After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Nan Yuan clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she was completely unaware.

"Yes, they are all in the cabinet in the bedroom. I have never touched them."

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture winked at the legal advisor beside him, who nodded and took note.

"Also, you said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used a love poison to deceive your feelings. Where is the love poison? He deceived your feelings and had sex with you. Was it your own will?"

Nan Yuan opened her mouth, her breathing was a little rapid, but she had to admit: "I didn't find the love Gu, but he did admit it himself."

"Did you do this voluntarily?"

Volunteer?

Nan Yuan thought about the scene at that time and thought, that should be it.

She gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Boom-"

The governor of Shuntian prefecture banged the gavel loudly.

He breathed a sigh of relief, asked the master to fetch the document, and said, "Now, the truth has been revealed."

"Xie Nan behaved improperly before marriage and became entangled with the prince, causing misunderstandings. After marriage, she even accepted gifts and gave them away privately, causing His Royal Highness the Prince to go astray."

"Do you have anything to refute about this?"

The governor of Shuntian looked at Nan Yuan.

Hearing this, Nan Yuan smiled bitterly but said nothing.

Is this really the case in the eyes of everyone?

She did those things out of necessity, but in the eyes of others it was deliberate seduction.

This is actually the case.

Could it be that she is really the slut that Gu Jingheng described, a fickle woman who is unfaithful to her husband? !

Shuntian Prefecture Governor waited a long time for Nan Yuan's reply but could not get a reply. Fearing that something unexpected might happen again, he quickly decided the case and said, "Nan Yuan married into the Xie family but was not a good wife. She cheated on her husband and tried to frame the crown prince. Her crime is even more serious. If such a vicious woman is not dealt with, I'm afraid the morale of the world will be unstable and the law will be difficult to uphold."

"Come here, parade him through the streets and put him in a pig cage!"

Hearing this, Princess Xie collapsed to the ground.

She didn't think like this. She didn't want to take Nan Yuan's life. She just wanted Nan Yuan to admit her mistake, cut off contact with that person, and live a good life with Luo Chen in the future.

At this time, Nan Yuan just sat on the ground in a daze, without any emotional fluctuations.

“Speak up!” Princess Xie grabbed Nan Yuan’s arm and shook it vigorously: “Speak up! Tell the adults that you are wrong and that you should change. Speak up!”

But Nan Yuan still had no reaction, as if she accepted the judgment.

Princess Xie could only turn around and look at the Shuntian prefect and said, "I won't sue anymore, I won't sue anymore, this is my family affair."

"You can't just come and go as you please in the court. Do you think this court is your home?" Shuntian Prefecture Yin just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, get rid of the prince, and end the case. He looked at Princess Xie and said, "I have declared you the winner, and she should be punished accordingly. From now on, your weddings and funerals have nothing to do with each other!"

"Come here, take her away, parade her through the streets, and put her in a pig cage!"

Gu Jingheng looked down at Nan Yuan and saw that her face was calm, like a lifeless porcelain doll, and he became even angrier.

When the officer's hand was about to touch her, Gu Jingheng suddenly reached out and lifted Nan Yuan onto his shoulder by the waist.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness woke Nan Yuan up suddenly.

She slapped Gu Jingheng's back hard and shouted angrily, "Let me go!"

Gu Jingheng seemed not to hear anything and continued to walk forward with firm steps without any retreat.

Nan Yuan's struggle did not hurt him, but the more Nan Yuan struggled, the stiffer his body became, and the heavier his steps became.

The people in the court saw this scene and no one dared to stop him. They let Gu Jingheng carry her to the resting house behind the court.

"Boom-"

Gu Jingheng swept the tea set on the table to the ground, and it shattered into pieces.

He pressed Nan Yuan on the table again, lowered his head and kissed her lips hard.

Nan Yuan was almost suffocated by Gu Jingheng's kiss, and she kept kicking him with her legs.

Gu Jingheng pressed Nan Yuan against the cold table and tore off her clothes roughly with his big hands with great force.

"You bastard!"

Nan Yuan reached out to hit him, but he grabbed her wrist.

Gu Jingheng raised his head and stared at her coldly: "You still want to beat me? Do you think I will spoil you?"

"Sue the authorities? You've become very capable!"

"Look at yourself. What's the point of fighting to the death with a lonely fish? In the end, you will always be the one who suffers!"

Nan Yuan's face was full of humiliation. She clenched her teeth and was unable to speak.

There was silence for a moment.

Gu Jingheng pinched Nan Yuan's chin and asked her to look directly into his eyes: "Do you regret it?"

He reached out and gently brushed the scar on Nan Yuan's face. His heart softened and he asked gently, "Does it hurt?"

"You think that judge's judgment is unfair, right? How about I kill him to vent your anger?"

"If you apologize to me and beg me, I will..."

Nan Yuan sneered at Gu Jingheng and said, "Please? Disgusting!"

"I feel sick just by looking at you. Who do you think you are? My savior? Should I thank you?"

Nan Yuan had a severe headache, and her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. It seemed that only by speaking out could she feel less suffocated.

Hearing this, the gentleness on Gu Jingheng's face suddenly disappeared.

He knew Nan Yuan best. She was usually timid and afraid of death. But now she was not even afraid of death and just refused to beg him.

I really mean it. I really think he is disgusting.

"Okay, okay, okay, Nan Yuan, you are cruel."

"I'm telling you this just because I'm a jerk!"

"Just look at what will happen to you if I don't save you!"

Gu Jingheng let go of his hand and walked away.

In the court, the prefect of Shuntian was already frightened out of his wits.

What the prince said just now has been leaked. If the girl nods, he would probably have lost his head.

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Gu Jingheng coming out, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture knelt down immediately.

"Look at what I'm doing? Do you want me to teach you how to do it?"

After being scolded by the prince, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture bowed his head and nodded repeatedly.

He then asked his men to escort Nan Yuan out and parade her through the streets.

Nan Yuan was escorted out of the court step by step.

She had a head of black hair draped over her shoulders, and she was only wearing a middle-length shirt. She hadn't even had time to put on shoes, and her skinny figure looked particularly frail.

Gu Jingheng stood there with his hands behind his back, watching her walk further and further away.

Please ask him!

Would you rather die than beg him?

Seeing Nan Yuan was about to step out of the mansion, Gu Jingheng reached out to stop her.

There's no need to beg him, just say a word.

But no, Nan Yuan didn't even turn her head and followed the officers out of the government office.

Gu Jingheng raised his head slightly, looked towards the sky, closed his eyes, and exhaled.

Well, it's time to teach her a lesson, to let her know what will happen to her without his protection.

Gu Jingheng withdrew his gaze.

the other side.

Nan Yuan was escorted out and put into a prison van with a pig cage behind it.

The officer beside him announced the trial result loudly according to the procedure, and took Nan Yuan to the river while telling her the charges against her: having an affair, being fickle, being unfaithful to her husband, and being thrown into the pig cage.

The people around were filled with righteous indignation, and no one knew who started the process of throwing a rotten egg at Nan Yuan.

Suddenly, Nan Yuan's face and clothes were covered with dirt and egg crumbs, and she looked very embarrassed.

The emotions of the people around were instantly aroused. Rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and those who had nothing in their hands threw mud and stones directly at Nan Yuan.

"Smash her to death, smash this unfaithful slut to death!"

"She has no shame. She doesn't serve her parents-in-law after getting married. She shows up in public every day. Now it seems that she is flirting with men!"

"I heard that she had an affair with someone before getting married. Mr. Xie is really cuckolded!"

……

People around were talking, but Nan Yuan seemed not to hear anything and just sat there in the prison van motionlessly.

Her face was pale, her eyes were dead, and she seemed to have lost her vitality.

His clothes were dirty and covered with stolen goods, but Nan Yuan was unaware of it. He looked like a puppet that had lost its soul.

Her ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear what others were saying. She only knew that her head was aching and the blood in her body seemed to be boiling, rushing out uncontrollably, in waves after waves, with excruciating pain.

She banged her head hard, trying to drive all the annoying voices out of her brain.

Unfortunately, these voices seemed to be rooted in her brain and could not be driven away.

She felt like she was going crazy!

In the crowd, a woman wearing a white veil looked up at the government office. It was Chu Yunni.

She winked towards the darkness, and a black figure entered the government office.

In less than half an hour, the officers brought Nan Yuan to the river.

Several people hurriedly stuffed her into the pig cage.

The people around applauded and cheered. They didn't feel sorry for her at all. They just thought that immersing her in the pig cage was a very satisfying thing.

"It would be better to drown her, so as not to pollute our land!"

"Yup!"

"This kind of woman should be put into a pig cage and waste food while she's still alive!"

"It would be better to drown her!"

"Boom-"

Nan Yuan was thrown into a freezing cold lake. The water instantly submerged her. Her belly was filled with lake water, which made her stomach feel uncomfortable, and she choked on a lot of water.

She struggled to float to the surface, but found that her limbs were tied up with ropes and she couldn't move at all.

A large stone was tied to her body, weighing her down and sinking into the depths of the lake.

So cold, so cold...

Countless images flashed through Nan Yuan's mind, as if replaying her entire life.

Finally, Nan Yuan stopped struggling and completely lost consciousness, sinking to the bottom of the lake along with the pig cage...

"What time is it?"

Gu Jingheng woke up suddenly.

He didn't know how, but he fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I had no idea how much time had passed.

Ah Qi hurried forward and said, "Just an hour has passed."

An hour?

Gu Jingheng frowned and rushed out.

Lakeside.

The crowd of onlookers had already dispersed.

"Hurry up and fish it out!"

By the time Nan Jiamu got the news, it was already too late.

"Yuan'er, my Yuan'er." Nan's mother had fainted from crying several times. Nan's father, who was supporting her beside her, was also in tears.

Princess Xie did not dare to come and see. She stayed at home, stunned, like a frightened bird.

Several servants fished in the water but found nothing.

Nan Jiamu went into the water several times himself, but the lake was too deep and he almost lost his life.

Even though he was familiar with swimming, he could hardly swim out after going down. Nan Yuan had stones tied to her body and was not a good swimmer. So much time had passed, I was afraid...

"Step aside!"

Nan Jiamu, who was already exhausted, wanted to go into the water to salvage the items, but was knocked unconscious by his father and sent back.

For three consecutive days, nothing was salvaged.

Xie Luochen finally heard the news and rushed back. He went home and asked Princess Xie, but Princess Xie could not say anything. It was the maid beside her who told him the whole story.

"Mom, how could you do this?"

How could this matter end up in court? How could someone die?

"Have you forgotten who rescued you from the palace? Have you forgotten that she was caned and almost lost her life for you? Have you forgotten that it was only because she married into our family that our family's deficit was made up?" Xie Luochen said with great sorrow.

Princess Xie covered her face with her hands, her eyes full of despair. After a moment, her eyes became fierce again: "No! I am not wrong! She is the one who is not faithful to her husband, she is the one who is having an affair. If she was fine, why would I take her to see the official?"

It seemed that if she put all the blame on Nan Yuan, she would feel better.

When Xie Luochen heard this, he just thought it was ridiculous.

"Mom, you are wrong." Xie Luochen took a deep breath and told her everything: "Mom, my marriage with Nan Yuan is not what you think. It is just for profit. I married her for a huge fortune."

"Mom, I remember I haven't told you yet that I'm already a useless person. I don't have the blessing of having children in this life, and I can't have sex."

"She doesn't know about this, but I know about her relationship with the prince. I married her in the first place because I wanted to climb up the social ladder."

"Don't you think I've been promoted too quickly recently? Do you really think it's your son's own ability?"

Princess Xie was shocked when she heard this. She grabbed Xie Luochen's arm and asked in disbelief, "You...what did you say? What kind of useless person are you talking about? Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, and everything I said is true. This kind of thing can be discovered by a doctor's pulse check, so I won't lie." Xie Luochen sighed, shook his head, and walked outside.

He was apparently fine when he left, and Nan Yuan even tried to comfort him. How could a healthy and living person die just after being away for such a short period of time?

Nan Yuan died, and the Xie and Nan families completely turned against each other. Nan Jiamu exposed all of Xie Luochen's scandals. Princess Xie tried desperately to conceal it, but the news spread very quickly and could not be suppressed at all.

For a time, Prince Xie's Mansion became notorious and became the topic of conversation before and after meals.

After Xie Luochen came out of his house, he also went to the other side of the river. Nan Jiamu was still salvaging.

Seeing Xie Luochen coming, Nan Jiamu was furious and punched him: "Even if my sister has done something wrong, it is not your turn to bully her!"

"You guys killed my sister, don't expect to have an easy life in the future."

Xie Luochen was beaten and fell into the water. The water went into his throat and made him cough. He struggled to stand up and was punched again.

He knew it was his fault, so he didn't fight back and let Nan Jiamu beat him.

"Master, if you continue fighting like this, someone will die!" The servant tried to stop him, but it was no use.

"Master, I found it!"

Nan Jiamu turned his head and looked over.

The servants were seen carrying a corpse out of the lake. The corpse had been eaten beyond recognition by the fish at the bottom of the lake, but one could vaguely tell that it was a woman's.

There is a person in the pig cage with stones tied to her body, and she is a woman. Who else could it be but Nan Yuan?

The coroner came to perform an autopsy and confirmed that the time of death was about three days, which means that this was Nan Yuan.

Before they saw the body, they still had a glimmer of hope, but after seeing it, they were left with only despair.

“Yuan’er…” Xie Luochen wanted to go over and take a look, but was kicked to the ground by Nan Jiamu.

He took the body back, buried it, and laid it to rest.
