Chapter 629: Let's See How Long She Can Stay Arrogant

Things had reached this point, and even if Madam Fang had racked her brains before coming, she could never have imagined that these three noblemen would be vying to be the father!

Madam Fang's face was as ugly as if she had eaten something disgusting.

No, even someone who had eaten something disgusting wouldn't look as terrible as she did at this moment.

The surrounding people were also dumbfounded.

What kind of explosive twist was this?

Shouldn't these three men feel deceived, furious, and seek revenge on Miss Shen and the Bai family out of love turned to hate?

Why were they now competing to be the child's father?

Amid the crowd's murmurs, Priest Yiman slowly stepped forward.

The people held the Priest in great respect, and the murmurs gradually quieted down, until they were almost inaudible.

Priest Yiman first looked at the woman standing on the steps with a slightly protruding belly, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion, before turning to the three men in front of her.

"Prince Bei, General Tuoba, Helian Lin, please step aside."

"This woman has committed the grave sin of disobedience and is pregnant out of wedlock. Her family has reported her to the Sacred Church. According to the church's decree, she should be sent to the Punishment Division to set an example and purify the public morals. I ask the three of you not to obstruct the church's affairs."

Hearing the Priest's order, the surrounding people also lost their interest in watching the spectacle and gradually became serious.

"That's right, no matter what, this woman has committed a serious crime. She shows no reverence for the Sacred, it's blasphemy, and she should be sent to the Punishment Division!"

"Exactly, such a woman, and yet there are still people fighting over her. I think no one should fight anymore, it's best to send her to the Punishment Division. Otherwise, the girls in the Holy Capital will all start imitating her!"

Hearing the voices supporting her family, Madam Fang finally showed a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

At this moment, Master Shen also stepped forward and said urgently, "Please, Your Excellency, send this wretch to the Punishment Division immediately. Our Shen family has already disowned her. Whether she lives or dies in the Punishment Division is entirely up to Your Excellency's discretion!"

"Father, Mother!" Shen Yuanyang became agitated and tried to rush forward to stop them, but Shen Yuanfeng raised his hand, and several servants came to hold him down.

His eyes were red, and he glared at his family as if he had never known them before, "Don't send my elder sister in!"

"Take the fourth young master back," Shen Yuanfeng ordered, and they forcibly took Shen Yuanyang away.

He then looked at the woman standing on the steps, his heart filled with coldness.

Shen Nan, this time you have no tricks left.

What a match, but in the end, you are still one step behind me.

Among the three men standing in front of the Bai family, only Prince Bei hesitated for a moment.

Helian Lin simply said, "I've made myself very clear."

The implication was that anyone who wanted to take Shen Nan away would have to step over his dead body.

Tuoba Xiao looked at Priest Yiman with disdain and sneered, "I'll say it again, the General and his fiancée were married by the Emperor's decree. What, does the Sacred Church think its power is greater than the Emperor's, that it can take people away without reporting to the Emperor!"

"Our Wolf Hunter clan's men, if they can't even protect their own women, do you know what that's called, Priest? It's called trash."

Hearing this, Prince Bei's eyebrows twitched.

What the hell?

Is Tuoba Xiao trying to make people call Prince Bei a loser?

Day after day, he just keeps digging holes for others!

Thus, the still hesitant Prince Bei also stepped forward: "Priest Yiman, this matter involves a lot of people, you should go back and consult the Pope first!"

Priest Yiman's face finally showed a change in expression. Clearly, with his always high and mighty, authoritative priest status in the Holy Capital, this was the first time he had encountered someone so disrespectful.

He frowned slightly, clearly in a bad mood.

But looking at the three men of noble status before him, he indeed couldn't forcibly take anyone away for the moment.

Seeing him not moving, Madam Fang couldn't help but feel secretly anxious.

This Shen Nan is really too difficult to deal with. After such a long time, they finally caught her with this fatal flaw. If they can't deal with her today, she might find a chance to escape again!

So today, Shen Nan must be sent to the Heavenly Punishment Division to avoid long nights and many dreams.

Moreover, Yuansong might still be in her hands. Every day he doesn't return home, she worries more, fearing that this poisonous woman might harm Yuansong.

Just as Madam Fang was anxiously fearing that Priest Yiman wouldn't agree, Priest Yiman did not retreat because of the three men's firm tone.

"Since the three of you are unwilling to yield, I will send someone to consult the Pope."

"This..." The surrounding people were also dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought that General Tuoba's words made some sense. After all, this marriage was arranged by the Emperor and involved so many royal family members. No matter what, they should consult the Emperor before making a decision.

But now seeing that Priest Yiman intends to have the Pope come and take her away directly, they also hesitated.

Who has the final say, the Emperor or the Pope?

The people gradually began to argue.

"This marriage was arranged by the Emperor. If there's to be a judgment, it should be made by the Emperor!"

"But Shen Nan violated the Holy Church's decrees and should be punished by the Holy Church. Even if the Pope sends her to the Heavenly Punishment Division, it's completely reasonable!"

The two sides argued endlessly, but Madam Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect Priest Yiman to be so firm, standing on the Shen family's side, not giving in at all because of these royal relatives.

If the Pope comes, even if these people invite the Emperor today, it will be useless!

Shen Nan's premarital pregnancy might still be discussed, but as long as she and the master insist on her filial impiety, that's a major taboo of the Holy Church, and she will definitely be severely punished by the Holy Church!

Madam Fang looked triumphantly at Shen Nan, who remained silent.

Little bitch, not even the King of Heaven can save you today.

But Madam Fang's expression soon stiffened.

Why does she feel that the little bitch not only isn't afraid but is also smiling at her through the veil?

A sense of foreboding rose in her heart, remembering the times she had been outsmarted by this little bitch before, she suspected that today might be the same.

But she quickly shook her head, impossible. Today's events are so big, she doesn't believe this little bitch can turn things around.

At this moment, Su Youyue, who had remained silent from the beginning to the end, suddenly spoke in a soft, clear voice, like a refreshing spring: "Priest, today, you cannot take me away. Please return."

"What?" The crowd was astonished.

This Shen Nan, she must be mad. The Priest is waiting to punish her, yet she dares to be so arrogant as to drive the Priest away.

Where does she get her confidence?

Seeing this, Madam Fang almost burst out laughing. This little wretch, even at this moment, she's still being insolent. Good, keep it up, let's see how long she can last!
