It Was A Fake Marriage, But Jiu Qian Sui Took It Seriously - Chapter 39

Lu Yuan shouted outside the mansion for a long time, and there was a lot of discussion at the entrance.

 “I heard that the lady of this marquis’s mansion broke off the engagement with the eldest son of the mansion. Could it be because of something like this?”

 “It’s a pity that General Shen, who was a wise man in his life, had such a fickle daughter. Look at the material and embroidery of this coat. Not even ordinary people can afford it.”

“I worked part-time in a cloth shop outside the city. This material was produced in that shop. They said it was specially made for Miss Shen Qing Li.”

Chun Hua was chattering with anger. It was obvious that these people were malicious. When does this man has ever made a special brocade for the young lady to use?

 Shen Qing Li calmly patted Chun Hua on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be angry. Let them say more. The more they say, the more mistakes they will make.”

 Seeing the young lady’s calm expression, Chun Hua felt more at ease.

 The tightly closed door of the Marquis’ Mansion opened with a creaky sound, the noisy discussions gradually died down, and everyone watched a breathtakingly beautiful girl walk out of the door. 

Everyone seemed to be frozen there, even the men who had just led her maliciously were shocked, this Miss Shen was so beautiful.

 Some children even cheered loudly: “Fairy sister, it’s the fairy sister who has come down to earth.”

 Lu Yuan’s obscene eyes were obsessed with Shen Qing Li. He fell in love with her the first time he saw her, but he still needed to pretend at that time. Now thinking that she was about to roll under him, a tingling sensation came from between his legs. He reached out his hand and wanted to touch her: “Miss Shen, I miss you so much. I didn’t do well that night and didn’t satisfy you, but that was the first time after all. You just can’t dump me at once. You said that we would be together until old age, how can you break your promise?”

As he said this, he actually squeezed out a few drops of evidence.

 Shen Qing Li took a step back with a cold face, avoiding his extended hand: “That’s nonsense, do you have any evidence?”

 Lu Yuan raised the coat in his hand and said, “Here is the evidence. I was a little rude that night and damaged your coat, and you threw it away. This fabric is specially made for the manor, and the embroidery on it is also from the Marquis’ Mansion. You can’t deny it.”

 He even shook out the clothes and showed them to the onlookers for them to take a closer look. 

Shen Qing Li walked over and pulled the clothes over. After taking a few glances, she said, “I never knew that the cloth shop had special cloth made for me. Anyone who knows a little about needlework can tell that although the cloth is good, the stitching is crudely made and rushed.”

 She showed the clothes to several ladies and said, “Not to mention the daughter of a marquis’s mansion, even ordinary farmers wouldn’t have such rough stitches in order to make this kind of cloth.”

 “Besides, in order to make clothes more comfortable, the ladies in the mansion rinse the newly made clothes before wearing them. It looks like your clothes were just made and haven’t been rinsed yet. How can I wear them out?”

 Shen Qing Li looked back angrily, her voice clear and pleasant: “You said that I left this dress behind, then why are there are still the cutting lines left after it was made?”

The inside of the clothes was marked with faint cutting lines left by chalk, clearly visible to everyone.

Lu Yuan thought to himself: Oh no!

Shen Qing Li’s face was calm, and her voice was calm: “What’s your explanation now?”

 “That’s what I said. I heard that General Shen left a large dowry for Miss Shen. It’s impossible for Miss Shen to find that kind of person with such dowry.”

 “It’s shameless to use a brand new piece of clothing to wrongly accuse someone. If he hadn’t forgotten these details, Miss Shen would have definitely been smeared by this guy today.”

 “Pah, with such a big stitch, the clothes tore within an hour of wearing them. Do you really think we are fools?”

Lu Yuan had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and stammered, “I, I might have been in a hurry… I took the wrong thing, I took the wrong thing. But the person who was having an affair with me was you——”

 He still insisted on Shen Qing Li. 

The onlookers on the side couldn’t bear it any longer.

 “Oh, you took the wrong one. Could it be that you kept the clothes of other girls? Why don’t you extort one and then another?”

 Shen Qing Li sneered: “You took the wrong one? Then where are my clothes? Tell me and I’ll send someone to get them right away.”

The sweat on Lu Yuan’s forehead flowed down to his temples: “No, no, no, I’ll go back and get it myself.”

 He wanted to run away after he finished speaking. Before Shen Qing Li could speak, Chun Hua chased him and kicked him back, stepping on his chest: “Tell me, who ordered you to harm my young lady.” 

Chun Hua’s kung fu is not as good as Shen Qing Li’s, but she is more than capable of dealing with a good-for-nothing like Lu Yuan.

 Lu Yuan felt a sharp pain in his chest. He wanted to curl up to relieve the pain but failed. He wailed, “Murder! Miss Shen is trying to murder her husband—”Lu Yuan was interrupted by a shrill voice.

 “Lord Jiu Qian Sui——”

The crowd knelt down and shouted “Long live the Duke”.

A low-key and luxurious carriage was carried by eight people stopped in front of them. The young eunuch carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage. Jun Mo Ran raised the corner of his lips and slowly stepped out of the his chair.

 He was dressed in an elegant dark blue python robe, his eyes were full of coldness, and he was playing with a jade pendant in his hand. He glanced at everyone lightly, and no one dared to look up. 

Chun Hua retracted her foot and helped Shen Qing Li kneel down together. Lu Yuan got a chance to catch his breath and, ignoring the pain, rolled over and knelt on the ground.

The chaotic scene suddenly became quiet. Jun Mo Ran looked around and saw Shen Qing Li kneeling there stubbornly, with a feeling of protest all over her. 

Shen Qing Li sensed the gaze on her and looked up to meet his eyes, which contained suppressed anger and apology. She understood… and shook her head gently to indicate that she was fine.

 Jun Mo Ran nodded and said to the eunuch beside him, “Go and help Miss Shen to stand up.”

 The eunuch bowed and took a few steps back, then walked to Shen Qing Li and helped her up.

 “Who is here to bully the loyal and brave queen? Do you think I am dead?”

Lord Jiu Qian Sui is famous. He fought in all directions with a silver spear and kept the country of Great Zhou peaceful. After returning to Beijing and settling down there for many years, he swept away the treacherous officials in the court with lightning speed and massacred the nobles of Shengjing. People almost forgot that he was a general, and the entire army of Great Zhou regarded him as a general.

 After hearing the word “loyal and brave”, Lu Yuan was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.

 Jun Mo Ran didn’t even look at him, and directly ordered: “Go, cut off his limbs.”

 Yunsheng drew his sword and walked towards Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan was so scared that he retreated backwards. While retreating, he hugged Shen Qing Li’s feet and shouted, “Ms. Shen, please spare me. I was blinded by greed and slandered you. Miss Shen, please save me.”

 Shen Qing Li didn’t expect that he would dare to do such inappropriate thing. She was frightened and kicked him away.

 Jun Mo Ran put away the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes became fierce, and he said in a cold voice: “Break his limbs, wait for Jingzhao Yin to finish the trial, and take him to Hei Bei for a feast.”

 Yunsheng did it himself, and Lu Yuan’s miserable screams echoed throughout the long street. Someone quickly stepped forward and pulled him away. 

Shen Qing Li was slightly startled. She almost forgot that he was the ruthless killer Jun Mo Ran. The young man swinging a sword on the battlefield appeared in her mind again. 

Jun Mo Ran walked in front of her, blocking everyone’s sight, and said lightly: “Go back first.” 

Shen Qing Li seemed to feel the heat coming from him and her heart beat rapidly.
