Chapter 596 Shen Ping Sues Lord Rong

Seeing Rong Wenmiao's expression, Shen Ping suddenly thought of something, and without waiting for Rong Wenmiao to speak, he said bluntly: "If Miss Rong came for your father, then there is no need to say more."

"The evidence is solid that Lord Rong has committed treason and I, as an official appointed by the court, must enforce the law impartially."

"I won't do it for anyone's sake, just..."

Facing such a woman in front of him, no matter how cruel Shen Ping was, he still didn't say anything in the end.

It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for Rong Wenmiao at all.

But state affairs always come before love.

"My father doesn't have it!" Rong Wenmiao stepped forward and argued for her father.

But after she heard what Shen Ping said, her heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

She stared at Shen Ping in front of her, trying to see a hint of guilt in his eyes, but Shen Ping's expression was so firm.

Rong Wenmiao closed her eyes tightly and raised her head, not knowing what to do for a moment.

She believed that her father would never be the kind of person who would collude with the enemy or commit treason.

But she also believed that Shen Ping in front of her would never be the kind of person who would slander others for the sake of official position.

Although he had not been in contact with Shen Ping for a long time, everyone in Yongchang Academy knew what kind of person he was.

It's a piece of wood.

Rong Wenmiao said nothing.

Shen Ping didn't say anything else. He just glanced at Rong Wenmiao in front of him and turned away.

His back stretched out very long in the setting sun, and the gradually receding figure seemed to take away the last glimmer of hope in Rong Wenmiao's heart.

Sure enough, what the Imperial Concubine said was right.

In this world, the only person you can rely on is yourself.

It was precisely because of this incident that Rong Wenmiao decided to go to Yuefeng Kingdom in person to investigate the matter.

Since even His Majesty said that the evidence was presented by Lord Xia and the Second Prince in person, then she would go and ask Lord Xia and the Second Prince in person why this happened.

"Is it really Shen Ping?" Lu Xingwan spoke with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

I didn’t expect that Shen Ping is so capable!

I thought that the time was different from that in the story, and maybe Shen Ping wouldn't be able to win the title in one go, but I didn't expect that he would break through the shackles on his own.

Seeing Rong Wenmiao's strange expression, Lu Xingwan finally asked, "Sister Rong, do you know this Shen Ping?"

Lu Xingwan's words pulled Rong Wenmiao back from his thoughts.

"Ah, no... no..." Rong Wenmiao subconsciously refuted, but then felt that her rebuttal was too hasty, so she quickly explained, "This Shen Ping is a student of Yongchang Academy. When I was studying at Yongchang Academy, I met him a few times."

Lu Xingwan nodded without any doubt.

"When I accompanied my father to the south, I also met this man. He is indeed a man of pride and literary talent."

"Did the emperor give him an official title?"

Rong Wenmiao nodded, her tone even more bitter: "Yes, His Majesty has appointed Shen Ping as the official in charge of the imperial court."

Only then did Lu Xingwan confirm that Rong Wenmiao was really hiding something from them.

She quickly asked, "Sister Rong, what happened?"

"Is Madam Rong not feeling well?" Lu Xingwan still clearly remembered that Lord Rong had staged a drama with his father because of Aunt Zeng's matter, which caused Madam Rong to fall seriously ill.

Madam Rong cares so much about Lord Rong that she might be overly saddened by the fact that Lord Rong is now in prison.

Rong Wenmiao shook her head when she heard this: "Don't worry, Princess. My mother is doing fine now."

When my father was first rebuked by His Majesty and detained in the palace, my mother was so angry that she collapsed.

But later on, my father was sent to prison.

The Rong family had nowhere to turn to and were only supported by the siblings Rong Wenzhou and Rong Wenmiao.

I thought my mother's health would get worse, but unexpectedly, after taking a dose of medicine, she got better.

Rong Wenmiao still remembers her mother holding her hand and saying, "Now your father has been falsely accused and imprisoned. We are the only ones left to support the family."

"As long as we survive, your father's crime will be cleared."

The Rong family was not considered a prominent family, and Lord Rong had no concubines. He only had two children, Rong Wenzhou and his sister.

Now that something has happened, the family seems even more vulnerable.

But fortunately, neither the friends of his parents nor the friends of his brother and sister had ever doubted the Rong family.

Even someone close to the Imperial Concubine came to deliver a message, saying that they would protect their father's safety and let the family rest assured.

Thinking of this, Rong Wenmiao suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing this, Lu Xingwan and Qiong Hua hurried forward to hug her.

I didn't ask any more questions and just waited for her to calm down.

When Rong Wenmiao's sobbing gradually died down, she sighed softly, and with tears in her eyes she looked at Lu Xingwan in front of her: "Princess, perhaps we have never seen Shen Ping clearly."

I don't know why, even though Lu Xingwan is just a little kid, Rong Wenmiao always feels that she is very reliable when facing her.

So even if she had not said anything to He Yuyao and Han Xiyue, she was now willing to tell the princess and Miss Qionghua.

"After Shen Ping passed the imperial examination, my father was very happy to learn that he was appointed as the Imperial Secretary by His Majesty!"

"I just say that this man is a man of integrity and integrity. He is the most suitable person to be a military historian. He may be able to take over his father's job in the future."

At that time, Rong Wenmiao was also happy.

I just think that my father likes Shen Ping so much, maybe I...

But now when she said this, Rong Wenmiao's eyes were full of loneliness.

"But I didn't expect that before my father could be happy for a few days, Shen Ping turned around and reported my father to His Majesty."

"It was Shen Ping who reported it?"

When Rong Wenmiao said this, Lu Xingwan was stunned for a moment. In her eyes, Lord Rong was a man of integrity, but Shen Ping was also a stubborn person. How could he...

"Could it be that I was misled?"

After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, Rong Wenmiao was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head: "I don't know. I went to see Shen Ping after my father was imprisoned, but he..."

After saying this, the cowardice on Rong Wenmiao's face faded away. She stood up and looked straight ahead with determination in her eyes.

"My father has been honest and upright all his life. He has never done anything against the law. I believe that there will be a day when the truth will be vindicated."

Seeing Rong Wenmiao like this, Qiong Hua, who had been silent all this time, finally nodded and stepped forward to hold Rong Wenmiao's hand: "Miss Rong, I know you are sad now, but the most important thing now is to clear the injustice for Master Rong."

"No matter what happens to others, the princess and I will definitely stay by your side."
