Chapter 578 The Prince Arrived Just in Time?
The incident happened so suddenly that Shen Ningning was unable to recover for a while.
The people around her were already talking about it——
"I didn't expect that Madam Meng was usually very strict, but her own son did such a ridiculous thing."
"That's right, he was about to get engaged to the princess, but he was still messing around outside. It's a shame."
"I can't believe it. Second Young Master Lu is usually an honest person. How could he be like this?"
Lu Shaoyuan was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick: "I didn't do anything! I don't even know how this woman appeared in my room!"
After that, he grabbed Shen Ningning's wrist: "Ningning, I really haven't done anything to let you down!"
Shen Ningning came back to her senses at this time. She pursed her red lips: "I believe you."
Then, she turned around and asked the shopkeeper and the waiter to work together to ask all the onlookers to leave.
The girl then pushed Lu Shaoyuan back into the room and closed the door.
Lu Shaoyuan was stunned: "I don't want to be in the same room with her, I feel sick! I was framed, it must be Long Ye's group!"
What his mother said made sense. Jiang Shanglong was a bandit after all, and they might have had bad intentions for a long time.
Shen Ningning patted the back of his hand soothingly: "Don't worry, go put on your clothes first, you can't just leave like this, then even if you have a reason, you won't be able to explain it clearly, at least you have to ask clearly."
If you leave, it will really destroy all the evidence and your reputation will never be restored.
The woman who was kneeling beside the bed and crying suddenly stopped crying when she heard Shen Ningning's words, and then began to sob softly again.
Lu Shaoyuan was already anxious and at a loss. He followed Shen Ningning's advice and went behind the screen to change his clothes.
Shen Ningning walked to the woman with indifferent steps. The girl pulled the quilt off the bed and changed it on the woman's shoulders.
"No matter what, a woman's innocence is very important, so why don't you tell me in detail what happened, who are you, and why are you here?"
The woman wiped her tears and knelt in front of Shen Ningning and said: "I am the wine maid brought by the head of Lord Long. Last night, the second young master Lu had a meal with our Lord Long and got drunk. The shopkeepers asked me to help the second young master to rest in the room and change his clean clothes, but, but..."
Speaking of this, she cried even more violently: "But the second young master actually pushed me to the couch, and shouted the name of Her Royal Highness Princess, and then began to tear my clothes wantonly. I struggled fiercely and refused to obey, but in the end I was slapped by the second young master and fainted. When I woke up, it was like this. Woo, Your Royal Highness Princess, you must make a decision for me!"
The woman raised her face, and Shen Ningning did see that her left face was swollen and there was an obvious slap mark.
Looking at her body exposed under the quilt, it was covered with traces of pleasure, and the bed was a mess.
Lu Shaoyuan had already changed his clothes. He rushed out from behind the screen when he heard the woman's words.
"You lied!" His eyes were bloodshot and red, and the veins on his neck were bulging. If Shen Ningning hadn't stopped him immediately, he would have kicked the woman down.
Lu Shaoyuan pointed at the woman and said, "I was drunk yesterday and unconscious. How could I force you to hold you down! Where is Long Ye? Call Long Ye, he can prove it!"
Although he was drunk and couldn't remember what happened later, Lu Shaoyuan remembered that Jiang Shanglong had to leave early because of an emergency. At that time, although he was drunk, he was still conscious.
Later, he drank too much with the group of shopkeepers.
Shen Ningning pursed her lips and looked at the trembling and crying woman.
"What's your name? You haven't told me yet."
】
"My name is Shuyan."
Shen Ningning seemed to see something, bent down and took her hand, looked back and forth at her fingertips and palms, and slowly frowned.
A trace of panic flashed in Shuyan's eyes.
"Shuyan, have you been following Jiang Shanglong and other shopkeepers as a maid?"
"Yes, my main responsibility is to serve the washing and dressing."
As she said, she choked up and raised her head: "Princess, your questions, what does it have to do with the destruction of my innocence? I don't ask for wealth and glory, I just ask the princess to make the decision and take me into the room of Mr. Lu, even if I am a concubine of low status, it is better than losing my innocence. Otherwise, how can I get married? Woo woo..."
"You still want to be my concubine? Don't even think about it! It's obviously you and Jiang Shanglong who are plotting to harm me!" Lu Shaoyuan was furious.
Shen Ningning raised her hand to stop him from speaking.
The girl asked calmly: "Actually, I have a few doubts. You have to answer them properly. First, you said that you have always been doing the work of serving and washing, but your palms are delicate and tender, without the calluses of ordinary servants."
Shu Yan's body stiffened.
"That's because, I...I am usually only responsible for serving tea and water. The shopkeepers are kind and don't let me do dirty work."
Shen Ningning nodded slowly: "Really? But you said you were knocked unconscious, how can you be sure that you were really defiled? I think it's better to find a body examiner to take a look."
Shu Yan suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her hesitantly: "Your Highness, you might as well let me die!"
"Being examined by a body examiner is to give you justice. Why do you think it's an insult? I heard that some body examiners are experienced. They only need to take a look to know when a woman lost her virginity, and can even tell the year and month accurately. Coincidentally, there is such a powerful old lady in Xiangyun Village."
Lu Shaoyuan agreed immediately: "Okay! Ningning, I'll send someone to get the old lady over here. Let the body examiner tell me whether I have insulted you or not!"
Shu Yan suddenly cried out: "Since the second young master doesn't want me, and the princess doesn't want me, I can only die!"
As she spoke, she stood up and flew forward. Shen Ningning was prepared and kicked the bench in front of her.
The chair hit her directly, causing Shu Yan to fall to the ground.
"She wants to commit suicide, Lu Shaoyuan, hold her down!"
If she is dead, it will be difficult to investigate.
However, as soon as Lu Shaoyuan walked over, he saw Shu Yan pull out the dagger that he had prepared long ago and slowly retreated to the window.
Lu Shaoyuan frowned: "What do you want to do!"
Shu Yan stared at Shen Ningning, then took off the quilt that Shen Ningning had just handed to her.
Shu Yan spoke, her voice hoarse: "Princess, what I need is not a quilt."
After she finished speaking, she saw a group of people running towards her from the corner of her eye. She immediately stabbed the dagger into her heart, and then fell down with her head raised.
Lu Shaoyuan was shocked and immediately tried to pull her.
However, he didn't catch anything. Shu Yan fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and the screams of the people on the street rang out one after another.
Shen Ningning immediately rushed over and looked out of the window.
But she saw Mo Lingwei with a group of guards standing downstairs, and Shu Yan happened to die in front of his horse's hoof. The dying hand slowly stretched out, as if trying to grab the horse's hoof, but it was in vain, and she died with her eyes open.
Mo Lingwei raised his head and met Shen Ningning's beautiful eyes of surprise.
