"Shut up!" The old Marquis glared at him with hatred.
Shen Zhijiang did not dare to speak.
Shen Yuting collapsed on the ground with tears on her face, her face full of confusion.
She finally hoped that her aunt would take over, but why was her hope dashed in the blink of an eye?
The prince walked down the steps of the old marquis and said: "Since the old marquis guarantees it, this matter will be dropped, and I will not say more. Regarding the matter of Fahrenheit paying murderers and colluding with bandits, I thought that she was pregnant and her health was
If it is weak and does not cause serious consequences, I will leave it alone and not pursue it."
"Thank you, Your Highness, I am deeply grateful!" The old Marquis breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bent down to express his thanks.
"Old Marquis, don't be too busy thanking me. I haven't finished speaking yet."
The prince waved his hands with a majestic and solemn expression: "After all, Hua made a mistake in the first place and must not go unpunished! According to my order, during Hua's lifetime, the Marquis of Nanyang cannot make her his wife, and the heirs she gives birth to will not inherit the title of Marquis of Nanyang in the future.
!”
The old Marquis's pupils tightened: "..."
"No! Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Shen Yuting cried on the spot.
This punishment is really too severe.
Not only did it completely deprive Aunt Hua of her hope of ascending to the throne, but it also eliminated the possibility that her mother would be more valuable than her son.
In this way, no matter whether Aunt Hua gives birth to a son or a daughter, she will not be able to get any benefit from the child in her life.
For a woman in the backyard, this is simply a more severe punishment than killing her!
Xiao Lingyue thought to herself, if "Shen Wan" knew what happened to Aunt Hua, she would be happy, right?
The prince's punishment was very fair. It not only took care of the childlessness of the Shen family, but also gave the culprit a painful lesson.
"Your Highness has a kind heart, so this is the most appropriate way to deal with it!" The courtiers and guests present were extremely satisfied.
Those noble ladies who were almost on an equal footing with my aunt even covered their mouths and showed gloating smiles.
How despicable is a mere aunt?
Do you dare to hope for the position of Madam Hou?
It's really ridiculous.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness! She really didn't mean it..." Only Shen Yuting cried endlessly.
Aunt Hua could not ascend to the throne, and the son she gave birth to could not inherit the title, which meant that Shen Yuting could only be a concubine for the rest of her life.
She wanted to marry into the royal family and become a concubine, but this wish could never be realized.
Shen Yuting cried bitterly unwillingly.
The prince ignored her, and she knelt and crawled to King Xiang again, pulling on the hem of his clothes and crying: "Your Highness, King Xiang, please help me to speak. My aunt has already realized her mistake! She cannot remain an aunt all her life.
.....”
Prince Xiang pushed her away in disgust: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made the decision. What is the use of begging me?"
Shen Yuting cried even harder: "Your Highness, you have forgotten us..."
Prince Xiang suddenly covered her mouth and said to the prince guiltily: "She is delirious and talking nonsense, brother, don't pay attention... I will take her to comfort her right now!"
"Go." The prince was too lazy to care.
Prince Xiang dragged Shen Yuting, who was crying endlessly, and fled in a hurry.
The prince looked at Xiao Lingyue who was standing aside, and asked with a smile: "Miss Shen San, are you satisfied with this treatment?"
Xiao Lingyue nodded without hesitation: "Very satisfied, thank you, His Royal Highness!"
"That's good." The prince looked at her meaningfully, then glanced at the third brother next to him.
This kid is still staring straight at people...
What on earth does he want to do?
Today’s theme is Mr. Hou’s birthday.
Although there were many twists and turns along the way, the birthday banquet still had to go on, and the prince and the princes could not go in vain.
So, the unconscious Aunt Hua was carried down.
Xiao Lingyue watched her figure disappear and thought with great interest: When she wakes up and learns of the prince's punishment, will she be so angry that she vomits blood?
The honor of a woman in the backyard depends first on her husband and second on her children.
Aunt Hua cares about the child in her belly now because she has expectations for the child.
If she wakes up and learns that this child is destined not to bring her any benefits, will she still love him as always?
And Shen Zhijiang.
He was also covered in blood and was helped down, but his expression had not yet come to his senses.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Chengwei also said goodbye to the prince and the old marquis, and hurriedly left with the shackled bandits and soldiers.
The birthday party begins again.
The old marquis personally invited the prince, King Yi and King Cheng to the main table. King Xiang also came back with Shen Yuting, and it seemed that he had coaxed them well.
The guests took their seats one after another, but Xiao Lingyue was the only one who remained standing.
"Third sister, why don't you sit down?" Shen Yuting walked over softly.
She had redressed her makeup, and her makeup was restored to be exquisite. When she walked around, her soft willows supported the wind, which highlighted the reddish corners of her eyes. She was really a delicate beauty.
When she stood in front of Xiao Lingyue, one was beautiful and the other was ugly, and the contrast was particularly tragic.
Xiao Lingyue saw the malice and hatred flashing in her eyes, and asked coldly: "Second sister, are you here to ask questions knowingly?"
Shen Yuting: "..."
"The birthday banquet was prepared by Aunt Hua. She thought I would die on the road and never come back, so she didn't even arrange a place for me. Don't you know?" Xiao Lingyue mocked coldly.
For the birthday banquet in the Hou Mansion, the seating arrangement is very particular and has been arranged well in advance.
All guests have a fixed seat, and men and women sit in separate seats, one carrot in the other, and no random seating is allowed.
Xiao Lingyue is now the extra "carrot", and there is no seat for her in the entire banquet hall.
Shen Yuting immediately excused herself: "This is arranged by my aunt, I don't know!"
Xiao Lingyue said with a faint smile: "Then why did you come here to ask? Are you so kind and planning to give up your position to me?"
"I..." Shen Yuting choked, wanting to scream.
Who wants to give up the position to her?
But before she could speak, Xiao Lingyue said again: "Let's forget it."
Consider her sensible!
Shen Yuting's anger turned into happiness, and she thought triumphantly: Shen Wan must have seen that she had a good relationship with His Highness Prince Xiang, so she didn't dare to compete with her for a seat.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingyue said: "After all, I am the legitimate daughter and you are the concubine. If I take your position, wouldn't it mean that I am devaluing myself?"
Shen Yuting: "..."
The prince and guests who were eavesdropping: "..."
What a cruel mouth!
Words without dirty words are hurtful, but every word hurts the heart.
Shen Yuting failed to stir up trouble but was ridiculed. She was so angry that she almost cried: "You and I are both my father's daughters. I regard you as my own sister. How can you talk like this! You really hurt my heart too much...
...." As he said this, he started crying into his handkerchief.
Xiao Lingyue immediately took a step back, disgust written on her face: "No! You want to be superior, but I don't want to be humble. Have you ever heard of my concubine?"
"But we are all daddy's daughters..."
"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Xiang are both His Majesty's princes. Why can't Prince Xiang be the Crown Prince?" Xiao Lingyue asked quietly.
Of course, it's because we are different from our concubines, they are born different.
Shen Yuting: "..."
The prince and guests: "..." She really dares to say anything.
King Xiang lay on his back again: "Pfft!"
He spit out a sip of tea and jumped up on the spot: "What does this have to do with me? Third Miss, you are not innocent!" Hot 『』 This chapter has been completed!
