Reborn, after dressing up as a vicious female supporting character

At this time, Minister Zhuang and his wife were also brought up.

Upon hearing that her daughter was sentenced, Mrs. Zhuang fainted on the spot, and Lord Zhen quickly had her carried away.

No matter how much Minister Zhuang loves his daughter, he has to grit his teeth and bear it.

He came to Zhou Cangyun and Song Lianhe, bowed deeply and said, "I apologize to Your Highness and the Princess on behalf of my daughter. It was my poor teaching that led to today's disaster. I hope Your Highness and the Princess will forgive me."

Their family had offended Princess Qing. To put it in a big way, it was disrespectful. To put it in a small way, it was just the daughter bullying others by taking advantage of her power. The two were important, so Minister Zhuang naturally knew how to choose.

Rather than implicate his entire family, he had no choice but to sacrifice his daughter.

Everyone was waiting for Zhou Cangyan's reaction.

Zhou Cangyan raised his dark eyes and stared at him without blinking.

Suddenly, he said, "Princess, the Dali Temple has a beautiful view. Why don't you go out for a walk?"

Lord Zhen and other Dali Temple officials were all stunned.

Dali Temple... beautiful scenery?

Your Highness, King Qing, what do you mean?

Is it the Judgment Hall? Or the Council Chamber? Or the Dali Prison? You can elaborate on it.

Song Lianhe looked at him. The fun wasn't over yet, so why should he let her leave?

But just as she was about to protest, she saw the man looking at her indifferently, with a cold look in his eyes, as if stained with bewitching starlight.

Alas, I’m not afraid of the villain being bad, I’m just afraid of the villain being handsome!

Song Lianhe stood up in a muffled voice.

"Jing Shaoqing..." Zhou Cangyan glanced at Jing Ye. The handsome young man was about to step forward, but he suddenly changed his mind and looked at the black-faced man on the other side. "Wu Sicheng, thank you for your help."

Wu Sicheng stepped forward and responded.

Song Lianhe looked at him and followed him out.

Seeing that "well-behaved" look in Zhou Junlin's eyes, he couldn't help but think of the time when he brought her back to Liguan Sect from the forest. She rode with him, and she was also so unwilling, yet well-behaved...

Seeing Zhou Cangyan send Song Lianhe away, Song Xilan suddenly felt much happier, and the smile on her lips became more charming.

As soon as Song Lianhe left, Zhou Cangyan looked at Zhuang Fangming sharply and said casually, "Minister Zhuang, whether your daughter bullies others or bullies men and women, it has nothing to do with me, but she insulted my princess, so I can't let it go like this."

Song Xilan was startled for a moment, and looked up at him. She didn't expect that he was going to defend Song Lianhe! Suddenly, jealousy was about to burst out from her chest!

"princess?"

The man beside her suddenly called her.

Song Xilan immediately came back to her senses and looked back tenderly: "Prince?"

Zhou Junlin raised the corners of his lips slightly, shifted his gaze away from her, and said softly: "The emperor's uncle really dotes on the princess. I am very pleased to be able to promote such a good relationship. Princess, what do you think?"

"Yes."

Song Xilan responded softly, obviously a little absent-minded.

Zhou Junlin looked at Zhuang Fangming again and said slowly, "Minister Zhuang should indeed give an explanation to King Qing. Otherwise, not to mention King Qing and the Queen, even I will not forgive them."

Lord Zhen also remained calm.

He only punished Zhuang Qiaoyue for the crime of detention, but did not mention her disrespect to Princess Qing, which was also to avoid the main issue. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was clearly Princess Qing's attempt to punish Zhuang Qiaoyue, and she was just looking for an excuse before the emperor issued an edict.

Zhuang Fangming lowered his head and sweated profusely.

"I apologize to the princess on behalf of my daughter..."

"That's what Minister Fang said himself."

Zhou Cangyan then said, "I remember that when the princess was in your house, your daughter wanted to capture her and punish her."

"Your Highness! This..."

"This prince is easy to talk to. If you take the blame for your daughter, the matter will be over."

Song Xilan looked up in surprise. Is he... standing up for Song Lianhe?

It was hard for her to imagine that, as paranoid and cold-blooded as he was, he had already treated Song Lianhe differently in just a few days? What kind of magic did Song Lianhe use? !

No, absolutely not!

She would never allow him to fall in love with someone else!

Zhuang Fangming raised his head in disbelief: "Your Highness... I am... I am an official appointed by the imperial court."

Zhou Cangyan sneered: "So you can disregard your superiors? Or does Minister Zhuang want me to ask His Majesty to make the decision?"

"..."

Zhou Junlin said calmly: "Uncle, this is a bit inappropriate."

Zhou Cangyan looked at him and snorted coldly: "It turns out that the person you are slandering is not your princess, you really have no pain in your waist when you are standing and talking."

Zhou Junlin narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Does the emperor's uncle want to seek justice for Princess Qing? Or is he taking advantage of the situation?"

Seeing that the two were getting more and more tense, Song Xilan said quickly, "Your Highness, just now His Royal Highness Prince Qing said that the scenery here is nice. Why don't you walk around with me?"

"...That's fine."

Zhou Junlin also knew that if the stalemate continued, no one would gain any advantage.

In the final analysis, it is a fact that Minister Zhuang jumped into a trap dug by others.

Minister Zhuang watched Zhou Junlin leave and he had an idea in his mind. It seemed that he had to make King Qing vent his grievances.

Song Lianhe was following Wu Sicheng to visit various torture instruments when they heard screams coming from the yard.

She was curious and ran to the yard.

Right in the center of the main courtyard of the Dali Temple, Minister Zhuang was pressed on a chair and beaten by Zhou Cangyan's men.

There were so many people watching, and in order to save face, he could still hold it in at first. But after being hit a few more times, he could no longer bear it and screamed in pain.

"This is……"

Song Lianhe saw Zhou Cangyan standing on the steps.

Zhou Cangyan lowered his eyes indifferently, as if such screams were the most beautiful music in the world. The corners of his lips rose unconsciously, and he really looked like a villain.

"Your Highness Prince Qing is venting his anger on the princess."

The one who spoke was Jing Ye.

He whispered, "Minister Zhuang is not stupid. He will never let himself be beaten in vain. If he returns with these injuries, he can silence the gossips. And His Royal Highness Prince Qing naturally knows this, so he beat him even harder."

Song Lianhe couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing this. It seemed that outsiders still didn't understand him well enough. It was true that he wanted to vent his anger, but it was unknown for whom.

On the opposite side, Zhou Junlin watched coldly.

Song Xilan seemed unable to bear such a horrible scene, and she weakly stroked her forehead. Zhou Junlin took her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

She forced a smile: "It's okay."

Minister Zhuang’s small body fainted after being hit more than a dozen times.

"All right."

Zhou Cangyan said lazily, "I took the blame for my daughter. Minister Zhuang is righteous. He ordered people to send him back to the mansion and take good care of him."

"Yes!"

The shadow guard hurriedly asked someone to send Zhuang Fangming and his wife back to the Shangshu Mansion.

"Now that the case is closed, let's go."

Zhou Junlin held Song Xilan's hand, and when he passed by Song Lianhe, he smiled with an ambiguous smile: "Princess Qing is so lucky."

Song Lianhe: "..."

Why does it feel like I'm scolding her?

But she was too lazy to say anything. When she saw Ajun coming out, she went to greet him, "Ajun, are you okay?"

Ajun shook his head, his eyes lit up whenever he saw her.

"What can happen to him?"

There was a laugh and a light mockery behind him.

Zhou Cangyan walked over slowly, and seeing that Song Lianhe was still concerned about Ajun, his voice became even colder.

"Go home."
