259. Chapter 259 Harm others instead of harming oneself 【04】
Shen Mingzhu looked at her coldly, knowing that Mrs. Liu's intention was just to sell it in public, and if she didn't comply, she could be labeled as a disobedient.
If she obeys, it will show her generosity, and from now on, she can legitimately control and discipline herself.
Huh, what a beautiful thought!
Shen Yunluo looked at Shen Mingzhu and was about to cry, "Sister, stop being stubborn. This is not in the house. You have to listen to your mother."
What she meant was, it's okay for you, Shen Mingzhu, to show off your power in the house and not listen to your mistress. Now that you are in full view of everyone outside, the Queen is still here. If you are still so domineering, you are simply asking for your own death!
The feeling of pride is beyond words.
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at her, and said: "Empress, I have a request."
The Queen was already sitting upright at this time, "You say."
Shen Mingzhu pointed to her armband and said crisply: "My Lady, the jade pendant is in my daughter's armband pocket, but it was not stolen by my daughter."
There were endless scoldings all around, "You didn't steal it, could it be that it grew legs on its own and ran into your pocket?"
Changsun Xian's face was as frosty as she stretched out her hand, and the girl in smart clothes handed over the riding whip.
She grabbed it and threw it towards Shen Mingzhu with a "swish" sound. With a "pop" sound, the riding whip hit the floor tiles in front of Shen Mingzhu, and the sound was clear and harsh.
"Shen Mingzhu, I'll give you a chance. If you don't tell the truth, I'll break your neck!"
She has practiced martial arts with the princess since she was a child. Although she is not an expert in decision-making, she can also ride horses and archery, and is good at everything.
The murder weapon was in front, and the tip of the whip swept across Shen Mingzhu's face with fierce wind, even sweeping away a few of her hair.
Shen Mingzhu's face remained calm and calm.
The queen looked at her and secretly praised her. She was indeed an extraordinary woman, and her heroic demeanor was much higher than that of her mother.
If Ruolan could have had the mentality of her daughter back then, she wouldn't have been forced to die.
"Shen Mingzhu, what do you have to say?"
Shen Mingzhu straightened up and looked at the Queen firmly, "I have something to say, Queen, although this jade pendant is in my sleeve, I did not steal it, and naturally it did not come here by myself, let alone My daughter picked it up, but as for how it came about, I’m afraid I have to ask some people with ulterior motives.”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar again.
Some people directly accused her of being shameless, while others hesitated, thinking that what she said was credible. If she really stole it, she wouldn't be able to say that.
Besides, who is so obsessed with money that he steals the princess's things here?
Even if you grew up in the countryside, you probably haven't seen anything and don't know what the crime of decapitation is.
Mrs. Liu and Shen Yunluo wished that the queen would immediately arrest Shen Mingzhu and search her body. If the evidence was conclusive, they could convict her of death.
At the very least, Madam must take it back and keep it under strict supervision. She is not allowed to enter or leave Shen's house at will.
In this case, Shen Mingzhu is Mrs. Liu's prisoner and can be tortured as much as she wants.
And Shen Mingzhu can never think about changing her life, let alone get married, so life is good.
Changsun Xian wanted to threaten Shen Mingzhu. Princess Yan frowned slightly and said, "Xian'er, come here, let's just watch together."
Since Changsun Xian secretly had a crush on Xiao Xian, she naturally wanted to respect Princess Yan. She immediately handed her over and said, "Okay."
