deal with Su Ranxiao back then, what she said was suddenly heard in her mind.

"One year ago, on the day of father's birthday, you accidentally broke a ceramic bowl filled with pastries. Second Aunt immediately rushed you to the woodshed. This could only prove that the third brother had an alibi. If the third brother wanted to prove that the eldest brother was the culprit behind everything, then … "Third brother must examine the evidence in Xiao'er's hands."

"This piece of evidence …"

"Just like what third brother saw, this is what eldest brother recorded down. Xiao'er looked at the events that happened that day. The book that was purposely hidden was filled with bits and pieces of eldest brother's life. Thus, Xiao'er was able to unintentionally help third brother restore that inexplicable adultery case. "

Su Jinruo withdrew his gaze and explained to the Old Emperor: "This person is called Su Pu. A year ago, he was a servant of the Prime Minister's Residence and was also the only witness for this humble subject's closed door contemplation."

Su Chi looked at Su Pu, and instantly, the alarm in his eyes sounded out. Impossible, how could this be?

When everything was settled, he was chased out of the house by his mother (Second Aunt) for neglecting her duty. It had been a year, and the place was filled with people, so how did Su Jinruo find him?

What Su Chi did not know was that Su Jinruo had an organization that specialized in gathering intelligence, and what he did not know was that half a year later, his fourth sister, Su Ranxiao, had begun searching for this person, and not long ago, she had finally been found by Su Jinruo.

Su Jinruo continued to explain, "This object is something this humble subject has unintentionally obtained. The contents of the treasure are related to the adultery incident one year ago, and … "The matter is detailed, and the details are very detailed. Please take a look, your majesty."

Old Emperor looked at Su Pu who was kneeling on the ground quietly, raised his hand slightly, and said: "Hand over the proof."

The young eunuch passed the tray to Eunuch Fu, and Eunuch Fu carefully handed it over to Old Emperor.

Old Emperor picked up the paper that was obviously torn off and looked at it.

For a time, the main hall was silent as late night.

After a while, Old Emperor raised his eyes from the paper. He looked at Su Chi with a profound look, but said to Su Jinruo: "Why should Su Aiqing make us believe that the records in these words are true?"

Su Jinruo said: "The xuan paper has turned yellow, and at least a year has passed since its inception, and the handwriting on the Xuan paper is almost identical to that of Vice Envoy Jiang Zuo. And this Xuan paper is a special item for the eldest son of the Prime Minister of the palace.

Su Chi stared at the Xuan paper in Old Emperor's hands. Originally, it was because she was talented that she was a concubine, with a low status. In order to make her heart more balanced, she ate like a son.

As for the Four Treasures in the study, they had sent people to customize them. If the Old Emperor sent someone to investigate, the truth from one year ago would be real …

Old Emperor seemed to be enraged. His sharp gaze swept towards Su Pu who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, and said: "You, can you prove that Su Aiqing did not commit any crimes that day?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Super. Super was covered in cold sweat. His voice trembled.

"In reply to your majesty, that day Third Young Master was sentenced to close up and meditate. He was a commoner guarding a door, and that door was locked. Third Young Master is unable to come out on his own, only afterwards …" "For some reason, this commoner fell asleep. When this commoner woke up, Third Young Master was already gone …"

A man locked in a woodshed. How could he come out himself just to sully a girl's innocence?!

"Vice Ambassador Jiang Zuo," Old Emperor suddenly said, causing Su Chi's legs to go soft. He frantically walked to Su Jinruo's side and knelt down.

"Your Majesty …"

The Old Emperor glanced at the pale Su Chi, Duke Fu passed the evidence in his hand over to Su Chi, then said: "Regarding Su Ai Qing's witness and evidence, does Vice-Envoy Jiang Zuo have anything to say?"

When Su Chi took the few pieces of Xuan paper, his pupils suddenly shrank. He had a habit of recording every detail of his life.

Although Lin Qing Qing Qing mistakenly thought that Su Jinruo had done something bad to her that day, he still panicked. Once this matter was recorded down, he calmed down a little.

Available...

But after travelling with the crown prince, he did not even know where he kept the diary that recorded his life. Su Jinruo did not even have the chance to enter his courtyard, how did he find it?

He suddenly questioned, was the former Su Jinruo hiding his abilities?

"Hmm?" Seeing Su Chi not replying for a long time, the Old Emperor let out a light hee and Su Chi almost collapsed.

"This humble subject... "This humble subject …" His face was extremely ugly and pale. What should he say?

Say something...

He said that the handwriting was made by someone else, but since the Xuan paper was his and there was a time limit, was it useful for him to say so?

Furthermore, the contents on the xuan paper were so detailed …

Just by casually checking, most of the Old Emperor were pretty much correct.

He … No place to run...

Su Jinruo said in a soft voice, "Vice Envoy Jiang Zuo, let's apologize."

A faint fragrance floated in Shen Hancheng's eyes as the corner of his mouth curled. Looking at Su Jinruo's calm and handsome face, he found her more and more pleasing to the eye.

Su Chi resisted the urge to step forward and strangle Su Jinruo to death. Lowering his head, he heavily closed his eyes, "To return to Emperor, this matter, is indeed … It was written by this humble subject, this humble subject has nothing to say. "

Everyone's expression was one of shock as they sucked in a mouthful of cold air.

How could the truth from a year ago be like this?!
