Zhao Ya turned her head to look at Chen Jie, her eyes sizing him up. For some reason, she always felt a sense of familiarity with the person before her.

At that moment, Chen Jie’s heart beat wildly with fear, yet his face displayed a calm smile, “Yes, Lord Yelu is correct; I come from Xiantao Town. That’s right, My Lord of the Commandery, when we met for the first time, I seem to have mentioned it to you.”

“Did you mention it?”

Zhao Ya felt a bit slow to recall, then remembered that Chen Jie did mention he was from Xiantao Town that day. However, back then, she was unaware that Ni Wenjun had been injured in Xiantao Town and had not thought in that direction.

Now that she knew, Chen Jiusi seemed somewhat suspicious.

Zhao Ya scrutinized Chen Jie from head to toe, her eyes filled with probing and doubt. Are you that little thief?

Zhao Ya stared at Chen Jie, who feigned a look of bewilderment with a surge of acting prowess.

“My Lord of the Commandery, why do you look at me in such a manner? There isn’t any soot on my face.”

Zhao Ya spoke to Chen Jie, “Brother Chen, since you come from Xiantao Town, let me ask you, does your town have those dark and damp cellars, which should be abandoned?”

Zhao Ya recalled that within the cellar, she had never heard the sound of anyone passing by, which meant that it shouldn’t be a place crowded with people, likely an abandoned location.

Chen Jie replied, “There are plenty of those. In these times, people are having a hard time, and many such abandoned, run-down houses exist. I just don’t know which one the Lord of the Commandery is referring to.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya thought for a moment and felt it would be difficult to find a breakthrough from here.

However, Zhao Ya thought of another question: Ni Wenjun would allow him to deliver her meals, which certainly meant that his relationship with Ni Wenjun was significant.

Therefore, it was very possible that Ni Wenjun would have given him a hand, so this man should be doing very well now.

With these thoughts, Zhao Ya asked, “Within the last year, who from Xiantao Town has mixed in the best circles?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was silent. Chen Jie bitterly smiled and said, “That would probably be me.”

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie, “Then do you know Ni Manzi?”

Chen Jie replied, “I’ve seen the government’s sea arrest warrant. He’s quite ugly.”

Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes and said, “Brother Chen, do you really not know Ni Manzi?”

Chen Jie replied, “My Lord of the Commandery, why would I deceive you? Lord Yelu can vouch for me; the main reason I’ve risen to my current status is thanks to my foster father Peng Shizhong, and my foster father was one of the people who captured Ni Manzi.”

Hearing this, Zhao Ya suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Jie’s right hand.

Chen Jie exclaimed, “My Lord of the Commandery, men and women should not touch; why are you doing this!”

Everyone else was also surprised, not understanding why Zhao Ya would suddenly grab Chen Jie’s right hand.

Ah Da and the other two who were seated with their hands down also instantly stood up, with Lord Yelu looking at Chen Jie and the Commandery Princess in confusion, not understanding what was happening.

At this moment, Zhao Ya, holding Chen Jie’s right hand, showed an inquisitive look on her face, “Brother Chen, I’m giving you one last chance. If you tell the truth, I guarantee I won’t treat you harshly. But if you lie and I find out, think carefully about the consequences.”

Chen Jie’s face timely showed panic, yet his heart was exceptionally calm.

Telling the truth? Only a fool would do that.

There’s a saying: “Confess to receive leniency, resist and you’ll spend New Year’s in prison.”

The most foolish act of mankind is to blindly trust in the promises of others, especially those from a woman.

You have no idea how strong a woman’s thirst for revenge can be. If I admit now that I’m the mysterious man who once made her wet her pants, Chen Jie felt that he would never have a good life again.

So, after showing the appropriate panic, he immediately put on an unjustly accused expression, “Lord of the Commandery, what do you want me to confess? I really don’t know anything!”

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, “Haha, not confessing? Very well. I’ll tell you I have evidence. I bit a scar on that little thief’s hand. With such solid proof, I’d like to see how you can argue your way out of this!”

Hmm?

Where’s the scar?

Zhao Ya raised her hand to look at Chen Jie’s right hand, then her brows furrowed tightly, because Chen Jie’s right hand was intact and white without any scars.

Zhao Ya, refusing to give up, searched carefully a couple of times, then lifted Chen Jie’s left hand to examine it as well, and yet she found nothing; there were no scars on either hand.

Was she mistaken?

Zhao Ya wore a baffled expression, as did Chen Jie on the surface, but inwardly he was secretly pleased. Do they really think I’m foolish? I spent so much on precious medicinal ingredients to make the scar removal ointment, not for it to be applied in vain.

Now my hands are scar-free.

With that thought, Chen Jie looked at the bemused Zhao Ya, “My Lord of the Commandery, may I withdraw my hand now?”

Hearing this, Zhao Ya let go of Chen Jie’s hand, and then with persistent disbelief, she looked at Chen Jie, “You really don’t know Ni Manzi?”

Chen Jie replied, “My Lord of the Commandery, I swear, I really don’t know any Ni Manzi.”

Zhao Ya sat down, and those around exchanged glances, thinking that she must have mistaken the person, and anticipating some significant revelation.

With that in mind, everyone settled back into their seats.

Lord Yelu, curious, asked, “My Lord of the Commandery, the little thief you’re looking for… What is it between you?”

Zhao Ya paused, looked at Lord Yelu, and thought, how should she put it? To say that she was humiliated by a boy back then, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to tell? Considering this, Zhao Ya spoke solemnly, “No issue, it’s just that someone aided me when I was trapped years ago, and I was thinking of finding an opportunity to thank him.”
