Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270: Seeking an Imperial Pardon Decree_1 Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270: Seeking an Imperial Pardon Decree_1 Plea.

That Yang Hao, as the Crown Prince of a nation, would actually employ that word startled Qiao Xiaomai, who hurriedly said, “Your Highness, if there is something you wish to discuss, please say it, but never use that word. I cannot bear it, cannot bear it, you’re killing me here!”

Upon hearing this, a smile spread further across Yang Hao’s face, “You and the Third Young Master will soon become Zhengzheng’s foster father and mother. You as a couple need not take such a humble stance in front of me,”

He had always genuinely admired those with talent.

Moreover, Qiao Xiaomai and Young Master Tong had helped his Yang Family many times.

Hearing these words, Qiao Xiaomai also broke into a smile, “Given the difference in status, such a word is truly more than I can handle.”

“Then let us replace it with a graceless request,” Yang Hao complied, and did not insist, altering his plea.

“Please speak, Your Highness,” said Qiao Xiaomai.

“Well… I hope you can plead with Grandpa Emperor for a decree of clemency,” Yang Hao seemed to find the words difficult to say, pausing frequently, “Just say… say it’s a pity about Shen Bai, that the Shen Family’s matter is unrelated to him, and hope Grandpa Emperor would release him.”

Never had Qiao Xiaomai imagined Yang Hao would say such a thing, and she froze, her surprised eyes wide, “Young Master Shen?”

“Yes.” Yang Hao stood up as he spoke, sighing heavily with a face full of guilt, “I’m certain that the matter of Shen Chenghao has nothing to do with him, he was unaware.”

“But after such an incident, it’s fated that he and I cannot become friends.”

“I always knew that Shen Chenghao was secretly plotting rebellion, but I never told him. Grandpa Emperor was determined to eradicate the thorn that is the Shen Family, and I knew Shen Chenghao’s fate yet said nothing to him. I have wronged him.”

Shen Bai had shown him nothing but sincerity, yet he kept secrets.

It was his fault.

Now, Shen Chenghao had been beheaded, and the rest of the Shen Family had been locked up in the Sky Prison.

Yang Wenxiao treated the Shen Family differently, he did not force them to work on the roads but simply confined them.

“Grandpa Emperor hasn’t yet ordered a disposition for the Shen Family, but the outcome is unlikely to be good.”

To root out the weeds, the Liu Family members were killed or crippled, and the fate of the Shen Family would probably be the same.

He had known Shen Bai from childhood and had always been good friends with him, seeing his friend meet such an end left him burning with anxiety, unable to find peace.

“I and he… should not even meet again, but I hope he can be well. You are now the most favored by Grandpa Emperor; if you speak, he will surely spare Shen Bai his life.”

At this, Yang Hao looked at Qiao Xiaomai with a sincere expression, speaking earnestly, “Miss Qiao, I beg you, I will surely remember this act of kindness in my heart, and will definitely repay it one day.”

“Um…” Qiao Xiaomai’s mind was still in a daze, “This is not an issue, my impression of Young Master Shen is also very good, but how should I approach Grand Emperor about this?”

“Even if I do speak up, once Young Master Shen is released from Sky Prison, where should he go?”

“Is it just him alone? Are you only seeking Grand Emperor’s clemency for him alone, with the rest of the Shen Family to remain confined?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao sighed deeply once more, “Just say that from your interactions with him, you feel that he’s a good person, who has also helped me handle quite a few political affairs. Considering his ignorance, plead for his life to be spared.”

“Say that the Charity Organization you want to establish is in need of an accountant, to work for the benefit of the impoverished people, and consider it as atonement for the Shen Family’s crimes.”

“Um… Will the Grand Emperor agree?”

Even if the person is released, they would likely be confined to a certain location, forever deprived of personal freedom.

The case of Shen Bai is different from that of Zhuang Luhe.
