Shen Chengying was in a state of confusion, staring at the water in a daze. Suddenly, his eyes flickered and he saw two palace maids in blue standing in front of him.
He stood up and said politely, "What can I do for you two?"
The eunuch smiled and said, "Please move aside, Master Shen. Your mother is waiting for you."
Somehow, at this moment, Shen Chengying felt a sense of relief that "the dust has settled", as if all his previous restlessness was the result of anxiously waiting for the outcome.
And now, the ending is finally coming.
He didn't ask a single question, but nodded silently: "I'll go and say goodbye to my master and then I'll go with you two."
But when he looked up, Shen Chengying found that Lou Xiaochuyue and others were looking at him with an indescribable complex look. They said nothing, but it seemed that they had said everything.
A moment ago, the intimacy of the nobles as they drank, laughed, and played games for fun disappeared like the morning dew on the leaves and the clouds in the sky.
Looking at Qingyi's back, Shen Chengying suddenly had a premonition that he and they might no longer be from the same world from now on.
"Brother Yue," Lou Xiao's tone was a little depressed, "What do you think will happen to him?"
Chu Yue was silent for a moment and patted Lou Xiao's arm. As the eldest princess's beloved son and the young master of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, he was destined to have everything. Even now, he still has the innocent heart of a teenager.
Who can tell how to deal with such an unprecedented event? But one thing is clear: no matter what, this pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who have been pampered since birth, are destined to fall from the clouds into the abyss.
He whispered, "If Lord Shen is soft-hearted and spares his life and sends someone to escort him far away from the capital, maybe he will still be able to survive."
----
Meanwhile, in the main pavilion, Luo Miaoyun, who had been abandoned by her mother herself, was completely defeated. She raised her head and laughed, "Haha, haha! What do you mean by the pampered daughter of a wealthy family, what do you mean by the respectable and honorable eldest aunt? It turns out they are all fake!"
"When you were in glory, you wanted to praise you to the sky, saying that only a mother loves her daughter the most. Now that you see that I am in poverty, you turn your back on me, thinking that I have brought shame to the Luo family, and you wish I would die quietly in the Shen family!"
Luo Miaoyun looked at Old Madam Luo fiercely with tears in her eyes, "Yes! I'm sorry to the Shen family, I'm sorry to the Marquis, but I've never been sorry to you! How much gold, silver, silk, and satin did you send to your mansion without asking for money? I took care of my brothers and sisters' marriages and promotions. Whenever there was any trouble between you and dad, I would leave the Marquis' mansion and run back to take care of everything."
"And these girls," she pointed her slender fingers at each of the Luo family's girls, "count the dressing tables and wardrobes. How many good things have I given them?"
"At this point, the Shen family hasn't killed me yet, but my own mother is pointing at my nose and asking me to die!"
Mrs. Luo's face was already covered with tears. She held on and said, "Yun'er, mother loves you and cares for you, but mother has never taught you to do these things!"
She originally thought that no matter how bold her daughter was, she would only resort to some trickery to harm the illegitimate son and punish a few maids. Although this would damage one's virtue, it was not uncommon in wealthy families.
But in the eyes of a woman who has always regarded her husband as her God, betraying her husband and giving birth to a bastard would be a truly earth-shattering event.
She cried so hard that she couldn't speak: "Mom still has to consider your brother, your sisters, and the next generation of girls and boys in the Luo family!"
Luo Miaoyun suddenly stopped laughing. She looked subtly at Mrs. Luo Chen, who was holding her daughter with a nervous look on her face. Malice grew like vines, drowning her reason.
She whispered, "Mom, you are so naive. Do you think my brother can escape? Do you think my brother is innocent? Who do you think is behind all the things I did? Do you think my brother really knows nothing?"
Seeing Chen and her mother with increasingly terrified expressions, Luo Miaoyun felt a twisted sense of pleasure. She said cheerfully, "He was the one who found the doctor back then, and it was my brother who dealt with the aftermath. It was also my brother who sent the poisoned medicine in. Otherwise, how could a weak woman like me hide this from the Marquis without anyone noticing?"
She looked at Chen with contempt: "I just hid it from an ignorant woman like you."
Mrs. Chen felt cold all over: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Is she crazy? Her husband is her own brother. What good would it do her to drag Luo Jurui into this?
Luo Miaoyun sneered: "Nonsense? Just ask this Lord Luo and you will know if I am talking nonsense."
She looked at Luo Peng with a sneer: "I don't know how you managed to deceive the world and become a servant in front of the emperor. But over the years, you have done so much for your brother. Do you think you can get away with it?"
Luo Peng said nothing, but walked forward and shook his head very slowly: "Luo Miaoyun, why are you like this now?"
After saying this, he lifted up his robe, knelt down in front of the throne, and said sincerely: "Luo Peng's crime is really difficult to redeem. It all depends on your majesty's holy judgment. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."
Ning'er became nervous when she heard this. When she was about to speak, she suddenly felt someone gently pulling her sleeve.
Ning'er turned her head and saw Chu Huan smiling at her and mouthing, "Don't worry."
Somehow, her heart suddenly felt at peace.
Emperor Zhaoyuan ignored Luo Miaoyun and Luo Peng. Instead, he called out Old Madam Zhu's name and asked a question that everyone was avoiding intentionally or unintentionally:
"Madam, how does the Marquisate plan to deal with Shen Chengying and Shen Ruyao?"
The air became quiet in an instant.
Lou Qi, who was watching the show on the side, almost knelt down to the emperor. He wanted to pull his son over and tell him to take a good look at what the emperor's mind and thundering methods were.
Only at this moment did he understand why the emperor summoned these three families at the same time.
In just a few words, the Shen family was forced to beg for mercy from God, the Luo mother and daughter turned against each other, Luo Miaoyun sold out her elder brother with her own hands, and without making a sound, she grasped the lifelines of both the Shen and Luo families and completely pulled her beloved Miss Ning out of this muddy water.
However, he stroked his beard and thought that if it weren't for Miss Ning, the emperor probably wouldn't even pay any attention to these trivial matters.
Zhu Jinyuan was torn between her conscience and her desires. She hated Luo Miaoyun to the core and wanted to kill her immediately, but she couldn't bear to see the two children who had brought such shame to the Marquis's mansion...
That was the child she had kept in her heart, the one she had been looking forward to since her mother's womb, and the one she had cherished like a treasure for thirteen years.
Her heart was in a mess and she raised her eyes randomly, only to meet the cold gaze staring at her.
That's your majesty!
Old Madam Zhu's mind suddenly came to clarity, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back. Her mind was full of Ying'er and Yao'er, but she forgot... there was also Ning'er in front of her.
