Chapter 542 Where does the face come from?
Shen Shuyi looked normal, but he could tell that Shen Jingchuan's question meant he had some doubts about him.
She looked at Shen Jingchuan and said seriously, "My daughter was invited by the princess to go to Fengbo Pavilion for a drink and a chat. Princess Guining did express her appreciation to my daughter and did ask my daughter if she was willing to marry the prince..."
Shen Jingchuan looked slightly stunned, as if he had not expected that this would actually happen.
But after hearing this, he felt even more disgusted with Princess Guining and was even more dissatisfied.
How could she, the legitimate daughter of a minister, marry her foolish son!
"How did you respond?"
"My daughter didn't say she would die. She just said she would consider it. If the princess is sincere enough, she can meet with the prince first."
"The princess was kind and didn't force me to do anything. She let my daughter go. Then my daughter met the old lady of the Sun family on the way. Because I helped the elder sister of the Sun family in the palace some time ago, the old lady kept my daughter by her side to talk..."
"As for what Fifth Sister said, I know nothing about it. Later, it was Old Lady Sun who heard the news, and my daughter and Old Lady Sun rushed over together. As for how Second Sister ended up in the prince's bed, I really don't know."
Compared to those crying, hysterical women, Shen Shuyi's calmness and calmness made Shen Jingchuan feel more trustworthy.
What's more, what Shen Shuyi said not only had no flaws, but he also had the old lady of the Sun family as a witness. How could it be false?
Qin Xuerong came back to her senses and saw that Shen Jingchuan was about to believe Shen Shuyi with just a few words.
He immediately said, "Master! Even if Shen Shuyi has always been by Old Madam Sun's side, it doesn't prove that Zhen Jie'er was not designed by her!"
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "According to what mother said, everyone present today must testify on their own behalf."
With just one sentence, Qin Xuerong was speechless.
Shen Shuyi looked at her with a half-smile, and said again: "If mother thinks it was me, shouldn't mother produce evidence?"
"Besides, this is my first time going to the Princess's Mansion. How can I be so capable as to send my third sister to the prince's bed?"
"That's enough!" Shen Jingchuan didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore, so he said, "Lock Qin Xuerong in Ruixue Courtyard and don't allow her to go in or out, and no one is allowed to visit her! All her food, clothing and expenses will be reduced to the same as your aunt's!"
Qin Xuerong's pupils dilated and her eyes were filled with shock.
"master!"
Shen Jingchuan was furious. If it weren't for Shen Jingan, he would have given her a letter of divorce.
Qin Xuerong burst into tears. He clearly wanted to humiliate her.
In this case, apart from having the empty title of mistress of the house, isn't she even worse than the concubines in the mansion?
"As for Shen Jingzhen, lock her up first, and ask the doctor to prescribe medicine to get rid of this evil creature for me! After she recovers, send her to a nunnery!" Shen Jingchuan now felt annoyed just by looking at her.
"As for Shen Meiru! She will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days, and her monthly salary will be suspended for a year!"
"father!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Meiru fell to the ground, crying out of breath.
She really couldn't accept it. Why were Qin Xuerong and Shen Jingzhen's crimes more serious than hers, but their punishments were far less than hers!
Why…why…
Shen Jingchuan was furious and was about to leave, but Shen Shuyi stood up and said, "Father, I have something to say."
Shen Jingchuan frowned and reluctantly stopped to look at Shen Shuyi.
Everyone in the group was worried, fearing that Shen Shuyi would take advantage of their misfortune and make their situation even more difficult.
But what people didn't expect was that Shen Shuyi made excuses for Qin Xuerong.
"Father, I think the punishment for mother is too severe. When my second brother passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, if others know that you punished mother like this, my second brother will probably lose face..."
"Besides, my mother is as humiliated and heartbroken as you are. I hope my father will spare my life for the sake of our past friendship."
Qin Xuerong was a little confused. She never expected that at this time, Shen Shuyi would still speak for her.
No, she must have a conspiracy!
What on earth does she want to do!
But no matter what Shen Shuyi's conspiracy is, she must first get rid of her current predicament.
"Yes, Master! Who would be more heartbroken than me as a mother when Sister Zhen did such a thing! It's not that I haven't disciplined her before, but could I have done it?"
Shen Jingzhen was stunned for a moment, then realized that her mother was going to put all the blame on her!
"Qin Xuerong! You are talking nonsense! When have you ever cared about me? You only have your good son in your eyes! Only Shen Jingyu!"
"From childhood to adulthood, you always made me learn from Shen Jingyu. I always fall behind Shen Jingyu in everything! You stepped on my happiness to let Shen Jingyu take the top position. For her sake, you don't care about my happiness at all! How can you have the nerve to say that you did it for me and that you disciplined me!"
Shen Jingzhen was obviously also furious.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuerong's face turned green, and she slapped Shen Jingzhen on the shoulder again and again: "You bastard! Do you have any conscience? Do you have any conscience? You shamelessly committed adultery and got pregnant with a bastard, and you actually blame me as your mother! How much I have worried about you over the years!"
Because of Shen Shuyi's words, Qin Xuerong and Shen Jingzhen started to quarrel.
Moreover, because Qin Xuerong took action, Shen Jingzhen also started to fight back.
Zhang Jinping, who was watching from the side, exclaimed that it was so exciting and enjoyable.
It was not until he saw Shen Shuyi's signal that he came to his senses and immediately sent someone forward to separate the two.
"How shameful! How shameful!" Shen Jingchuan was so angry that his eyes turned black.
"You don't need to plead for her, just lock her up!" Shen Jingchuan pointed at Qin Xuerong and shouted angrily.
After saying that, Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Jingzhen and was about to speak when Shen Shuyi took the initiative to speak again.
"Father, if we abort the child like this, it will inevitably lead to gossip. Why don't we wait a few days and see what happens to the Feng family's attitude first?"
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were calm as she looked directly at Shen Jingchuan.
The words that Shen Jingchuan was about to say suddenly stopped for some reason.
What she meant was... with this child, maybe she could control the Feng family?
Shen Jingchuan forced himself to remain calm. If this happened under normal circumstances, perhaps the Feng family would really turn against him.
But now this matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city, and I am afraid that it will reach the ears of His Majesty.
If he really let Shen Jingzhen give birth to this child, the Feng family would probably not ignore it.
Otherwise, you will inevitably be known as being heartless and criticized.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Jingzhen coldly: "Are you sure the baby in your belly is Feng Bochang's?"
Shen Jingzhen was stunned for a moment, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Yes! I would never dare to lie. I was driven to the village at that time, and I saved Brother Feng by coincidence! Later... Later, we fell in love with each other..."
"Enough!" Shen Jingchuan frowned, as if he was thinking.
Shen Shuyi immediately advised: "Father, it's not too late to think about it for a few days before making a decision. After all, if the child is gone, it's gone. But if you delay for a few days before aborting the baby, it won't delay anything."
Hearing this, Shen Jingzhen nodded vigorously. At this moment, she felt indescribable gratitude towards Shen Shuyi.
