He must have heard it wrong.
How is that possible?
But why did no one raise any objection?
Shen Luchu stared at Zhou Jingshen, his eyes full of doubts.
Zhou Jingshen heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, as the weight hanging over his head finally fell to the ground.
"Lyulchu, Jiang Shiyuan really wants to kiss her."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Luchu: "Impossible, it's fake!"
It was just that the entire hall was in chaos, and Shen Luchu's voice did not attract anyone's attention.
It wasn't just the hall that was in chaos, Shen Luchu's mind was even more confused.
"Didn't you say Pei Ziye? Why did you change to Pei Che again?"
"If it's true, why didn't Pei Che come? Doesn't he know what kind of person Xie Jingxiu is? Doesn't he know that Xie Jingxiu and the Jiang family don't get along? Doesn't he know that Xie Jingxiu bullied Jiang Shiyuan ten years ago?"
"It was me. Ten years ago, I blocked the wine for her."
Chen Luchu seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope, and murmured, "Yes, it was me. I helped her out. She liked me, she always liked me, and she even agreed to marry me."
“It’s fake.”
“Depth of Field, do you think she wants to take revenge on me?”
Zhou Jingshen quietly looked at Shen Luchu's face. Shen Luchu's face was terribly gloomy, and in his gloom was hidden anger, regret, and pain.
His expression clearly showed that he believed it.
"I'll go find her and ask her clearly!" Shen Luchu shouted, and was about to rush over to find Jiang Shiyuan.
Zhou Jingshen grabbed him and said, "Don't you think this is not chaotic enough? Who do you want to kill?"
Shen Luchu was grabbed and couldn't move, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Shiyuan who was in chaos.
Just when the Fifth Prince's Mansion was in chaos, Xie Ruoruo also ran into the imperial study room screaming.
The emperor was worrying about the issue of choosing a crown prince, and the table was piled with memorials praising the fifth prince, but the more there were, the more deliberate they seemed to him.
No one is perfect, so how can they be flawless?
Just as he was frowning in thought, Xie Ruoruo rushed in and shouted:
"Father, Father, please go and save my brother. He is about to be beaten to death."
When Xie Ruoruo shouted "beaten to death", she did so with extra force, as if she was extremely anxious.
The emperor was startled and furious: "Who is so bold as to use force against the prince?"
"It's Jiang Shiyuan!" Xie Ruoruo replied.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, a white dough ball appeared in his mind, hugging his legs and calling him "Emperor Uncle" and "Your Majesty Uncle" in various ways sweetly.
She is Wan's niece and the daughter of the Huaicheng couple.
I used to come to the palace often when I was a child, but I have come less frequently in recent years.
The emperor frowned even more tightly. Although the girl was a little naughty, she would not go so far.
"Why would Jiang Shiyuan hit your brother? She's just a little girl..."
Xie Ruoruo pretended to be anxious and said, "Father, it's true. Jiang Shiyuan was holding a whip and chasing after my brother. The whip was left to her by her mother. Father, do you remember that when Jiang Shiyuan's parents were killed, not even their bodies were found, only a long whip of her mother was found."
The emperor's expression darkened.
Alas, he was sorry for what he did to the Huaicheng couple.
"Why did Jiang Shiyuan beat your brother?" The emperor was full of doubts.
Xie Ruoruo said indignantly, "Because my brother wanted to force Jiang Shiyuan to drink, but Jiang Shiyuan didn't want to. Jiang Shiyuan was so bold. It was just a glass of wine. Even if Miss Sun from the Duke's Mansion was drugged by my brother in public, and the daughter of the Minister of Rites was kicked into the lake by my brother, they didn't dare to refuse. But Jiang Shiyuan turned hostile in public!"
"What?"
The emperor's face darkened and his eyes became cloudy when he heard this. He looked at the memorial in his hand praising the fifth prince.
Good, good, what a "righteous heart" and "kindness"!
Does that mean he, the emperor, is blind?
"No one has tried to dissuade your brother from behaving this way. Why have the Duke's Mansion and the Vice Minister's Mansion never impeached me?"
Xie Ruoruo raised her head and said in a tone that said, "How dare they? My royal brother said that if they dare to impeach us, I will take their daughters into the palace as concubines and torture them in every way!"
"How ridiculous!" The emperor stretched out his hand and slapped the dragon table.
Xie Ruoruo was startled and shrank her neck, pretending not to understand, and continued to complain: "Father, in addition to Jiang Shiyuan, you have to punish Master Pei as well. It's because Master Pei backed Jiang Shiyuan that Jiang Shiyuan dared to be so arrogant!"
As she spoke, Xie Ruoruo repeated Hongdou's words word for word.
"Master Pei not only doesn't take my brother seriously, he doesn't even take you seriously, the father."
When the emperor heard this, his expression eased a little, his brows relaxed, and he sneered.
This is not like Pei Che's style at all.
However, this was not the first time. Years ago, he barged into the imperial study like a fool.
That's good. People have emotions and six desires, so they are easy to control.
If it weren't for the appearance of Jiang Shiyuan, he would not have handed over the power to him.
Xie Ruoruo looked at the emperor's expression, changed the subject, and whispered, "Maybe it's not just because of a glass of wine. Jiang Shiyuan has always felt that it was the emperor's brother who spread rumors about her parents. She is taking this opportunity to take revenge."
The emperor's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again.
…
In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, the chaos continues—
Jiang Shiyuan was waving a whip and chasing Xie Jingxiu. If she didn't stand up, it would be fine. But now that she stood up, she was bound to make Xie Jingxiu unforgettable.
When she gives gifts, she always wants them to be unique!
New hatred plus old grudge, let alone Pei Che's support, even if he didn't, she would make a big fuss today!
It would be best if the case was brought to the court and before the emperor, so that everyone in the capital would know that Xie Jingxiu was a despicable villain with no moral integrity or conscience.
Forget about being a crown prince!
The fifth prince hid while shouting, "Guards, guards, protect the emperor."
No one outside answered.
There was no other reason, because there was a man named Yu Liang standing outside the hall.
Yu Liang said nothing, but took out his shiny shoes to ensure that his wife's interest would not be disturbed.
In the hall, once someone approached Jiang Shiyuan, Hongdou, who was standing on the table, would shout:
"Oh my, you are so bold! You dare to touch the precious thing of the Grand Tutor? Believe it or not, I will tell my Grand Tutor!"
Due to the reputation of Master Pei, everyone dared not stop Jiang Shiyuan and could only protect the Fifth Prince. Jiang Shiyuan's whip was quick and fierce, and he continued to whip the Fifth Prince.
Snakes and rats came from the same nest, and now they are all gone.
As a result, the Fifth Prince was chased all over the hall and fled in panic. He ran to the female guests' seats, and Miss Yang quietly stretched out her foot.
With a thud, the fifth prince fell to the ground.
The assistant minister's daughter took advantage of the chaos, pretended to be panicked, and poured the wine in her hand onto the fifth prince's face.
Miss Sun from the Duke's Mansion was also very frightened and accidentally stepped on the Fifth Prince.
The situation got out of control, and the entire hall was in chaos. The Fifth Prince got up from the ground and ran away, cursing:
"Jiang Shiyuan, you crazy woman!"
"You're just a tool for a marriage alliance, stop flattering yourself! How could Master Pei possibly like you!"
"If I were Master Pei, I would definitely... Ouch..."
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were red with anger, and he whipped him with a whip: "Only in your eyes, everyone is a tool. Don't compare yourself to the Grand Tutor. You are not qualified. You are not even as good as a hair of the Grand Tutor. My Grand Tutor is brilliant and unparalleled in the world. No one can compare to him."
The footsteps outside the hall suddenly stopped, as if they wanted to listen again, but only a provocative voice came from the hall.
"Jiang Shiyuan, if you really have weight in Master Pei's heart, why don't you call someone? Call your future husband and see if he will support you?" Xie Jingxu said sarcastically.
Pei Taifu has been sent to Yuzhou by him. Unless he grows wings and flies back, Jiang Shiyuan will never walk out of this gate alive!
"Humph, I was right, Jiang Shiyuan. In Master Pei's eyes, you are not even a tool."
Xie Jingxu smiled triumphantly, but before his smile could fully develop, a loud announcement suddenly came from outside the palace gate -
"Master Pei has arrived——"
