Chapter 137: Confrontation in court
The ancestral hall of the Sheng family was built in the northwest corner of the Sheng Mansion, and Shen Yu was in the wind under her feet, her steps were hurried and fast, and her heart was also up and down.
Hexiang panted and chased after him, shouting vigorously, "Miss, you go slower, go slower." ”
The Sheng family rarely uses family law, even if they act like Sheng Yanwei and cause trouble at home, the old lady will reprimand them at most.
The rod is a hundred reproaches, which shows the seriousness of the matter.
The old lady was angry, the people of the clan reprimanded, the Sheng family was silent, and just after the hour, the courtyard was quiet and silent.
The masters all gathered in the ancestral hall, and the lights in each courtyard were turned off, and the surrounding darkness made it more and more dazzling to see the lights of the ancestral hall.
When Shen Yu pushed the door in, two tall family members were holding one-person-high sticks to carry out family law.
Sheng Yanqing knelt in front of the tablet of the ancestors of the Sheng family, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he endured it without saying a word.
"Y'all stop?" Shen Yu took a few steps forward and blocked in front of Sheng Yanqing.
The people of the clan opened their eyes one by one, and they didn't realize for a long time who the woman who came in was.
After not seeing her for more than ten days, Shen Yu was not depressed, but became more and more beautiful and moving. She wore a blue floral gown, black trousers, and long braided black hair that hung down at one side.
is obviously dressed as a maid, but on her, she has a unique charm, like a beautiful peasant girl, kind and simple.
The people of the clan stared at each other, and it took a long time before someone said, "Isn't this the Shen family who fled?" Why did you disappear for more than ten days and come back by yourself? ”
In the ancestral hall, the people of the Sheng family and the people of the clan sat on both sides, Shen Yu turned her back to the people of the Sheng family, and the people behind her did not see her face clearly.
Hearing the words of the eldest young grandmother, the eldest lady immediately took the case, "Shen, you still have the face to come back, you shameless, where have you been for more than ten days?" Our Sheng family's face is really lost by you! My son Yanming doesn't have a daughter-in-law like you, and the Sheng family doesn't have a young grandmother like you! ”
The majestic and dignified lady in front of outsiders suddenly became so angry that the people of the clan did not dare to intervene.
"Someone, arrest this unruly woman for me! Today, I must ask her to excuse Yanming! The eldest lady shouted angrily.
Outside the ancestral hall, there were cronies brought by the eldest lady, and immediately several family members rushed in to make a move on Shen Yu.
Shen Yu has lost her momentum now, and she is no longer a high-ranking young grandmother, and the subordinates have made enough efforts to drag people away.
This is, there was an angry shout from behind Shen Yu, "Who dares!" ”
Sheng Yanqing stood up, his tall and straight body firmly protecting Shen Yu behind him.
"You...... You unfilial son! The eldest lady's tongue trembled, "You actually dare to defend her in front of outsiders, do you know that she is your sister-in-law!" ”
Sheng Yanqing glanced at the eldest lady, and her voice was deep, "It is precisely because she is my sister-in-law, I work with her in the tea house, and I know her personality, so I can't let you bend into tricks and wronged good people." ”
Shen Yu was protected by him, and when she heard him say this, she had a number in her heart.
This time the family law was not because the private relationship between the two was revealed, Sheng Yanqing never admitted anything in person.
The eldest lady was about to continue, and the old lady on the side spoke: "Okay, since the Shen family is back, then today I will explain this matter clearly in front of all the clan elders." ”
She intercepted the eldest lady's words, because she was afraid that she would be impulsive and make a mistake and say something that should not be said.
"I naturally came back to prove my innocence, and I don't bear any trumped-up charges." Shen Yu walked out from behind Sheng Yanqing, she raised her head and smiled lightly, signaling him to rest assured.
Shen Yu saluted the old lady, and then said, "I haven't been anywhere else these days, but I was taken back by Mrs. Shen." Everyone must also know that the Shen family is my maiden family, and when such a big thing happened, Mrs. Shen learned the news, so she made this decision and forcibly took me back to the Shen family. ”
The patriarch gently stroked his white goatee, which was considered to be in recognition of this statement.
This kind of thing is not exquisite. But where Shen Yu went is not the focus today.
The patriarch said coldly: "Shen Clan, back to the affair between you and Sheng Yanqing, human and material evidence are gathered, how can you prove that you two were wronged?" ”
"How to prove ......" Shen Yu pondered.
The eldest lady rolled her eyes silently, "You couldn't produce evidence before, and after running out for more than ten days, you have evidence?" ”
The second lady took a sip of tea leisurely, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement.
Shen Yu smiled gently, "Is it possible to prove the innocence of me and the second master as long as I prove that I am still innocent?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the women in the room fell on her, and the elders of the clan here looked away.
A woman's innocence, how can such a thing be discussed in public?
"No way!" The eldest lady and Sheng Yanqing said in unison.
The two looked at each other, Sheng Yanqing's eyes were burning, and the eldest lady's face was grim.
Shen Yu walked past Sheng Yanqing and said indifferently: "I am Sheng Yanming's wife, if others want to frame my innocence, they are disrespectful to Yanming, and I will not let people slander him to the death." ”
This is for the eldest lady to hear.
She added, "Since I decided to stay in the Sheng family, I wouldn't care about the world's words, I only lived for myself. This kind of trumped-up accusation, don't want to put it on my head. ”
Her clear gaze swept over Sheng Yanqing's face and paused for a moment.
She was born in the 21st century, unlike these old feudals, what about the physical examination, as long as she can get rid of the crime, it is nothing.
Hearing her say this, Sheng Yanqing's clenched fist slowly loosened.
Shen Yu is not an ordinary woman, he knows that no matter what, she will not suffer this kind of grievance.
None of the people present spoke, and the second lady said idly: "Since the Shen family is willing to do it, why not test it?" The women of our Sheng family must be innocent, otherwise how can they be worthy of the three archways. ”
Now it seems that the physical examination is indeed the fastest way to solve the problem, and the old lady also nodded.
The two mothers-in-law of the Sheng family were examined, both of whom were cronies of the old lady, Shen Yu followed them to the side room, and after a while, they came out.
The two mothers-in-law stood in front of the old lady and nodded.
Seeing this, the eldest lady's face was blue and white, and her expression was also wonderful.
As Shen Yu's mother-in-law, this is obviously a good thing, but it inexplicably makes people's hearts panic.
The old lady's face softened a lot, and she said slowly: "In this case, although the cause of the matter is to be clarified, it shows that the Shen family and Yanqing are innocent. ”
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a voice outside the door said: "Old lady, the little one has evidence that can prove the innocence of the eldest and young grandmothers." ”
