At this moment, Granny Li walked in with a burly man.
This man was Wang Tiezhu, the son of the deceased Zhang Mama.
Square face, short clothes, looks both rustic and ugly.
While walking, his thick, dark fingers would often unconsciously touch the edge of his pants; this was a habit only someone addicted to gambling would have.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the red fox caught in the net, and his eyes immediately lit up with greed.
"What beautiful fur."
Granny Li glared at him fiercely, "How dare you! The county princess hasn't even asked a question yet, how can a servant speak so casually? You have no manners!"
Wang Tiezhu quickly knelt on the ground to explain.
“I have a hunter friend who I used to hunt foxes with, skin them and sell them to earn money for drinks. But I’ve never seen one so beautiful. In my haste, I beg Your Excellency to forgive me.”
Upon hearing this, Little Red bared its teeth and roared at him in anger, but the net was so tough and strong that it couldn't break free at all.
Because of anger, its fur became even fluffier and more beautiful.
Yun Xiaoran glanced at Wang Tiezhu.
"You can kill foxes?"
Wang Tiezhu boldly looked down and immediately recognized that the scratches on her face were caused by a fox.
He understood immediately, his eyes darting around, and he quickly tried to ingratiate himself.
"Your Highness, I learned skinning techniques from hunters. There are many tricks to it. The best way to get a good pelt is to skin it alive. Tie the little beast's limbs together, hang its head on a rope so it can't move. The pelt skinned this way will be shiny and won't wrinkle."
He described the bloodshed with great interest, but Yun Xiaoran listened intently, her eyes scanning him from head to toe with a calculating glint in them.
"Granny Li, give him the knife."
Wang Tiezhu rolled up his sleeves and, while the maid went to get the knife, instructed several servants to each grab a fox leg and immobilize it.
He then skillfully tied a knot, preparing to lasso the fox's head.
"Take it easy, if you break the bone you might puncture the skin, and it won't look good."
The servant was less experienced than him and resented that he had stolen the limelight.
When minds are not aligned, the force applied is sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
As Wang Tiezhu approached with the knotted rope, Xiao Hong suddenly leaped out of her restraints and scratched Wang Tiezhu's face hard with her claws.
The force was so great that it tore off several pieces of flesh.
Wang Tiezhu screamed and cursed loudly.
"Damn vixen, I'll kill you!"
He took off chasing after it. Chang Paoshan's speed was undeniably fast, but the red fox was even faster.
Those claws were like sharp swords, grabbing each of the servants who had tricked him. Not only did they fail to touch the fox's fur, but they also tricked everyone into falling several times.
Finally, it leaped onto the rooftop, looked at the people scattered all over the yard, tilted its head, and grinned.
A pair of fox-like eyes suddenly caught sight of the purse at Yun Xiaoran's waist, and as if discovering some unparalleled delicacy, it let out a howl and pounced over.
Yun Xiaoran was so frightened that she immediately covered her face and screamed.
"Kill it! Kill it now!"
Xiao Hong's mouth was almost biting the purse when she suddenly paused, sneezed in disgust, sneezed, squatted down on Yun Xiaoran's face for leverage, and darted away again.
At this moment, the gate of Fengyazhu opened.
Song Yushu walked in with Yu Ying and Yu Tao.
I was startled when I saw this scene.
Just then, the red fox pounced in their direction, and Yu Ying immediately stepped in front of it, kicking it away.
Little Red couldn't dodge in time and barely managed to change direction. When it landed, its speed decreased, and Wang Tiezhu caught up and used a rope to lasso its neck, pulling it up sharply.
Even with its agile movements, it was helpless at this moment and could only desperately twist its body and roar in struggle.
"You little beast, how dare you grab your grandpa! I'll skin you alive!"
Yun Xiaoran's breath reeked of fox fur, and she angrily shouted.
"Chop it up for me, chop it up right now."
Wang Tiezhu was a little reluctant to part with it.
This fur coat is definitely worth a hundred taels of silver.
He immediately advised, "Your Highness, it's too lenient to just chop this beast up. I have a way to make it suffer a fate worse than death, to make it agonize for hours before it finally dies."
Song Yushu frowned.
"It's just a little fox, why be so cruel?"
Yun Xiaoran said coldly,
“Aunt, this is my elegant residence. This beast injured my face in my own place. Even if I had to tear it apart by five horses, it wouldn’t be too much for me. Do I not even have this little bit of power in the Prince’s mansion? This is not what my grandmother, the Empress Dowager, said when she allowed me to enter the mansion.”
They're using the Empress Dowager to put pressure on her again.
Song Yushu was annoyed by what he heard. Although he felt sorry for the red fox, he couldn't be too forceful because he could see that Yun Xiaoran had several scratches on her face.
Seeing that she remained silent, a smug look flashed in Yun Xiaoran's eyes.
Mo Yunhan was not there, nor was Zheng Qing.
In this vast royal palace, whoever has the strongest backing has the final say.
She was determined to settle the score for the humiliation she had suffered a few days ago.
She looked up at Wang Tiezhu.
"Didn't you say you had a way? Then let's get started. Cut off its tongue first, then we'll do it. I don't want to hear such a noisy squeal."
A maid came over carrying a plate with several gleaming knives on it.
Wang Tiezhu was pondering how he could keep the fox pelt, but his hands didn't stop. He picked up a knife and started slicing at Xiao Hong's fox mouth.
He is very strong.
Even if Xiaohong gritted her teeth, she could not resist.
Just as Song Yushu was about to raise his hand to stop him, a short arrow flew over and pierced the kitchen knife.
With a loud bang, the force was so great that Wang Tiezhu couldn't hold the hilt and the knife slipped from his hand.
