Chapter 246 Zhu Mian
Ji Yuntang's eyes turned cold and he looked straight at Widow Yang who was lowering her head beside him.
"Widow Yang, would you like to explain to this princess and Miss Pei what is going on?"
Widow Yang trembled and said tremblingly: "I... I don't know..."
She had no idea that this set of skin care products was stolen and given to her by that person.
If she knew that this thing came from an unknown source, even if she was given a hundred courage, she would not dare to bring this set of skin care products to Wanzhuang Building to cause trouble.
Furthermore, Widow Yang had not expected that there were purchase records of Wanzhuanglou’s products.
She never expected that these products looked exactly the same in appearance, but Pei Zhiyi could recognize them at a glance.
Ji Yuntang sneered, "Since you don't want to talk, let the government come. When the time comes, you will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison for the crimes of stealing from the general's mansion, provoking trouble, and framing the royal family!"
She said this calmly, but everyone present knew that she was not bluffing.
But if this case is investigated, Widow Yang will really have to go to jail and suffer physical pain.
Qin Lizheng frowned, his weathered face full of anger, and he said with a look of disappointment:
"You are still unwilling to tell the truth to Princess Ye. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life in prison?"
"Your two daughters are still so young. If you go in, have you ever thought about what they will do?"
Widow Yang had a tense face and bit her lips, hesitating.
Ji Yuntang opened his lips slightly, "Don't be afraid, just tell the truth, no one here can hurt you."
"Did you do it yourself, or was someone instructing you to do it? Tell me and I will report it to the authorities as appropriate."
Widow Yang suddenly looked up at her, her eyes bloodshot.
"If you don't report it to the police, I will tell you. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a single word out of me."
Ji Yuntang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he no longer treated her kindly.
"You are still stubborn and stubborn. The matter has become a big deal. So many people are watching. Do you think you can still hide it?"
Pei Zhiyi said coldly: "Even if Princess Ye doesn't report it to the authorities, we at General Dingyuan's Mansion will investigate it to the end."
"You actually dared to sneak into our Dingyuan General's Mansion and steal things, then you must be prepared to lose a layer of skin."
Widow Yang was so frightened that her face turned pale.
She knew the reputation of Dingyuan's general belly.
But she never thought that one day she would offend such a powerful person.
If the people from General Dingyuan's Mansion really start investigating, will she still be alive?
The answer is definitely no.
Widow Yang was afraid of death and she knew very well that if she spoke out, she might just lose face, but if she didn't, she might lose her life.
Compared to losing your life, losing face is nothing.
After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to say, "Speak, I will tell you everything. I will tell you everything I know. Please don't report me to the police."
"I was originally a villager from the neighboring Guihua Village. Because my husband died a few years ago, I raised two daughters alone."
"It's not easy for me to raise two children by myself, so I thought about finding an honest man to marry. Having a hardworking man at home can barely support the three of us."
"But I'm a widow, and my family is not well off. It's harder than climbing to the sky to find a man in Guihua Village."
Pei Zhiyi listened for a long time but didn't get the point. Instead, she saw Widow Yang wiping her tears. She said impatiently: "Can you tell me the point?!"
"What does this have to do with you stealing from the General's Mansion and framing Wanzhuanglou?"
Widow Yang swallowed her saliva and said slowly: "The story started half a month ago."
"I remember it was one night. When I was coming back from the village, I unexpectedly found a man on the roadside. He was drunk and fell to the ground, unconscious."
"I saw that he was well dressed and looked good, so I felt pity for him and took him back to my home."
"I took care of him all night, fed him, changed his clothes, and did everything myself. When he woke up the next day, he found out that I had saved him and was very grateful to me."
"He told me that he had been an orphan since he was a child and had been living with his uncle. But a few days ago, he was framed by a villain and accused of stealing money from the treasury. His uncle cut off all ties with him and kicked him out. He had nowhere to go, so he drank all the way and walked to Guihua Village."
"He had no place to live, so he begged me to take him in. He could help me with work and anything. I thought there was no man in my family, so I softened my heart and agreed."
"Then he told me some things about his life at his uncle's house. He said his uncle's family was well off, running a cloth shop in the capital. His uncle was infertile and had no children, so he was the only one who could inherit his uncle's family business in the future."
"He also said that if he had the chance to return to his uncle's house in the future, he would definitely marry me and let me go with him to the capital to enjoy wealth and glory, and no longer have to live a miserable life in this village."
"I was very moved after hearing that. I thought to myself that God was really kind to me. Such a good thing could happen to me. So in the following days, I treated him even better. I even killed the three laying hens that I had raised for two years to nourish his body."
"Just yesterday, he came back from outside at night, pulled me aside mysteriously, and said he wanted to give me a gift."
Widow Yang said this, turned her head and looked at the skin care product gift box in Pei Zhiyi's hand, gritted her teeth and said: "This is the gift he gave me."
"He said this is something that all the rich ladies in the capital love to use, called facial cream... oh, facial essence or something, and it can make your skin better after using it. It's very expensive, and he spent several hundred taels of silver to buy this set. I was very moved when I heard it, because I have never seen it before, so it feels very rare."
"But I only used the serum once and a lot of pimples appeared on my face. It was so itchy that I wanted to scratch my face until it broke."
"Then I went to ask him what was going on. Why did it not only have no effect, but also gave me a rash all over my face?"
"He hesitated and couldn't explain it. Finally, after my repeated questioning, he told me that it was sold to him by a guy named Wang Sheng in Wanzhuanglou. He didn't know what happened and might have been cheated by Wang Sheng."
"I was very angry after hearing this. I couldn't let the skin care products I bought be useless and end up losing everything. I felt bad for the three hundred taels of silver he spent, so I told him to go to Wanzhuanglou to ask for an explanation and have Wang Sheng come out to apologize to me."
