Chapter 305: Bite back and throw dirty water on them
Shen Wenting wanted to continue to argue, but Zheng Cheng spoke first: "Minister Shen, you signed a contract and swore that you would never take a concubine in your life. How do you explain what happened today? Who is this woman in front of you, and why did she call you husband? Please give everyone present an explanation! Otherwise, I will definitely go to the emperor and seek justice for the Duke's Mansion!"
"Yes! Make it clear!"
"say clearly!"
Shen Wenting looked at Zheng Cheng angrily: "Zheng Cheng, what qualifications do you have to interfere in our family affairs!" Then he smiled with a sinister and smug smile: "Shuhua is my wife, and you are a stranger, what qualifications do you have to question me? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
Zheng Cheng directly protected Chen Shuhua and her daughter, standing in front of her without any fear: "Although Duke Chen has retired and is not involved in the affairs of the court, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and his contributions are known to the world. His only beloved daughter is being bullied, even ordinary people should stand up!
What's more, my parents died early, and it was the Duke who raised me. They are my adoptive parents, and I have to take care of them no matter what!
You broke your promise first, and had an affair with the woman in front of you. You are a shameless and weak person!"
At this moment, Yao Qingnian felt that Zheng Cheng was a real man, unlike Shen Wenting, the wimp who only relied on women and pushed everything onto women.
The girls around him all looked at Zheng Cheng with admiration. His image suddenly became tall and majestic. They were very excited. General Zheng Cheng said it very well! If you marry a man like this, you will definitely feel safe. It's a pity that he is a little older, otherwise the girls would be eager to get close to him!
Although Shen Wenting was angry, he backed off when he thought of himself as a weak scholar. If he faced Zheng Cheng, a warrior, head-on, he would definitely suffer. In front of so many people, he had to swallow his anger and said, "Madam, it's not what you think. I just came out to do something and happened to pass by here and met Runiang. We exchanged a few words.
You see, it's almost dark. She's a woman, I'm worried that she's in danger. If anything happens to her, how can I face my deceased friend? You went to Xiangguo Temple before, and I didn't have time to explain to you.
As for her calling "husband", you must have heard it wrong. How could she be calling me?
I just saw a man next to you, and I was in a hurry, so I said something a little harsh, don't take it to heart." Shen Wenting realized that the current situation was not favorable for him, so he humbly said: "Madam, it's not right to make a fuss in the street. Let's go, let's talk about it at home."
Chen Shuhua didn't want to stay on the street any longer. They didn't mind being embarrassed, but she still had her dignity. After calming down, she prepared to take Yao Qingnian back home. Yao Qingnian's goal was achieved. Although he didn't want to let the couple go, Zheng Cheng was still beside him, so he decided to let it go.
But Runiang didn't seem to want to miss such a good opportunity. She walked to Chen Shuhua's side, bowed, and said in a soft and shrill voice: "Madam Shen, Minister Shen was just kind-hearted and worried that I would be in danger, so he sent me back with good intentions. It's all my fault. I caused you to misunderstand. Please don't blame Minister Shen. Blame me if you want to blame someone!"
An auntie at the side couldn't help but say, "Don't think my words are harsh. Although your face looks safe, the way you dress can easily make people mistake you for a prostitute. If you meet a drunk on your way home, maybe... You know it's dangerous but you still dress like this. It's obvious that you want to seduce men!"
Runiang's face turned pale and she glared angrily at the aunt who was speaking.
"Why are you glaring at me! I'm so scared! Tell me, everyone, was I wrong? Also, who are you? Why are you butting into the affairs of the Shangshu couple? You even asked Madam Shen not to blame Shangshu Shen. You are so shameless." The aunt continued.
Yao Qingnian applauded the aunt in her heart. She was simply her mouthpiece and said everything she wanted to say.
"Where did you come from, you shrew? What does this have to do with you?" Runiang scolded.
"I am a shrew, but I am better than a bitch like you who is someone's mistress. Bah!" The aunt spat at Runiang. Passersby looked at Runiang with contempt, and some even threw vegetable leaves in their hands at her.
Runiang quickly hid behind the maid Chan'er. She was so furious that she was humiliated by these lowly people in the street. She wished she could kill them all.
But Shen Wenting on the side could only watch helplessly, angry but not able to say anything. With so many people around, if he ran over to protect them now, wouldn't it be tantamount to acknowledging the relationship between the two?
But as a grown man, he couldn't just stand by and watch his woman being indifferent, so he interrupted and tried to turn the blame to Chen Shuhua: "Madam, you'd better stop hanging out with other men, especially with Nianran. If everyone sees this, they will misunderstand, right? You and General Zheng Cheng were childhood sweethearts!" He gritted his teeth and emphasized the word "childhood sweethearts".
Chen Shuhua's face turned even uglier after hearing what he said, and she was about to lose her dignity. Shen Wenting, he was having an affair with another woman outside, and now he wanted to throw dirty water on her, what a good plan.
Zheng Cheng was also very angry at this time, and he clenched his fists even tighter. Shen Wenting, this weak and incompetent despicable villain, did not dare to target him and the people, but only dared to get angry at his wife and children. How could such a man be worthy of Shuhua!
He took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. He couldn't speak now. This person was just like that. The more he explained, the worse it would get. He couldn't add to the confusion.
Chen Shuhua was disheartened, as if her soul had been drained out. She moved with weak steps and got into the carriage with the help of Yao Qingnian. She ignored everyone and let the servant drive the carriage away.
Seeing Chen Shuhua like this, Yao Qingnian felt a little uncomfortable. She underestimated Shen Wenting's position in her mind. After being married for decades and sleeping in the same bed, it was not until today that she began to realize that there was such a hypocritical person around her. No one could accept it at once.
Sooner or later she has to face it, it's just a matter of time. She believes Chen Shuhua can get over it.
Shen Wenting hurriedly chased after her: "Madam, wait for me!"
Ru Niang cried out in a low voice in grievance: "Old... Minister Shen, what should I do?!"
