Chapter 39: Both the mother-in-law and the husband favor her
Chapter 39: Both the mother-in-law and the husband favor her
Lin Shuer's face turned even paler when she heard this, and she fell to the ground in bewilderment.
She moved so much that her neck touched the blade, leaving a shallow wound.
The bright red blood beads flowed out like a kite with a broken string.
Lin Shuer's eyes widened in horror and she screamed, "Ah! My neck is injured! Hurry up and ask a doctor to come and see me!"
Except for her, everyone in the room was calm and composed.
In comparison, she looked like a crazy concubine in the cold palace.
Xiang Huaiyue felt like she had just heard a huge joke and taunted him, "You still want me to hire a great doctor to treat you? Stop imagining things."
"By the way, this is the first time I've seen someone as stupid as you. If I were you, I could just send a servant to find out."
"Do you feel you have no reliable subordinates, so you do it yourself? Should I say you're stupid? Or that you're so harsh on your subordinates that you don't even have a single loyal one?"
After she finished speaking, the coldness in Xiang Huaiyue's eyes was revealed, and it was obvious that he had no interest in continuing to talk nonsense with her.
Lin Shu'er endured the pain and said, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. I am innocent. My heart is clear, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to it!"
"Even the sun and the moon are too lazy to judge you. After all, you are a filthy thing, despised by everyone!" Xiang Huaiyue glanced at her coldly, "Take her to the Ministry of Punishment and take good care of her."
"Yes, Your Highness." The guards picked up Lin Shuer like a chicken.
Lin Shu'er glared at him: "Xiang Huaiyue, how dare you bully me by relying on your status as a princess?"
"Do you think you can call me by my name?" Xiang Huaiyue said coldly, "Slap my face!"
Before Lin Shu'er could refute, she was slapped harshly in the face, and her face was slapped left and right.
The crisp and pleasant sound made Xiang Huaiyue feel much happier. He turned the teacup with his fingertips and even kept the rhythm.
He Chaoye's expression remained as indifferent as usual, and he did not say anything to stop it.
He felt that all this was Lin Shuer's own fault.
If he hadn't rescued Xiang Huaiyue in time, everyone in their family would have died!
How could my aunt raise such a heartless daughter?
He must report this matter to his mother and ask her to have less contact with his aunt's family in the future.
The guards are grown men who have practiced martial arts since childhood, so their strength is extraordinary than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, after more than a dozen slaps, Lin Shuer was beaten with bruises on her face, her head was buzzing, and she even had auditory hallucinations.
Suddenly, a woman came into the house, supporting the old lady.
The woman came in and ran to Lin Shuer's side, shaking and crying, "Shuer, how did you get hurt so badly? What did you do to deserve such cruel treatment from the princess?"
The old lady took in the situation in the house and looked troubled. "Yue'er, was it Shu'er who pushed you into the lake?"
"That's right." Xiang Huaiyue said, "I set up a dragnet and finally caught her."
The old lady shuddered, her sharp gaze fixed on Lin Shu'er, and she angrily asked, "Why did you do such a cruel thing? I've always treated you well, and yet you actually harmed my daughter-in-law?"
Lin Shu'er burst into tears, "Aunt, I'm innocent. I was just worried about the princess, so I came here to visit her. I never thought that the princess would arrest me. She also ordered people to cut my neck and slap me more than ten times. I'm in so much pain..."
The old lady's eyes changed slightly when she saw Lin Shuer's injuries.
Upon hearing this, Liu burst into tears and said sadly:
"Sister, you watched Shu'er grow up. You know her character. How could she push the princess into the lake?"
"Princess, you've gone too far by teaching Shu'er a lesson without knowing the truth. Look carefully at Shu'er's injuries. How badly have they been injured?"
"I don't know if this will cause her to have any health problems in the future. Besides, how will she ever get married after suffering such humiliation? Sister, you must seek justice for Shu'er!"
Seeing Liu crying and yelling, Xiang Huaiyue felt upset.
But she would not refute easily, she wanted to see what her mother had to say.
Her mother had gotten along very well with her before, and she wanted to see if her mother really cared about her.
After finishing his thought, Xiang Huaiyue glanced at He Chaoye again.
He sat there indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The old lady looked solemn and spoke in a steady tone, "Yue'er wouldn't wrongly accuse a good person for no reason. I trust her."
Liu's figure suddenly shook, her face was already pale, and she looked at the old lady in disbelief, "Sister, what did you say?"
Lin Shu'er thought that her backer had arrived, but after hearing what the old lady said, she felt like the sky had fallen.
How could this be?
Doesn't her aunt love her very much? Why wouldn't she help her?
Is she not as good as Xiang Huaiyue?
Lin Shu'er didn't dare to accept this result. Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks and she said in a hoarse voice:
"Aunt, three years ago, a terrible disease broke out in the capital, and many people were sick, including you and my mother."
"But I didn't go back to take care of my mother. Instead, I stayed in the General's Mansion to take care of you. Have you forgotten all this?"
"I've been with you for so many years, am I not as good as a mere princess?"
After saying this, Lin Shuer burst into tears and couldn't stop them.
She looked at the old lady with red eyes, looking very pitiful.
Liu seized the opportunity and hurried forward, saying, "Yes, sister, have you forgotten how good Shu'er has been to you? You shouldn't be so ungrateful!"
Xiang Huaiyue took all these words into his ears, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
These two mothers really know how to play the emotional card here.
But what they didn't know was that no matter what their mother said, she would not miss the opportunity to execute Lin Shuer!
Being merciful to your enemies means being cruel to yourself!
She is not the saintly saint in the storybooks, and she will not be a pushover!
At this moment, a hint of coldness flashed across He Chaoye's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Aunt and cousin really put on a good show. If I hadn't witnessed everything here just now, I would have been deceived by you."
The old lady's face was filled with surprise when she heard this. She asked, "What exactly happened before this? Please tell me in detail!"
She always felt that things were not that simple.
There must be something else!
Liu's eyes flashed with confusion, and she said hurriedly, "Sister, wasn't Shu'er's explanation clear enough? It was the princess who abused her without any reason!"
"You are my sister and Shu'er's aunt. How can you be so indecisive? Tell the princess to release Shu'er!"
"There are so many knives on Shu'er's neck. If you make a mistake, he will lose his head. Do you really want to watch Shu'er's head and body be torn apart?"
At the end of her speech, Liu's eyes were bloodshot and she almost shouted with all her might.
She looked at Xiang Huaiyue with resentment and anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to tear Xiang Huaiyue apart and eat him.
There was no trace of fear on Xiang Huaiyue's face, and he looked straight into Liu's eyes.
The old lady still maintained a trace of rationality in the panic and waved her hand, "Alright, stop yelling here. Neither you nor I can do anything about this!"
When Liu heard this, her eyes suddenly widened. "Sister, what do you mean? Do you really want to watch Shu'er being bullied?"
The old lady took a deep breath and said slowly, "If Shu'er really pushed the princess into the lake, he would have committed a serious crime. How can you and I do anything about it?"
Without even thinking, Liu retorted, "Shu'er wouldn't do such a cruel thing!"
He Chaoye curled his lips, "Aunt really believes in her daughter!"
When Lin Shuer met Liu's inquiring gaze, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back. She felt as if there was something stuck in her throat and her whole body went limp.
