Chu Wang Fei

by Ning er

  After these sentences fell down, that Su furen’s face paled. Her forehead is in cold sweats. Her body also began to tremble. She just heard that her daughter fell into water and also heard from the discussion that it’s related to Yun Qian Meng. So she hastily ran over to calculate the matter with her. Turned out that this Yun Qian Meng is so tough, clever and eloquent. After some words fell down, she also has been pushed into the matter and also slandered her family’s daren. How can her heart to be stricken?

  And those furens and Misses, whom has been said to be blind, aren’t also people to take lightly. They testified for Yun Qian Meng and accused Su furen of blaming the innocent.

  For a time, the front yard was noisy. Only in Chu Fei Yang’s eyes laughter can be seen. Rong Yun He also leisurely at down again. And in Chen wang’s eyes, doubt was hidden…….

  Chapter 60: Pay a High Price for Harming My Family | Chu Wang Fei

  My favorite character is here ^^.

  “What are you doing?”

  At this time, a middle aged man wearing blue robe rushed over. He glared once fiercely at Su furen on the ground. Then he quickly glances at Chen wang, Jiang Mu Chen. He said in a low voice: “What matter can’t wait till we go back to the fu to discuss it? Why must you be a disgrace in front of everyone? Do you know that today’s Lao Tai Jun’s birthday? If you make Lao Tai Jun unhappy, can you take that one yourself?”

  Su furen has been reprimanded by her own husband without reason. Her heart felt many grievances, but she still didn’t dare to get up. She only can raise her head to look at Su Yuan. With a sad voice, she said: “Daren, is this qie’s1 fault? Because Yue er fell into the water, she is lying with fever in bed. But Miss Yun is persistently refusing to admit her mistake. Instead, she taught qie a lesson. This is really difficult for qie.”

  After saying that, that Su furen seemed really afraid. She quickly lowered her body and didn’t speak anymore.

  The minister of justice, Su Yuan frowned. That pair of eyes tainted with hostility glared at Yun Qian Meng. Then he said while frowning a little: “Miss Yun, our two families are related. I can be considered your jiujiu. Qian Yue is your biaojie. Just what unpleasant things happened between you and biaojie that you need to push her into water? You know that women put most importance on their appearance. What motive do you have for trapping Yue er in such injustice? Did somebody instruct you? Today, if you say the name of that person behind you, jiujiu can assure you that this family scandal will never get out. Otherwise, come (people)!”

  While talking, Su Yuan began to shout at the guards to take Yun Qian Meng away.

  Qu Fei Qing saw that Su Yuan was so vicious and wanted to harm Yun Qian Meng, the pair of hands hidden under the sleeves turned into fists.

  The furens and Misses, whom just now were speaking for Yun Qian Meng, are aware of the use of torture by the minister of justice. They were somewhat afraid and shutted their mouth. They just stood at the side to watch.

  Yun Qian Meng’s gaze needs to pass through Chu Fei Yang and Jiang Mu Chen before it went to Su Yuan.

  Su Yuan was dressed in a golden sapphire robe of the officials of the second rank. It made him seem really imposing.

  It’s just that it was because Su Yuan has been the minister of justice for a long time that his body and eyes exuded deep strong aura. Moreover, there seemed to be a lingering smell of blood from the prison on his body, making Su Yuan look scary. No wonder those furens and Misses immediately shutted their mouths. Presumably, everyday, they didn’t hear any less of the fame of the minister of justice.

  And the dialogue between Su furen and Su Yuan just now, is to put the charges on Yun Qian Meng for pushing a person in water. The motive is really evident.

  But Su Yuan can be like this in front of Jiang Mu Chen and Chu Fei Yang, is presumably because there is someone more powerful than Yun Xuan Zhi behind him. Otherwise, with the relation between Su Yuan and Yun Xuan Zhi, surely he wouldn’t dare to let her be a disgrace in front of everyone. And just before Su Yuan opened his mouth to blame her, he glanced once at Chen wang. Althought, it’s only one glance, but it made people feel odd. And Chen wang also didn’t stop Su Yuan like how he stopped Su furen. This move also lets people wonder.

  However, Su Yuan’s shout didn’t get any guards, but it made Chu Fei Yang chuckle.

  Now it seems that he finally noticed Jiang Mu Chen and Chu Fei Yang. A bit frightened, he bowed to the two people and said respectfully: “Xiaguan2 was rude. I didn’t pay attention and didn’t see that wangye and Chu xiang are also here. I hope that you won’t blame me because I was worried about my daughter. As for my wife, she doesn’t know the rules and has offended you two. Please, asking wangye and Chu xiang to also forgive her.”

  Jiang Mu Chen was cold like always. He coldly swept his gaze over that minister of justice, Su Yuan without a word. His body is still standing in front of Su furen, blocking her.

  Chu Fei Yang’s lips slightly lifted. The perfect arc immediately calmed many ladies. And he himself didn’t care. He glanced once at Jiang Mu Chen and Su Yuan.

  That pair of eyes, blacker than ink, is smiling, making Su Yuan shiver a bit involuntarily. On his ear only sounded Chu Fei Yang’s light voice while asking: “Su daren’s family teaching is really good. You don’t even see what kind of place this is and let your wife use violence. Do you know, if this gets to the emperor’s ear, what the fate of Su daren will be? Surely, ben3xiang doesn’t need to remind you, Su daren as the minister of justice must’ve understood. The thousand and one punishment of the prison is really interesting.”

  Su Yuan felt that the volume of Chu Fei Yang’s voice isn’t high. His voice is moist. But why does he feel cold sweat forming on his back? In particular, Su Yuan is in the morning court together with Chu Fei Yang. Naturally, he knows Chu Fei Yang’s strategies. Normally, he is always smiling, but when on the battlefield, Chu Fei Yang is a cold-faced general. The skill of murdering a person without blinking an eye, has been seen by this minister of justice. He as the minister of justice who tortured many people, will also tremble at that sight.

  And now Chu Fei Yang is speaking for Yun Qian Meng. Su Yuan needed to weight this relationship very well. Should he vent the anger for his daughter and humiliate Yun Qian Meng in public or should he give Chu Fei Yang face and let the matter go?

  While thinking like that, Su Yuan’s eyes secretly looked at Jiang Mu Chen. He saw that Jiang Mu Chen didn’t have any sigh of interceding for Yun Qian Meng. His disturbed heart gradually returned to its place.

  Just now Su Yuan’s back was slightly curved. He actually straightened it up without anyone noticing. With an expression more gloomy than grilled meat, he looked at Chu Fei Yang. He said: “Xiangye, this is xiaguan’s family matter. P
lease asking xiangye to make it easy and let xiaguan get things clearly with this niece.”

  Yun Qian Meng saw that the other is entangling himself like snake around her. She gradually became angry. The smile one her face became more brilliant. She slowly stepped forward. Those sparkling eyes revealed an unattainable wisdom and they emitted a light. But they are also as cold as the winter snow. For a time, it let Su Yuan who thought that Yun Qian Meng is easy to bully, flashed surprise.

  “Thanks xiangye for your help.”

  The scene just now, Yun Qian Meng saw it. Although Chu Fei Yang’s words are slacking, but the meaning of those words is helping her.

  Yun Qian Meng’s logic has always been: if I get one slap, I’ll pay them back with ten slaps. Moreover, this case is just a fight between words. There’s no difficulty. Why should she be stingy? She can better be generous and let Su Yuan has a level of fear. This is also a good thing to her.

  It’s the same as Yun Qian Meng thought. Hearing her saying thanks, Su Yuan and Jiang Mu Chen, they both frowned at the same time. But Su Yuan’s gaze is on herself and Jiang Mu Chen gaze is hitting sparks with Chu Fei Yang’s gaze. It almost seemed like fireworks.

  Yun Qian Meng did as if she didn’t see the subtle reaction of these people. She looked smilingly at Su Yuan and calmly said: “What Su daren just said, let this little girl be very confused. Can Su daren point a thing or two out?”

  Su Yuan saw that Yun Qian Meng is still maintaining a calm expression, his heart was surprised. Especially when remembering about the past few days, xiaomei, Su Qing’s letters mentioning the change in Yun Qian Meng. He only said that Su Qing is oversensitive, but it seemed today, this Yun Qian Meng seemed to have reincarnated. Reincarnated into a different person. And also seeing that today there are many people present, his heart is more cautious. He is always himself that he shouldn’t be a fool in front of everyone.

  While thinking like that, Su Yuan’s exuded evilness. With a face full of loving smile, he looked at Yun Qian Meng. Gently, he asked: “Don’t know what niece doesn’t understand. Although you and I didn’t see each other often, but we’re still relatives. If niece has something that you don’t understand, you can directly ask. Don’t need to be so stiff.”

  Yun Qian Meng saw that Su Yuan is now pretending to be friendly, her heart felt disgust. She calmly asked: “My mother’s home is Fu Guo Gong Fu and the houye here is my real jiujiu. I don’t know since when Su fu’s Su daren has become my jiujiu. Can it be that you are separated from the fu, changed the ancestor’s surname and is unwilling to be a descendant of Qu family? This made little girl very puzzled. Asking Su daren to carefully explain and also let the furens and Misses present get more experience.”

  After those remarks, those furens and Misses held up their hands to block their lips. It’s just that those eyes, revealed their expressions. This Su daren has probably become everyone’s laughing stock.

  Su Yuan didn’t think that Yun Qian Meng will let him lose so much face in public. And he didn’t know that she will ridicule him in public. For a time, the smile on his face disappeared and put a vicious expression. The hatred in his eyes is enough to let Yun Qian Meng die eight to ten times.

  However, although Su Yuan is angry, he also knows that gossip is a fearful thing. If this matter isn’t properly handled, he fears that the censor who has nothing to do, will send a dagger to him in front of the emperor about wronging an innocent lady. By then, even if he can keep the position of the minister of justice, his reputation will have been shattered.

  It’s just that this Yun Qian Meng in front of him is really hateful. He pointed all fingers at her just now, but she is able to save herself like that. It can be seen that if this woman isn’t removed, he is afraid that she will be a threat to his xiaomei, Su Qing.

  Thinking like that, Su Yuan’s expression turned more serious. The words coming out of his mouth are now more irritating: “Since Miss Yun doesn’t recognize the affection between you and me, then benguan4 doesn’t need to give Miss Yun face. Just one thing, benguan will not let the matter of my daughter falling into water today, go.

  “How will daren not let it go? Is it that you are using the torture from prison against little girl or is it that you are going to frame little girl? Moreover, just now, I have said everything clearly to Su furen. If you don’t have evidence, you must not casually frame people. Moreover, daren is the minister of justice. You can’t be suspicious of someone so easily. If it’s so, does daren think that the emperor will still be at ease to let daren deal with the cases? Can it be that the emperor isn’t afraid that daren will be swayed by personal connections, judge the case wrongly and arrest the wrong person? Or is it that Su furen and Su daren saw little girl push Miss Su into the lake? Or is there a witness or evidence?”

  Yun Qian Meng saw that Su Yuan became ruthless. She didn’t want to lose, she immediately began a battle of words with him.

  When the war of words fell down, the hearts of everyone are praising this Miss of xiangfu for her eloquent tongue. They also generated a sense of disgust for Su Yuan who got his position as the minister of justice through connections.

  Although Su Yuan’s isn’t a match for Yun Qian Meng at a battle of words, but after all, he has been the minister of justice for so many years. He is well versed in all means of interrogation. He looked at Yun Qian Meng and suddenly smiled insidiously. He asked: “What if there’s evidence and witnesses? Miss Yun pushing people into water is the same as murder. This is a severe offense. I don’t know if by that time, Miss Yun can still be so tough.”

  Yun Qian Meng saw that the other apparently came prepared; she actually felt it’s very funny. She didn’t get angry. Her heart is very calm. Suddenly, she increased her volume and said to the crowd: “Today, every furen and Miss is present, Chu xiang is present, Chen wang is present. I ask everyone to testify for Qian Meng. I’d like to see what that evidence and witness of Su daren are that you can be so sure.”

  While talking, Yun Qian Meng took a few steps forward. She doesn’t need Chu Fei Yang and Jiang Mu Chen’s protection. She stood in front of Su Yuan. That pair of eyes full of cheerful determination looked straight at Su Yuan, waiting for him to come with the evidence.

  But how can Su Yuan be afraid of a little girl? He smiled coldly towards Yun Qian Meng. He took a flower shaped jade pendant from his sleeves. That jade was wrapped in lavender colored silk. It’s obviously a pendant worn by women on their waist.

  Everyone’s eyes looked at Yun Qian Meng. She is dressed in purple today. For a time, everyone discussed. It seemed very unfavorable for Yun Qian Meng.

  What Su Yuan wants is this effect. Sometimes, pressing a suspect may not let the suspect confess, but the pressure of the public can defeat the physiological denfense of the suspect. The suspect will then easily surrender.

  But Su Yuan don’t know that Yun Qian Meng was the head of the narcotics department in her past life. This kind of childish trick is just ridiculous in her eyes. She continued to smile at Su Yuan without speaking and let everyone point at her leisurely.

  In contrary, it was Su Yuan who was stunned. He didn’t think that Yun Qian Meng will still have the gall to be so cunning and dared to use silence to deal with him. He opened his mouth to interrogate: “Miss Yun must recognize this jade pendant. It’s just that I don’t know why Miss Yun’s pendant has been tightly grabbed in the hand of my daughter. Presumably, when my daughter was pushed into water, she took it form Miss’s body.”

  After that remark, the front yard roared. Those furens, Misses and gentlemen, all looked at Yun Qian Meng. They saw that the beauty wasn’t afraid.

  Chen wang’s cold eyes also looked at Yun Qian Meng. Chu Fei Yang is also staring at Yun Qian Meng. His eyes are shining with curiosity. Presumably, he is looking forward to the next excuse of Yun Qian Meng.

  Yun Qian Meng looked at the jade pendant that is shining under the light. She also saw Su Yuan’s well thought expression. She didn’t explain, but asked: “Where is
the witness?”

  Su Yuan was slightly stunned. He is puzzled about this move of Yun Qian Meng. She is just a little girl who is fooling around. He fears that she won’t shed tears before seeing a coffin. So he fulfilled Yun Qian Meng’s curiosity. He shouted to behind him: “Miss Xing, please come out.”

  Xing Jin Die who rushed out of Huan Xi yuan to repair her make up, is now neatly dressed. She slowly walked out. At the same time, her mouth didn’t stop moving. While looking at Yun Qian Meng’s face, she has an expression of wanting to harm her (YQM).

  “I can testify. It was indeed Yun Qian Meng who pushed Yue jiejie into water. Furens, you’ve all been deceived by Yun Qian Meng. This woman is ruthless. She felt jealous of Yue jiejie and wanted to take her life. The heart is so vicious; really let me feel chill as a woman.”

  Yun Qian Meng looked at the Xing Jin Die, who does more harm than good. She felt that this whole thing is a farce. She also saw that Su Yuan wouldn’t give up before getting rid of herself, so she no longer retreated. She smiled coldly at Xing Jin Die and asked: “When Miss Su fell into water, Miss Xing was no longer in Huan Xi yuan. Could it be that Miss Xing is clairvoyant that you can hear the dialogue between I and Miss Su and also can see the moment when Miss Su fell into water? I actually didn’t know that in our Xi Chu country has such a talent as Miss Xing. When going to war, our Xi Chu will be invincible.”

  After some mock and ridicule, that little face full of make up of Xing Jin Die broke. The whole face suddenly turned grim. She hopped while pointing at Yun Qian Meng and scolded: “Yun Qian Meng, it’s obviously your poisonous hands! Now you are shamelessly denying! This is a despicable means and you are the eldest Miss of xiangfu! And your mother is a Miss of Fu Guo Gong Fu. Really let people look down on your mother’s family!”

  Really don’t know if this Xing Jin Die’s head also went into the lake and is now full of water. While talking she didn’t bother with the occasion and the place. She is simply pointing at Yun Qian Meng’s face and scolding Fu Guo gong Fu. For a time, everyone stopped their gaze from watching the spectacle. They walked back a few steps to not become a suffering fish. The moment Xing Jin Die’s words left her mouth, Su Yuan’s heart is calling bad.
