"presumptuous!"
Prince Shun's wife's face turned ashen, and she was raging with rage. "Stop talking nonsense here! When have I ever been disrespectful to the Emperor? It's just a matter of a few children, how can you make such a big deal out of it?"
"Really?" Shen Ruoyan's cold gaze fell on her face, like an eagle in the sky, staring at the prey on the ground, biting it to death and not letting go!
"Then may I ask, Princess, can you answer the questions I asked just now? If not, without any evidence, can Princess punish my son based solely on his one-sided statement?"
When Prince Shun's wife arrived, Song Xian happened to fall to the ground.
She was furious. Seeing her son fall and get hurt, how could she care about so many things? He was used to bullying others by taking advantage of his power, so what if he was the son of the Marquis's family?
It’s a good time to avenge both old and new grudges at the same time!
If it had been someone else today, perhaps Princess Shun wouldn't have been so impulsive. But the one who took action was the Marquis of Changning's Mansion—she still hadn't settled the score from last time!
She could answer Shen Ruoyan's questions, but she couldn't answer them.
Because if I answered, the blame would be directed at me. Did I really have to make her admit that I did it on purpose?!
"Stop making excuses here. I didn't know that the wife of Marquis Changning is so sharp-tongued!" The princess sneered, insisting that it was Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan's fault. As for her son, he was just an innocent victim, so pitiful!
"Whether it's a sharp tongue or a reasonable argument, the princess probably knows it in her heart." Shen Ruoyan said no more to her, "I will definitely seek justice for this matter!"
Princess Shun watched her leave with her entourage in a grand ceremony. It was the first time she had been treated so humiliatingly. She was so angry that she kicked the maid next to her and said, "You rude slave! If you have the guts, go and file a complaint before the Emperor. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
He just relied on the few compliments Lu Jing received from the emperor and thought he was so great!
No matter how successful he is, he is just a dog in front of the emperor. How can he be compared with their prince?
Princess Shun was relieved. No matter how powerful Shen Ruoyan's mouth was, their Changning Marquis Mansion was not as noble as the prince's mansion.
She would beat the prince of Changning Marquis’s Mansion!
If you have the ability, Shen Ruoyan will fight him back!
Shengjing City was a place where even the most destitute people were eaten alive. Only the powerful and influential could truly live here. For those without power, simply being alive was considered the greatest fortune.
Shen Ruoyan brought the children back to the mansion, and Doctor Xu was already waiting for them.
"How did you get hurt so badly?" Doctor Xu said as he bandaged the wound, "You two shouldn't get wet or write for the next few days. I'll come back in a few days to change the dressings for you two young masters."
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Xu." Shen Ruoyan personally saw him out and asked Chunxi to lead him out of the house. She had just sat down when she saw the two children's hands wrapped like steamed buns. She felt a little sad in her heart, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Lu Changchuan shook his head, and Lu Yan also shook his head.
If their pale faces were not so unconvincing, Shen Ruoyan might have believed it.
Since becoming Shen Ruoyan, her temperament seemed to have been affected to a certain extent. In the past, she would kill people without hesitation, and would not change her color when assassins came to her during the palace fight. But now, she felt a dense pain in her heart that she could not stop.
Lu Yan’s sleeves were completely unbearable to look at. He silently put his hands behind his back, but Shen Ruoyan gently pulled his hand, “Are you scared?”
God knows how angry Shen Ruoyan was when he rushed over and saw a group of people bullying two children!
She wished she could have these people dragged out and beheaded on the spot!
However, things are different now. Even though she knows that the matter is not as it seems and argues with reason, in the end she can only bring her child back and lick her wounds in silence.
Status and position, in this vast city of Shengjing, is a chasm that cannot be crossed no matter how hard you try.
This is true for ordinary people and the powerful as well.
There is only standing higher, not standing highest.
That’s why some people spend their whole lives climbing up, afraid that if they’re not careful, they’ll fall to the bottom and live under the feet of others…
"Mother, we did nothing wrong, why are we being beaten?" Lu Changchuan didn't understand. They just helped Song Huaian, why were they being beaten like this?
His and Lu Yan's hands were both broken, and the flesh inside was turned out. How much hatred and resentment could they have to be so cruel to two children!
Shen Ruoyan looked at them, and saw in their eyes the doubts and confusion about this world.
She had a lot of truths that she could use to talk them through and soothe their wounded hearts.
But she didn't want to.
"Because Prince Shun has a higher status than your father. So even if he is wrong, he is still right." No matter how serious the quarrel is, as long as Prince Shun is still around, the princess will always have the confidence to act tyrannically.
Lu Changchuan lowered his head in disappointment. After going through so many things, he already understood what this meant.
But Lu Yan, who had been silent all the time, moved.
"Mother, this isn't right." Lu Yan, who could write with both hands, quickly wrote, "Master said that justice and right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. The princess can use her status to bully us for a while, but it won't last forever."
He raised his head, his small face full of faith, "Justice will prevail!"
Just like the sky will always get brighter after getting dark, this world will not stay dark forever, and there will always be a day when the sun rises.
"good!"
Shen Ruoyan looked at him with relief, and touched Lu Changchuan's head, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stand on your side."
