Chapter 499 Shen Rou Has a Guilty Heart
Yan Bijun at the side looked at Zuo Junyao who was following Zuo Zhishan, and seemed to have something to say to her in his expression, but this was not a place to talk after all, so he turned his head after only a few glances.

Zuo Junyao didn't speak when she saw this.

Mo Zhanyang knelt on the ground to answer Mo Jingli's question: "My majesty, it's just that some of the servants who were sending the dowry got mad and lifted the box containing the dowry, and the dowry was looted. The younger brother has already Send people to control the thieves, and normal order will be restored in a short time, and the emperor and queen are invited to move to Prince Rui's mansion to watch the ceremony."

Mo Jingli listened to his answer, glanced at the things on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and said: "The prime minister is really a big hand!"

Hearing this, Zuo Zhishan hurried forward and knelt at the place behind King Rui: "Your Majesty, I don't understand why these priceless things are mixed in the dowry! The dowry was prepared by my wife, and I will find out when I go back Tell the truth to the emperor again!"

"Oh? The Prime Minister means that these things don't belong to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes and asked.

When Shen Rou heard this, she became anxious, and hurried forward to kneel on the ground and said: "Your Majesty! Back to the Emperor, these things are indeed from the Prime Minister's Mansion! Yes, they are the dowry brought by the minister's wife when she married my master. ! My master has never seen those things, so I don’t know very well!”

Zuo Zhishan's body trembled when he heard the words, and he didn't know what he thought of, but saw him glaring at Shen Rou, as if he wanted to say something.

Shen Rou lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, as if she was waiting for Mo Jingli's decision.

Zuo Junyao sneered when she heard the words, and said, "Your dowry? Hehe, I'm afraid that even all of your Shen family's property is not worth even one of them!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at her.

She no longer hid, took a step forward, came to Mo Jingli, and knelt beside Zuo Zhishan.

When Shen Rou heard her say this, her heart tightened, and she began to feel guilty.

"Yaoyao, you..." Zuo Zhishan frowned tightly and turned his face to the side, just said this, and then stopped talking.

He didn't know how to ask her.

He thought she wouldn't know about it, but judging from what she said just now, he probably already knew something.

Seeing this, Mo Jingli became interested.

"Zuo Junyao? Aren't you feeling unwell? Why, did you go out today?"

Mo Jingli knew about her body, probably the queen mother told him, but Zuo Junyao didn't know what he was thinking about when he said this, and couldn't hear any meaning from his tone.

"Back to the emperor, my daughter is really unwell these days, but today is the wedding day of sister Jin'er and Prince Rui, so Junyao also has to go to watch the ceremony."

"Well," Mo Jingli nodded, wondering if she accepted her words, and then asked about what happened just now: "What did you say just now? Have you ever seen these things before?"

He pointed his hand not far away, where there were still dowries scattered on the ground that had not been put away.

"Jun Yao has never seen it before."

"I haven't seen what you mean?! Look down on us, Mrs. Chen, who can afford such an expensive dowry?"

Shen Rou actually didn't have much confidence in saying this.

Although the Shen family did some business in the past, the scale was not large. Not to mention those priceless treasures, even sending thousands of taels of gold with them would be difficult.

But because Shen Rou just heard from Zuo Junyao that she had never seen those things, she wanted to take a gamble that what Zuo Junyao said just now was pure speculation!

In that case, not only can she save face, but she can also sue Zuo Junyao for framing!
