Chapter 040: She is still a virgin!
The sachet was thrown to the ground, making only a slight sound.
But in the unusually quiet hall, it could be heard clearly.
When Chen and Ji Zehai met each other, they saw the same pride and excitement in each other's eyes.
In this situation, how can Shen Ningyuan get away?
They just want to make this bitch go back to the Ji family in disgrace!
"Ji Shen, don't you want to pick it up and take a look? There is a flying kite embroidered on the lower left corner of this sachet."
He Yunshu slumped in the chair, looking at Chen Ningyuan with a half-smile, "If I remember correctly, you are the only noble lady named Yuan in the entire capital."
Shen Ningyuan still didn't move, her eyebrows were slightly drooped, making it impossible to tell her emotions.
Seeing her like this, everyone thought she was guilty.
The smugness on Chen and Ji Zehai's faces became even more obvious.
Song Yaner couldn’t figure out Shen Ningyuan’s thoughts, so she took two steps forward and picked up the sachet on the ground.
Seeing the flying kite embroidery on the lower left corner of the sachet, Song Yaner’s eyes widened in shock and she ran towards Shen Ningyuan anxiously.
"Yuan'er, this sachet... is it really yours?" Song Yan'er asked hesitantly.
Shen Ningyuan lowered her eyes to glance at the embroidery on it and nodded lightly, "It's mine."
Seeing Shen Ningyuan admit that the sachet was hers.
Ji Zehai and Chen's faces lit up with joy and they were so excited that they almost shouted out loud on the spot.
Song Yaner's face fell, and she came close to Shen Ningyuan, and said worriedly in a low voice: "Yuan'er, why are you so stupid? You just refuse to admit it. No one can prove that this sachet is yours!"
Shen Ningyuan raised her head, gave Song Yaner a reassuring look, and said gently: “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Seeing her confident expression, Song Yaner had no choice but to give up and shut up silently.
Lin Shu took the opportunity to yell at Chen Ningyuan, "Yuan'er, you finally admitted it! Brother Shu has been here for so long, why haven't you ever looked at me? Didn't you say that you don't care about identity or status, you just want to be with me?"
At this time, Shen Ningyuan finally looked at Lin Shu straight in the eye, "I just admitted that this sachet is mine, but I didn't admit that I have a private relationship with you. Why are you so excited?"
Lin Shu’s face changed, and he continued to yell at Shen Ningyuan: “Yuan’er, you are pregnant with my child, how can you not acknowledge our relationship?”
Chen pointed at Shen Ningyuan fiercely, with a ferocious look on her face, "Tell me! When did you and this wild man happen?"
"There's no smoke without fire. The news that you cheated on my son and had an affair with another man has spread like wildfire. Now that the evidence is in front of you, you still refuse to admit it!"
As she spoke, Chen looked at Nanny Ming and shouted in a deep voice, "Nanny Ming, you are the head nanny in the Young Madam's courtyard. You know the Young Madam's daily affairs best. Tell me everything you know and see!"
When Nanny Ming was suddenly called by Chen, she obviously flinched, but she still walked forward and knelt down with a plop.
He Yunshu also set her eyes on Nanny Ming and asked softly, "Are you the head nanny in Madam Ji's courtyard?"
Nanny Ming bowed her head and replied, "Your Majesty, yes."
"Mrs. Ji said that you saw with your own eyes that the young mistress brought the adulterer to the yard and did something indecent. Is that true?"
“Yes…” Nanny Ming raised her head suddenly and glanced at Chen Ningyuan subconsciously, but finally nodded her head, “Old slave, I did see it with my own eyes. The young lady brought Lin Shu to the room. The most she did was to ask for water three times in one night.”
"Then why didn't you report this to Mrs. Ji?" He Yunshu asked again.
Nanny Ming said tremblingly, "My queen, my indenture is still in the hands of the young lady. She is using this to threaten me. I dare not tell anyone about this, so I can only keep it a secret for her."
At the end of the story, Nanny Ming prostrated herself on the ground with her hands, kowtowed heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "Old slave, I am guilty!"
Looking at Aunt Ming kneeling on the ground, Shen Ningyuan spoke in a low and cold voice, "Aunt Ming, you have been in my courtyard for a year, and I have treated you well. When your daughter Xiaodouding was on the verge of tuberculosis, I helped you send her to the clinic and saved her life. I also paid for the subsequent medical expenses."
Nanny Ming's shoulders trembled, but she didn't look up, "Young Madam, this old servant... I don't know what you are talking about."
Seeing her like this, Shen Ningyuan said nothing more.
Nonsense, no point in talking any more.
Shen Ningyuan was silent, and Nanny Ming continued, "In front of the Queen, I dare not conceal the fact that you and Lin Shu committed adultery!"
Nanny Ming continued to emphasize: "Moreover, as far as I know, you haven't had your period for two months..."
Nanny Ming didn’t finish the rest of her words.
But everyone present knew what she wanted to express.
Song Yaner was nervous and couldn't help but hold Shen Ningyuan's hand tightly.
Shen Ningyuan did not respond and let Song Yaner hold her tightly.
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was hesitant to refute, He Yunshu just thought that she had accepted her fate.
He asked faintly, "Ji Shenshi, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyes and looked directly at He Yunshu, and asked instead of answering: "Your Majesty, I have a lot to say. Are you willing to give me a chance to say it?"
Being stared at by Shen Ningyuan like this, He Yunshu was a little displeased, and replied to her coldly, "The evidence is irrefutable, no matter how much you say, it's useless."
Chen Ningyuan smiled, her tone still calm and peaceful, "The laws of our dynasty stipulate that even if you are questioning someone, you must give the person being questioned a chance to defend themselves, so as not to wrongly accuse a good person."
He Yunshu's face darkened. "What do you want to say?"
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and smiled, and continued to speak: "I think that the Queen, as the master of the six palaces and a model of the mother of the country, should not disregard the laws of our dynasty and not give me, the so-called guilty person, a chance to defend myself."
He Yunshu: “…”
"You're so sharp-tongued!" He Yunshu cursed inwardly, trying to keep her face calm, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself."
"Thank you, your majesty." Shen Ningyuan nodded in thanks.
Then he walked up to Lin Shu and asked in a deep voice, "You said that I am already pregnant with your child?"
Lin Shu shouted firmly: "Yes, you have my child in your belly!"
"good."
Shen Ningyuan nodded and said "OK", then walked to Nanny Ming and looked down at her condescendingly.
The voice was cold and clear, "Madam Ming, you just said that you had seen me and Lin Shu committing adultery many times, and I threatened you with a contract to sell my body?"
Nanny Ming shuddered again, but still raised her head and looked up at Shen Ningyuan.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "That's right!"
"Um."
Shen Ningyuan said "hmm" softly, and turned to walk towards Chen.
Her inexplicable behavior left everyone present confused and puzzled as to what she was trying to do.
Even Song Yaner had a confused expression.
After Shen Ningyuan came to Chen, Chen looked at the smile on her face and felt inexplicably cold in her heart.
Thinking of the scene where Shen Ningyuan slapped Ji Yunhuan, Chen couldn't help but take a step back, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Ningyuan still smiled, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I just asked you a question."
"What's the problem?" Chen was still very afraid of her.
"Has mother-in-law already determined that I betrayed Yunchuan and am pregnant with another man's child?" Shen Ningyuan asked.
Chen nodded firmly, "Yes, you finally admitted it!"
"But my abdomen is flat, how can I look like I'm pregnant?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
"Humph! Yunchuan hasn't been buried yet, but the Shen family took you back because they were afraid your scandal would be exposed, so they aborted you overnight!"
Chen gritted her teeth.
A pair of gloomy eyes the size of green beans stared at Shen Ningyuan, wishing to cut off a piece of her flesh.
Shen Ningyuan didn’t say anything, just glanced at Chen calmly, then turned and walked to the center of the hall.
After standing up straight, Shen Ningyuan looked up at He Yunshu, "Your Majesty, I have finished my argument."
He Yunshu's face darkened, and she scolded coldly: "Chen Ningyuan, are you kidding me? You just asked a question, how can you refute it?"
"Because their answers to this minister are all nonsense." Shen Ningyuan remained calm.
Seeing that she was still calm even when she was about to die, He Yunshu felt furious.
He stood up unconsciously and pointed at Shen Ningyuan, his tone becoming uncontrollably shrill, “How do you prove it?!”
Shen Ningyuan opened her red lips slightly, "Because I am still a virgin."
