Chapter 78: A Face That Kills His Wife
"There are so many handsome men in the Mirror Department that I can't even count them with one hand. How do you prove that Honglian likes you? Is it because of your frivolous face, or because of your insignificant two taels of flesh?"
Song Yunchu's words were full of contempt, "Everyone knows that Honglian is my confidant. If she wants a lover, there are countless people in the Mingjing Division waiting in line for her to choose. With your looks, you can only be her shoe carrier at best. Your face shape is only slightly attractive, with narrow eyes, thin lower lip, and prominent brow bones. You are definitely a wife-killer."
Yue Yang had not expected to be verbally humiliated by Song Yunchu like this, and his face immediately turned red.
He dared to slander Hong Lian for seducing him, naturally because he was handsome. There were many people who praised him for his handsomeness since he was a child, and Shen Yue obviously believed it just now.
Rather than being executed as a spy by Song Yunchu, he would rather fall into the hands of the Yulin Army. At least he would have a chance to defend himself and drag Honglian into the water. Even if he himself could not escape, it would be good for Song Yunchu to lose one of his confidants.
Unexpectedly, Song Yunchu came so quickly and humiliated his appearance in public.
What made him even more angry was yet to come.
"Mr. Song is right."
Chu Yuni echoed Song Yunchu's words, took a step forward, walked around Yue Yang, and shook her head.
"Not only is your face bad, your body is not good either, not as good looking as mine. I am stronger and fairer than you, and I am richer. I tried to get close to Honglian, but she ignored me. If she likes you, I will put my underwear on my head and run around the training ground ten times."
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'I'? Anyone with eyes can see that Bai Zhu and I are better than you. Any one of us is better than you. Not only did you release a snake in the Mingjing Division in the middle of the night, but you also tried to seduce Mr. Song's confidant with your insignificant two taels of meat. Honglian doesn't like you, so you stripped yourself down like this and embarrassed yourself. I'm not saying, you're...too despicable."
Song Yunchu and Chu Yunni's singing in unison made the Yulin Army sound a little unbelievable.
This is the first time I hear a man being described in such a lowly way. The people in the Mingjing Division speak so harshly.
Yue Yang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He stood up angrily and was about to hit Chu Yuni, but was kicked back to the ground by Bai Zhu and Chu Yuni.
After kicking him, Chu Yuni did not forget to pick up Song Yunchu's folding fan and handed it back to her.
Song Yunchu took the fan, looked at Chen Yue, and smiled, "I think what my subordinate said makes a lot of sense, what do you think, Lord Shen?"
"Master Shen, don't believe them. They are humiliating me just to protect Honglian!"
Yue Yang was filled with indignation, and begged Chen Yue, "Master Shen, please take us back together. I really have a hard time, and I want to talk to you in person."
"Why don't you just tell me what's bothering you now? Why do you have to talk to Lord Shen alone?"
Song Yunchu said slowly, "Unless - you are an undercover agent sent by Lord Shen to the Mingjing Division."
Song Yunchu knew that Chen Yue was the emperor's confidant and always put the emperor's interests first. To put it bluntly, this incident was a private matter within the Mingjing Division. She deliberately dragged Chen Yue into the water in her words. Chen Yue was a shrewd person. He was too lazy to cause trouble for himself when it had nothing to do with the emperor.
As expected, as soon as she said this, Chen Yue's face immediately darkened, "Sir Song, don't talk nonsense. I don't know this person at all! The Mirror Division is not under my jurisdiction. Why would I send someone in there as an undercover agent?"
Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows, "Are we really strangers?"
Chen Yue said coldly: "I am responsible for inspecting the palace. I came here to check when I heard the noise. Since they are all under Lord Song's command, Lord Song can deal with them as he wishes."
Although Chen Yue disliked Song Yunchu, he also understood in his heart that he and Song Yunchu were both working for the emperor, so there was really no need to argue over a nobody.
Even if Honglian really had an affair with someone in the palace, and Song Yunchu personally came forward to protect her, then he was the only one who could do so. Besides, Song Yunchu's statement was reasonable. Looking at Honglian's angry expression, she did not seem like a frivolous person.
Seeing that Chen Yue was about to leave, Yue Yang was immediately terrified, "Sir Shen, we are doing this in this important place of the imperial palace, which is so immoral, and you are just going to ignore it!"
Chen Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he turned around and started walking.
"Wait." Song Yunchu called out to Chen Yue, "Sir Shen has always been steady and prudent. I know you won't talk nonsense, but the people under you may not be the same."
She swept her eyes over the Yulin Army and said in a cool tone, "If I hear anything that damages Honglian's reputation from today onwards, I will blame you all. I will never tolerate anyone who gossips about me."
Chen Yue glanced at her indifferently, without refutation, and left with everyone.
After everyone walked a little further away, someone finally couldn't help but complain.
"Sir, Prime Minister Song is too arrogant. Our Yulin Army is not under his control, so why is he threatening us?"
"Yes, he was so rude to you. After all, you are someone His Majesty values."
Chen Yue said expressionlessly, "The spy just now was an outsider's spy. He was afraid that he would be killed without a complete body if he fell into the hands of Prime Minister Song, so he slandered Hong Lian and racked his brains to make me take him away. Prime Minister Song threatened you, but he was just protecting his own shortcomings."
When Chen Yue said this, he did not forget to warn his men, "We have no business interfering with the affairs of the Mingjing Division. It's not the first day you've known that Prime Minister Song is arrogant. We don't usually deal with them. Just take care of your own business and don't provoke them."
Unless His Majesty wants to deal with Song Yunchu, there is no need for him to go against Song Yunchu.
…
In the Mingjingsi prison cell, bright yellow flames flickered.
Honglian wielded the whip in his hand, beating the man tied to the wooden frame until his skin was torn and flesh was exposed.
"Tell me! Who is your mastermind? You dare to release snakes in Mr. Song's study. I think you are tired of living!"
Although everyone already had a suspect in their mind, evidence was required for everything. If they couldn't get a confession from this person, they would have no reason to cause trouble for Prince Yi.
Song Yunchu sat aside, drinking the hot tea that Bai Zhu had just brought.
The nostrils were filled with the unpleasant smell of blood.
She didn't like the smell, but she understood that she had to get used to it.
