The severed palm fell to the ground, staining the area with blood.
The onlookers were so scared that they stepped back one after another.
Eunuch Zhou screamed in pain, fell off the carriage, and curled up on the ground, rolling around.
Seeing this, Shen Haoyue snorted coldly and retracted his gaze.
Looking at the blood-stained sword, he threw it aside in disgust.
He has always been a germaphobe, so since the sword was stained with blood, he naturally had to throw it away.
In fact, when he was at the Shen family just now, he wanted to cut off the dead eunuch's hands.
He didn't want to dirty the Shen family's floor, so he endured it.
But unexpectedly, this dead eunuch was still ignorant of life and death, and dared to point at Shen Ningyuan's nose in public.
This is intolerable!
If you don’t want your hand anymore, just chop it off!
Chen, who was in another carriage, immediately lifted the curtain after hearing the screams outside.
After seeing the severed palm on the ground, he was so frightened that he lowered the curtain and trembled in the carriage.
"Crazy, crazy, the Shen family is really a bunch of crazy people, lawless!"
As he said this, Chen put his hands together and silently chanted "Amitabha" in his heart.
When Ji Zehai saw the cut on Eunuch Zhou's wrist, from which large streams of blood kept oozing out, he was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ji Zehai pointed at Shen Haoyue tremblingly, "You..."
Halfway through his words, Ji Zehai realized something and quickly retracted his hand.
She demanded in a trembling voice, "Eunuch Zhou is close to the Empress. How could you cut off his hand? How do you want me to explain this to the palace?"
This was the person he had specifically asked the Queen Mother for in order to put pressure on the Shen family.
If anything happened to Eunuch Zhou, he would also be to blame.
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai's heart was in a mess.
Why is it that whenever he encounters the Shen family, he is always the one who suffers?
"How to explain this to the palace is your business, not mine." Shen Haoyue snorted coldly, "Anyone who is rude to Yuan'er deserves death!"
Shen Haoyue deliberately emphasized the last sentence, which made Ji Zehai's heart tremble.
He had no choice but to turn his attention to Eunuch Zhou and help him up from the ground.
"Eunuch Zhou, are you okay?"
“I’m not okay!”
After standing up, Eunuch Zhou took several breaths of cold air and looked at Shen Haoyue in horror, “Shen Haoyue, you are just a weak scholar, how can you know martial arts?”
Hearing this, Shen Haoyue raised his eyebrows slightly.
He comes from a family of generals, so it would be strange if he didn't know martial arts.
It's just that he has been good at writing since he was a child, so everyone subconsciously assumes that he doesn't know martial arts.
Thinking of this, Shen Haoyue raised his brows even higher.
He cupped his hands, clasped his fists, and performed a martial arts salute, saying, "I am not very talented. Although I am just a scholar, I know a little about boxing. I am not as strong as my eldest brother in martial arts. I am sorry to have made fun of you all."
Seeing his smirking face, Eunuch Zhou was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He roared angrily, "Just wait, I won't let this go!"
As he said this, Eunuch Zhou took Ji Zehai's hand and climbed onto the carriage tremblingly.
Seeing Ji Zehai standing in front of the carriage like a fool, motionless, Eunuch Zhou kicked him in the heart.
"What are you still standing there for? Pick up my hand and go back to the palace to ask the imperial physician to reattach it!" Eunuch Zhou pointed at the severed palm on the ground with his intact hand and shouted tremblingly.
Ji Zehai was kicked and fell to the ground. He didn't care about the piercing pain in his body. He crawled and rolled to the place where his palm was broken and reached out to pick it up.
But at this moment, a large silver-gray wolfhound suddenly appeared from somewhere, bit the severed paw on the ground, and then rushed into the crowd of onlookers.
Eunuch Zhou sat in the carriage, watching this scene with his own eyes, his heart feeling like it was being fried in oil.
He immediately pointed in the direction the dog had left, howling, "Ahhhh my hand, my hand, what are you still standing there for? Go and take my hand back!"
After saying this, Eunuch Zhou's men immediately chased after the dog.
But they had not walked far when the dog came out from another direction, put the severed paw in its mouth on the ground, and stared at Eunuch Zhou motionlessly.
It seems to be asking: Are you looking for this hand?
Eunuch Zhou suddenly became even more anxious. He immediately turned around and continued to shout, "Over there, over there, that dead dog is over there. Hurry up and take your hand back!"
Hearing Eunuch Zhou's shout, the dog picked up the severed hand again and quickly ran into the crowd.
By the time Eunuch Zhou's men pushed through the crowd and chased after the dog, the dog had disappeared.
Eunuch Zhou's face turned even paler than before, and he mumbled, "My hand...was taken away by a dog?"
It was quiet all around, and no one responded to Eunuch Zhou's words.
The onlookers had different expressions on their faces after watching this farce.
In full view of everyone, Eunuch Zhou's eyes widened and he fell straight into the carriage.
Ji Zehai quickly got up and rushed over to check on Eunuch Zhou.
After confirming that he was fine and just fainted, Ji Zehai breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly called his men and sent Eunuch Zhou back to the palace for treatment.
Shen Haoyue watched this scene coldly, his face was cold and expressionless.
But when he turned his gaze to Shen Ningyuan, his expression immediately softened.
Shen Haoyue asked gently, "Yuan'er, I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
He was afraid that Shen Ningyuan would feel uncomfortable if she saw such a bloody scene.
Shen Ningyuan sat in the carriage and shook his head calmly, "Second brother, I'm fine."
"That's good." Shen Haoyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Ji Zehai again, his eyes returned to their previous coldness.
"Today, the Ji family must clear your name!" Shen Haoyue emphasized through gritted teeth.
Shen Ningyuan responded softly: "Of course."
The Ji family wants to use rumors to force her to submit, but she will let them know what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.
At this time, seeing the people in the palace taking Eunuch Zhou away, Ji Zehai was still very anxious.
Turning around and looking at the expressionless Shen Haoyue, he couldn't help but shudder again.
After some psychological preparation, Ji Zehai still walked towards Shen Haoyue with his head held high, trying to pressure him with what had just happened.
"My dear nephew, you see that things have become like this. Why don't we go back to the Ji family quickly and not let these people laugh at our two families?"
Shen Haoyue snorted coldly and did not respond to Ji Zehai. He just bent down slightly, quickly drew out a guard's sword, and put it on Ji Zehai's neck.
Looking at Ji Zehai, whose face was pale, Shen Haoyue raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Master Ji, things have become like this. Do you think there is still any need for our two families to discuss things?"
"My sister's condition for returning to the Ji family is that the Ji family must publicly state the truth and clear her name." Shen Haoyue glanced at the onlookers on both sides of the street. "It's a good thing there are so many people here now, Lord Ji, you can start now."
As he spoke, Shen Haoyue pressed the sword down heavily, and blood immediately oozed out of Ji Zehai's neck.
