Chapter 219 Where Did the Fabric Come From?

Zhang Youli picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

What these elders said makes sense.

Shen Youqing is unruly, but she has principles and a bottom line; she will never do anything she shouldn't.

Just as Meng Qinian was about to say something, the group of disciples returned.

After the group of disciples finished reporting, the main hall fell silent.

"So she was just lazing around in the grassland behind the Second Precept Peak for almost a day?" An elder said, finding it absurd.

The disciple nodded and reported, "Shen Youqing said she had been drawing talismans for half a month straight and couldn't draw anymore, so she secretly slipped away to hide there."

"..." The elders seemed to have been silenced.

This was completely unexpected!
Meng Qinian looked through the images in the recording stone and the evidence. After looking at them, he could only say, "This matter is indeed full of doubts. These are enough to prove Shen Youqing's innocence, but the material is also irrefutable evidence."

The material is called Snow Silver Silk.

Snow silver silk is extremely rare, and it is priceless even when available. Very few people can actually buy it.

Unfortunately, Shen Youqing had a lot of this priceless snow-silver silk, and at least a third of the dresses she wore were made of this material.

The evidence of the snow-silver silk is truly irrefutable.

After the group of disciples left, the atmosphere in the main hall fell silent.

Zhang Youli slightly furrowed his brows, his expression serious and indifferent.

Snow silver silk is rare and expensive, but for aristocratic families, that material is not considered particularly rare.

"Sect Leader! Sect Leader Hua of the Hehuan Sect requests an audience!"

This is a sign of bad intentions.

Zhang Youli said, "Please come here."

A moment later, the alluring and graceful Hua Yuan walked in.

"It's so lively!" Hua Yuan said, raising his hand to give Zhang Youli a slight bow, and then walked straight to an empty chair to sit down.

Zhang Youli stood up, bowed to Hua Yuan, and after sitting down, asked, "Is it about Shen Youqing?"

"Otherwise?" Hua Yuan said bluntly, "Xiao Youqing is almost wronged to death. If I, as her master, don't speak up, people might think her master is dead."

Her alluring and seductive voice was powerful and domineering, and the slight pressure emanating from her body was too much for the elders to handle.

Seeing that Hua Yuan's visitor was hostile, Zhang Youli patiently spoke up, "Sect Leader Hua, our sect will not wrong any innocent person. We have already found quite a few, and that evidence proves that Shen Youqing is not the culprit."

"Oh?" Hua Yuan's voice was charming, with a slight upward inflection at the end, like a small hook.

If everyone present were young people, they would probably be completely captivated.

Unfortunately, those present were all seasoned veterans who had experienced Hua Yuan's temper firsthand, and they felt only fear towards him, without a trace of romantic interest.

“The evidence of the Snow Silver Silk needs time to be investigated,” Zhang Youli said frankly. “Our sect will not do anything to Shen Youqing, but she cannot leave the sect until the truth is revealed.”

"Is snow silver silk some kind of rare commodity?" Hua Yuan's alluring voice carried a hint of coldness. "Isn't that material something you can buy with money?"

"..." Zhang Youli was speechless for a moment. "Sect Leader Hua, Snow Silver Silk is exclusively produced by the Fifth Cloth Shop, not to mention whether it's rare or not..."

"Sect Master, the young master of the Fifth Family requests an audience."

Zhang Youli, who was interrupted, was not angry. He then invited Fifth Lord to come in.

A short while later, the Fifth Prince strode over.

"Greetings, Sect Master Zhang." Fifth Lord raised his hand and bowed to Zhang Youli in the main seat, then turned and bowed to Hua Yuan to the side, "Greetings, Sect Master Hua."

Huayuan waved his hand.

"This is a rubbing of the sales records of the cloth shop Xueyin Silk. It may be helpful for the investigation of this matter." Fifth Lord took out an account book from his storage ring and handed it over.

Meng Qinian quickly got up and started searching.

"The fabric worn by Miss Shen is a snow-silver silk with a lotus pattern. There are ten bolts of this fabric in total. My father kept four bolts and only sold six," Fifth Master explained briefly.

Meng Qinian had already turned to that page; of the ten bolts of fabric, only six had been sold, three of which were bought by the Shen family.

The remaining three horses were bought by the Yue family. One was from the Shen family, and the other from the Yue family…

After delivering the ledger, Fifth Lord bowed and left.

Meng Qinian handed the ledger to Zhang Youli, pondered for a moment, and said, "Right now, we need to know where those materials went and what they are used for."

The Shen family is manageable, but the Yue family… Young Master Yue’s attitude last night was clear, I’m afraid the Yue family’s attitude will be…

"Let's call them here and ask them first," Zhang Youli said, putting down the rubbing of the account book. "The young masters of the Shen Youqing and Shen Yue families, as well as Shen Xingzhi and Shen Qiuluo."

Huayuan sat quietly to one side, listening.

Meng Qinian responded.

A quarter of an hour later.

Looking at Shen Youqing who was rushing over, Shen Qiuluo's eyes revealed a complicated look.

That sounded like an accusation that Shen Youqing had gone too far.

Shen Youqing looked over with a cold, sharp gaze.

She doesn't care about anything if she wants to hit someone!
Shen Qiulu averted her gaze, concealing the sinister glint in her eyes.

She wanted to see how long Shen Youqing could remain so arrogant!
Standing in the main hall, Yue Xunzhu spoke elegantly, "Only two bolts of the blue jacquard lotus patterned snow silver silk were sold. The one that the Yue family bought has already been made into a dress for Jinjin."

Standing to the side, Shen Youqing secretly glanced at his beautiful master.

Did Master come to Qingyu Sect for his own reasons?
Hua Yuan looked at the furtive little girl and couldn't help but smile at her.

It's been so long since I've seen Xiao Youqing, I really miss her.

“I have the same color fabric in my hands,” Shen Xingzhi said abruptly. Without further ado, she took out the unused fabric from her storage ring.

The unused fabric is exactly the same as the blue dress Shen Youqing is wearing.

Shen Youqing tilted his head to look.

"Father bought three bolts of snow-silver silk, one for each of us," Shen Xingzhi said, then unfolded the fabric to show it off.

Shen Youqing reached out to help.

"It hasn't been cut yet." Meng Qinian waved his hand, indicating that Shen Xingzhi could put the fabric away.

One bolt of fabric was in Shen Xingzhi's hands, and the other was on Shen Youqing's person.

The fabric that Shen Xingzhi has hasn't been touched yet, so...

Meng Qinian felt that the progress had reached a dead end.

Given the current situation, the matter of the snow silver silk could indeed be enough to destroy Shen Youqing, but the evidence found on the back mountain of Erjie Peak is sufficient to prove that Shen Youqing has never left Erjie Peak.

"The snow silver silk with lotus pattern in my hand is pink." Shen Qiulu took out a pink dress from her storage ring.

Meng Qinian waved his hand.

Suddenly, Shen Quelin bowed to Zhang Youli and asked, "Sect Leader Zhang, may I take a look at that piece of fabric?"

Zhang Youli responded.

A moment later, a disciple from the Punishment Hall came in carrying a mahogany tray, on which was placed a piece of material that was somewhat wrinkled and covered in dirt.

The piece of blue jacquard lotus-patterned snow silver silk was indeed exactly the same material as the dress Shen Youqing was wearing.

Shen Quelin did not reach out to touch it; he simply leaned down slightly to observe it up close.

Shen Xingzhi, who was standing nearby, also went up to watch.

The material is indeed exactly the same as the skirt worn by Youqing.

The person behind the scenes came prepared.

Yue Xunzhu wasn't curious; he was pondering where this piece of material came from.

There were only two bolts of the blue jacquard lotus patterned snow silver silk, one on Jinjin and the other on Shen Xingzhi.

Shen Xingzhi's fabric was completely useless, while Jinjin's skirt was made by the Yue family.

Shen Qiuluo's influence cannot reach the Yue family.
