"You still have the nerve to plead for her. Someone, ask the lady to come over!"

"yes!"

The servants behind the prefect Liu Yuan immediately ran away.

Liu Zhenzhen was immediately frightened and burst into tears. She was just in a good mood and remembered that her two brothers said today that Prince Duan was a handsome man, but it was a pity that he married a madman. If he was lucky enough to become the new emperor in the future, that crazy princess might have to step down, and then a woman with better morals and family background would be chosen to become the new queen.

Hearing these words, Liu Zhenzhen's heart suddenly became active. Because of Prince Duan's sudden rebellion this year, her marriage has not been settled yet.

She had met several young men among the relatives of officials in Yuzhou City, but she looked down upon them all.

I had done this kind of thing secretly in the past, like sneaking into the front yard to see someone, and my father never said anything.

Lin Jiuxi thought she had misheard, but when Nangong Jing mentioned the screams, she immediately said, "I heard them too. What happened in this mansion? Why would there be such screams? Are they being beaten?"

The latest chapter of this novel will be published on 6>@/9 Book# Bar. Please go to 6>@/9 Book# Bar to read it!

After Liu Yuan was sent away, Fener was also dragged out. After a while, screams were heard coming from the yard.

"Mother, daughter..."

Could it be that the scream came from that maid...

Madam, you have increased the punishment. Females will be required to copy the document three times, and the fastest time will be three months.

When Liu Zhenzhen heard her mother being so cruel, she couldn't help but speak up for herself.

Nangong Jing suddenly said this, and Lin Jiuxi was slightly stunned. He thought of the prefect's expression just now, and the maid next to Liu Zhenzhen who looked dejected.

The prefect's wife was also quite surprised. She looked at Liu Zhenzhen and couldn't believe it, "You, you really went there?"

Before Liu Zhenzhen could cry out to her mother about her grievances, the prefect Liu Yuan said, "Your well-educated daughter actually brought a maid to the prince's courtyard and dared to slander the princess. She is so stupid. I was about to beat the maid to death, but she still begged for mercy. I think my punishment was too harsh. Madam, please tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

"Yes, sir!"

Liu Zhenzhen looked up at her mother in panic. She was like a Buddha statue high above, majestic and stern.

"Please tell me, mother!"

Fen'er's miserable voice echoed in the quiet courtyard, and even Lin Jiuxi could hear it.

"Yes, my daughter was reckless and disturbed the distinguished guests. She deserves death!"

I didn't expect that my father would get so angry today.

I had heard the general story on the way, and when I came forward, I bowed respectfully and said, "Master, why are you in such a hurry? Zhenzhen, you..."

When Liu Yuan heard his wife's harsh words, he said, "Don't be too harsh. She is a girl after all!"

Nangong didn’t raise his lens too much and said, “Screaming!”

To be honest, since Lin Jiuxi traveled to the Nanzhao Kingdom, although the Lin family had been pretending to be crazy for a few days, he had not seen any scenes of people being beaten to death.

"Well, after Prince Duan leaves, I will go and plead with your father. You just need to stay here!"

"Thank you for your understanding, sir!"

Madam looked at Fen'er who was pressed aside. How could she not know the flesh that had fallen off her body? "Master, Fen'er didn't serve the young lady well, she deserves to be caned to death. Zhen'er is also wrong. How about confining her to her house for three months and copying the female rules three times?"

However, when Lin Jiuxi heard the screams, he looked towards the door curiously several times.

"Daughter, that's not what I meant!"

"Zhen'er, do you know why I didn't protect you in front of your father this time?"

Liu Yuan was so furious that he even felt embarrassed in front of Prince Duan.

At this time, Lin Jiuxi was bending over and leaning on the side of the bolt, looking at Nangong Jing with curiosity in his eyes.

"My Lord, did you hear any sound?"

"No matter how playful a young lady who is waiting to be married is, how could she enter the front yard, and how could she happen to come here? Have you ever thought about it?"

Soon, the prefect's wife hurried over.

Lin Jiuxi tilted his head and said, "If what you said is true, it was the maid who brought Liu Zhenzhen to the front yard, so we want to beat her to death now?"

"You also grew up in the Lin Mansion. Are you still curious about this kind of thing?"

My daughter was so shameless that she refused to leave.

But I can’t bear to part with the contents of the book.

"Drag him to the mass grave!"

"Ma'am, Fen'er is dead!"

Nangong Jing looked at Lin Jiuxi's shocked expression and began to doubt whether she grew up in the Lin Mansion. Beating servants to death was the most common thing in the deep courtyard.

"She urged the young lady to come to the front yard. As a servant, she deserves to die!"

Lin Jiuxi was reading in the study, while Nangong Jing was handling some matters in the military camp, and neither of them disturbed each other.

"It doesn't matter whether you mean this or not. I'll say this today. Remember it firmly in your heart. Don't cause trouble again in the future. Remember?"

…

"Shut up! Do you still want to make your father angry? Grounding you is a light punishment. If you dare to talk back again, I will make you kneel in the ancestral hall."

"Did they beat her to death?"

Liu Zhenzhen knelt on one side, looking at the floor in fear, not daring to breathe.

Liu Zhenzhen didn't understand why her mother suddenly became more severe than her father. Although she was still confused, she knew the importance of the matter and said immediately, "My daughter understands. From tomorrow on, you will stay in your room and copy the female rules. Don't step out of the courtyard again!"

"Well, that's one thing, there's another thing you don't know!"

"Mother, I was just curious for a moment. The princess said she was the prince's friend when she saw him in the daytime, but she didn't reveal her identity. Fen'er and I know nothing about it!"

Liu Zhenzhen was immediately frightened and dared not speak again.

"Well, I'm going to go to the front yard first. Madam, please take care of the backyard these few days, and don't let any accidents happen again!"

The prefect's wife helped Liu Zhenzhen up and said kindly, "This Prince Duan is a traitor in the eyes of Nanzhao, but those are just rumors. Now your father is working with the prince and could be killed at any time. You are approaching him at this time. Are you trying to tell others that the daughter of the Liu family is trying to get close to the rich and powerful and become a concubine of the traitor?"

She had only seen some of these things in the military camp with Nangong Jing, but that feeling made her unable to let go for a long time.

But there is still a difference between the two.

The dead soldiers were killed by the enemy, they died gloriously.

This maid in the backyard was beaten to death. How desperate she must have been.

Even if he made a mistake again, it's useless. Why do you have to beat him to death?
