The Second Prince wanted to strangle her to death. Finally, he stood up and pointed at the homeless man outside, saying coldly, "Come here, drag this liar out and chop him off!"
Just kill him and everything will go back to where it was!
But the homeless man was intentionally arranged by the Third Prince, how could he be killed so easily?
Even what to say and what not to say had been rehearsed in advance.
He froze when he came back to his senses, then pretended to protect himself, staring at the Second Prince and pretending to be afraid: "How do you know that I was just lying? She was with me that day! Even if you are a prince, you can't take human life lightly! Is there no law in the world?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Ruyi and said openly, "Logically speaking, since she and I are husband and wife, she should marry me! The Second Prince is clearly bullying me and wants to take my woman away!"
Shen Ruyi was disgusted by this person.
The others also had complicated expressions. "If Miss Shen's reputation is really tarnished by something like this today, the rest of her life will be ruined."
"I really didn't expect that today would be such a bloody day."
No one present is a fool.
How could a beggar break into the Shangshu Mansion openly, dare to speak wildly to the Second Prince, and slander the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion if there is no one secretly assisting and supporting him?
The wise man had already glanced at the third prince.
It was obvious that there was no one else present who could target the Second Prince in this way.
However, there is no evidence.
Without evidence, one cannot make any rash judgments.
Things that cannot be said are the same as if they did not exist.
Therefore, the Third Prince was not afraid of being watched by others, because even if a thorough investigation was conducted, it would be found that the person was brought by Mother Yuan, who was beside Shen Cangyun. What did they have to do with him, the Third Prince?
He laughed, glanced at the Second Prince and said, "Yes, Second Prince, you can't take human life lightly. No matter what you do, you still have to produce evidence, otherwise people will think that the royal family has no justice and bullies the weak."
The tone was also smiling.
The second prince was forced into a corner with no way to retreat, and he wanted to go up and slap the third prince.
But he just said one sentence, which is not a big deal. Whether there is any evidence of harming him or not, it will only make things more complicated and meaningless if we continue to argue about it.
The main person is still Shen Ruyi.
As long as he can control Shen Ruyi today, the Third Prince's plan will not succeed.
He narrowed his eyes, and finally glanced at Shen Ruyi, explaining to everyone: "The reason why I know he is lying is because after Ruyi took the Chinese medicine that day, I was the one with her!"
Isn’t Shen Ruyi’s reputation dirty?
It’s not difficult to break the beggar’s lies. He can do it himself.
He just didn't believe that the Third Prince could find evidence that he wasn't with Shen Ruyi. Besides, it was better for Shen Ruyi to have her innocence ruined by him than to be defiled by a beggar, right?
He believed that Shen Ruyi would not refute him at this time.
After all, if Shen Ruyi was with him, she could still be the second prince's consort, but if she was with that beggar, she would only become a lowly person.
The second prince sneered.
“…”
"My God, what the Second Prince said..."
No matter who was with Shen Ruyi that day, the Second Prince was sending a message by doing this: he was determined to get engaged to Shen Ruyi today, and no one could stop him.
Shen Jiaojiao was also stunned.
She also didn't expect that even at this point, she still couldn't dispel the Second Prince's obsession with Shen Ruyi. Could he be crazy?
Also, what’s so good about Shen Ruyi?
A surge of jealousy surged in Shen Jiaojiao's heart, and she couldn't help but say, "Second Prince, such a big thing can definitely be found out by investigating. I know you want to protect the barrier, but..."
No further words were said.
But the meaning was conveyed.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Shen Ruyi, "Miss Shen, who was with you in Zuixinlou that day, was it the beggar outside the door or the Second Prince?"
Shen Ruyi was once again forced into a dilemma.
Shen Ruyi had not expected that the Second Prince and his gang were obsessed with her to such an extent that the Second Prince actually lied in public.
But no matter what choice you make, it will be wrong.
She couldn't possibly choose the Second Prince, as that would mean she would be trapped in the same situation as in her previous life. If the Second Prince ascended the throne, she would still be dead.
But if you don't choose the second prince, that beggar will throw dirty water on you.
At that time, she will have no choice but to marry the beggar.
It has to be said that the second prince, the third prince, and their lackey Shen Jiaojiao are all very vicious.
However, she would not choose either of these two paths!
Shen Ruyi sneered and looked at the Second Prince. "If it was the Second Prince who was with me that day, then where was the Second Prince when I was being smeared in Zuixinlou? You like me so much, why didn't you come out and say something?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't see the Second Prince that day!"
Someone nodded in agreement.
Many people showed up that day to testify for Shen Ruyi, except the Second Prince.
It doesn't make sense that the Second Prince stood up at this time.
The Second Prince was embarrassed for saying something that was not true, but he could only bite the bullet and lie, "The Japanese prince has been watching you in secret. If you can't solve it yourself, I will come out..."
He looked at Shen Ruyi with deep affection in his eyes.
Shen Ruyi was amused by his acting.
Finally, she looked at Doctor Qi and said, "Since the Second Prince has said so, and Shen Jiaojiao has also vowed to do so, then today I propose that Doctor Qi choose one of the maids in the palace to check whether I am a virgin. No one will think this is inappropriate, right?"
For a moment, the Second Prince and Shen Jiaojiao were both stunned.
No one expected that Shen Ruyi would actually ask for a physical examination to prove her innocence, and she even directly mentioned the name of the emperor's personal physician Qi.
Doctor Qi was also a little surprised.
In addition to surprise, there is also embarrassment.
After all, no one present today is an easy target, and no matter what the final result is, he will always offend a few people.
However, he came with the Ninth Prince, who was Shen Ruyi's senior brother, and he had to come out if Shen Ruyi called him.
He even began to suspect that the Ninth Prince had brought him here on purpose!
Doctor Qi couldn't help but glance at the two maids standing at the door. Both of them served the Empress Dowager. They came out today with him to buy ingredients for medicinal food for the Empress Dowager and had not had time to go back yet.
At that time, the Ninth Prince said that Shen Ruyi was injured and he was worried about Shen Ruyi's safety, so he wanted to ask him to come with him as a backup. He also said that he would go to see the Queen Mother in the evening and go to the palace with two maids.
The reasons are quite sufficient.
Neither he nor the two maids could refuse.
But he didn't expect that he was not here to check Shen Ruyi's injuries, but to examine her body.
Now we are in trouble!
"this--"
Doctor Qi looked at the Ninth Prince, in a dilemma.
Rong Yan looked at the two maids beside him, "Please ask Mammy to check Ruyi's body. Be careful not to touch the wound on her shoulder."
His face looked uglier than ever before, and he glanced at Shen Jiaojiao.
