As soon as Gu Qingyuan came to court, Mrs. Chen pointed at her and yelled: "Unfilial daughter! You, an unfilial daughter, dare to trick your mother-in-law like this. Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Snapped!"

The capital order took a picture of the gavel and angrily shouted: "Ms. Chen! This is the court. If you dare to continue to roar in the court, be careful to punish you!"

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately started crying while holding the handkerchief: "Sir! I... I just feel uncomfortable. I didn't expect that I would be framed by my own daughter-in-law after living for so long!"

Gu Qingyuan saw this and frowned subconsciously.

I have to say that Chen's acting skills are really amazing. Why should she be the wife of a princess if she has such good acting skills? If you join a theater troupe, you will definitely become a famous actor!

When the capital commander saw Gu Qingyuan coming, he ordered his subordinates: "Come, show the prince's wife her seat."

As he said this, an official came up carrying a chair.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qingyuan understood. No wonder Chen had a chair to sit on, presumably because he was a member of an official family.

After thanking the capital for the order, Gu Qingyuan sat on the chair.

But when Mrs. Chen saw this, she immediately became unhappy. She pointed at the chair where Gu Qingyuan was sitting and said seriously: "Sir, what do you mean by this? Does a person like her who deceived me deserve to sit on the chair?"

"Mrs. Duke, this is the treatment given by the imperial court to the family members of officials. If you are not convinced, you can tell the imperial court. If you are not satisfied with this law, go to the official family over there. You can't talk to the lower officials!" the capital order said. After saying these words, he turned his gaze to Gu Qingyuan and said seriously: "Madam Prince, the Duke's wife accused you of entangled with the West Street shopkeeper and intended to extort property from her. Is it true or false at this time?"

"Of course it's a lie!" Gu Qingyuan stood up, saluted the capital order, and said seriously: "Sir, since I got married, the shop on West Street has been left to my mother-in-law to take care of because of my health. Now I I was in good health, so I thought about taking the shop back. After checking the accounts, I found that the West Street shopkeepers had enriched their own pockets, so I ordered them to hand over all the debts they owed within three days, otherwise they would report it to the government. That's it, sir! "

At this time, shopkeeper Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, also spoke: "Sir, that's exactly what happened! If it hadn't been for the urging of the Crown Prince's wife, the ordinary people would not have gone to the Crown Prince's wife. In these years, all the debts have gone to the Crown Prince. The pockets of the Duke and Madam, we little shopkeepers are nothing more than the tools of the Duke of Madam. Now that something happened, we naturally want the Duke of Madam to come out and settle the matter, but who knew that the old lady would turn her back and refuse to acknowledge her!"

"Yup!"

The other shopkeepers all agreed after Shopkeeper Qian finished speaking.

Gu Qingyuan, who had known the flow of the money for a long time, looked at shopkeeper Qian in shock when he heard this: "You...you mean that all the losses in my shop are because they went into my mother-in-law's pocket! "

Shopkeeper Qian sighed, then kowtowed to Gu Qingyuan and said, "Mrs. Crown Prince, you are wise! We are just small shopkeepers, we really didn't take any of your money!"

Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath and said coldly: "That's your business and has nothing to do with me. I just want the results!"

After saying these words, Gu Qingyuan knelt down in front of the capital city and said seriously: "Sir! I beg you for your understanding! Those shops are all dowries given by my mother's family. It's impossible for me to build them in without getting anything these years." Silver, please let these shopkeepers return their money in court!"

After saying these words, she kowtowed directly to the capital order.

Chen looked at Gu Qingyuan's look and felt so angry!
  If this was in the Duke's Mansion, she would definitely ask her servants to lock up Gu Qingyuan. After all, if she didn't lock him up, it would be too easy for problems to arise. But now, it was too late. No matter how much she hated Gu Qingyuan, she could not take him away in court.

In desperation, she had to find another way and followed Gu Qingyuan's example and knelt in front of the Capital Order: "Sir! Those shopkeepers are slandering me! If they think that I got the money, then bring out evidence! If there is no evidence, that is Slander! These people colluded with Gu Qingyuan to slander me, it is too much!"

From the moment she went to court, she hesitated every time the Capital Order mentioned evidence. She was sure that these shopkeepers had no evidence at all!
  As for the bill flow over the years, she had already bribed people in the shop to change it. Even if the capital order really went to check, nothing would be found.

When Chen thought of this, he became more confident.

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he frowned subconsciously: "What my mother-in-law said is so unreasonable! Why should I slander you? After all, you are my husband's mother, what good does it do me to slander you?"

"Benefits?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen's mouth: "The benefits are huge! I am not satisfied with you to begin with. You slander me just to find out my faults and then take advantage of me!"

Hearing this, the capital magistrate looked at Gu Qingyuan and asked, "Madam Prince, is this true?"

"Of course it's not true!" Gu Qingyuan looked at the Capital Order and said seriously: "When I checked the accounts that day, Prime Minister Pei was also there. If you don't believe it, you can ask Prime Minister Pei to find out whether it is true or not!"

The originally calm Ling Cheng couldn't sit still when he heard that there was something about Prime Minister Pei in this. "Why...why is there something about Prime Minister Pei in this? Madam Prince, please don't talk nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, please be clear! I definitely didn't mean to deceive you!" Gu Qingyuan said, and kowtowed to the capital order again.

The Ling of Jingcheng saw this and sighed, "Mrs. Crown Prince, you...you don't have to be like this!"

"What's wrong with Prime Minister Pei? I think you did it on purpose! You want Prime Minister Pei to delay you so that you can make perjury!" After Chen said this, he looked at Gu Qingyuan and said, He paused and said, "I know you have a relationship with Prime Minister Pei, but if you want to use Prime Minister Pei to give you perjury, I advise you not to even think about it!"

Jingcheng Ling, who was originally sitting in the high hall, frowned subconsciously when he heard this.

He looked at Gu Qingyuan and asked, "Madam Prince, do you really have a relationship with Prime Minister Pei?"

Gu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Sir, does this matter have something to do with this case?"

"This..." The capital commander choked at Gu Qingyuan's words, and then said with a slightly flattering smile: "Of course there is no such thing, I just asked."

When Chen saw the look of the Capital Order, she suddenly thought that Prime Minister Pei was a role model for civil and military officials. When she said that Gu Qingyuan was related to Prime Minister Pei, wasn't she telling the Capital Order that Gu Qingyuan could not move!

After realizing this, Chen's intestines were filled with regret.

Gu Qingyuan glanced at the pale-faced Chen and muttered in her heart: What a fool! I really don’t know how I fell into the hands of this woman back then.
