Chapter 57 Witnesses
The meaning in the words, none of the people present are stupid, and they all understand it when they hear it.

This is an allusion that the marks were probably forged by Zhao Yanran who had already memorized the patterns.

At the same time, she said that she had forgotten the fancy pattern a long time ago, which meant that she hadn't taken out the silk and satin recently, and the portrait was replaced within two days of the day before yesterday and yesterday.

After she said this, she paused for a while, then frowned and said: "Although I was in the mountains and fields, I have heard that Jiangzhou's weaving skills are superb, and the bleaching and dyeing skills are also excellent, but I didn't expect that my father spent a lot of money to buy it. The satin has faded so badly."

Zhao Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't pay much attention to women's clothing and fabrics, this time he just heard that rich ladies like to wear Jiangzhou's textiles, so he bought some back.

He has never considered the problem of fading.

Now after what Zhao Yuanxiang said, he just realized that the silk and satin he bought at a huge price came from Jiangzhou, which everyone praised so much, how could it be possible to fade so badly?
Involuntarily, his expression became a little more suspicious, and he looked at Zhao Yanran.

Zhao Yanran was also taken aback by Zhao Yuanxiang's words. Seeing Zhao Cheng looking at her, she immediately corrected her expression: "Maybe there is something wrong with this piece of material during the production process? Well, since the second sister thinks this evidence If it’s not enough, then I’ll continue.”

She said, turning her head to look at the servant girl behind: "Mingyue, go and bring me here."

After a while, an old man with gray beard and hair followed Mingyue in respectfully, and knelt down to salute Zhao Cheng as soon as he entered the door.

Zhao Cheng told him to get up and looked at Zhao Yanran.

Zhao Yanran said in a soft voice: "Second sister, are you still unwilling to confess your crime after seeing this old gentleman?"

Zhao Yuanxiang looked at this stranger she had never met before, shook his head and said, "I've never seen him before, what exactly is Third Sister going to say?"

Zhao Yanran couldn't bear it, sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Second sister, this old gentleman, isn't he the one you invited to copy this fake Guanyin statue? It's only a day later, and you want to Pretending not to know?"

The corner of Zhao Yuanxiang's mouth curled into a smile, but he didn't speak.

She also wanted to see what tricks the mother and daughter had to frame her.

But her silence made her feel guilty in Zhao Cheng's eyes.Zhao Cheng coughed and said, "Yuan Xiang, this is a trivial matter, as long as you admit your mistake—"

"Father, why don't you ask for clarification first?" Zhao Yuanxiang looked at the old man and asked, "This old man, I don't know what the person who asked you to copy the statue of Guanyin looks like?"

The old man frowned and looked at her for a while, and said, "It's you, Second Miss, even the hairpin on your head is exactly the same!"

He smiled coldly: "Second Miss, did you hear that? It's better to admit your mistake earlier, and this matter will be over, so as not to make outsiders laugh!"

Zhao Yuanxiang looked at Zhao Cheng, with a faint smile: "Father, don't you think there is something wrong with what this old gentleman said?"

Zhao Cheng was slightly stunned, his mind was all on persuading Zhao Yuanxiang to admit his mistake, so he didn't really pay attention to what the old man said.

Zhao Yuanxiang said: "The old man recognized me because he said that the hairpin on my head was exactly the same as what he saw, but he didn't say that the person he saw had the same appearance as me."

She looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, why is this?"
