Chapter 237 Get Out
Suddenly, a loud shout exploded like thunder, startling everyone present so much that they all trembled all over and involuntarily looked towards the source of the voice - the Prince of Yongning County.
People's eyes were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions. Some were surprised, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes; some were horrified, as if they were frightened by this sudden change; and some people had an eager light flashing in their eyes, as if they had already glimpsed a truth hidden behind it and couldn't wait to find out.
The Prince of Yongning's face turned ashen, his eyes wide open, and he stared fiercely at the person in front of him. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you get this contract?"
His voice was low and suppressed, and the anger and confusion contained in it were like a turbulent undercurrent that could burst out at any time.
Facing the questioning of the Prince of Yongning, Ru Yue remained unusually calm.
She slowly let go of the gentle and warm demeanor she had maintained until then, and her face instantly turned as cold as ice. Her eyes, which were once as gentle and beautiful as autumn pupils, now shone with a hint of coldness, revealing an aggressive aura.
She met the Yongning County Prince's gaze without flinching and asked, "It doesn't matter how I came into possession of this deed. I'm simply asking you, is this deed sufficient to prove that this shop is mine?"
However, the Prince of Yongning didn't answer her question right away. He continued to stare at Ru Yue, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles had turned pale from the force he was squeezing.
Despite this, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and did not show it, but the slightly red corners of his eyes inadvertently revealed his true mood at the moment.
For a moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence. The Prince of Yongning and Ru Yue stared at each other, neither willing to look away first.
The Yongning County Prince's wife, standing nearby, had long since grown impatient. Seeing the two men deadlocked, she couldn't contain her temper anymore and shrieked once more, "My Lord, why are you still wasting your breath arguing with him? This is the shop that my grandmother left you. Let's quickly have Fan Daocheng arrest him and take him to the Jingzhao jail. Then we'll see if he dares to blackmail us again!"
She chattered incessantly like a tireless sparrow, and her sharp and piercing voice was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the ears of everyone present, making people feel upset and disturbed.
Ru Yue's originally calm face wrinkled slightly, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, and a trace of unconcealable annoyance quietly crept onto her fair cheeks.
However, compared to Ru Yue's forbearance, the Prince of Yongning County clearly wasn't as well-mannered. His eyes widened, almost as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and he roared at the noisy woman, "Shut up! Get out of here with your men!"
The roar was like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire room.
"Ye Jintian, how dare you insult me like this?" The Princess of Yongning County widened her eyes filled with astonishment and anger, staring at the man in front of her who was yelling at her.
Her eyes revealed an almost crazy desperation, and she pounced on the Prince of Yongning with her fangs and claws like a wild beast that had lost its mind. It seemed that she wanted to fight to the death with the other party.
Seeing this scene, Ru Yue couldn't help but secretly shook her head and sighed in her heart: "Such a foolish woman, no wonder her husband ran away to find another woman, he is really stupid!"
The servants who followed around seemed to be accustomed to such scenes. They stood there in a daze, and no one dared to step forward to pull them apart and persuade them.
At that moment, the Prince of Yongning suddenly turned around. With lightning-fast movements, he extended a strong, powerful hand and accurately grasped the Princess, who was running toward him. Then, with a merciless swipe, he threw her hard to the ground. A dull, resounding "thump" echoed, the sound so astonishingly loud that the mere hearing of it was excruciatingly painful. The Princess, struck so hard, let out a shrill scream.
"Get out!" The voice of the Prince of Yongning was extremely cold, as if it contained countless tiny ice chips, piercing people's hearts and making people shudder.
The chill spread through the air, instantly enveloping the entire room, and everyone shivered involuntarily.
After a long while, the servants who had just woken up from their dream finally came to their senses. They hurried forward and carefully helped the Princess Consort of Prince Yongning who had fallen to the ground.
Their faces were filled with astonishment and fear, and it was obvious that they had not yet fully recovered from the thrilling scene.
"Ye Jintian, you are so brave that you actually hit me! My Zhengguo Mansion will never let go of today's humiliation!" The woman roared with her eyes wide open and gritted teeth, her face full of resentment and unwillingness.
After saying that, she swung her sleeves, turned around and shouted to the servants behind her: "Let's go!"
Following her order, the slaves and maids surrounded her and left.
Their footsteps and shouts intertwined, and the once noisy scene instantly became quiet. But in the blink of an eye, the group retreated like a tide, disappearing without a trace, leaving only the shop owner and his clerk standing there in a daze, staring at each other, at a loss.
The Prince of Yongning, as if all his strength had been drained from him, slumped against his chair, his eyes fixed on the contract in Ru Yue's hand. Tears welled up in his eyes, his lips trembling slightly as if he were about to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.
