Chapter 34 The crime of adultery
Lu Xiangwan didn't know why her aunt had such a big opinion of Shen Li.
"Auntie, in fact, this matter is not that serious, Shen Li has no background, maybe..."
Before Lu Xiangwan finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Queen Mother Lu again.
"Usually I think you are quite shrewd, but why is your brain not so bright this time? His father is Shen Hai! Anyone can marry Si Yan, but she can't."
Thinking of the past, Lu Xiangwan's heart also tightened, but Shen Hai is dead, so what kind of storm can be caused.
Empress Dowager Lu continued.
"Anyway, this can't be done, and I will try my best to destroy that imperial decree."
Lu Xiangwan nodded, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
"By the way, that Shen Li was married before, can you make a fuss about it?"
Lu Xiangwan told the Queen Mother Lu the ins and outs of Shen Li's wedding being robbed, as well as all kinds of rumors in the market.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Lu's face gradually calmed down, and she pointed out to Lu Xiangwan.
"Go to Shen Guang's place yourself and find out about the matters in the Earl's Mansion."
…
Lu Xiangwan did as the queen mother said. Shen Guang's family had always disliked Shen Li, so they naturally talked endlessly.
After this day, Shen Li, who had been discussed by no one, became hot again, and the rumors related to the Earl's Mansion became even more rampant.
Although these rumors are related to Shen Li, the protagonist is not her, but Zhong Ning.
It was rumored that she couldn't stand loneliness and was unwilling to be a widow. Instead, she had an affair with the servants in the mansion and behaved frivolously.
Shen Li was very angry when she found out, just when she was trying to hide it from Zhong Ning and try to solve it, the troublemaker came to her house directly.
Many people demanded that Zhong Ning be sunk in the gimmick of cleaning up the door for the dead Shen Hai. They gathered at the entrance of the Earl's Mansion and blocked the surrounding of the Earl's Mansion.
When Shen Li brought the people to the gate of the mansion, there were already rotten vegetables and rotten eggs in front of the gate.
A group of people outside were still shouting angrily.
"Shen Tang! Shen Tang!"
"Shen Tang has taken advantage of this slut, she should soak the adulterer and adulterer in a pig cage together."
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow was shot out from Shen Fuli, and it pierced straight into the thigh of the vigorous man who was shouting just now.
The man fell to the ground immediately, clutching his thigh and howling.
At this moment, Gu Sheng walked out from the door, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, standing in the mess outside the door, and opened his mouth aggressively.
"Who is still talking nonsense here!"
Gu Sheng’s imposing manner frightened the outsiders for a while, but they were numerous, and now that someone was injured, they had the opportunity to make a big fuss.
There was a bold one who stood up and shouted.
"Who are you? Standing up for your wife, you must be the one who had an affair with her."
"That's right, adulterer and adulterer!"
At this time, many people had gathered around the Earl's Mansion, and almost the entire street came out to watch the excitement.
Zhong Ning stood in the courtyard, watching what happened outside, feeling as if he had been stabbed by a knife.
She worked hard as a widow for the sake of the Shen family, and this is what happened to her?
Shen Li finally realized the seriousness of the matter. With such a big disturbance, there must be someone behind it.
They want to completely destroy the Earl's Mansion!
Shen Li took two steps forward and said indomitably.
"Which of your eyes saw my mother having an affair, or do you have evidence in your hands?"
As soon as these words came out, all the troublemakers just fell silent, only a few stubborn ones were still talking.
"That's what the outside world says, and there can be lies."
"That's right, widows, how many of them can endure loneliness at such a young age."
Shen Li found out that this group of people are messing around, and if this continues, the problem will not be solved at all.
She turned to tell Xiaoshuang.
"Go to the government to invite someone, and arrest all those who spread rumors and cause trouble just now!"
