Chapter 58 She’s Mad!

Seeing Shen Linghan’s actions, Madam Zhao’s heart almost jumped out. She hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shen Linghan, “Linghan, since you’ve congratulated your brother, go back to your seat and sit down!”

She thought that she could definitely pull Shen Linghan over, but Shen Linghan tightly grabbed onto Shen Xuanye’s collar, and with the drag and pull, Shen Xuanye’s clothes were soon in disarray.

“Mother, don’t pull me. I feel so uncomfortable. Elder brother, help me…” Shen Linghan broke free from Madam Zhao. She leaned onto Shen Xuanye again and even began to pull off her own clothes.

The veins on Shen Dong’s forehead popped out, and his purple-red face almost reddened with blood. He was so furious that in spite of the presence of the princes, he strode over and pulled Shen Linghan up, swinging his palm and slapping her in the face. Even if she did not care about her reputation, she shouldn’t destroy Shen Xuanye!

“Ah!” The overwhelming force caused Shen Linghan to spin in the air before she fell heavily onto the ground. Her eyes darkened, and she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood with two teeth.

Her head was buzzing and she almost fainted, but the itchiness on her body was like an unbearable blazing fire. “I’m so uncomfortable. I really feel so uncomfortable.”

When the Fifth Prince Baili Jinze stepped into the flower hall, he saw Shen Linghan lying on the ground. He asked in surprise, “What’s going on here?”

Shen Linghan propped herself up, grabbed Baili Jinze’s clothes and climbed up. She crawled and twisted enchantingly. If she hadn’t been beaten, this scene would be extremely tempting. Unfortunately, her face was now swollen like a steamed bun, and the corners of her lips and her chin were still stained with blood. Thus the scene was quite appalling.

Baili Jinze took a step back and frowned. “Second young lady, please behave yourself.”

Shen Linghan tilted her head and smiled. Her eyes were filled with water. “Behave myself? Your Highness, didn’t you say that you liked me? Since you like me, why do you want me to behave myself? You said that if I wanted to, you would marry me as your wife, give me lifetime glory and not allow anyone to bully me. Your words still echo in my ears, but you already forget…” As she said those words, she lifted her sleeves, covered her face and cried.

When people present heard those words, they all focused their attention on Baili Jinze. They didn’t expect to see such a lively scene. The Fifth Prince really dared to say it. Lifetime glory, where did he get the confidence? Haha…

Baili Jinze subconsciously raised his head to look at Shen Ninghua, only to find that she was turning around to chat with the maid behind her. The maid in green said something and Shen Ninghua covered her lips and chuckled. The hairpin on her head slightly shook and her smiling face beamed with delight. She looked like a magnolia, which was pure white and charming.

Anger surged in his heart. Baili Jinze fiercely clenched his fists. He felt that her smile was extremely dazzling. Shen Ninghua didn’t care at all. Even if she revealed a trace of mockery and coldness, he could more or less know some of her thoughts. However, she completely ignored him and acted indifferently.

When Chu Junyi saw Baili Jinze’s expression, he smiled and swayed the folding fan in his hand in a more leisure way.

“Lord Shen, it’s better to bring down the second young lady.” Baili Jinchuan frowned and suggested.

Shen Dong wished he could swallow Shen Linghan alive on the spot, so that she wouldn’t embarrass him here. Hearing the Second Prince’s words, he hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes. Someone, bring Shen Linghan down.”

Shen Linghan leaned over to Baili Jinze as if she hadn’t heard Shen Dong’s words. “Your Highness, how can you go back on your words? Is it because of my leg injury? Don’t worry, that little bitch Shen Ninghua did something human and gave me the magical medicine. I’m fine now.”

Madam Zhang abruptly gripped the handle of the chair and glared at Shen Linghan fiercely. She snatched away Ruyun’s chance of life. She just broke her legs. Did she really need to take the magical medicine? This bitch!

Madam Zhao’s heart skipped a beat and she almost fell to the ground. If she had known that Shen Linghan would be acting like this, she would definitely lock her up for another month. Was she courting death?

“Linghan, you’re too tired. You’re talking nonsense. Hurry up and go back to rest.”

Shen Linghan shook her sleeves and looked back and forth charmingly. “I don’t want to go back. I’m the number one beauty in the capital. I deserve the world’s best things. Why should I be locked up in the courtyard? Why should that bitch Shen Ninghua act so arrogantly?” The effects of the medicine made her even more unscrupulous. She just wanted to say whatever was on her mind.

Looking at her performance, everyone’s heart was immediately filled with disgust. In terms of beauty, only her elder sister Shen Ninghua deserved to be called the number one beauty in the capital. And she, Shen Linghan, was not only malicious, but her reputation was also ruined. She openly seduced the prince in front of outsiders, and even did that to her brother…what kind of monster was she!

Under normal circumstances, everyone would suspect that Shen Linghan had been drugged. But her current situation was too special. Her expression was very calm, her thoughts were very clear, and her face looked normal. In every way, she didn’t seem to have been drugged.

Shen Ninghua frowned slightly and looked at Shen Linghan with a somewhat hurt expression. “I thought that although we were not born to the same mother, we should still have deep sisterhood. I didn’t expect that you would always think of me like this. You’ve framed me many times, and I didn’t mind. I tried my best to protect you when you caused trouble in the Palace. I helped you find a doctor and sent you the medicine after your legs were injured. I even gave you the medicine that was intended for saving life…Shen Linghan, don’t you have a heart?”

“Haha,” Shen Linghan laughed wildly, and her eyes were full of disdain. “What the hell are you, bah!”

“Shut up!” Shen Dong stood up abruptly, and his eyes were filled with burning rage.

Shen Linghan slightly shrunk her neck. Her eyes seemed to be stunned for an instant, but after a moment, she acted recklessly again.

Just as Shen Dong was angrily ordering servants to pull her out, a burst of crying voice came from the door, “Master, please forgive Miss.”

Shen Dong shouted coldly, “Who is crying outside?”

Xiang Qiao was brought in by Wang Fu. As soon as she entered the hall, she sprang to Shen Linghan’s feet. “Miss, stop the mess. Quickly follow me back to the courtyard.”

Shen Linghan kicked her on the chest, knocking her to the ground. “Damn slut, get lost!”

Shen Dong was furious. “Shen Linghan, the Shen family is too small for you, isn’t it?”

Xiang Qiao crawled back crying, “Master, don’t punish Miss. Miss, she really can’t help it. Miss, you should wake up. Hurry up and wake up. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you anymore.”

Shen Dong frowned tightly, “You bold slave, confess to me. What exactly is going on?”

Shen Linghan was furious and kicked Xiang Qiao away again. “Stay away from me. You cry is so annoying. You are a spy sent by that bitch Shen Ninghua. Don’t think that I don’t know.”

Xiang Qiao’s face was full of tears. Perhaps because she was kicked too hard this time, it took her a long time to get up, but she didn’t have the slightest resentment on her face. “Miss, why don’t you believe me? When I fainted on the road, it was you who saved me. There is no way to thank you for saving my life. My life belongs to you since then. From the beginning to the end, you are my only mistress.”

“Shut up and get lost.” Shen Linghan was furious.

Shen Dong could no longer hold back his anger. “Drag Shen Linghan down and give her twenty strokes.” Shen Linghan embarrassed him in front of so many people. What’s the use of such a daughter to him?

Xiang Qiao knelt in front of Shen Dong. “Master, please let Miss go. Miss did not mean to embarrass you. She really was made to do so.”

“What made her so shameless?”

Xiang Qiao bit her lips, kowtowed and cried, “Miss, she’s mad!”

Everyone present was stunned. Shen Linghan was mad?

Madam Zhang chuckled in her heart. She didn’t want Shen Linghan to die so easily. She wanted Shen Linghan to have a taste of a life that was worse than death!

Shen Dong’s body trembled. “What did you say?”

“Master, ever since Miss was injured, she has always been in a confused state of mind. She often shouted for revenge, saying that someone framed her, and she often beat me.” Xiang Qiao said as she lifted the hair on her forehead and revealed a hideous wound. “This was smashed by a teacup today. If you don’t believe me, I have wounds all over my arms and body. If you still don’t believe me, you can also call the other servants of Qinxue Courtyard to cross-examine me. Miss…she really lost her mind.”

Shen Linghan ignored the chaos she had caused in the flower hall. She only felt that her body was hot and needed to find a place to cool down. She tore her collar and walked around the flower hall. The princes and guards in the hall had to turn their heads away to avoid looking at her.

Shen Dong’s eyes flashed with determination. “Wang Fu, the second young lady is mad. Get two old maidservants to take her back and lock her up in Qinxue Courtyard first. No one is allowed to visit her without my order so that she won’t hurt people.”

“Yes, master.”

With the slight movement of Shen Ninghua’s fingers, a bit of powder fell from her fingernails and silently floated in the air.

A moment later, Shen Linghan’s body trembled and she suddenly restored her senses. She looked around blankly and said, “What’s wrong with me?”

Shen Ninghua coldly reminded, “Second sister, since you are sober now, you’d better tidy up your clothes first.”

Shen Linghan lowered her head and immediately cried out in alarm, “Ah…” She hastily tidied up her clothes and her face became extremely pale. She looked up at Shen Dong in panic. “Father.”

Shen Dong waved his hand in disgust. “Take her down.”

“Father, I was framed. I didn’t want to do it myself. Father…mother, brother, please ask for mercy for me, mother…”

Madam Zhao lowered her head shedding tears. Her heart ached so much that she could barely stand. “Linghan, go to recuperate. I will definitely get the best doctor to cure your illness.”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes suddenly rolled with thought. She looked up in surprise. Madam Zhao did not ask for mercy for Shen Linghan? She herself was locked up by Shen Dong in the ancestral hall, and she could barely protect herself. So how could she find the best doctor? Where did her confidence come from?

Shen Linghan didn’t listen to her. “Mother, save me. I’m your daughter. I’m not mad. How can you watch me get framed and do nothing?

Madam Zhao stepped forward. She held Shen Linghan by the hand and said earnestly, “Linghan, you are the flesh from my body. I can never love you too much. How could I harm you? If you recuperate properly, you will definitely recover.”

The feeling of being abandoned by everyone almost drove Shen Linghan crazy. “No, I don’t want to be locked up.”

Shen Dong said gloomily, “Pull her down.”

Shen Linghan pushed Madam Zhao away and was about to run out, but two nurses rushed over and stopped her.

Shen Dong was furious. “Push her down, seal Qinxue Courtyard, and dismiss all the maids. Let me see how long she can be crazy like this!”

Suddenly, Madam Zhao cried out in alarm, “Ah, my belly!”
