Chapter 539 No!
That’s right, although Shen Meiru and Shen Jingzhen were both kneeling, it was indeed Shen Meiru who was beaten.
After all, Shen Jingzhen is pregnant now. Regardless of whether it is an illegitimate child or not, Shen Jingchuan, as the father, has to consider his reputation.
Otherwise, if word gets out that his cheating daughter had a miscarriage because of his few slaps, his reputation will be ruined.
So no matter how angry Shen Jingchuan was, he couldn't do this.
"Tell me! Did you frame your third sister?" Shen Jingchuan was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed his finger at Shen Meiru and trembled all over.
Shen Meiru was kneeling on the ground, still looking aggrieved, cowardly and pitiful.
"Dad, it really wasn't me! How could I do such a thing? Besides, how could I know that my third sister was pregnant!"
Shen Meiru felt really aggrieved. This matter had nothing to do with her. She just... just wanted to help out. She never expected that in the end the blame would fall on her.
'Snapped! '
Shen Jingchuan raised his hand and slapped Shen Meiru hard on the face again.
"father!"
Shen Meiru staggered after being hit. It was obvious that Shen Jingchuan was ruthless and showed no mercy at all. In just a moment, Shen Meiru's face was swollen.
Seeing Shen Shuyi coming, Shen Jingchuan was still very angry.
"Sister Yi, tell me, what's going on?"
Shen Shuyi looked calm and said slowly: "Father, this matter is indeed strange. Since Fifth Sister saw the assassin in the Princess's Mansion, if you want to find out, Father might as well start with her injuries."
Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on Shen Meiru's arm. Although it had been simply bandaged, blood was still oozing out after all this ordeal.
Shen Jingchuan was so angry that his head was spinning. He asked unhappily, "How do we start with the injury?"
Shen Shuyi said slowly: "According to what Fifth Sister said, there were six or seven assassins. I think since they entered the Princess's Mansion to assassinate, they must have brought weapons with them. Let's take a look at Fifth Sister's wounds first to see what weapon left them."
Shen Jingchuan could hardly think at this moment, he just felt that it sounded like it made some sense.
"Go call the doctor!"
Not long after, the female doctor who usually works in the mansion examined Shen Meiru's injuries and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, the wound on Miss Fifth's body must have been caused by a sharp weapon. It looks like... it was scratched by a dagger."
"But fortunately, the wound is not serious. After some recuperation, it should be fine. But if there is no good medicine, it may leave scars."
After hearing this, Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Shuyi. His head was dizzy with anger and he seemed unable to process what was going on.
"The female doctor said it was a dagger wound."
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were calm: "Father, do you think that the assassin who went to such great lengths to assassinate the princess in the Princess's mansion would only use a dagger?"
If the assassin disguised himself as a maid and attacked the person at close range, he might use a dagger.
But the Princess's Mansion is heavily guarded. If, as Shen Meiru said, so many people sneaked in together, how could they not have suitable weapons?
How could a dagger, a weapon used for close-range assassination, possibly succeed?
Shen Jingchuan regained some of his rationality at this point. He stared at Shen Meiru coldly and said, "The assassin was able to stab you with a dagger, so I think the distance must have been very close. How could you have escaped?"
Shen Meiru's cheeks were swollen and she was crying with tears and snot. The tear marks on her face were frozen into a frosty white color, making her look miserable.
Qin Xuerong sat aside, looking at her daughter and Shen Meiru, feeling uneasy.
I'm always afraid that this hoof will bite me.
As they were talking, Aunt Han hurried over. Seeing that Shen Jingzhen was fine but her daughter was beaten black and blue, she felt heartbroken.
She knelt down and rushed forward: "Master, Sister Ru has always been well-behaved, she wouldn't be such a person! She has never been to the Princess's Mansion, how could she have the guts to plot against Sister Zhen!"
"Besides, how would Sister Ru know that Sister Zhen is pregnant? Even if she had the guts to do that, she wouldn't dare to plot against the prince of the Princess's Mansion..."
Aunt Han cried with tears and snot, and held Shen Jingchuan tightly and begged.
Their sister Ru was originally a concubine's daughter. Now she is bound to be suspected by others because of this incident. What should she do with her future marriage?
Although Aunt Han's crying was annoying, what she said was not without reason.
Shen Jingchuan's eyes were gloomy as he stared at Shen Meiru and Shen Jingzhen, who was standing beside him with her head down and not daring to breathe.
Just then, Zhang Jinping from the second house came in a hurry with his men.
Logically speaking, Zhang Jinping shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the first wife's family, but the two wives have not separated. Now Shen Jingzhen is ruining the reputation of the Shen family, and even the marriage of their second wife's daughter will be affected, so naturally she has to come.
"Brother, Sister Zhen is really going too far. How could she, the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, degenerate into this state? She has let others think that the daughter of our Shen family is so despicable..."
"My poor Ran! Woohoo... right now is the time to discuss marriage, how can I face people?"
His sister-in-law ran up to him and cried, and Shen Jingchuan's old face turned red with embarrassment.
"Don't worry, big brother will give you an explanation for this matter." Shen Jingchuan said stiffly.
Zhang Jinping wiped away her barely noticeable tears: "I believe in you, brother. You must give an explanation for this matter!"
Shen Jingchuan turned his head and looked at Shen Jingzhen. He wanted to kick her several times, but he held back in the end.
"Why don't you tell me? When did you have any contact with Feng Bochang?"
When this was mentioned, Shen Jingchuan became extremely angry.
It turns out that everything has a traceable path. No wonder she talked to me like that during Qiu Lie, and no wonder she was so confident at that time.
It turned out that the two had been hooking up with each other for a long time.
What a vile thing!
Shen Jingchuan felt that his entire life's reputation was ruined by this evil girl!
Shen Jingzhen was obedient. Seeing that Shen Jingchuan didn't dare to do anything to her, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Shen Jingchuan felt a lump in his throat. He turned to look at Qin Xuerong and angrily scolded, "Look at how you manage your children! They are so shameless and calculating!"
Qin Xuerong's face was also ugly, but if it was a concubine's daughter it would be fine, but this person was her own biological daughter.
She really didn't know how Shen Jingzhen could become like this, as if she was possessed by a ghost.
Shen Jingchuan was so angry that his eyes went dark. "Go, ask the doctor to get a bowl of abortion medicine. After aborting this evil creature, immediately cut her into pieces and send her to a nunnery in the suburbs to be a nun! From now on, keep a strict watch on her and don't let her step out of the nunnery again!"
Shen Jingzhen didn't react much at the time. After all, when such a big thing happened, she thought of all kinds of possibilities.
But until this moment, listening to Shen Jingchuan's words, she could no longer remain calm!
She raised her head suddenly, her eyes red, and looked at Shen Jingchuan in horror.
"Dad...No!"
If the baby in her belly was aborted, she would have no hope in this life.
"You can't abort my child. Brother Feng will come to marry me. Brother Feng promised me..."
She wants to protect their children!
