A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o
Chapter 154: Realizing their true purpose, they've fallen into their trap!
Last night, Song Qingyan went to Jinsheng Tower to see Shen Yue.
Unexpectedly, instead of seeing Shen Yue, she ran into that unlucky mother and daughter!
Seeing that she was dressed so elegantly, Madam Jiang and Jiang Tong became greedy again, snatched the jewelry she was wearing, and even threatened to go to the Marquis's mansion to bring her back to the Jiang family.
She doesn't want to go back to the Jiang family, and she can't go back to the Jiang family!
His desire to climb up to Shen Yue grew stronger.
However, the Shen family's current situation is not good.
Song Qingyan was unwilling to accept it.
The gates of the Duke of Shen's mansion opened, but Song Qingyan did not see Shen Yue. Instead, she saw another distinguished figure—Prince Rui, Xie Yuqi!
Xie Yuqi and Shen Lin brought the coroner with them.
They want to perform an autopsy on the spot.
As the coroner approached the body, the butler, who was transporting the corpse with the Ye family servants, blocked his way. "What are you doing?"
"Examine the body!" the coroner replied.
"An autopsy?" The butler's face was filled with disbelief, then he let out a shrill scream, "Seventh Young Master and Miss Chu are already dead, and you still want to desecrate their corpses? You, your Shen family, have gone too far!"
The housekeeper's wailing was deafening, like a woman throwing a tantrum.
The master instructed him that no matter what the Shen family did, he should just cry and make a scene, so that everyone would know that the Shen family was bullying people!
What he wanted to do was to provoke the Shen family.
Sure enough, his cries drew stares and whispers from the surrounding crowd.
Shen Lin already felt unlucky, and now his face turned even more ashen.
But he couldn't get angry.
Otherwise, it would truly confirm that the Shen family has gone too far in bullying people!
Xie Yuqi remained calm.
He explained with a smile, "The autopsy was to confirm whether these two people were indeed Young Master Ye and Miss Chu. There was no intention to bully the Ye family."
He then countered, "Is the Ye family obstructing the autopsy because they're afraid the coroner will discover something?"
The housekeeper's sobs faltered, and her gaze darted away.
Shen Lin noticed the sudden change.
That's definitely because they're feeling guilty!
Could it be that, as Prince Rui suspects, the corpses are not Ye Shu and Chu Yin?
Therefore, this body needs to be examined more thoroughly.
Shen Lin's spirits lifted, and he immediately ordered the servants of the Duke's mansion behind him, "Men, drag this person who is obstructing the autopsy aside!"
At his command, the servants stepped forward.
At the same time, the Ye family servants rushed forward and stood beside the steward, firmly protecting the corpse.
The two sides were locked in a standoff, seemingly about to engage in combat.
And they really did start fighting.
The more the Ye family obstructs the autopsy, the more suspicious it becomes.
Desperate to seize something to turn the tide, Shen Lin disregarded the many civilians around him and forcefully ordered, "What are you all standing there for? Drag them all away!"
Not many servants from the Ye family came.
On the contrary, another group of guards from the Duke's mansion came out. They pulled and tugged at each other to prevent any obstruction, and soon the Ye family servants were injured one after another and thrown aside.
Only the Ye family butler remained.
"The Duke of Shen's mansion is bullying us!" The steward cried and wailed the whole time.
He yelled at the top of his lungs, attracting even more people.
Shen Lin didn't care about much else. As long as the autopsy revealed that the two corpses were not Ye Shu and Chu Yin, it would confirm that the Ye family had deliberately framed the Duke's Mansion.
He was determined to go to the palace immediately and ask the Emperor to uphold justice.
Qi'er said that since the Ye family could not be an ally, they should be destroyed.
He then destroyed the Ye family for Qi'er's sake!
Shen Lin became increasingly agitated. After the guards dragged the Ye family's steward away, he immediately ordered the coroner, "Examine the body!"
The coroner, upon receiving the order, lifted the white cloth covering the corpse on the cart.
The corpse was exposed to everyone's eyes without any cover, which immediately drew gasps of surprise.
The exclamation was filled with sympathy.
Even the coroner was taken aback for a moment.
He had examined countless corpses, but these two were completely disfigured, with not a single part intact.
The male corpse, in particular, was almost completely burned to a crisp.
How can we verify his identity?
Unless Young Master Ye and Miss Chu have obvious characteristics that are different from others, they cannot be detected.
The coroner steeled himself and touched the male corpse's chest. A crisp sound was heard, like charcoal turning to ash, which drew gasps from the crowd.
Even the coroner felt a chill run down his spine.
They quickly collected the two jade pendants from the corpse and reported them to Prince Rui and Shen Guogong, saying, "The corpse was burned too badly; only these personal belongings might be able to prove the identities of the two men."
Xie Yuqi and Shen Lin's faces turned ashen.
Everyone present heard it clearly.
They were still in shock from seeing the two bodies.
"That jade pendant was originally a pair of jade ornaments specially made for the Ye and Chu families when they made their marriage agreement, hoping that the two would be forever united in heart and soul. But who knew..."
"Not only was our engagement forcibly broken up, but they also tried to kill us!"
The Ye family steward let out a heart-wrenching cry, which provoked the anger of the crowd.
In the crowd, some people were filled with righteous indignation:
"Last night, I was outside Jinsheng Tower and I witnessed Miss Chu being forced by Young Master Shen, and she almost committed suicide."
"Miss Chu has already stated that she is giving up the engagement and has requested to return home. Prince Rui clearly agreed, but unexpectedly, Prince Shen still won't let her go, and even took his anger out on Scholar Ye!"
"Could it be that the agreement was merely a facade, while secretly the intention to take lives already been made?!"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Xie Yuqi and Shen Lin's faces turned even darker.
Seeing that the man was about to speak again, Shen Lin shouted angrily, "Shut up! Shut up!"
He used to maintain the demeanor of a duke, being proper and polite, but deep down he had not learned any of the manners of a noble family.
His anger was palpable, his expression ferocious and ruthless.
But the man wasn't afraid. "Is Duke Shen preventing people from speaking the truth? The heir of Shen bullies a defenseless woman, and now Duke Shen wants to bully us ordinary people too?"
It was common for powerful families to oppress the common people.
However, putting it out in the open would damage the reputation of a prestigious family.
Shen Lin was slightly taken aback.
Other voices of public anger followed:
"Duke Shen, you wouldn't be planning to burn us alive too, would you?"
"Does the Shen family truly consider the lives of ordinary people to be worthless?"
"..."
Shen Lin felt a surge of anger in his chest, almost to the point of vomiting blood.
Why are they throwing dirty water on them?
"you……"
Shen Lin opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the Ye family butler, whose cries had been deafening, started howling again, interrupting him.
"In that case, will the Shen family try to wipe out the Ye and Chu families?" The Ye family steward asked, his face filled with fear.
He then scrambled to his knees before Prince Rui and Duke Shen, pleading, "Your Highness, Duke, please be magnanimous and do not take your anger out on the Ye and Chu families."
As he spoke, he hurriedly kowtowed again.
"Your Excellency, the master was so heartbroken for the two children that he wanted to seek justice for them, which is why he sent us to bring the bodies here."
"We'll take the bodies away right away, but we beg Your Highness and Duke Shen to show mercy and not kill them all!"
Shen Lin and Xie Yuqi didn't have a chance to say a word until the Ye family servants left with the body.
That lackey of the Ye family has a loud voice, talks too much, and acts too much.
Only then did Xie Yuqi understand the Ye family's true purpose in sending the body here.
The Ye family wanted to provoke the Shen family by using the corpse to stir up public opinion.
If the Ye family and the Chu family ever make any mistakes in the future, people will associate them with him and the Shen family and blame them.
Xie Yuqi's face was gloomy.
After everyone had left, Xie Yuqi finally couldn't contain his anger. He took the pair of jade pendants presented by the coroner and smashed them on the ground to vent his rage.
Debris flew out.
Suddenly, a woman cried out in pain.
Xie Yuqi looked over and saw the woman. "It's you!"
