The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1858: The Commoners Are Unconvinced

After the Crown Prince, Lin Yuelan, and the others arrived at the court, they began to interrogate Boss Hu and the others.

The Crown Prince sat in the high hall, picked up the gavel, and slapped it heavily. He shouted sternly,” The plaintiffs, Eldest Brother Hu, Second Brother Hu, and the others, have sued the Princess of Guguo for deducting their wages. This Prince will be in charge of this case! Boss Hu, Second Brother Hu, is there such a thing?”

Boss Hu, Third Brother Hu, and the rest shook their heads and said,” No, Your Highness, we won’t sue. I have misunderstood Princess Gu. I know my mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness!”

The Crown Prince sneered and said sternly,” What do you take the laws of this dynasty for? If you want to sue, you can sue. If you don’t want to sue, you don’t have to! I am telling you, even if you don’t sue, you will be charged with ‘false accusation’ and it is a false accusation against the princess of Guguo. Your crimes are unforgivable!”

Boss Hu and the others paled. They were like deflated balls, shrivelled and powerless.

Second Brother Hu reacted fiercely and said,” Your Highness, I didn’t frame her. The princess of Guguo has indeed deducted our wages. Your Highness, please make a decision for this commoner!”

Even now, Second Brother Hu was still persevering.

The Crown Prince’s face darkened when he saw Second Brother Hu’s stubbornness. He questioned sternly,” How dare you! You said that the princess of the Guguo deducted your wages, then show me the evidence. Otherwise, do you think people will believe you just based on your empty words?”

When Second Brother Hu mentioned the evidence, his entire body stiffened. Then, he defended himself,” My five brothers are the evidence! Princess Gu did not pay the annual dividends of the Lin family’s housing company truthfully. Your Highness, please investigate!”

“Ridiculous!”

Suddenly, a beautiful woman’s voice sounded.

“How dare you! Who is making such a racket outside?!” The Crown Prince shouted.

As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, Lin Jinmei, who was dressed in a purple-blue dress, walked in. Following her were two guards carrying a large box.

Lin Jinmei knelt down and said with a serious expression,” Lin Jinmei, the manager of the Lin Group’s housing construction company, greets Your Highness!”

The Crown Prince asked sternly,” Lin Jinmei, do you know what the punishment for trespassing is?”

Lin Jinmei said,” Your Highness, I admit my mistake!” Then, she changed the topic and looked at Second Brother Hu with a sharp and angry gaze. She said loudly,” It’s just that I’m really too angry at these ungrateful wolves. They wrongly accused Princess Gu. As their manager, this commoner has to prove Princess Gu’s innocence!”

Because Boss Hu and the others directly sued Lin Yuelan, Lin Jinmei, the manager of the Lin Group’s housing construction company, could not be ignored.

This was a strange thing!

Because of this, many people believed that this was a conspiracy against Princess Lin Yuelan.

Before the crown prince could speak, Prince Ping shouted angrily at Lin Jinmei,” How dare you! Not only did you barge into the court, but as the manager of the Lin family’s housing company and the subordinate of Princess Gu Guo, how can you prove Princess Gu Guo’s innocence? How can your testimony be trusted?”

At this point, he glared sharply at Lin Jinmei with a fierce gaze and continued,” You unruly citizen, you really don’t know what’s good for you!”

Then, he looked at the Crown Prince and said,” Crown Prince, this unruly person is a subordinate of Princess Guguo. You can’t trust her easily!”

When the Crown Prince heard this, he frowned slightly and said,” Seventh Imperial Uncle, let’s see what kind of evidence this person has. It’s not too late to judge!”

However, he thought to himself,’These two imperial uncles are really abnormal today, especially this Seventh Imperial Uncle. He seems to be bent on dealing with the princess of Guguo! I wonder if Princess Gu offended him in some way. Why is he doing this?’

Thinking of this, the Crown Prince’s heart turned cold, and a cold sweat broke out on his back!

If that was the case, then perhaps everything that happened today was a conspiracy, and this conspiracy was targeted at him. Oh, no, perhaps it was his position as the Crown Prince?

After figuring this out, the Crown Prince was certain that there must be someone behind Boss Hu, Second Brother Hu, and the others, and this person was from the Imperial Family.

He just didn’t know who in the imperial family it was.

The Crown Prince calmly swept his gaze across the two princes and the eldest grandson from the corner of his eyes. Then, his fingers involuntarily tightened and then loosened.

He believed that Lin Yuelan would not be so easy to deal with. Otherwise, she would have been killed two years ago. After all, ever since she entered the capital and showed her face in front of everyone, she had already made a lot of enemies.

He looked at Lin Jinmei and asked sternly,” Lin Jinmei, how are you going to prove Princess Gu’s innocence?!”

Lin Jinmei replied,” Your Highness! After Princess Guguo handed over the Lin Real Estate Construction Company to the commoner, the first thing she requested was that the income and expenditure of every sum of money, as well as the details, be it as small as buying a steamed bun for a penny, or as big as handing over the house to the client, must be recorded in detail!”

At this point, she pointed at the box beside her and continued,” Your Highness, this is the account book of the Lin Group’s housing construction company from the beginning of its establishment to now. It’s all in this box. Please check it carefully, Your Highness!”

At this point, she deliberately repeated,” Your Highness, when the Lin Group’s housing company was first established, Boss Hu and his brothers started to work for us. Therefore, this account book also had a record of their assets! Your Highness, please investigate!”

There was nothing more convincing than the account book!

Second Brother Hu used to give people the impression that he was simple and honest, but it didn’t mean that he was stupid.

Hearing Lin Jinmei’s words and looking at the box containing the account book on the ground, his aura immediately weakened.

However, he argued,” Your Highness, even if it’s an account book, it can be forged! Who knows if they made a fake account book to verify their innocence? Your Highness, please investigate!”

Yuwen Yanyu sneered and said,” Second Brother Hu, what you mean is that Princess Guguo and the others knew that you would come to sue them, so they prepared some fake accounts to deal with you in advance, right?”

When Second Brother Hu heard this, he immediately nodded and said,” That’s right, that’s right. This commoner means that!”

Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu’s face darkened. He slammed the gavel in his hand again and shouted sternly,” Second Brother Hu, at this moment, you are still obstinate. You even want to slander the princess of the Guguo. Do you know the extent of your crime?”

Second Brother Hu was speechless. He was dumbfounded!

He didn’t know what he did wrong!

He did not know where his courage came from, but he shouted indignantly,” Your Highness, what I said is true. What crime is there? I refuse to accept this!”

The Crown Prince laughed coldly and said,” Haha, if you’re not convinced, then fine. I will let someone explain it to you and see if you’re convinced. Boss Hu, explain it to him!”

Boss Hu was speechless.
