Chapter Forty-Eight: The Farce Ends
"Justice?" Murong Qianyan was as if he had heard some big joke, "Chen Wenwen, didn't you feel sorry when you said this?" Why did I abolish your cultivation back then, have you forgotten it all? ”
After hearing Murong Qianyan's words, Chen Wenwen's pupils shrank, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Chen Shanghua seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened back then?" ”
Murong Qianyan did not answer Chen Shanghua's question, but looked at Chen Wenwen and said with a smile, "Chen Wenwen, do you think it was you who told me what happened back then, or did I say it?" ”
Facing Murong Tianyan's sharp gaze, Chen Wenwen didn't dare to look directly at him. She tried hard to calm the fear in her heart, and dared to speak, "Murong Tianyan, what happened back then, you still hurt me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
Although Chen Wenwen said so, her reaction couldn't help but arouse everyone's suspicion. If she really hated Murong Qianyan so much for harming her like this, then she would definitely want to kill Murong Qianyan. However, now Chen Wenqing's appearance is more like being afraid, as if she has done something wrong.
Looking at Chen Wenwen's appearance, Chen Wenqing couldn't help cursing in her heart, she was really a waste with more than enough success. I thought that Chen Wenwen was still a little useful, but I didn't expect that it was just a few words from Murong who poured her face, and she couldn't collapse like this. No wonder she was abolished by Murong Tanyan back then, and she really deserved it.
However, no matter how much she despises Chen Wenwen in her heart, Chen Wenqing can only make amends immediately. She looked at Murong Qianyan and said with a sad and indignant expression, "Cousin Tanyan, you hurt Cousin Wenwen like this back then, and she will feel scared when she sees you now." Why do you want to be aggressive here? ”
Things have come to this point, and she must not let Chen Wenwen ruin her entire plan.
"Shut up for me." Murong didn't even glance at Chen Wen, she looked at Chen Wenwen, and continued to ask, "Chen Wenwen, you said it yourself, I just ruined your cultivation back then, is it already considered merciful." ”
"Murong Qianyan, you-" Such an aggressive attitude made Lin Nilan on the side very angry, but she had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted.
"I'm asking Chen Wenwen now, and everyone else who is not related to me will shut up." Murong tilted his face and glanced at Lin Nilan, "If you haven't remembered the lesson just now, then I can give you another impression." However, when the time comes, don't say that I don't know how to respect the elderly. Because you were the first to be disrespectful to the old. ”
Hearing this, Lin Nilan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Moreover, I don't know why, under the gaze of Murong Tanyan's eyes, she began to feel a pressure in her heart. That kind of coercion, as if she had felt it in the head of the family.
Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head and shook those unrealistic ideas out of her mind. What kind of person is Murong Qianyan, just a yellow-haired little girl, where can he be compared to the head of the family?
Lin Nilan didn't speak again. Chen Ruixing, who was on the side, saw this situation, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak again.
Murong Qianyan still asked Chen Wenwen, "You say!" Didn't you accuse me with righteous words just now? Why don't you talk about it now? Don't you feel like you're a victim? ”
Chen Wenwen lowered her head, not knowing how to refute. For a while, she really regretted agreeing to Chen Wenqing and came out to testify that Murong was embarrassed.
Ignoring Chen Wenwen, Murong raised his head, looked at Chen Shanghua and the three elders sitting on it, and said with a smile, "Grandfather, three elders, I don't want to mention this matter anymore. It's a pity that if someone wants to bring it up again today, then I can only tell what happened back then. ”
"Tilt your face, you say." The Great Elder touched his beard and said with a serious face, "What happened back then, if you tell us 1510, we will definitely not just listen to one side of the story. ”
Chen Wenqing had an ominous premonition, she always felt that it seemed that there was something inside this matter that she didn't know. What happened back then, Brother Huang didn't say it in detail, she just knew that Chen Wenwen was harmed like this by Murong Tanyan. Is there something else hidden in this matter?
Thinking of this, Chen Wen suddenly felt that the whole person was not good. However, by this time, she had no way out. If there is no way to suppress Murong Tianyan today, then she will not end well. It was impossible for Murong to let her go easily.
For a moment, she felt that she was in a dilemma.
Murong Tianyan ignored the others, and said directly, "Steward Chen and Chen Xianbin both knew very well about the events of that year. I saved Chen Wenwen, but Chen Wenwen pushed me out and sent me to death. It is for this reason that I abolished Chen Wenwen's cultivation as a punishment. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a small stone thrown into the calm lake, and it suddenly set off a wave of waves. Murong Qianyan, who was originally the party at fault, suddenly became a victim. And Chen Wenwen, who was originally a victim, has already become a deserving crime at this time.
Even Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan had a trace of suspicion on their faces when they looked at Chen Wenwen. Although they haven't seen each other for decades, they still have a certain understanding of the former Chen Wenwen. In the past, Chen Wenwen was indeed possible to do this kind of thing.
"You're talking nonsense." Chen Wenwen's face was full of panic, "Murong poured face, you spewed blood." ”
She didn't expect that Murong Qianyan would tell everything so directly. In the face of the contempt or displeasure from the others, she just wanted a crack in the ground to allow her to get in.
Murong Tianyan ignored Chen Wenwen's clamour, and she quickly and clearly told everything that happened in the dark forest back then. Including how they met, and how Chen Wenwen took revenge, and the incident that caused her to almost die in Huangquan, all of them were told in detail.
In the process of Murong pouring her face, Chen Wenwen really wanted to interrupt, but there was no way. Her head was getting lower and lower, and she didn't dare to make eye contact with anyone. She didn't know what to say to defend herself, and she wanted to refute it, but she couldn't.
At this time, she really regretted that she was fascinated for a while, and actually agreed to Chen Wenqing to come out to testify against Murong Qianyan. Now that things have come to this point, not only did they not have any impact on Murong Tianyan, but they also took out all the things of the year to talk about it.
"You're lying." After Murong Qianyan finished speaking, Lin Nilan pointed to her nose and retorted, "All this is just your words, you have harmed Wenwen like this, and you still dare to slander her here." Do you have a conscience? ”
Although after hearing Murong Tianyan's words, her heart was also shaken. But seeing Wenwen become like this, she couldn't think about whether it was Wenwen's fault. She just wanted Murong Tanyan to pay the price now.
Chen Ruixing on the side did not speak, but he was obviously on Chen Wenwen's side. Things have come to this point, and he has to put the blame on Murong Tianyan no matter what. Otherwise, everything they did today would be a joke.
"Who is right and who is wrong in this matter, and Chen Xianbin and Steward Chen know." Murong Tianyan didn't even glance at Lin Nilan, "Of course, if you don't think it's enough, then there is Si Huang of the Si family, and he also knows what happened." ”
Seeing Murong Qianyan's sworn appearance, and then looking at Chen Wenwen's weak heart, everyone can clearly see what is going on this time.
"Chen Wenwen, what happened back then?" Chen Shanghua was furious, he slapped the table hard towards Chen Wenwen and began to scold angrily, "You tell it honestly, if there is a lie, I will expel you from the Chen family." ”
At this time, Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan didn't dare to say a word anymore.
Under Chen Shanghua's coercion, Chen Wenwen felt that it was difficult for her to even breathe. She didn't dare say anything. She could see that this time the head of the family was really angry. She didn't even know what she was going to face next.
She really hated Chen Wen to death. If it weren't for Chen Wenqing's incitement, she wouldn't have fallen in love with Murong again. Now Chen Wenqing is standing by and watching, but she has to face the thunderous wrath of the head of the family.
Chen Wenqing on the side, in the face of Chen Wenwen's resentful eyes, she didn't even look at it. What she was thinking about now was how to get herself out. She didn't expect that the truth of what happened back then would be like this. Chen Wenwen deserves it, and Murong Tanyan's actions are already merciful.
Chen Wenwen was embarrassed to blame her. If it was at the beginning, Chen Wenwen would have told her everything directly. Then she wouldn't have made such a rash move, she would definitely think twice and find the best way to make a move. Now that things have taken such a big turn, she doesn't know what to do next.
Seeing that Chen Wenwen didn't say a word, Chen Shanghua didn't have any pity, he looked at Chen Wenwen who was kneeling there, and his deep voice sounded again, "Since you didn't say anything, it seems that you are going to call Xianbin and Steward Chen over now." ”
Because of the events of that year, Steward Chen was also implicated a lot, and now he is no longer a housekeeper in his own family. However, it is definitely not difficult to find him.
"Don't." Chen Wenwen subconsciously refused, and in the end, under Chen Shanghua's coercion, she could only nod, "Grandfather, what happened back then...... Indeed, it is as Murong Qianyan said. ”
She knew that even if she really called Steward Chen and her brother, things would not change in any way. There's no way Steward Chen could help her lie. And her brother had already warned her not to provoke Murong again. Now she's not only done it, but she's also left things running out of steam.
Even if her brother did come, he wouldn't be on her side. When the time comes, she will only look more miserable.
As soon as Chen Wenwen admitted it, everyone was stunned. Although they were already mentally prepared, when they heard that Chen Wenwen really admitted it, everyone was still angry. Especially Chen Shanghua and the three elders, they felt as if they had been tricked by someone.
Even Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan's faces did not look very good. They feel that it is like a farce that they have come to seek justice for Chen Wenwen now.
Chen Wen closed her eyes lightly, and only two words flashed in her mind, that is, it was over.
She felt like she was really done this time. Today's incident was initiated by her, and in the end, even if it will not be investigated for her, the head of the family will have a bad opinion of her. If her parents had known, they would have blamed her.
Moreover, today's incident, she has already offended Murong Qianyan. Murong Qianyan would not let her go easily, with Murong Qianyan's status in front of the head of the family, she could almost imagine her future life.
For a while, her heart was like a mess, and she couldn't figure out any clues.
"Nonsense." Chen Shanghua looked at Chen Wenwen and said in a stern tone, "You did such a thing, and you actually dared to sue the wicked people here." In your eyes, are there any of us who are elders? Playing us around and watching your parents get into trouble over your business. You're so daring! ”
"Chen Wenwen, this time, you have gone too far." The third elder's face was also very bad, "You still have the face to appear here, after so many years, not only have you not repented, but you have also intensified." You are to blame for the situation you are in today. ”
"Grandfather, the three elders, this time, it is indeed me who did something wrong." Chen Wenwen knelt there, tears flowed down, she gritted her teeth, and said, "However, all of today's things are because of Chen Wen's instigation, I will do such a thing, and please be aware of it." ”
The reason why she ended up in such a situation today is because Chen Wen was lightly harmed. Since Chen Wen watched her fall into such a situation and didn't come forward to help, then don't blame her for being ruthless and unjust.
"What?" Chen Shanghua also seemed to remember what happened just now, and his anger immediately spread to Chen Wenqing's body, "Wenqing, you said it yourself, what are your intentions in doing this?" ”
"That's right, the head of the family, it was Chen Wen who came to incite us." Chen Ruixing's eyes rolled, and he immediately said, "If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be here." I don't know what her intentions are. ”
For a while, all the spearheads were aimed at Chen Wenqing. A hint of anxiety flashed in her heart, but she also knew that the more anxious she was now, the more likely she would be to make mistakes, so she had to be calm.
Chen Wen lightly kowtowed in the direction of Chen Shanghua, there was no trace of panic on her face, and she said slowly, "Grandfather, please be clear, this time, it was Cousin Wenwen who cried to me, so I will come forward for her." My cousin and I have no grievances, so how could I think of framing her? Please also ask my grandfather to give me justice. ”
"Chen Wenqing, you are lying." Chen Wenwen was anxious, she pointed at Chen Wen and began to scold, "Obviously, it was you, the practitioner, who came to Brunei Pavilion to find me, saying that he wanted to deal with Murong Tanyan, and asked me to come out to testify and prove the fact that Murong Tanyan killed his fellow clan." If it weren't for your incitement, how could I be here? ”
"Cousin Wenwen, since you said so, then I have nothing more to say." Chen Wen turned her head lightly, looked at Chen Wenwen, and asked, "Also, if I really want to harm my cousin, then how can I look for you?" What happened back then was obviously your fault. ”
Hmph, Chen Wenwen, an idiot, if she had made things clear from the beginning, she would not have been in the situation she is in now. Now she still has the face to talk about her, and it's really unreasonable.
"You-you-" For a moment, Chen Wenwen was so angry that she could barely speak.
"I was only deceived for a while, and I looked at Cousin Wenwen very pitiful, so I would do such a thing, and I ask my grandfather to forgive me." Chen Wen said lightly and sincerely, "This time it was my granddaughter's fault, and my granddaughter was willing to accept the punishment." ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Wen got up lightly, bowed to Murong Tianyan, and said, "Cousin Tianyan, this time the incident is my fault, please don't worry about me." ”
Seeing Chen Wenqing's sincere and apologetic attitude, the corners of Murong Tianyan's mouth hooked up a touch of sarcasm, she looked at Chen Wenqing with a smile, and said, "If this incident, Cousin Wenqing is really just blinded, I naturally don't care." ”
However, if she hadn't been blinded, then she wouldn't have let it go.
I have to say that compared with Chen Wenwen, Chen Wenqing is really much calmer. Even at this point, he can so calmly put all the blame on Chen Wenwen.
It's just this mentality that Chen Wenwen can't reach. Therefore, this time, I am afraid that Chen Wenwen really has to take responsibility.
"It's not like this, it's not like this." Chen Wenwen wanted to explain, but she found that she didn't seem to say anything right, she looked at Chen Wenqing with red eyes, "You trampleman, you dare to harm me like this." ”
As she spoke, Chen Wenwen had already stepped forward directly, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed Chen Wen's face.
Soon, a blood mark appeared on Chen Wenqing's face.
And Chen Wenwen didn't stop there, she continued to fight Chen Wenqing. Although Chen Wenwen didn't have any cultivation, over the years, she still took a lot of pills given to her by Chen Xianbin. So compared to ordinary people, her physical strength is still very good.
It stands to reason that Chen Wen has a light cultivation, so it should be impossible for Chen Wenwen to be injured so easily. However, because Chen Wenwen no longer has cultivation, she feels that if she uses cultivation, in the eyes of others, even if she wins, she will not be able to win, and maybe in the end people will think that she is bullying.
Moreover, in such a situation, if she does not fight back, in the eyes of outsiders, she will appear to be deeply righteous.
Now that something like this has happened, she must not let the head of the family and the three elders have a worse impression of her.
Because of this, after a fight, Chen Wenwen was not injured, but Chen Wen was light, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed.
"Stop it."
With Chen Shanghua's angry voice and the power that swung out, Chen Wenqing and Chen Wenwen were separated.
Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan on the side did not stop them from beginning to end, nor did they say anything. Things have become the way they are, and they don't dare to express any opinions. Moreover, Chen Wenwen seems to have the upper hand, so it is even more unlikely that they will make a move.
Murong tilted his cheek with one hand, watching this farce, he couldn't help but yawn. She was feeling a little bored.
Chen Shanghua looked at the group of people coldly, and said, "Chen Wenwen's wicked person sued first, framed the people of the same clan, and from today onwards, he will be expelled from the Chen family, and he will no longer be allowed to claim to be the Chen family." Chen Wenqing, assisting Chen Wenwen to make trouble, from today, he will be grounded for three months, and he will not be allowed to enter the secret realm for ten years after that. Chen Ruixing, Lin Nilan, although you love your daughter, but before you can figure out the facts, you made false accusations without authorization, and all cultivation resources were stopped for five months after that. ”
After hearing Chen Shanghua's verdict, no one dared to say anything more. Moreover, they also know very well in their hearts that no matter what they say, the head of the family will not change his mind.
Only Chen Wenwen, the whole person seemed to be stupid, and there was almost no reaction. She didn't expect that she hadn't been kicked out of the Chen family when she became a waste, and now because of this incident, she was expelled. So what's next for her? She doesn't have any cultivation now, how can she survive outside?
The farce ended, and the people in the front hall dispersed. Even Chen Wenwen was pulled away by Lin Nilan.
When Murong Qianyan left, he lightly showed a meaningful smile towards Chen Wen.
Seeing Murong's smile, Chen Wen couldn't help but shudder.
