Chapter 58 Interrogation
Mrs. Han said seriously, "For the sake of justice, I will listen to Ning girl and let her decide."

Mother Qian was puzzled, but saw Mrs. Han shaking her head slightly.

Mrs. Han understood that if Chen Youning judged her innocence, and the evidence was not convincing enough, even if Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu wanted to be angry with Dingguo's mansion, they would not be justified in the end.This matter can be blurred in the past.

Han Youning didn't refuse, and accepted the job calmly.

The lady present could not help but sigh secretly.

After all, it was because she was too inexperienced. When she accepted this job, she took the hot potato into her own hands.

Han Youning picked up the basket on the ground and looked at it. The chrysanthemums inside were beautiful in shape, with plump and tender petals and a delicate fragrance. They were indeed delicious.

She suppressed the urge to pick up and eat a flower, put down the basket stiffly, and walked among the kneeling servants.

She walked very slowly, and everyone had to pause in front of everyone, making it difficult for people to understand what she was doing.

Finally, she walked up to the three witnesses and stood still, "Have you ever touched these chrysanthemums?"

The three of them shook their heads and said in unison, "No!"

Han Youning asked again, "Have you touched those two pots of chrysanthemums in the flower hall?"

The three replied again, "No!"

Han Youning didn't ask any more questions, and asked someone to set up a side room. She presided over the trial, and Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu listened.All the maids and women serving in the flower hall and garden went into the wing room one by one for questioning.

Mrs. Lu dutifully stared outside with a whip, preventing anyone from having a chance to confess.

Han Youning couldn't help laughing when she saw how she was ready for battle.In fact, there is no need, it doesn't matter if they collude.

The maidservants came in one after another.

There was a one hundred tael silver note on the table in front of Han Youning, and he only asked two questions, "Did you cut it, and did you see who cut it?"

Without exception, all the answers were negative.

And Han Youning was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and let them go out without hesitation, and then asked the next one.

Although Princess Chengjun had a good impression of Han Youning, she couldn't help shaking her head as she interrogated her softly and had no deterrent effect at all.

"Girl Chen, if you keep asking, you won't get any results. Although one hundred taels is a lot, compared to your wealth and life, no one would dare to take this money."

Han Youning smiled, "Princess Princess, wait patiently, there will always be someone who can tell the truth."

Mrs. Liu kept a dark face, and she didn't bother to argue with her. It's strange to find out who it is like this.

She had already made a plan in her heart and reported it to the government to investigate the case. Under severe punishment, there will always be those who cannot stand it.

The last person to enter the room was one of the witnesses, a maidservant in Tsing Yi named Song Zhi.

Han Youning asked the same question again, but the answer was still negative.

Han Youning didn't let her go out, but said, "It seems that Miss Qingzhi doesn't intend to plead guilty."

There was a moment of panic on Song Zhi's face, she tried to calm down and said, "Why did Miss Biao say that?"

Han Youning took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said in a low voice, "Of course someone has testified against you. A reward of one hundred taels of silver will always be irresistible to the temptation. Girl Songzhi, tell me, how did I offend you? You framed me?"

Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu, who were already drowsy, raised their heads in surprise. Did they miss something?

Why didn't they hear anyone testify?

Song Zhi leaned on the ground and said, "Miss Biao knows clearly, this servant dare not frame you. But I don't know who made up such words, this servant wants to confront her!"

Han Youning said, "Since I want to interrogate one by one, it is to make people tell the truth without any scruples. Telling you now, isn't it a betrayal of faith. Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu have heard it anyway, and I don't need to talk to you again. What will others prove?"

Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu who were mentioned as "already heard" were stunned. They really didn't hear anything!
The princess of Chengjun roughly guessed that Han Youning wanted to deceive Songzhi to confess, so she said with a serious face, "Yes, you have told the truth at this time, my concubine understands your difficulties, and can still be lenient. If you die and don't plead guilty, then It can only be handed over to the government for interrogation."

Han Youning glanced at Princess Chengjun approvingly.

Princess Chengjun smiled happily at her, am I very clever?
She suddenly remembered each other's identities, she immediately stopped her smile, and resumed her proud posture of looking at people with her nostrils.

Songzhi's eyes flickered when he heard "Government".But after all, she had been trained by the old lady's side for many years, and she was promoted to the second-class maid all the way, and her heart was stronger than ordinary maids.

She gritted her teeth tightly, "The servant is really wronged, I'm afraid someone is greedy for money and does something like that to frame people."

Han Youning got up and slowly walked up to her, "Ms. Songzhi is left-handed, right?"

Song Zhi was taken aback, it's not a secret that she is left-handed, but Miss Biao is new here, if no one specifically told her about this, they probably wouldn't know if one of her maids is left-handed.It seemed that someone had indeed tipped off.

She was flustered, but she couldn't deny such obvious things, she replied, "Miss Hui Biao, this servant is left-handed."

Han Youning chuckled, "You're considered smart, you didn't lie about this matter. In fact, it's useless for you to lie."

She reached out and took Pine Branch's hand, spread her palm, pointed to the thin callus on the palm of her left hand, and said, "You are used to doing things with your left hand, and your left hand is rougher than your right hand. You can't fake it. Just do things with others, There's always going to be some trace left, that's one thing."

Songzhi was surprised by Han Youning's meticulous thoughts, and said calmly, "What does Miss Biao say about chrysanthemums?"

Han Youning asked Ling'er to bring the two potted flowers in. She pointed to the cuts on the flower branches and said, "Holding scissors in the left hand and scissors in the right hand, the cuts are different in the direction of force and inclination. These cuts are very Clearly left-handed."

Mrs. Liu walked over quickly after hearing the words, and carefully observed the cuts of the two pots of chrysanthemums. It was indeed the scissors from the left.

She slapped the pine branch, "Bitch, you still have to deny it!"

Pine Branch fell to the ground, clutching her cheeks and quibbling, "Maybe Yu Niang cut it with her left hand on purpose to confuse the public?"

Han Youning didn't bother with her, and ordered Ling'er to go out and bring in a pot of chrysanthemums, and handed a pair of scissors to Song Zhi, "Use your right hand to finish cutting off this pot of chrysanthemums."

Song Zhi clumsily holds the scissors in her right hand. Even if she puts all her strength into her right hand, she still can't control the scissors flexibly, let alone cut off the tough chrysanthemum branches.

She was so busy that she was sweating profusely, and it took her a long time to cut all eight chrysanthemums.

The cuts of these chrysanthemum branches are blunt and messy, the tendons and bark are uneven, and some branches are almost torn off, which is not as neat as the two pots of chrysanthemum branches.

Han Youning shared the chrysanthemums with Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu.

When the two of them saw it, everything became clear.
