"I don't want your lives. Answer the questions honestly and I'll keep you alive."

Several big men looked at Su Jinhua in front of them with horror. They saw that she was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes. Even though her clothes were very plain, they could not hide the noble aura she exuded.

It was obvious that he was no ordinary person. If they had known this, they would not have accepted the business.

"What are you daydreaming about! The Crown Princess is asking you questions!" Banxia shouted.

Zhuying even picked up a piece of wood and pressed it against one of the men's throat.

Although it was just a piece of wood, the man felt like a sharp knife against his throat.

The big man was trembling all over. If it weren't for his dignity, he would probably lose control of his bladder in the next second.

"We were instructed by a man to stop a carriage at that time."

"Why stop the carriage?"

Several big men hesitated, as if they were considering whether they could save their lives after saying this.

"Speak! You dare to do it but not to say it?" Banxia continued to question harshly.

Trembling, they confessed everything.

The man told them to stop the carriage, saying that the lady inside was looking for them for pleasure all day long.

Every time they came back from the search, they just left. To put it bluntly, they were slandering Su Jinhua for being fickle and unfaithful to her husband, regardless of whether it was true or not.

The impact of this news on Su Jinhua was huge.

"Bah, what a filthy thing, to resort to such despicable means!"

Although it is a despicable method, it is the dirtiest and the most widely spread.

The one who wants to make her infamous the most is no one else except Su Ziyu.

"We, we were also instructed by others and took money to do the work."

Su Jinhua curled her lips and sneered, her red lips raised, and her cold face became a little charming.

"How much did he give you?"

"Five, five taels of silver per person."

There were six of them in total, and that was thirty taels of silver. The reputation of the Crown Prince's Consort was only worth thirty taels.

Banxia and Zhuying’s eyes almost stared a hole through them.

"I'll give you ten taels, how about you do something for me?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

……

"Brother, this trip was worth it. Not only did I not lose my life, but I also made a net profit of fifteen taels!"

"Take the money and do good things. Don't say anything else, understand! If anyone says anything, I can't protect you!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Several people left the mansion through the back door while muttering.

……

"Brother Shen, you really didn't lie to me?! Is your wife the Crown Prince's Consort of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion?!"

When Fang Ru heard Shen Rujun's answer, she was so scared that she almost jumped three feet high.

They just looked directly at the Crown Prince's wife's true face! And they looked at her for so long. What an offense! How disrespectful!

Fang Ru touched his head and found that it was stronger than he had imagined.

It's incredible that I can still stand here alive.

Shen Rujun just drank tea and didn't respond to Fang Ru's words, but he seemed calm and composed.

"Brother Shen, you are a student of the Marquis' Mansion? Otherwise, how could you be so bold as to look directly at the Crown Prince's Consort?!"

Apart from this, Fang Ru really couldn't think of any other reason. After all, he couldn't hear the conversation clearly.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Fang Ru lowered his voice. He dared not publicize such things loudly, as it would be extremely disrespectful.

Shen Rujun rubbed the teacup beside him and sighed softly: "Brother Fang, to be honest with you, the Crown Prince's Consort is actually my wife's biological sister."

"what?!"

Fang Rushi was really shocked! He never thought that the Crown Prince's Consort would have such a relationship with Brother Shen!

Coming back to his senses, Fang Ru immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Shen, why have you never said anything?"

Shen Rujun pursed her lips and said, "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid someone would spread rumors. I told you because I trust Brother Fang."

Fang Ru scratched his head, puffed out his chest and said seriously: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Shen Rujun bowed and nodded, saying, "Thank you very much. I naturally trust Brother Fang."

The two men exchanged greetings for a while, then walked out of the temple and headed towards the academy.

On the way back, Fang Ru looked at Shen Rujun from time to time, as if observing his expression.

He didn't speak as casually and directly as he did just now, but was rather cautious.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Rujun's background is indeed not simple. His father-in-law works in the Ministry of Rites. Although he is a sixth-rank official, it is also an official position.

I heard that the Ministry of Rites has always been treated very well in the court and has many connections. If Shen Rujun passes the exam in the future, he will have a bright future with his father-in-law paving the way for him.

And the Crown Prince’s Consort from the Marquis’s Mansion is his wife’s elder sister, which makes her background even more powerful.

Fang Ru muttered to herself, it seems that she has to be very careful with her words and actions when interacting with Shen Rujun from now on, and she has to consider every word she says.

Shen Rujun was going to find the teacher, so Fang Ru said goodbye to him, and waved goodbye with her waist slightly bent, which was a somewhat respectful gesture.

"Brother Fang!"

Fang Ru shivered violently when someone tapped her shoulder. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was a familiar classmate.

"Scared me."

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so alert?"

Fang wiped the sweat off his forehead like a puppet, waved his hands and said, "Nothing, nothing."

Seeing his classmate's suspicious face, Fang Ru walked back, and the man followed him, jogging behind him.

"Brother Fang, you don't look like you're okay."

"What's going on? Tell me. I just saw you being so respectful to Shen Rujun."

Shen Rujun came from a poor family. I heard that he married the second daughter of the Su family. I thought he would live in the Su family, but this also meant that Shen Rujun was marrying into the family.

Unexpectedly, Shen Rujun did not move to the Su Mansion, but still lived in the dilapidated Shen Mansion.

Every day he wore either the school uniform or a rough coat, and his wife's family didn't seem to take much care of him, so the people in the academy still treated Shen Rujun as an ordinary person."

Fang Ru looked around and sighed, "Since we are familiar with each other, it doesn't hurt to remind you a little."

"Brother Fang, please speak up. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this."

"Brother Shen has an extremely strong background." After saying that, he raised a finger and pointed to the sky.

The man's expression changed, he guessed something, and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Fang, this is not a joke, don't talk nonsense."

Fang Ru leaned back and said quickly: "How could I say such nonsense! I saw it with my own eyes..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he hurriedly stopped the car and said, "Anyway, it's always right to be respectful when you meet Shen Rujun in the future. Besides, Shen Rujun's talent is recognized by the teachers in the academy."

"It's only a matter of time before he's on the list. It wouldn't be a bad thing if we could get closer to him."

The man's eyes lit up, and after patting Fang Ru on the shoulder, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Fang!"

The two people walked away together, but they didn't know that behind the tree behind them, Shen Rujun slowly walked out.
