Shengjing Noble

Chapter 383: Simply Disgusting

The emperor's eyes flashed with doubt, and he ordered: "Raise your head!"

The woman trembled as she hugged her clothes tightly to her chest and buried her head deeper in fear.

The queen at the side saw this and sneered, "How could you not have the shame to do such a shameless thing just now? Now that the emperor is asking you a question, you pretend to be pitiful and mean. It's disgusting!"

Su Lanxin took the opportunity to step forward to comfort him, showing that she was gentle and sensible.

“Don’t be angry, Queen. Su Lanyin is an excellent actress. She always pretended to be pitiful and weak in the Su family and even falsely accused me of bullying her. Fortunately, my father was never deceived by her. Otherwise, I don’t know how much injustice I would have suffered. Woo woo woo…”

As she was talking, she started to cry, looking so aggrieved that I wonder if she thought she was the one being humiliated today.

Hearing this, Fu Mingheng sighed and said, "Ah, Lan Xin has had such a hard time having such a concubine sister."

Fu Mingli's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he stepped forward and said, "Father, this woman has been cunning and scheming to seduce me into making such a shameless mistake. But today is my brother's birthday party after all. If it gets out, it will really damage the reputation of the royal family. It's better for me to compromise..."

Before he could finish his words, the emperor angrily threw all the teacups on the table beside him, hitting him on the forehead.

Inside the hall, the air froze instantly, and it became extremely quiet all of a sudden.

A scar was left on Fu Mingli's forehead, with blood oozing down. Fear flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to wipe it, let alone cry out in pain. He just knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Father, Father..."

The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at him and cursed, "How could I give birth to a bastard like you who shirks responsibility? You actually blamed this woman for everything, saying that you were seduced by her. What about you? If you didn't mean to do it, could she force you?"

"What? Do you have no hands or feet? You can't push people away? Since you did it, then you are also wrong. And you said it to me so righteously. You have taken all the advantages, but you still compromise. What a bastard!"

Fu Mingli was trembling and couldn't utter a word. The people around him didn't dare to speak easily. Only the woman on the ground was still sobbing softly.

The queen swallowed her saliva, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter cannot be blamed entirely on Mingli..."

"Shut up!" the emperor roared, scolding, "This child has grown up and still has accomplished nothing. He only knows how to indulge in women all day long. It's all because of you who indulged him. And you're not even trying to plead for him here!"

"I know I was wrong."

The queen looked at the others and admitted her mistake helplessly, but she was very dissatisfied in her heart.

The emperor just saw that there was an outsider and took advantage of Fu Mingli's mistake to make trouble for her.

Normally, the Wei family was the dominant family, and as the queen, she acted prudently, so the emperor could never find any fault with her.

Today I'm going to use this as an excuse to attack her.

To put it bluntly, this was just a trivial matter and was not enough to make the emperor so angry.

The queen was angry and secretly glared at the woman kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of viciousness.

Fu Mingheng was originally under house arrest, and it was the Queen and the Wei family who advocated holding this birthday banquet. If he interceded at this time, the Emperor would inevitably scold him severely.

Thinking of this, he looked at Su Lanxin standing beside him, hoping to let her stand up for him. Even if she was scolded, she deserved it.

It was she who planned this drama.

Receiving the prince's gaze, Su Lanxin was extremely flustered, but she didn't dare not go up, so she had to force herself to remain calm.

"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, we still have to resolve it. After all, my sister was conferred the title of county lady by you. I can't explain to the Lu family if she loses her innocence in such an unclear way."

At this moment, she spoke from the perspective of a sister.

The emperor had seen through their thoughts and could not help but smile coldly: "Okay, then tell me, how should I explain it?"

Su Lanxin's eyes flashed, and she immediately said, "Why not let my sister marry the Fifth Prince? Of course, I know that she comes from a merchant family and is of low status, so she is not worthy of the prince. But if the emperor grants the marriage, my sister will definitely bring a generous dowry. This way, her reputation will be preserved, and the Fifth Prince will not lose out."

The way he said this sounded as if his royal family was coveting the Lu family's dowry.

The emperor endured it, and looked at her with eyes as if he wanted to eat her.

Su Lanxin didn't know what she said wrong. She was only thinking about destroying Su Lanyin as soon as possible and didn't think much about it.

Looking at their appearances one by one, the emperor suddenly felt very sad, and his anger turned him into speechless for a moment.

Talking to this group of people about the truth is like talking to a cow.

He sighed and asked the woman on the ground, "Are you willing to marry the Fifth Prince?"

The woman was stunned, stopped crying, and nodded quickly.

Seeing that she was willing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Fu Mingli even forgot about the wound on his forehead and became proud again.

"Father, if she didn't want to marry me, why would she seduce me..."

He was halfway through his words when he received a warning look from the emperor. He suddenly became speechless and shut up obediently.

The emperor sighed and could not help but say, "What an injustice! Well, since that is the case, I will grant you a marriage..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile triumphantly on their faces.

At the critical moment, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open and two people rushed in.

Everyone looked up and was stunned, but when they saw Su Lanyin clearly, their eyes suddenly widened.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor also looked puzzled. He looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, then at Su Lanyin. Suddenly he realized what was going on and his expression changed from anger to joy.

He was very optimistic about Su Lanyin, so how could he bear to let her marry Fu Mingli, a loser.

"You...how did you get in from outside?" He couldn't help but be curious.

"Your Majesty, I have been looking for you everywhere. I heard that you came here to appreciate the flowers, so I came to find you."

She walked forward with a smile on her face, full of liveliness and cheerfulness, and there was no sign of any problem.

The queen's eyes went dark and she stepped back. Fortunately, the nanny next to her reached out to support her and she managed to stand steadily.

"Su Lanyin, aren't you here? What's going on?"

She blurted out subconsciously.

Su Lanxin was also surprised: "Then... who is she?"

Everyone looked at the woman kneeling on the ground. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was disheveled, covering her face.

Fu Mingli was extremely anxious. He stood up, rushed over and lifted her hair up, revealing a pitiful little face.

"W-Wang Ye..."

That person was none other than the dancer, Lan Yinyin, who had a secret relationship with Fu Mingli.

Her eyes were red from crying and her cheeks were swollen. She was looking at her with tears streaming down her face.

"Uh……"

She pointed to her throat and shook her head, and everyone realized that she was unable to speak.

Su Lanyin thought that she had pressed the mute point on her in a panic before leaving, but considering the force she had used, the point should have untied itself.

Sure enough, the next moment Lan Yinyin suddenly made a sound.
