Chapter 42 Confrontation in the rain
"...Then I will fulfill you—"

What Du Ruolan saw and heard made her pupils shrink——

She knew the pimple-like things on Sheng Yu's body; even, she was ahead of him.

Could it be that she infected him?Did the venereal disease transmitted to Long Wanzong originate from her?
Du Ruolan's chaotic mood has not yet been sorted out, Sheng Yu's screams like being caught but slaughtered pigs resounded all over the place, Concubine Long Gui is ordering someone to catch him and take him to nowhere.

Du Ruolan was even more frightened, she didn't even know that the maid who held the umbrella for her missed the shot, and let the heavy rain wet her hair bun.

What would Concubine Long do if she just took Sheng Yu away and was lynched?Will she become a widow?What if Sheng Yu confessed her again? ...

Du Ruolan's mind was disturbed, and she was almost taken down by a fast-moving black shadow when she was distracted——

Behind the black shadow, the beautiful shadow wearing the moon-white gown supported her, and even straightened the umbrella that the servant girl had thrown crookedly for her.

Du Ruolan blinked the raindrops in front of her eyes, and then she saw the person in front of her clearly. Wasn't it Lin Ling who had repeatedly ridiculed her for "wearing sackcloth and filial piety and white for the Lin family" after she got married?
At this time, Lin Ling was closely following the figure of her husband Sheng Ruchi, and could only trot all the way in order to take an umbrella to protect the tall thigh-long Sheng Ruchi from the rain.

The heavy rain wet her long white dress against her calves, like a white jasmine flower in the rain.

Sheng Ruchi, dressed neatly but without an umbrella, bowed respectfully to Concubine Long, and stood up before she could speak.

Lin Ling, who followed closely behind, was the first daughter of the family, showing her charm, followed by Sheng Ruchi,
He finished his salute with such respect and respect that no one could pick out the slightest mistake, and without getting up, he came behind his father-in-law and mother-in-law, holding an umbrella for them with a tall and straight figure.

The elders of the former bowed their heads to the ground, while the daughter-in-law of the latter was as imposing as a mountain, and the scene was very funny for a while.

"Boldly—" the father-in-law whispered, "Did the empress tell you to get up?"

"My father-in-law's words are wrong. I am the official of the imperial court, and my wife is a concubine in the harem; no matter how high your status is, she is still the concubine of the emperor, not the mother of the country;

Although the minister dare not be called the good assistant of the country, he is also the official appointed by the imperial court; how can the pillar of the country make a big gift to the emperor's concubine and still fall to the ground? "

Sheng Ruchi replied neither humble nor overbearing, but the parents behind him who had knelt down to the power and power for a long time were very ashamed, and didn't know whether to get up or kneel.

The father-in-law was speechless, looking at the upright Mrs. Sheng who was kneeling behind him, he didn't know whether Sheng Ruchi was polite or rude.

"Hehe~" Concubine Long Gui laughed out of anger,

"Sheng Ruchi, Mr. Sheng, you are indeed much better than your pretending father, shrew mother and that shameless cousin;

But you have to know that this palace is not a kind person who cherishes talents, if you insult my face like this, this palace will not appreciate you—"

Sheng like a blazing arch:

"Your Majesty is just joking. What do you want a courtier to appreciate from your concubine? Even though your Majesty is quite favored and her natal family is extremely powerful, there is absolutely no reason to selfishly arrest and lynch people in other people's houses;
I also know that my mother is sad because of Mr. Long's death. If my unworthy cousin is indeed involved in this murder case, my mother can just assign the judge of the Ministry of punishment to decide the case. Why bother to go out of the palace to arrest him? "

"You clearly know that my poor nephew was infected with venereal disease by your cousin. Do you want me to bring this kind of matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so that the whole world will know about it and laugh at my nephew?"

Concubine Long was not angry but smiled, and exchanged words with the straight-backed talker of the Sheng family.

"Some things are easy to say but not good to say, and some things are good to say but not good to say. As for this matter, it is neither good nor good to say;

Please ask yourself, Hualiu disease will not kill you in a short time, nor will you die like Mr. Long.

Even if it was really passed on to Young Master Long by Chen's unworthy cousin, what's the use of killing him now?
In the final analysis, the empress concealed her identity and left the palace, and wanted to take my cousin away with her power, it was just to vent her personal anger;

If the Holy Majesty knows, I'm afraid he won't agree..."

Before Sheng Ruchi could finish his words, one of the guards headed by him immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and placed it on Sheng Ruchi's neck. The buzzing sound of the sharp blade in the rain was like the chirping of autumn cicadas left over from the end of summer.

The rain washed the blade more and more harshly, and there was a tinge of red indistinctly. This is a knife that drank countless blood.

As long as the imperial concubine gave an order, this man dared to chop Sheng Ruchi.

When Sheng Yusheng and his wife saw such a scene, their bodies froze and they didn't dare to breathe.

Lin Ling stood up calmly, and silently walked to Sheng Ruchi's side, expressing with actions that their husband and wife vowed to live and die together.

"Hahahaha, Sheng Ruchi, you really impress me. It turns out that there are still people in your Sheng family."

Concubine Long got up and took off her hood, clapped her hands and laughed.

When she walked down the steps, the father-in-law hurriedly held up the umbrella, Concubine Long was standing very close to Sheng Ruchi, and immediately became a little annoyed.

Because of the height difference, she had to look up to see Sheng Ruchi:

"You know that even if I don't take Sheng Yu away today, I still have ten thousand ways to prevent him from living or dying, right?
Even if Ben Gong doesn't do it, some people rush to help Ben Gong do it.Among these people, there might be your father, Sheng Yu's uncle. "

Sheng Ruchi took a half step back spontaneously and returned to:

"I still say the same thing: Sheng Yu is guilty, and he needs to be convicted by Lang Guan of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Humph! Stubborn!"

Concubine Long flicked her sleeves and strode away from the Sheng Mansion without looking at Sheng Ruchi or even Sheng Yu again.

Sheng Yusheng sat down on the ground in a state of exhaustion: It's over, it's over, the Sheng family is completely defeated now...

Madam Sheng broke free from Lin Ling's support, and threw herself on Sheng Ruchi:
"My son, why are you so stupid, we will suffer if the imperial concubine gets angry, what are you doing? She is not targeting us, what will happen to you and your father's career now... ..."

Mrs. Sheng is completely sad now, and she is crying heartbroken.

Those eyes looked at Sheng Yu, wishing to kill this nephew who had offended the imperial concubine alive.

Sheng Ruchi helped his mother put up the umbrella, took the girl's cloak and put it on his wife, and hugged her tightly:
"Mother, this is against the rules. Concubines are not allowed to participate in politics, and Long Wanzong's death has nothing to do with Sheng Yu;
If we let the imperial concubine take Sheng Yu away today, and word spreads that our Sheng family doesn't have to stay in the capital anymore, what kind of family would think highly of us?
If the imperial concubine was not a narrow-minded person, she would not have done such a thing today;

If she holds a grudge against Sheng Yu for taking him away today, she can't be expected to remember that the Sheng family handed over Sheng Yu.

After all, it is a blessing not a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. "

Mrs. Sheng was not a fool either, she resigned herself to her fate after a little thought, and wondered why it wasn't Sheng Yu who died first but the short-lived Long Wanzong?
Why is Hualiu disease not a serious sexual disease, and immediately let Sheng Yu die?

And Sheng Yu, sitting in the rain curtain with disheveled clothes, looked like a statue.
