Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 335

Princess Pingkang was both flustered and angry to see everyone looking at her with such incredulous eyes.

At this point, she was no longer able to calmly think of a strategy. She was already filled with jealousy and hatred towards Shen Lingjun, and now, being questioned like this by Shen Lingjun in front of so many people, panic and anger completely clouded her mind.

In a fit of rage, Princess Pingkang revealed her true colors and roared back at Shen Lingjun with fierce momentum.

"She's been flirting with the prince consort, what else could it be but seduction! How dare she even look at my man! I just can't stand this shameless woman, I just think she deserves to die, so what!"

Princess Pingkang was fearless and had nothing to fear.

She was the emperor's own aunt, while Shen Lingjun was just a marquis's wife, whose status was far lower than hers. What could she do to her?

Anyway, no one actually died this time!

But at that moment, a lady standing nearby heard this and suddenly turned pale.

This is the wife of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Princess Pingkang's words reminded her of something from the past.

Three years ago, her unmarried eldest daughter was bitten to death by a poisonous spider while on a spring outing in the countryside. Before that, there were some rumors that her daughter and the prince consort Song Yong had some kind of affair.

At the time, everyone thought that her daughter's death was just an accident.

Just now, the Grand Princess Pingkang said that she would kill any vixen like her on sight.

The wife of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice remembered it clearly: on that day, many dignitaries came to enjoy the spring scenery by the Mingjiang River in the suburbs, and Princess Pingkang was among them.

The situation is very similar to today's.

Could it be that her daughter was also killed by Princess Pingkang out of jealousy simply because she had contact with Song Yong?

The more the wife of the Vice Minister of Justice thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

Her gaze fell on the others, and she was shocked to find that two other ladies also showed similar expressions of shock, staring at Princess Pingkang with suspicious eyes.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their suspicious looks conveying the same message:

They have similar situations!

However, they only had suspicions and guesses; in front of Princess Pingkang, no one dared to say anything rashly.

Over here, Shen Lingjun, filled with righteous indignation, had already retorted sharply to the Grand Princess Pingkang:

"So what? I know the Grand Princess is of noble birth, and I can't do anything to you, but I'm determined to get justice! I refuse to believe that Bei Yi is a place where lawlessness is allowed! I'm going to the palace to find the Emperor and let him judge this matter!"

Princess Pingkang was furious that Shen Lingjun was so stubborn as to take the matter to the emperor.

"How dare you! ...Who do you think you are? The Emperor is busy with countless affairs of state; he has no time to concern himself with your petty matters!"

Shen Lingjun ignored her completely and turned to walk outside.

"Sister Yun, Red Dragonfly, Wang Jin, come with me to the palace to see the Emperor!"

Then he glanced at Princess Pingkang again.
