After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

Wei Zhaoning rose from his seat unhurriedly, his voice not loud, but quite intimidating.

Princess Jiayi frowned when she saw someone interrupt her.

The Seventh Princess also looked at her, her eyes filled with coldness.

"Princess Jiayi, may I see those earrings?"

Everyone in the room thought Wei Zhaoning was strange. At this exciting moment, she was acting like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, wanting to come up and look at the earrings.

Wei Jiaru chuckled and explained to the women beside her, "My sister hasn't seen anything good. She probably stopped it because she was afraid that after Princess Jiayi left, she would never be able to see the earrings up close again."

Princess Jiayi smiled and said, "Of course."

A palace maid presented the pair of pearl earrings that had been found on the seventh princess.

Wei Zhaoning looked at them for a while, then exclaimed in surprise, "Seventh Princess, aren't these the earrings I gave you? Why aren't you wearing them? I thought you didn't like them!"

Princess Jiayi's expression changed, and the Seventh Princess was somewhat taken aback.

Some of the bolder women came up to take a look.

"Hey, it doesn't seem to be Princess Jiayi's earrings. I just looked at them closely, and the materials are different. Also, Princess Jiayi's earrings have a pure silver chain, while these are pure gold."

"So it was a misunderstanding. It really wasn't Princess Jiayi's earring."

Princess Jiayi's face darkened instantly, and she gave the palace servant beside her a fierce look.

"Princess Jiayi, I have another question. Which room did you go to change in?"

Princess Jiayi: "Naturally, it's the one on the east side."

"That's right. I accompanied the Seventh Princess to change her clothes, but we went to the west wing," Wei Zhaoning said.

Princess Jiayi opened her mouth, her back teeth almost grinding to powder.

Wei Jiaruo and Lu Jieyue both showed expressions of disbelief. Wei Zhaoning had actually escaped again!

A light appeared in the Seventh Princess's eyes as she looked at Wei Zhaoning thoughtfully.

It turns out that she asked her to change course in order to help her.

Now that things have come to this, how could she not understand? Today's events were all a trap set by Princess Jiayi to frame her.

She was a little annoyed and about to say something when Wei Zhaoning stepped forward and gently squeezed her hand, signaling her not to speak.

"It seems the truth has come out. The Seventh Princess is innocent. Princess Jiayi should send people to continue the search to see who stole the real earrings," Wei Zhaoning said.

"Yes, if it wasn't the Seventh Princess who took it, then who did?"

"This is such an important thing, we can't lose it."

Princess Jiayi suddenly became restless, her gaze towards Wei Zhaoning turned displeased, and her voice lost some of its confidence. She forced herself to say, "Guards, continue the search."

She glanced at the Seventh Princess with resentment.

The Seventh Princess snorted coldly and calmly watched the palace servants conduct the investigation.

They checked seven or eight female relatives in succession, but couldn't find any trace of the pearl earrings.

The Seventh Princess asked with interest, "Why can't we find anything after searching for so long? Could it be that it wasn't lost at all?"

Princess Jiayi's heart skipped a beat, her expression panicked, and she stammered, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The women whose clothes had been turned inside out looked at Princess Jiayi with somewhat meaningful expressions.

Lu Jieyue gently nudged Wei Jiaruo, "Didn't you say this was a scheme orchestrated by Princess Jiayi herself? If she investigates now, won't she discover that we planted Wei Zhaoning in this?"

Wei Jiaruo looked disappointed, but remained calm: "She was just putting on an act. The pearl is probably in her own room. Anyway, they can't trace it back to us. This failure is just another chance."

Seeing that everyone's expressions were not right, Princess Jiayi immediately said, "Why don't I send someone to search the side rooms? We probably won't find any clues here."

The Seventh Princess immediately retorted, "We've almost finished investigating, what's the difference between these few people? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Princess Jiayi, I suggest we finish the investigation. Otherwise, it's unfair to the sisters who were thoroughly investigated earlier," Wei Zhaoning said.

The women all agreed, and Princess Jiayi's face grew increasingly pale, with fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. She could only stubbornly insist, "Continue the investigation."

When they found Wei Jiaruo's name, a palace maid exclaimed, "Found her! This time it must be true, it's Princess Jiayi's earring!"

Wei Jiaruo was shocked and quickly said, "How is that possible? I haven't even left my seat!"

Princess Jiayi, as if she had found a savior, decided to use her as a scapegoat. "Alright, I was mistaken last time. This time, everyone, take a look and see if these are really my earrings!"

Everyone crowded around to take a look and confirmed that these were indeed Princess Jiayi's earrings.

Wei Zhaoning smiled and said, "Little sister, I didn't expect you to know this kind of skill."

Wei Jiaruo stood up in a panic, her pupils dilating suddenly as she stared at Wei Zhaoning in astonishment.

"It was you! You did it on purpose!"

Wei Zhaoning pursed her lips. "Princess Jiayi, the culprit has been found. How should she be dealt with? Although she is my sister, rest assured, she will be dealt with impartially, and I will have no complaints."

Wei Jiaruo's breathing became rapid, her cheeks flushed, and her fingers gripped the table tightly until her knuckles turned white.

"It really wasn't me, Your Highness, please understand! It was Wei Zhaoning! Wei Zhaoning deliberately stole this to frame me!"

Princess Jiayi didn't give her a chance to explain, concluding with, "If I remember correctly, you also stole your sister's husband, didn't you? You're so fond of stealing other people's things, how can I possibly believe you?"

"Yes! The Yongxin Marquis's mansion is very lively. It is said that Wei Jiaruo was brought into the mansion as a concubine after only three months of marriage, and soon became a secondary wife."

Rumor has it that because of Wei Jiaruo, Lord Lu and Wei Zhaoning have never shared a room!

"If you said it was the Seventh Princess who stole it, I would be shocked. She has never made any mistakes in her character. But if it was this Lady of the Marquis, she wouldn't stand up to scrutiny at all. She's used to stealing."

"Even at this point, she's still clinging to Wei Zhaoning. Her husband has already been stolen away, what more does she want?"

Wei Jiaruo's face flushed red, and Lu Jieyue and her sister felt ashamed and embarrassed.

He wished he could cover his face and stay dozens of meters away from Wei Jiaruo.

"Guards! Take him to the Dali Temple and deal with him impartially!" Princess Jiayi insisted.

The Seventh Princess sneered, "What a perfect scapegoat."

Seeing her expression, Wei Zhaoning smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, just wait and see."

The Seventh Princess stared at Wei Zhaoning for a while before looking away, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Wei Jiaru was furious. Seeing that people were about to take her away, her panic reached its peak.

She cannot enter the Dali Temple!

Entering the Dali Temple would bring shame upon the Marquis's mansion!

She finally managed to gain a foothold!

Suddenly, Wei Jiaruo broke free from the palace servants. "I have something to tell you all!"
