Chapter 342: Incident at the Banquet (7)
"Yao'er...don't do that!" Mrs. Tan rushed out instinctively, hugging her only daughter tightly, before she could recover from her shock.
Mrs. Tan stared at her beloved daughter who was crying so hard. She and her husband had placed high hopes on this daughter since she was a child. Yao'er had become the person they were most satisfied with. She was smart, bright, well-educated and well-mannered. Who in Zhuo City didn't praise her for raising a daughter well? She couldn't understand why Princess Zhuo would humiliate her to such an extent!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! You didn't even pretend to commit suicide. There are people all around here. If you really wanted to die, wouldn't you pierce your throat with a hairpin? You deliberately broke through the crowd and hit the pillar? Isn't it obvious that you are waiting for others to save you... Tsk! Hypocrisy!"
Everyone, "…………" This princess is indeed a sharp-eyed person, and the most important thing is that she is also keen on live commentary. I admire her! !
"Puff! Ha..." As soon as Cai Yun's laughter appeared, it was blocked by the two people beside her.
Mrs. Tan felt her daughter in her arms suddenly choke, and the humiliation became even stronger. A trace of anger and determination flashed in her eyes. She hugged her daughter and scolded coldly: "Princess Zhuo, you and the prince are so intolerant of our Tan family? For many years, everyone in the Tan Mansion has been loyally guarding Zhuo City for you. Even if they have no merits, they have worked hard. Is this the end in exchange for such humiliation? May I ask Princess Zhuo, is this your personal opinion, or the opinion of your Zhuo Mansion?"
Her words were serious. If she wasn't careful, the Zhuo Palace would be accused of embarrassing a meritorious official and being ungrateful. Madam Qin was a little worried that the princess would not be able to handle it due to her young age. However, she saw that Shen Yu's attitude was a little nonchalant, and she obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the matter...
Several merchant wives nearby who were worried about Shen Yu were so anxious that their mouths were filled with bubbles, but given their status, they really didn't dare to be the first to speak out.
Shen Yu, who was worried, looked at the woman who was protecting her daughter with admiration. It seemed that Mrs. Tan was at least qualified in being a mother. Her lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Oh? Mrs. Tan means that your Tan family will use all the merits of more than ten years to protect these two evil daughters? Is that right?"
"I... I am..." Mrs. Tan looked at her in horror, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Princess...I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding?"
"Yes, yes, Princess, how about we invite the prince over?"
Many women at the scene immediately spoke up to help plead for mercy. The princess' words were really too harsh. Wasn't it just that the girl had tried every means to marry into the palace but failed? She actually had to gamble with the family's honor? How could it be so!
Unfortunately, Shen Yu not only did not stop, but his eyes swept over everyone one by one with an even colder look, "So, you all agree with this? Is this the tradition of your Zhuo City? Anyone who has done a favor to Prince Zhuo's Mansion can obviously plant spies in Prince Zhuo's Mansion? Can obviously frame Prince Zhuo for raping his subjects? Can obviously murder Princess Zhuo? Can also openly kill the descendants of Prince Zhuo's bloodline... Is that right?"
Shen Yu stood up with Gu Yu's help, his eyes full of disdain, "So, it turns out that the families of the ministers... have been working hard for Prince Zhuo's Mansion over the years, but they are planning this? Huh?"
"Princess, calm down! We definitely don't think that way. Please investigate!"
Everyone knelt down instantly, sweat pouring down their backs, especially the ladies who had a good relationship with the Tan family in the past, who had already begun to regret their previous pleas.
Frame Prince Zhuo? Murder the princess? Kill the heirs? Oh my god, is the Tan family going to heaven? !
Although their families had some spies planted in Prince Zhuo's Mansion, they only did it to obtain first-hand information and definitely did not dare to have the same idea as the Tan family!
The ladies were filled with regret, thinking about how to withdraw their men without making any noise... They had underestimated the princess.
"Prince Zhuo has arrived..."
A loud voice came from outside the door, interrupting the stalemate in the garden.
Shen Yu's eyes did not move at all, still looking at Madam Tan coldly. All the ladies, maids and servants present did not dare to stand up when they saw this.
So, when Lu Yingxing arrived with a group of ministers, he saw that his wife and daughter were kneeling, and the only people standing in the field were Madam Tan and Princess Zhuo. Everything was really weird.
"Madam...what are you doing?"
Mr. Tan couldn't help but ask softly, but Mrs. Tan seemed to have finally found her backbone and suddenly screamed without thinking, "Master... please save us... The princess wants to kill Yao'er, wuwuwu."
"How dare you!" Another male voice sounded!
With a flash of a figure, a strange man appeared in front of Mrs. Tan in the blink of an eye and slapped her in the face with a loud slap.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you hit the wife of the Acting City Lord?" Lord Tan had no time to rush to the rescue. Seeing that the wife's face was swollen instantly, he became furious.
He didn't even look at Lu Yingxing, he turned around and attacked Shen Yu, "Princess Zhuo is so arrogant. Our Tan family has been loyal for generations, but we were humiliated like this on our first banquet. May I ask, princess? What kind of heinous crime did my wife and daughter commit that they were humiliated like this by the princess!"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that the women of the Tan family framed Prince Zhuo, murdered me, and killed the young master... or caught them in bed? Madam Tan also said that she wanted to use the merits of the entire Tan family over the years to exchange for the lives of these two daughters. I also want to ask Master Tan... do you want to exchange?"
The scene was silent, with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at the young woman in amazement. They had only one thought in their minds: Zhuocheng was about to change.
"How... how is this possible?" Lord Tan couldn't believe it. It wasn't that he looked down on his daughter. Even he didn't dare to say that he was sure that he could set up these killing traps in Prince Zhuo's mansion...
Before he expressed his opinion, the Tan family members who followed him were already getting anxious, "Master...don't be impulsive!"
Tan Fuyao was indeed an excellent chess piece that the Tan family had cultivated for a long time. It was a pity to destroy her like this, but to exchange her for the credit of the entire family? She was not qualified.
At this moment, Lord Tan Chengli finally looked straight at Shen Yu, with undisguised inquiry in his eyes, and even a bit of admiration. This was an open conspiracy... She obviously wanted to divide the Tan family, but unfortunately he had no choice but to accept it.
Shen Yu did not dodge or evade, and looked directly into his sharp eyes.
But before she could say anything, Qingli took action this time. He stepped forward and kicked him on the acupoint on the leg. Lord Tan suddenly felt numbness in his lower body and fell to the ground.
Qing Li looked down at the people on the ground and said calmly, "He's just a dead man with no distinction between high and low. We'll just beat him up..."
This sentence seemed to be an answer to his previous question, but also seemed to be directed to him personally.
