At this moment, Liu Xi coolly said, "Even if you have married into the Shen family's wealth, how can you prove that this jade was given by your wife? Although the Shen family has some resources, this jade is quite valuable and not something one would casually give away. If it truly was a token from your wife, how could it be used to redeem a courtesan? Clearly, you are lying."
"Right, Eunuch Liu is right, this scoundrel must be lying!"
The county magistrate echoed in agreement.
Liu Xi was a favorite beside the Empress Dowager, whereas Lord Shen was merely a minor sixth-rank official. The county magistrate naturally understood whom to associate with and which side to stand on. Besides, Li Sheng committing such an act meant that Lord Shen would most likely divorce him, so whatever Eunuch Liu said, he would follow suit.
