Chapter 506: Licking a dog? Licking to the end 1 Nothing left
"Pei Zong Zheng, you are just a coward. You have no ability except flattery. If you have the ability, then kill me!" Shen Youran thought. Based on her understanding of him, he definitely didn't have the courage to kill her.
"Then I will grant your wish. You said that you would be with me and nothing would happen, but you looked down on me and enjoyed the feeling of being pursued by me. It's really hateful. You were saying sweet words to me in the last second, and threw yourself into the arms of King Rui in the next second. You are a fickle woman." The sword against Shen Youran's neck exerted force lightly, and blood oozed out. Pei Zongzheng saw the blood on her neck and became more excited. He lowered his head to lick a little and became even more bloodthirsty.
"Get out of here! Prince, save me!" Shen Youran began to struggle. She finally felt scared.
“Prince Rui, did you save Shen Youran from the lake that day? Have you ever thought about why she appeared in the lake? Hahahaha!” Pei Zongzheng had already lost his mind and shouted at the struggling Shen Youran: “Don’t move, or I’ll kill you.”
Prince Rui's face became more and more ugly. Although Pei Zongzheng's words were overturned in the end, it was true that he saved Shen Youran in the lake. What he said was not completely true, but it was impossible to be completely false. If this matter was really as he said, Shen Youran would have a reason to fall down the stairs and then put the blame on her sister. He didn't dare to think further. The seeds of doubt took root in Prince Rui's heart.
"Pei Zongzheng, tell me why you are like this. She doesn't like you, but she has been playing you around. You have been wishful thinking for so many years, thinking that you two are in love. You are even more love-minded than Wang Baochuan who was picking wild vegetables. You are just a dog who licks until you have nothing.
Now that you have seen her true face, you still don't give up, and you want to die for her? Have you ever thought about the Earl's Mansion, your mother and sister? If I were you, I would put down the sword now and walk out, work hard and live like a human being, let her regret it, and then cry and beg you to forgive her. "Yao Qingnian couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out directly. She was not a saint giving Pei Zongzheng spiritual chicken soup here, she was just worried that he would kill someone and implicate herself.
Pei Zongzheng loosened the strength in his hands after hearing his words. At that moment, the officer next to him found the right opportunity, took the sword from his hand, and subdued the man. In the end, he was able to escape without any danger.
Pei Zongzheng glanced at Yao Qingnian twice and was then taken away by the officials. He was really blind at the beginning. He gave up a girl as clear-headed and straightforward as Miss Shen and fell in love with a pretentious woman like Shen Youran. Her words just now made him motivated. He made up his mind to live for himself and his family in the future, shoulder the burden of the family, and carry forward the Earl's Mansion. After the people left, the normal order was finally restored in the court.
"Well, after my trial and investigation, I have found that Miss Shen did not murder Concubine Shen. I have declared her not guilty and released her on the spot.
As for Concubine Shen, she had a miscarriage by falling down the stairs on purpose, and then she slandered and put the blame on Miss Shen, committing the crime of false accusation. Fortunately, no serious consequences were caused, so according to the law, she was sentenced to 30 strokes of the cane in court as a warning to others.
All other charges are not established. Your Majesty, Duke, do you think this is a proper way to deal with it? "Lord Lu announced the final result of the investigation and asked Duke Chen and King Rui.
"Lord Lu is an honest official who handles cases impartially. I will report the truth to the emperor." Duke Chen said.
Prince Rui didn't say anything, nor did he look at Shen Youran again. He left with a sullen face. He felt extremely humiliated today and didn't have the face to stay any longer. His concubine had an affair with someone else, and the child might not be his. He kept thinking about these two things and what Pei Zongzheng said in his mind.
"Prince! Prince!" Shen Youran wailed, but Prince Rui left without looking back.
Shen Youran was dragged away and given thirty strokes of the cane. No one dared to plead for her. Shen Wenting watched this scene from a distance, his face also extremely ugly. How could a good thing turn out like this? Youran's child... could it really not be Prince Rui's? Youran was so well-behaved, it was impossible. Pei Zongzheng must have slandered her. Now no one believed her. As her father, he must stand by her side and support her.
After Shen Youran was beaten, someone sent her back to Prince Rui's mansion, but no one cared about her life or death, and Prince Rui never even looked at her again. She showed resentment in her eyes.
After Yao Qingnian was released on the spot, she followed the old Duke Chen back to the Duke's Mansion. Chen Shuhua and the others had already been waiting at the door. When they saw her come back, they prepared firecrackers at the door. The crackling sound was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
"Qing Nian, you're back! I heard that you were arrested. I was so worried. It was so hard to make sure that Nian Ran was fine, but now something happened to you. I'm so worried all day long. Come on, jump over the fire basin to get rid of the bad luck."
"Okay! Oh my god, I got it!" Yao Qingnian gently stepped over the brazier they had prepared.
"Today is a good day. Now that Qing Nian's problem has been solved, it's time to solve the big problem in our family."
"What's the big deal, Grandfather?" Yao Qingnian looked confused.
"I was just worrying about what excuse I could make to make him cross out your names. I was thinking that if all else failed I would just steal his family tree. Unexpectedly, God opened his eyes and Shen Wenting actually kicked you out. Then you can't blame me. I didn't do anything. He didn't want me, but I did. What great children! Our family suddenly has three. Oh, I have to laugh even in my dreams. No, I can't wait a moment. Butler, go and call the elders over, open the ancestral hall, and add the children's names." Old Duke Shen happily prepared to go.
"Children, your grandfather is of this character. He doesn't behave properly in front of the younger generations, making you laugh at him!" Old Madam Chen was also very happy. She said with a smile, and the family returned to their usual laughter and joy.
Soon, the elders came over and added the names of Shen Nianran and Shen Jinghong to the Chen family's genealogy. As for Yao Qingnian, she said that as long as everyone remembered her, it would be fine. She had a husband and children, and after things were settled, she would still return to Anding County.
Everyone also respected her wishes and told her that if she was bullied or anything else, she could come back at any time. The door of the Duke's Mansion was always open to her.
The family gathered together and had a lively meal. Now there was only one thing left, which was to find out the truth about the abduction...
