Walk of shame

Zhou was dumbstrucked she couldn't believe that she was going to be prisoned or had been betrayed. In fit of anger she threatens "impudent how dare you as lowly official dare prison this consort. Remind you beside being a consort of Heir song also the di daughter of prime minister.

Immediately take your leave and I might forgive you or else this consort will have your hats off your head from telling my father."

But will the officer back down? No... they have catches many nobles just based on suspicion and now with the hard evidence it was more easy. Thus he with his own threatening voice answers back "consort Zhou, even if prime minister were to be here with the evidences he has to back down. This officer will report to the judge and emperor of how you threatened this officer to have the hats off.

This officer would also like to see if your father the prime minister of our country has the right and power to snatch the hats of an officer for doing his duty diligently.

As you don't want to cooperate then this officer has no choice. Guards have consort Zhou arrested immediately. Together with her companions we will head to justice department. Have one sent to report holy one immediately of the matter as it involves consort from a dukes house who also is the daughter of prime minister."

With that said no matter how much she struggled but with her chicken strength was defeated and binded. Her both hands been tied tightly along with her waist then forcefully pulled nearly tripling her on the ground.

Reaching the front yard she sees her maid and the man also tied like her then each one was dragged from the door. As they were labeled as criminals they were to walk on foot till they reach the justice department.

It was a way to show people that the justice department is not idle but works whole heartedly. Also that no matter who they from the justice department don't fear in line of their duty.

The crowd started talking and pointing at zhou xuan. She wanted to hide her face but with the guard pulling her tied hand she was unable to.

She tried her best to duck her head but still was recognized by many. Soon even the crowd started to follow them to learn of the matter. As it was probably first time where a noble lady as her was being taken in such a way.

While the steward has ran to report the matter to his masters. Upon reaching the medical center he was stopped from entering by the guard only after duke ying mentioning was he allowed inside.

Bai lan had passed away 5 minutes ago. Though angry and cursing her inside they still said few nice consoling words to her as the doctor was also in the room. Song Hui managed to squeeze some tears from his eyes while duke ying's eyes were red and consoling his wailing wife.

All together they acted perfectly making the doctor feel sad and sympathetic for this family. They were in their act when they heard their stewards voice of pleading to be let inside.

All three peoples heart trembled. They vaguely guessed but to conform duke ying left his wife and son to mourn while he went outside.

After learning the entire matter duke ying felt very angry so angry that he finally vomited blood and fainted scaring the servant. With servants cry all the people inside came out to see the fallen duke who had blood dripping from his mouth.

The doctor immediately checked him and said that the dukes heart was in great heat and needs recuperate for some time. For now it won't be a problem but if kept happening then he might even loose his life.

Scared by the diagnosis they immediately thanked the doctor and after getting prescription collected all the herbs. They had both duke and Bai lan taken in stretchers back to the manor.

Because they left in hurry no one had brought carriage thus like previous could only walk on foot with now two people being carried.

The crowd was at great buzz. First it was Bai lan crying and wailing taken by duke his wife and son. After consort of song hui with two people was taken by officers of justice department. And now song hui and his mother were walking back carrying the duke and fully covered in white person.

Though the crowd felt it must be Bai Lan who was now dead but didn't dare to ask. Thus just followed murmuring till reaching to the dukes gate.

For song hui this was walk of shame. Being pointed, gossiped and even taken as fun to blow about. Once settling his father he went to his study where his rage finally erupted. Things were broken and smashed till nothing left.

He vowed to destroy Zhou Xuan who was the root of his shame. Soon he calmed down and called for his servant to clean up the mess and tea to quench his thirst.

Unknown to him this cup of tea was going to destroy him making him more shameless till wanting to die.
