Chapter 72

"Princess, why don't you just beat Lin Wan'er to death?"

Cuiwei didn't understand.

"You are a daughter of heaven, why do you have to endure this humiliation?"

Xiao Yunxi smiled: "Because it's fun. After all, death is too easy, and living a life worse than death is the most satisfying. Giving hope and then extinguishing it, so that she can never see or touch it, isn't it more interesting?"

"When Lin Wan'er becomes a concubine, I won't have to do anything. There will be people in this mansion who will torture and humiliate her. It will be fun to watch the show every day."

"Okay, you all should go back and rest early. Come with me to Shou'an Hall to pay respects tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Xiao Yunxi didn't care what Hongyu and Cuiwei thought. She was only worried about how to make Lu Jingting disabled. It would be best if he was lying in bed hanging on for his last breath.

By then, I won't have to worry about those bad love affairs, and I can be a happy lord in the palace. How wonderful it is.

A dreamless night.

After breakfast, Xiao Yunxi took Hongyu and Cuiwei to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects.

When I arrived, I saw Lu Guifang sitting beside me with red eyes.

It seemed that he had received a good beating from Madam Dong.

After Xiao Yunxi greeted the old lady, she sat opposite Lu Guifang and asked with a smile, "Is the eldest sister's house arrest over?"

Lu Guifang was furious.

She sneered at Xiao Yunxi, "How dare you say that, Princess! If you weren't jealous, how could I have lost face in front of the Dong family? If you had helped Jing Ting take Lin Wan'er into the mansion as a concubine earlier, there wouldn't be so many troubles!"

The old lady was really disappointed with him. "Just shut up. No wonder your mother-in-law looks down on you. You are such a jerk who can't tell right from wrong."

Hongyu and Cuiwei were also shocked by Lu Guifang's shamelessness.

Xiao Yunxi didn't say anything, but looked at Lu Guifang quietly.

She said with a smile: "I am much younger than my elder sister, so naturally I am not as sensible as her. I heard that Madam Dong is looking for a second wife for Mr. Dong. I believe that my elder sister is so generous that she will definitely get along well with her."

Lu Guifang's face turned pale instantly.

Her mother-in-law has asked several matchmakers in Beijing to find a second wife for her husband who has a clean background, knows the rules and knows when to act.

"After all, the Dong family has just arrived in Beijing and is unfamiliar with the place. Don't worry, elder sister. I will definitely help Old Madam Dong to select a suitable candidate. I will definitely find a 'pleasing' sister for you, and by the way, I will also find a few beautiful concubines for the prince!"

Lu Guifang glared at Xiao Yunxi but didn't dare to say anything.

The old lady coughed twice and waved her hand towards Xiao Yunxi, "The affairs of the mansion are complicated, so please don't interfere in the affairs of the Dong family."

Xiao Yunxi said in embarrassment: "Madam, how can you ignore my eldest sister's affairs? What if Madam Dong finds a second wife who is younger, prettier, and more sensible than my eldest sister? Wouldn't my eldest sister have to stay alone in the future?"

She glanced at Lu Guifang and continued, "Take this opportunity to give the prince a few more beautiful concubines, so that my elder sister won't accuse me of being jealous."

Lu Guifang stood up suddenly, "Don't go too far!"

The old lady interrupted her: "You should stop worrying about other people's business! A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. It is not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the palace!"

Lu Guifang's eyes turned red with anger, "Grandma, why do you treat Fang'er like this?"

Xiao Yunxi got bored and left on the pretext of taking care of some chores.

After coming out of Shou'an Hall, before they had walked far, Hongyu asked anxiously, "Princess, are you really planning to give the prince a few more concubines?"

Xiao Yunxi asked her back, "It costs a lot of money to keep a concubine. Do you think the palace has so much money to keep someone?"

Hongyu was stunned.

Yes, her and Cuiwei’s indentures were both in the hands of the princess. Although they were nominally the prince’s concubines, the monthly salary was paid by the princess.

"Xiao Yunxi, stop right there!"

Lu Guifang chased after her with her eyes wide open, and even pushed Hongyu away.

A hint of impatience flashed across Xiao Yunxi's eyes.

He really deserves a beating!

"Xia He, slap your face!"

Before Lu Guifang could stand firmly, Xia He slapped her more than ten times on the face, and she fell to the ground in a daze.

Xiao Yunxi said coldly: "Lu Guifang, you don't know how to learn "Female Precepts", "Female Rules", and "Da Li Laws" or did the Dong and Lu families not teach you?!"

"Even your mother-in-law, Madam Dong, has to bow to me respectfully. You are just a common woman, who gave you the courage to call me by my name?!"

"For the sake of the old lady, I have shown mercy by letting you go once, but you have shown no remorse and have become even more violent!"

Before Lu Guifang could react, Xia He slapped her a dozen times.

Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she looked in a state of disarray.

"I'm just giving you a small punishment this time. If you do it again, I'll punish you severely!"

After Xiao Yunxi ordered Xia He to send Lu Guifang back to the guest house, he and the others went back to Feiyu Pavilion first.

When the old lady heard that Lu Guifang was beaten by Xiao Yunxi, she didn't say anything.

You know your own granddaughter well enough. She is a bully who bullies the weak and is mean and rude. She deserves it!

When Mrs. Dong saw Lu Guifang being sent back by Xia He, her face was so gloomy that it seemed as if ink could drip out.

After listening to Xia He's account of what happened, she said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Miss Xia He. Please tell the princess that I will definitely discipline her well."

Lu Guifang was so frightened by her mother-in-law's anger that she trembled with fear. She fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, not daring to raise her head.

"Once we find a house and move out, I will choose an auspicious day to marry you off as the second wife. If you make mistakes again, you will be dismissed."

"Mother-in-law...daughter-in-law is wrong."

Lu Guifang was scared and she didn't want to be divorced and sent home.

"If you know you are wrong, kneel here for a day and reflect on it!"

"Yes."

When Xiao Yunxi returned to Feiyu Pavilion, she happened to see Lu Zhan reciting his lessons in the corridor.

"Hello, mother." Lu Zhan stood up and bowed.

Xiao Yunxi nodded, "Why didn't you go to your second uncle to study today?"

Lu Zhan lowered his head and said softly, "My son wants to stay at home with his mother."

Xiao Yunxi walked up to him and touched his head. "Are you afraid that someone will bully your mother, or are you afraid that your mother will bully others?"

Lu Zhan pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Mother..."

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "I won't tease you anymore. Just recite the text. I'll ask Chunxiao to prepare the ingredients and we'll eat the pot."

"Ok!"

At this time, Xiao Yunxi's second brother Xiao Jingchen was drinking with Prince Duan Xie Junyao in the private room of Wangxiang Tower.

Jamel Xiao has an unruly personality and always speaks directly. "Your Highness drinks, but I will not drink with you. If you have any instructions, just tell me directly."

Xie Junyao raised his eyebrows in amusement, "Xiao Er, I didn't poison you, why are you afraid to drink it?"

He glanced out the window and motioned Jamel Xiao to look down.

Lu Jingting was seen in official uniform, riding a tall horse majestically through the streets.

Xiao Jingchen curled his lips and muttered: The silver-plated gun tip looks good but is useless!

Although Xie Junyao didn't hear clearly, he guessed that it was not a good thing, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Er, I'm afraid your brother-in-law is not even as good as one of my toes."

"Your Highness is too modest." Xiao Jingchen took a sip of wine and continued, "Xier said that men who are promiscuous are all bitches, and men who beat women are even worse than bitches!"

"On this point, you and Lu Jingting are the same, not even as good as one of my toes!"

Xie Junyao: ...spit out my wine!

"Your Majesty, the Prince Dingyuan who just arrived in Beijing is much better than you in appearance, ability and temperament!"

Xie Junyao took a deep breath and said through his back teeth, "He's old!"

Jamel Xiao smiled, "He's just ten years older. The important thing is that he keeps himself clean and doesn't hit women!"

Xie Junyao stopped talking and just lowered his head to drink.
