Chapter 60 Shen Yutang gets beaten
Shen Yutang was sleepy-eyed. He had suffered a series of huge blows last night. He had no choice but to drink in frustration. It was obvious that he had not sobered up yet.
Only when he heard Murong Yan'er's anxious call in his ears did he open his eyelids with difficulty.
He looked around, confused.
"Yan'er? Why are you here... Why am I lying on the ground?"
Seeing him wake up, Murong Yan'er cried even harder, tears falling down her face.
"Brother Yutang! What exactly happened at the palace banquet last night? Why did soldiers burst into the Murong Mansion so early in the morning and ransack the house without a word... Did father commit some misdeed that offended His Majesty?"
After Murong Chao entered the palace yesterday, he has not returned home since.
Before dawn in the morning, Liu asked people to inquire about the news, but the other party either did not know or avoided the people from Murong Mansion, fearing that they would be associated with them in the slightest.
So until now, Murong Yan'er still doesn't know what happened.
When she mentioned the palace banquet, Shen Yutang seemed to come back to his senses. The expression on his handsome face suddenly became three points gray, and his voice was hoarse and obscure.
"Lord Murong didn't offend His Majesty. He offended... Qingqing."
"What's the meaning?"
Murong Yan'er found it difficult to understand.
"It's only natural for father to discipline my sister. Even if his words were a bit harsh, it wouldn't be considered an offense, right?!"
Shen Yutang curled the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of self-mockery.
"Qingqing is the eldest princess... The Empress Dowager recognized her yesterday. Not to mention Lord Murong, even the civil and military officials in the court, who would dare to disrespect her?"
Murong Yan'er's eyes suddenly widened, and instantly turned red with jealousy.
"She's the eldest princess?! How is this possible..."
What right does that bitch have?! How can she be worthy of it!
If the Queen Mother really wanted to find the lost Princess, that person should be me! There must be some mistake... Murong Qing must have stolen my identity!
Before Murong Yan'er could recover from her shock and accept the news that was more painful than killing her.
Then they heard Jiang standing on the stone steps, looking down at the two of them and sneering loudly.
"From today on, Shen Yutang is no longer the prince of the Marquisate, nor is he my son! Yan'er, since you like him so much, then bring him home and take good care of him!
Oh, that's not right...it seems that the Murong Mansion has been ransacked, and you have become a homeless stray dog. Oh, it seems that you two unfortunate lovers will have to live on the streets and beg for food!"
Hearing this.
Shen Yutang sobered up immediately. He immediately got up from the ground and looked at Jiang Wanning in disbelief.
"Mother...you, you don't want me anymore? You want to kick me out of the mansion?!"
Jiang Wanning shook his sleeves and sighed.
He acted as if he was disappointed in his child and said with regret.
"Alas, I don't want to be like this, but who made you so useless? You're always courting death all day long! You can't even get a wife!
Now that you've bullied Qingqing like that, do you think the Queen Mother will let it go?
If I don't kick you out of the mansion, all the achievements your father fought so hard for will be ruined! Do you think that because of the mistakes you made alone, the entire mansion will be buried with you? Humph, if you still have a bit of backbone and conscience, don't stay here and refuse to leave! "
After saying that, Jiang Wanning turned around and walked into the mansion, giving orders.
"Butler, close the door!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Butler Sun responded quickly, not daring to persuade him any further.
He carefully stuffed the package he had picked up from the ground into Shen Yutang's arms, shook his head and said, "Master... Young Master, take care of yourself! This disaster is your own fault, you can't blame anyone else."
Watching the door of the Marquis' Mansion slowly closing, Shen Yutang slumped on the ground, his chest feeling empty, as if a piece of it had been gouged out.
Murong Yan'er's face was also pale, as if she found it even harder than him to accept the fact of being "abandoned".
"No, this is impossible...Brother Yutang, tell me this isn't true! You are the eldest son of the Marquis. How can Jiang Shi abolish you just like that?! Let's go find the Marquis—"
“That’s enough!”
Shen Yutang suddenly pushed her away, his eyes full of anxiety.
Murong Yan'er was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground, tears welling in her eyes: "Brother Yutang, you..."
Seeing her face covered in tears, Shen Yutang felt annoyance instead of heartache for the first time.
Thinking of his mother's mocking words yesterday, he felt extremely ashamed. He couldn't help but grab Murong Yan'er's neck and questioned her in a deep voice.
"Do you value the position of Crown Prince so much? If I can't become the Crown Prince, will you abandon me too?!"
Murong Yan'er was frightened by his cruel eyes, and her throat was strangled so that she couldn't breathe. After a long while, her face turned red, and she shook her head vigorously and uttered a few words.
“No, no…”
…
Inside the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Through the crack in the door, Jiang Wanning watched the movement outside with cold eyes. Seeing Shen Yutang pinching Murong Yan'er's neck, he couldn't help but cry out inwardly.
Strangle her! Strangle her!
Fight! Fight!
Seeing the lady clenching her fists with an expectant expression on her face, Butler Sun couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: This... Madam, there really is no need to be so obvious.
A moment later.
Jiang Wanning stood up straight, curling his lips in disdain.
"Useless thing! It seems the fire is still not hot enough... Lu Yao, go tell the Marquis to add more firewood! Burn it harder!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Seeing that Shen Yutang finally softened his heart and let go, Lu Yao was also disappointed. He immediately responded and ran out of the Marquis' Mansion.
…
evening.
Shen Yutang had just settled Liu and Murong Yan'er, who had been kicked out of their home, in the inn when he heard a commotion coming from the street.
Immediately following, Liu's maid ran in hurriedly and said in panic.
"Madam, something bad has happened! Something's happened to the Second Young Master!"
Liu was so frightened by the officers and soldiers who were raiding her property that she was completely dazed. Before she could even catch her breath, she stood up immediately after hearing this: "Heng'er... What happened to Heng'er?!"
The maid's face was filled with anxiety, and she didn't know how to start, so she just pointed out the window without thinking.
"Madam... Madam, please look outside..."
Upon seeing this, Liu hurried to the window with Murong Yan'er, lowered her head and looked at the street, and was almost fainted from shock!
Murong Heng somehow had his hands tied and was dragged to the ground, being pulled by a horse as he galloped through the streets. He was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn to shreds!
At first glance, you can't tell whether the person is alive or dead!
"Heng'er! My Heng'er... Ouch!" Liu was heartbroken. Trembling, she quickly tugged at Shen Yutang's sleeve, begging anxiously, "Yutang! Please save Heng'er! If this goes on, he'll be dragged to death!"
Although Shen Yutang didn't know why Murong Heng was dragged away, he couldn't resist Liu's pleading, so he immediately turned around and went downstairs, blocking the horsemen.
"Stop! You're committing violence in broad daylight, do you have any respect for the law?!"
“Ouch—”
Several people pulled the reins, looked at each other after hearing the words, and then showed a sarcastic look on their faces and laughed loudly.
"Hey, look who this is, he's so arrogant!"
"You still think you're the heir apparent of the Marquis's mansion? I heard that His Majesty deposed you from the throne yesterday, and early this morning, the Marquis's wife swept you out with a broom!"
"Instead of being a good consort, he offended the eldest princess and was divorced... How shameful!"
"As a human being, you've failed miserably! If it were me, I'd be so ashamed I'd kill myself!"
…
"Damn it! Shut up!"
Shen Yutang was so angry and embarrassed by the ridicule of several people that he rushed up and started fighting with them!
However, the other party was no pushover either. They were equally skilled and relied on their numbers to knock Shen Yutang to the ground in just a few moments. They then stepped on his head and crushed it hard!
"Why are you so arrogant? Without the status of a prince, you are nothing! It would be as easy for us to crush you to death as it is to crush an ant!"
Just at this time.
A carriage passed the intersection.
Nangong Jing was riding in front to escort them, and the person sitting in the carriage was none other than Murong Qing, who had just regained her status as the eldest princess.
