Chapter 499: Crime: murder of concubine and heir to the throne?
"Well, if I hadn't come, they would have arrested you. I don't want to see you in jail."
"Go to hell, can you expect something good from me?" Yao Qingnian rolled her eyes at him.
"Of course I hope you're well."
"You trust me so much, what if I really pushed her down?"
"That only means that she deserves it." Zi Ye Xiu always spoke coldly to others, but to her, his words were full of doting.
"Let's go and take a look. Don't let anyone get killed. Otherwise, I won't be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River."
Yao Qingnian also walked towards Shen Youran, followed by Prince Rui and Shen Wenting's men. However, with Zi Yexiu around, they didn't dare to do anything and could only follow from a distance.
When they arrived at Shen Youran's yard, Shen Wenting, Prince Rui and others were waiting anxiously at the door.
Seeing Yao Qingnian coming over, Shen Wenting said unhappily: "What are you doing here?!"
"I have to come and watch if you wrongly accuse me. If something happens later and I didn't see it, you will put the blame on me again." Yao Qingnian said softly.
"Miss Shen is really sharp-tongued. No wonder You Ran looked scared when she mentioned you. Even after you did such a thing to her, she was still protecting you before she fainted. You have such a cruel heart. Why did you want to hurt her when she was so good to you?" Prince Rui couldn't stand her disdainful look and his disgust for her increased a little more.
Apart from anything else, Shen Youran is really amazing. She had a bootlicker like Pei Zongzheng in front who would do anything for her, and now there is also the brainless Prince Rui. She is really capable.
"Prince Rui, it is better to present evidence when speaking. What is your intention in accusing me time and time again? People who know me may think that you love Concubine Shen, while people who don't know me may think that you have some deep hatred against me!" Yao Qingnian retorted.
Zi Yexiu stood beside her, accompanying her quietly. After a while, someone brought two stools over. He asked Yao Qingnian to sit down and wait.
"How dare you! You! The prince is still here! Evil girl, get up quickly!" Shen Wenting looked at the two of them sitting in the yard as if nothing had happened, and was furious. Seeing that the prince's face was not good, he hurriedly scolded Yao Qingnian.
"Do you have any objection to the stool that I moved for Miss Shen? What? You want to sit on it too?" Zi Ye Xiu took the tea bowl handed to him by his subordinate, took a sip, put it down and slightly opened his lips.
"Pavilion Master, I don't know what your relationship with Miss Shen is, but you are so protective of her!" Prince Rui looked at the two of them and tried hard to suppress his anger.
"What does it have to do with you?" Zi Ye Xiu said coldly.
"Zi Ye Xiu! Don't go too far! You are nothing but a despicable murderer, why are you so arrogant? You think you are so great just because my father gives you a little bit of praise!" King Rui roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow pierced the crown of his head.
"Protect the prince! There is an assassin!" The people under Prince Rui were startled and hurriedly stood in front of Prince Rui.
"Everyone says I'm a murderer, so you'd better be careful. Otherwise, next time the arrow will not hit your hair, but your head." Zi Ye Xiu looked at them steadily.
"You!" Prince Rui was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. This guy was too bold to actually attack him in public. For a moment, the courtyard was tense.
Shen Wenting didn't dare to utter a word. This man was the famous Ziye Pavilion Master, the big devil who killed people without blinking an eye? No wonder he was so arrogant, even King Rui didn't take him seriously. What was the relationship between this stinky girl and him? He hid aside. He couldn't afford to offend either of them, so it was better to stay away.
At this time, Shen Youran's door was opened from the inside and the doctor walked over.
"Doctor, how is You Ran?" they hurriedly walked up and asked.
"Your Highness, the child could not be saved. Please accept my condolences. As for Concubine Shen, she suffered a heavy hemorrhage and was lucky to be saved. She is weak now and needs to be observed and taken good care of." The doctor reported truthfully.
"The child is gone?"
"What a pity, it's a fully grown boy." The doctor shook his head.
"What did you say? It's a boy!" King Rui grabbed the doctor excitedly. When he heard that the child was a boy, his eyes were full of murderous intent. He grabbed the sword of the guard beside him and rushed towards Yao Qingnian: "I will kill you to pay for my child's life."
Yao Qingnian was sitting on the stool without dodging. Just as he was about to rush in front of Yao Qingnian, a breath of air knocked him to the ground.
"Prince, are you okay?" Shen Wenting hurried over to help Prince Rui up.
"She plotted to murder the concubine and the royal heir. Even if you are the leader of Zi Ye Pavilion, you can't protect her! Today, I will make her pay with blood." Prince Rui said with red eyes.
"Evil girl! You are really lawless now. Since you came back, you have made the Shen family restless. Not only did your mother and I get divorced, but our family has never had peace for a few days. I think what the master said is right. You are an absolute disaster star.
You have murdered your sister and the heir to the throne, and you are still stubborn and unrepentant. We in the Shen family cannot tolerate a vicious woman like you! Someone, please come here, open the ancestral hall, remove Shen Nianran from the family tree, and expel her from the Shen family. I will not have a daughter like her in the future!"
Shen Wenting was worried that Yao Qingnian would implicate him, so he hurriedly distanced himself from the matter and ordered his servants to invite the old lady over.
"Are you sure?" Yao Qingnian looked at him in surprise.
"I advise you that if you kowtow to your sister and apologize now, and ask for her and the prince's forgiveness, you may be able to save your life."
"Sister, what bad thing did you do to make father so angry? Tell me so I can make him angry too. Father's angry look is so funny, hehe..." Shen Jinghong ran in at this time.
"Look at what you've done to your brother!"
"I'm grown up now and I don't need anyone to take care of me."
"It's none of your business, go back to your yard." Shen Wenting asked him to leave.
"Father, I want to play with my sister."
"She is busy now and can't play with you. Someone, take the young master away."
"I'm not going! I want to accompany my sister." Shen Jinghong walked to Yao Qingnian's side.
"She is no longer your sister! She is disobedient and unfilial, and has harmed Youran. As a father, I will expel her from the family and remove her name from the family tree!"
"If she was kicked out of the family, where would she go?" Shen Jinghong asked puzzledly.
"Go wherever you want." Shen Wenting held his forehead.
"Where is that?"
"..."
"Where on earth are you going?"
"Get out!" Shen Wenting was angry, this fool.
"How do you roll? Father, why don't you show me how?"
"..." Shen Wenting felt that if he continued talking to him, he would become stupid.
"Dad! You are biased! Why do you only drive my sister out? No! I want to go with you too!" Shen Jinghong said angrily.
