With an order, dozens of soldiers surrounded Ning Deyuan, wanting to take him away. Princess Hexin immediately rushed out with the people from the residence. The House of Duke was in a mess. The first branch and the third branch watched from the side. Ning Wan held Madam Yang's hand excitedly and nervously, thinking, 'Ning Shu is finished now!'
There were countless whispers around them.
"It seems that the rumors are true. It was really Lady Ning who murdered Young Master Yun. The House of Duke is really unlucky this time."
"Yes, yes, I've long heard that Lady Ning's life carries poison and can kill all nine generations. Isn't it coming true now?"
"The three young masters are so pitiful. They were harmed by her at such a young age. It's too tragic … Duke Ning's reputation of the past few years will be completely ruined."
"Isn't it? Giving birth to a daughter like Shu is really a disaster! "
…
At this moment, a delicate and soft voice suddenly came from the residence. There was a hint of laziness in the voice, as if she was really awakened by the rude noise outside.
"Are the lords looking for me?"
Following that voice, a light green figure stepped over the high threshold and slowly walked out. The girl's figure was slender and straight, like the first blooming orchid by the green lake in spring.
She didn't expect to see Ning Shu again. Ning Wan's expression suddenly changed. 'Didn't she run away? She actually dared to come back? ' Then she thought, 'Since she's not afraid of death, then I'll let people see with their own eyes how Ning Shu walks to her death step by step!' 'How delightful!'
"Shu 'er!" Ning Deyuan and He Xin also didn't expect her to come out.' Didn't Ming Zi Gui take her away? Could it be that she didn't want to implicate them? ' Both of them felt heartache and relief. 'This girl is too stubborn.' 'But what should we do now?'
They saw Ning Shu's clear eyes slowly sweeping around, her gaze lightly drifting over everyone's faces. Then she smiled, slowly bent her knees, and shyly bowed to Wei Ze Cheng and the others. "My daughter was too sleepy in spring and didn't have the time to personally greet the lords. Please forgive me."
Wei Zecheng narrowed his eyes at her. The muscles on his face twitched, and he said with a fake smile, "It's good that Lady Ning didn't run away. Then come with us!"
Ning Shu bowed and stood up. She raised her head, her face full of doubt. "If Sir wants to take me, I have no reason to resist. It's just that I don't know what crime I've committed. "
Wei Zecheng scolded coldly, "Are you trying to cover up what you did? You tried to murder the second son of the Yun family, Cloud Leaf! He's the husband who divorced you a few days ago! "
Ning Shu was even more confused. "Why would my daughter want to kill her own husband?"
Wei Zecheng narrowed his eyes impatiently and voiced out the thoughts of the spectators. "Who knows? Lady Ning married three husbands in a row and none of them had a good ending. Either you're fated to be evil and transformed into a demon, wanting to jinx all the outstanding men in our country. Or, you have another lover and are dissatisfied with the three marriages that the Duke arranged for you, so you did something evil on a whim. You wanted to kill the three of them and then have illicit relations with your lover. Or, there might be other unspeakable reasons that we don't know. There are witnesses and evidence in this matter. I advise Lady Ning not to waste our time! "
"Witnesses and evidence?" Ning Shu bowed again. Her posture was very humble, and it was obvious that she was sincerely asking for advice. "My daughter doesn't know at all. Please enlighten me."
"It seems that Lady Ning won't give up until all hope is gone!" Wei Zecheng snorted coldly. He took out a pouch from his chest and raised it above his head. He said loudly, "This pouch was dug out from under the begonia tree in Young Master Yun's courtyard. Does the jade hairpin inside belong to you?"
Ning Shu examined it carefully and nodded. "Yes."
Wei Zecheng's eyes widened. "Then this pouch and the talisman inside belong to you without a doubt! The evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to deny it? "
The people around them nodded. How could they deny it when the evidence was irrefutable? If Lady Ning continued to deny it, she would be too shameless!
At this moment, the sound of a few horses galloping on the ground broke the deadlock. The one sitting on the leading brown horse was the current Sixth Prince, Xiao Yunyi. He urged his horse to rush over and shouted, "No one can touch her!"
