Chapter 343: Incident at the Banquet (8)
Tan Fuyao, who was kneeling on the ground, was already frightened silly. Her face was pale and her slender body was shaking.
She looked at her father in disbelief. Even her father, the acting city lord, came forward to no avail. An unprecedented panic spread, making her realize very clearly that no matter how noble the Tan family was in the past, it was nothing in front of the real master of Zhuo City.
The anger and jealousy in her heart grew infinitely. When Tan Fuyao raised her head, she met the cold disdain in Shen Yu's eyes, and the last mystery in her mind broke.
"Princess Zhuo, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand! Even if our family is unjustly killed here today, the rest of the Tan family will definitely go to Luocheng and file a complaint! I want to see if His Majesty the Emperor can allow you to treat our Tan family's heroes like this!!"
"Yao'er..." Lord Tan immediately stopped her, but since the words had been spoken, the result was already determined.
"Ah!"
Lu Yingxing glanced at the woman with a hideous and distorted face, quickly walked past everyone to Shen Yu's side, and held her in his arms with one hand, with an obvious intention of protecting her.
Shen Yu didn't even look at him, and spoke with a powerful bomb, "No need to be so troublesome, Lord Patrol Officer, it seems that I have to trouble you again."
Qing Li bowed and said, "Miss, you are too polite. It's my job!" As a tool for slapping people in the face, this is something he is very familiar with.
So, before everyone could recover from his respectful attitude towards Shen Yu, they saw him take out a jade token from his waist and hang it up, with the three words "Imperial Dragon Guard" clearly engraved on it.
Then, Shen Yu also took out the glittering gold medal from his arms and handed it to him again. Qing Li took it respectfully with both hands, turned around and shouted, "Kneel!"
Tan Daixue closed her eyes in despair. She didn't want to experience this kind of powerless crushing for the third time.
Qing Li didn't waste any words and directly said the words "As if I were here in person" to everyone, "This is Miss Tan, right? May I ask what you want to file? Your mother said that my young lady wants to kill you? Then I want to ask you, what did you do to make our county lord angry?"
"Your Highness! I'm going to, I'm going to, Lord Inspector, I'm going to ask the Princess... I'm going to ask the Princess to show some mercy!"
Lord Tan was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat. He kowtowed and said, "Princess, my daughter has been spoiled since she was young. I'm afraid she was bewitched by the servants this time, which caused the Zhuo Palace to suffer such an unprovoked disaster. If it is confirmed that it was my daughter who did it, our Tan family will never tolerate it!"
He was not stupid. This situation could not be resolved amicably. He could only try his best to recover the losses. He had clearly heard his brother talk about the protection of Shen Yu by the Dragon Guards before. How could he forget about this matter after seeing Shen Yu's easy-going appearance that day?
In fact, it wasn't just him. What happened at the post station that day had already spread everywhere. However, when Shen Yu first appeared in front of everyone that day, he looked too harmless, which led them to think that the rumors about the post station might be exaggerated.
Shen Yu's move today finally cleared her name in a shocking way, and made the people of Zhuo City remember her swift and decisive actions. In the following decades, a deep-rooted concept was ingrained in the circle of power and nobility: It is better to offend Prince Zhuo than the princess.
Seeing how cowardly they were, Shen Yu thought they would hold on to the end. It was really boring!
She turned her head and looked at Tan Daixue who was silent over there. How could she bear it even in this situation?
She waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Now that you are here, I want to see how you, Tan Fuyao, can turn the tide and redress your sister's injustice when it is clearly Tan Daixue who harmed her. How can you confuse right and wrong and file a complaint against the emperor?"
Tan Fuyao stared at the ground in a daze. She was silent for a long time, and finally kowtowed and said, "Please have mercy, Princess. I made a big mistake because I was too eager to protect my sister. Fuyao is willing to bear all the consequences. I only ask Princess to let everyone in the Tan family go!"
For a moment, everyone looked at the Tan family members strangely. They secretly glanced at the lying Tan Fuyao, and then at the kneeling Tan Daixue. As much as they despised the second young lady just now, they were now as afraid of the eldest young lady... Such a scheming person is really scary.
Thinking carefully about the timing and content of each of the eldest lady's speeches, it was indeed as the princess said. She was always trying to add insult to injury under the guise of helping. Even her pleas for mercy were so obvious. Who was she trying to fool?
Tan Daixue also looked disdainful. Compared to Shen Yu, this elder sister was indeed more annoying! Although her innocence was ruined, you, Tan Fuyao, can't step on me to clear your name. Since you want to pretend to be a sisterly love? Ha, then let's go to hell together!
She stared at Tan Fuyao, who was still trying to gain sympathy, with a strange smile on her face. Greed and madness flashed across her beautiful face, and her voice was full of malice and mockery. "Princess, I confess! This matter was indeed planned by my elder sister herself, and it was she who harmed me and ended up losing my virginity. I beg the inspector, the princess, and the prince to make the decision for me!"
"Xue'er! How can you say that?" Tan Fuyao's indignant voice was tinged with tears.
Tan Chengli was confused, "What do you mean by losing your virginity?" She looked at her two daughters and asked uncertainly, "Xue'er, can you explain it clearly?"
Madam Tan snorted and took the lead in answering in annoyance, "It was her own attempt to frame Prince Zhuo that failed, and ended up losing her virginity. It's not our Fuyao's fault."
Oh, finally the dog bites the dog, Shen Yu is satisfied, and it is worth it for her to accompany him in acting for so long! !
Upon hearing this, Tan Chengli was so angry that his face twisted. He pointed at his wife and was speechless for a long time. What a fool! If Xue'er is ruined, can Yao'er's reputation be good? If this matter gets out, the reputation of the unmarried daughters of the entire Tan family will probably be ruined!
Tan Daixue looked at her stepmother with cold eyes, "Madam Tan, how can I, an unmarried lady from a wealthy family, find such a ventriloquist? Have you ever thought about it? I don't have a big brother who is dedicated to me in everything!"
She scolded with disdain, turned around and said to Shen Yu, "Princess Zhuo, may I ask if you still remember Shen Yue?"
Shen Yu narrowed her eyes, "Remember, what does Miss Tan mean?" It has been a long time since she heard this name. Didn't she say that she was going to marry that cousin of mine?
Tan Daixue didn't keep the secret. She looked at her elder sister who was obviously trembling with her head down, and said with a provocative smile, "Princess, my good elder sister has put a lot of thought into marrying into the palace. Big brother helped her to ask someone to investigate all of the princess's past. When he learned that Shen Yue, who was at odds with you, married to Zhuocheng with her husband, big brother went to her house to look for her. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Shen Yue's husband was idle all day long and only knew all kinds of people. That ventriloquist... came to me in this way."
She said all this without feeling guilty, it was indeed the elder brothers and sisters who were fanning the flames behind the scenes. She joined in voluntarily and admitted that she was not as skilled as others, so in the same way, they had to admit that she tampered with a little bit of facts.
