After rebirth, I pampered the crazy villains
Chapter 224 Difficult decisions
"Your Highness the Crown Prince really has a way to not implicate others?" Shangguan Wanning's voice was hoarse and her body was trembling slightly.
"Um."
"But, I just went to the Ministry of Justice to expose my grandfather, I'm afraid... no one will believe me."
"As long as you promise me that I will testify, I will go back to the Ministry of Justice early tomorrow morning to surrender myself. At that time, the Ministry of Justice will open a trial and summon you to testify. You just need to tell the truth you know."
Shangguan Wanning stared at Mu Jingrui and held his hand nervously.
"It's so risky. If...if you fail, you will be executed."
"I won't be fine if you testify."
A warm feeling surged in Shangguan Wanning's heart. "You... just trust me like that?"
Mu Jingrui was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Ning'er, you and I have experienced life and death several times. If I don't even believe you, who else can I believe?"
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but think a lot.
Yes, the 100,000 troops were wiped out. Under such circumstances, although he was excited when he entered the door just now, he still patiently listened to her explanation.
All of this touched Shangguan Wanning very much.
She leaned against Mu Jingrui's shoulder, felt his breath, and hugged him tightly.
"Jingrui, I know, actually... my grandfather and third uncle did such a thing, even if they were asked by the emperor, they would deserve it. But they... were my relatives after all, and I really couldn't do it."
"However, now that I have your guarantee that I can avoid other people being implicated, I feel relieved. Jingrui, I'm sorry..."
Mu Jingrui gently stroked Shangguan Wanning's face and gently put her broken hair into her ears.
During his recovery period, he felt chest tightness and anger whenever he thought of Shangguan Wanning, and wanted to beat her to death with one palm.
But for some reason, his heart softened as soon as he saw her tearful eyes.
He is even willing to believe her unconditionally.
Mu Jingrui couldn't help but sigh silently that he probably wouldn't be able to escape from Shangguan Wanning's palm in his life.
"Don't say sorry, you didn't mean it."
Mu Jingrui comforted Shangguan Wanning instead.
"Ning'er, it's getting late, I'm leaving. Remember, tomorrow, you just tell the truth and leave everything else to me."
"Um."
Shangguan Wanning was reluctant to let go of Mu Jingrui's hand. She stared at him with tears in her eyes, imagining the pain and pressure he had endured these days, and her heart was cut like a knife.
She took a deep breath and took the initiative to kiss Mu Jingrui's lips.
Mu Jingrui tried his best to endure it and remained motionless.
"Ning'er, you really made me..."
Shangguan Wanning was so bold for the first time, and she blushed and lowered her head.
She stood up and sent Mu Jingrui to the door. After the two of them bid farewell, they watched his figure disappear into the night.
Shangguan Wanning was about to turn back to the room when she suddenly saw her parents standing in the corridor opposite.
She was shocked, and then she was both ashamed and ashamed.
Did they... see Mu Jingrui leave her room?
Shangguan Yue and his wife walked towards their daughter, and their faces were neither good-looking.
"Dad, mom."
Shangguan Wanning saluted, followed her parents into the house, lit a candle, and stood timidly like a child who did something wrong, bowing her head and silent.
"That person just now... was Mu Jingrui?"
Shangguan Yue's voice was neither light nor heavy, which made Shangguan Wanning unable to hear any joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
She opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain, so she could only nod.
"This kid is a little capable. In that case, he can still come back alive."
Shangguan Yue always felt that Mu Jingrui was not simple and would never be a thing in the pool in the future.
It is best not to have an enemy relationship with such a person; but if you are unfortunate, you happen to stand on the opposite side, you must eradicate it as soon as possible before it becomes a climate.
"Dad, actually Jing Rui..."
"What are he going to do today?"
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but look at her mother, thinking secretly how to speak so as to reduce the harm to her mother.
"Did he want you to be in the court of the Ministry of Justice to prove your grandfather and your third uncle?"
"Dad, you..." Shangguan Wanning was surprised.
Shangguan Yue sighed heavily.
"Actually, when the news from your grandfather came back at the border, I realized that the situation was not good."
Shangguan Yue is also an old fox. He never believed that his father-in-law could be so free and easy to betray the past.
It was not until today that I saw Zheng Binghong getting drunk in the Mansion of Yiyong that I learned the whole story from his mouth.
He never expected that Zheng Guoxun would be so cruel and ignored the lives and deaths of 100,000 soldiers just to avenge his son and grandson.
"Ning'er, what are you going to do?"
At this point, Shangguan Wanning has nothing to hide.
"Dad, I know that my grandfather and third uncle were confused for a moment, but... the unjust souls who died in vain have been hovering in my mind all the time. I really can't be indifferent."
"Ning'er, then, have you decided to help Mu Jingrui testify against your grandfather?" Mrs. Shangguan finally couldn't help it. She grabbed her daughter's hand and said anxiously, "Ning'er, you must not do this."
"mother……"
"Ning'er, think about your childhood. What did your grandfather and your three uncles treat you? Especially your grandfather. He treats you so much that he has to heart. Do you have the heart to see him as he is so old that he will have to endure the prison and suffer the punishment of being in a different body and head?"
"I..." Shangguan Wanning's heart tugged hard.
When Mrs. Shangguan learned about this, she felt dizzy.
She also knew that the 100,000 soldiers died unjustly.
"Ning'er, your grandfather is old, how many years will he be rich? You don't go to the Ministry of Justice for the sake of his love for you before, okay?"
Seeing that his daughter was still hesitant, Mrs. Shangguan said anxiously: "From today on, I will let your grandfather and third uncle eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name to repent for the mistakes you have made. Give them a chance to correct me."
Change? Opportunity?
Shangguan Wanning didn't want such a thing to happen either.
But, 100,000 lives! This price is too terrible, and it cannot be saved by eating vegetarian food from now on.
What's more, it also affects Mu Jingrui's innocence.
"Ning'er, just think it's my mother begging you..." Mrs. Shangguan said, and was about to kneel down to the woman.
Shangguan Wanning was so scared that her face was pale and she knelt in front of her mother. "Mom, you... wouldn't you want your daughter to live a long life if you do this?"
Mrs. Shangguan couldn't bear to look at her daughter in embarrassment. She cried and reached out to caress her daughter's face.
"Ning'er, my child... Mom really has no choice. Your second uncle died tragically in order to save you, and the child Zhixing left at a young age... They are all my relatives. If there is anything else to do with your third uncle and grandfather, then I..."
