Qiuping's shoulders shook slightly, and then she answered with a choked tone: "I am sixteen years old this year and have been here for half a year."
Her voice is also soft and soft, which is very nice to hear.
Shen Ning walked up to her, looked from her hair to her heels, and circled around her.
"Then let me ask you again, how much is your monthly salary?"
"Seven, seven denarii."
Qiuping was very uneasy, she huddled her shoulders, looked at the toes of her shoes that were slightly exposed outside the hem of her skirt, and lowered her head.
Shen Ning nodded: "Mrs. Wang is quite good to you. A maid earning seven coins a month is quite a lot."
Qiuping said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, the mistress treated her slaves very well, but she... she... passed away."
She lowered her head and began to cry.
Prince Wang couldn't help shouting: "Miss Shen, she is the killer of my mother. Don't be fooled by her appearance!"
"Sir, it was not me who harmed the mistress, it was not me..." Qiuping raised her eyes as if frightened, and her eyes quickly filled with tears, flowing down her fair face.
"Hmph, put away your pitiful tricks. You can no longer deceive me. Do you think I will fall for you again?" Prince Wang glared at her angrily and shouted, "Master Zhou, she is What a murderer! I saw her kill my mother with my own eyes!"
"Oh? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Shen Ning suddenly cast her gaze on Prince Wang's face, her eyes full of interest: "So, Prince Wang was at the scene when your daughter was murdered? Could you please describe how Qiu Ping harmed your daughter? Why did you Seeing your father’s murder with your own eyes and yet not doing anything to stop him?”
Prince Wang was immediately speechless by the question. His face turned red, but he was stammering and speechless.
"Well... I... I..." He held it in for a long time before he finally said: "I... of course I wasn't there."
"Since Mr. Wang was not at the scene, how could he see her harming your mother with his own eyes?" Shen Ning deliberately emphasized the word "with my own eyes".
"I..." Prince Wang was at a loss for words again.
"Mr. Wang, do you know that lying is equivalent to perjury and will lead to imprisonment." Shen Ning's tone suddenly dropped.
Prince Wang's face turned pale. He lowered his head and said dullly: "I didn't see it with my own eyes. However," he raised his head and looked directly at Shen Ning: "On the morning of my mother's death, I went to pay her respects. , I saw Qiuping coming out of my mother's room with a look of panic on her face. When she saw me, she immediately screamed and ran away. I noticed something was wrong, so when I opened the room and took a look, I saw my mother hanging. Above the rafters, if she was not the murderer of my mother, why did she run away with a guilty conscience?"
"Oh, there's this other thing?" Shen Ning's eyes showed deep thought.
"It's absolutely true! Miss Shen, I did like Qiuping and wanted to take her as my concubine, but she rejected me flatly. But I will not just accuse her of murder just because of this incident. I am not seeking personal revenge at all! "The prince waved his sleeves bitterly and glared at the servants around him.
Obviously, the gossip in the house did not escape his ears.
"Ahem!" Wang Yuanwai, who had been silent until now, cleared his throat and spoke slowly, with a hint of complaint in his voice.
