Chapter 114: Look at it differently
"Stop messing around and tell the truth." Seeing that the palace doctor was about to move his mouth, Shen Liu hurriedly made a gesture with some coercion, but his eyes revealed a pleading look.
"Yes, there is an engagement." As these four words came out of the mouth of the palace doctor, Shen Liu breathed a sigh of relief, while Qingyu felt as if he was struck by lightning and was unable to react.
"In that case, are you willing to take twenty lashes of the cane for him?" Minister Liu asked according to the procedure without any hope.
In fact, it happens from time to time that women tease men, but most of the time the men just think they are unlucky. What's worse, some men directly marry the women who teased them just to preserve their damn reputation.
Sometimes Minister Liu felt that these laws were too unfair to men, but this had been the case in Yuenu Kingdom for hundreds of years. What could she do?
"I am willing to take thirty lashes of the cane for him." Shen Liu said this in an inexplicable way. After saying it, he felt a little regretful. Thirty lashes of the cane, that's thirty lashes of the cane! Will he still be alive after taking them?
But having said that, she still nodded reluctantly as if to convince herself.
When she said this, everyone was shocked beyond words.
"According to the law, you can only take twenty lashes on his behalf!" Although Minister Liu was a little shocked, he still refused impartially.
"I am willing to take the ten blows myself!" The palace doctor said without waiting for Shen Liu to speak, and at the same time he glanced at Shen Liu.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes on Fang Yuan changed again and again.
When Minister Fang saw this situation, she knew that her daughter was doomed! She glared at Fang Yuan fiercely, and Fang Yuan shrank back unconsciously in fear.
Shen Liu understood at once that he was going to nail Fang Yuan to the pillar of shame with these thirty strokes of the cane. He also understood that if she did not come forward and say that she was engaged to him, he really intended to die as proof of his own wrongdoing.
Shen Yueqiao looked at Shen Liu's distressed expression, curled his lips and glanced at the palace doctor.
What a good trick! She believed that if Shen Liu had agreed to marry the royal doctor before leaving today, Fang Yuan would have been ruined by now!
But has Shen Liu realized his own feelings?
"Lady Shen, if that's the case, then I will take these two men to be executed." After all, Shen Liu was from the Shen Mansion, so Lord Liu still had to give instructions to Shen Yueqiao.
"Yes, sir!" After this episode, Shen Yueqiao paused and was about to speak.
"Ms. Shen, the rumors are after all about Fang Yuan and your husband. I will give you an explanation for this matter." Minister Fang spoke first. She saw through Shen Yueqiao's intention and didn't want to make things worse.
"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Fang." Shen Yueqiao didn't want to fight to the death with Minister Fang. She still had to enter the officialdom in the future, and it was not worth it to have one more enemy.
Minister Liu is not a nosy person. Although she is fair and strict, she is not the kind of person who would stick to one thing.
Nowadays, the power of the Minister of War is at its peak in the court. Even if she insists on her point, she is just looking for scapegoats for the Minister of War.
Thinking of this, she looked at Shen Yueqiao with approval. He was able to achieve his goal and knew when to stop. Shen Yueqiao was definitely not as bad as the rumors said.
At noon, Lin Hongle looked at the table of food that was served and felt a little empty.
"Young master, the head of the family just sent Shen Ruoer to deliver a message saying that he will not come at noon." Lin Liulong replied while pulling his head.
"Forget it, let's withdraw." Lin Hongle had lost his appetite. He had heard about the beatings of the palace doctor and Shen Liu. Naturally, he thought that Shen Yueqiao didn't get any advantage, and he was in a low mood.
He ignored Lin Liu's persuasion and walked into the house on his own.
Why is life so difficult for men in this era?
As he thought of this, a sinister look appeared in his eyes.
