Chapter 259 Chapter 259: One corpse, two lives

Ten police officers took away the five troublemakers first, but Yu Erya did not go and was pulled into the inner room of the rouge shop by Shen Zhiqing.

He hugged her and didn't let go for a long time.

She didn't push him away this time, but hugged his back with both hands, leaning her face against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

His fragrance drifted into her nose, as well as his body heat through her clothes.

The two didn't speak for a long time.

Until there was the sound of packing things away from Rouge Shop.

Only after Shen Zhiqing was willing to let go of his hands did he look at Yu Erya affectionately.

"I like you and want to marry you, Erya, are you willing?"

"You are the only wife in this life, a woman. You will never take concubines or play outside. If you don't believe it, I can swear it."

"I, Shen Zhiqing, swear that my love for Erya will be stronger than gold for the rest of my life and will remain true to her until death."

"..." Yu Erya was stunned for only a second before she came to her senses, but she did not immediately answer "yes".

Looking into his affectionate eyes, it seemed like a whirlpool was trying to suck her in.

"I am willing, Zhiqing, I am willing to marry you. I will keep your vow in mind, and you must fulfill it. And I will be loyal to you, no matter how hard it is."

"Erya, thank you..."

……

The two of them chatted with each other in the inner room for a quarter of an hour before they gave up and rushed to the Yamen.

At this time, Jing Zhaoyin had not yet personally interrogated the five troublemakers. They were already frightened to death by the solemnity of the yamen, and they told the truth before they were even sentenced.

Shen Zhiqing and Yu Erya looked at the content on the petition and realized that it was Shen Qingqing's fault.

She was jealous of the good business of Yu Erya's rouge shop and ready-made clothing store, and took away her business and customers, so she thought of finding someone to pretend to be a victim and go to Yu Erya's shop to cause trouble.

Jing Zhaoyin immediately sent three detectives to arrest Shen Qingqing.

In just two quarters of an hour, the detectives took her to the Yamen.

When she saw Shen Zhiqing and Yu Erya, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Second cousin, I am your only cousin, and for her sake, you actually reported me to the officials."

"..." Shen Zhiqing pursed his lips and was too lazy to talk nonsense to Shen Qingqing. He took Yu Erya away.

He has already told Jing Zhaoyin how to handle this matter. Because Shen Qingqin is only ten years old and has not committed anything unforgivable, it is naturally impossible for him to go to jail and be punished.

He fined her to compensate Yu Erya one hundred thousand taels of silver, and wrote another pleading to record the case in the Yamen to prevent her from committing another crime next time.

As for an apology, those three words are not important or valuable at all.

Even if she apologizes to Yu Erya, it can't change the hurt and impact on Erya these days.

……

That night, Shen Zhiqing brought Yu Erya and Yu Wenwen back to Prince Zhongyong's Mansion to have dinner with the Shen family.

Halfway through dinner, he told the whole family that he and Yu Erya were getting engaged.

"Great, congratulations, second brother..."

"Second brother, you are so powerful. You finally caught up with Sister Yu."

"Congratulations, second brother, I wish you and sister Yu a long life together and many children and grandchildren."

Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong were very happy to finally drink the second cup of tea served by their daughter-in-law.

Ruan Ruan is also happy, she finally has a beautiful sister-in-law.

The four brothers Shen Zhiyuan and Xu Wanrou were also happy for Shen Zhiqing and Yu Erya.

"Lao Wu, don't be so loud." Shen Zhiqing glared at Shen Zhicheng and told him to keep his voice down. Didn't you see that Yu Erya was so shy that she lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it.

Shen Zhicheng immediately closed his mouth and ate with a smile.

He'd better talk less! So as not to mess up the second brother's marriage.

Yu Erya lowered her head to eat, not even daring to use her chopsticks to pick up the food.

She was afraid that the Shen family would see her red face, which would be embarrassing.

Suddenly, there was an extra piece of chicken in her bowl. She raised her head slightly and looked sideways at the person next to her. It turned out that it was Shen Zhiqing who had given her a piece of chicken.

"Eat more, you have lost weight recently."

"Thank you."

"I remember you like to eat fish belly and fish head, eat more."

"I still have some in my bowl. Don't take it. Everyone wants to eat too."

"Don't worry, they don't like eating it."

The two were flirting, and Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong were already discussing which month the engagement date would be and how many guests they would invite.

……

Shen Qingqing asked her personal maid to deliver one hundred thousand taels of silver to the Yamen before she could return to the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Originally, the business of the rouge shop and the ready-to-wear shop was not good in the past few months, and they lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Now they have to compensate Yu Erya for 100,000 taels of silver. It is really a loss of his wife and a loss of soldiers.

The five troublemakers were also punished fifty times with a cane before they could go home.

midnight
Qin Manting blushed first and then had a stomachache. Shen Shaosheng immediately sent someone to ask Wen Po to come over.

After a busy night, Qin Manting finally gave birth to a baby boy after dawn.

But when Po Wen saw the baby boy's appearance, she yelled: "Ahhhh--"

She was so frightened that she ran away without even taking the reward.

Nonsense, what if I don't run away and the owner of the house silences me?
"Is Po Wen crazy?" Shen Shaosheng saw Po Wen running out like crazy, and he quickly rushed into the room and picked up the infant boy.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the baby's eyes were gray and there were no black or white eyes.

Looking at his ears again, there were none.

And his hands are actually underdeveloped stumps.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Why? Ahhhh——"

Shen Shaosheng threw the baby boy on the bed and ran out like crazy.

Qin Manting, who had just given birth and collapsed, was woken up by the sound and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What's going on? What happened? They are all running away. Who will take care of me and the young master? Someone, bring the young master here."

As soon as she gave birth to the child, she fell asleep and didn't even see what the child looked like. She only knew that she was giving birth to a son.

The personal maid carefully picked up the baby boy, walked to the bed, and placed him in Qin Manting's arms.

Then he quietly retreated to the door, not daring to raise his head.

"My son, my mother finally gave birth to you. You have loved her all night. You must be filial to your mother in the future. Don't forget your mother when you get a daughter-in-law."

Qin Manting forced out a happy smile, pushed aside the swaddling clothes, and saw the baby boy's face.

When she saw that his eyes were gray and there were no black or white balls, she hadn't noticed the problem yet.

When she tried to hold the baby boy's little finger, she found that he only had half an arm and only three fingers.

His face, which was originally bloodless, was as white as a piece of paper at this moment.

"No, no, my baby is fine..." Qin Manting looked at the baby boy's other arm and found that the condition was similar to the first arm.

Inadvertently, she discovered that the baby boy did not have a pair of ears.

"Ahhh-"

The horrified screams resounded throughout the entire Protector's Mansion, and could even be heard by passers-by outside the door.

"What's going on in the Protector's Mansion? It's so scary that ghosts and wolves howl all the time."

"Who knows what's going on with this family? Yesterday I heard that Miss Shen framed someone else and lost one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Why are you crying? Isn't Mrs. Shen going to give birth to a baby today? I even saw Po Wen coming out of it."

"Eighty percent of the time something happened, one dead, two dead, or the child was not saved."

"It's possible, otherwise why would I cry so loudly."
