"You were so eager to see him the moment he arrived, didn't you notice something?"

When Jun Jianchou saw Cen Xi trying to walk towards Shen Jinchen, he felt a pang of unease and grabbed her to stop her from leaving.

"They were injured for my sake, and I'm not one of those heartless people. Although I didn't care much about my life at the time, their heroic act really moved me."

Seeing that he was holding her hand tightly, Cen Xi was speechless for a moment before explaining.

“Cen Xi, I can do anything he did, why him of all people?”

Cen Xi thought he might be possessed. What kind of time was this? It was a joint trial, and he was still talking to her about all sorts of random things.

"Let go. In this situation, are you still going to talk to me about love and romance? If it weren't for you, I would be sleeping peacefully in bed right now. Why would I bother your father in the middle of the night to get things done? As for why it was him? Figure it out yourself. How would I know?"

Cen Xi shook off his hand and walked directly to sit down next to Shen Jinchen.

Shen Jinchen glanced at her and subtly took her hand.

Seeing Cen Xi approach Shen Jinchen and offer him words of comfort, Junzi glanced speechlessly at his son, shook his head in exasperation, and then sat down in the main seat.

"Miss Cen, now you can tell me, right? What wrong did those three do?"

"They spent a lot of money to hire these girls to try and humiliate me. Your Excellency, considering that you are Jun Jianchou's father and have been kind to Shen Lang, I tolerated the rumors you spread a few days ago. But tonight's events are truly intolerable. If I were in the past, these young ladies of your Jun family would have been dead long ago. But since they are staying in your mansion, I have to give them some face. So I brought them here to make you give me an explanation."

Seeing that the other person had asked directly, Cen Xi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cen Xi clearly felt Shen Jinchen tighten his grip on her hand, and his pale face turned icy.

At the same time, Jun Jianchou's face was also very ugly. It seemed that the monster in the manor was finally about to stir up trouble. He had thought that after his concubine died, his half-sister would finally calm down. It turned out that she was also someone whose identity was unknown.

"Release them first and let them tell you what happened. Miss Cen, it's not that I don't believe you, but you must tell me. There must be a plaintiff and a defendant. They must be given a chance to explain themselves. If what you say is true, I will not bend the law for personal gain, and I will give you the explanation you deserve."

Governor Jun sighed and then asked Cen Xi for his opinion.

“Okay, I’ve never been one to dictate things. Jun Xiaoqiao, and the rest of you, hurry up and untie them.”

Cen Xi responded, then turned to Jun Xiaoqiao and the other playboys.

Her action caused the governor at the head of the table to raise an eyebrow, his face showing surprise.

At the same time, Shen Jinchen and Jun Jianchou raised their eyebrows. Those four playboys were the lovers tonight.

Cen Xi not only prevented them from succeeding, but also drove them to do things. This ability is probably far beyond what the three women who were tied up could compare to.

"Alright! This is the boss's order, so hurry up! If you don't want to end up like marinated meat, then do your job properly."

Taking in the expressions of Governor Jun and the two male protagonists involved, Jun Xiaoqiao shouted and then swiftly untied Fu Jingyi's restraints.

Meanwhile, the four spoiled brats were already terrified by Cen Xi, trembling and not daring to hesitate for a moment.

The more you try to move quickly, the tighter you tie yourself down.

Looking at the four of them, Jun Xiaoqiao said with disdain, "What idiots, I'll do it."

Jun Xiaoqiao pushed those spoiled brats aside and quickly untied Jun Jianfang's ropes and removed the rag that was gagging her.

Of the three young ladies who were released, Jun Jianling was the most shrewish. As soon as she was released, she cursed, "You shameless whore, I'm going to tear you apart!"

After scolding, he wanted to get up and beat Cen Xi fiercely, but his force was not enough, so he was thrown away by Cen Xi with a sleeve of his sleeve.

“Your Excellency, you have seen it for yourself. Your daughter is being so unreasonable. I have no idea what I did to offend her that she would use such vicious words to insult me. If you want to know the truth, then ask! If Your Excellency is also unreasonable, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Cen Xi ignored Jun Jianling's insults and spoke directly to Governor Jun at the head of the table.

After he finished speaking, before Governor Jun could reply, Shen Jinchen, who had been silent since entering, coldly spoke up:

"She is the only wife I have ever chosen. She has been wronged, and I will naturally seek justice for her. Governor Jun, you should think carefully before you reply."

“I don’t think there’s any need to investigate anymore, Father. I’ve said before that I should discipline this half-sister properly, but you never took it to heart. Today, Father, make a decision. I see that she has a sharp tongue and a vicious heart, so just poison her to make her mute, and then marry her off to anyone else.”

When Jun Jianchou heard Shen Jinchen openly mention the word "wife," he felt inexplicably displeased. Was he trying to support Cen Xi?

Hmph! Is it necessary? Chen Xi is far more important to Jun Jianchou than his sister and father. He doesn't need to interrupt; he can resolve this matter perfectly today.

"this……"

Governor Jun looked at her only son and hesitated. After all, Jun Jianling was also her daughter. Even though he didn't like her, there was still some blood ties between them. A look of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"Father, have you forgotten how my mother died? Look at this girl, doesn't she look a lot like my aunt? If you continue to indulge her, I'm afraid she will ruin her reputation in her later years. If you can't bear it, Father, you can go back to your room and rest. I will handle this."

Seeing his father hesitate, Jun Jianchou seized the initiative and spoke coldly.

"I!"

Governor Jun wanted to argue further, but when he thought of his deceased wife, he ultimately remained silent.

"Ah-Xi, what do you think of this?"

Seeing that his father had finally compromised, Jun Jianchou then asked Cen Xi for his opinion.

"Okay, well, but before you deal with her, I need to ask her why she plotted against me. You step aside for now. In the coming days, I will ask these three ladies in front of everyone why they spread rumors and then have to tarnish my reputation, since we've never even met."

"Alright! I'll leave it to you now. You can handle it as you see fit. I don't think Father and Prime Minister Shen have any objections."

After Jun Jianchou responded, he turned to ask Governor Jun and Shen Jinchen.

Governor Jun closed his eyes, his face contorted with embarrassment, and nodded in agreement. Shen Jinchen merely glanced at Jun Jianchou without speaking.

"Alright, since you've all agreed, I'll begin with the questions. Your name is Jun Jianling?"

Since the head of the household had agreed, Chen Xi raised the whip in his hand and tapped it lightly twice on the marble floor before asking.

"What I call myself is none of your business, Father. Are you just going to stand by and watch this woman humiliate me like this?"

Jun Jianling spat at Chen Xi, then directly questioned Governor Jun, who was sitting at the head of the table.
