Chapter 250 Exposed
Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm as she continued to frown as if she was thinking.
"If I had known earlier that the Shen family was wrongly accused, I would have tried my best to find clues..."
As she spoke, she changed the subject and took the initiative to pick up the jade pendant.
"If you hadn't mentioned the jade pendant before, I wouldn't even know it existed. You invited me here today. Does the whereabouts of the jade pendant have anything to do with me?"
Prince Qing withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and nodded gently, "You are very smart. This matter does have something to do with you."
"If there is anything I can do, please tell me. Now I just hope to clear the Shen family of the injustice as soon as possible."
"Of course." Murong Zi of the Qing Dynasty gave a wink.
Murong Zi understood and immediately told Yichunyuan the results of the investigation.
"Miss, do you know a shopkeeper named Mo? He opened a jewelry store called Huapin Pavilion in Lin'an."
Shen Jiaojiao's pupils trembled slightly, and her hands hidden under her sleeves were clenched tightly, with her nails almost digging into her palms.
The sharp pain made her more awake.
She nodded, "Yes, I recognize it. I go to this shop occasionally and have talked with Shopkeeper Mo a few times. Sometimes when I don't have time, I will ask my maid to buy it."
Murong Zi looked at her with her eyes lowered. "Besides that, has Manager Mo told you anything about the Shen family?"
Shen Jiaojiao raised her head in confusion and looked at Murong Zi, "What does Pavilion Master Murong mean by this? Is Manager Mo involved with the Shen family?"
Prince Qing actually found Mo Qian!
Even my brother took a long time to find out that something was wrong with Mo Qian. How could Prince Qing and his men act so quickly?
At this moment, she had to be extremely cautious, not tell a single lie, and also be wary of the trap set for her by Prince Qing.
"Miss, I am the one asking the questions now."
The smile on Murong Zi's face paused, and her peach blossom eyes became extremely sharp, staring straight at her.
She pursed her lips and glanced at Prince Qing quickly.
King Qing nodded at her, with a kind and gentle smile on his face, as if encouraging her to answer as soon as possible.
She then answered: "I haven't been to Huapin Pavilion very often, and I have only met Manager Mo twice. He has never mentioned the Shen family to me." "Miss, are you sure?" Murong Zi asked quietly.
Shen Jiaojiao hummed and asked back, "Master Murong, can you tell me what the relationship is between Manager Mo and the Shen family?"
"You care?"
"Of course, I guess Manager Mo must be related to the Shen family, otherwise why would Prince Qing specially invite me here? I just hope this person can clear my Shen family's name!"
She spoke with great vigour, as if she believed Prince Qing very much.
Murong Zi looked at her quietly for a long time, and suddenly chuckled.
"Miss, the news we received is that Mo Qian handed the jade pendant to you. How do you want to explain it?"
Shen Jiaojiao took a deep breath, her face full of confusion, "What do you mean? The jade pendant is in my hand?"
The look of surprise didn't seem fake.
She was genuinely surprised.
Prince Qing had only been in Lin'an for a few days, but he had already found out everything about Mo Qian. No wonder he dared to kidnap her from the Meng Mansion.
"Shen Jiaojiao." Murong Zi's tone was a little heavier, "As long as you hand over the jade pendant as soon as possible, I won't make things difficult for you."
Shen Jiaojiao ignored him and turned to bow to Prince Qing.
"Prince Qing, I have never received a jade pendant from Mo Qian, but I have purchased a lot of jade ornaments from Huapin Pavilion before. Perhaps there is the jade pendant you are looking for among them."
"If you trust me, I can go back to the Meng Mansion and take out the jade pendant. If you don't trust me, you can ask someone to find the maid Keying. She is my trusted maid and will definitely take out the jade pendant. Then you can check whether there is the Shen family's jade pendant in it."
She behaved very frankly, which aroused no suspicion.
Prince Qing sat at the top, staring at her, with an incomprehensible gleam in his eyes.
