Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 108 Evidence

Yang Lijun was stunned. Evidence?

Where did she get the evidence for this?

Shen Li glanced at her calmly, "Why, no evidence? You have no evidence, but I have plenty of evidence!"

Yang Lijun puffed out her chest, not wanting to lose her momentum no matter what. "What evidence do you have?"

"You have evidence to destroy my reputation!"

Shen Li raised her eyes and swept across the faces of everyone in the hall with a slightly scrutinizing look.

Until they all lowered their heads guiltily and avoided her gaze.

She just raised her voice and said, "Today, everyone present is a witness. If Jingzhao Prefecture sends someone to invite you, please come out to testify for Shen Li for the sake of Duke Jingguo!"

Of course, if you want to slander her behind her back, you have to think carefully about whether you have the ability to go against the powerful Shen Beiqi.

Amidst the shrinking gazes, Shen Li met Han Yunning's calm gaze.

When he saw her looking at him, he even smiled and nodded slightly at her.

Shen Li's eyes were cold, and he stared at her quietly for a moment.

She always had a hunch that Yang Lijun was just a small soldier charging into the front.

The person who really wanted to ruin her reputation was this seemingly calm, decent and generous Miss Han.

But she couldn't care less about anything now, so she immediately grabbed Yang Lijun's hand and walked out.

Yang Lijun was just a show-off, and she just wanted to put on airs to mock her, without giving it too much thought.

But if the matter really reaches Jingzhao Prefecture, it will inevitably alert Tutor Yang.

Yang Lijun was terrified whenever she thought of her grandfather's majestic face. After returning home from the last palace banquet, she was punished by the family and had to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night.

If I alarm my grandfather again this time, the consequences can be imagined!

Thinking of this, she felt extremely annoyed. Why did she bother to provoke Shen Li for no reason?

Even if she really seduced her brother, what does it have to do with her, Yang Lijun? She always hurts herself by standing up for others!

She bent her body and refused to go out.

When everyone saw this, they realized that Miss Shen San did not seem to be faking it, but was determined to take Miss Yang to court.

It seems that these unfounded things were indeed Yang Lijun's conjectures and fabrications.

If the incident were to be reported to Jingzhao Prefecture, it would be known to all the people in Jiangdu City.

Miss Shen San was not even afraid of this. I guess she was very angry and determined to confront Yang Lijun.

Shen Li grabbed Yang Lijun's wrist and refused to let go. Xingping also wrestled with the other maid, each helping their own girl.

"Why, weren't you very tough when you spoke just now? What are you afraid of now?" Shen Li sneered, "You have to go today, whether you want to or not!"

"Who...who is scared!"

Yang Lijun struggled, not knowing how Shen Li, who looked so petite, could have such strong hands!

"I just want to save your face. If this gets out of hand, will you still be able to go out shopping in the future?"

"From what you said, I should bring a thank-you gift and come to your house to thank you?" Shen Li mocked, "If you hadn't been beaten up today, I would have really lost all my face!"

Yang Lijun was clinging to the door frame and was about to be pulled out of the threshold.

Just as she was in a dilemma, a woman's gentle voice came from behind her, "Third sister Shen, don't be so angry."

Han Yunning walked up to him with a gentle smile on his face and advised softly,

"Third sister Shen, after all, your Shen family and the Yang family are related. Lijun also calls you cousin. How can you not be so tolerant and still care about a junior? If it gets out, I'm afraid others will think that you are mean and will not let go of any mistakes."

Someone wanted to tarnish her reputation and let her be engulfed by these rumors, and she was expected to be tolerant and magnanimous?

Shen Li pulled the corners of her lips slightly, and smiled meaningfully, "Sister, of course, is not as magnanimous as Sister Yun Ning."

"If you want to tolerate someone, you have to see who they are. If you want to forgive someone, you have to see what their fault is. If you, as a sister, just indulge them blindly, let them arbitrarily slander you, and ignore them, are you going to be a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others?"

Xue Ling, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement, "Sister Third Shen is absolutely right. Some people know what is good, but some people just don't know what is good for them!"

People make things convenient for me, and I make things convenient for others.

Whether you want to be tolerant depends on who you are with. Do you think you should be tolerant of someone if he is hit by a stick and sent to the underworld and becomes a ghost?

Who doesn't know how to be generous to others?

Shen Li smiled, and when she spoke to Han Yunning again, her tone had become a little colder.

"Sister, you and I are both women, and we should know how important reputation is to women. Why are you trying to persuade me to let it go? Could it be that in your eyes, other people's reputation is not a reputation?"

Han Yunning sneered in his heart, this Shen Li is really smart.

He could tell at a glance that Yang Lijun was just a helper, and he was the one who was fanning the flames behind the scenes and really wanted to ruin her reputation.

But what's the harm in knowing it?

In fact, as early as the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, she learned the news that Luo Cheng had escaped with Shen Li, and immediately spent money and ordered people to spread the news everywhere.

Unfortunately, Shen Beiqi acted too quickly and ordinary people were afraid of his pressure, so the news was quickly suppressed before it could ferment and expand.

Those who heard the gossip were also warned one by one. Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials, so they naturally did not dare to go out and talk nonsense.

At this moment, Han Yunning didn't really want to protect Yang Lijun.

But if the case goes to court, there will definitely be a trial.

If Yang Lijun did not succumb to the pressure from the officials and said that the news came from her, she would bring herself unnecessary trouble.

Han Yunning's eyes turned slightly, and he continued to persuade,

"What are you talking about, sister? I know that reputation is as important as a mountain, but if you bring her to court like this and let the people know about it, who will care whether it is true or false? I'm afraid that sister will not get away with it! No matter how powerful the Duke of Jingguo is, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop the people from talking. By then, rumors will spread like wildfire..."

She took two steps forward, with an inexplicable smile on her lips, "I'm afraid your sworn brother can't protect you!"

"is it?"

A clear voice came from the door.

Everyone looked outside.

At the bottom of the stairs stood a young man with a handsome appearance and a jade-like appearance.

He was tall and slender, like a delicate orchid, and he was wearing a dark blue round-necked brocade robe that shimmered in the sun. He was so beautiful that it was impossible to look at him directly.

Han Yunning pursed his lips subconsciously.

Once upon a time, this arrogant, handsome and powerful young man belonged to her.

But now, because of Shen Li, everything has become an empty dream.

Yue Yang followed behind Shen Beiqi and let out a long sigh.

After the secret guard came to report, they hurried from the Muxue Teahouse and fortunately they caught up.

Although he didn't think it was a big deal.

But he couldn't help but see his master insisting on coming, saying that the third lady's affairs were no small matter!

Shen Beiqi walked up the steps gracefully, stopped in front of her, and looked down at her cheeks which were slightly flushed by the sun.
