Chapter 501: Thank you? Marry your sister to me
"Greetings, Your Highness." This was the second time that Lord Lu came to the Shen Mansion to investigate a case. He heard that Miss Shen murdered her sister and caused Concubine Shen to lose the baby in her belly. He couldn't believe it, so he put down the work in his hands and rushed over.
"Lord Lu, please don't be so polite. Business is more important." Prince Rui was not in the mood. All he could think about was what the doctor said. It was a pity that the child was a boy.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Lord Lu stood up, he began to ask Yao Qingnian about what happened.
"I was bored in the banquet hall, so I came out to go back to my own courtyard. When I was walking towards the bridge, I ran into Shen Youran. She suddenly got confused and asked me to kneel down and kowtow to her. I didn't want to pay attention to her and told her to get out of the way, but she refused. I saw that she was pregnant and didn't want to argue with her, so I turned around and walked back. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I heard her yelling from behind, asking me not to hurt her. Then, she rolled down the stairs. You all saw what happened afterwards. This is what happened. I'm done."
"Miss Shen means that Concubine Shen fell on purpose and she wants to put the blame on you?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't touch her at all." Yao Qingnian said lightly.
"You are talking nonsense. Why would You Ran do this? That is her child. If he falls from such a high place, two lives could be lost at any time. How could she harm herself and her child's life just to put the blame on you?" King Rui retorted.
"You'll have to ask her herself."
"Lord Lu, I saw it with my own eyes. She was the only one on the bridge at that time. It was she who harmed Youran."
"The prince is here too, so why would I say you were the one who harmed him? Aren't you also a suspect?!" Yao Qingnian dragged him in as well. If they wanted to frame her, there was no way. No one could escape.
"They are my concubine and my child, why would I harm them?! It's you who has always hated You Ran, so you have the greatest motive for committing the crime!"
"Hehe, where's the evidence? You can't just say whatever you want, right? If I want to harm her, I wouldn't be stupid enough to do it in public and let you see it."
"Master Lu, listen to this. She just wants to harm Youran. She wants to do it in public so that she can clear herself of suspicion."
"Tsk tsk, His Royal Highness Prince Rui has a very rich imagination. I admire him."
Each side held their own opinion, and it was impossible to tell who was telling the truth. He wanted to hear what Shen Youran had to say, but she had just had a miscarriage and was recuperating, so it was not a good idea to disturb her at this moment. He could only go to the scene to check and take samples, then temporarily take Yao Qingnian to the Sky Prison and detain her, and wait until Shen Youran got better before opening the court to hear the case.
"Miss Shen, I'm sorry! Please come with us."
"Sister..." Shen Jinghong looked worried.
"It's okay. I'm just going with Lord Lu and will be back soon. No one dares to touch me until the matter is investigated. Go back to the Duke's Mansion to find someone to bring over to pack up the things and take away everything left by mother. Don't let them get anything for free." Yao Qingnian reminded: "Also, tell grandpa and the others not to worry. I will be fine."
"Sister, why do you want to go with him?! I want to go too. You go out to play without me. Humph! I'm angry." Shen Jinghong couldn't let anyone notice anything unusual now, so he had to continue to play dumb.
"I'm not going out to play. I'm going to take care of something. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
"Okay then, you'd better come back soon!" Shen Jinghong then stood aside obediently.
"Zi Yexiu, please arrange for someone to send my brother back to the Duke's Mansion." Yao Qingnian gave him a reassuring look.
"Yeah." Zi Ye Xiu responded.
Yao Qingnian gave Shan Wei a few more instructions: "Shan Wei, go..."
Then he followed Lord Lu and left. Prince Rui also left as he had something to do. He asked Shen Youran to stay in the Shen Mansion for two days and then come to pick her up when she was better to avoid the bumpy road.
"Father, how is my sister?" After everyone left, Shen Youran asked with concern. She couldn't wait to know what happened to Yao Qingnian.
"She is not your sister. You will no longer have such a vicious sister."
"Father, how can you say that? My sister is your biological daughter no matter what. If she did something wrong, just discipline her. I believe she will definitely change. I don't blame her for this. You can only blame me. She was the one who grew up in the Shen Mansion. I took her place. You...don't blame her."
"How can you be blamed for this? You were still in your cradle at that time, and I was the one who brought you back. Besides, she was a disaster to begin with, and her wild nature is hard to change. After she came back, nothing good happened in the mansion. I have already expelled her and Shen Jinghong from the family, and you will not have a sister like her in the future."
"What, father, my sister and the others were kicked out of the house by you? She is a weak girl, how can she survive after being kicked out?" Shen Youran was ecstatic. She didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. If she was kicked out, she would no longer be a lady of the Shen family. Let's see what she can compare with herself in the future. It would be easy to crush her to death.
"You are in this condition, yet you still care about her! Alas, this child is so pitiful, otherwise you would have given birth to Prince Rui's first child. However, it is well known that Princess Rui is infertile. You should take care of yourself, and there will be a chance in the future." Shen Wenting comforted.
"Yes, father, you are right. I understand." Shen Youran replied obediently: "How is my sister now?"
"She was taken away by the people from Jingzhao Prefecture. Youran, have a good rest. You don't have to worry about other things. I believe the prince will take care of it for you." Judging from the prince's appearance today, he still cares about Youran.
"Thank you, Father." Yao Qingnian was kicked out of the house and arrested. Haha, she wanted to get up and cheer.
After coming out of the Shen Mansion, Xuanfeng couldn't help but ask, "Master, the Madam was taken away just like that, aren't you worried that they will harm the Madam?"
"They don't dare." Lu Huaijin narrowed his eyes slightly, and then instructed Xuanfeng: "Prince Rui is a little free recently, you go and ask someone to find him something to do, and by the way, check this matter and Shen Youran's background."
After saying that, he prepared to take Shen Jinghong to the Duke's Mansion.
Shen Jinghong was not in a hurry to follow him, but asked, "Are you the leader of Ziye Pavilion?"
"Ah."
"Thank you for speaking up for my sister today. I will go to the Duke's Mansion by myself, so I won't bother you." Shen Jinghong said calmly, "Also, please stay away from my sister in the future. She is not on the same path as you, and I don't want her to be gossiped about because of you. To thank you for your help today, I can agree to one condition or you can give me money."
"Any conditions are acceptable?"
"As long as I can do it."
"Then marry your sister to me." Seeing Shen Jinghong protecting his sister, Lu Huaijin couldn't help but joked.
