Chapter 1 Proving It?

Prove it? How was he supposed to prove such a thing?

Shen Ke was momentarily stunned.

But looking at Song Yilan's tearful appearance, he felt a bit relieved.

Just based on how infatuated this fool was with him, proving it would be simple, right? He could just swear an oath!

Thinking this, Shen Ke put on a sincere expression and immediately raised three fingers, "Alan, I can swear."

"I, Shen Ke, swear that if I truly have an improper relationship with Qin Yiliu, if I have ever done anything to betray my fiancée Song Yilan, may I be struck by lightning and die without a burial ground, never to be reincarnated after death."

Swear an oath?

If oaths were useful, what would be the point of laws? Why bother with evidence?

Looking at Shen Ke's pretentious and affectionate face, Yu Qingwu almost threw up.

Song Yilan felt genuinely disgusted and repulsed from the bottom of her heart...

If it weren't for the sake of the Song family's reputation and to reclaim everything Shen Ke had taken from her, she wouldn't be willing to continue being disgusted by him.

However, since he wanted to put on a show of deep affection, she would naturally give him the opportunity to perform.

So, under Shen Ke's confident and expectant gaze, Song Yilan spoke again.

She frowned, putting on an act of feeling sorry for Shen Ke but also sounding troubled, and said to him with tears in her eyes.

"Shen Ke Gege, I believe your oath."

"But... the elders probably won't."

"After all, oaths are inherently ethereal things. No one knows where a person goes after death or what kind of world they experience."

"So, to prove whether you and Qin Jiejie are innocent, you still need to do something concrete."

Song Yilan looked innocent, but her words stunned Shen Ke.

But soon, he calmed down again.

After all, Song Yilan loved him so much that she would give him anything, even the Tusi position of her father that he desired.

Therefore, even if he had to do something concrete, Shen Ke confidently believed that Song Yilan would not make things difficult for him.

Thinking of this, he stood up from the ground.

He patted his chest, glanced around, and enduring the pain, asked Song Yilan, "Alan, how do you want me to prove it? Today, as long as it can make you believe in my innocence with Qin Yiliu, I would even sacrifice my life."

Sacrifice his life?

If his life were really at stake, he would probably run faster than anyone else.

Song Yilan sneered inwardly, exchanged a subtle glance with Yu Qingwu, and said in an extremely innocent and helpless tone, "Shen Ke Gege, I naturally can't take your life."

"However, I heard people say that people will react subconsciously in the most dangerous situations. That is to say, in the most dangerous situations, people will reveal who they care about the most."

"So... I thought about it, and I thought, in a moment, let Qin Jiejie put a pear on her head, and you throw knives. If you dare, then it means that you indeed have no illicit relationship. If you don't dare, and you feel sorry for her, then it means..."

At this point, Song Yilan stopped speaking, only bit her lip tightly, took a deep look at Qin Yiliu, and asked her in a soft and gentle voice, "Qin Jiejie, are you willing to cooperate with Shen Ke Gege to prove your innocence?"

"I... I..."

Qin Yiliu's eyes were bloodshot, and she was stunned again.

You should know that Shen Ke had always been a weakling who couldn't even kill a chicken. Even if you put a target in front of him, he might not be able to shoot accurately.

Moreover, putting a pear on her head...

This kind of proof was simply asking her to die!

This Song Yilan, what a vicious heart!

But Song Yilan's brain certainly couldn't come up with these methods, so it must be that bitch Yu Qingwu who came up with the idea for her!

This bitch! She wanted to force her into a dead end.

Qin Yiliu was almost going crazy, she felt like she was falling into the same predicament as in her previous life.

Why... why did she have to be trampled on by that bitch Yu Qingwu even after being reborn!

"Song He... Song He... she's trying to kill me! Song He..."

"She doesn't want me to prove my innocence at all! She just wants my life! How can she be so vicious! I... I understand! Song Yilan is just jealous of me! She's jealous that you're good to me! She's jealous that people like me and don't like her! All this... all this must be her conspiracy! It's a conspiracy for her to kill me! Song He, save me, save me!"

In a panic, Qin Yiliu couldn't help but cry out to Song He.

Hearing this, Song He's already ugly face became even more gloomy.

You should know that Qin Yiliu used to always speak up for Song Yilan.

But at this moment, she not only accused Song Yilan, but even wanted to pin the dirty things she had done on Song Yilan's head!

"Enough, Qin Yiliu!"

Qin Yiliu was crying so hard that Song He sternly interrupted her.

He gritted his teeth and said, "In the past, Yuan Niang said you had two faces, and I didn't believe it! I just thought she was jealous and couldn't tolerate me marrying you as a concubine."

"But looking at it today, you really do have two faces!"

"Song Yilan is a bit overbearing and willful, that's right! But with her brain, could she come up with such a complicated way to frame you?"

Yes, Song Yilan certainly couldn't come up with those methods.

But that bitch Yu Qingwu could!

"It's... it's..."

Qin Yiliu's eyes were sharp, and she subconsciously wanted to accuse Yu Qingwu.

However, as soon as she was about to speak, she met Yu Qingwu's kind smile and Xie Jin Yan's cold and sharp gaze.

She then remembered that these two had just been personally acknowledged by her as her friends, her relatives.

Qin Yiliu's eyes were red, and she was unwilling to speak for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't put together a complete sentence.

Just as she was in despair, Xie Jin Yan spoke again at this moment.

He frowned and glanced at Song Yilan, then looked at Qin Yiliu, pretending to be concerned, "Song Guniang, your method is really a bit biased. Everyone knows that Shen Ke is not strong at all. You want him, a weak scholar, to throw knives at Qin Jiejie's head. Qin Jiejie is naturally afraid."

"Why don't we do this, for the sake of fairness, they can each put a pear on their heads, and then give them ten knives each, and let them throw knives at each other. If they are both avoiding the target, then it means they really have an illicit relationship. If they are both impolite, then it means they are innocent."

"..."

This... this was simply a living Yama! (god of death)

A moment ago, Qin Yiliu was still wondering if Xie Jin Yan was somewhat affectionate towards her. After all, she considered herself a beauty and was more considerate and gentle than a hypocritical woman like Yu Qingwu. Now, seeing her like this, a man would naturally feel sorry for her.

However, after hearing Xie Jin Yan's words, she almost fainted.

At the same time, Shen Ke's legs went weak.
