ALL NOVEL Chapter 45 Thirty Rods
Shen Ning said coldly: "You want to say that the person who ruined my innocence is not the regent, but you?"
Qin Yanshu was shocked and looked at her in disbelief.
"Qin Yanshu, do you really think that no one knows about the despicable things you have done?" Shen Ning's eyes were like knives, sharp and cold, "But now that you are here, I can't pretend that nothing happened. "
After finishing her words, she turned around and ordered: "Come here!"
The guards outside Linzhi Palace quickly came to the courtyard and knelt down on one knee: "Princess."
Qin Yanshu turned to look at the guards.
Shen Ning has only been married a few days, are they already so respectful to her?
"Qin Yanshu was disrespectful to this princess time and time again. He called her by her name without saying anything, and he also plotted to destroy my innocence in the countryside. You pull her over and give her thirty beatings with a cane." Shen Ning ordered coldly, "After the beating, he will be sent back to Qin's house. , just say it was my order."
"yes!"
After Shen Ning finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the pavilion. She ignored Qin Yanshu who was dragged aside by the guards and walked directly to the door of the dormitory.
Pushing the door open and entering, she saw Ji Yucang standing in front of the window. Shen Ning frowned slightly: "Didn't I tell you to rest?"
"If there is a good show to watch, naturally watch the good show first." Ji Yucang smiled lightly, "The palace guards are very respectful to you."
Shen Ning was silent and guessed: "Maybe it's because they were intimidated by my martial arts when I practiced martial arts with them?"
Ji Yucang laughed: "It should be because of your talent."
After all, anyone can learn martial arts, but not many people can make rapid progress within a few days.
Shen Ning's performance on the school field in the past half month was enough to make rapid progress, enough to convince all martial arts practitioners.
Shen Ning looked at him seriously, sizing up the face in front of her that was pale and sickly but could not hide its handsomeness.
Ji Yucang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw her: "What's wrong?"
Shen Ningdan asked: "Did you let people spread those random rumors?"
Ji Yucang said: "Why do you think so?"
"People outside say that you are cruel and ruthless and kill without blinking an eye. Without your permission, who would dare to spread rumors about you without any basis?"
Ji Yucang was silent for a moment after hearing this.
"Actually, it's not necessary." Shen Ning turned to look out the window, "I never care about things like reputation. What people outside talk about and think about this marriage are all outsiders' business. The more I care about other people's opinions, the more I care about what others say. It will be more painful.”
"I only think about myself." Ji Yucang said, "I don't want those people to look at me with pity and say that I married an innocent woman. If they know that I am the one who ruined your innocence, , they will think that we should be together of course, because I ruined your innocence, you can only marry me."
Shen Ning shook his head: "In this case, those dozen lives will also be counted on your head."
"So they are just talking without evidence."
Shen Ning quietly looked out the window at the scene of Qin Yanshu being scolded with a cane: "Qin Yanshu is here to clarify tonight. He said that everything on the mountain in the suburbs was done by him."
Ji Yucang's voice was cold: "So he should get thirty sticks."
Shen Ning said nothing. Thirty sticks were far from enough.
Everyone thought that Shen Ning's innocence was not guaranteed, but she was the only one who knew that Shen Ning's real life was at stake.
Therefore, Qin Yanshu also had to sacrifice his life.
As for the dozen maids and guards who died innocently and tragically, the lives of the entire Qin family should be used to pay for it.
The Qin family must die in order to repay this life debt.
In the courtyard, the sound of the cane sounded dull.
Qin Yanshu's face was pale, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.
He held on to the spring stool tightly and looked up at the door of the dormitory, as if he was looking at the person he wanted to see through the door.
But until the end of the thirty sticks, when he was dragged out by the palace guards, Shen Ning still did not show up.
"Ning'er, Ning'er! I was wrong!" Qin Yanshu struggled to speak, his voice full of pain and pleading, "Come out and see me, Ning'er, you... please forgive me! I like you, Ning'er!"
Two guards dragged him out.
Shen Ning was silent for a while: "How many generations has the Qin family been in Shengjing?"
Ji Yucang raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"Qin Yanshu doesn't look like a noble man raised in a century-old family."
"There are no aristocratic families in Shengjing. Those people are just trying to flatter themselves by calling them nice." Ji Yucang said indifferently, "The Yong Kingdom was founded less than a hundred years ago, and only the current generation of the emperor has been the emperor for three generations. The founding officials of that year were killed. Killing, demoting, demoting, ancestors and emperors, three palaces and six courtyards, none of the daughters of meritorious ministers gave birth to children. Instead, some with low official titles successfully gave birth to princes and princesses. My mother-in-law was the daughter of a small county magistrate. "
Shen Ning's eyebrows were filled with deep thought: "Then after the late emperor ascended the throne, all the three palaces and six courtyards were also the daughters of low-level officials?"
"No." Ji Yucang's voice was indifferent, "The founding emperor had too many killings, but he also needed to select a large number of talents. Uncle Qin was the number one scholar in the examination that our ancestors took thirty years ago. He successfully entered the officialdom and became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in more than ten years. Ten years later, my daughter entered the palace to be drafted, and she got to where she is today step by step.”
Shen Ning understood.
Therefore, the Qin family can be considered to be from a lower class background, and Uncle Qin Guo is the first generation of the Qin family to start the family business.
"Are you interested in the history of the Yong Kingdom?"
Shen Ning shook her head: "I'm not interested. I just feel that Mrs. Qin doesn't look like a noble lady from a noble family, and Qin Yanshu doesn't look like a noble man raised by a noble family, so I just asked casually, without any other meaning."
Ji Yucang hummed and said no more.
"How did you survive the poisonous hair before?" Shen Ning turned to look at him, "Just stay in the room alone and endure it?"
Ji Yucang nodded: "Until we find a real antidote, we can only endure it."
"Do you think you can find the cure?"
"I will do my best to obey fate." Ji Yucang said, "If God wants to kill me, there is no reason not to obey."
Shen Ning's eyes were strange: "I didn't realize that you are still a resigned person."
Ji Yucang was startled. He didn't know what he suddenly thought of. He was silent for a long time and then said: "If something happens to you, will you accept your fate?"
"No." Shen Ning answered without thinking, "Nothing in this world can make me accept my fate. As long as I live, I will never give up on making a comeback."
