Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 42 Being Taken Advantage of
Zhang Shunyuan slammed the table hard and shouted angrily, "I knew it, it was you! You vicious woman! How dare you kill my brother!"
Shen Muxue looked directly at Zhang Shunyuan and said sarcastically, "Humph, this is clearly his own fault. If he hadn't harbored ill will towards me, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Zhang Dewen abused his power to bully others and seize decent women. Have you ever counted how many innocent women he has killed? Just because they were born in humble circumstances and no one stood up for them, do they deserve this fate?"
Zhang Shunyuan's anger solidified on his face.
He knows his elder brother's character better than anyone else.
However, the brotherhood is deep, I...
"Fortunately, Zhang Dewen is dead. Otherwise, when the scandal is exposed, not only will he have to pay with his own life, but Minister Zhang will also be implicated for his poor parenting, and even your future may be ruined.
Come to think of it, you should thank me."
Shen Muxue's tone was light and provocative, making Zhang Shunyuan's original self-blame even more intense. "You! If he is wrong, the court will naturally punish him. It is not your turn to do it. And you should accept the punishment of the law!"
Shen Muxue leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and smiled mockingly, "Okay, then let me ask you, what is the crime of illegally trespassing on someone else's home? What is the crime of intending to humiliate the daughter of an important official? If she refuses, you intend to kill her to silence her. What kind of sin is that?"
Every word Shen Muxue said hit Zhang Shunyuan's heart like a heavy hammer, making his face even uglier.
"I accidentally killed someone in self-defense, so according to the law I am not guilty!"
The last sentence made Zhang Shunyuan collapse on the stool.
It turns out that the truth of the matter is actually like this.
Shen Muxue ignored him and stood up to leave. At this time, Zhang Shunyuan seemed to have thought of something and grabbed Shen Muxue.
He grabbed her throat and said viciously: "Even if you are innocent, you can't leave here alive today."
Shen Muxue's face flushed red, her eyes rolled back, but she still tried to remain calm and said with difficulty: "Zhang Shunyuan! You idiot, you've been used! Listen, what's going on outside!"
Zhang Shunyuan vaguely heard a noise, as if a group of women were approaching here.
"I do have a hand in your brother's affair, but it's been kept secret, unknown to anyone. Who deliberately revealed this to you, and for what purpose? You need to think carefully! If you stop now, there's still room for maneuver. If you let them in, you'll be convicted of attempted murder. Even if I escape today, you can't escape the guilt of attempted murder. Are you willing to be manipulated by others?"
Outside the tent.
Shen Leyao hurried over with a group of sisters. Seeing Xixiang, she nodded to her, "Xixiang! I finally found you. My sister should be in there, right?"
Xi Xiang immediately took a defensive stance and blocked the entrance to the tent: "But the young lady is resting, please don't disturb her."
Everyone was puzzled: "We have been looking for her for a long time, how can we be considered a bother?"
"Yes, we were all worried that she might fall into the ice hole."
"Little girl, why are you stopping us? Is your mistress doing something unspeakable in there?"
……
Shen Leyao pretended to be stern: "Xi Xiang, why don't you get out of the way!"
Xi Xiang fell to her knees with a thud: "Girls, there's a young man in the tent... and the lady asked me to guard the door and not let anyone in!"
"Oh, so you were having a secret date."
Everyone's curiosity was instantly ignited, and they pushed Xi Xiang to get in.
At this moment, the curtain was pulled open.
Shen Muxue appeared.
She was neatly dressed, her hair was neatly combed, and there was nothing out of the ordinary about her.
Everyone looked behind her through the gap. The tent was empty, not to mention the young master.
"I just sprained my ankle and took a short rest here. When did that become a secret meeting with a man?"
Shen Muxue frowned and went to question Xi Xiang.
Xi Xiang also felt something was wrong, as the man was clearly there just now.
"Just now, Master Zhang Shunyuan was clearly in there. Could it be that you were afraid of being discovered, so you deliberately let him leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Muxue raised his hand and slapped Xi Xiang hard.
Blood suddenly seeped from the corner of Xixiang's mouth. She fell to the ground and couldn't struggle anymore.
"Who is it! What benefit did I give you to allow you to ruin my reputation like this?"
Shen Muxue originally had a gentle and pure face, but now she was filled with coldness, as if she had become a different person.
"You said you were guarding outside, but now so many people are here, and it's fine if you didn't warn them, but you even put on such a show. Don't you think everyone else is stupid and can't see through your little tricks?"
These words seemed to be a rebuke to Xi Xiang, but in fact they were also a subtle criticism of everyone.
Who wants to admit that they are stupid?
So, these people said: "This maid's behavior is indeed strange."
"She was making those weird faces, kneeling and crying. It was all a complete act. I could tell she had something to hide."
"Yeah, I noticed that too..."
……
Shen Leyao's face turned pale.
She looked around. If Zhang Shunyuan had just left, she should be able to see him nearby.
However, there was no one in the pavilion and no one around.
Could it be that he had already left?
Zhang Dewen and Zhang Shunyuan had a deep brotherly relationship. They had been inseparable since childhood. Zhang Shunyuan regarded his brother as his life. After learning that there was a hidden reason behind Zhang Dewen's death,
He was furious, almost crazy.
If he saw Shen Muxue, how could he let her go so easily?
If he killed Shen Muxue, she would take the opportunity to get rid of this thorn in her side.
If he hadn't taken action, the truth behind Zhang Dewen's death would have come to light.
At that time, Shen Muxue could not escape suspicion and would be eliminated in the first round of the draft.
However, no matter how careful her plan was, she did not expect that Zhang Shunyuan was not present.
Just when she was about to end it, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the slight blush under Shen Muxue's neck.
Shen Muxue's collar was tied high, revealing only a trace of it.
Shen Leyao's eyes suddenly lit up!
Perhaps, Zhang Shunyuan did not leave and was hiding in this pavilion.
There were two couches in the pavilion, with thick quilts piled on top. Maybe he was hiding under those quilts.
Shen Leyao was secretly proud of herself, feeling that she had guessed right.
She straightened Xixiang in her arms and said, "Sister, Xixiang is young and naive, and can't keep secrets. Please don't blame her. If you are truly innocent, let us go and investigate, so as to prevent rumors from spreading and damaging your reputation."
"So you've bribed my personal maid." Shen Muxue stared at Shen Leyao and said with feigned grief, "Second sister, I've always felt I have a clear conscience towards you. Why do you keep humiliating me? Not only did you take away my fiancé, but you also ruined my reputation everywhere. Today, you publicly said that I had an affair with the young master of the Zhang family. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
He keeps talking so much and delaying, I guess there must be someone hiding inside!
Shen Leyao only wanted to catch the culprit in the act, and didn't care about pretending to be a sister with Shen Muxue. She snorted coldly: "Only after the investigation can we know whether you have been wronged."
After she finished speaking, she rushed into the pavilion.
