The scene before me was quite interesting: Shen Shu, Wei Congwen, Du Rufeng, Shen Ming, and that young imperial brother-in-law.
The man, dressed in a flamboyant red robe, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, sat upright on a bench with his legs bent, one foot on Wei Congwen who was lying on the ground. His whole body exuded a natural, arrogant, and roguish charm.
His face seemed to have been meticulously drawn, his eyebrows and eyes were dashing and charming, but the look in his eyes was too dangerous. Just one glance from him was like having a wild beast choking you.
Shen Ning rarely paid such attention to a man's appearance, but she was momentarily distracted twice after only seeing this young imperial brother-in-law twice.
She was unaware that she also had a lecherous streak.
I felt a little strange whenever I saw him.
Shen Ming and Du Rufeng were being held by guards. Shen Ming looked at Shen Ning excitedly and said, "Sister, please plead for us. We didn't mean to."
Shen Ning's eyes had turned black.
Du Rufeng just hung his head, looking at Shen Ning and then at Du Sande.
Shen Ning asked Du Yunzhi with suspicion, "Could this Du Rufeng be related to your father?"
Du Yunzhi kept a straight face, suppressing her displeasure: "He is a nephew of my father's relatives in his hometown. My father was once grateful to his family for a meal when he was young, so he has taken good care of him. He has been in Kyoto for three months, and my father has been covering all his food and lodging."
You could tell she disliked Du Rufeng very much.
Shen Ning never expected that they would be connected in this way after all this time.
Shen Ning remained motionless, but the young imperial uncle had already plunged a knife into Wei Congwen's arm: "If you can't control this hand, then there's no point in keeping it."
"Ah..." Wei Congwen screamed in agony.
"My husband!"
Shen Shu was heartbroken and tears streamed down her face. Not daring to beg the young imperial uncle, she could only grab Shen Ning's arm: "Sister, please save her! Sister, you can't be so heartless! He was once your fiancé..."
"Slap!" Shen Ning slapped her across the face, coldly glaring at her: "At least a person can't be truly shameless."
It's outrageous that someone would dare to publicize their shameful deeds and even use them to blackmail victims.
Shen Ming was terrified by the blood on the ground and struggled desperately: "My lord, spare my life! I know I was wrong. My sister knows people from the Qi Prince's mansion. She is going to be the concubine of the Qi Prince's heir. She has a lot of money and can compensate you."
The man's gaze slowly shifted over, while Du Sande knelt down with a thud: "My lord, I am willing to do everything I can to make amends. This has nothing to do with her."
Shen Ning thought Du Sande was being a bit foolish today. Of the four people on the ground, which one was worth saving? Why did he have to take it upon himself? Don't tell me it was for her sake.
Shen Ning's gaze fell on Du Rufeng, and she suddenly realized something. She turned to look at Su Yan, and sure enough, her face was extremely pale.
What man doesn't care about blood ties?
Noticing the unusual gaze fixed on her, Shen Ning turned her head and saw him fiddling with a dagger, looking at her casually.
The dagger became even sharper and more dazzling after seeing blood.
"come over."
Two words, spoken with an unyielding tone.
Du Yunzhi held Shen Ning tightly: "This is none of your business."
Ye Feiyan and Li Shaobai moved in unison this time, stepping forward to block Shen Ning and Du Yunzhi: "Ye Feiyan (Li Shaobai) greets the Crown Prince."
"Little Imperial Uncle" is a nickname given to him by outsiders. Although he is indeed the Imperial Uncle, his title is the heir of the Duke's Mansion.
Shen Ning: "......" Was it just my imagination? It felt like the person suddenly exuded murderous intent after they shouted?
The two dared not forcefully stop him. They knew the young emperor's character all too well. If he insisted on taking action, no one could dissuade him today. But they had no choice but to stop him.
This young imperial brother-in-law never showed mercy just because the other party was a woman, but Shen Ning was truly innocent, and they had some connection, so he had to step in and help her.
"Minister Ye's son, the young master of the Li family... Long time no see, and he dares to block my way now..."
The two men stiffened: "We wouldn't dare, but please, Your Highness, don't take your anger out on others."
Shen Ning broke free from Du Yunzhi's grasp and said to Du Sande, "Uncle Du, please ask all the guests to leave."
Why make a fool of yourself in front of so many people?
Du Sande suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly chased the people away, even refusing to pay for their meal.
Shen Ning casually grabbed a waiter: "Can you tell me what just happened?"
The waiter glanced at her fearfully and whispered the whole story to Shen Ning.
It turned out that Shen Shu and Wei Congwen came here to eat and happened to run into Shen Ming and Du Rufeng.
It seems that Shen Shu overheard Shen Ming and Du Rufeng saying something unpleasant, and then got up to go and argue with him.
As they argued, they got heated and started fighting. Then they began throwing things, and finally they overturned the table.
They were sitting on the second floor with the street right outside the window. A lot of food from the table flew out and splashed all over the passing imperial uncle and his entourage before they were arrested.
Because it was Wei Congwen who overturned the table, he was stabbed in the arm with a dagger.
The reason he was being trampled on was because he didn't know the young imperial uncle at all, and even provoked him after being arrested.
Shen Ning felt only sympathy after hearing this. What bad luck had the young imperial uncle had to be caught up in this mess?
It's impossible to plead for mercy.
Shen Ning muttered a few words to the waiter, and soon he brought over the dishes that were just about to be served.
Shen Ning carried the dishes to the table next to the young imperial uncle and helped the waiter arrange them one by one. There were more than thirty dishes in total. Then she looked up at him and said, "Is it enough to throw all of these at them? If not, there are more."
Qin Zhuo thought she was naive: "You think this will make me let them go?"
Shen Ning clapped his hands: "I am not pleading for anyone. They are not worthy. It's just that they insisted on using me as a shield. I feel that I should give the young master an attitude."
Qin Zhuo looked Shen Ning up and down for a long time, his eyes showing interest: "Excellent."
Then all thirty-odd dishes, along with the leftovers from all the diners in the building, were dumped on the four of them, including Shen Shu.
Everyone says that the young emperor's brother-in-law never goes easy on women.
The four men were thrown out in a disheveled state. Du Sande still felt a little sorry for Du Rufeng, so he quickly ordered someone to take him back to wash him.
"Young Miss, we owe you so much this time..."
Before Du Sande could finish his words of thanks, Shen Ning interrupted him: "Uncle Du, Du Rufeng has teamed up with Shen Ming to ambush me at the Shen family many times. I was planning to settle accounts with him, but I never expected that he would be a relative of Uncle Du. I won't bring up the past, but there won't be a next time."
Du Sande's pupils trembled slightly as he looked at Shen Ning standing in front of him, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.
Shen Ning had always respected him and treated him like an uncle; he had never uttered such a harsh warning.
Before he could figure it out, Shen Ning left. When he turned around and met his wife's disappointed gaze, his heart panicked instantly.
"Yanmei, I...how..."
