Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers
Chapter 579: The Zhang family and Shen Yuanhao face to face!"I'll complete your words for you."
"I can't protect him just because his surname is Shen!"
Zhang was shocked by the sarcasm and began to feel uneasy.
With so many civil and military officials watching, if Shen Lanxi dared to help her brother, she would definitely be criticized.
She dare not!
Even for the sake of face, she would let Shen Yuanhao marry her daughter.
She needn't be afraid!
"Your Majesty is wise. That is not what I meant. I came here today just to ask Your Majesty to give justice to my family and my daughter!"
The prince adopted by Your Majesty has half of the Zhang family's blood in him, so I don't believe that Your Majesty will really take action against them.
Shen Lanxi ignored Zhang and said, "Dali Temple, Ministry of Justice, continue!"
Ministry of Justice: "Zhang Churan, tell me in detail what happened that day?"
Zhang Churan was so embarrassed that he almost died.
How could she, an unmarried woman, say this? If others heard it, she would lose her reputation.
"Zhang Churan, don't think that if you don't tell us, we can't do anything to you."
"If you don't tell us, we'll ask the Shen family. I think the incident happened at the Shen family that day. I'm sure many people in the Shen family saw it."
Zhang didn't want to.
"Daughter, tell me. What if they help each other?" Zhang pushed the woman.
Zhang Churan felt even more ashamed. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day, so she didn't have the strength to fight back even if she wanted to.
"It happened the day after my sister's funeral. My brother-in-law drank a lot of alcohol that day."
Shen Yuanhao immediately retorted: "I took a bottle of wine because I was sad, but I didn't drink much."
Ministry of Justice: "General Shen, I haven't asked you yet, please wait a moment before answering."
The Zhang family was delighted to see that the Ministry of Justice dared to interrupt Shen Yuanhao.
It seems that the Ministry of Justice believes them.
Zhang Churan has already started crying.
"I saw that my brother-in-law was sad and had drunk so much. I was worried that he might hurt himself, so I stepped forward to try to dissuade him. Unexpectedly, I..." The crying gradually became louder.
The head of the Ministry of Justice said with a straight face: "Talk nicely, and then cry after you're done. If you can't talk, I'll ask the Shen family the same thing."
Zhang Churan's face changed, and the Zhang family's hearts skipped a beat.
Out of desperation, Zhang Churan also gave it his all.
"My brother-in-law mistook me for my sister. I look a bit like my sister. Many people say that my sister and I not only look alike in face, but also in body shape. I guess that's why my brother-in-law mistook me for her!"
"My brother-in-law is a military commander. I am a weak woman. How can I be a match for a military commander?"
The chief of the Dali Temple said: "You can call for help!"
Zhang Churan: “…”
Zhang Family: “…”
Dali Temple: "You also said it was the day after the funeral. I think everyone in the Shen family was there. If you called for help, many people would hear you. Why didn't you call for help?"
Zhang Churan reacted immediately and explained hesitantly, "Sir, I am a woman. My reputation is more important than anything else to me. If I call for help, how will people see me in the future?"
Ministry of Justice: "If that's what you said, you should have concealed the matter later. But you didn't."
The Zhang family members looked uncomfortable.
"That's because... That's because, when I first saw my brother-in-law was sad for my elder sister, I felt a little sorry for him."
"As you all know, women are always soft-hearted."
Baiguan twitched his lips and said, "You are shameless, why do you want to involve them?"
Besides, not all women are soft-hearted.
There is no need for them to explain this, Zhang Churan will definitely experience it personally later.
Dali Temple: "Why do you want to make it public again?"
Zhang Churan lowered his head and hurriedly thought about how to explain.
Zhang spoke, her tone aggressive.
"Of course I know my daughter has suffered a loss. My daughter has suffered such a big loss, it can't be in vain."
"No mother in the world can watch her daughter being bullied."
"My Lords, let me ask you this: if your daughter was bullied, would you swallow your anger or seek revenge?"
Dali Temple: "So your family came to the Shen family."
Zhang: “Yes!”
Ministry of Justice: "How do you want the Shen family to compensate you?"
Zhang blurted out: "Of course, marry my daughter." After she said that, she realized that she had spoken too quickly and quickly lowered her head.
Dali Temple: "Did you know that His Majesty has previously issued an order that men from the Shen family who lose their wives must observe a three-year mourning period?"
There was no need for Zhang to answer, as the Ministry of Justice gave the answer first.
"I heard that when Zhang Chuchu died, His Majesty was at the Shen family. As relatives, you must have been there too. His Majesty's words are golden, and you couldn't have missed them."
What should the Zhang family say?
If they say they didn't hear it, they are disobeying the order.
They would say they heard it and let Shen Yuanhao get married, which was still disobeying the order.
Cold sweat kept dripping down their bodies.
They finally understood why the Shen family wanted to drive them out of the capital, but unfortunately, it was too late!
Everyone in the Zhang family was so scared that they huddled together, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Liu Yanhui said in a relaxed tone: "It seems that things have become very clear."
Dali Temple: "More details are needed." The Shen family hasn't asked yet?
All questions should be asked to prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to tarnish your Majesty's reputation.
"General Shen, I want to ask you, how did you know that the Zhang family drugged you?"
Shen Yuanhao had already thought about this matter, so he answered fluently.
"Although I took the wine that day, I only drank two sips. Because of military regulations, I can't drink alcohol. Over time, I have developed a habit. Even if I am sad, I will not drink too much."
After saying this, he added another sentence.
"After this incident, I will never drink again in my life!"
The officials whispered to each other for a while, saying that it really takes a lot of willpower for a man not to drink.
Ministry of Justice: "Has the wine been tested to confirm that drugs were added?"
Shen Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, then explained awkwardly: "I didn't check it. I was a little flustered at the time and didn't pay attention to it."
Dali Temple: "Tell me in detail about your various reactions after drinking?"
Shen Yuanhao recalled carefully: "I felt dizzy, nauseous, and a little sleepy."
Dali Temple: “…”
Ministry of Justice: “And then?”
Shen Yuanhao: "Then I don't know anything."
The imperial physician who had been called in earlier came out to speak.
"Your Majesty, from General Shen's description, it doesn't seem like he was drugged, but more like... drunk!"
Officials: “…” There was something wrong with the way they looked at Shen Yuanhao.
No wonder he swore not to drink. With this alcohol tolerance, he’s basically saying goodbye to alcohol!
Shen Yuanhao was stunned after hearing this. He?
A grown man gets drunk after taking two sips?
It would be better to say that he took Chinese medicine?
A chuckle rang out.
"How difficult is it to know Shen Yuanhao's alcohol tolerance?"
Baiguan: "..."
No way?
~
meeting!
Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Bring the wine, drink it in front of Zhang Churan!"
