Chapter 129 - 127: Are You Questioning Me?
Lu Ying stood with his hands behind his back, gazing coldly at her.
Shen Yunxi felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She raised a hand to touch her cheek and softly asked, "Your Highness, why do you keep staring at me?"
"Three years ago, when Shen Yinning was imprisoned, you bribed the prison guards to humiliate her, didn’t you?"
Shen Yunxi was startled, an undeniable flicker of guilt flashing across her face. "Your... Your Highness, I didn’t! Shen Yinning is my cousin sister. How could I possibly hit her when she’s down and intentionally harm her? Back when my elder sister was arrested, I even went to visit her once out of concern! I was worried about her living conditions in the Heavenly Prison and personally delivered food and clothes to her!"
Lu Ying couldn’t even be bothered to argue with her.
When Shen Yinning was jailed back then, he had people keeping an eye on everything.
Whatever Shen Yunxi and Lu Qianqian schemed in the dark, he knew it all perfectly well.
Although he despised Shen Yinning for betraying him, she had been his fiancée for so many years. To stand by idly and watch her be humiliated by the prison guards—no man with any shred of integrity would bear such a thing.
Thus, he had secretly instructed someone to warn the prison guards.
During that one month Shen Yinning spent in the Heavenly Prison, she had not suffered any serious mistreatment.
