Chapter 114 Willing to Try
Shen Jing'an frowned and said nothing, thinking that Shen Jinglin was really spoiled, which was why he was so lawless.
In the current situation, Prince Duan's family has no place to vent their anger. If they are not allowed to vent it, there will only be more troubles later.
Since his father and mother had pleaded for mercy, he could only be the bad guy.
Otherwise, Prince Duan's family would be even more angry, and not only would Shen Jinglin suffer, but even his father would be implicated.
And now, he still doesn't know why the Chai family is targeting him like this. How did he offend the third prince? Or did he have a grudge with the Chai family?
When Shen Jing'an thought of this, he felt depressed and suffocated.
At this time, the guards had stepped forward and dragged Shen Jinglin aside.
Shen Jinglin was not very frightened. After all, the spoiled child had no idea what twenty strokes of the cane meant.
He just felt that the generals and commanders in the storybooks had all suffered injustice to varying degrees, and that he was also suffering from injustice.
Shen Shuyi stood aside and watched quietly.
When the two boards fell, Shen Jinglin's face turned pale and a layer of sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.
The burning pain on his buttocks almost made him feel like his legs were broken. The pain was much worse than he had imagined.
Qin Xuerong was crying her heart out and no longer cared about her image as a lady from a noble family.
She cried and wanted to go forward, but the maids and servants in the palace stopped her.
"Lin'er! Lin'er!"
Shen Jingchuan pursed his lips and turned his face away. Even though he felt distressed, he also blamed Shen Jinglin for the trouble.
"Mother! Mother...it hurts! Help me!"
After a few beatings with the board, the guards of the palace did not show any mercy at all.
These people in particular obviously know better which type of beating is more painful and cruel.
Before long, Shen Jinglin's lips began to tremble, his face turned pale, and the sweat on his body soaked his clothes, making him look like he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Princess, please spare me... Lin'er is still young, that's why he is so ignorant! Please be merciful and spare him this time!"
Qin Xuerong knelt down and begged Princess Xiangduan. Her delicate makeup had already become mottled, her hair was disheveled, and her body was stained with a lot of water stains from Shen Jingzhen's body. She looked in a miserable state.
Princess Duan just looked at her coldly: "Hua'er is only two or three years younger than him. Now Hua'er's life or death is uncertain. How can you have the face to plead for your son!"
With just one sentence, Qin Xuerong had no reason to speak anymore.
Shen Jinglin was in so much pain, his face was covered with tears, and he stared at Qin Xuerong: "Mother... Mother! Save me... Save me..."
Qin Xuerong was heartbroken, but she could only watch this scene helplessly.
“Second brother…Second brother!!!”
"Dad! I am your biological son..."
Shen Jinglin spoke with a sob, and placed his hopes on Shen Jingan and Shen Jingchuan, staring at the direction of the two.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and Shen Jinglin's wailing gradually subsided.
Seeing that nearly ten boards had been struck, Shen Jinglin burst into tears and his cries became intermittent.
Just when he was in despair, Shen Shuyi took a step forward, looked at Prince Duan's family, and said in a deep voice: "My brother was reckless and ignorant, and disturbed His Royal Highness. I was fortunate to study pharmacology when I was in the Jade Buddha Temple. Although I am not proficient in it, I happened to have seen this kind of disease. Perhaps you can let me give it a try, and I hope I can make up for it."
Prince Duan and his companions originally thought that Shen Shuyi was just begging for mercy and had no patience at all.
But until she finished speaking, Prince Duan's wife was the first to react. She grabbed her arm, stared at her with red eyes and asked anxiously: "Are you saying that you have a way to get Hua'er out of danger?"
Shen Shuyi was neither humble nor arrogant. He looked directly at Prince Duan's wife with his clear eyes and a calm gaze.
"I am 60 to 70 percent sure, so I am willing to give it a try."
Prince Duan frowned and said in a cold voice: "You, the Shen family, really surprise me. Lord Zhao, the imperial physician in the palace, couldn't do it, and you, a young boy, dare to speak so shamelessly!"
Princess Duan also said: "Shen Shuyi, even if you want to plead for your brother, you shouldn't use such lies to deceive me! What do you think of my grandson!"
Shen Jingchuan was already full of rage, and when he saw Shen Shuyi rashly stand up and even brag, he became even more angry until his eyes turned red.
"Sister Yi! Stop messing around and get out of here!"
Shen Shuyi did not retreat because of the rebukes from several people. Everyone saw that under the bright sunlight, the girl was wearing a purple ruqun of Xiangfei and looked calm.
Her back was straight, and the soft purple color made her cold white skin look like jade. Although her small face, the size of a palm, was a little thin, she was already very beautiful. The most unforgettable thing was her eyes, which were clear and bright, with a sense of detachment and elegance, like a solitary orchid in a valley, or a white cloud at night, which made people's hearts calm down.
"The young grandson's life is in danger, and I am willing to give it a try to make amends. If it fails, I am willing to take the remaining few strokes on behalf of Lin Ge'er."
As soon as Shen Shuyi said this, there was an uproar around him.
Shen Jinglin stared blankly in the direction of Shen Shuyi. He obviously didn't expect that the one who was willing to risk her life to save him was actually this illegitimate half-sister!
Qin Xuerong was even more stunned. She looked at Shen Shuyi in surprise. She also couldn't believe that Shen Shuyi would be willing to risk his life to save Lin Ge'er.
No, she must have some other conspiracy!
Everything that happened today must have been her doing!
Qin Xuerong almost bit her teeth to pieces, but she knew that now was not the time to speak. After all, perhaps the only one who could save Lin Ge'er now was Shen Shuyi.
Mrs. Wang looked at this scene and completely believed what Yao Huiyan said before. She couldn't help but say, "No matter what, Second Miss Shen really repays evil with virtue and has a noble character."
Another lady also nodded and agreed, "That's right. Madam Shen just now accused her of pushing Third Miss Shen without knowing the truth. I didn't expect that she would let bygones be bygones and be willing to take the punishment on behalf of her brother."
"I think among all the people in the Shen family, only Miss Shen is worth making friends with. Regardless of whether she is right or wrong, at least she is the only one who admits her mistakes frankly and is willing to bear the consequences."
Prime Minister Wu also nodded at the side: "It seems that there are still some sensible people in the Shen family, and they are not completely rotten to the core."
Shen Jingchuan's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi, who was not afraid of everyone's gaze and looked calm and open, and his eyes were a little complicated.
After so many years, he actually didn't take his daughter seriously, but he didn't expect that when everyone was pointing fingers at her, she would be willing to stand up and take the blame for her son.
Listening to what everyone said, Prince Duan and Princess Duan looked at Shen Shuyi with a little more scrutiny, and seemed a little shaken.
Shen Shuyi was neither hurried nor slow. She just looked at the Princess Consort of Prince Duan who was closest to her, waiting for her decision.
She believed that perhaps others would not agree, but as the mother of the little grandson, Prince Duan's wife would definitely agree.
