To clear her father's name, Shen Chu cross-dresses as a man, passes the imperial examination to become the top scholar, serves as an imperial censor, and investigates old cases.
She moves...
Chapter 77 His Highness's precise knife skills are all thanks to his excellent potato shreds.
The next second, Pei Yuan raised his knife and made a precise cut.
The third prince screamed and was knocked unconscious again. A long piece of something flew out, wrapped in a strip of cloth, and rolled to the side.
puff.
Startled by this sudden turn of events, Shen Chu took a sip of water and quickly held her breath again.
She suddenly realized that Hongxiu's answer was not accurate.
For a lustful man, what could be more painful than being unable to have sex?
The answer is here.
That means even the tools of humanity are gone! Utterly useless.
Good heavens! Pei Yuan actually castrated the Third Prince himself!
Are they brothers?
But, I have to say, the way he wielded the knife was incredibly satisfying!
Shen Chu puffed out her cheeks as she watched Pei Yuan stand up and toss the dagger to Sun Yan.
He narrowed his peach blossom eyes, looked expressionlessly at his blood-covered hand, and a bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Even in the water, Shen Chu could inexplicably sense the low pressure emanating from him.
Why did this guy castrate the Third Prince?
Did the Third Prince offend him?
Or was Pei Yuan taking revenge for the Third Prince's harassment of him during the day?
Shen Chu was startled by her own sudden thought and quickly shook her head, dismissing the absurd idea.
Given Pei Yuan's dislike for her, how could he possibly help her get revenge?
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water came from above.
She looked up and saw Pei Yuan squatting on the shore, slowly washing the bloodstains on his hands with lake water.
The lake water was stained with dark red blood, and wisps of red blood drifted down.
Shen Chu was disgusted and couldn't help but spit out a string of bubbles.
Splash!
The next moment, a large hand grabbed Shen Chu's collar and lifted her out of the water.
When Chen Chu met Pei Yuan's cold eyes in mid-air, her mind went blank.
Oh no, I've been caught again.
"Young Master Shen, what are you doing here?"
Sun Yan looked at Shen Chu, who had been dragged out by Pei Yuan, with a surprised expression.
With her hair still wet, she waved her little hand and chuckled, "Would you believe me if I said I came here to take a bath because it's too hot?"
Sun Yan shook his head. "I don't believe it."
Shen Chu hung her head dejectedly and pleaded with Pei Yuan in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, could you please put me down first?"
Pei Yuan stared intently at her.
Because of the close proximity, Shen Chu could clearly sense that he was looking at her entirely by sound.
If you look closely, you can still see that his eyes are not focused.
After waiting for a while, she saw that Pei Yuan not only did not put her down, but instead lifted her up a little more.
Shen Chu was being dragged along like a chick with its throat being choked, her two little legs dangling in mid-air, wishing she could kick Pei Yuan.
"What does Your Highness intend to do?"
"Did you put the sack over him? Did you beat him up?"
Shen Chu neither admitted nor denied it, but instead argued vehemently, "You cut off my testicles."
She glared angrily at Pei Yuan, then realized he couldn't see her, and quickly said, "We're all in the same boat now, so nobody can pull anyone out."
"Is that so?" Pei Yuan smiled. "If I were to take you to the palace now and say that I discovered you abducting the Third Prince and castrating him during my night patrol, do you think His Majesty would believe me?"
meeting.
She had just been harassed by the Third Prince during the day. If it were said that she harbored resentment and intended to retaliate, and that Pei Yuan was the one who testified against her, His Majesty would certainly believe it.
Shen Chu gritted her teeth and said slowly, "If I am punished by His Majesty, no one will prepare calming medicine for Your Highness, and no one will deliver purses to Your Highness."
Tsk, wouldn't you say she's got Pei Yuan's lifeline?
Pei Yuan chuckled softly, his voice low and cold. "This prince hates being threatened the most."
Chen Chu chuckled, "Your Highness really has a lot of things you hate. You hate it when people haggle, you hate it when people self-harm, oh, and you even hate it when people touch you..."
Pei Yuan suddenly released her hand, interrupting her incessant chatter.
Chen Chu fell straight into the water.
She cursed under her breath, flipped in the air while stepping on the water, and landed steadily on the shore, looking at the unconscious Third Prince.
The third prince lay in a pool of blood, the marks of her brutal beating gradually spreading outwards, his face turning blue and purple.
As for the lower half, the pants had a round hole cut into them, the cut was neat and smooth, and looking further inside...
She couldn't help but sincerely praise, "Your knife skills are excellent."
Pei Yuan snorted, "I have plenty of experience. Saying it's two-tenths thick and cutting it into two and a half-tenths is an insult to my days and nights of practice."
Oh, you're getting all proud of yourself?
What should we practice? Slicing eggs or shredding potatoes?
Shen Chu said leisurely, "It's obvious that you usually cut potato shreds well."
Sun Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "How did Lord Shen know that His Highness likes to cut potato shreds when he can't sleep at night?"
Your Highness's knife skills are precise, all thanks to how well you shredded the potatoes.
Pei Yuan coldly swept his gaze over Sun Yan, "Get out!"
Sun Yan shut his mouth in grievance. In fact, he really wanted to suggest that His Highness could change the dish. The dish that they ate every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner was hot and sour shredded potatoes. He was almost sick of it, but he dared not say anything.
Shen Chu couldn't help but chuckle.
I couldn't help but imagine that scene in my mind.
Pei Yuan held a potato in one hand and a knife in the other, groping his way down the knife by feel.
I was blindly cutting potato shreds in the middle of the night...
Tsk, no wonder he could disguise it so well. No one noticed that he was night blind. He could even cut potato shreds. Who would believe that he was blind at night?
Shen Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Thinking about it this way, Pei Yuan doesn't seem so hateful after all.
"What are you laughing at?" Pei Yuan seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry. "Clean up the bloodstains on the ground. Don't let anyone know what happened here."
Shen Chu retorted, "Why should I clean it up? Don't you have guards?"
"Heh, my guards naturally have more important things to do. Since you said you're all in the same boat, then do your job."
What's important?
Shen Chu turned to look at Sun Yan.
Sun Yan shrugged. "His Highness told me to get lost."
But then I saw him pick up the Third Prince, roll away, and go.
Chen Chu.....
She continued to struggle, "The radish's job is to put down its roots, to put them firmly in place, so that no one can pull them out."
"Hmph, I could easily defeat you, why don't you try?"
Shen Chu was defeated because his martial arts skills were not as good as the other person's, his power was not as great, and his father was not as strong as the other person's father.
Resigned, she picked up an abandoned bucket from the bushes and used the river water to wash away the bloodstains on the ground.
Pei Yuan stood by the river with his hands behind his back, enjoying the cool breeze. He looked so content that if he had a small whip in his hand, he would have looked just like a foreman.
The young farmhand, Shen Chu, couldn't help but ask, "Where did you tell Sun Yan to take the Third Prince?"
What do you think?
How did she know? This guy's thoughts are unfathomable; who knows what he's planning to do to the Third Prince?
Chen Chu pouted and muttered under her breath, "Why are you so cruel to the Third Prince? Did he... you know... you know... you know... you know?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill down her back.
