Yan Shuyao was furious. She replied, "Sister, stop talking nonsense!!"
"How could I have said such nonsense? Aren't the facts right in front of us? Did I force Minister Zhu to sleep with the butcher?!"
When Yan Yunshu said this, she deliberately emphasized the words.
The women began to laugh.
"Oh, I just heard from the butcher that Minister Zhu has more than a dozen beauties at home. He's been making love with them all day long. Do you think he still has the energy to go to court?"
"It's so filthy and disgusting!"
"Bah! How can there be such a disgusting man in this world!"
"Most men are not good, but this Zhu Nianyan, he is nothing!"
"What is he?"
"He's a maggot in the gutter!"
"Hey, stop talking, we're shaking with disgust!"
Another burst of laughter.
Yan Shuyao's face turned red and blue as she listened to her brother being humiliated, looking very ugly.
Yan Yunshu looked at him coldly. "Yan Shuyao, what is this? What's the point of this little humiliation? Besides, your brother is even dirtier than that maggot!"
Yan Shuyao tried her best to dissuade everyone from discussing this. "You all should keep your words to yourself. We don't have any concrete evidence right now, so we can't speak without thinking."
"Why do you defend Zhu Nianyan, a drunkard with bad morals and bad behavior, so much? What is this, my sister..."
Yan Yunshu looked at her in feigned surprise, "Could there be something going on between my sister and this Lord Zhu?"
The women all pricked up their ears.
It would be a shame not to listen to this shocking gossip!
"Why, how could it be..." Yan Shuyao quickly defended herself, "I just feel that there is no evidence to support my statement. I can't make rash conclusions. Otherwise, if I hurt innocent people, I will be punished by heaven!"
"Really? You used to make unfounded claims about me in the Prime Minister's Residence. How many times will you be punished by heaven?"
"Sister, don't speak without thinking in public."
"Yan Shuyao!" Yan Yunshu said sternly, "You're just a concubine's daughter. What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do? If you absolutely must defend your Master Zhu, you can go inside and argue for him with the two princes. Otherwise, shut up!"
"Sister, your words are so hurtful. What's wrong with being a concubine's daughter? Doesn't a concubine's daughter mean she's not a living person? Doesn't she have the right to speak?"
Yan Shuyao was about to cry, and was so moved.
Yan Yunshu sneered, "Yes, you are not a human being, you have no right to speak!"
Yan Shuyao took out her handkerchief and cried even harder. "Sister is like a rock that can't be warmed. No matter how much I try to warm you up or influence you, you remain so cold-blooded and heartless, always hurting others with your words."
As soon as Yan Shuyao finished speaking, Yan Yunshu slapped Yan Shuyao in the face.
With a snap.
It was so crisp and loud that Yan Shuyao's face suddenly turned red and swollen.
She looked at Yan Yunshu in disbelief, "You, you dare to hit me?"
"Yes! I'm going to hit you!"
"Why did you hit me!!!"
"Because I'm the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, I can discipline you!"
"Yan Yunshu, you hit someone for no reason. I'm going to tell my father right now!!!"
"Go! Talk!" Yan Yunshu pointed at the group of men in the inner room, "Go quickly! If you don't go, I'll keep beating you!"
"You! How dare you!"
Before she could finish her words, Yan Yunshu reached out and slapped Yan Shuyao hard on the other side of her face, and both sides of her face turned red.
Yan Yunshu examined it with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's good. Now it's symmetrical."
Yan Shuyao's head was buzzing and she saw stars after being slapped. After she came to her senses, she stamped her feet anxiously and rushed into the inner room without thinking.
At this time, Zhu Nianyan had already put on her clothes, but they were not very neatly dressed, and her hair was disheveled, making her look very embarrassed. When she saw her sister rushing in, Zhu Nianyan turned sideways in embarrassment.
Yan Shuyao didn't look at him, but walked up to her father, covering her face and crying and complaining.
"Daddy, my sister hit me again."
When Yan Xiang heard this, he was furious.
Originally, Zhu Nianyan's affairs had made him angry but he had no place to vent.
At this moment, his precious daughter was beaten again.
This is outrageous!
He roared towards the outer hall, "Yan Yunshu! Come here!"
After yelling, he hurriedly cared about Yan Shuyao, "Yao'er is seriously injured, do you want to see a doctor?"
Xu Jinghuai, who was standing beside him, said coldly, "I've only heard that the Prime Minister favors his concubine over his wife, and doesn't distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. Now I've truly witnessed it."
"Your Majesty, I am only disciplining my daughter. How can I not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children?"
"She's just a lowly concubine's daughter, and she's worthy of having the imperial physician of Tianze Kingdom treat such a minor injury? Besides, can this even be considered an injury?"
"I was inconsiderate and said something wrong in my haste. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."
Prime Minister Yan appeared respectful on the surface, but in his heart he had already cursed Xu Jinghuai to death.
Xu Jinghuai glanced in Yan Yunshu's direction and said, "Since the Prime Minister still wants to deal with the matter between your daughters, I will take Zhu Nianyan and the butcher back to the Ministry of Justice first. After a thorough interrogation, I will give an explanation to Tianxianglou."
Prime Minister Yan immediately said, "Your Highness, these are just trivial matters involving girls, not worth mentioning. Right now, Minister Zhu's affairs are more important."
As he said that, he immediately winked at Yan Shuyao, "Yao'er, wait for daddy in the hall first."
Yan Shuyao understood what he meant. Although she felt unwilling, she knew that things should be done urgently. Right now, her brother Zhu Nianyan's matter was more important.
I can only walk towards the outside.
When she passed by Xu Jingye, her tears of grievance flowed even more violently.
But for some reason, Xu Jingye didn't feel as sorry for her as before. He just looked at her face with a hint of pity in his eyes.
But he never stood up and said a word from beginning to end.
Xu Jingye's mind was entirely on Zhu Nianyan.
Zhu Nianyan is his important chess piece, carrying extremely important secrets. He must not let Zhu Nianyan fall into Xu Jinghuai's hands.
Yan Shuyao didn't expect Xu Jingye's attitude to be like this, and her heart felt a little colder.
When she came to the outer hall.
She only saw Yan Yunshu sitting on a chair, eating snacks and fruits, and looking at her very comfortably.
Also looking at the lively crowd inside.
Yan Shuyao was furious. "Sister, how can you be so at ease after hitting someone?"
"Yes!" Yan Yunshu said, picked up a piece of cake and tasted it carefully.
"Daddy just called you over, why didn't you go? Sister, you know that filial piety is the greatest virtue! You are so unkind and unfilial!"
"Yan Shuyao, I'll give you one more chance to reorganize your words, otherwise..." Yan Yunshu sneered at her, "I haven't fought enough just now!"
"Why, do you dare to hit me?"
Yan Yunshu stood up suddenly and slapped Yan Shuyao twice.
"I warned you!"
