Chapter 135 The Old Master Appears
Qin Hanyan hugged Shen Bailin's legs tightly.
Shen Bailin was anxious and afraid, "If you don't let me go and teach this rebellious girl a lesson, our whole family will be ruined!"
Hearing this, Qin Hanyan cried and shook her head, "Please let Ruyi go. She is your biological daughter. Do you have the heart to beat her to death?"
Shen Bailin paused for a moment, then raised the reed stick and whipped it hard.
In an instant, Qin Hanyan's skin was torn into pieces.
Shen Ruyi looked at Shen Bailin, whose face was full of hatred, and felt both scared and aggrieved.
She did all this for the good of the second wife.
"Dad, stop hitting me..."
"Mother..." Shen Ruyi burst into tears.
At the same time, Qin Yunshuang held little Tangbao tightly.
Fortunately, her child is fine.
[No one is checking my breathing, so I'll just take a few shallow breaths hahahaha~]
Hearing Xiao Tangbao's thoughts, Qin Yunshuang didn't show it on her face, but stared coldly at Shen Bailin, "You killed my daughter, you must give an explanation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bailin arrived with the emperor and empress.
When the Empress saw little Tangbao lying quietly in Qin Yunshuang's arms, covered with a coat, with her hair and clothes soaked, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Little Tangbao!" The Queen quickly hugged Little Tangbao in her arms, "What's going on?"
Shen Bailin was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Shen Zongguang to arrive with the emperor and empress so quickly.
"It was Shen Ruyi from the second branch of the Shen family who pushed Xiao Tangbao into the water." Qin Yunshuang cried.
After hearing this, the Queen glared coldly at Shen Bailin and Qin Hanyan.
Qin Hanyan fell to her knees and said, "I am not good at educating my daughter, but the child is still young. Ruyi is only the same age as Xiaotangbao. If she continues to beat her, she will really be beaten to death."
The queen sneered, "So we should just go easy on her because she's still young?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Qin Hanyan felt a chill down her spine and sweat all over her forehead as the Queen stared at her.
"In my dynasty, murder is a serious crime!" The queen sneered, "If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. Your daughter deserves the pain she has suffered because she has the intention to harm someone."
"She is still so young, Your Majesty. I beg you to spare her life!" Qin Hanyan kowtowed desperately.
The Second House was able to regain its place in the capital, all thanks to Shen Ruyi.
If Shen Ruyi had an accident now, their second branch would be completely doomed.
In her dreams, Shen Ruyi was the person who made the second branch famous.
She must find a way to save Shen Ruyi!
Thinking of this, she secretly winked at her maid in the crowd.
The maid was smart and turned around and left immediately after she understood what she meant.
The emperor touched the little Tangbao's face, which was still warm but no longer had any breath, and he felt extremely heartbroken.
He loves little Tangbao as if he were his own child.
"Shen Bolin and Qin Hanyan are incompetent in educating their daughter. Drag them away and give them fifty lashes. All their property will be confiscated immediately. All members of the Shen family's second branch will be exiled to Lingnan immediately."
Hearing this, Shen Bailin was stunned.
Exiled to Lingnan?
That place is filled with extremely poisonous miasma. Letting them go there would be like asking for their lives.
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Shen Bailin kowtowed repeatedly, tears flowing sincerely.
He didn't cry because he knew he was wrong, but because of his miserable future.
The emperor touched Xiao Tangbao's head and gritted his teeth, "If you know you are wrong, then you should know that human life is precious, so you should pay for it with your own life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, servants came forward, dragged up Shen Bailin and Qin Hanyan, and took the boards to execute them.
After a few blows, Shen Bailin and Qin Hanyan wailed.
Shen Ruyi was afraid and guilty, huddled on the ground.
She had clearly planned everything, and Shen Tang was the one being blamed by everyone.
Why is she being spurned by everyone now?
The crowd watching was excited.
"Hit, hit well, you should kill all the evildoers in this family."
"You have harmed our Princess Mingzhu, and paying with your life is too light a punishment!"
"You say he's still young, but he's so vicious at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up?"
…
The noise of discussion drowned out the cries of Shen Bailin and Qin Hanyan.
Just when the two were about to pass out from the beating, the old tutor came trembling.
"Stop it, stop it now!"
"What are you doing?!"
The old tutor stood in front of the attendants and stopped them from carrying out the execution.
When the emperor saw the old tutor coming, he hurried forward to greet him, "Master, why are you here?"
"How dare you ask!" The old tutor glared at the emperor. "What did I teach you? Have you forgotten all the morality and ethics I taught you?"
"The students dare not." The emperor lowered his head slightly.
He has respected and feared his teacher since he was young.
Even though the old tutor has now retired to the mountains and he is now the emperor with great power, he still holds the tutor in awe and respects him as if he were his own father.
"It's good that you don't dare!" The old tutor stepped forward and held Shen Ruyi in her arms.
Seeing the tutor coming, Shen Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, she had already planned this chess game with the tutor.
At times like this, the Grand Tutor is of great use.
"Ruyi, why are you covered with wounds?" The Taifu felt distressed and uncomfortable.
He turned to look at Shen Bailin and Qin Yunshuang, who were covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with pity. "Look at what you have done. As an emperor, you always use such torture!"
"You guys beat Ruyi, such a young child. What's more, I just heard from the servants that the Queen wanted to kill our Ruyi. A life for a life?" The Grand Tutor stared at the Queen and asked coldly.
The queen frowned slightly.
She always felt that this master was too kind, and sometimes so lenient that he was used as a tool.
But because the emperor respected him so much, she always respected him in the same way.
But now, it was Xiao Tangbao who was harmed and she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Master, it was Shen Ruyi who pushed Princess Mingzhu into the water, causing her to drown!"
"I heard that." The tutor interrupted the queen, "But if you think about it, you can feel that there is something fishy about it!"
"Ruyi is such a little kid, how could she have such evil thoughts?"
"Forget it. I can't reason with you." The Grand Tutor waved his hand at the Queen without waiting for her to speak again, then turned to look at the Emperor, "I only have one request now. Since this incident happened in the Second House, if you want to punish Berlin and the others, I have nothing to say."
"However, no matter how you punish her, there must be a limit. Just give her a few beatings as a lesson. As for Princess Mingzhu, give her a proper burial."
"Grandmaster, this is absolutely not allowed!" The emperor was also anxious, and spoke to the Grandmaster in a loud voice for the first time. "The mistakes made by the second branch of the Shen family cannot be solved by just a few strokes of the cane!"
