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

Chapter 672

However, now is not the time to investigate who instructed him. With so many people watching, Shen Lingjun still needs to consider her reputation as the Crown Princess.

If she lets this person slander her, her reputation will be ruined.

Shen Lingjun stared at the man and said coldly, "Anyone can say such things and throw mud at someone. If everything in the world is based on only one side of the story, there will be no right or wrong."

She spoke clearly and raised her voice: "You say I have an affair with you, what evidence do you have? Are there any witnesses? Are there any physical evidence? If there is no evidence, it is nothing but fabrication, an attempt to ruin my reputation!"

The man shouted, "Of course I have evidence! There's a blue birthmark in the center of your back, the size of a sparrow's egg, shaped like a plum blossom! If I hadn't actually had physical intimacy with you, how could I possibly know the characteristics of such a private part of your body!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

The person described the birthmark in the very center of his back, a place that is normally impossible to see. He spoke with such confidence, detailing even the color, size, and shape of the birthmark, proving it wasn't just a baseless claim but something factual!

All eyes turned to Shen Lingjun.

Could it be that the Crown Princess had an affair with this man before the marriage?

The man's eyes gleamed with smugness, as if he had already grasped Cheng Wu's weakness and was about to deliver a fatal blow.

Shen Lingjun just gave a cold laugh.

Cheng Wu was sent to the estate when she was six or seven years old. At that time, she was just a little girl. The people in the estate were not so particular. It was not strange if someone saw her back when she was taking a bath or changing clothes. Perhaps someone in the estate had seen her birthmark.

This man must have gotten this information about her from someone else.

If the person standing here were the real Cheng Wu, she would be unable to defend herself and would likely be manipulated. But unfortunately, she is not.

"Nonsense! I have no birthmark on my back!"

The man immediately shouted, "It's no use denying it. Do you dare to let someone examine you right here?"

Shen Lingjun didn't back down at all, and retorted sharply, "Of course!"

She immediately turned to the crowd, appearing completely calm and fearless.

"All men, please leave. All women may stay and see for yourselves. I have acted uprightly and honestly, with a clear conscience. There is nothing to hide. Even if I lose my composure in public today, I must prove my innocence!"

Seeing her so confident, the man's confidence waned, wondering what her plan was.

But in front of so many people, she couldn't possibly cover up the birthmark on her body, nor could she silence the gossip.

The guards led the man out, and all the men present also withdrew and closed the door behind them.

Only Shen Lingjun and a group of female guests remained in the room.

Shen Lingjun didn't hesitate. He turned his back to everyone, loosened his collar, and let his collar down to reveal his entire back.

Her back was completely white, her skin so smooth it seemed to defy frost and snow; there wasn't a single birthmark, not even a small freckle.

Cheng Wu has a birthmark, but she doesn't.

She knew about the birthmark on Cheng Wu's back, but since she was already the Crown Princess, no one dared to strip her clothes to verify her identity. So she usually only wore a mask and did not draw the birthmark on her body.

Everyone glanced at it and, seeing that there was indeed no birthmark, quickly lowered their heads to avoid looking any further and being disrespectful.

"Please straighten your clothes, Your Highness. We can all see clearly that there is indeed no birthmark!"

"That shameless scoundrel is indeed spouting nonsense, trying to tarnish the Crown Princess's reputation out of thin air!"
