Chapter 78 If you don’t want to die, destroy your face!
Zheng fell to the ground, blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth, his mouth full of blood.
He was stunned for a long while before coming back to his senses, and suddenly screamed in shock.
"How dare you, a slut, hit me!"
Shen Tangan frowned unhappily and gave her a look.
Yunzhu nodded, turned around and slapped him again.
The maid from Lihuayuan wanted to step forward but was stopped by the servants around her.
"Madam Zheng, if you dare to speak disrespectfully again, the next blow will be a bamboo stick."
Shen Tangan raised his eyes slightly and reminded coldly.
Zheng then woke up as if from a dream. She was unwilling to kneel down and bowed to her respectfully.
"I come to see the princess."
She did not respond, and the person on the ground had to maintain this posture. When she was almost unable to hold on, she heard a slow voice speaking.
"Aunt, please get up. Why do you have to perform such a big ceremony?"
When Zheng heard this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She almost gritted her teeth to pieces before she could relax.
Even though it was difficult for her to stand up, no one around her dared to help her.
"I wonder why my aunt came to my princess's courtyard and made a scene, and even beat my princess's maid into this state?"
Meng Shu's hair was disheveled, there was a slap mark on her left cheek, and her clothes were torn loose, which showed that Zheng's methods were dirty.
"My princess, you don't know yet, but the prostitute you brought back from the brothel has already hooked up with the Marquis, right?"
Zheng seemed to have finally found something to mock her, and she cursed Meng Shu mercilessly in front of her.
"I heard that she was rescued by the princess, but I didn't expect her to be such an ungrateful person. She climbed into the master's bed in just a few days. I'm afraid she will have to be called aunt by the princess in the future."
She looked at Shen Tangan with smug eyes, knowing that the prostitute she brought back had an affair with her father. No one would be able to accept it, right?
Doesn't she consider herself smart?
You didn't expect to be betrayed by someone in your own courtyard this time!
The person she rescued personally stabbed her in the back. I don’t know how sad she felt and how interesting her expression was.
"is it?"
What she didn't expect was that Shen Tangan had an indifferent expression and was too lazy to even raise his eyelids to look at her.
"What evidence does Auntie have?"
Seeing Shen Tangan so calm, Zheng became even angrier and raised her voice.
"Evidence? Who in this mansion doesn't know it? The Marquis stayed in that bitch's room last night!"
"Is this possible?"
I looked up at Meng Shu. I couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry or sad in his voice. It seemed that he was asking about something very ordinary.
"My Lord, you like to listen to my music, but you were late yesterday and didn't stay here. Please understand, my Lord!"
Meng Shu knelt on the ground, speaking in an earnest voice. She raised her head and looked at Zheng with tears in her eyes and aggrieved look.
"Please don't frame Mengshu. Although Mengshu used to be a prostitute, she changed her ways when she was rescued by the princess. She used to be in a brothel because she had to make a living. Auntie has never experienced Mengshu's suffering. Please don't say such hurtful words."
"Why are you pretending to be pitiful and innocent, you bitch! If you hadn't seduced the Marquis, how could the Marquis have been deceived by you!"
Zheng's eyes widened, her face slowly twisted, and she reached out to grab Meng Shu's face with hatred on her face.
"Auntie."
Shen Tangan stopped her coldly, "Auntie, you dare to speak nonsense in front of this princess just based on these unfounded rumors? If you can't produce any real evidence and slander the people in the princess's courtyard, can you bear the consequences?"
Meng Shu, who was trembling with fear at Zheng's words, burst into tears: "My princess, please understand. Meng Shu is loyal to you and would never do such a shameful thing."
When Zheng saw this, her hatred became even stronger. She had arranged for the servants in Qingzhu Courtyard to see it with their own eyes, so how could it be false?
"How can you believe what this slave girl says? Princess, please don't be deceived by her, or does the princess want to protect the people in her courtyard?"
"Then I will send someone to ask my father, and we will know which one is true and which one is false."
Shen Tangan glanced at her coldly, with a sneer on his face.
"Why bother the Marquis with this matter? Just deal with this slave girl directly, so that she won't stay in the Marquis' Mansion and cause trouble!"
When Zheng heard that Shen Jiyuan was going to be invited, she felt a little panicked.
She is currently still under house arrest. If the Marquis knew that she had gone to Qingzhu Courtyard and caused a scene, he would not forgive her.
If she hadn't known today that the Marquis was extremely busy in the front hall, and if Wan'er hadn't been named the Crown Prince's concubine, how could she have come here so arrogantly.
Anyway, her goal was to deal with Meng Shu. If this vixen disappeared, the Marquis's heart would return to her.
"Madam Zheng, Mengshu is just a poor person with no one to rely on. I beg you to leave me a way out. I escaped death and lived a peaceful life in the Marquis's mansion for two days under the protection of the princess. I hope you can spare Mengshu!"
When Meng Shu heard that she was going to punish him, he immediately knelt down in front of her and cried and begged. He looked so pitiful.
She is beautiful and fragile to begin with, and she cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. Anyone who saw her would want to love her a little.
"You can stay if you want. Cut your face and I'll let you stay."
Zheng looked at her face, with flames of jealousy burning in her eyes.
Isn't this bitch just relying on her beauty to seduce the Marquis?
Shen Tangan glared at him and scolded, "Zheng, don't go too far! This is my princess's courtyard, it's not your turn to be so presumptuous! You are so arrogant and domineering, do you still have the rules of the Marquis' Mansion in your eyes, do you still have me, the princess, in your eyes?"
At this moment, Shen Jiyuan hurried over after being informed by the servant. He looked at everyone with an angry face and said in a deep voice: "What is going on? How shameful! The whole mansion has been messed up by you!"
Zheng's face turned pale instantly, and she knelt down hurriedly to explain: "My Lord, I am also concerned about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. This Meng Shu has an unknown background and behaves improperly. I am worried that she will ruin the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, so I want to clean up the mess for you and the princess. I hope you can understand."
Shen Tangan stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "Father, Aunt Zheng's actions this time were too reckless. Just based on some unfounded rumors, she wanted to do such a cruel thing to Meng Shu. This is unreasonable. Meng Shu was rescued by my daughter, and I believe in her character. If she is punished so easily, who in the Marquis' Mansion will dare to believe in justice in the future?"
Shen Jiyuan looked at Meng Shu with scrutiny in his eyes and said, "Meng Shu, you must tell the truth. Don't tell a lie. If you lie, I will not forgive you."
Meng Shu sobbed and told the whole story in detail: "My Lord, you did listen to music in my room last night, but you left later because you had other business to attend to. You never stayed overnight. Aunt Zheng heard the rumor from somewhere and wanted to kill me. My life is miserable. Fortunately, the princess saved me. I just want to live a peaceful life in the Marquis' Mansion. I have never had any unreasonable thoughts. I hope the Marquis and the princess will understand."
After hearing this, Shen Jiyuan glared at Zheng and said sternly, "You jealous woman, you keep making trouble all day. Miss Mengshu was saved by Tang An, and it would be fine if you don't feel grateful, but you are making malicious speculations and slandering her. Don't you take me and the princess seriously by doing this?"
Zheng trembled and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "My Lord, I know I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment and was blinded by greed, so I made such a big mistake. I beg you to forgive me this time for the sake of my many years of service."
"Confused for a moment? You have caused trouble in the mansion many times, and this time is unforgivable. From today on, your house arrest is lifted and you are punished to go to the Buddhist temple to reflect on your mistakes for three months. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the temple! Reflect on your own mistakes!"
