Wei San said, "Yes, Chunli and Chun Qiao from Qian Hong Lou both saw it."
The shopkeeper's wife from Qian Hong Lou said, "Lord, I also have witnesses, Chen Si, Chen Wu, any of the staff from Qian Hong Lou can testify."
The County Magistrate glanced at the two women and again asked Wei San for the names of those involved.
He ordered the government officials to summon them.
Several officials each rode to summon the people, and before long, all the witnesses were brought in.
But to Wei San's surprise, the witnesses she pointed out all opposed her statement.
"Sir, Shopkeeper Ye Niangzi did not ask her to accompany guests for wine; it was she who got into an argument while speaking to someone and, in her haste to leave, accidentally bumped into the jade bottle on the shelf," said Chunli and Chun Qiao together.
The witnesses brought by Shopkeeper Ye Niangzi also echoed what these two maids said.
All claimed Shopkeeper Ye Niangzi did not ask Wei San to accompany guests for wine.
