Chapter 60
Ye Jingyue didn’t know how destructive her words were.
Gu Jingchen was standing in the crowd, looking at her with burning and shocked eyes.
In this era of imperial supremacy, the people and officials are of different levels.
The people can only swallow the bad things and evil deeds done by officials.
They protect each other, and the only ones who are violated and hurt are always ordinary people.
Among them, women are more hurt.
Many women have to face all kinds of rumors, humiliation and slander after being hurt. Their innocence is lost, and what awaits them is not sympathy and justice, but humiliation and persecution.
As a woman, no matter why you have lost your innocence, even if you were forced to do it, you are shameless and you must die. Your survival is a disgrace to the clan!
This is also the reason why many women swallow their anger after being persecuted.
They just want to live.
The father of Xiaoyu, who is going to be drowned in the pond today, is a teacher, and her mother is also a doctor. They usually teach their daughter to distinguish right from wrong.
Xiaoyu is also a hot-tempered person.
She knows that she is not wrong, and those bullies are wrong.
She wants to seek justice for herself!
However, this road to justice is full of difficulties.
It is not something that a little woman like her can fight, resist, and defy fate.
She is desperate.
Maybe death is the only relief.
But the appearance of Ye Jingyue illuminates her like a ray of light.
It gives her hope.
"Get out of the way, everyone!"
"I want to see who is meddling in other people's business."
"I will teach you a lesson!"
The crowd was pushed aside, and three well-dressed and well-mannered people came with a dozen ferocious servants, each holding a tool in their hands.
The three people walked directly in front of Ye Jingyue, and when they saw Ye Jingyue's beautiful face, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh! It turns out that you are still a beautiful girl!"
Zheng Hao's voice rose several degrees, and his eyes were obscene.
The other two people behind him also looked at Ye Jingyue with lustful eyes.
Ye Jingyue is beautiful, otherwise she would not have been favored by the fifth prince. She has
a standard melon-seed face, round and bright almond eyes, and small, cute and delicate facial features. She is likable just by standing.
The three men did not hide their vicious looks at all, which showed that they had done this kind of thing too many times and did not feel any shame or guilt at all.
Anyway, they were rich and powerful, and ordinary people were just ants in their eyes, and they could be crushed to death at will.
Zheng Hao waved his hand directly at the clan leader.
"Hurry up, sink her first. If you keep hesitating, be careful of the fields of your whole village next year!"
The clan leader's face turned the color of liver, and he took a look at the little fish in the ground cage, and finally could only sigh.
"Sink it."
The little fish's mother cried and begged for mercy.
"Master Zheng, please let Xiaoyu go! We won't sue, we really won't sue! We'll move out right away, please spare Xiaoyu's life!"
Zheng Hao kicked her away mercilessly.
"If she dares to go to the Imperial City to sue me, I will kill her to scare the monkeys! Let you see who owns Qingyun City! I want to see who dares to disobey me in the future!"
Zheng Hao's eyes were full of disdain.
"It's her honor that I fell in love with her, and it's the blessing of your ancestors to have the honor of having a love affair with me! You dare to sue me, I tell you, my father is the Shangshu! You bastards still want to sue me, I will kill you!"
Zheng Hao looked at Ye Jingyue with a smile.
"Little beauty, you are so pretty. Come on, I will treat you to dinner. We will have fun after dinner."
Shangshu
Ye Jingyue smiled.
She said that Zheng Hao looked familiar with his sly eyes. It turned out that it was not her illusion.
Shangshu, surnamed Zheng
Ye Jingyue looked at him with a smile: "Your father is Shangshu, right? Shangshu Zheng?"
Zheng Hao's face was full of pride.
"There are still a few Shangshus in the imperial city, of course it is Shangshu Zheng."
Ye Jingyue blinked: "If your father is Shangshu Zheng, then do you know that your father is going to be exiled? He should be on his way to exile now. What, you are his son, and he didn't take you with him!"
Zheng Hao's face was condensed.
"What nonsense are you talking about! My father is Shangshu Zheng! He is a favorite of the emperor, how could he be exiled!"
Ye Jingyue turned her head and looked at Gu Jingchen in the crowd, her voice clear.
"Cousin, Lord Dali Temple Minister, I was right about the news that Shangshu Zheng will be exiled, wasn't I?"
Gu Jingchen walked out of the crowd.
His slender figure was like a banished immortal, his temperament was noble and dignified, and it was obvious that he was from a royal family.
The others were not as good as Gu Jingchen, but they were all scared when they heard Ye Jingyue say "Dali Temple Minister".
Zheng Hao was shocked when he saw Gu Jingchen's face, his face turned pale as paper, and his legs were shaking.
"Dali...Prince Gu!"
Zheng Hao is the illegitimate son of Minister Zheng and his concubine. Minister Zheng doesn't think highly of him, but he doesn't look down on him either. He raises him in Qingyun City, Lincheng, and gives him all the good life, allowing him to run rampant in Qingyun City.
As long as Minister Zheng doesn't fall, he can be his umbrella for life.
He and Minister Zheng only meet once or twice a year.
Once when he went to the imperial city to see Minister Zheng, he met Gu Jingchen riding a tall horse. Gu Jingchen had a heavenly appearance, the demeanor of a superior, and a noble air of being untainted by the dust.
At that time, Minister Zheng told him that he could do whatever he wanted in Qingyun City, but he must not meet Gu Jingchen, otherwise he would have nothing to clean up.
He didn't take it seriously at the time.
Although Qingyun City is not far from the Imperial City, it is not close either, and it is not easy for news to be transmitted.
