Chapter 402 Humiliation
"Shen Bazhi, how dare he deceive me?"
Recalling the letter Shen Bazhi sent her, which led her to mistakenly believe that He Yuyan was her daughter, she ended up believing that Wei'er was her daughter's killer...
The eldest princess's fair, jade-like fingers, resting on the desk, showed prominent blue veins.
"Lingchu, prepare the horses!"
"Princess, you wouldn't happen to be...?"
Ling Chu looked at the princess, only to see her sharp gaze sweep over him.
"I need to go to the military camp!"
Previously, He Yuyan's words had caused great harm to Wei'er, and now Wei'er would probably harbor great resentment towards her.
All she can do now is support her.
Whether it's business or anything else she wants.
The eldest princess looked ahead. She had already lost her husband, but she would never lose her daughter.
Even if Wei'er is unwilling to forgive herself, she is determined to atone for her sins and will never let Wei'er suffer this injustice in vain.
Qiyun Palace.
By this time, the noblewomen had already been cleared out by the Empress's men.
Apart from the two parties involved, everyone else remaining here was the Queen's people.
The Empress looked at Liu Shuning, who was kneeling on the ground with disheveled clothes and red, swollen eyes, and felt a sense of triumph.
You, Liu Shuning, have such high standards that you don't even think much of your own son.
He actually hanged himself and broke off his engagement for Lu Hanting. Now he's finally getting his comeuppance, hasn't he?
Compared to his son, Zhu Dadan was the laughing stock in the capital.
If it weren't for the fact that Princess Zhen was the emperor's cousin, he probably wouldn't have been sentenced to death even if he had ten heads.
Since the two of them have gotten together today, she should be generous and grant their wish.
"Young Master Zhu, do you know your crime?"
The Empress's voice was loud and clear, and her demeanor was majestic.
"Your Majesty, this is all a misunderstanding. I mistook you for someone else..."
Zhu Dadan strode forward, reluctantly explaining.
They thought their men would kidnap Wu Weiwei, but they ended up kidnapping the wrong daughter of Grand Tutor Liu...
Zhu Dadan looked at Liu Shuning and saw her staring at him with resentment in her eyes, her gaze filled with hatred.
Hehe, if it weren't for her, she probably would never have experienced what it's like to be a real woman in her life.
Besides, he is the famous Young Master Zhu in the capital, a man of handsome appearance. What right does she have to look down on him?
Zhu Dadan was very unhappy.
However, recalling Liu Shuning's soft and fragrant body lying beneath him just now, it must be said, it had a unique charm!
I can only blame myself for not being able to control myself...
"Misunderstand?"
The Empress looked down at Liu Shuning, feigning ignorance.
“Miss Liu, the young marquis says that today’s events were a complete misunderstanding. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shuning, who had been named, had a glint of light flash in her dark eyes.
The faint fishy smell emanating from below told her that although her body was innocent, it was an undeniable fact that she had been defiled by Zhu Dadan.
She looked up at Zhu Dadan, only to see him looking at her with a wistful expression.
In front of everyone, this despicable person actually said that it was all a misunderstanding?
Liu Shuning wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, feeling endless humiliation.
She would never let him off so easily!
"Your Majesty, I do not believe that what happened today was..."
Just as Liu Shuning was about to speak, she heard the Empress's sharp voice: "Miss Liu, what Young Marquis Zhu did today was indeed excessive."
However, I prefer to believe that this is all a misunderstanding…
As she spoke, the Empress looked at the two of them.
"In my opinion, let Young Marquis Zhu go to the Liu residence tomorrow to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back. At that time, let Grand Tutor Liu decide whether to punish him or not. What do you think, Young Marquis Zhu?"
Upon hearing the Empress's words, Zhu Dadan looked up in surprise.
"Your Majesty, this matter concerns your imperial uncle..."
Just as Zhu Dadan was about to protest, he saw the Empress glance at him.
"Alright, young marquis, if you feel that I have handled things incorrectly, you may go and see your imperial uncle later. I believe that His Majesty will have his own judgment!"
Hearing the Empress's words, Liu Shuning's hands, which were tucked into her sleeves, were clenched tightly, and her sharp nails dug fiercely into her palms.
The Empress, she must have done it on purpose.
Even if she was dissatisfied, what could she do? She was just the daughter of a Grand Tutor, powerless to oppose her or the entire Great Wei.
What happened at today's palace banquet will surely spread throughout the capital tomorrow, and then everyone in the capital will know that Zhu Dadan defiled their bodies.
Will Lu Hanting still marry me?
As Liu Shuning was being helped into the carriage by her maid after leaving the palace, a voice came from behind her.
Zhu Dadan hurriedly caught up and said, "Miss Liu, please wait..."
Upon hearing this sound, Liu Shuning nearly ground her teeth to powder.
Turn around.
Looking at the carefree playboy in front of her, if Liu Shuning had a sharp blade in her hand at this moment, she would definitely not hesitate to stab him in the chest.
"Young Master Zhu, is there anything else you wish to instruct me on?"
Looking at the pretty face in front of him, Zhu Dadan's eyes flashed with disdain.
However, thinking of her body that made him feel unbearably itchy, if only...
He felt that he could accept it.
“Miss Liu, you must have understood what the Empress just said. Although it is said that he is going to apologize with thorns on his back, looking at the entire capital, no one has yet appeared who would make me take the initiative to apologize, so…”
Zhu Dadan looked at her with an arrogant expression.
Liu Shuning frowned when she caught a glimpse of arrogance in the man's eyes.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Seeing the impatience in her eyes, and then remembering his own purpose, Zhu Dadan quickly said, "You'd better wait here at the manor. As for what I want to do, you'll find out tomorrow!"
Looking at his frail little body as he stepped onto the back of a servant to mount his horse, Liu Shuning recalled the scene of Lu Hanting riding his horse with ease, and felt a wave of contempt and nausea towards Zhu Dadan.
Seeing Zhu Dadan leave triumphantly, Liu Shuning's tightly furrowed brows showed a hint of unease.
Liu Mansion.
Grand Tutor Liu waited anxiously.
Because Lady Lu was feeling unwell, Grand Tutor Liu and his wife left the palace banquet early today, but unexpectedly their daughter encountered such a terrible thing.
When the steward announced that his daughter had returned, Grand Tutor Liu hurriedly went out to greet her.
"Ning'er, are you...are you alright?"
Looking at his daughter, who looked haggard and had changed into a suit, Liu Ziyu asked with heartache.
Liu Shuning looked at him coldly.
"Is Father acting this way because he feels his daughter is being treated unfairly?"
At today's palace banquet, she had clearly signaled countless times with her eyes for him to plead with the emperor on behalf of Lu Hanting, but her father seemed to be blind and remained unmoved.
If he and the Lu family hadn't left early, he probably wouldn't have been ambushed and lost his reputation...
Now that she's ended up like this, why should he show this heartbroken look?
"Ning'er, don't worry, your father will go to the palace first thing tomorrow morning to ask the Emperor to punish that beast."
If he doesn't receive the punishment he deserves, your father will...
"How would you like?"
Liu Shuning stepped forward, her eyes filled with a chilling light.
Seeing his daughter staring at him with a cold look in her eyes, Liu Ziyu felt a chill run down his spine.
Ning'er, does she really hate me?
However, the reason he did not refuse the beauty bestowed by the emperor on Lu Hanting's behalf today was partly due to the majesty of the royal family, and partly for her sake!
The Marquis of Dingguo's family line cannot be allowed to die out.
If their daughter were to marry into the Marquis of Dingguo's household, she would definitely have to take a concubine for Lu Hanting to continue the family line.
But she couldn't have children. If one of those beauties could give birth to a son for Lu Hanting, his daughter, as the legal wife, could raise the child herself. This was also for her sake.
He never expected her to be humiliated today...
