453 Settled (2)
Because she refused to reveal who instructed her, she could only bear this responsibility herself.
Hearing the outcome of Lord Cai’s punishment, Madam Zhang fell to the ground.
After a long time, she suddenly knelt in front of Shen Yijia. “Madam Song, I was bewitched. Madam Song, please forgive me this time.”
Shen Yijia pulled her feet away and pursed her lips. “I’m not the one who can save you. It’s you. As long as you reveal who instructed you, you naturally don’t have to die.”!!
The one who was going to die was the instigator.
Madam Zhang paused and looked at Shen Wenbo in a daze.
Shen Wenbo’s eyes turned cold. He tilted his body subtly, and a small and exquisite longevity lock leaked out from his waist.
Madam Zhang’s pupils constricted. That was a gift from Shen Pingxiu when her son was born. He had never left her side all these years.
She closed her eyes and suddenly laughed crazily. “I did it alone. No one instructed me to.”
It was her. She had caused all of this.
Actually, when Shen Pingxiu disappeared that day, she did not have to say that she was his mistress when she went to report the case.
However, she was greedy!
She thought that she could not be a mistress for the rest of her life. She was still young now. Shen Pingxiu could come once in a while, but what would happen when she got old?
She thought about how she had her son by her side. As long as this matter was exposed, Shen Pingxiu would bring the mother and son into the residence, even if it was for his son’s sake.
However, she did not expect the matter to be so serious, nor did she expect Shen Pingxiu to be so heartless.
When Madam Chen locked the mother and son in the woodshed for a day and night and Shen Pingxiu did not appear, she knew that she had made the wrong move.
However, it was too late for regrets.
Madam Zhang alternated between crying and laughing. She kept repeating these words, as if she had gone crazy.
Lord Cai waved his hand and asked someone to bring her away.
As for the three women, they had each been beaten twenty times for perjury. Moreover, they had to hand over all the silver they had obtained from the bribes.
After the matter came to an end, Lord Cai heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave.
Shen Yijia stood up. “What about me? I was escorted to court by you guys like a criminal early in the morning. I was framed for no reason and was pointed at and scolded by so many people. I was almost beaten up just now. Don’t you have any compensation for me?”
Lord Cai’s eyelids twitched. “Then what do you want?”
He only wanted to send her away as soon as possible.
“Oh.” Shen Yijia thought for a moment. “I was slandered by them. It’s not too much to ask for some mental damages, right? Of course, it’s fine if you don’t give it to me. Then I can only continue to sue. I have to find out who’s behind this.”
He had never heard of mental damage payments, but he understood what Shen Yijia meant.
She meant to ask for money!
If he didn’t pay, she would tear apart the Shen family’s cover.
The corners of Lord Cai’s mouth twitched. In order to please Lord Jing, he had already sided with the Shen family. He couldn’t push her out at the last moment.
However, it was best if he could settle it with some money. He immediately agreed. “It’s not too much. Then…”
Shen Yijia reminded him, “Just now, Madam Zhang said that I promised her 600 taels of silver.”
Lord Cai was shocked. “Six hundred taels! Why don’t you rob someone?”
A trace of disdain flashed across Shen Ruyun’s eyes. She disagreed. “Second Sister, why did you…”
“Be quiet.” Shen Yijia interrupted her impatiently.
Shen Ruyun’s nails dug into her flesh.
She was Consort Jing. How dare this girl speak to her like that?
She wanted to ask someone to slap Shen Yijia’s mouth, but there were so many people watching outside. She had to maintain the image of a good sister.
After all, she could even “give up” her marriage to Song Jingchen. So what if she was casually criticized?
Moreover, she was afraid that Shen Yijia would really hold on to this matter.
Shen Yijia could care less about the Shen family, but she could not. If her maternal family was too weak, how good could her reputation as the eldest daughter of the Shen family be?
She took a deep breath and glanced at Lord Cai.
Lord Cai gritted his teeth. “Alright, six hundred taels it is.”
“It’s not 600 taels. 600 taels is just the price of one person. Just now, four people identified me. It’s a total of 2,400 taels. Rounding it up, it’s 2,500 taels.” Shen Yijia extended four fingers.
“You can calculate it that way?” he thought.
Lord Cai’s eyes widened. He did not expect Shen Yijia to dare to ask for so much.
