The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 172: Gratitude and hatred

Everyone was shocked.

King Jing looked very unhappy.

King Jing said coldly, "Since we can't make it out, I'm afraid both of them are guilty. Let's just punish them together!"

Suici struggled and begged for mercy, and Yuezhi also begged for mercy.

But Xie Run could see that she was more obviously proud.

Xie Run stood up and said, "Your Highness, if both of them are punished, one of them will inevitably be wrongly accused. I have an idea. Is Your Highness willing to listen to it?"

King Jing: "Speak."

Xie Run smiled brightly: "Yuezhi loves Zhao Wu so much, I'm afraid Zhao Wu has been taking good care of her since she was a child."

Yueyao nodded quietly: "Ever since Yuezhi came to serve at Chunshan Court, she has always been bragging about how good her big brother is to her."

"I also sensed her feelings for her brother from her words and actions."

Yuezhi looked at Yueyao hatefully.

She really didn't expect that Yueyao, who seemed timid and cowardly on weekdays, actually had so many things hidden in her heart.

She was mistaken!

Xie Run smiled and said, "Yuezhi and Suici are both close to Zhao Wu. I don't think anyone knows them as well as Zhao Wu."

"Given Zhao Wu's familiarity with these two people, he must know who is lying!"

"In that case, Your Majesty, why don't you give Zhao Wu a chance?"

"Which of these two men does Zhao Wu trust? I will ask the prince for mercy on his behalf, and only punish the other one."

After a moment's thought, King Jing knew what Xie Run was thinking.

He secretly thought that Xie Run understood human nature very well and could come up with such a sour idea.

King Jing responded without hesitation: "I'll do as you say!"

Xie Run added, "Since Your Highness has already done such a good deed, why not finish it and grant a marriage to the person chosen by Zhao Wu?"

King Jing looked at Xie Run deeply and felt that Xie Run in front of him was full of evil intentions.

But he didn't dislike it at all, instead he liked it a little.

As long as the intention is not to harm others, King Jing will only like and appreciate it, and will not mind it.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay!"

Zhao Wu suddenly got the opportunity to save someone, and perhaps even get a marriage from the prince. He seemed very confused.

Yuezhi was the first to react, pulling Zhao Wu's arms and crying, "Brother Wu, we grew up together, you know me best."

"I absolutely don't have the guts to murder the Fifth Young Master!"

"Sister Suici accidentally found out that I was in love with you, and she slandered me repeatedly and used this to threaten me."

"If this matter were to get out, how would my parents face the world? Even your future would be ruined."

"She is a cruel and vicious woman. Brother Wu, please don't be fooled by this vixen!"

"Brother Wu, if you don't believe me, I..." Yuezhi said with a hint of cruelty in her eyes, "I am willing to die to prove my loyalty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuezhi crashed into the pillar beside him.

Jing Wu has been with King Jing for many years and is very experienced in this kind of thing.

He raised his hand and grabbed Yuezhi's collar.

Seeing that her plan had failed, Yuezhi simply burst into tears.

"Brother Wu, you know I'm sincere to you. I'm willing to die for you!"

"You must believe me!"

Zhao Wu was obviously used to hearing Yuezhi's swearing and cursing, so his expression didn't show much emotion at this moment.

However, the people watching the show had different expressions when they thought of their brother-sister relationship.

Although they are not biological siblings, I heard that Zhao's parents raised them as their own children.

Now, talking about these things about life and death is really disgusting.

Suici was also stunned for a moment before she said, "Zhao Wu, it was your sister who threatened me!"

"She specifically asked me to come over and humiliate her, saying that if I didn't please her, she would find ways to prevent anyone from marrying you and would even expose our affair... I didn't want to make a fuss and just wanted to keep the peace, so I gave her a bracelet to appease her."

"You know I'm a coward, how dare you hurt me?"

"Your sister is a domineering and aggressive person. How dare I order her around? Or let her do something like poisoning?"

"She deliberately hurt me!"

The crying sounds of the two people rang in Zhao Wu's ears, and Zhao Wu felt like his head was about to explode.

He secretly glanced at the princes and princesses at the top, all of whom looked very majestic. Then he thought of the scene when Jing Wu tortured him, and he could no longer hold on and knelt on the ground.

"I dare not lie. Suici is timid and has a good temper. I don't think she would do anything threatening."

Zhao Wu's lips moved, "It's Yuezhi, she's been domineering since she was little. I didn't like her from the first time I saw Suici. I know all about the times she made things difficult for me."

"Sui Ci can't possibly order her around."

"Yuezhi isn't someone who's greedy for money... She asked Suici for the bracelet, either to ask for money or to deliberately embarrass Suici."

After saying that, Zhao Wu knelt on the ground with his head in his hands and cried bitterly.

He was telling the truth this time.

It’s not that I’m really partial to anyone, but I’m just scared!

How could he not be terrified when two women around him were involved in a life-threatening matter and he had to make a choice?!

Suici was also wiping away tears silently.

She never thought that Zhao Wu would choose her. After all, Yuezhi was her sister who grew up with her.

Xie Run smiled and said, "Why are you crying?"

"Since Zhao Wu has chosen to believe in the broken porcelain, the prince will personally grant you the marriage and allow you to marry him in a formal ceremony..."

"No!" Yuezhi suddenly screamed.

Her eyes were red and full of cruelty, "Brother Wu, you are not allowed to marry her!"

"Why didn't you choose me?!" Yuezhi suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Wu's clothes, and shook him madly: "You and I grew up together, why didn't you choose me?!"

"You were so nice to me before, but now you want me to die for this vixen?!"

"She seduced you!"

"Why can't I marry you, but she can?" Yuezhi screamed, "Just because I'm your sister?"

"But when did I say I wanted to be your sister?!"

After hearing this love-hate story, Xie Run saw that it was almost over, so he calmly delivered a fatal blow, "Yuezhi, although you are unfaithful, as your master, I cannot help but be kind."

Xie Run's eyebrows were covered with a faint smile.

If you look closely, you can see he is smiling, but if you look even more closely, you can feel a chill all over your body.

"Your Highness, why not let Yuezhi be punished for two days later? At least wait until she meets Zhao Wu and Suici and enters the bridal chamber before punishing her?"

Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.

Everyone looked at Xie Run with a hint of fear in their eyes.

When Lian Fangyuaner heard her words, the alertness in her eyes became very strong.

Xie Run seems to be a gentle and harmless person, but now he will not only not take action, but once he does, he will kill and destroy the person's heart.

Sure enough, Yuezhi heard this and shouted, "I don't want it!"

"I wish this bitch would die. I'd rather die than watch her marry Brother Wu!"

Yuezhi rushed towards the guard beside her like crazy.

The guard subconsciously drew his sword to block.

There was no fear in Yuezhi's eyes, and she just kept pushing her neck towards the knife.

It was Jing Wu who reacted in time and raised his hand to grab Yuezhi by the back of the collar.

But it's still a little late.
