Chapter 23 The Regent: Sharp Tongue, Even More Ruthless Methods



After a brief moment of shock, Song Yuxiu and the others quickly regained their senses.

A mother must sacrifice herself to save them.

So Song Yuxiu hurriedly distanced himself from her, "Mother, how could you be so foolish? How could I have a mother like you!"

“I don’t believe it, Mother. You’re telling me that all of this is fake…” Song Ruoying seemed to come back to her senses. “I respect you so much. How could you do such a thing behind Father’s back?”

“I…” Chen lowered her head slightly, tears streaming down her face.

She was still disheveled and looked completely disheveled.

Where was the arrogant and domineering demeanor he usually displayed in front of Shen Zhiyi?

Her fingers tightened, her palms already bleeding from being dug by her nails. She hated Shen Zhiyi to the core, biting her lip hard, tasting the salty, metallic taste of blood, yet she dared not refute him.

You bitch!

She's finished.

Sooner or later, I'll kill her!

She must die!

Song Yuxiu said indignantly, "Having a mother like you is a disgrace to me."

"Mother...why did you do this? You've really disappointed me." Song Ruoying wiped away tears with red eyes.

The brother and sister,

He poured bucket after bucket of dirty water on his mother.

Lin Yaoyao stood to one side, already stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Everything was planned out, and today we were going to crush that bitch Shen Zhiyi into the mud. Why did things turn out like this?

Shen Zhiyi, feigning sadness, continued to deliver the final blow:

“Mother, even if you can’t stand being alone, you can’t cuckold Grandpa! What if Grandmother and Grandpa find out? Do you want our entire manor to be disgraced?”

"I'm not..." At this moment, Chen was truly suffering in silence.

"It's one thing for her to have an affair with another man, but she even stole her own daughter's clothes and gave them to her lover, and even... she even let this other man slander me."

The Regent stroked the sword in his hand. "What do you mean by that, Lady Crown Prince? How dare this scoundrel slander you?"

He wore a mask and spoke in a soft, understated manner, yet he exuded a sense of oppression.

Then, his tone took a sharp turn for the worse!

"Who gave you the audacity to slander the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo!"

It was like a thunderbolt crashing down.

The moment he looked up, his aura made it difficult for everyone present to breathe.

Zhang Dali was completely dumbfounded.

Everything that happened today was beyond his comprehension. He subconsciously glanced at Song Yuxiu, only to be kicked to the ground by him: "You wicked servant, spouting nonsense and deceiving your mistress!"

"You still dare to implicate my wife and sister."

I'm going to kill you!

Chen Zhiyi raised an eyebrow:

deceive?

Is his mother a three-year-old? Even at this point, he still hasn't forgotten to clear his mother's name.

But now that she's already on a bed, and her body isn't clean anymore, she can't wash herself clean of this mess!

Song Yuxiu grabbed a wooden stick from the corner and swung it at Zhang Dali.

Although Zhang Dali was foolish, he still knew to consider his parents at home.

As a servant born into the Song family, his entire family's life and fortune were in the hands of the Song family. He dared not speak recklessly and could only let Song Yuxiu smash things.

He begged for mercy repeatedly.

Chen Zhiyi scoffed inwardly:

I never realized before, but Song Yuxiu is quite a good actor.

At this moment, the Regent Prince unexpectedly stopped him, saying, "Prince Song, wait a moment."

"Your Highness, such a scandal has occurred today. I am truly ashamed to say that our Marquis's mansion has produced such a wicked servant. I am determined to beat him to death. Please do not stop me."

The Regent seemed to chuckle softly, "This wicked servant dared to seduce his master and even try to frame the Shen family's daughter. If we just beat him to death like this, wouldn't that be too easy for him..."

It is common knowledge that the Regent's personality changed drastically after he was disfigured.

Gloomy and strange!

The key is:

A person who has been on the battlefield and whose hands are stained with blood will not even flinch when killing someone.

"Your Highness, please spare me! I will never dare to do it again! Please, I have a father and an elderly mother at home who need my care. Please spare my worthless life!"

"I didn't mean to slander the young mistress. I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance!"

"I am willing to spend my life eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures to atone for my sins and repent for what happened today."

Zhang Dali knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Never again?" The regent stroked the sword in his hand.

"I swear, if this happens again, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."

“Swearing oaths is the most useless thing. Since you say you'll be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures for the rest of your life, that's the same as becoming a monk. Monks can't have emotions and desires.” His voice was hoarse and low, like the whisper of a demon, because he continued:

"To completely sever these worldly desires, all you need to do is..."

"Sever the root of evil!"

Chen Zhiyi took a deep breath.

This is……

Should he be made a eunuch?

Zhang Dali was instantly dumbfounded. "Please, Your Highness, spare me! I'll never dare to do it again! Someone ordered me to come and ruin the young mistress's reputation. Please, Your Highness, spare me..."

Song Yuxiu's expression immediately changed drastically, and he said urgently, "Your Highness, don't believe him. This scoundrel doesn't tell the truth."

“I know.” Zhou Xuance made only one gesture.

The next second,

Kong Qing took two steps forward, covered his mouth, and dragged him to another place.

The person ignored him, only hearing a terrible wail.

Chen Zhiyi's breath suddenly tightened.

Then a strong smell of blood came through.

"Your Highness, he's in so much pain he's fainted." Kong Qing said expressionlessly.

"Clean it up, don't let this filth dirty the place of the Marquis's mansion and offend everyone's eyes." He spoke lightly, as if he were talking about the weather.
