Chapter 285 1 transaction
"Zhong Huai, I really don't know what's going on!"
In the room, Shen Junru knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Sitting on the chair opposite her was Sun Zhonghuai.
"I used to have some contact with him, but it ended a long time ago. I came here today to make things clear with him, but I passed out after drinking a sip of tea. When I woke up, I was already... I knew it was Sanlang of the Lu family who was plotting against me. It must be like this. You have to listen to my explanation!"
Sun Zhonghuai sighed lightly and said calmly:
"Miss Shen, if you don't want to marry me, just tell me and I'll naturally agree. You've done this and damaged the reputation of both families. It's really not worth it."
"No! No no! I want to marry you! Zhong Huai, I really like you and want to marry you. I really don't know what's going on."
"Then I'll take you to the government office to report him and have him arrested?"
Sun Zhonghuai raised his eyelids, looked at Shen Junru, and made a gesture to stand up.
"You can't report to the official!"
If she reported it to the police, her reputation would be ruined. Even if Shen Junru was not in a clear mind, she still understood this. If Lu Sanlang had been more resolute and agreed to marry her, it would have been fine.
But he just ran away like that!
She was really blind and her brain was confused to do such a thing! Now Sun Zhonghuai, she absolutely cannot let go.
"Zhong Huai,"
Shen Junru choked up, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say, "I know everything about you."
Sun Zhonghuai glanced at Shen Junru suspiciously, and saw her reach out and dip her hand in tea to write the word "Su" on the table. In an instant, Sun Zhonghuai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked coldly:
"Who told you that!"
"Lu Sanlang, that's what Sanlang just said. Zhong Huai, I have no ill intentions, I just want to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
"Sanlang, I will never tell anyone about you and His Royal Highness Prince Su. Not only that, our Shen family can help you support His Royal Highness Prince Su. Really, not only the Shen family, as long as you need it, my uncles can also help you."
"what would you like?"
"I don't ask for much. I just ask that you let me marry you and be a couple in name only. As long as you help me save face, I will take good care of and be filial to Mr. Sun and his wife. Really, I swear."
She can't let her reputation be ruined, absolutely not!
As long as she can save face, she will do anything.
“That’s a really good idea.”
Sun Zhonghuai narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes! This will not only preserve my reputation, but you will also gain the full support of our Shen family. This is a win-win outcome! Uh!..."
Seeing that Sun Zhonghuai's expression had relaxed, Shen Junru quickly struck while the iron was hot and explained the benefits of this matter, but before she could finish her words, her throat was suddenly clamped by a hand.
Sun Zhonghuai, who was always gentle as jade, now looked like a devil who was seeking death. He stared at her grimly, and his hands were getting tighter and tighter.
In the room originally used for trysts, the light was dim and ambiguous, with warm incense curling up from the stove. The room that should have been warm and affectionate was now filled with murderous intent.
"Zhong… Huai, what… are you going to do? Let go, let go… of me…"
Shen Junru was surrounded by the fear of death, her chest was gasping violently due to suffocation, and she wanted to struggle but couldn't break free.
"Miss Shen, to be honest, I chose you because of your family background, hoping that you could help His Royal Highness Prince Su in the future. Originally, if you had behaved yourself, we could have been a respectful couple in the backyard. Even if you had an affair with someone behind my back, I would have turned a blind eye. But..."
Sun Zhonghuai frowned, squatted down and whispered in Shen Junru's ear,
"But you should never use Prince Su's Palace to threaten me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without giving Shen Junru any chance to argue, he exerted force with his hand and broke Shen Junru's slender neck.
Shen Junru, who was so charming just now, has collapsed limply on the ground.
At the same time, there was a clang sound, and a figure was thrown in from the door. He fell to the ground and fell right next to Shen Junru's body. It was Lu Sanlang who had just escaped.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Old Zhao grabbed his collar and pushed him into the corner.
Seeing Shen Junru's body at this moment, he was immediately frightened out of his wits and shouted:
"Sun Zhonghuai, you are crazy!"
As he said this, he turned over and got up from the ground and was about to rush out, but Old Zhao's burly body blocked the door and pushed him back.
"Sun Zhonghuai, Brother Sun, Zhonghuai, I, I was wrong! She is a slut. She seduced me. Not satisfied with the marriage proposal with you, she even wrote to me and asked me to meet her here. Really, really!"
Lu Sanlang hurriedly took out a piece of letter from his pocket and handed it to Sun Zhonghuai.
"Brother Sun, please let me go. I'm a victim just like you! This woman is dead, and I won't tell anyone."
Sun Zhonghuai glanced at Lu Sanlang and said coldly to Old Zhao:
"Uncle Zhao, this pair of adulterers met in this courtyard, got into an argument, and ended up arguing. Mr. Lu strangled Ms. Shen to death, and Ms. Shen, in her dying struggle, stabbed Mr. Lu to death with a hairpin."
"Master, I understand."
Old Zhao lifted his sleeves, picked up Shen Junru's hairpin from the ground, and walked towards Lu Jia Sanlang step by step.
Sun Zhonghuai walked out of the room, and behind him he heard Lu Sanlang's terrified curse:
"Sun Zhonghuai, you don't want a future anymore! You...ah!"
Looking at the flowers blooming in the yard in the night, swaying gracefully, the moonlight fell on Sun Zhonghuai like water, making his figure even more cold and desolate.
"Future? My future is all tied to His Highness. If he succeeds, I succeed. If he doesn't, what's the point of having this future?"
"His Highness must take that position and will not tolerate even the slightest questioning. There are some things he can't do, so let me do it for him."
……
Early morning, Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Xu Jing was drawing her eyebrows and putting on makeup in front of the mirror when Shuang Hong hurried in and whispered something in her ear.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes!" Shuanghong took the comb and began to tie Xu Jing's hair. "The body was discovered by Miss Shen's maid. According to her confession, Miss Shen accepted a love letter from Lu Sanlang and went to the courtyard to meet him. Right now, both the Lu and Shen families are in turmoil."
"Humph, Shen Junru spoke rudely to me in Zhenbaozhai, she deserved to die."
"Miss, this matter won't involve us, right?" Shuanghong was a little panicked. After all, the letter to Sanlang Lu was forged by them.
"Why panic!"
Xu Jing glared at Shuang Hong. "Didn't the government say that? They were murdered in a fight of passion. What does it have to do with others? Such a lewd man and woman deserve to die!"
Shuanghong was choked and responded with a stammer.
Sun Mansion.
Old Madam Sun sighed and sat opposite Sun Zhonghuai.
"I never thought Miss Shen would be such a person. I clearly thought she was a very good and well-behaved child. How could she do such a promiscuous thing? It's really... really..."
The old lady wanted to find some words to describe it, but she was at a loss for words. Thinking that such a woman almost became her granddaughter-in-law, she was really scared.
"Grandma, it's better to see it clearly now than after you get married." Sun Zhonghuai was reading a book calmly.
"That's right." Madam Sun nodded heavily. "Don't worry, grandson. I will definitely keep my eyes open next time and help you find a suitable candidate."
