Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 107 The dangerous move of the army

Shen Li paused slightly when raising his foot, then returned to normal and walked into the Auspicious Building at a leisurely pace.

The ancients often said "enemies often meet in a narrow road", which is absolutely true.

Looking around the hall, Han Yunning, Yang Lijun, and a few others were most likely acquaintances.

Jiangdu City is big, but it's also a small place like a sesame seed. You'll bump into people everywhere, and it's hard to avoid them.

Is today an auspicious day to go out?

The one who mocked her was none other than Yang Lijun, the daughter of the Yang brothers and the granddaughter of Master Yang.

Logically speaking, Yang Lijun should call her cousin, but this cousin has always been arrogant.

She thought that she was not worthy of her position and was not worthy of being called sister by the Yang family's legitimate daughter. It seemed that calling her cousin would lower her status.

Shen Li seldom went out recently, so she had no idea what rumors were circulating outside.

At this moment, listening to Yang Lijun's sarcastic remarks, he felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that the story between her and Luo Cheng that night had already spread throughout Jiangdu City?

But on second thought, it doesn’t seem right.

Although she had never gone out, Xingping often walked around. If she knew, how could she not tell her?

Putting aside her doubts, she glanced at Yang Lijun and said sarcastically,

"Sister, I don't know when cousin Yang worshipped that four-legged yellow-eared creature as her master. How could her nose become so sensitive? She could even smell some imaginary smell? If that's the case, then wouldn't her eyes just be used as decoration?"

Someone in the corner burst into laughter.

Yang Lijun was so angry that she turned around and scolded, "What are you laughing at!?"

How dare you call her a dog nose!

He also implied that she was blind and that her eyes were used to vent her anger!

It was unknown which minor official's daughter the girl was who was scolded by Yang Lijun.

Seeing that Yang Lijun was angry, he didn't dare to say much, didn't choose the material, and hurriedly pulled the maid away from the battlefield to avoid being accidentally injured by the smoke.

Han Yunning sat on a wooden chair used for rest in the hall and glanced sideways at the woman standing at the entrance and talking to Yang Lijun.

She was wearing a light blue dress, the slanting sunlight was shining on her back, and from the moment she entered the door, she had a faint smile on her face.

He seemed lukewarm, soft and easy to handle like a piece of cotton, but his words made Yang Lijun suffer.

The more he looked at that naive face, the angrier Han Yunning felt. He secretly clenched the handkerchief in his hand, squeezing it so hard that his fingernails began to turn white.

She could have married the most enviable husband in Jiangdu City, Shen Beiqi, the famous Duke Jingguo of Southern Wu.

But because of Shen Li, everything became a joke.

Although this marriage has not been made public, the noble families are well aware of it.

Those noble ladies who had always disliked Han Yunning were now secretly mocking and insulting her behind her back.

Han Yunning curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer. This Shen Li actually had the ability to ask Shen Beiqi to interrupt the engagement between the Shen and Han families.

I really underestimated her!

Obviously, the one who is more shameless than her is Shen Li, who looks as pure as a little white flower.

Why should she be left alone to endure the ridicule and abuse?

Do you really think that Han Yunning is a clay figure with no temper?

After Han Yunning glanced at Shen Li deeply, her expression gradually returned to normal. When someone came up to talk to her, the smile on her face was still generous and appropriate.

On the other side, Shen Li didn't want to get entangled with Yang Lijun, so she took Xingping to change to another clothing store. Unexpectedly, Yang Lijun was relentless and blocked her way.

"When it comes to sharp tongues, no one in Jiangdu City is as good as Miss Shen San..."

Yang Lijun took two slow steps, squinting her eyes as if she was looking at something dirty.

"When it comes to being a slut and seducing a man, no one can surpass Miss Shen San. After all, not everyone is so shameless as to use tricks to get into the bed of their sworn brother!"

Everyone in the room was shocked!

The gossip contained in these few short sentences is earth-shattering!

Those who knew Shen Li and those who didn't all cast various glances at her.

Some people look down on it, some are envious and jealous, and some don't quite believe it.

This person is the girl from the Xue family, Xue Ling.

She immediately spoke up to refute Shen Li, "A woman's reputation is so important, Miss Yang, please stop talking nonsense here!"

Everyone looked at Shen Li and whispered to each other with their handkerchiefs covering their lips.

Shen Li knew without even wanting to know that what he said would not be nice.

She bit her lower lip hard, and the nails hanging in her sleeves dug into her palms, trying to use the pain to calm herself down.

When Yang Lijun saw her changed expression, she felt extremely happy.

It was Han Yunning who told her that Shen Li was suspected of having an affair with her sworn brother.

At the last palace banquet, I heard Sister Yun Ning mention that Cousin Shen had fallen in love with the bitch Shen Li.

At that time, she still felt strange. In terms of family background and appearance, Sister Yun Ning was not inferior to Shen Li.

Why is Cousin Shen like a blind man, mistaking fish eyes for pearls?

It turned out that Shen Li had been relying on her proximity to him and had been shamelessly sticking to him.

Not only is she hooking up with her cousin, she is also involved with the second son of the Wenchang Marquis family.

It's no wonder that such disgraceful behavior of a concubine could win the heart of Cousin Shen. I'm afraid she must have put in a lot of hard work in secret!

Shen Li was thinking rapidly in her mind. Yang Lijun's words obviously showed that she knew about her and her brother. So why did she know about this?

Of course, she couldn't ask questions at this moment.

Once asked, she confessed and admitted that she seduced her brother-in-law and climbed into his bed.

There are so many people here that she can only take risky measures.

Otherwise, if others believed what Yang Lijun said, she would be accused of seducing her brother, and she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into Jiangyang Lake.

"Snapped--"

After hearing a crisp sound, Yang Lijun covered her cheek in disbelief.

"You--how dare you hit me?"

"Why shouldn't I hit you?" Shen Li said in a cold and resounding voice.

"Not only will I beat you, I will also take you to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

Yang Lijun: "...Jingzhao Prefecture? Are you crazy!"

Shen Li chuckled, "You have ruined the reputation of others and defamed their good name. According to the law, you should be punished with 20 strokes of the cane. Anyone in this auspicious building today who dares to spread rumors and make groundless accusations will be guilty of the same crime as you!"

Yang Lijun put down her hand that was covering her cheek and pointed directly at her brow.

"Okay, go ahead! You know best whether you did it or not, and I didn't make it up, so why shouldn't I go to court with you? If things get out of hand, we'll see who will be embarrassed!"

"You said you didn't make it up?" Shen Li sneered, "Then what is your evidence?"
