Chapter 403 You are so brave
The news soon reached Concubine Shu's ears. She just waved her hand to signal the palace maid to leave and did not intend to interfere.
The daughter of the Shen family and himself have never had any dealings, so there is no need to quarrel with a demon like King Jing for a mere official's daughter.
However, Prince Jing openly made things difficult for the Shen family girl. Was it because he was jealous of Prime Minister Shen who had helped in the last incident of being implicated in the remnants of the fake previous dynasty, or was it to protect Qiao Wanyan?
Shu Fei couldn't figure out why, but she only knew that there was no need to go over and settle the matter today.
So at the moment, everyone was looking at Shen Lingyi, looking at this noble lady who had returned from her hometown, feeling embarrassed, ashamed, and helpless.
The ladies who had been chatting with her sister not long ago, and were quite enthusiastic about her because she was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shen, now kept their distance from her.
Among the people present, only He Baozhu did not look at Shen Lingyi, but glanced back and forth between Qiao Wanyan and He Yanli.
What a beautiful picture. Although the scene of a hero saving a beautiful girl is cheesy, it is always romantic enough.
Of course, Kayan!
"Why, didn't the daughter of the Shen family hear what I said?" He Yanli's tone was indifferent, and his eyes were calm and without any ripples.
But it was precisely such a calm expression and tone that made people feel a chill down their spine for no reason.
No one spoke for Shen Lingyi. Because of the Shen family's reputation and Shen Zishan's frequent visits, Shen Lingyi lived a peaceful, smooth and prosperous life in her hometown, without encountering any setbacks or hardships.
But at this moment, King Jing was openly making things difficult for her, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.
It would be nice if my brother were here.
Kneeling down at this moment would be a huge loss of face.
If she doesn't kneel, who can come to save her and take her away?
Shen Lingyi was in a dilemma and whispered in defense: "My maid just fell down accidentally because of her unstable footing. She didn't touch anyone. Why did the prince want to kill people?"
He Yanli suddenly laughed, "You are so brave to offend me and contradict me."
As soon as he came up, he put a hat on her, and Shen Lingyi's face became even uglier.
"Slap your face."
Shen Lingyi looked at him in disbelief, but when her eyes met his, she did not dare to say another word to excuse herself.
Shen Lingyi likes to give birth to good-looking sons. When she saw King Jing for the first time, her heart beat fast. But now, her heart is also beating fast, but not because of love.
It's because of fear.
This girl, who grew up in a carefree place, encountered open embarrassment for the first time, and the one she encountered was a nobleman whom no one in the capital dared to offend.
He Yanli glanced at Mo Xiao and said, "You are a lady after all. It would be inappropriate for the people around me to slap you. It won't sound good if others tell others about it."
Shen Lingyi felt slightly relieved.
He Yanli said again, "Ziyuan."
Zi Yuan was suddenly called by her name and responded subconsciously, "Ah?"
After the words fell, she reacted and immediately said, "The servant is here."
He Yanli: "Thanks to your young lady, I only know the name of your maid, so you are the one who will slap her in the face. As we are both women, it is not considered that I am bullying her."
He Yanli's words were high-sounding, making people feel relieved and then sending people to hell. Shen Lingyi just felt that her legs were weak and she could not stand at this moment.
But Zi Yuan had already walked over, rolled up her sleeves and slapped him with quite a bit of force, as if she was harboring a personal grudge.
It was not for any other reason, but because Shen Lingyi had snatched something from the young lady in Huibao Tower not long ago.
After this slap, Shen Lingyi felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
But before it was completely black, another slap came.
Anyway, King Jing didn't tell me how many times to hit him, so it wouldn't be considered a mistake if I hit him a few more times.
He Yanli stopped after hitting her more than ten times, not for any other reason, but because Shen Lingyi was beaten unconscious.
He Yanli said nothing more and turned to leave.
No one dared to be disrespectful and bowed respectfully to see King Jing off.
Mo Xiao said: "Beat this maid to death with sticks and send her to the Shen family."
Chu Qi's head was buzzing and he wanted to ask the young lady to save him, but his young lady had been beaten unconscious and no one could save him.
I opened my mouth to ask for help, but I didn't know who to talk to, and I was dragged away.
After the show ended, the back garden was quiet for a while before sounds gradually began to be heard.
"Before, that fake remnant of the previous dynasty slandered His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and Prime Minister Shen also reported it to the emperor. Prince Jing and the Shen family have had a feud for a long time. Miss Shen is unlucky to have run into Prince Jing."
"Growing up in a small place like Yuncheng, I'm afraid you haven't seen any big scenes. You dare to contradict King Jing in that situation. You really don't know what you are talking about."
"Sister, you are right. If I hadn't been taught since I was a child, how could I have spilled the tea on Miss Qiao Er without even being able to stand steadily?"
Shen Lingyi was sent directly back to the Shen family, and not long after, the maid Chu Qi, who was beaten to death with sticks, was also sent back.
Prime Minister Shen had not returned home yet, Shen Zishan and his father were not there either, and only Madam Shen was in the mansion.
"Madam, the doctor said that the young lady had asthma. Although it is better under control now, her mood swings are too great and she has had a relapse. She coughed so hard that blood came out."
Madam Shen sneered, “Why didn’t you cough her to death? This way she can go down to find her mother.”
The nanny advised kindly, "Madam, she is just a little girl, why are you angry with her? The doctor said that if you can invite Master Yun to see the young lady, perhaps the young lady's asthma can be cured. If you invite Master Yun to see the young lady, the young master will also change his mind about you!"
Madam Shen rebuked coldly: “Why should I save Pei’s daughter?”
The nanny said, "Madam, you have no children. How can you live a good life when the young master is in charge in the future? You might as well take this opportunity to ease the relationship with the young master."
Mrs. Shen didn't say anything, and seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
The nanny continued, "The young master's birthday is coming soon. Why don't you hold a birthday banquet and invite Madam Qiao and the second Miss Qiao? Young Master Yun is living in the Qiao Mansion now!"
After a long silence, Madam Shen said, “What you said makes sense.”
Mammy smiled and said, "What about Chuqi? It seems like he is still alive."
Madam Shen didn't care much. "He was just a servant. Since King Jing had him beaten to death, just report it truthfully. It's unlucky to keep a dead person in the mansion, get rid of him quickly."
When Shen Zishan came back, he heard Shen Lingyi coughing violently before he entered the house, and strode in.
"Lingyi!"
Shen Lingyi burst into tears as soon as she saw her relatives, "Brother, you are finally back. If I didn't want to see you again, I would have hanged myself!"
Chen Zishan felt distressed, "Lingyi, I heard everything. King Jing is a cruel and ruthless person. You were implicated in the feud between King Jing and your grandfather."
"That's not the case!" Shen Lingyi argued, "It was Qiao Wanyan. Prince Jing humiliated me like this just to vent his anger on her! Not only that, Prince Jing also asked the maidservant around Qiao Wanyan to beat me and killed Chu Qi."
Chen Zishan sighed and said, "She is just a maid. Without your brother, I will find you a reliable one. You grew up in Yuncheng and don't know what's going on in the capital. King Jing only hates Miss Qiao Er. How could he humiliate you like this for her?"
Chen Zishan touched her head and said, "You were implicated by your family, but the emperor has always been doting on Prince Jing, so you have to bear with what happened today."
Shen Lingyi burst into tears.
I thought that when I returned to the capital, I would be the granddaughter of the Prime Minister, respected by everyone, and a noble lady in the capital.
But I never thought that I would encounter these bad things again and again.
"Brother, I hate Qiao Wanyan, can you help me teach her a lesson?"
Shen Zishan frowned slightly and did not answer. Shen Lingyi cried even more sadly, and she cried so hard that she suddenly coughed violently, and a mouthful of blood was coughed out.
Chen Zishan quickly patted her back to comfort her, "Brother promises you, brother promises you everything!"
