But if I mess up the wedding today...
The Shen family cannot afford this consequence.
Shen Cangyun closed his eyes, and finally compromised, gritting his teeth to persuade Shen Ruyi, "Ruyi, Jiaojiao's matter has nothing to do with Qinghua, Qinghua has also made things clear, you pick up the marriage certificate, if the child in Jiaojiao's belly is really proved to be Qinghua's, we will still have time to divorce."
"Now, we can't tear up the marriage certificate so casually without any evidence. After all, this is something that both parties agreed on, ordered by their parents and the matchmaker..."
Shen Ruyi looked at him, who obviously hated her to death, but still pretended to be nice to her. A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Who said there is no evidence?"
She glanced at Shen Cangyun and Shen Yu, "You and Gu Qinghua went to Jiaoyang Pavilion every day, but now you say they have nothing to do with each other. Are you sure that no one in the world has ever seen them having an affair except you guys?"
"you--"
Shen Cangyun was so angry that he glared, and a sense of guilt crept into his heart. He couldn't help but put a big hat on Shen Ruyi first, "Do you really have to collude with outsiders to frame your own sister?"
He also thought that the person Shen Ruyi was looking for was Rong Yan.
Therefore, he subconsciously glanced at Rong Yan's face.
Rong Yan sat quietly behind Shen Ruyi, seemingly just watching the show. In fact, judging from his previous two actions, if anyone present today wanted to attack Shen Ruyi, he would not let it go.
Shen Jiaojiao finally found an opportunity and started crying as Shen Cangyun said, "Sister, I know you don't like me, and I don't know how you got this child, but I really didn't have an affair with anyone else!"
She stumbled and fell to the ground, crying in grievance, "Maybe someone bullied me when I fainted from stomachache last time."
But in her heart, she really wished Gu Qinghua would die!
The man who once swore to be forever with her and was fickle-minded, now turns his back on her. When she becomes pregnant, he accuses her of being fickle and seducing others, and flatly denies that the child is his!
She originally thought that when Gu Qinghua abandoned Shen Ruyi and ran towards her, it was because she was charming and Gu Qinghua really liked her, so she was proud for a long time and deliberately showed off every time she saw Shen Ruyi.
But he didn't expect that this boomerang would fall on his head today.
Shen Jiaojiao's face felt hot.
But for now, she could only pretend to be pitiful and get away with it.
Wait until Mother Yuan brings people here, then make plans.
Shen Yu couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw her like this. He stood up and stared at Shen Ruyi and said confidently, "Ruyi, I can guarantee with my life that Jiaojiao really didn't do such a thing with Gu Qinghua. Although Gu Qinghua had been to Jiaoyang Pavilion before, you also said that he went with us. How could he do such a thing with Jiaojiao in front of everyone?"
"You can't collude with outsiders and throw dirty water on her."
Shen Yu also glanced at Rong Yan and Prince Yan, and said, "It is not the turn of other men to speak on the Shen family's affairs."
Shen Ruyi laughed when she saw him like this.
"Colluding with outsiders? Or with other men?"
With a curled mouth, Shen Ruyi glanced at Mu Rushuang and asked Shen Yu, "Then do you know why Sister Mu didn't look for you when she came home a few days ago?"
Unfortunately, the person she asked to testify was neither Rong Yan nor Prince Yan.
Shen Yu's face froze, "What do you mean?"
Suddenly, a bad feeling came over me.
Shen Yu couldn't help but turn his head and look at Mu Rushuang who was standing not far away. She was looking at him with a faint sneer on her face, and she looked at him as if she was looking at a clown.
Shen Yu felt like he was struck by lightning.
He fell in love with Mu Rushuang when he was sixteen, and now seven or eight years have passed. Although Mu Rushuang doesn't like him, they have been getting along better and better in the past two years. In addition, Mu Rushuang always comes to see Shen Ruyi, so there is still hope.
But after Shen Jiaojiao came, he spoke for Shen Jiaojiao, while Mu Rushuang stood on Shen Ruyi's side, and the two gradually had differences. He always thought about making an appointment with Mu Rushuang to have a good chat, and then propose marriage after the New Year.
So, when the guard said that Mu Rushuang had been here last time, he was secretly happy, thinking that Mu Rushuang was looking for him.
But I didn’t expect…
Shen Yu felt as if he had been hit on the head, staring at Mu Rushuang in a daze, "Miss Mu, you..."
Although he was concerned about Shen Jiaojiao's health and felt sorry for her, in his heart, Shen Jiaojiao could only be his concubine, or hide outside as a mistress, but could not be the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion openly.
The woman you play with in bed and the one you keep by your side are two different things. He likes someone like Shen Jiaojiao in bed, but that doesn't mean he is willing to take her with him to face the outside world.
But Mu Rushuang is different.
Mu Rushuang was the wife he had decided to marry in this life.
She was capable, had a good family background, and had achieved great success. She was the only female general in this dynasty and was a perfect match for him.
Mu Rushuang interrupted him, sneered and stepped forward, saying, "Mr. Shen, please don't dirty my last name. I asked for leave from the palace today mainly to tell you one thing."
"A few days ago, I heard that Shen Jiaojiao had a stomachache, so I went to the abbot of Huangjue Temple to ask for a bottle of stomach medicine, thinking of sending it to Shen Jiaojiao."
"Because the situation was urgent that day, I didn't look for anyone else, but went directly to Shen Jiaojiao's Jiaoyang Pavilion. But I didn't expect that when I went up, Gu Qinghua hugged Shen Jiaojiao, the two of them were like wolves and tigers, hugging each other and kissing, and Gu Qinghua's hand even reached into Shen Jiaojiao's clothes, and Shen Jiaojiao was naked!"
"Because of this, I was so angry that I smashed the medicine bottles."
Mu Rushuang looked at Shen Yu, "Master Shen, do you need me to find a witness? I wasn't the only one who went to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day!"
"you--"
Shen Yu was choked and speechless, and his heart was filled with pain and depression.
He really didn't expect that the "outsider who colluded with Shen Ruyi" he mentioned was actually Mu Rushuang, whom he had been thinking about day and night. Not only did Mu Rushuang run into Gu Qinghua and Shen Jiaojiao together, she also brought someone with her!
When everyone saw Shen Yu's reaction, they understood everything.
"What a wonderful drama," someone sighed, "It seems that everyone in the Shen family knew about the secret affair between Master Gu and Second Miss Shen. Then why did they come out to testify before? Wasn't this clearly an attempt to bully Shen Ruyi?"
"That's right. It was previously reported that Shen Ruyi was jealous."
"If you ask me, if I find people like Mr. Gu and Miss Shen, I will just let them go to the pig cage. Why are you jealous? They don't mind the dirt."
"That's because the family members are partial to one another. Didn't the clues appear at the last family reunion banquet? Everyone is partial to Shen Jiaojiao, so Shen Ruyi naturally has no way to defend herself."
"What is the truth?"
"When everyone takes the fake as real, the fake becomes real. Shen Ruyi was born in such a family. She is really unlucky for eight lifetimes."
"Yeah yeah!"
“…”
When Shen Cangyun heard these words, he felt his face burning and was extremely angry.
