"Let's call the police." Fang Zhiran seemed to not want to stay here for even a second. Everything here was disgusting.
"You can't report it to the police, you can't report it to the police!" He hurriedly crawled over and hugged Fang Zhiran's legs. When Fang Zhiran saw it, he immediately dodged away.
"I can't report it to the police. If I do, Jiao'er will be finished..." He cried miserably, her face covered with snot and tears.
"Even if Qinfanglou doesn't report it to the police, our Fang family will still report it. We will never let go of such a great humiliation!" Fang Zhiran said with disgust.
He collapsed on the ground and closed her eyes in despair.
He and Shen Lijiao were carried back to the Shen Mansion. As for He Zhen, no one cared about him.
Chen Lijiao woke up when she returned to the Shen Mansion. After waking up, she was no longer as domineering as before. She just opened her two empty eyes and let the maids wash her.
The whole thing happened while she was unconscious, and she was unaware of it. But when she woke up, the pain between her legs quickly made her realize what had happened. Half of her face was swollen from the beating. She didn't dare ask who had ruined her innocence. If it was Zhou Ye's group... then wouldn't the damage she suffered be...
After Chen Lijiao finished washing and dressing up, she was invited to Songhe Hall.
When they arrived at Songhe Hall, He was already kneeling inside.
Old Madam Shen was in the first place, followed by the first, second and third wives.
He's hair was disheveled, and there was a distinct footprint on her clothes, from where Fang Zhiran had kicked her just now.
He cried so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. When she saw Shen Lijiao, she was even more heartbroken and couldn't control herself.
"Mother, you have to make the decision for Jiaoer!" He threw herself at the feet of Old Lady Shen, looking extremely miserable.
Old Madam Shen sighed. She believed that Chen Lijiao was not as self-indulgent as Yinxue. She was taken advantage of without knowing it... which was also pitiful.
Shen Lijiao was still in pain between her legs. She didn't react when she heard He's crying, and just stood at the door blankly.
"Tell me in detail what happened today." Chen Wangqiu frowned and looked at He who was kneeling on the ground and said.
He's eyes were filled with hatred. "You ask me? Shouldn't you ask your good daughter? She's the one who caused my daughter to end up like this!"
"What does it have to do with Yue'er?" Jiang said unhappily.
"It's her! It must be her!" He insisted.
Jiang said, "It's unfortunate that Jiao'er has encountered such a thing, but why are you accusing Yue'er for no reason? You are just talking nonsense. Can you provide any evidence?"
He wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to. Her mind was in a mess at the moment.
It was clearly designed for Chen Liyue so that the eldest wife would agree to the marriage with the He family, but how come it ended up being Jiao'er...
If it was really Chen Liyue, she would have been forced to marry He Zhen because of her ruined reputation. But Jiao'er is different. Jiao'er is engaged. If something like this happens, not only will Jiao'er's reputation be ruined, but how will she explain it to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion?
He didn't dare to say it. She knew that what happened today must be related to Shen Liyue, but if she really looked into it, she would not be able to hide the fact that she and the He family had framed Shen Liyue.
Seeing that He Shi didn't speak, Madam Shen asked Chen Lijiao, "Then tell me, why are you with He Zhen today?"
After hearing Mrs. Shen's question, Shen Lijiao finally reacted.
"He Zhen?" Shen Lijiao was puzzled. Wasn't she...
If it was He Zhen, Shen Lijiao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't Master Zhou and the others.
But He Shi didn't intend to give up, she turned around and asked Shen Lijiao: "Why did you go to Qinfang Tower today?"
He asked Chen Lijiao. She felt that Chen Liyue must have deceived her to go there today. As long as Chen Lijiao could say that Chen Liyue was involved in this matter, she could put the blame on Chen Liyue. Her family had become like this, and Chen Liyue had no chance of having an easy life.
But Shen Lijiao didn't know what He was planning. She bit her lips tightly and didn't dare to say anything.
She didn't dare, she really didn't dare.
Having already encountered such a thing, if her family knew that she owed money outside, she would not know what fate would be waiting for her.
"Such a big thing has happened, but you refuse to say anything. Then just wait for the results of the government investigation." Jiang said coldly.
Old Madam Shen frowned and was about to scold Jiang. Such a big thing happened at home, but instead of offering to help, she said such cruel words.
Suddenly a servant came to report that someone had come from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.
"Please come in quickly." Old Madam Shen said quickly.
But the person who came was not Mrs. Fang or Fang Zhiran.
But he is the steward of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The butler did not come alone. He brought a dozen servants with him. Although they were not armed, they came with a fierce momentum and did not show any good attitude.
The housekeeper didn't want to enter the Shen family's gate, so he stood at the door of the Shen Mansion and shouted at the inside of the Shen Mansion.
"I'm here on my wife's orders to deliver a message. Shen is a dissolute woman, lacking in womanly virtues and ruining our family's reputation. She's unfit to be the wife of the Yong'an Marquisate. I've been ordered to break off the engagement today. From now on, the Yong'an Marquisate and the Shen family will not interfere with each other. I hope the Shen family won't mention the Yong'an Marquisate outside again. If there's a next time, the Yong'an Marquisate will not let them off lightly!"
Shen Lijiao was shocked when she heard this. With this happening, she had already thought that the marriage between her and Yong'an Marquis would definitely not work out. However, she did not expect that they would use such an insulting way to say such words while standing at the gate of the Shen family. It was as if they were tearing off her face and throwing it on the ground and crushing it. How could she live in the future?
A group of people watching the fun had already gathered at the door, and they couldn't help pointing and talking when they heard this.
Such a big thing happened in Qinfang Tower today, and it has spread throughout Wangjing City a long time ago. Even those who didn't see it with their own eyes have been told the story vividly by those who were present at the time, and countless dirty and obscene words have been said behind their backs.
The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion had such an action because of long-standing resentment. Originally, the marriage with Chen Lijiao was not what they wanted. If His Majesty had not forbidden Fang Zhiran to attend court at that time, and He Shi had not come forward to propose marriage, the Fang family would never have agreed to this marriage.
After the engagement, Chen Lijiao often acted outside under the name of the Yong'an Marquis's unmarried daughter-in-law. Although she had not yet married into the family, others had often laughed at the Yong'an Marquis's family behind their backs because of the joke she made at Old Lady Shen's birthday banquet that day. Some even went to Madam Fang to make sarcastic remarks, saying that their unmarried daughter-in-law was capable and that everyone knew about the birthday banquet she held. They were really lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Fang has been suffering from this humiliation for a long time. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen today? If she doesn't cancel the engagement, then the reputation of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion will be in vain.
The engagement must be cancelled. If something like this happens, even if it is brought to your Majesty, he will not blame the Yong'an Marquisate.
But this bad breath must be vented, and it must be vented openly in front of others, so that others know that the Fang family and the Shen family have no connection anymore, and no matter how lowly Chen Lijiao is, she should not be implicated in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
