Chapter 199 Miss Su San's Fame (Part )

As she spoke, Chen Shiya directed her resentful gaze towards Su Liuyue.

Su Liuyue was so angry that she almost laughed. They were the ones who were unreasonable and caused trouble first, but now it was all her fault.

He also brought Miss Shen San in.

She looked at Chen Shiya and said coldly, "Miss Shen San and I were just suggesting that if Prince Chen really had any grievances, he should not resort to lynching, but should go to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case and follow the formal procedures. Which of these words are wrong?"

Chen Shiya was choked for a moment.

At this time, Gu Jijiu laughed again, stroked his beard, and said solemnly, "What Miss Su San and Miss Shen San said is absolutely correct. If those who abide by the law are strong, the country will be strong. If those who abide by the law are weak, the country will be weak. If everyone in the world can resort to lynching for a small matter, what kind of chaos will this world be in?
As the Prince Chen and Princess Zhenning, you should keep this in mind."

Chen Shiya was powerless to refute what they said, but she was unwilling to accept it. She bit her lip and looked at Zhou Yunke pleadingly, "Cousin, I...I admit that Youyu and I were wrong this time, but it was just an unintentional mistake. You are our cousin, you can't help these outsiders bully us like this!"

Zhou Yunke didn't have a single smile on his face. His phoenix eyes looked at her without any warmth. He suddenly sneered and said, "It is precisely because I am your cousin that I have the qualifications to let Feng Yang take action just now.

If you still don't understand how wrong you were just now, I don't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your parents.

Before that, Feng Yang! "

Feng Yang immediately responded, "Yes!"

"Take Prince Chen back to Jingzhao Prefecture and punish him for defamation."

This time, even Feng Yang was a little surprised.

The crime of defamation, also known as "spreading evil words to confuse the public", can be a minor or major crime. If the circumstances are not serious, it will usually be dealt with by a fine and a few days in prison. If the circumstances are serious or shake the foundation of the country, even nine generations of the family may be implicated!
Chen Youyu and Chen Shiya looked at Zhou Yunke in disbelief. Chen Youyu even went to crawl towards Zhou Yunke with a pale face, "Cousin, I..."

However, Feng Yang reacted quickly. He immediately called a few guards forward, and without saying a word, he lifted up Chen Youyu. He then skillfully took out a piece of cloth, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Chen Shiya was so frightened that her face turned pale.

How could she not see that her cousin was serious?

Although my cousin had ignored them before, he had never treated them so excessively!

All this... is it because they provoked Su Liuyue?
Su Liuyue watched Chen Youyu being taken away quickly, then she retracted her gaze and looked at the man beside her, "Why are you back again?"

"Not long after I left, Fengqi caught up with me and said something happened to you."

As Zhou Yunke spoke, he looked at several people around him who recognized his reserved look, and said with a faint smile: "Now that we are outside, I don't want to be too high-profile, so everyone can be casual.

Just now, my cousin made some rude remarks. I will not be partial to him in this matter and will punish him severely according to the law."

Although the onlookers all guessed that Zhou Yunke had an unusual identity, few could guess that he was the crown prince of the current dynasty.

Most of those who stood up just now were officials from the previous dynasty. After hearing Zhou Yunke's words, they were all moved to some extent.

To be honest, since the founding of Daqing, the relationship between the dignitaries of the previous dynasty and the dignitaries of the new dynasty has been a little subtle. After all, the dignitaries of the previous dynasty had once been loyal to the court of the previous dynasty. No matter how loyal they appear to be to the court of the new dynasty now, they will always feel a little uneasy in their hearts and will act more cautiously.

Whether in terms of arrogance or momentum, the dignitaries of the new dynasty far surpassed them, and the emperor was more willing to make use of the ministers who had followed him to conquer the world from the beginning. As a result, although the dignitaries of the new dynasty did not say it, they more or less looked down on these dignitaries of the previous dynasty in their hearts.

One of the purposes of the Lotus Appreciation Banquet held by Princess Changxi was to ease the subtle contradiction between the two groups. However, no one had ever expressed his disdain for the dignitaries of the previous dynasty as directly as Prince Chen had just done. These words were extremely harsh to the dignitaries of the previous dynasty who were already holding back their anger.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Yunke's attitude, not to mention the others, even Gu Jijiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He took a step forward and bowed deeply to Zhou Yunke, saying, "We are lucky to have such a wise and caring prince."

Originally, a few people still had some grudges in their hearts, but after seeing what Gu Jijiu said, they didn't know what to say.

As he spoke, Gu Jijiu looked at Su Liuyue and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I was really surprised for a long time when I heard that Your Highness was going to marry Doctor Su's daughter. Later, I heard that Doctor Su's daughter actually had an extraordinary talent for solving cases. It was even more strange that I had never heard of Miss Su San's name. I'm afraid that Miss Su San was hiding her talent before.

However, if Miss Su San had a good reputation, I am afraid that suitors would have already stepped through the Su family's doorstep."

Su Liuyue looked at Gu Jijiu and felt a little moved.

On the surface, he was talking about her marriage to Zhou Yunke, but in fact he pointed out everywhere that she was also from a family of officials in the previous dynasty.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the people around him relaxed, and some even came forward to congratulate Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke.

Zhou Yunke secretly held Su Liuyue's hand and accepted their blessings one by one with a smile. Finally, in order to avoid too much impact, he pulled Su Liuyue directly into his carriage.

After Su Liuyue sat firmly in the carriage, she couldn't help but say, "You are worthy of being the ancient chief priest. You calmed everyone's hearts with just a few words."

Zhou Yunke was too lazy to talk about the people and things outside. He said with a gloomy face: "This time, I have caused you trouble. Don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen again."

Su Liuyue glanced at him.

Although he had been acting very relaxed just now, Su Liuyue still keenly noticed the gloom deep in his eyes.

He seemed to have no feelings for his mother's family, and even felt a little disgusted with them.

She recalled the gossip she had heard before, saying that the Chen family was originally just a wealthy merchant in the north, and because the Zhou family became a royal family, they got rid of their merchant status and now even had a title.

As for Zhou Xiaokun, the Protector-General of Beiting at that time, the reason he married the daughter of a merchant was probably not because of love, but... for the money of the Chen family.

Although Su Liuyue didn't know what happened between Zhou Yunke and the Chen family, after thinking about it, she said, "Okay, don't worry, they didn't get any advantage from me."

Seeing Zhou Yunke looking over, she raised her eyebrows in a rather arrogant manner, "With your cousins' intelligence, they can only bully honest people."

She was clearly saying bad things about his cousins, but Zhou Yunke didn't mind at all. Instead, he couldn't help but hold her hand tightly and laughed softly.

Su Liuyue took Zhou Yunke's carriage just as a temporary measure, hoping to temporarily avoid the officials and their families who surrounded them.

After hanging out with Zhou Yunke for a while, she asked Zhou Yunke to take her back to Man Yifang.

She originally thought that those people had left, but who would have thought that as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Shen Fu standing by the gate of Manyifang with a sullen face, and Wei Wuyan standing next to Shen Fu with a helpless look on his face, turning to look at her from time to time as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Su Liuyue paused, and was just hesitating whether to go over when Shen Fu spotted her. Her face suddenly lit up as if a spring breeze had passed by, and she smiled brightly and shyly. She quickly ran up to her and said nervously, "Miss Su San, you...you're back. I was worried that you wouldn't come back today."

Su Liuyue looked at her beautiful red cheeks, blinked, and finally realized that the girl was coming for her, and said, "Miss Shen San, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day everyone!

I'm still a bit busy today, so the update I owed yesterday will have to be postponed to tomorrow.
