AWB Chapter 110 Is there any evidence?
Chapter 110 Is there any evidence?
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Shen Shuyi was neither hurried nor slow, his expression calm.
"I can understand how mother feels at the moment, but as the mistress of the Shen residence, how can mother only listen to one side of the story? Is it because the third sister is mother's biological daughter, and I am not?"
After these words, the girl straightened her back, her eyes became moist, and she looked stubborn and cold.
Qin Xuerong was stunned for a few seconds. She probably didn't expect that at this critical moment, Shen Shuyi would be able to outwit her.
But when everyone around heard this, they just felt that Shen Shuyi was right.
After all, they had seen the whole process with their own eyes. After hearing Shen Jingzhen's accusation, Qin Xuerong immediately scolded and questioned Shen Shuyi. Even if she was anxious, she should distinguish right from wrong and find out the truth.
It can be said that Zhao Baokun is the one who is least afraid of offending the Shen family. After all, since his aunt passed away and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion fell into decline, the so-called in-laws of the Shen family had long since shown an attitude that they were eager to sever ties with them.
So why should we talk about feelings?
"You can't blame Madam Shen for this. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your cousin's biological mother for passing away early. Otherwise, why would she have to go to a Buddhist temple to practice asceticism for five years?"
This sarcastic remark was pointed out here, causing everyone to look at Qin Xuerong with more doubt.
Although many people in Beijing knew that the Shen family had a legitimate daughter left by the original wife, who had to go to a Buddhist temple to recuperate because of poor health, when they heard about it again in this situation, they found it quite intriguing.
Qin Xuerong was very angry. She never expected that the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, which had been peaceful for so many years, seemed to have gone crazy since Shen Shuyi came back.
Qin Xuerong forced herself to calm down, forced a smile at Shen Shuyi, and choked up and said, "Sister Yi, how mother has treated you over the years, others don't know, don't you know it yourself? It's just that sister Zhen was wronged, and mother was anxious for a moment, so she lost her composure."
Faced with these words, Shen Shuyi naturally could not accuse his mother of anything wrong.
As the saying goes, 'a son should not criticize his father's faults'. Whether Qin Xuerong did a good job or not is one thing, and what others think of her is another. But if she really spoke ill of Qin Xuerong in front of so many people, the word 'filial piety' alone would be enough to crush her, and even her reason would become unreasonable.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Mother is anxious to seek justice for the third sister. Shuyi understands that. But since the third sister fell into the water, I have been running around, just wanting to find someone to save her as soon as possible. How could I push her into the water?"
Shen Jingzhen's eyes were red as she looked straight at Shen Shuyi, her voice carrying some chill in it: "At that time, the cat pounced on us, and my second sister pushed me into the lake in desperation. I can understand that, but..."
Having said that, the group looked at Shen Shuyi with a bit more scrutiny.
After all, pushing one's own sister into the lake is not something that a kind person would do.
Shen Shuyi was not panicked, but just said: "The Dali Temple still requires evidence to solve cases. Since Third Sister has misunderstood me so much, I would like to ask, does Third Sister have any evidence?"
This one sentence left Shen Jingzhen speechless.
She thought that Shen Shuyi would be speechless in such a situation, but she never expected that Shen Shuyi had no intention of defending himself, but instead threw the problem back to her.
"At that time, I wanted to have some private conversation with my second sister, so the maid didn't follow me, but who would have thought..." Shen Jingzhen stuttered.
Shen Shuyi looked straight at her with his almond-shaped eyes, his brows were filled with coldness and clarity: "So, Third Sister has neither witnesses nor evidence?"
Shen Jingzhen was very angry. She had never encountered a situation like today.
Shen Shuyi said calmly, "The lakeside is slippery. Even if the cat pounces on you and me, I can just dodge. Why should I push my third sister into the lake? Besides, if I really push my third sister, I will also be in danger of falling into the lake. Isn't that stupid?"
"Besides, when a cat pounces on you, people's instinct is to avoid it. Even if I was frightened and anxious and wanted to pull my third sister to block it, I should have pulled her in front of me instead of pushing her into the lake."
Shen Shuyi's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and were well-reasoned and well-founded.
Everyone followed her line of thought and thought it made sense. When people encounter danger, their instinct is to dodge. If they cannot dodge, shameless people will indeed grab the person next to them to block them.
But how could someone, when faced with danger, not only not grab people to protect themselves, but instead push people to another place?
Seeing Shen Jingzhen being humiliated, Wang Xiao also felt happy and couldn't help but taunt her: "Maybe Second Miss Shen wanted to save people, so she pushed Third Miss Shen away. Unexpectedly, Third Miss Shen turned the tables on her!"
Shen Jingzhen's face turned red. She felt totally humiliated to be ridiculed like that!
Shen Jingzhen was very angry and choked up, "Nothing is absolute. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so how can you judge?"
Wang Xiao said bluntly: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I risked my life to save you! In the end, didn't I get a revenge from Miss Third?"
Seeing Wang Xiao's support, the group felt that what he said was right.
No matter what they were arguing about before, whether reputation or life was more important, at least he was a young man from a noble family, and he risked his life and came back personally to rescue you, exhausted.
As a result, you didn't even say a word of thanks, but instead belittled and despised him in every way.
It is really doubtful how good the character of such a person can be.
Before Shen Shuyi could speak, Yao Huiyan, who had been following Madam Wang, also stood up and said softly, "I believe Sister Shuyi is not such a person."
Mrs. Wang was stunned to see her niece speaking up for Shen Shuyi.
Yao Huiyan explained calmly, "A few days ago, I came to the capital to seek refuge with my aunt. I wanted to buy her a piece of jewelry as a gift from Linlang Pavilion to show my appreciation."
"I never thought that the shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion would be so contemptuous of me when he saw my simple clothes. He even made things difficult for me and even accused me of stealing things from Linlang Pavilion. Fortunately, Sister Shuyi helped me to seek justice for me."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xiao were a little surprised.
Mrs. Wang naturally loved her brother's children very much, but she had never heard her mention such a thing.
Although Wang Xiao did not have deep feelings for his cousin, she was intelligent, polite, tactful, and treated him well, so he would naturally believe what she said.
Yao Huiyan's eyes fell on everyone and she continued, "At that time, I had just arrived in the capital, I had no one to rely on, and my clothes were simple. Sister Shuyi still stood up for me and sought justice. I don't believe such a person would push his own sister into the lake."
Yao Huiyan's words made everyone more convinced of Shen Shuyi's words.
After all, this girl from the Wang family was indeed unfamiliar to her. She had never been seen in Beijing before, and many people at the banquet had also heard Mrs. Wang's introduction. There was no need for Yao Huiyan to lie for an irrelevant person.
