Chapter 290 His Ruthlessness
The noise was so loud that it quickly alerted the people in the mansion.
Du Wanchun hurriedly ran to the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, they saw Madam Yue sitting on the ground, her hand covered in blood.
"Madam Yue, what's wrong?" Du Wanchun strode over and asked her.
Madam Yue cried out in pain, pointing ahead and shouting, "Dog! Dog!"
In the yard, a small white dog was baring its teeth at Madam Yue.
At this moment, the mother-in-law came out from behind the rockery in the courtyard, carrying Xiao Mianmian. "Madam, Madam! Just now, this Madam Yue tried to hit our young lady, but Xiao Bai saved her."
Xiao Bai is the spirit dog that Du Wanchun placed next to Xiao Mianmian a couple of days ago. It looks like an ordinary dog, but it has a spirit, in order to prevent anyone from poisoning the children again.
Du Wanchun's face darkened, and she turned to Madam Yue, asking, "Madam Yue, my child is just a little baby, why did you hit her?"
Madam Yue pointed at Xiao Mianmian and angrily scolded, "This little girl dared to throw the things the Emperor gave her into the stinking ditch!"
"She's being disrespectful and deserves to be punished!"
Madam Yue became more and more agitated as she spoke.
At this moment, Zhou Ruiyuan also arrived and quickly took Xiao Mianmian into his arms to protect her.
He looked at Xiaomianmian carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed.
Fortunately, Madam Yue didn't slap her today; otherwise, she wouldn't have survived to leave.
The emperor, who was following behind, also saw what was happening. He walked over and said coldly, "How dare you lay a hand on a child!"
Lady Yue raised her injured hand and said in a pitiful tone, "Your Majesty, my hand..."
The emperor was filled with rage, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Madam Yue sensed this and immediately knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, she was the one who lost the gold lock you gave me first."
The emperor said coldly, "The gold lock is gone, so be it. If she doesn't like it, I'll give her something else later. It's none of your business to tell me what to do."
After saying that, she instructed the eunuch behind her, "Madam Yue's hand is injured. Quickly go and fetch a doctor."
The eunuch quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
When Madam Yue saw the Emperor summon a doctor for her, she was initially a little scared, but now there was a hint of relief on her face. She thought to herself that the Emperor still cared about her.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor then said expressionlessly, "Tell the doctor that the lady's hand must be amputated to save her life."
"Your Majesty?!" Madam Yue exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun ignored them and left with Xiao Mianmian.
Without Xiao Mianmian watching over him, the emperor no longer held back and said bluntly, "If you dare to lecture someone in front of me today, do you want to stand on my head and lecture me in the future?"
Madam Yue immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again."
The emperor was seething with anger; he wouldn't be able to vent his anger until he taught this woman a lesson today.
Madam Yue immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him.
The eunuch came over and advised, "Madam, it's no use pleading anymore. The Emperor only wants one of your hands, not your life. If you keep pleading, you might lose your life."
Madam Yue was startled, bit her lip, and had no choice but to obediently listen.
The emperor was always ruthless. Even if a woman was in his arms and kissing him tenderly one second, he could take her life the next.
In Changliu Village, after learning that the emperor had arrived, Aunt Zhou was very uneasy and made a mistake with the spices when making incense balls.
The Third Prince didn't go out today either; he stayed with her the whole time.
"Don't worry, Ruiyuan won't let him find his way here."
Aunt Zhou nodded.
She sighed and said, "This isn't a solution for us to keep hiding like this."
The Third Prince comforted her, saying, "It will be soon. Before long, we won't have to hide like this anymore."
Aunt Zhou understood what he meant.
This morning, Zhou Zhao, who is far away beyond the Great Wall, sent a letter. He has now become a general in the army and will bring his wife home to visit Aunt Zhou in a few days.
