Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 524: A Little Trick, a Lifetime of Jail

"Your Highness is right." Ji Chuhe nodded in agreement, "Go check who sent the goods to the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion."

Soon, the delivery person found it.

When the delivery guy was brought to Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an, he didn't know what was going on.

After hearing what happened, he immediately begged for mercy.

"My Lord, Madam, I would never dare to tamper with the goods in the shop! Please be careful!"

"Where did you get the goods that you sent to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion?" Ji Chuhe asked again.

"Madam, it's also in the warehouse in our backyard that's used for stocking goods." The clerk just finished answering this question, as if he suddenly thought of something, "Madam, when I came to pick up the goods, all the goods were put together and placed outside the warehouse. At that time, the second young master was there too, and he reminded me that those were the goods from the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion. He also gave me the documents, and I double-checked them again. After confirming that all the goods were correct, I immediately delivered them to the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion."

"Someone, go and call the second young master over." Ji Chuhe ordered.

Xiao Jincheng didn't get any news either and was still wandering around the shop. He wanted to find some loopholes to see if there were any other ways to make money.

It’s really unbelievable that such a big shop, with so many goods coming in and out every day, can be kept so neatly organized.

If Shopkeeper Meng hadn't been familiar with the operation of the shop and found this way to make money, outsiders would have had no chance to get in.

The messenger finally found Xiao Jincheng and immediately came to him.

"Second Master, Madam invites you to come over."

When Xiao Jincheng heard that Ji Chuhe was looking for him, he was delighted, "Where is my sister-in-law? Take me there."

The waiter brought Xiao Jincheng to Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an.

When Xiao Jincheng saw Xiao Yan'an was there, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. He looked around and his mood sank.

Could it be that the truth has been revealed?

"Xiao Jincheng, let me ask you, how come you have the order form from the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion?" Xiao Yan'an asked directly.

Xiao Jincheng's heart suddenly tightened, but he was not without a solution. He replied calmly, "Shopkeeper Meng asked me to send it over."

Manager Meng and he were in the same boat. If he had pulled Manager Meng out at that time, Manager Meng would definitely have found a way to escape.

"Call Manager Meng over." Xiao Yan'an said immediately.

Soon, Shopkeeper Meng also arrived here.

"My Lord, Madam, what can I do for you?"

"Xiao Jincheng said that you gave him the order form for Wuyang Marquis' Mansion. Is that true?" Xiao Yan'an asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely not the case! Today, I have never seen the order form from the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion, nor have I met the Second Young Master." Shopkeeper Meng answered promptly.

"Shopkeeper Meng, please think about it carefully. Maybe you remembered it wrongly? It was clearly you who gave me the order form. How could you not admit it?" Xiao Jincheng looked at Shopkeeper Meng with a hint of threat in his eyes.

Manager Meng suddenly laughed, "Second Master, what do you mean? How could I remember something like this wrong? Besides, I have been with a few of my friends today, and they can testify for me."

"You!" Xiao Jincheng was furious.

"Xiao Jincheng!" Xiao Yan'an slammed the table angrily, "I'll give you one more chance. How did you get that order form?"

"Brother! You have to believe me, it was really Manager Meng who gave it to me! I know it! He wanted to frame me just because I discovered his secret!" Xiao Jincheng immediately bit back.

"Second Young Master, what secret of mine have you discovered?" Shopkeeper Meng was confused and looked at Xiao Jincheng in bewilderment.

"Brother, Shopkeeper Meng secretly hid the order form, and then bought some inferior goods of the same kind outside to replace the goods in the shop for personal gain! After I found out, he burst into tears and said that he knew he was wrong and promised to never do it again. I was soft-hearted and did not make his actions public. I didn't expect that he would use such a shady trick to frame me!"

Xiao Jincheng testified against Manager Meng with certainty.

"Prince, Madam, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. I am willing to accept the investigation." Shopkeeper Meng did not look panicked at all.

"The wife of Marquis Wuyang was poisoned after eating the preserved fruits that were sent to us. This is a very serious matter. Marquis Wuyang has already reported it to the police. The matter will be investigated by the government office. The prince and I will cooperate with the government office in handling the case. Those involved in the case need to be handed over to the government office." Ji Chuhe's voice suddenly rang out.

Xiao Jincheng was startled.

"My lord, someone can prove that Manager Meng did not have any contact with Xiao Jincheng today. The order documents for the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion were naturally not given to Xiao Jincheng by Manager Meng. Therefore, the only person involved in this case is Xiao Jincheng. Send him to the government office for investigation first." Ji Chuhe spoke again.

Xiao Jincheng immediately looked at Xiao Yan'an.

Xiao Yan'an just nodded.

"Brother, would you rather trust an outsider than your own brother? It was Manager Meng who framed me! I also know who his supplier is!" Xiao Jincheng said anxiously.

"Save these words for when you go to the government office and talk to Lord Jin."

As soon as Xiao Yan'an finished speaking, someone from the government office came in and held Xiao Jincheng down.

"Brother, have you forgotten that you promised the emperor to take good care of me? I was framed like this, and you don't care about my life or death. Aren't you afraid that if this matter gets out, people will say you are cold-blooded and heartless?"

"Don't worry, Lord Jin is very capable in handling cases. If you are really innocent, he will definitely get to the bottom of it." Xiao Yan'an comforted softly.

Xiao Jincheng wanted to resist, but was held down and dragged out by the people from the government office.

The room suddenly became quiet.

"Prince, Madam, I will take my leave first." Shopkeeper Meng bowed and walked out.

Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an looked at each other.

"Madam, Manager Meng has arranged everything. As long as Lord Jin investigates, all the evidence will be found. Xiao Jincheng will be unable to defend himself and the charges will be proven. However, the charges are too minor. At most, he will be sentenced to two years in prison."

"Two years is not a short time. If we plot against Xiao Jincheng, it will definitely anger the emperor, and he will definitely not let it go. I suspect that something will happen during the days when the prince hired the pleasure boat. It is definitely not a coincidence that the pleasure boat suddenly broke down and needed to be repaired."

"Don't worry, ma'am. I know what I'm doing."

……

The news of Xiao Jincheng's arrest reached the palace.

The emperor was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it!

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Chao Sihai immediately knelt down.

"This idiot, I knew he was useless!"

"Your Majesty, I have made inquiries and have found evidence. No matter how much Xiao Jincheng protests his injustice and blames others, it will be useless. This case will be settled soon."
