Hua Ruyu tightly held onto Feng Wei's hand, and sobbed without a sound.

Feng Ning Yan watched from the side and couldn't help but sneer.

When Hua Ruyu saw Feng Ningyan's smile, there wasn't the slightest bit of awkwardness on her face. Instead, she walked over to Feng Ningyan and Shen Ling Jue with tears in her eyes and bowed, "Ruo Yu greets Your Highness Yuwang and Cousin …"

Feng Wei was just about to say that there was no need to be overly courteous in the family, but Feng Ning Yan took a step forward, grabbed Hua Ruyu's head, and said in a cold voice:

"When I was in the prison of the justice courts, I said that the Feng family has already broken off all relations with you. If you call me elder cousin again, I'll cut off your tongue and let you drink wine. It's only been a few days and you've already forgotten all about it? "

When Hua Ruyu heard this, she took a step back in grief and fear. "Putong!" She knelt on the ground and grabbed Feng Ningyan's battle robe, crying until she was out of breath.

"Cousin …" "A thousand wrongs cannot be blamed on Ruo Yu. Ruo Yu has already suffered the punishment of being nailed down and redeemed. Cousin, please forgive Ruo Yu …"

When Shen Lingjue saw Hua Ruyu kneel down, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Shen Youhuang.

Shen Youhuang had no intention of helping her side consort. Her expression was numb and her gaze calm.

Shen Lingjue knew from that glance that Shen Youhuang had no feelings for Hua Ruyu. Otherwise, which man would kneel to his brother's wife without saying a word?

This move of Hua Ruyu's caused Feng Ningyan to be stunned.

Hearing that, Feng Wei immediately let Hua Ruyu know: "Yu'er, what did you say? A death sentence?! "

He lifted up Hua Ruyu and looked at Feng Ningyan in disbelief.

"Yan'Er, what is your cousin talking about?" What punishment has she received, and what sin has she redeemed? "

Feng Ning Yan initially didn't want Feng Wei to know Hua Ruyu's venomous heart, so when she was framed by Chen You Huang and Hua Ruyu, she did not mention Hua Ruyu and did not say anything about it.

Now that Feng Wei had asked her this question, she actually didn't know where to start.

If one were to talk about Hua Ruyu's evil deeds, from the time at the banquet at the general's mansion to the time when she falsely accused Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue, if one were to talk about it, it would probably take a day and a night.

Hua Ruyu took advantage of the moment when Feng Ningyan was in a daze to shake her head sadly and say:

"Uncle, don't get angry at Cousin. It's Ruo Yu's fault. At that time, my cousin was giving gifts to Her Majesty in Yutang. A nun discovered the palace sand on her arm while she was bathing, and out of concern, she quietly told Ruyu. "

When Feng Wei heard this, he was greatly shocked. Looking at Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan, he could still clearly remember their loving faces the last time they came back. How could they not have a consummate wife even after returning to the capital?

This was the sin of bullying the monarch! This girl was truly bold!

Feng Jian was so angry that he couldn't even speak. Feng Ning Yan knew that she was in the wrong and couldn't help but lower her head. She just couldn't hold her mouth anymore.

Hua Ruyu had a chance to complain, so how could she give up? It was as if she was afraid of being interrupted. She hurriedly said:

"If Rain was afraid that Cousin Yu would be confused, she told the empress dowager that she wanted her cousin to consummate the marriage with Prince Yu. Who knew that the emperor would also be here to vent his anger on his cousin, thinking that his cousin was faking her marriage to bully the king? It was Ruyu's fault that her cousin had been sentenced to prison in the Supreme Court … After that, King Xuan and Zhuang Shaoqing personally brought their cousin out of prison. In accordance with the imperial court's rules, they were sentenced to a severe punishment … "Ruo Yu knows that she is foolish and sincerely repents. I only ask for your forgiveness …"

As he spoke, he collapsed from crying, almost fainting on the spot.

Only then did Shen Youhuang come forward with concern and take her in her arms.

"Ruyu, are you alright? Your injuries are not yet healed, and you're still struggling with the car, how can you still withstand such great happiness and sorrow … "There's a lot of time in the future, why are you so anxious to beg Princess Yufang for forgiveness?"

With that, he inadvertently pulled up Hua Ruyu's sleeves.

The densely packed needle marks on her arm, the scabs formed from her blood, were even more frightening.

When Feng Wei saw this, his expression immediately changed. He really wanted to use the army baton to viciously beat up Feng Ning Yan.

"Yan'Er!" Father entrusted you to take good care of your cousin, how could you let her suffer such torture! "

Feng Ningyan felt this was extremely laughable in her heart. According to Flower Rain, as a victim, Feng Ning Yan was the first to bully the sovereign, taking revenge on Hua Ruyu, a venomous snake that was inferior to beasts.

How could she be so proud in her life? How could she tell the people she had been tortured and schemed against in the palace in front of the soldiers and her father?

She disdained to explain, and was unwilling to explain awkwardly to her father in front of Hua Ruyu and Shen Youhuang.

She glanced at the two of them in silence, then looked away, her smile full of contempt.

"Yan'Er, what's with your attitude?"

Feng Wei was so angry that his face turned green. He raised his palm into the air, but held it down tightly, unwilling to continue like this.

"Your aunt left you with only this one child. You caused her to reach such a state, yet she still begs for your forgiveness …" Look at you, you don't even look like a sister! "

"Father!" I don't have such a sister! She is not worthy! "

Feng Ning Yan thought about her tragic death in her previous life, recalled how Flower Rain had plotted against her time and time again, and thought about Green Ruo who died in injustice. She clenched her teeth and shouted.

At this moment, a pair of warm hands gently covered Feng Ning Yan's shoulders, and pulled her into his embrace.

Shen Ling Jue looked down at Feng Ning Yan and smiled, then said to Feng Wei: "Father-in-law, the wind is big here, so let's talk about the family matters in the military tent. "Since Yan'Er is married to me, I will bear the responsibility of both right and wrong. If father-in-law asks me, I shall do so."

When Feng Wei saw Shen Ling Jue defending his daughter like this, he recalled that his daughter had already married into a family.

At home, he would follow his father and marry his husband. As his father, he wanted to teach his daughter a lesson. Now, it all depended on whether or not Shen Ling Jue would agree to it.

His hand clenched into a fist and he said in a deep voice, "Good! "Yan'Er, go back to your father and talk about this matter properly!"

He then turned around and left, ordering Yue Qing to send Chen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu to the military tent to settle them down.

Yue Qing received the order and led the way. Shen You Huang supported Hua Ruyu as she walked over, nodding with a smile towards Shen Ling Jue.

Shen Ling Jue gave a faint smile, "Congratulations to my fourth brother for gaining the trust of Imperial Father and getting appointed as a military overseer. The journey has been arduous, but tomorrow the Japanese king will host a banquet to welcome my fourth brother."

Shen You Huang said with a smile, "A man is responsible for the safety of a nation, not to mention that we are both princes."

Feng Ningyan had long since understood that there was a hidden meaning behind Shen Youhuang's words when she heard her father's departing figure.

To others, what it meant to say was that as a prince, he should have a greater sense of responsibility. It was his duty to take the lead and protect his family.

But Shen Youhuang's tone was focused on the word "both." She was clearly emphasizing that there was no difference in status, identity, and strength between him and Shen Lingjue. It was likely that she also had the intention of deciding who would win.

Shen Ling Jue laughed, but did not speak. Feng Ning Yan laughed, "Your Highness Duke Cheng actually has the safety of the country in mind, truly surprising. But let me remind you, the military situation of the dragon's teeth changes constantly, and we can fight at any time. Prince Cheng, you brought your family, personal guards, maids, and wives and paid your respects to a few boxes. It's more like you're here for a vacation.
