Chapter 13 Support

"Welcome to the Regent!"

Everyone in the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion gathered at the gate and knelt to welcome him.

The Marquis's residence was packed with people, and the scene was grand and magnificent, yet he didn't even receive a glance from the Regent. Xiao Jin walked past the Marquis of Ningguo and his wife, walking straight into the Marquis's residence with an arrogant and domineering attitude, as if no one else was around.

Why did the Regent come?

The Marquis of Ningguo and his wife looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions, and turned their heads to look at Gu Mingyan.

Gu Mingyan knew it well and lowered his head in shame, "Father, Mother, it's my fault."

Ning Guohou lowered his voice and said, "Go in later and follow your father's instructions!"

The fewer people involved in shameful things, the better.

Ningguo Hou dismissed his attendants and walked into the main hall with only the three of them.

“Bang!”

Ningguo Hou took the initiative and slapped Gu Mingyan hard in the face, shouting angrily: "Rebellious son! Kneel down and admit your fault!"

Gu Mingyan fell to his knees with a thud, and there was a palm mark on his left cheek, with each of his five fingers clearly visible.

"Heh." Xiao Jin smiled coldly.

Catching a glimpse of his contemptuous gaze, Ning Guohou suppressed his heartache and stepped forward to kick Gu Mingyan again. He clasped his fists and pleaded, "Regent, I acknowledge my wrongdoing! I beg you, Regent, to give me a chance to mend my ways!"

"It's been three days." Xiao Jin tapped the table with his fingers. Each tap was like a knock on the heart, making it hard to breathe.

His voice was low and cold, "Everyone in the streets and the market is saying that the Prince of Ningguo Mansion is having an affair with his fiancée's younger sister."

"incest!"

"treachery!"

"Too light."

What is light?

Before the Marquis of Ningguo and his wife could come to their senses, they saw the Regent make a gesture.

Behind him, a maid dressed in black and wearing a silver mask stepped forward, holding a short whip made of thick iron wire. The whip had dense circles of balls on it, and when it hit someone, it wouldn't bleed, but it would cause excruciating pain!

The bruises are severe and the internal injuries are difficult to heal.

"You go." Xiao Jin looked at the other maid coldly and said, "Fight!"

Su Tangyu took the whip and walked towards Gu Mingyan step by step.

Beneath the silver mask, her eyes were cold and full of resentment.

The fiancé who was arranged to marry her since childhood let her down twice!

Once, when she lost her mother and brother at a young age and was heartbroken, she recognized the wrong person and betrayed her kindness in accompanying him through the long recovery from his eye disease.

Su Tangyu raised the whip with both hands and hit Gu Mingyan hard on the back, "Snap!"

Once, when she was slandered and condemned by thousands of people, isolated and helpless, she did not hesitate to break off the engagement and marry Su Zhaoyang!

“Bang!”

Su Tangyu gritted her teeth and hit hard, "Pa——"

Gu Mingyan's body staggered and shook after being beaten, his face pale.

Su Tangyu was breathing rapidly. When she grabbed the whip and was about to hit him for the fourth time, Xiao Jin stopped her.

"So gentle? Tickling? Come back!" Xiao Jin called back to Su Tangyu, "Yinlian, you go!"

"Yes, sir!"

Although Yinlian was a woman, she was very strong due to her martial arts training. With one whip, she made Gu Mingyan groan and fall face down on the ground.

Su Tangyu retreated back to Xiao Jin, secretly rubbing her wrist, and watched Gu Mingyan being tortured with cold and silent eyes.

Before Gu Mingyan could get up, he was whipped again, "Snap!"

He vomited blood!

The Marquis of Ningguo and his wife knelt anxiously, begging for mercy: "Prince Regent, spare my life! No more beatings!"

"Regent, it was that little bitch Su Zhaoyang who seduced my son! It's not my son's fault! Regent, please have mercy on my son and spare his life!"

Xiao Jin said nothing, but the whip had to continue!

The Marquis' wife was so anxious that she burst into tears and cried out, "Prince Regent, please have mercy! We will compensate the Su family!"

Xiao Jin was now a little interested, and his eyes made Yin Lian stop, "Speak."

"We married both Su Tangyu and Su Zhaoyang! This isn't incest or betrayal! It's a beautiful story of sisters sharing one husband!"

Shameless!

nausea!

Su Tangyu clenched his fists in anger, his eyes filled with hatred and anger.

Xiao Jin said nothing. He nodded, and Yinlian continued to whip. The Marquis' wife immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. She hesitated and looked to Ningguo Hou for help.

Ningguo Hou couldn't guess what the Regent was thinking, so he could only timidly test the waters: "Will the engagement continue?"

"No--"

Gu Mingyan was beaten to the point of lying on the ground, unable to get up. He was covered in cold sweat, with blood dripping from his mouth. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't let Sister Zhaoyang down!"

They are not only childhood sweethearts!

Su Zhaoyang was the sunflower that accompanied him when he was sick, blind and helpless in his youth.

How could he not take responsibility since he had taken possession of Zhaoyang's sister's body?

He didn't love Su Tangyu, and there was no affection between them at all... Gu Mingyan lowered his eyes and stared at the red rope on his wrist. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said loudly: "I want to marry Sister Zhaoyang!"

"Oh, you are quite affectionate and loyal." Xiao Jin's eyes were cold and his tone was filled with sarcasm.

"Bang!" Still hitting.

Ning Guohou was extremely anxious and could only say, "Then let's cancel the engagement and marry Su Zhaoyang!"

Xiao Jin glanced at Su Tangyu lightly and raised his hand slightly. Yinlian immediately stopped and stood by.

Marquis Ningguo and his wife rushed over to support Gu Mingyan, feeling so distressed that they were about to cry.

"Cancel the engagement within three days!"

Xiao Jin stood up, the sleeves of his black robe hanging down, with dark patterns that were luxurious and noble.

A fierce and dangerous smile played on his lips, and he said in a meaningful tone, "This prince does not want to hear rumors of using power to force a breakup."

"Yes, yes, yes! Farewell, Prince Regent—" The three of them prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Xiao Jin took two steps forward and found that Su Tangyu didn't move. He looked at him with a deep and dark look out of the corner of his eye.

Su Tangyu lowered her eyebrows and eyes, then took a step forward to follow.

Back in the carriage.

Xiao Jin's gaze was as deep as a cold pond as he stared at Su Tangyu coldly, "Are you sad?"

"No." Su Tangyu shook her head.

Xiao Jin didn't believe it, "Take off the mask!"

Su Tangyu exhaled slowly and reached out to remove the silver mask. Her face was small, the size of a palm, her skin as soft and delicate as snow-white porcelain. Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly red, but there was no trace of sadness or reluctance to give up this marriage.

Xiao Jin was a little surprised. He raised his hand and pinched Su Tangyu's chin to look at her carefully.

"Didn't you keep calling me your fiancé? Stop crying?"

"Your Highness, I'm not a worthless person." Su Tangyu lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip, and spoke in a hoarse and restrained voice, "The prince only wants to marry my sister, so who am I? I, I still have self-awareness."

It sounded like she was about to cry, but she was just holding it back stubbornly.

How pitiful!

Xiao Jin's eyes were filled with desire. He wanted to destroy and possess Su Tangyu, so that her body and soul would belong to him alone.

"What are you complaining about?" Xiao Jin pinched her lips hard, "Didn't I give you a chance? Only if you are willing can I cancel the engagement."

The mist wet her eyelashes. Su Tangyu looked at Xiao Jin pitifully, as if leaning on him physically and mentally. "Thank you, Your Highness."

“So good!”

Xiao Jin was satisfied and mercifully sent Su Tangyu back to the back door of the Shangshu Mansion.

As soon as she returned, Ningguo Hou rushed to see Su Jian and told him about this matter.

But Ning Guohou was puzzled. "The Regent said that the engagement cannot be forced to end. Is he making the decision on Su Tangyu's behalf? Why?"

Su Jian was both happy and nervous.

The good news is that my precious daughter can marry into the Marquis's Mansion.

What’s worrying is that if the Regent stepped in, would Su Tangyu really climb onto his lap?

With the Prince Regent as his backer, wouldn't Su Tangyu be able to ride on his father's head and show off his power? So worrying!
