"Waaah!" Looking at the approaching maid and nanny, Shen Caixuan shook her head in terror, tears streaming down her face.
Shen Lixue smiled, flicked her slender fingers, and another silver light flew out, shooting towards the rope on Shen Caixuan's wrist. If Shen Minghui were to kidnap Shen Caixuan just like that, things would become less interesting. This concerned the family scandals of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Grand Commandant's Mansion, so of course the bigger the commotion, the better.
With her wrists loosened, Shen Caixuan was overjoyed to find the rope had broken. She quickly broke free of her restraints, took the cotton handkerchief out of her mouth, and screamed in anguish, "It wasn't me who committed adultery with Lei Cong, it was my sister, Shen Yingxue, the most beautiful woman in Qingyan!"
The guests were instantly in an uproar. This was truly explosive news. They had heard before that Shen Yingxue and Lei Cong were having an affair, but then it was said that there was a mistake and that it was Shen Caixuan and Lei Cong who were having an affair. Their marriage made everyone believe this story even more. Why is it that now it has become Shen Yingxue and Lei Cong?
Shen Yingxue glared at Shen Caixuan with hatred, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire with anger: Bitch, bitch, bitch! She's already ruined, and she still dragged me down with her. How shameless and despicable!
Prince Zhan, he won't misunderstand me, will he?
Shen Yingxue hurriedly turned to look at Dongfang Zhan, only to see him standing in the crowd, his gentle gaze passing through several guests, looking at Shen Lixue two meters away without even glancing at her. She immediately gritted her teeth in hatred. First Shen Caixuan, then Shen Lixue, a bunch of bitches, always going against her.
Shen Minghui's face was so black it could drip ink. He stared coldly at Shen Caixuan: "You're really seriously ill. You actually dared to spout nonsense in public and slander your own sister. Guards, force-feed her medicine!"
"Shen Minghui, you're being unfair..."
Two maids stepped forward, pinning down the screaming Shen Caixuan from both ends. Holding a pill, they tried to force it into her mouth. Shen Lixue's gaze turned cold; she was about to shoot a silver needle when Shen Caixuan, with a sudden burst of strength, broke free and kicked and punched them, yelling, "You traitors! You are my maids, yet you help outsiders against me..."
Seeing that another maid was coming to grab her, Shen Caixuan released the maid and quickly pulled up the sleeve of her right arm. On her fair and jade-like arm, a dark red cinnabar dot stood out.
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded. What on earth was going on?
Shen Lixue's gaze narrowed slightly. As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Shen Caixuan was already proud and arrogant. Being forced into marriage by her own family in this way, she had long lost her mind. Given her temper, she would definitely reveal everything.
Shen Caixuan looked at Shen Minghui's gloomy face, burst into laughter, her eyes flashing with madness: "See? I have the mark of virginity. It wasn't me who committed adultery with Lei Cong, it was my sister Yingxue, who was as beautiful as an angel but more wanton than a prostitute..."
“Shen Caixuan…”
"Shut up!" Shen Caixuan roared, her voice actually drowning out Shen Minghui's. Everyone was shocked, and Shen Minghui's face turned terrifyingly gloomy.
Shen Caixuan sneered, glaring at him fiercely, her beautiful eyes burning with anger: "Shen Minghui, all you can see in your eyes and heart is your daughter Yingxue. For her sake, your heart has been completely skewed. You instigated her to steal Sister Lixue's fiancé, taught her to give false testimony, and imprisoned the innocent Caiyun to take the blame for her. It was clearly her who shamelessly committed adultery with Lei Cong and was caught red-handed. Why should I take the blame for her?"
Everyone was speechless. Shen Minghui was really so biased? The entire hall was silent as everyone listened to what she was about to say.
Shen Minghui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Don't twist the facts. You are a concubine's daughter, and you are marrying the legitimate grandson of Grand Commandant Lei's family. You are marrying above your station. I have also given you a generous dowry. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"
"Who cares about your damn dowry!" Shen Caixuan, lacking Shen Lixue's good manners, cursed out in anger: "You want me to marry a womanizer who only thinks about playing with women all day long, and who has lost half his tongue and is now a cripple, is that for my own good? You want me to marry him as a concubine, a concubine who can be bought and sold, is that also for my own good?"
Everyone was surprised again. Such a grand wedding was for taking a concubine? It seems that Grand Commandant Lei doesn't care much about his granddaughter-in-law Shen Caixuan. He mainly wants to use this wedding to suppress the rumors circulating in the streets and alleys.
"Prime Minister Shen, have you been tricked or kicked in the head, or did you get your forehead caught in a door? Instead of choosing a highly talented scholar, you've chosen a philandering cripple!" Shen Caixuan stood in the center of the room, her anger blazing, her shrewish demeanor making people afraid to approach her.
Shen Minghui was speechless after being refuted. Shen Yingxue gritted her teeth in anger and glared at Shen Caixuan hatefully. If she had known that Shen Caixuan was so arrogant, she would have had the servants take turns raping her when they were in the Prime Minister's residence. Let's see what she can use to prove her innocence then.
All eyes turned to Lei Cong, scrutinizing him. Was it true that Young Master Lei's tongue was missing halfway? From the moment the wedding procession began until now, he hadn't uttered a single word, nor had he laughed as loudly as before…
"You used the three of us sisters as stepping stones for Shen Yingxue, sacrificing everything we had to make her happy. Why? Why? Just because of that stunningly beautiful face?" Shen Caixuan roared.
Shen Minghui looked at Shen Caixuan with furious rage, spitting out each word through gritted teeth: "Have you made enough trouble?" She actually dared to bring matters from her own household to the public without any restraint, completely disgracing the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"No!" Shen Caixuan roared, glaring hatefully at Shen Minghui: "To this day, no one helps me, no one believes me. I want justice for myself! Lei Cong's tongue was bitten off by Shen Yingxue. Why should I marry into the Grand Commandant's mansion to atone for her sins?"
"No matter how beautiful or wonderful your precious daughter's face is in your heart, Prince An doesn't care, and Prince Zhan has no interest. You've schemed and plotted against the three of us sisters, but you still can't marry off your precious daughter. Isn't that ironic?" Shen Caixuan sneered disdainfully, her eyes full of mockery.
"I've always treated you sisters equally!" Shen Minghui stared coldly at her, lying without batting an eye.
"Prime Minister Shen truly lives up to his title; even his lies are so slick. It's a pity the guests here will no longer believe your ugly face!" Shen Caixuan sneered again, a hint of bitterness in her mocking eyes.
"I know I'm a concubine's daughter, of lowly status. I don't ask for much of your care, I just beg you to stop being so biased. Your precious daughter has already lost her virginity, and you still want her to marry into a powerful family? What noble young master do you think would want a used piece of trash?"
"Shen Caixuan, don't make false accusations!" Shen Yingxuan's words mocked her as shameless and despicable, and Shen Yingxue finally couldn't help but roar out in anger.
"I'm spouting nonsense!" Shen Caixuan sneered disdainfully, her eyes full of mockery: "Do you dare to show your right arm and let everyone see your virginity mark?"
"What wouldn't I dare!" Shen Yingxue shouted, pulling up her sleeve to reveal the dark red cinnabar dot, which stood out clearly against her fair arm.
Everyone was shocked again. Shen Yingxue was still a virgin. Shen Caixuan's accusations were filled with intense anger and did not seem fake. What was going on?
Shen Caixuan was shocked and backed away repeatedly. How could this be? That night, Shen Yingxue and Lei Cong had sex more than once. Even if Lei Cong was incompetent, she couldn't possibly still be a virgin.
Shen Yingxue sneered triumphantly. Luckily, she had listened to her mother and made a fake virginity mark to stick on her arm. Not only could she clear her name to the world, but she could also send Shen Caixuan to the deepest hell: "Shen Caixuan, what else do you have to say?"
"This is impossible, impossible!" Shen Caixuan stared hatefully at the dark red cinnabar dot, muttering to herself, "Shen Yingxue can't possibly still be a virgin, absolutely impossible!"
Shen Lixue's cold eyes narrowed slightly. Shen Yingxue was no longer a virgin; there was something wrong with that virginity mark.
"I am still a virgin, and it is perfectly legitimate for me to have the mark of virginity. On the contrary, it is you, Shen Caixuan, who constantly frame and slander me. What is your intention?" Shen Yingxue, having received the courtesy, arrogantly pressed forward step by step.
Shen Caixuan shook her head repeatedly and stepped back, her brows furrowed, and whispered, "This is impossible, something must have gone wrong..."
Shen Yingxue's eyes turned cold. If she guessed the truth, she would be finished: "Sister Caixuan is seriously ill and often has mental breakdowns. She mistakenly believes that I have lost my virginity. I will not hold it against her!"
"Shen Yingxue, stop pretending! It was clearly you who committed adultery with Lei Cong!" Shen Caixuan was straightforward and guileless. She couldn't stand Shen Yingxue's provocation and glared at her, accusing her sharply.
Shen Yingxue sighed softly: "My sister is delirious and talking nonsense. What are you all standing there for? Quickly give her her medicine and help her back to the bridal chamber!"
"Yes!" The terrified old women snapped out of their daze and hurried toward Shen Caixuan.
Shen Caixuan was terrified and retreated repeatedly. Although she was not cunning, she was not stupid. She had revealed all of Shen Minghui's affairs, and the Grand Commandant's Mansion was also implicated. They all hated her. As long as she was out of everyone's sight, she would definitely be severely punished, unable to live or die.
With a cold, angry gaze sweeping over Shen Minghui, Shen Yingxue, Lei Shi, and the others, Shen Caixuan gave a bitter smile, her slender body crashing into the high table. Her angry scream pierced the clouds and echoed through the sky: "I'd rather die than enter the bridal chamber!"
"Bang!" Shen Caiyun's head slammed against the edge of the table, blood splattering everywhere, staining the table and the floor. The snow-white wall was instantly stained red, and streaks of blood flowed down the white wall, soaking the exquisite red "double happiness" character.
Shen Caiyun's slender body collapsed softly to the ground, her fate unknown.
Everyone was shocked, shocked, and shocked again. On this joyous day, in this festive wedding hall, the bride was killed by a car accident. The happy occasion turned into a tragedy. This wedding at the Grand Commandant's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion was truly shocking.
