Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 859
Shen Rang's mind was foggy and he couldn't think of anything. He only noticed that someone came to help him. The hand he touched felt like a man's, so Shen Rang assumed it was Huo Shu and followed him without thinking.
He didn't know where he was taken, but he entered a tent, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and soon a warm, soft body pressed against him.
Shen Rang frowned, alarm bells ringing in his mind, and he pushed the person away, shouting, "Who are you?!"
This could absolutely not be Huo Zhao.
If Huo Zhao were that proactive, he'd be laughing in his sleep.
Shen Rang used tremendous force, and Qi Jing was pushed so hard that she staggered several steps before she could barely stand up by holding onto the table.
Even so, Qi Jing's lower back hit the table, causing her considerable pain and bringing tears to her eyes.
Fearing exposure, she gritted her teeth, not daring to utter a sound, and walked towards Chen Rang again.
This time, Shen Rang didn't push her away, but his hand tightly gripped Qi Jing's neck.
As his grip tightened, Qi Jing's face turned increasingly red. She had no choice but to kick and punch desperately until Shen Rang finally let go.
But the next moment, Qi Jing pressed herself against Chen Rang from behind.
Shen Rang already had very little strength left, and after expending some energy, he could only support himself with one hand on the ground, letting the hand of the person whose appearance he couldn't see reach into his clothes.
Seeing that things were about to succeed, Qi Jing quickened her pace.
Just as Shen Rang was disheveled, the curtain was suddenly pulled open.
The leader's face darkened when he saw this.
He strode forward, pulled Qi Jing away from Shen Rang, and then lifted Shen Rang up.
Huo Shu had just stepped out of the tent when he saw the Empress coming towards him, followed by many officials' wives.
The Zheng family was among them.
Seeing her son in such a sorry state, Zheng's face turned deathly pale.
Huo Shu pursed her lips even tighter.
broken.
As expected, the Empress spoke up: "What happened? How did Shen Qing get so drunk and disheveled?"
No sooner had the empress finished speaking than a disheveled person ran out of the tent.
The man stumbled and fell, immediately kneeling beside Huo Shu and kowtowing: "Thank you for saving me, Your Highness! Thank you for saving me! But I have already lost my virginity to my cousin. If you take my cousin away, I... I can't live on!"
Huo Shu's body trembled, and he looked down at Qi Jing in disbelief.
They actually planned this far?!
Those who were unaware of the truth felt sympathy for Qi Jing after hearing her words.
Madam Zheng said coldly, "What can Zirong do to you in his current state? Besides, Zirong has always been self-controlled. We need to investigate carefully why he has become like this!"
Tears streamed down Qi Jing's face: "How could I, a young woman, use my own innocence to frame my cousin? That's my innocence!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng's face turned ashen, and she was speechless.
The Empress looked at Shen Rang, then at Qi Jing, and frowned, saying, "Regardless of the facts, the young lady has lost her innocence, that's undeniable. It just so happens that Zi Rong hasn't taken a concubine yet, so it's appropriate for this young lady to call Zi Rong 'cousin'."
Now, not only did Madam Zheng's face turn ugly, but Huo Shu's face also darkened completely: "Your Majesty, this matter is too strange. We don't even know the truth yet. How can you let a concubine enter the mansion so hastily?"
The Empress gave him a cold look: "The Prince of Yunnan's mansion is really arrogant, even questioning what I say."
