The bright sunshine sprinkled in the courtyard. Shen Yuerong stood there with cold eyes and eyebrows, just looking at the queen in front of her.
"Is this how the Imperial Sister-in-law treats me? I'd like to ask my Imperial Brother what's going on here."
"Could it be that the Empress's sister-in-law wants to make things difficult for me, her new sister-in-law?"
She took the initiative to challenge.
The queen folded her hands in front of her, looking solemn and dignified, with a hypocritical smile on her lips.
"I hope my sister-in-law can understand that I am also trying to clear your name. It would not be good if others misunderstood me."
"Don't worry, just let the maid search you."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuerong smiled faintly.
"What the Emperor's sister-in-law said is funny. How could it be misunderstood? Unless you think so, what is the meaning of searching my body in public?"
The Queen didn't expect Shen Yuerong to say it so directly, her expression changed, and then she waved her hand forcefully.
"Someone, come and search the princess to see if she has the jewelry I lost."
"It would be good if we didn't find these jewels. Then you can be cleared of all charges."
As soon as she said this, the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs immediately rushed forward, pretending to search the things on Shen Yuerong and Qinghua beside her.
Shen Yuerong directly grabbed the hand of a palace maid, her eyes extremely cold.
"Sister-in-law, you should think twice before you take action."
"Am I someone you can't possibly attack? Otherwise, if you regret it later, no one will be able to protect you."
There was a gleam in the queen's eyes, and she said coldly.
"Don't think you can scare me by doing this. I am the queen. When you see me, you have to kowtow three times and nine times."
"Besides, you are the only one in the courtyard. It would be easy for us to do anything with so many hands."
When these words reached Shen Yuerong's ears, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I never knew that the emperor's sister-in-law was such an arrogant person. If this matter gets to the ears of the Empress Dowager, how will you explain it to them?"
The queen's face was full of pride, and she lowered her voice and slowly threatened.
"I have people all around here, how could this matter possibly reach the ears of the Queen Mother and the others?"
"You'd better find a way to beg for mercy and apologize quickly. Maybe I'll let you go if I'm in a good mood."
Shen Yuerong's smile deepened, she nodded slightly, and bowed slowly in the direction behind the queen.
"Your son pays respects to your mother."
When this sentence came out, the queen didn't believe it at first and just refuted it.
"Don't try to scare me with words like that!"
Unexpectedly, the next moment the Queen Mother's voice came from behind the Queen.
"I didn't know you were so powerful to the outside world. Normally, I underestimated you."
"How about I hand over the power to you?"
The queen heard that the queen mother was angry, and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Don't misunderstand me, mother. I just lost my jewelry and wanted to look for it. I didn't mean to deliberately make things difficult for my younger brother and sister-in-law."
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of Shen Yuerong, with some pleading in his voice.
"Sister-in-law, please speak for me. I really didn't do anything to you, right?"
"Logically speaking, the Queen did not do anything to her because she was too late. If the Queen Mother showed up later, I'm afraid she would be in trouble."
The queen has already planned everything, so she will naturally find his lost jewelry from her body soon.
Even if there wasn't one, the Queen would fabricate one out of thin air because she wanted to deal with Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong stood there calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
The queen glanced at Shen Yuerong, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking for her, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
But at this moment, she needed to calm the Queen Mother's anger first.
If not, I'm afraid he will have a hard time in the palace from now on.
So the queen could only grit her teeth and kowtow to the queen mother to apologize.
"Mother, I was blinded by greed at the time, so I did something like this. Please forgive me, I definitely didn't mean it."
The Queen Mother glanced at her calmly, and just looked in the direction of Shen Yuerong, “The person you should apologize to is not me, but Shen Yuerong.”
Since she said so, the queen could only turn around and apologize in the direction of Shen Yuerong.
She just knelt there, tightly holding onto Shen Yuerong's clothes, looking extremely pitiful.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will keep my gestures carefully next time, and this will never happen again."
She kept kowtowing, totally disregarding her own dignity. Shen Yuerong felt a little sad when she saw this scene.
It's pathetic and ridiculous that she would go to such lengths just for the pitiful position of queen.
Shen Yuerong did not forgive him easily, but looked in the direction of the Queen Mother and bowed gently.
"Mother, I am willing to search my body to prove my innocence, so that I won't be misunderstood as having stolen the emperor's sister-in-law's things and then bully her in return."
When Shen Yuerong said this, she was already on guard against possible rumors that might spread in the future.
Since he said so, the Queen Mother would naturally promise.
"Don't worry, this will never happen. But Queen, you should stop kneeling now."
"I just asked you to apologize, but I didn't ask you to kneel down. If people outside spread the news, they wouldn't know how they would say that I was harsh on you."
"Get up quickly."
She said this casually, and the nanny beside her helped the queen up and never allowed her to kneel down easily again.
