Chapter 554: If You Meet a Fence-Sitter, Then Cut the Grass
Since Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong had received the hint from Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu's shaking head, he naturally dared not disobey.
He did not say anything to stop Leng Xian and his companions from shamelessly harassing Leng Rongyue;
He did not urge the bailiffs in the court to take the prisoner away as soon as possible.
Just sit there and watch quietly.
At the same time, Zheng Tong was secretly guessing the real intention of Prince Yu shaking his head just now.
His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Leng Rongyue are now engaged couple thanks to the Emperor's imperial decree granting their marriage.
Perhaps it was precisely because Leng Rongyue and His Royal Highness Prince Yu were engaged that the Emperor, the Empress, and His Royal Highness Prince Yu came to Shuntian Prefecture in plain clothes today;
Only then would he sit behind the screen and patiently watch the entire interrogation process.
Does this mean that the Emperor, the Empress, and Prince Yu all attach great importance to this case?
Or maybe they also attach great importance to Leng Rongyue, their future daughter-in-law?
If this is true, then Leng Rongyue should be the Princess of Yu for sure.
But... just now, when Leng Rongyue was being harassed by Leng Xian, Old Yin, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, His Royal Highness Prince Yu shook his head at him...
His Royal Highness Prince Yu shook his head...
Thinking of this, Prefect Zheng Tong became a little uncertain again.
Could it be that after the Emperor issued the imperial decree granting the marriage, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion sued the Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion, something the royal family had not expected?
Especially suddenly, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion brought up the murder and robbery incident of the Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion many years ago, which made the Emperor, the Empress, and His Royal Highness Prince Yu have other ideas about the marriage...
Or simply put, the royal family wanted to break off the engagement.
Therefore, when Leng Xian, Old Yin, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang used family ties to threaten Leng Rongyue and shamelessly harassed her, His Royal Highness Prince Yu shook his head to signal him not to stop them.
If...if Leng Rongyue's reputation is damaged because of what happened today...
Then does this royal marriage still count?
Is there still a possibility for her engagement with His Royal Highness Prince Yu to exist?
The more Zheng Tong thought about it, the more confused he became!
I can only say that Zheng Tong has a very rich imagination!
I'm overcomplicating things.
The imperial decree granting marriage is the imperial decree granting marriage;
An engagement is an engagement.
How can you treat it as a joke and cancel the engagement just like that?
Besides, Leng Rongyue was the victim, so what was wrong with her avenging her mother?
If the royal family really wanted to break off the engagement, then Leng Xian had already confessed everything in the Golden Palace this morning. All the truth was in Leng Xian's confession.
If the royal family wanted to cancel the engagement, Leng Xian's confession would be enough reason. Was it necessary for the emperor to bring his wife, son, and the whole family of three to come incognito to his small Shuntianfu government office to continue the trial?
The emperor's family would not be so bored as to treat his Shuntian government office as a theater.
The idea that just popped up was silently suppressed by the prefect Zheng Tong.
I think things never have only one side;
Maybe... there are still things I don’t know.
Zheng Tong stole a glance at His Royal Highness Prince Yu again...
His Royal Highness Prince Yu, who had just been sitting behind the screen, was now standing outside the screen!
Although there was no obvious change in his expression, his eyes were staring at the hall without blinking...
Or rather... looking at Leng Rongyue standing in the lobby.
Without the screen between us, we can see the situation in the lobby more clearly.
Does this also mean that His Royal Highness Prince Yu's attention to this matter is far beyond my imagination?
Or maybe, the degree to which His Royal Highness Prince Yu values his fiancée Leng Rongyue... is far beyond his imagination?
Zheng Tong quietly withdrew his gaze and turned his eyes back to the lobby.
At the same time, I thought that I should be careful and pay attention to the class...
No matter what, we cannot allow Miss Leng, who lost her mother at a young age and suffered untold hardships in the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion, to be bullied by these scums in the lobby of her own Shuntian Mansion!
as predicted.
The phenomenon that Prefect Zheng Tong had just thought of had indeed already occurred in the lobby.
It really proves the saying: human hearts are hard to predict.
There is also a saying: People have two pieces of skin, so whatever they say is reasonable.
At this time, among the crowd standing in the hall, someone really said this;
There are indeed people who are always swaying like fence-sitters...
"Ugh!
Look at them, Leng Xian, old Yin, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang...
Speaking of what they did...it was really abominable!
He deserves to be killed! He deserves to be cut into pieces! He deserves to be exiled!
But…but after all, they are also Miss Leng’s biological father and grandmother;
He is also Miss Leng’s half-brother and half-sister!
Seeing them crying and begging so pitifully now...
As an outsider watching this... I feel a little sorry for it...
But look at that Miss Leng...
That Miss Leng is really patient.
No matter how her biological father, her own grandmother, and her half brothers and half sisters begged, she just stood there motionless and said nothing!
Yes, Miss Leng lost her mother at a young age because of these people, and was abused and bullied by them for so many years...
But now... the prefect has sentenced and punished, and now it is clear that... the one sentenced to death will not survive;
Those who should be exiled...will be escorted out of the capital soon.
They say killing is not the right path!
Ugh!
No matter how much Miss Leng hated and resented...
Nor can...nor can..."
"Can't do anything?"
The person next to him didn't like what he heard.
