Zhao Weilong immediately sensed Yu Chenfeng's anger. Although Yu Chenfeng was a powerless and sickly prince, he was still of royal blood after all. Even though he had the queen's support, he thought the queen would not go into direct conflict with the royal family for him. So no matter what happened, he would always be the one who suffered.
Thinking of this, Zhao Weilong no longer cared whether Zhao Qianhuan was sick or not. He angrily scolded: "Bold Huan'er, how dare you contradict the King of Chen like this?
Prince Chen, I, Huan'er, am young and ignorant. I hope you can forgive my faults and my outspokenness. Since this masked girl is your savior, I, Zhao, will not dare to make things difficult for her.
However...it is indeed because of this girl that my Huan'er became so ill, so I beg the Prince of Chen to seek justice for my Huan'er."
Yu Chenfeng nodded and asked Zhao Qianhuan, "Miss Zhao, why are you so sure that Miss Shu was the one who cast the Gu on you?"
"Of course I'm sure. Yesterday, I went to the mountains behind Guangming Village to search for Guilan for you. A snake entangled me in the mountains and I killed it. I saw this woman bury the snake's body and the ten cents I paid her for soiling her clothes when I killed it. She kept muttering to herself, 'Snake Immortal, if you are still alive and want revenge, don't look for the owner of that money.'
Your Majesty, if this isn't harming me, then what is it?"
Yu Chenfeng turned his gaze to Shu Jiaying and asked, "Miss Shu, is what Miss Zhao said true?"
Shu Jiaying bowed to the people present and said calmly, "Prince Chen, why don't you ask Miss Zhao how she got rid of the snake and why she had to compensate me for soiling my clothes?"
Yu Chenfeng had probably heard most of the story back at Zhenghe Hall, but he didn't know which version Zhao Weilong had heard. He asked cooperatively, "Miss Zhao, can you tell me the two questions you heard Miss Shu ask?"
He added: "I hope to hear the truth."
“I…I…”
After hesitating for a long time and seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhao Qianhuan could only pout and say, "I was entangled by a snake at that time, and it was this woman who helped me get rid of the snake. Because I was entangled by the snake for a long time, I got angry and chopped off the snake's head with a knife.
Therefore, I soiled her clothes, so I also gave her money as compensation. You see, her clothes were so torn, and giving her ten cents was more than enough. "
Zhao Weilong didn't think anything was wrong with what he said. He supported Zhao Qianhuan and said, "My daughter didn't mean to stain your clothes. Why did you cast a spell on her?"
"You didn't mean to dirty my clothes? This uncle..."
Hearing the name "Uncle", Zhao Weilong almost wanted to vomit blood. Was he very familiar with this ugly woman that she actually called him like that?
Shu Jiaying expressed her disapproval of Zhao Weilong's gloomy face. She continued, "I can understand Miss Zhao was angry because the snake was wrapped around her, but she chopped off the snake I caught without saying a word. If her knife skills were a little off, would that mean I would have been chopped off as well?
If she had warned me in advance, I wouldn't have been frightened by her, and my clothes wouldn't have been stained with snake blood."
"So you're going to put a curse on her?"
“…”
He gave Zhao Weilong a speechless look. Why did this old man keep harping on this matter? Couldn't he hear the point?
