Chapter 392 Evidence, a red mole on the chest?
"It's not that I don't dare, but what right do I have to test it? How will the girls in the capital and all the girls in the world live with themselves in the future if you do this? You are the one who wronged me, and it is you who should prove it. If you can't produce other evidence, even if today's incident becomes known to the world, I will make your Pei family pay a heavy price." Yao Qingnian was calm as usual. Everyone thought what she said made sense. Pei Zongzheng was not Miss Shen's man, so why should he test her just because he wanted to? If someone could say that their family was not innocent in the future and they could test her just because they wanted to, it would be a mess.
"Okay, even if we don't do a physical examination to prove your innocence, what about the red mole on your chest?! I can't wrongly accuse you!" Although Pei Zongzheng's consciousness was a little fuzzy on the boat that day, he remembered clearly that there was a faint red mole on the woman's chest. When these words came out, the whole audience was boiling again.
"Oh, it seems that this is true. The chest is such a private place. If there is nothing going on between the two of them, how could he know it?"
"No wonder he refused to agree to the physical examination, it turns out he was feeling guilty!"
All the people who were standing on Yao Qingnian's side just now stood on Pei Zongzheng's side at once.
Chen Shuhua's heart skipped a beat. There was no red mole on Nianran's chest, but... Youran did have a red mole on her chest. Could it be... She didn't dare to think further...
"Mr. Pei, you have put so much effort into this today. I wonder what your purpose is. If you really love me, how could you embarrass your beloved in public? Isn't this all too far-fetched?" Yao Qingnian snorted coldly.
"What purpose could I have? This is for the sake of our future. You'd better admit it quickly. Madam Shen and the eldest princess are here, so let's settle our matter." Pei Zongzheng continued to say shamelessly.
Yao Qingnian talked too much, and in his opinion, it was because he was guilty and impatient. It seemed that his goal was about to be achieved, and he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy in his heart.
"What will you do if I can prove my innocence?" She looked at him with sharp eyes.
"Leave it to you!" Pei Zongzheng said confidently without thinking.
"Okay! He just said that I have a red mole on my chest. Princess, please send someone to verify it! If not, please double the punishment for Pei Zongzheng according to the laws of this dynasty, and let the Pei Mansion deliver the silver to my mother today without a penny less. If it is one or two taels less, double it. How about doubling it for one more day?" She glanced at Pei Zongzheng with a sneer.
"Are you scaring me? What if there is?!" Pei Zongzheng looked at the woman's calm expression and began to waver. What if there is no such thing? No, what should he do? He saw it with his own eyes. She must be lying to him.
"To scare? If so, you don't have to pay back a penny of the money that the Pei Mansion owes. Besides, you have the final say on whether I am your concubine or your wife. I will do whatever you tell me to do, without hesitation!"
"Okay! Just do as you say, don't go back on your word." It seems that this woman is interested in me and even wants to be my legal wife. Humph! I will definitely torture her when the time comes.
Pei Zongzheng was a very confident person. He believed that what he believed was definitely true. He had no idea that the person on the boat that day was Shen Youran, not her.
"The Princess, Prince Jing, and everyone present are witnesses. No one can regret it!"
"In that case, Aunt Mei, take the person to the back hall for inspection." The eldest princess said to the nanny beside her.
"Wait, Princess, everyone knows that you are good friends with Madam Chen. To be fair, please randomly select a few ladies present as witnesses." Pei Zong was worried that the princess would be biased, so he made this suggestion.
His words made the eldest princess unhappy. As everyone knew, she had always been the most fair and no one dared to question her. But Pei Zongzheng's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to the eldest princess. However, he himself did not realize that it was wrong at all and still felt that his method was good and could not be faked.
The princess suppressed her anger and said, "As you wish."
The eldest princess had several prestigious ladies invited to the scene as witnesses. They followed Aunt Mei into the back hall, and everyone stretched their necks waiting for them to come out.
At this time, a man wearing a mask slowly walked over.
"Why is the Pavilion Master here today?"
"I heard that the princess got the Hell Orchid, so I came here specially to admire it. I wonder if I missed it?" A voice as cold as ice sounded.
"You didn't miss it. Please take a seat, Pavilion Master. I will let me finish the things at hand and then I will tell you in detail." The eldest princess asked the servants to bring him a stool.
"I don't know what it is, but how can I help you?" The masked man did not sit down immediately.
"It's just a small matter, why bother you, Pavilion Master?"
“The Zi Ye Pavilion may not be good at other things, but it is best at investigating cases and killing people.” The man’s murderous eyes shot directly at Pei Zong Zheng who was standing in the middle of the main hall.
This look made him shudder. He had heard that the Zi Ye Pavilion killed people without blinking an eye, and he didn't seem to have provoked him, so why did this man look as if he wanted to kill him? Pei Zongzheng fearfully distanced himself from the two of them.
"It's like this. Master Pei said that he and Miss Shen were in love with each other, and that they had already decided to get married. But Miss Shen said that this was not the case at all. The two started arguing about it. Master Pei said that Miss Shen had a red mole on her chest. People have already gone to the back hall to check it out, and I believe the truth will come out soon." The eldest princess told the story.
As soon as the princess finished speaking, the masked man's sword landed directly on Pei Zongzheng's neck: "Why do we need to go through so much trouble for such a small matter? With his appearance, not to mention the eldest lady of the Shen family, even the beggars outside the city would look down on him. Just feed him two truth serum pills, and I guarantee that he will tell everything clearly."
"You...what are you doing!" Pei Zongzheng was so frightened by the sword that suddenly stretched out to him that he was trembling with fear and dared not make a sound.
"It's just an investigation. What are you afraid of?" The eldest princess did not stop him. She thought that since he had just questioned her injustice, it was right for him to learn a lesson.
"Who's scared?" Pei Zongzheng swallowed.
At this time, Aunt Mei came out from the back hall. "Princess, I've checked it."
"What's the result?" asked the eldest princess, and everyone looked at Aunt Mei with anticipation.
"Miss Shen doesn't have any red mole or anything else on her chest." Aunt Mei replied.
Several other ladies also agreed and said that they indeed did not see anything. The facts have proved that Pei Zongzheng was lying.
"Impossible! I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake!" Pei Zongzheng looked incredulous, he remembered it clearly.
"You are still quibbling even now! If you don't confess the truth, your crime will be even more serious!" The eldest princess slammed the table in anger.
