Ms. Liu snorted coldly: "The things were found in her house. This is the best evidence! As for the witness, she secretly took it away in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep. Who can see it?"
Chu Qingwan calmly said: "So, apart from the stolen goods, there is no other evidence to prove that Granny Song committed the theft, right?"
Ms. Liu always felt that she shouldn't accept these words, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no difference, so she nodded.
Chu Qingwan said: "Then how did Mrs. Chu determine that it was Granny Song? How could she know that someone else had taken it and hid it in her room to frame her?"
Mrs. Liu retorted: "She has only been here for two days and has been in the east courtyard all day. How many people recognize her? Who would bother to frame a mere woman?"
"You have to ask the framer." Chu Qingwan glanced at Chu Qingyue meaningfully, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
Chu Qingyue's heart tightened and she looked away.
Chu Qingwan said amusingly: "When the incident happened in the east courtyard, Mrs. Chu didn't find out the cause and effect, gave the old man an explanation, and rushed to punish Granny Song. What's the truth?"
"If you don't know, I think you have a guilty conscience and are anxious to deal with innocent people."
Mrs. Liu's expression changed slightly: "I act according to the rules, don't talk nonsense!"
"Rules?" Chu Qingwan raised her eyebrows, "According to the rules of the Chu family, you are to punish people indiscriminately? Mrs. Chu is so majestic!"
Ms. Liu was left speechless by her question and said angrily: "You have a sharp tongue!"
Chu Qingwan praised it: "It's easy to talk about. This matter concerns the East Courtyard and cannot be careless. I shouldn't have interfered with how Mrs. Chu will cook it."
"But I sent her here. I asked her to take good care of grandpa. If this matter is confirmed, it will be a small thing for grandpa to be disappointed in me, but it will be a big problem for him to be angry."
"Therefore, I think it is better to make a decision after getting to the bottom of it, so as not to make it difficult for grandpa to reply when asked, and hasty results will not be beneficial to Mrs. Chu's future stewardship. Mrs. Chu, what do you think?"
Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth secretly.
The dead girl moved the old man out with her bright tongue, and hinted in subtle ways that she would not be able to convince the public unless she took care of it. What else could she say?
Mrs. Liu looked at Chu Qingyue calmly, and the latter shook his head at her in a subtle way, indicating that everything was fine.
Ms. Liu felt relieved and said angrily: "You just said this without taking a breath. You just think that I have wronged this woman. Then I will give you a chance to prove it."
"But I'm going to tell you the ugly story first. If you can't prove her innocence, you will still have to bear the consequences if you are not strict with her!"
They arranged it well, I don't believe Chu Qingwan can find out anything.
When the time comes, she will be dealt with as well. Even if the old man favors her, he won't be able to say anything.
This is what Chu Qingwan wanted, but he didn't rush to act: "Okay, I agree. But having said that, if Granny Song is innocent, Madam Chu, how will you treat her?"
Mrs. Liu, who was thinking about getting things done, felt a little carried away. When she heard this, she actually said: "If I have wronged her, I should apologize."
Chu Qingwan chuckled: "Okay, this is what you said."
After saying that, she turned to look at the servant who had found the items, and asked: "Has anyone touched the stolen items from the moment they were discovered?"
The servant replied: "No."
It was the old lady's delicate property. No one dared to touch it without the master's instructions.
Chu Qingwan nodded: "Very good, now go get those things, along with the old cloth you mentioned to wrap them."
The servant turned around and was about to go, but Chu Qingwan stopped him and warned him: "Remember, don't touch the objects in the cloth directly with your hands. Wei Zhan, you go with him and remember my instructions."
Although Wei Zhan didn't know what she was doing, he still accepted the order and went with the servant.
