After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

The incident caused by Shen Shu was not a big deal. As long as the Wei family could produce the imperial gift, the case would be settled quickly. But unfortunately, the Wei family could not produce it.

How can we take out again something that has already been sent to the homes of the rich and powerful?

He couldn't go and ask for it back. Not only would he not get any help from those people, he might even offend people, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

The case was heard in Shuntian Prefecture, and Shen Ning was also summoned. After all, the imperial gift was originally her dowry, and she is now the head of the Shen family, so it is necessary to question her.

Shen Ning arrived on time in a sedan chair, wrapped tightly in a fox fur coat, but she was slender and tall, so she didn't look bloated.

She was wearing a pomegranate red long skirt, which looked like red plum blossoms falling in the snow, appearing and disappearing as she walked.

Because she was going to the court, she did not wear any fancy jewelry. She only asked Liuying to help her put her hair up and put on two jade hairpins, which was simple, elegant and unique.

Butler Liang and Marquis Liang Zhuo were outside the court. When they saw Shen Ning, their expressions moved slightly. Liang Zhuo subconsciously wanted to step forward, but he didn't dare to move rashly. Instead, he reminded his father: "Dad, the eldest lady is here."

Butler Liang hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to greet him: "Miss."

Shen Ning did not ask him whether he was still the butler of the Shen family at this time. He nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Liang, long time no see."

After saying that, he walked in naturally.

Liang Zhuo almost subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but Butler Liang stopped him: "What are you doing?"

Liang Zhuo looked a little unnatural, and he couldn't quite put his words into words, but it was clear to others what he wanted to express.

Butler Liang looked at him coldly: "It was my fault before. I actually wanted you to marry the eldest lady."

Liang Zhuo said anxiously: "The young lady is fine."

Butler Liang: "Of course the eldest lady is very good, but you are not worthy of her."

Liang Zhuo: “…” Speechless.

Seeing that his son seemed to really care about the eldest daughter, Butler Liang felt very melancholy.

If the eldest daughter was still just a little girl who needed to depend on him, Butler Liang could still look at Shen Ning as an elder looking at a younger generation, and calculate the benefits of her becoming his daughter-in-law.

But from everything he noticed after he was bewitched and driven out of the Shen family and then moved to the Wei family, he truly understood that the eldest lady was not a simple person.

These seemingly natural troubles of the Wei and Shen families may actually be a game played by the eldest lady.

Shen Changlin and Shen Ming are dead, the second house has completely lost its threat, the young master has been sent away, and the second young lady has been deserted by her relatives and friends. Now it is the Wei family's turn.

The eldest daughter is a very wise and decisive person. She has always been burdened by her relatives. Now that she has gotten rid of all the burdens, who can stop her?

He knows better than anyone what kind of person his son is. He is not worthy of marrying the eldest daughter, not to mention that he is indecisive and has an ambiguous relationship with the second daughter. This is just wishful thinking.

In the lobby of the yamen, the three members of the Wei family stood aside, but Shen Shu was not there.

The three members of the Wei family looked at her. Wei Changgeng had a cold expression and a look that seemed to be able to eat people, and Mrs. Wei had anger in her eyes.

It's ridiculous. They were the ones who stole the things, but now the thieves hate the owner.

Wei Congwen stood behind his parents and glanced at Shen Ning with a complicated expression, but he didn't have much emotion. He and Shen Shu had broken up, but he didn't like Shen Ning either. At most, he just felt a little regretful.

Sitting in the courtroom was Shuntian Prefecture Governor Tao Guangyi, with a dignified look and a solemn look: "Who is here?"

Shen Ning replied: "Shen Ning, daughter of Shen Shuyuan, greets Lord Tao."

Tao Guangyi asked: "Did you arrange the dowry that Shen Shu brought?"

Shen Ning: "That was originally my dowry, but due to some ridiculous reasons, it was eventually transferred to Shen Shu."

Tao Guangyi asked again: "The gift from the emperor was originally earned by your father's glory, why did you put it in the dowry?"

Shen Ning answered calmly, "Your Excellency, since our parents died, the three of us sisters have been left without an elder. My second uncle and cousin have been idle and have squandered their family wealth, and they still covet the first family's property. Logically, these things should have been inherited by my younger brother Shen Yu, but he is too young and undecided to take on such a big responsibility. In addition, my mourning period had expired and my engagement with the Wei family was imminent, so I deliberately included the imperial gifts in the dowry list in order to keep them with me and protect them with the identity of the Wei family. I will return them when my younger brother grows up and is sensible."

"Later, something unexpected happened and the marriage was changed, but my second uncle and aunt pressed me hard. After careful consideration, I decided not to take back the dowry. Shen Shu is also Shen Yu's sister, and the imperial gift cannot be moved, even if it is kept in Shen Shu's name. Who would have thought that in less than half a year, it would become like this."

Shen Ning answered calmly, as if he didn't need to think, just narrating an event in the past, which made people inexplicably convinced.

Tao Guangyi nodded, with a hint of praise: "Your consideration is correct, but sometimes man proposes, God disposes."

Seeing that Tao Guangyi was praising her, Madam Wei became upset: "Sir, she is lying. She must have hidden those imperial gifts. She just wrote them down. Who knows if they are real or fake in the dowry? Anyway, I have never seen them."

Wei Changgeng had a cold and solemn expression on his face, and rebuked with the dignity of an elder: "Shen Ning, it's good that you want to protect your family wealth, and it's understandable that you want to use my name, but you shouldn't hide the things and instigate Shen Shu to slander me."

After saying this, he looked very sad and disappointed: "Your father and I were classmates and close friends. I loved you like my own children. How could you treat me like this? Are you worthy of your father's teachings to you?"

He was trying to play dumb and put the blame back on her.

Shen Ning did not argue with him, but said to Tao Guangyi: "Sir, I am sure that the imperial gifts were put into the dowry and sent to the Wei family. Shen's servants, the matchmaker, and the housekeeper Liang can all testify to this. Even the guests that day should have seen it. As for what happened after the items entered the Wei family, it has nothing to do with me, because I have never been to the Wei family since then."

Wei Changgeng didn't expect Shen Ning not to accept the challenge. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He was anxious but didn't dare to show it on his face. He just winked at his wife.

Mrs. Wei got his signal and immediately rushed towards Shen Ning: "Shen Ning, you can't confuse right and wrong like this, you are going to kill your uncle..."

"Bang!" Lord Tao slammed the gavel and said, "Silence! Crying and howling, how disgraceful!"

Finally, he turned to Shen Ning and said, "You have explained your situation clearly. Please go to the side and listen for now."

After that, he said to the lawyer next to him: "Immediately arrange for someone to interrogate him again. You don't need to bring him here, but you need to put your fingerprints and sign."

The legal advisor had followed Lord Tao for many years, and even though Lord Tao had never said a word in favor of him, the legal advisor noticed that Lord Tao seemed very kind to Miss Shen, and he immediately had some concerns in his mind.

"Subordinate, go right away."
