Chapter 330: The criminal is tried at the wedding, and the bride is rejected
"Who are you? Do you think you can interfere in the affairs of the Yan family?"
Guan Huizhi's face looked grim, and there was a hint of worry hidden in her angry eyes.
This woman’s question is too sharp!
If Chuntao gave an inappropriate answer to these details, Shu Yue might get into trouble.
Never let them talk again!
"Madam Shu, these two are my friends. They are here to congratulate the Yan family on their great celebration today. The South China Sea Night-Shining Pearl that Second Young Master Shu had his eye on was a gift from them."
A cold voice sounded, causing everyone's eyes to turn.
"It's Master Yan! It turns out these two girls are acquaintances of Master Yan!"
"No wonder he speaks so sharply! As expected, the eldest master's friends are no ordinary people!"
Guan Huizhi was about to speak when she heard Yan Yuze say, "Madam Shu, this happened at the wedding banquet. Some guests were confused and just asked a few questions. You don't need to be so nervous, right?"
"Since this was done by Diao Nu and has nothing to do with my sister-in-law, then let's listen to her explanation."
After Yan Yuze finished speaking, someone echoed, "Yes, Madam Shu, don't be anxious. Let the maid explain the matter clearly. This will help clear Miss Shu's name completely, right?"
Guan Huizhi's face looked extremely ugly, and Shu Yue behind her was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
The killer was contacted by her mother, and Chuntao was completely unaware of this. She was only responsible for bringing the beggars to desecrate the corpse...
She glared at Chuntao, afraid that she would say something bad.
Chuntao, can't you understand the look in my eyes?
go to hell!
As long as you commit suicide out of fear of punishment, they will have no way to continue investigating!
It’s a pity that Chuntao understood her hints, but she didn’t have the courage to commit suicide.
After all, not everyone is Ziying under Zhu Zifeng.
"Why, Miss Chuntao can't even say these things?"
"Didn't you say that you were the only one who did this? Or did you simply follow orders from beginning to end and have no idea of the details?"
The woman in green spoke again, causing Chuntao, who was kneeling on the ground, to become visibly flustered.
"me……"
In a panic, she met Guan Huizhi's eyes, and the threat in her eyes was about to burst out.
"Chun Tao, your parents have taught you to be honest and loyal since you were a child. You'd better tell the truth about this matter in every detail! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your parents' teachings?" Guan Huizhi looked heartbroken, but always mentioned her parents inadvertently.
How come Shu He couldn't see her intention?
She spoke again, chuckling, "Madam Shu, what you said is inappropriate. Those who know will think you are persuading Chuntao to confess the truth, while those who don't will think you are threatening her with her parents!"
"you!!"
Guan Huizhi was filled with shame and anger. Where did this bitch come from? How dare she be so disrespectful to her! Her words were like lifting her face in front of everyone and slapping her!
Noticing the faint smiles on the faces of the ladies, she immediately suppressed her anger and forced a smile, "How is that possible? I just asked her to tell the truth..."
"So, no matter what happens, your Shu family shouldn't implicate innocent people, right?"
Guan Huizhi was about to nod when she heard her speak again, "Don't let Chuntao say something she shouldn't say, and then someone else in the Shu family dies the next day!"
"After all, it's not like something like this hasn't happened to the Shu family before, right?"
As soon as these words fell, almost everyone present changed their expressions.
Could she be hinting at something that happened to the other young lady of the Shu family five years ago and the eldest son of the Shu family three years ago?
Could it be that the rumors were true? Were the two young masters and young ladies of the Shu family murdered by their own family members?
Needless to say, everyone in Kyoto knew about the former eldest daughter of the Shu family. Later, people only heard that she was sent to live in a rural farm. But not long after, news spread that the former eldest daughter had died unexpectedly...
After all, the incident back then also involved Prince Dongli, now known as Prince Li, and the people in Kyoto just talked and laughed about it and let it go, not daring to delve into it further.
But three years ago, the eldest son of the Shu family said some shocking drunken words in a tavern. Later, a few days later, it was reported that he had died of an acute illness.
This matter caused quite a stir three years ago, but later it seemed like someone deliberately suppressed the news, and over time, the matter was left unresolved.
After all, the son of a fourth-rank military general is not an important figure. If this matter had not come from the Shu family, it would probably not have caused any waves.
Now, the Shu family was being secretly ridiculed, and with the drama caused by Shu Yue’s wedding, it really made people doubt the true character of the Shu family!
"Yan Lang, you don't know yet, do you? A few days ago, Shu Yue came to me and warned me, and she said something. Although I don't know if it's true or not, after hearing it, I was terrified."
Yan Yucheng didn't expect this to happen and asked nervously, "What did she say?"
"She said that if anyone dared to stand in her way, she would make him disappear from this world quietly! Even if he was a blood relative, she would not show any mercy!"
"Yan Lang, I've heard that the Shu family is superior to Shu Yue. They have an older brother named Shu Yuanqing and an older sister named Shu He. News of their deaths has spread one after another. Yan Lang, could it be that they were also assassinated?"
"Shut up!" A fan with a pattern of birds paying homage to the phoenix wrapped in gold thread flew out and hit Su Qianlan directly on the forehead.
The instigator was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes were red, "When did I tell you these words? I just asked you to abort the child, if you listened to..." If he had listened to her, there would not have been this assassination!
Yan Yucheng was furious. "Shu Yue! You vicious woman, you didn't even spare a child! And you dare to say that this assassination was not ordered by you?!"
"I, Yan Yucheng, am truly blind to think you are such a kind woman! Your Shu family is nothing but a den of snakes and rats!"
"Yan Yucheng! You've gone too far!" Shu Yue was so angry that her legs went weak and she took several steps back. Even the phoenix crown on her head was shaking, as if it would fall off at the next second.
"Excessive? You even dared to kill people, how dare you say I'm excessive?!"
"you…!!"
"enough!"
Yan Shen, who was sitting in the main hall, had an expression that couldn't get any uglier.
Even when he argued fiercely with Grand Tutor Zhu Heng in the court, he had never been so angry.
How could this be a wedding banquet? It's clearly a trial of a criminal!
Or use the scandal of his Yan family to judge his daughter-in-law! !
Can this face be any more embarrassed?
"I'm sorry, everyone. Today is an auspicious day, and I thought it would add to the joy, but I didn't expect such an unseemly incident to occur."
"The wedding banquet at the Yan Mansion has ended ahead of schedule. The gifts you all sent will be returned by someone from the Yan Mansion tomorrow."
"I'm deeply ashamed to have caused such a joke at the banquet hall, causing you all to come here in vain. I apologize here!"
After Yan Shen finished speaking, he bowed to everyone, and everyone quickly returned the greeting.
He is a first-rank official. Apart from the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince's wife and the Ninth Prince, who else present dares to accept his gift?
After returning the gift, he ordered them to leave, "Everyone, I will not see you off any further."
After hearing this, everyone's faces changed and they all left.
As they were leaving, some people were discussing, "Prime Minister Yan, are you saying this wedding banquet is not going to take place?"
Someone replied, "Isn't it obvious? They've even sent back the gifts, which means they don't recognize the marriage!"
"But Miss Shu has already been brought back, and the ceremony has been half completed. Is it possible that we can send her back?"
"What's wrong with returning it? If we really marry a woman who can't even bear a child, who knows how much trouble the Yan family will cause! No smart person would want this Miss Shu!"
When Guan Huizhi in the hall heard these discussions, she felt a shock in her head, as if struck by lightning, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
"Father, what do you mean?"
Shu Yue's face was pale, showing anger and humiliation, and she was clearly expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Miss Shu, you and Yucheng have only completed half of the ceremony. I haven't even drunk the tea. According to etiquette, you are not yet the daughter-in-law of my Yan family. Please choose your words with discretion."
Subtext: Don’t call me dad, I can’t afford to lose face!
"You, you guys..."
Shu Yue felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted.
What do they mean?
Do you want to cancel the engagement?
She had already entered the door. If she really retreated, wouldn't she, Shu Yue, become the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto?
"Your Highness Prince Jin, Your Highness Prince Nanyu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you both today. It's truly my fault for not raising my son well enough, allowing him to have a child outside of marriage, leading to this ridiculous situation."
"The Yan family will resolve the Yan family's affairs on their own. However, today's wedding banquet cannot continue. Please return home."
"Prime Minister Yan, this matter has not been fully investigated yet. You are..."
"Princess Jin!" Yan Can's face showed obvious dissatisfaction. "What is the truth of this matter? I believe that everyone attending the wedding banquet today knows it well. Some things are better not to be exposed, lest there is no way out!"
After saying this, he looked at Shu Kelin, who had not spoken a word, and asked, "General Shu, what do you say?"
