Chapter 45 Thirty Strike

Shen Ning sneered coldly: "You want to say that the person who ruined my innocence was not the regent, but you?" Qin Yanshu was shocked and looked at her in disbelief. "Qin Yanshu, do you really think that no one knows about the despicable things you did?" Shen Ning's eyes were like knives, sharp and cold, "But since you came to my door, I can't pretend that nothing happened." After saying that, she turned around and ordered: "Come here!" The guards outside the Linzhi Hall quickly came to the yard and knelt on one knee: "Princess." Qin Yanshu turned around and looked at the guards. Shen Ning has only been married for a few days, and they are so respectful to her? "Qin Yanshu has been disrespectful to this princess again and again, calling this princess by her name, and also plotting to ruin my innocence in the suburbs. You pull him over and beat him with a stick thirty times." Shen Ning ordered coldly, "After beating him, send him back to the Qin family and say that I gave the order." "Yes!" Shen Ning got up and walked out of the pavilion after she finished speaking, no longer paying attention to Qin Yanshu who was dragged aside by the guards, and walked straight to the door of the bedroom. Pushing the door open and seeing Ji Yucang standing in front of the window, Shen Ning frowned slightly: "Didn't I tell you to rest?"

"There's a good show to watch, so I'll watch it first." Ji Yucang smiled faintly, "The guards in the palace are very respectful to you."

Shen Ning was silent for a moment and guessed: "Maybe it's because when I practiced martial arts with them, they were shocked by my martial arts?"

Ji Yucang laughed: "It should be because of your talent."

After all, everyone can learn martial arts, but not many people can make rapid progress in a few days.

Shen Ning's performance in the training ground for half a month is enough to be called a leap forward, enough to convince all martial artists.

Shen Ning looked at him seriously, looking at the face in front of him, which was pale and sickly but still could not hide his handsomeness.

Ji Yucang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when she looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Shen Ning asked calmly: "Did you let people spread those messy rumors in the streets?"

Ji Yucang said: "Why do you think so?"

"People say you are cruel and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye. Without your permission, who dares to make up rumors about you without any evidence?"

Ji Yucang was silent for a while after hearing this.

"Actually, it's not necessary." Shen Ning turned his head and looked out the window. "I never care about reputation. What people outside say and how they view this marriage are all outsiders' business. The more you care about what others say, the more painful it will be." "This king is just thinking about himself." Ji Yucang said, "I don't want those people to look at me with pity and say that this king married an impure woman. If they knew that this king was the one who ruined your innocence, they would think that we should be together as a matter of course, because I ruined your innocence and you can only marry me." Shen Ning shook his head: "In this way, the dozen lives will also be counted on your head." "So they are just talking, there is no evidence." Shen Ning quietly looked at the scene of Qin Yanshu being caned outside the window: "Qin Yanshu came to clarify tonight. He said that everything on the mountain outside the suburbs was done by him." Ji Yucang's voice was cold: "So he should be caned thirty times." Shen Ning didn't say anything. Thirty canes were far from enough. Everyone thought that Shen Ning's innocence was only lost, but only she knew that the real Shen Ning was killed. So Qin Yanshu must also pay with his life.

As for the dozen innocent maids and guards who died tragically, the lives of the entire Qin family should be used to pay for it.

The Qin family must die out before they can repay this debt of life.

In the courtyard, the sound of caning became duller and duller.

Qin Yanshu's face was pale, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

He clung to the spring stool tightly, looking up at the door of the bedroom, as if looking through the door at the person he wanted to see.

But until the thirty canes were over and he was dragged out by the guards of the palace, Shen Ning still did not show up.

"Ning'er, Ning'er! I was wrong!" Qin Yanshu struggled to speak, his voice full of pain and pleading, "Come out and see me, Ning'er, you...you forgive me! I like you, Ning'er!"

The two guards dragged him out.

Shen Ning was silent for a long time: "How many generations has the Qin family been in Shengjing?"

Ji Yucang raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Qin Yanshu doesn't look like a nobleman raised in a century-old family."

"There are no aristocratic families in Shengjing. Those people are just flattering themselves and calling them nice." Ji Yucang said indifferently, "Yongguo was founded less than a hundred years ago, and it has only been three generations of emperors since the current emperor. The founding heroes of the year were killed or demoted. The daughters of all the meritorious officials in the three palaces and six courtyards of the ancestor emperor did not give birth to children. On the contrary, some officials with low official titles successfully gave birth to princes and princesses. My mother was the daughter of a small county magistrate. "Shen Ning's eyebrows showed deep thought: "After the late emperor ascended the throne, were all the daughters of low-level officials in the three palaces and six courtyards?" "No." Ji Yucang's voice was indifferent, "The founding emperor killed too many people, but he also needed to select a large number of talents. Qin Guojiu was the top scholar in the ancestor's 30-year examination. He successfully entered the officialdom and became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for more than ten years. After another ten years, his daughter entered the palace for selection, and he has come to this day step by step. "Shen Ning understood. So the Qin family can be regarded as a low-level family, and Qin Guojiu can be regarded as the first generation of the Qin family to create a family business. "Are you interested in the history of the Yong Kingdom?" Shen Ning shook his head: "I'm not interested. I just think that Madam Qin doesn't look like a noble lady from a noble family, and Qin Yanshu doesn't look like a noble son trained by a noble family, so I asked casually, without any other meaning. "Ji Yucang hummed and said no more.

"How did you get through the poison attack before?" Shen Ning turned to look at him, "Just stay in the room alone and endure it?"

Ji Yucang nodded: "Before finding the real antidote, you can only endure it."

"Do you think you can find the antidote?"

"Do your best and leave it to fate." Ji Yucang said, "If the heaven wants to kill me, there is no reason not to obey."

Shen Ning's eyes were strange: "I didn't realize you are still a person who accepts fate."

Ji Yucang was stunned, and he didn't know what he suddenly thought of. He was silent for a long time before saying: "If you encounter something, will you accept your fate?"

"No." Shen Ning answered without thinking, "There is nothing in this world that can make me accept my fate. As long as I am alive, I will not give up turning the tables."
