He only saw the two of them entangled together, and randomly, Jiayin would scream and tumble down.
But if she didn’t push Jiayin, does that an Jiayin set her up? Impossible.
How could Jiayin be so cruel? She’s pregnant, surely she wouldn’t risk her own child’s life.
"What more do you want to argue about, Jingchen was right there. He saw you push down the stairs. He can corroborate everything! You dare distort the truth," Yuan Jiayin was awash with grief, tears choking her voice, "You killed my child and you dare to deny it? You inhuman creature! Just now you dared to attack harmless won. There’s nothing you wouldn’t do."
There was a wave of commotion around them, directing disapproving glances at Ye Lu.
"The Crown Prince Shang has spoken, this must be true. This is too savage," they agreed.
"An innocent life is lost because of this woman, she’s inhuman."
Facing the pointed accusations, Ye Lu felt the irony, the unfairness, the helplessness. This perversion of the truth was truly ironic.
"Step aside!" Ye Lu coldly scanned the onlooking guests and reporters, not wanting to spend another minute in this vile place.
"You won’t get away. I once bore it all to save the Shang family from disgrace, but you stepped up your efforts to harm . I can’t bear it anymore, Ye Lu. I will demand justice for my child tonight, or I fail as a mother," Jiayin spoke with feigned weakness and fabricated fortitude, successfully gaining the sympathy of the onlookers.
Ye Lu scoffed: "Such a complete farce! You’re so good at playing the victim. It’s enough to make sick. Fine, I’d like to see how you plan on seeking justice."
"I want you to kneel and apologize to ." Yuan Jiayin arrogantly jutted her chin up.
"In your dreams," Ye Lu snapped back, disgusted at the thought of having to kneel and apologize in front of everyone. It was ridiculous.
"Jingchen, see? All I asked was for her to kneel and apologize. I won’t even pursue legal action, but she’s the one refusing. I would like to put this behind us for your sake, but she’s been too ruthless. I will sue her, have her stand trial, and be imprisoned," Jiayin demanded.
Shang Jingchen’s expression changed. He may have despised Ye Lu for his humiliation and her illegitimate children, but he never wanted her in jail.
"If you’re so brave, go ahead and sue. I would like to see who ends up behind bars," said Ye Lu, smirking. Jiayin’s pregnancy was a lie. Would she dare to escalate this issue? Once investigation begins, her deceit will be exposed.
"Enough, Ye Lu, shut your mouth," Shang Jingchen angrily ordered. "Apologize to Jiayin now."
Ye Lu was stunned, her voice shaking with disbelief: "You want to kneel and ask her for forgiveness?"
"Yes." A simple apology would save her from jail and satisfy Jiayin. It seed to be the best course of action.
"Hahaha..." Ye Lu laughed coldly, "Shang Jingchen, you’re actually telling your wife to kneel before a woman who has done her wrong again and again? You disgust . I’ll see you in court."
"Have you gone mad?" Shang Jingchen seethed as he gripped her hand tighter. "Look at the dia here. Is your plan to cause havoc? What good does that bring for you? You’ve hard her child, all she’s asking is for an apology. Don’t push your luck. Kneel."
"No way!" Ye Lu was livid.
Shang Jingchen was at his boiling point. He was trying to protect her from prison, but she was stubborn beyond belief.
