Chapter 407: False accusation, Yingcao dies to prove her innocence
Shen Wenting had long sensed that something was wrong. He seemed to be out of control that day, but the situation at the time did not allow him to think too much.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that the matter was suspicious, so he asked a doctor to check, and sure enough, they found traces of drugs in his body. However, since there was no evidence and he was caught on the spot, he had no way to defend himself, so the matter could only be blamed on him.
Worried that the situation might change, he had already made preparations for both scenarios afterwards, just to prevent anyone from making a fuss about it. Unexpectedly, it really happened to him.
Shen Wenting's witness was the Shen family's groom Monkey. Monkey was just like his name, skinny, but his eyes were rolling around with a bit of cunning.
"Sir, my name is Monkey, and I am the groom of the Shen Mansion. Yingcao used to sweep the backyard. She is pretty. We were in the same backyard, and we occasionally helped each other with work. We fell in love with each other and often interacted with each other privately.
But I saw her getting close to the steward in the mansion several times. Maybe she bribed the steward or used some tricks to make the master take a fancy to her and promote her to serve him.
From then on, she despised me for being a small groom with no future, and wanted to climb up the ladder with the master. She also told me that if she became a concubine in the mansion in the future, she would never treat me badly, and asked me to keep our affair to myself and not tell anyone.
But I really loved her, and I didn't want to watch her jump into the fire pit and destroy the relationship between the master and the mistress. I tried to persuade her many times with all my heart, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She also told me not to meddle in other people's business. That day she said that she would soon become the mistress of the mansion, and asked me to wait and see.
Unexpectedly, something like that happened at night. The Madam and the Old Madam caught her and the Master together. I guess she must have drugged the Master to frame him."
"Monkey, what are you talking about? You and I just work together in the Shen Mansion, and we have never spoken to each other. When did we fall in love with each other?!" Yingcao was dumbfounded. She was not familiar with the groom Monkey at all, and he had even bullied her together with those managers. This must have been arranged by Shen Wenting!
"I'm not talking nonsense, you are obviously pregnant with my child!
The master was framed by you and had no way to defend himself and was misunderstood by the lady. It was me who begged the master to spare your life. The master did not bear grudges and let me take you away from the Shen Mansion, the farther the better.
But you didn't give up and wanted to go back to continue to harass the master. You ran away halfway and even strangled our child in your stomach. You have such a cruel heart!
Even now, you still don't admit your mistakes, Yingcao, as long as you admit your mistakes to the master now, he won't blame you, and I can also let bygones be bygones, let's go back together and find a place where no one is, okay?" The monkey looked at Yingcao sincerely.
Everyone present was moved by his deep affection. She was a lowly maid who didn't live a good life with the groom and went to seduce the master. If it were them, they would have beaten her to death long ago. Shen Wenting was kind and let her go, but she did not repent for her wrongdoing and even went to the court to complain about the master. She was too vicious. Such a bitch should be thrown into a pig cage.
If it wasn't for the fact that Yao Qingnian personally rescued the person, she would have believed what the groom said. Shen Wenting was really a shrewd man and had already left a way out for himself. He was really cruel and had turned black and white upside down.
"Haha! In my darkest hour, Shen Wenting illuminated me like a ray of sunshine, but I knew that I was just a lowly slave, and he was not someone I could ever dream of, so I always stuck to my duty and never thought of seducing him or having any other thoughts.
He took me when he was drunk. Afterwards he said sorry and said he would be responsible for me. From then on, I followed him wholeheartedly.
Facing the kind lady, I once wavered, but I could not resist Shen Wenting's temptation, so I made a big mistake. When the life in my belly came, I had already planned to retreat. That night, I was ready to confront him and leave alone with the child, away from the disputes. How could I drug him? "Yingcao laughed.
"You must want to use the child to threaten me! You drugged me because you were afraid that others wouldn't believe you!" Shen Wenting said angrily. This girl actually dared to contradict her openly. If she had stood on Chen Shuhua's side, she should have known that this would be the outcome.
"I have never had any contact with Monkey. He took Shen Wenting's money and said these things against his conscience. I have no way to defend myself, but I swear that I have never had any contact with him. My child is Shen Wenting's! Ha! Everyone, please don't trust Shen Wenting easily. He is a selfish and cruel person. He doesn't love anyone but his power, money and status. We are just useless pawns in his hands and can be discarded at any time.
I really regret why I didn't see your true face earlier, but I'm just a slave, what difference does it make if I recognize your true face? !
Madam, I'm sorry. It was my fault. You have been so good to me over the years and never suspected that I was sent by Shen Wenting to monitor you. But I have betrayed your trust. I hope that in the future you can see the true face of this man and not be deceived by him again.
Haha, Shen Wenting, evil will be punished, and God is watching. I curse you to die a miserable death! "Yingcao's eyes were red, and the anger in her heart was burning like a raging flame. After saying that, while everyone was not paying attention, she quickly slammed into the pillar beside her, making a "bang" sound, and blood splattered on the spot. No one expected this scene, let alone stopped it.
"Yingcao!" Chen Shuhua exclaimed, walked over to her side and helped her up: "Why are you so stupid? If you die, won't the people who bully you be even more proud? Sometimes it takes more courage to live than to die."
"Madam, I did something wrong and I deserve it. I'm here to say sorry to you! I... will die without regrets." After saying this, Yingcao died.
"Quick! Call a doctor!" Lord Lu did not expect that this girl had such a bad temper. She suddenly hit her head against a pillar. When the doctor came, she was already dead.
Every word she just said seemed to echo in the air with endless resentment. She proved her innocence with her death. Everyone was shocked by Yingcao's death again and started discussing it again.
"Could it be that she was really wronged?"
"Yes, otherwise why would she choose to commit suicide by hitting her head against the wall?"
"The affairs of the Shen family are really complicated. It's this and that. What is the truth?" The people didn't know who to trust. For the time being, they maintained a neutral attitude and waited for the results of Lord Lu's investigation.
