Chapter 173 The Emperor's Order Cannot Be Disobeyed
Although Aunt Fang warmly invited Sheng Junwei to visit her home, Sheng Junwei had to decline the offer as she was busy dealing with the case concerning the Prajna Glass Lamp in the Ministry of Justice.
Aunt Fang didn't mind, she still smiled and said she would come again next time.
After returning to the Ministry of Justice, Sheng Junwei first marked the status of the Liulizhan case as "solved" and recorded the entire process of solving the case in detail.
After finishing the recording, she instructed her subordinates to make a copy of the case file and send it to the Dali Temple, and attached a list of the suspected unjust, false and wrong cases in Linzhang County.
This list is of great significance and will be the key to reopening those old cases.
If Sheng Junwei had not found the glass lamp that had been missing for more than 30 years, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple would probably have ignored the injustices she revealed.
But now, she has made such a major discovery as soon as she took office, and this glass lamp has an indissoluble bond with the Empress Dowager Anrong. Naturally, Sheng Junwei's status in the emperor's mind is incomparable.
Therefore, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not dare to be negligent and agreed to the request for retrial.
After selecting the case to be solved tomorrow, Sheng Junwei headed towards Sheng Qi Charity House.
The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, one case per day, this is her most basic requirement for herself.
Passing by the alley next to the charity hall, a carriage with familiar decorations came towards them. Sheng Junwei instinctively stepped aside to let the carriage pass first.
Unexpectedly, the carriage slowly stopped in front of her and the curtains trembled slightly, as if foreshadowing some unknown change was about to happen.
The car curtain was gently lifted, as if unveiling the prelude to an interweaving of old dreams and new realities, and a face came into view.
Zheng Yiyang was dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding the edge of the exquisite curtain with his hands, standing leisurely on the carriage, his eyes were sharp and with a hint of amusement, he looked down at Sheng Junwei from above, his voice was mixed with a little bit of subtle respect and provocation: "Doctor Sheng, I have heard of your medical skills and reputation for a long time, and after seeing you today, I find that you are indeed well-deserved."
Sheng Junwei has a pride that cannot be ignored in her elegance. Facing Zheng Yiyang's deliberate flattery, she just nodded slightly. Her tone was calm but revealed a sense of distance that was difficult to approach: "Mr. Zheng, you are too kind. I am just a common doctor. How can I compare to your fame?"
After she finished speaking, she did not pause for long. She tapped her toes lightly, as if she was eager to continue her journey. Her steps were light, as if she was avoiding all the troubles of the world.
Seeing this, Zheng Yiyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
In his romantic career, few people could be so calm in the face of his invitation, not to mention that the invitation came from a powerful nobleman like him.
Pei Yu's frequent challenges seemed to ignite the fighting spirit in his heart. He decided to give Pei Yu a taste of his own medicine and fight back in the most direct way.
Just as Sheng Junwei was about to walk around the carriage and leave, Zheng Yiyang slowly opened his lips, with a barely perceptible smile in his voice: "Doctor Sheng, since we are destined to meet here, how about I show my hospitality and treat you to a cup of tea?"
Sheng Junwei stopped and a hint of impatience and contempt flashed in her eyes, as if silently mocking the other party's frivolity.
She didn't say anything, just responded with a simple and clear look, that expression seemed to say: "Who do you think you are?"
Seeing that she was so unabashedly disdainful, Zheng Yiyang's eyes showed even more interest.
As a leader in the capital's romantic world, his pride would not allow him to show weakness in front of anyone, let alone a fake daughter of a disreputable reputation?
"Hey!"
He couldn't help but speak again, his voice mixed with a hint of surprise and unwillingness.
Such a rejection was an unprecedented humiliation for him.
The doubts in Zheng Yiyang's heart grew like weeds. He asked himself why, with his superior conditions, handsome appearance, and strong family background, he could not even be looked at by Sheng Junwei?
Is it that I am no longer attractive, or is there some secret hidden behind her coldness?
Thinking of this, Zheng Yiyang raised a playful smile. He decided to provoke the other party with words to see if he could stir up some waves: "Doctor Sheng, do you think that with the support of Pei Mansion and Xiang Mansion, you can be arrogant? Could it be that the mysterious woman who is said to have the ability to predict the future is so naive and ignorant?"
He deliberately lowered his voice, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, and began to reveal Pei Yu's secret.
"You know, Pei Yu has been out having fun these days, still in touch with his old lover. After work every day, he can't wait to meet her privately, and each time it takes several hours. This time is enough to do a lot of things, isn't it?"
Zheng Yiyang's words were as cold as a poisonous snake, trying to plant the seeds of doubt in Sheng Junwei's heart, but he never expected that the other party would show an extraordinary calmness and alienation.
A trace of impatience flashed across Sheng Junwei's face. She felt like she was surrounded by a group of annoying mosquitoes and it was difficult to get rid of them: "What is your purpose?"
Zheng Yiyang laughed a little wantonly, and the teasing in his words could no longer be concealed: "I just want to kindly remind you that Pei Yu is not as loyal as he appears. If you need revenge, I am happy to serve you. After all, this is a matter of reciprocity."
However, Sheng Junwei was not moved by his words. Her eyes flashed with a light that transcended worldly wisdom: "Confidence is good, but overconfidence becomes ignorance. I hope you can restrain yourself, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
Although her words were gentle, they contained a warning, and her eyes seemed to be able to see into the deepest secrets of the human heart.
She knew very well that some things would cause irreversible consequences if not stopped.
The moment she turned and left, Sheng Junwei lightly stroked her fingers, leaving an almost invisible golden talisman in the air, which silently merged into Zheng Yiyang's body.
This was her precaution against possible misfortune, a small protective barrier that would only be activated if he attempted to attack an innocent woman.
She did not want to interfere with fate, but she quietly lent a helping hand to those women who might suffer because of Zheng Yiyang.
After all, everyone needs to write their own destiny, but she is willing to be an invisible line of defense to block unnecessary suffering.
Just as Sheng Junwei was about to leave, a scream broke the silence of the alley: "What on earth are you doing!"
Sheng Ruijiao's eyes were filled with anger and fear. She almost staggered over and asked Sheng Junwei in a harsh voice, "How can you be so shameless! First you brought shame to our family, and now you want to seduce my husband?"
At that moment, Sheng Ruijiao's inner fear and anxiety reached its peak, as if Sheng Junwei's existence itself was a threat to her. It was an indescribable fear that came from a deep fear of the unknown and uncontrollable things.
