Chapter 8 Miss Mu digs out her eyes
"I think you're just jealous, right?"
Mu Yinqiu's eyes were filled with pride. Her mother had already informed the Yongchang Marquisate that as soon as this storm was over, the Marquisate would come to propose marriage. She said with a gloating look in her eyes, "What a pity! As the daughter of a criminal, you'll probably never be able to marry into the Yongchang Marquisate's status in this lifetime!"
"The Xiao family was exiled, so you can only marry a peasant. No..." Mu Yinqiu stared at her face and said, "With your face, you can also become someone's concubine."
Mu Yinqiu emphasized the pronunciation of the word "concubine". Seeing that the person she once envied would become someone's concubine in the future and be beaten, scolded, and sold, she felt so happy.
"Uncle Jin, do you smell something bad?" Xiao Jiuyue sniffed and looked at Mu Yinqiu with disgust: "Did you fall into the toilet too?"
Mu Yinqiu's face changed instantly. Wasn't she mocking Brother Mingyuan for falling into the toilet?
Xiao Jiuyue swung the whip in his hand towards Mu Yinqiu. A scream was heard and Xiao Jiuyue's whip fell on her carriage.
The horse was whipped and ran away, pulling the carriage. Mu Yinqiu was standing on the carriage, but he couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground.
"Sorry, I hit the wrong horse." Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly, without a trace of apology in her eyes. She looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Miss Mu Er, the prince and I have broken off the engagement. Even if you despise the prince for falling into the toilet and say he stinks like shit, I won't tell him."
Want to see her make a fool of herself? Then think about how to explain yourself to the Marquis' Mansion first.
Xiao Jiuyue squeezed the horse's belly and hurried to the south city gate.
"Xiao, Jiu, Yue." Mu Yinqiu was almost going crazy. She didn't care about the pain or the embarrassment. Seeing Xiao Jiuyue trying to leave, she snatched the whip from the coachman, jumped on the horse, chased after him, raised the whip and whipped Xiao Jiuyue hard from behind.
The bundle behind Xiao Jiuyue was whipped over and scattered all over the floor. Her eyes were red.
She stopped urgently, dismounted anxiously, and picked up the clothes, shoes and socks on the ground. These were all life-saving things.
"Miss, be careful." Manager Jin warned loudly, and the guards around Mu Yinqiu came up.
Mu Yinqiu galloped towards Xiao Jiuyue on his horse, raised the whip, pointed it at Xiao Jiuyue's beautiful face, and looked at her viciously: I'll ruin your face!
The horse neighed and Xiao Jiuyue raised her head in panic. She seemed to hear the sound of a whip.
"Pah~"
A galloping horse leaped over and knocked Mu Yinqiu to the ground.
The expected pain did not come. Xiao Jiuyue looked up in fear. In the morning sun, Jun Lie was wearing a black long gown. His cold and stern facial features seemed to have been carefully carved by a painter, and they were noble and natural.
"Ah..." Mu Yinqiu fell again and couldn't even get up.
Mu Yinqiu raised her head and was about to curse when she saw the handsome man on the big chestnut horse. She swallowed the words she wanted to curse.
"Mu Yinqiu greets the Third Prince." Mu Yinqiu endured the pain, his facial features almost deformed.
The Third Prince, Jun Lie, was the first to speak out: "Miss Mu is so arrogant! As the daughter of the Grand Tutor, yet she hits someone in the street?"
"The Third Prince has misunderstood. It was Xiao Jiuyue. She went too far and said that the Prince of Yongchang Marquis..." Mu Yinqiu was helped up by the maid. She felt pain all over her body and hadn't finished her words.
Xiao Jiuyue dismounted, saluted the Third Prince, and spoke first, "Your Highness, the Xiao family is guilty, but not guilty of capital crimes. I simply wanted to send some clothes to Grandfather and Father, but Miss Mu knocked them over without explanation."
Jun Lie looked at her red eyes, his expression was complicated.
If he had not just witnessed her deliberately swinging the whip in the wrong direction, causing Mu Yinqiu to fall off the carriage in shock, and if he had not seen her looking so pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice, he would never have believed that she could go from being heroic to being pitiful with just one look!
"You're talking nonsense. I'm just..."
Mu Yinqiu was so angry that she wanted to say something, but Jun Lie snorted coldly and interrupted her, "Miss Mu, is filial piety also a sin?"
Mu Yinqiu was speechless, and Xiao Jiuyue took the opportunity to leave.
"Miss Mu, sheep kneel down to thank their mothers for feeding them. If a person doesn't even know how to be filial, he is not worthy of being a child." Jun Lie's cold voice sounded, and he left after saying this.
"I didn't." Mu Yinqiu retorted loudly. When had she been unfilial?
The whispering in the crowd made her feel particularly embarrassed. At the same time, her back felt cold. Did she have a mouth all over her body now and couldn't explain herself clearly?
"If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Mu Yinqiu shouted. Instead of leaving, the onlookers shouted, "Miss Mu is going to dig out someone's eyes!"
"Damn it! Come on, arrest them all." Mu Yinqiu said angrily, and the people who were watching the excitement dispersed.
Mu Yinqiu's face darkened as she boarded the carriage. She felt furious but had no place to vent. She cursed, "You can only act arrogantly in front of me. Everyone in Shengjing knows this..."
The third prince was not favored at all and grew up in the cold palace. There was a huge difference between him and the eldest prince, the legitimate son of the late queen, and the second prince, the son of the imperial concubine.
If the Third Prince had not suddenly gained the favor of the Queen Mother, he would probably still be in the cold palace!
hateful!
Mu Yinqiu could only curse in her heart after hearing what she said. She looked at the maid beside her and cursed, "Hurry up and help me see a doctor! It hurts so much!"
Two miles out of the south city gate, Xiao Jiuyue saw the exiled Xiao family members. She dismounted, and even if it was only in her memory, seeing them, a strong emotion filled her heart: her grandfather who loved her, her father Xiao Fu who taught her to read and know etiquette, her second uncle who would buy her candy figures, and her third uncle who taught her to ride.
"Grandfather, Daddy." Xiao Jiuyue blurted out. Seeing her grandfather whose hair turned white overnight and her father who was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, her eyes turned slightly red.
"Go!" The official swung his whip and hit him. Xiao Jiuyue's father protected him in front of him, fearing that his whip would miss the target.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyelids jumped, and she stepped forward to give him some silver, but the officials refused with a cold face, saying, "The emperor has ordered that the Xiao family is guilty of grave crimes and cannot be seen off!"
"Sir, let me say a few words." As soon as Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, the officer swung his whip down again.
Xiao Fu pushed Xiao Jiuyue and said anxiously, letting the whip hit his body, his eyes full of worry for Xiao Jiuyue, and said: "Yuer, go quickly."
"I won't." Xiao Jiuyue failed to deliver the things. If she left now, how could the Xiao family survive to Lingnan, which was a thousand miles away, without thick clothes, shoes and socks?
