Chapter 149: Reaching too far? Interrupt! Gossiping? Pull it out and drink it
Upon hearing this, He Zhaojun stood still, only slightly raising her eyes to look at Princess Ruyang. "Wait a minute, Princess Ruyang, please enlighten me. What is my character like? Why am I unworthy of marrying into the royal family?"
Princess Ruyang sneered, "You and Cheng Shaoshang are always in cahoots. You must be thinking of something filthy. Who in the capital doesn't know that you're obsessed with money and wealth? How can you be worthy of being the Third Prince's bride if you have no morals or talent?"
He Zhaojun smiled. "When Shao Shang and I were thinking about those so-called dirty things, were you there, Princess Ruyang? Could it be that you were lying on our bed, eavesdropping? Otherwise, how would you know so much?!"
"I wonder who you learned this habit of climbing into other people's beds from?"
Chunyu's face turned pale, and she quickly retorted, "Stop slandering me! You're an unmarried girl, and you don't even feel ashamed to say such things?"
"Just saying it makes the wife of Marquis Chengyang feel ashamed, so how come she didn't feel ashamed at all when she did it that day?" He Zhaojun smiled coldly, not taking the two people in front of her seriously.
Princess Ruyang's face turned purple with anger: "Why don't you catch her for me? Slap her hard in the face!"
Several strong and burly maids came forward and tried to hold He Zhaojun down, but He Zhaojun took the initiative and before the maids could react, they were slapped in the face with great noise. They all stood there grimacing and covering their faces.
He Zhaojun brushed off the nonexistent dust from her sleeves. "Do you think I'm some little girl who can be bullied at will? Not to mention that my father and brother are both military commanders, and I myself have military merits to prove myself. And you guys still think you can show off in front of me?"
He Zhaojun reached out and broke the wrist of one of the maids. The pain made her scream twice on the ground and then fainted at the feet of Princess Ruyang.
"Princess Ruyang, your servant is so disobedient. She stretched her hands too far, so I could only help her interrupt. If someone's tongue gets out of control again next time and makes me hear something I shouldn't, don't blame me for pulling it out and soaking it in wine!"
Princess Ruyang was frightened by He Zhaojun's aura. She knew this woman was always overbearing, so she turned around and took out her anger on Cheng Shaoshang: "You... Fine, I'll discipline you when you marry into the royal family. Today, I want to see if I can't control you, but I can still control Cheng Shaoshang."
As she spoke, she pointed at Cheng Shaoshang angrily and said, "Come here! Catch him!"
These maids all avoided He Zhaojun and ran towards Cheng Shaoshang, but they didn't expect that when one of them was about to stand up, she was slapped to the ground by Xiao Yuanyi and could not get up.
He Zhaojun protected Shao Shang and stood still without retreating a single step. Xiao Yuanyi stood in front of Princess Ruyang, looking at her coldly with a fierce aura. Everyone was so frightened by his presence that they dared not move forward.
"You even dare to hit the people of Princess Ruyang. You are so rude. How can a woman from such a military family be worthy of being Shiyilang's new wife?" Chunyu was bluffing, but she seemed even more guilty.
Shao Shang snorted coldly and stared at Chunyu. "Although my Cheng family is a family of military commanders, we also know shame. We are not like some people who climb into their own brother's bed and do such shameless things."
Princess Ruyang was so angry that she was speechless. "You, you dare to slander the future Jungu in front of the elders?! I will teach you a lesson today. Let's see who dares to stop me."
Empress Xuan arrived just in time and said, "Aunt, what if I dare to stop you?"
She turned to look at Shao Shang, then looked at He Zhaojun, and nodded slightly, signaling them to rest assured. He Zhaojun smiled, hiding her achievements and fame.
