Minister Family's Black Belly Woman Chapter 36 Who Would Believe What You Said!

Shen Ninghua smiled coldly: Shen Linghan did take this place as the Shen family. Did she think she could be bossy to everyone here?

Hearing this, Baili Jinchuan's expression immediately changed. In the beginning, after listening to Shen Linghan's words, he did have some doubts in his heart. Now, they immediately dissipated. Even if Shen Ninghua really wanted to murder the emperor's son, she would not let such a stupid person like Shen Linghan catch her red-handed. "Second Miss Shen, it's not up to you to decide whether to arrest anybody."

Actually, just as she uttered those words, Shen Linghan had realized that she was too hasty. Now that she heard the Second Prince's words, she hurriedly tried to make up. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I heard that my eldest sister murdered you and the Fifth Prince. I was so angry that I spoke without thinking."

Her face was pale as if she was greatly frightened. As she spoke, her eyes were faintly filled with tears, and she slightly frowned, which made her look so fragile and sad that no one could bear to blame her anymore.

Sure enough, Baili Jinchuan nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. His att.i.tude was also a little softer than before.

Shen Ninghua sneered in her heart. In her previous life, this Shen Linghan was able to see-saw between Baili Jinze and the Crown Prince Baili Jinyi with ease. With her innocent appearance, it was only natural for others to treat her well. If others treated her badly, it would be unforgivable. Didn't she die miserably because she didn't hand over the throne of empress to Shen Linghan?

The governor looked at the two princes' expressions and felt even more resentful of Shen Linghan. Originally, he could have taken credit for saving the princes, but if he was involved in the so-called murder case, his whole family's lives would be at risk.

"Second Prince, you see… this Second Miss Shen…"

Baili Jinchuan looked at pale-faced Baili Jinze and knew that things shouldn't go too far. Otherwise, he would probably have a reputation for being unkind to his younger brother.

"Doctor Chen, why don't you diagnose my Fifth Brother first? Otherwise, it would be a real plot to kill the prince."

Shen Linghan suddenly raised her head and looked at Baili Jinchuan in disbelief, "Your Highness, how can you say those words?"

"Younger sister, is there anything more important than the Fifth Prince's health? You have kept saying that you are worried about the two princes. Then why are you stopping the doctor from diagnosing the Fifth Prince?" Shen Ninghua walked close to Baili Jinze and handed over the clothes that Qing Que bought from the nearby store. "Your Highness, please make do with this. I ordered my maid to buy the clothes. They are clean. Let the soldiers pull up a curtain and you can change the clothes first."

Baili Jinze raised his head and revealed a pale and feeble smile, "Thank you." The moment Shen Ninghua approached him, he felt the pain in his body eased and his mood immediately relaxed a little.

Shen Linghan's eyes burned with jealousy. She stepped forward to block Shen Ninghua's way, "Sister, it's better not to get close to the two princes at this time."

"Get lost!" Baili Jinze uttered a m.u.f.fled sound and suddenly shouted coldly.

Shen Linghan turned around blankly, and met with his disgusted gaze. The moment Shen Ninghua left; the heartbreaking pain once again swept Baili Jinze's entire body. The pain was even more intense than before, causing him to immediately push Shen Linghan away.

"Doctor Chen, please come over and check on me. My entire body is in unbearable pain."

Chen Yun frowned and looked at Shen Linghan, "Second Miss Shen, you are the daughter of the Prime Minister. You should be able to distinguish what is important and urgent, right? You are a grown-up woman, so you shouldn't approach a man outside your family. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined. Second Prince, please send Second Miss Shen to somewhere else. I'm afraid I can't feel the pulse of the Fifth Prince."

After being humiliated like this, how could Shen Linghan tolerate it? Immediately, she asked loudly, "Why? Shen Ninghua, what kind of trick did you use to get so many people to help you, you s.l.u.t!"

Shen Linghan's shouting caused Baili Jinze's headache to intensify He coldly ordered the soldiers beside him, "Pull her away and block her mouth!"

The soldiers were stunned. After all, Shen Linghan was the Prime Minister's daughter. If they offended Shen Linghan today, Shen Linghan would definitely avenge them in the future.

Seeing the two soldiers hesitating, Baili Jinze was furious, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up? Are you refusing to take orders from me?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Although the emperor didn't like Baili Jinze, he was still the emperor's son.

"Hmm…you let go of me, you…" The two soldiers covered Shen Linghan's mouth and pulled her aside. She struggled and glared at Shen Ninghua with a dagger-like look in her eyes.

Shen Ninghua stood on the side and watched coldly. She had deliberately revealed a flaw in her action by Huanhua Stream. If Shen Linghan had arranged for someone to monitor her, Shen Linghan would definitely have discovered such an obvious loophole. However, it would be another story whether or not anyone would believe such a big loophole.

It was normal to say that a prince wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, but it was insane to a.s.sume that a beggar wanted to subvert the imperial court. She was a little girl, and she had only met the two princes a few times. Why would she risk the might of the world to murder them? Even if that was true, no one would believe it, and then the charge would be faked!

She wanted to use the facts to set up Shen Linghan and see how Shen Linghan would react!

Chen Yun felt Baili Jinze's pulse and frowned. "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with your body. Your pulse condition is normal."

"But the pain in my body is like a knife cut. Doctor Chen, can you feel my pulse again?"

From Baili Jinze's appearance, Doctor Chen could tell at a glance that he was enduring great pain, but unfortunately, his pulse was normal and there was no poisoning or other symptoms at all. This kind of situation was never unheard of. "Fifth Prince, did you touch anything?"

"It was too crowded. I don't know what I touched."

"Please go back to the Imperial Palace first. I'll consult with all the doctors from the Imperial Health Inst.i.tute and then feel Your Highness's pulse again."

Baili Jinze was very worried. If Chen Yun couldn't find the problem and needed to consult the entire Imperial Health Inst.i.tute, the chances of him being cured were practically zero. "When Shen Linghan approached me, the pain immediately intensified a lot."

Chen Yun frowned and looked at Shen Linghan. When he thought of what she said earlier, his expression immediately changed. "Your Highness, go back to the Palace first. I believe the emperor will thoroughly investigate this matter."

Shen Linghan was Shen Dong's daughter, so she naturally couldn't be convicted so easily.

Baili Jinze looked at Shen Linghan with hatred and said, "Alright, let's go back first."

The Second Prince turned around and looked at the Governor of the Capital Guards. "Does Lord Sun know what to do about this?"

"Yes, yes, I know."

"Well, that's good. You can deal with the situation without asking for my instructions." Baili Jinchuan turned to Shen Ninghua and said, "Miss, please tell Prime Minister Shen that I invited Second Miss Shen into the Palace."

Shen Ninghua nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."

Baili Jinchuan took a deep look at her and said, "Do you have anything to say?"

Shen Ninghua chuckled. "Nothing. You just said that you like fis.h.i.+ng. I heard that there are new fis.h.i.+ng lines in the Hidden Treasure House. They are very long. If you are interested, you can have a try." Only by extending the fis.h.i.+ng line could one catch bigger fishes. If the angler pulled the rod in a hurry, the fish might fall off the hook. At this point, her words were very explicit. Whether he could benefit from the incident or not depended on himself.

"Thank you, Miss Shen."

After everyone had left, the Governor of the Capital Guards wiped the cold sweat off his head and said, "Today is truly a dangerous day. I have to make arrangements for my wife and children first. I'm afraid that before tomorrow arrives, I will lose my head."

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "You worry too much. You helped maintain order and tried your best to find out why there had been such chaos. You even protected the Second Prince and Fifth Prince. What are you guilty of?"

After Shen Ninghua finished speaking, she found that the Governor of the Capital Guards was absent-minded and lost in his thoughts. So she no longer waited for him to react and left with Qing Que and Hong Ling.

"This show today is really big." Chu Junyi followed, swaying the folding fan in his hand, and spoke in a leisurely tone.

Shen Ninghua glanced at him and said, "Didn't you enjoy it too?"

Chu Junyi said casually, "Of course, I like to watch the royal family acting the most."

"How dare you." Shen Ninghua's eyes darkened. Ordinary people would try their best to avoid getting involved in the matters of the royal family, but he enjoyed them. This was more than just a matter of boldness.

"Haha," Chu Junyi laughed. "Likewise, likewise. Didn't Miss Shen enjoy it too?"

Shen Ninghua smiled without saying a word.

Chu Junyi didn't mind either. "It seems that you and Lord Sun are some kind of friends?"

Shen Ninghua turned to look at him. "Yes, kind of."

"Your reputation was spread far and wide. Even some officials have heard of your n.o.ble character and respected you." Chu Junyi said seriously.

Shen Ninghua almost laughed out loud. Her reputation was spread far and wide, and her character was n.o.ble? He was so good at lying through his teeth. "I did him a favor. He was just repaying me."

Chu Junyi's heart leaped. Shen Ninghua use to be n.o.body in the Shen family. She had always been ordinary. The only exception was her recuperation in the country villa for half a year. He had investigated her background for a long time but found nothing. It looked like she must have had a fortuitous encounter.

"Alright. Since Miss Shen doesn't like owing others, I'll accept your favor today. I'll let my people escort you back to the Shen Mansion and come to express my grat.i.tude another day." After instructing his men to escort Shen Ninghua, Chu Junyi turned around, got on his horse and quickly left. Although he did not know how she knew that he wanted to get closer to the royal family, today's incident had undoubtedly given him a chance. He had to grasp this chance and make some preparations.

Shen Ninghua got into the carriage. Suddenly, Shen Xuanhua's hesitant voice came from outside the window.

"Eldest sister, you…"

"Do you have any questions?" She needed to let Madam Su know something. Otherwise, Madam Su would not believe that she had the ability to protect Shen Xuanhua.

Shen Xuanhua shook his head. After a moment of silence, he said, "Eldest sister, don't get too close to Chu Junyi in the future. I always feel that there is something wrong with the way he looks at you."

Shen Ninghua was stunned. She didn't expect that he would say this. Immediately, she felt a burst of amus.e.m.e.nt. "Alright, I know."

Shen Xuanhua immediately became happy. "That's good. Hurry up and go back. It's time for Eldest uncle and aunt to know the news."

At this moment, the Shen family was already in chaos…
