Chapter 845: Want to Be the Crown Prince’s Secondary Consort? Keep Dreaming!
Shen Yunya’s face turned pale and that disgusting feeling endured. “It’s really my first time,” she explained.
“Why did you not bleed if you were a virgin? Why did you make the promise of never marrying the Crown Prince to an uncultivated man if it was your first time? Why did you still use this kind of despicable means to get into the Crown Prince’s bed, knowing that the Crown Prince likes you if you had not done it before?”
Luo Shiyun pressed in step by step, interrogating.
“I don’t know. I was really a virgin before Big Brother Jin. I don’t know how that could have happened,” Shen Yunya said with a pale face. She was well aware of her innocence, but in the face of the snow-white cloth, she was unable to explain.
Before Big Brother Jin, she had only held hands with Jiang Ying. She only let him hug her at the most. She had not done anything with any other man. How could she not be chaste? It was her first time.
“That’s because you have been a fallen woman for a long time. Doing all of this to cover up will only make it worse. That unsavory man has forsaken you, so you have set your eyes on the Crown Prince again,” said Luo Shiyun. She did not want to listen to Shen Yunya’s explanation. She hated her to the core.
“A month ago, before the Crown Prince and Shen Yunya’s big wedding, wasn’t she almost taken and promised not to marry the Crown Prince?” someone asked.
“It’s only been a month, and she has already used such a dirty method to climb into the Crown Prince’s bed. If we had not found out early, I’m afraid she would have gotten away with it,” another person said.
“This woman lost her virginity before marriage. Tsk tsk… how can she still be a princess consort or the Crown Prince’s secondary consort?”
“…”
All the noble ladies and young ladies could no longer hold back and began to talk amongst themselves.
Nowadays, the Shen Family occupied any good things. It was not easy to have a handle on them. No one would let go of such a good opportunity to hit them while they were down. Nasty things were said as much as possible, and every chance to provoke them was taken advantage of.
Luo Shiyun saw that the crowd was on her side. She took another look at the pale-looking Shen Yunya, who was powerless to explain, and smirked as she said, “You’re a fallen woman with dirty means and yet you want to marry the Crown Prince? You want to be the Crown Prince’s secondary consort? Keep dreaming!”
Seizing this opportunity, Luo Shiyun was determined not to let Shen Yunya marry the Crown Prince. Even if it were a night in the bridal chamber, she would not let it happen.
The Empress Dowager and Empress, as well as the Emperor, looked extremely grim. They only felt that they were thoroughly fooled by Shen Yunya.
“I take back my words just now. She is…” The Empress Dowager shook in anger and only spoke after a long while, saying, “You, the Shen family, can bring her back. You must not enter the Imperial Palace for the rest of your life. Scram.”
Hearing those awful words, Yuan Fangfei was stunned for a long time before she regained her senses. She said, “You vilified us. Our family’s Ya’er is clean and stays away from immorality. She is not that kind of person.”
Shen Yunya cried in distress and looked up at Xi Jin. She said, “Big Brother Jin, you tell them. I am really a virgin. I did not… I am not…”
“Don’t be afraid, Ya’er. I believe you,” said Xi Jin, gently nodding at her. Then he said to the Empress, “Perhaps the blood fell on the bed. Let the palace maid check.”
“Yes, it must have landed on the bed,” Yuan Fangfei quickly said, latching onto the idea.
“Jin’er, you…”
Xi Jin looked at her imploringly and said, “Mother, I believe in Ya’er, even if…”
He did not finish his sentence. But his meaning could not be any clearer.
“We’ll do as you say and let the palace maid check.” The Empress wholeheartedly followed his wishes, for fear that he would take things too hard again.
Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Jin being helped out of bed by the Empress and thought about what happened tonight as well as what he said. She watched as he spoke with deep affection, helping and pleading. But when those words reached her ears, it sounded as if he was pushing Shen Yunya step by step to the edge of the cliff.
