Chapter 31: The dream is shattered, and it's time to wake up

Previous Chapter

"Your Highness, pay attention." Shui Lingzhen secretly exerted force and pushed Qin Yuan away.

"Now that the two princes are here, this case ...... Why don't you have it personally tried by His Royal Highness King Xian? Feng Taishou saw that he was being ignored again, and hurriedly spoke.

"Not necessarily." Qin Mu stepped aside without a trace, and said with a smile: "The adult can come to the trial, this king believes that the adult will be able to handle it impartially." ”

He has an innate elegance in him, a dignity engraved in his bones.

"That'...... What about His Royal Highness King Ning? ”

"This king is here to deliver something, and you can judge it. But how to judge, you should know in your heart. With that, Qin Yuan put his arms around Shui Lingzhen and went to sit down next to him.

"Shen Xie, this official asks again, who are you suing with your daughter?"

"Back to my lord, the woman wants to sue the domestic servant Shen Chuxi, he killed our master." Mrs. Shen's tears rained down.

Feng Taishou pretended to be surprised: "When did it happen?" ”

"It's noon today."

"Chu Xi, Mrs. Shen said that you murdered Master Shen, what do you have to say?"

"My lord! It is clearly Chu Xi's deliberate murder! Mrs. Shen's eyes glared at the boss, as if she was going to eat Chu Xi.

"My lord, the grass people are wronged." Chu Xi knelt straight and stared straight at Feng Taishou.

"Shen Xie, this official has always paid attention to evidence in handling cases. Why do you say...... Chu Xi, he deliberately murdered Master Shen? ”

"My lord, my lord treats his subordinates harshly on weekdays, this Chu Xi has often caused trouble since he came to our Shen Mansion, and it is normal for the master to teach him a lesson. Just a few days ago, my lord whipped him in front of all the family members, and he ...... He's holding a grudge. ”

Feng Taishou squinted a pair of eyes that were already small, and said softly: "Chu Xi...... Is there such a thing? ”

"It is true."

"Adult" Shen Menglin broke away from Mrs. Shen's hand, knelt forward, and stopped beside Chu Xi: "Chu Yi was whipped by my father that day because I sneaked out to play, and he suffered it for me!" ”

"Monlin! What nonsense! Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Menglin back to her.

"Mother! I'm not talking nonsense! ”

"Chu Xi, do you have any evidence to prove that you were wronged?"

"Lord Hui" Chu Xi glanced back at Shui Lingzhen: "This girl can prove that the medicine that the grass people gave to the master is not poisoned." ”

"Girl, is he telling the truth?" Feng Taishou smiled and arched his hand towards Shui Lingzhen.

"Hmm"

"Does the girl keep the evidence?"

"Don't hide it, the evidence has been destroyed." Shui Lingzhen told the truth.

"That girl can tell what kind of poison is in Master Shen?"

"Not yet, I have to bother the government to make an inspection before I can make a decision."

Seeing that Feng Taishou was speechless, Mrs. Shen said in a loud voice: "Girl, since you don't know anything, please don't meddle in our Shen family's housework anymore." ”

Hearing this, Qin Mu suddenly laughed softly, "Madam, have you forgotten?" It was you who made this king and Wen ...... The water girl came together to be a witness. ”

Madam Shen was annoyed and angry, and shook her head unreasonably, "Your Royal Highness, Chu Xi is just a ruthless thing that will take revenge, and it is not worthy of your protection." ”

Qin Yuan's cold gaze swept over, "Madame's words are inevitably a little more, do you know that this is a public court?" ”

Shen Menglin took Mrs. Shen's arm and said softly, "Mother...... Why don't you let Taishou-sama check it out. ”

She really believed in Chu Xi, and he had been her personal bodyguard since he was very young.

Over the years, she has been beaten for her and carried the black pot.

He has always been very honest and never lies, even if Shen Ting beat him, he never had half a complaint.

How could such an honest man kill someone.

"No need to check again, I saw with my own eyes that the master will die after drinking the medicine sent by Chu Yi! He was the one who poisoned him! Mrs. Shen insisted that Chu Xi was the murderer.

"This ...... It's going to be tough. Feng Taishou's face was embarrassed.

Shui Lingzhen seemed to see Feng Taishou's embarrassment, pulled away Qin Yuan's claws on his waist, got up and said, "Lord Taishou, you have always paid attention to evidence in handling cases, and now the evidence is incomplete, if the case is hastily decided, I am afraid it will damage your wisdom." It's better for me to wait a few days to investigate this case in detail, and when the evidence is conclusive, it is not too late for a retrial. ”

"Hmm...... It's good. I wonder how many days the girl thinks? ”

"Five days."

"Good! Then the official will give you five days, and after five days, if there is no evidence, the official will have no choice but to behead Shen Chuxi according to the law. ”

"Thank you, sir."

"Come on, put Shen Chuxi in prison first."

Qin Yuan, Qin Mu and Shui Lingzhen walked out together. The aura of the three people was extremely powerful, and the onlookers unconsciously gave way to a way.

Mrs. Shen felt embarrassed, and pulled Shen Menglin to go to the house.

"Mother, I want to walk alone."

"Okay, go ahead. Chu Xi has been with you for so long, and if you killed the master today, you should forget about him. ”

Looking at the back of Mrs. Shen leaving, Shen Menglin was puzzled.

The relationship between the mother and the father is very good, which is well known to everyone in Yancheng.

But what's wrong with her today, she doesn't look like her with a gentle temperament on weekdays.

And also...... Why did she insist that it was Chu Xi?

"Your Highnesses stay!" Shen Menglin quickly caught up with the three people in front.

"Miss Shen, I hope you will mourn about Lingzun's affairs." Qin Yuan and Qin Mu met their eyes before speaking.

Although he is cold on weekdays, he is not a ruthless person.

"Your Royal Highness King Ning, please rest assured, I will not let the murderer go unpunished." Shen Menglin's eyes were full of determination, and she didn't know whether to say it to Qin Yuan or to herself.

"Then Miss Shen should be careful when she returns home." After saying that, Qin Yuan turned around and left.

"Wait...... Water girl, this king and the fourth brother went back to the inn, I wonder if I can trouble you to send Miss Shen back to the Shen Mansion safely? Qin Mu looked at Shui Lingzhen and spoke gently.

"Okay."

On the way back to the Shen Mansion, Shui Lingzhen was silent as always, and Shen Menglin was unusually quiet today.

"I have something to ask you before you go in." Standing in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion, Shen Menglin grabbed Shui Lingzhen's sleeve.

And this time, Shui Lingzhen didn't push her away as usual, just nodded: "Hmm." ”

"You're a woman?"

"Hmm"

"The recently rumored Wenhou righteous daughter?"

"Hmm"

"What's your name?"

"Shui Lingzhen"

"Smack"

Shen Menglin raised her hand and slapped her, but Shui Lingzhen tilted her head slightly, and she accepted it.

"Why don't you hide?"

"I deceived you, and you should call back."

"Do you know that I really like you?" Shen Menglin gritted her teeth and looked at Shui Lingzhen.

"I know." Shui Lingzhen still stood quietly.

"Then you're watching me act absurdly and never intend to tell the truth?" The calmer Shui Lingzhen was at this time, the more angry Shen Menglin became.

"The dream has been shattered, Miss Shen should wake up."

"Smack"

Another slap in the same spot.

Although Shen Menglin didn't have much internal strength, her strength was not small under this anger, and soon, half of Shui Lingzhen's face was swollen.

"Shui Lingzhen, you really look like a man! But even a man is as emotionless as you! Get out! ”

Shen Menglin pushed Shui Lingzhen away, covered her face and ran into the Shen Mansion, shouting as she ran: "Close the door!" Don't let her in! Don't let her in! ”
