Madam Zhang had obviously discussed this with Liu Fuyun.

She did not hesitate to answer. “I thought that after such a thing had happened, Eldest Miss would beg the Grand Chancellor to help her seek justice. At that time, I would be able to teach her a good lesson as her stepmother. I never thought that the Eldest Miss would actually go to the Supreme Court for such a small matter.”

Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and sneered. “What an excellent reason!”

This was indeed a very good excuse!

“The second question.” Lu Mou glanced at Liu Shimei and asked, “Why did you use Second Young Miss Liu’s people to do this? Did the Liu family’s Second Young Miss know about this?”

The reason why he was so insistent on this question must be because all the clues he had found pointed to the people from Lotus Courtyard!

Madam Zhang remained calm and replied, “Yan’er doesn’t know about this. This was also because I had lost my mind because of my hatred. I was confused for a moment and thought of using the people of Lotus Courtyard to do it. When the Eldest Miss finds the Grand Chancellor to make a decision and asks about Yan’er, 1 can at least stand on my daughter’s side and speak for her. There will always be a way to suppress it. This way, it would be easier to deal with than saying that it was my doing.”

This excuse was really wonderful!

“So, you think that since Second Young Miss Liu is the candidate for the Crown Princess, the Grand Chancellor will not blame her no matter what? That’s why you made such a bold arrangement?” Lu Mou asked again.

Madam Zhang lowered her head and replied, “That’s right.”

At this point, Lu Mou had no intention of asking any other questions. He looked at Liu Shimei and asked, “Eldest Young Miss Liu, you were the one who initiated the case. What do you think?”

Seeing that the question was directed at Liu Shimei, Liu Fuyun immediately gave her a cold glance, as if saying: If you dare to go back on your word, I will never let you off!

However, even though he gave Liu Shimei a ruthless look, Liu Fuyun was still a little nervous.

He was afraid that Liu Shimei would suddenly change her mind and drag Liu Yan’er down with her!

Madam Zhang took the blame for her daughter. Although it would damage the reputation of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, it was good enough as long as Liu Yan’er could be protected.

Otherwise, if Liu Shimei, this rebellious daughter, refused to give up and dragged more people down, things would become even more troublesome.

However, after this incident, Liu Fuyun also realized: The current Liu Shimei was no longer the daughter who listened to him. After Liu Yan’er schemed against her and caused her to lose her virginity before marriage, this Elder Daughter’s temperament changed drastically. From then on, she was no longer under his control!

In the end, he still hated Liu Yan’er for causing trouble!

Since his daughter was not taught well, he naturally had to blame her mother. Therefore, it was reasonable to let Madam Zhang take the blame!

Liu Shimei responded to Liu Fuyun with a look and said, “Before the Lantern Festival, the family had always been kind and filial. Although my stepmother was not my biological daughter, she never treated me badly. But I never thought that after I was harmed by a traitor and lost my innocence on the night of the Lantern Festival, I would be able to see so many truths! My stepmother, who had been gentle for many years, actually committed such a crime just because she hated me for taking back her mother’s dowry…”

Her face revealed a look of pain, but her words were too dangerous. Liu Fuyun gave her another look.

The matter of the previous Lantern Festival had already been turned over!

Liu Shimei sneered in her heart and said, “If I had known that the theft of the storeroom was done by Madam, I wouldn’t have reported it to the Supreme Court. But now…”

She looked at Lu Mou and asked, “Lord Lu, according to the law of our court, how should this case be judged?”
