Chapter 279 The farce ends, Zhu Zifeng is imprisoned
Chapter 279 The farce ends, Zhu Zifeng is imprisoned
The two were shocked, not knowing what they had said wrong.
They all remembered the date they had agreed on before, and this is it!
"In the spring of the 34th year of the Tianqi reign, in March, Chen Sanhei was arrested by the government for causing a fatality in a brawl. He was imprisoned for eight months. When he returned, it was already the beginning of winter."
"Excuse me, where did you go to meet Chen Sanhei?"
"In the prison?"
The story of Chen Sanhei being imprisoned is true, but the time was not March of the 34th year, but August of the 32nd year.
It was also because Mrs. Chen and her family were not in the western suburbs that year that Xiao Yier was able to survive the most vulnerable year while Shu He was desperately struggling to survive.
She had deliberately mixed up the dates in order to trick the two men. As expected, the two men were completely unaware of this and were already panicking.
Chen Lanhua and Qin Ma's expressions changed, and they stammered and couldn't finish their sentences.
Then, Chen Lanhua's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something. "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. It was Mrs. Chen who asked me to deliver the baby, not the men from the Chen family."
"Yes, yes, yes. I vaguely remember not seeing Master Chen at that time. Perhaps, perhaps he wasn't there. We remembered it wrong..."
Shu He's eyes, like sharp blades, scanned the two of them. "But, back then, Mrs. Chen was running around everywhere trying to save Chen Sanhei. She wasn't even in the western suburbs! She only came back at the end of the year!"
"Are you sure it was August when you went to deliver the baby?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lanhua shouted without hesitation, "That's what November and December look like. Maybe they went to pick up the baby in December when the osmanthus flowers bloomed for the second time!"
……
Almost everyone present heard the problem, only Chen Lanhua and Qin Ma were still confused and said they remembered it wrong, the time was not August, but December.
Shu He glanced at Princess Zhaoming, who had a gloomy face, and gave her a sarcastic sneer.
Then, she turned around, her tone full of sarcasm, "How dare you bring such an idiot to the prince and the general to embarrass yourself? Zhu Zifeng, are you really the daughter of Grand Tutor Zhu Heng?"
"How could such a smart and honest Grand Tutor Zhu Heng give birth to such a foolish daughter like you?"
"I think you should ask your mother for confirmation after returning to Beijing. Otherwise, living half your life and not even knowing who your biological father is, wouldn't that be too sad?"
This statement suggests that Zhu Heng was being cuckolded.
"Shu He, how dare you disrespect my father! My father is the Grand Master of the dynasty!!"
Except for Baili Qingren and a group of princes and princesses, almost everyone present was half shocked and half admired.
"This Doctor He is truly brave! He is so bold!"
"He is the powerful Grand Tutor of the dynasty! How dare she say that he was cuckolded and raising someone else's daughter!" This is too reckless!
"What's this? Didn't Zhu Zifeng also scheme against the prince? He even slandered the prince for being cuckolded! Compared to Miss Zhu, Doctor He is more restrained, right?"
"That seems to make some sense. After all, no matter how noble the Grand Tutor is, he's still no more noble than Prince Li! Doctor He is simply giving him a taste of his own medicine!"
"What a great tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! I have a feeling that Zhu Zifeng is most likely slandering Doctor He!"
"That's right! How could such a smart and courageous woman resort to such a dirty trick as 'impersonation'?"
"This Zhu Zifeng is absolutely despicable! She's actually the daughter of the Grand Tutor!"
Zhu Zifeng's body trembled as she listened to those unpleasant comments. The feeling of humiliation almost overwhelmed her!
This was the first time in her life that she had suffered such a setback!
It was also the first time she felt a sense of drowning, a feeling of despair that no matter how hard she struggled, she was powerless.
Baili Qingren was also very angry. He was fooled and mocked time and time again. He was really fed up with the feeling of being led by the nose!
"Come here, drag these two lawless, lying bastards out and beat them to death!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
When they heard the words "beaten to death with sticks", Chen Lanhua and Qin Ma immediately understood their current situation. In great fear, they subconsciously asked Zhu Zifeng for help.
"Miss Zhu! Miss Zhu, help me!"
"I didn't say anything wrong! I was just following your instructions. Why should I lose my life? That's not what you said yesterday!"
"Didn't you say I could get money as long as I gave evidence? I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Qin Ma was also thrown into disarray, dodging arrest everywhere, and at the same time shouting, "You can't arrest me, I'm just doing this for money, I don't know anything!"
There was an uproar in the place, and everyone was pointing at Zhu Zifeng and cursing him.
At this moment, Zhu Zifeng stared at the two men, wishing he could skin them alive!
"What are you talking about? When did I ever order you to do this?"
idiot!
idiot!
The two men's confession made Baili Rushu so angry that her eyes widened.
She pointed at Zhu Zifeng angrily and cursed, "Zhu Zifeng, all of this is really your conspiracy! You are such a black-hearted person!"
"How dare you use the royal heir to plot against me, committing such an unforgivable crime? This princess wants to see who can save you now!"
Baili Qingren also had a sullen expression on his face. "Come here, arrest Zhu Zifeng and throw him into prison. In three days, accompany me to the capital to receive the judgment of His Majesty!"
Zhu Zifeng's mind was shaken. She wanted to argue, but looking at Baili Qingren's expression, he didn't believe her at all...
Are you going to lose like this?
No, she still has a backup plan! She still has a chance to turn the tables!
The soldiers stepped forward and held Zhu Zifeng tightly, but she did not struggle at all.
She stared at Shu He with a strange smile in her eyes, "Do you think you won?"
Shu He frowned, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
Lu Qiao looked at this scene, her eyes filled with heartache, unwillingness, and more importantly, resentment.
She stared at Shu He with resentful eyes, as if she had an irreconcilable hatred with her.
At this time, Chen Lanhua and Qin Ma were also dragged out and beaten with a stick.
They had said their accusations against Zhu Zifeng in front of the entire army, so whether these two men were alive or dead had no bearing on Zhu Zifeng's conviction. Naturally, there was no need to keep them alive.
The screams coming from outside made people feel extremely happy.
"These sinister people deserve to be beaten to death!"
"You're right. To dare to plot against Prince Li and the royal heir is simply courting death!"
The discussions around her ears and the screams outside the hall made Chen Wangshi, who was rescued from the ground, unable to bear it anymore.
She climbed up and kowtowed, "My Lords, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to that woman and slandered the Third Young Lady!"
"Miss Third, please save me! Considering that our Chen family has guarded the farm for the Shu family for over a decade, please spare my life!"
Shu He looked at Chen Wang who was crying at his feet, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and he kicked her away.
"When you abused my daughter, did you ever think that you would end up like this?"
"When you called my daughter a 'bastard', did you ever think about the day you would end up like this?"
Shu He said this with a relieved smile on his face, "Today, I really have to thank Zhu Zifeng. If it weren't for her, I would have completely forgotten about you!"
Despair appeared on the old woman's wrinkled face. She knew she had no way out, and then she begged desperately.
"Miss San, why don't you just chop me with your sword? Give me a quick death!"
"I don't want to be tortured!"
"I don't want Sanhei and the others to be whipped to death!"
"If that's the case, how will I have the face to face the Chen family's ancestors after I die?"
Shu He looked at Baili Moqing, who had a very calm expression. The anger and murderous intent he had seen earlier had completely disappeared. At this moment, he seemed like an outsider, calmly watching a play that had nothing to do with him.
She didn't waste any more time talking to her, but kicked her unconscious.
She killed all the people in the Chen family except this old woman, and Yi'er was also his child. She wanted to leave the last person who had abused Yi'er to him for disposal.
Just when everyone thought that this shocking farce was about to end, another voice rang out, making everyone's hearts hang in suspense again.
"Even if the child's age matches, it cannot be said that he is definitely Cousin Mo Qing's child."
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned.
"It's Miss Nangong!"
