Chapter 84 Princess, are you okay?
Zhang Luoyi struggled hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the restraints on his arms.
The thunder grew louder and louder, and soon it began to rain heavily.
Zhang Luoqing, standing under the roof beam, looked at the woman in the rain with pride.
"You were disobedient to your father. You are an unfilial son. Now God is punishing you!"
"Calm down, old man. I think Roy just feels strange because he hasn't seen his father for a long time. He will get it right soon!" Fang comforted Zhang's father.
Looking at the princess being drenched in the rain and these bold people still talking here, Jing'er clenched his fists.
I hate myself for not learning martial arts well before, otherwise I wouldn’t be unable to protect the princess.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Fang was worried about what might happen to her. Her precious daughter would not be able to enter the palace, so she hurriedly reminded Zhang's father.
"That little bitch is silent. I think she has suppressed her temper. Let her come up and agree to Qing'er's matter!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang's father rolled his eyes. He decided that Qing'er's matter had to be taken care of no matter what. Otherwise, Zhang Luoyi's stubborn personality would be of no use to his career.
If he returns that bastard's things to her, it would be best if she agrees. After all, as long as Qing'er enters the palace, it is up to him whether he wants to give them to her or not.
Thinking of this, Zhang's father cleared his throat and said.
"Roy, if you agree to let Qing'er come into the mansion, I will return your mother's things to you and will not pursue your rebellious behavior today. How do you think?"
Zhang Luoyi was angry: "That thing was originally left to me by my mother. Why should I exchange it for it? You are too self-righteous!"
Zhang's father was furious and pointed at her: "I have given you a lot of face, please don't do it to the extreme!"
Zhang Luoqing: "Do you really have to make Daddy angry?"
Not wanting to pay attention to these people, Zhang Luoyi lowered his head.
When Zhang Luoyi was a child, she was often punished by Fang to kneel in the ancestral hall. It was raining heavily at the time. She knelt for several hours, causing her legs to ache when it rained.
Now soaking in the water, she has lost consciousness from the pain and her head is becoming heavier and heavier!
"What are you doing?"
At this time, a low voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
Gu Qingheng knew that Zhang Luoyi was going back to her parents' home today. He wanted to visit her secretly since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
"Qing Heng is here!"
Mr. Zhang felt a little guilty and greeted him in a pretentious manner.
Although Gu Qingheng is a junior, he dare not provoke the powerful force behind him.
At that time, the whole city was in turmoil because of the favoring of concubines and the killing of wives. The Gu family cut off all ties with the Zhang family from then on, and they often set traps for themselves in the court.
Zhang Luoyi raised his eyes and saw that it was Gu Qingheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"cousin!"
Seeing her being forced to kneel in the heavy rain, Gu Qingheng rushed over and pushed away the servant who was escorting her, regardless of the heavy rain.
"She is the princess now. How dare you treat her like this? You are asking for your life!"
The restraints on his arms disappeared, Zhang Luoyi swayed his body and put his hands on the floor.
Gu Qingheng wanted to help her, but now their identities were different and he was worried about ruining her reputation.
"Cousin...I'm fine!"
Seeing him looking at her with pity, Zhang Luoyi tried to pull the corner of his mouth towards him.
Seeing this, Fang sneered and said, "My dear cousin, this is our Zhang family's business, you are meddling in other people's business!"
Gu Qingheng took the umbrella handed to him by his men and held it over Zhang Luoyi's head, then raised his eyes and looked coldly at the person who was speaking.
"Mrs. Fang is wrong. When my aunt passed away, she told me to take good care of Xiao Yi. How can it be considered meddling in other people's business if it's something her mother told me to do?"
"Besides, my cousin is now a princess. Who gave you the courage to treat her like this? You don't want to live anymore!"
Father Zhang gritted his teeth. The Gu family had always been at odds with him, and he didn't expect that they would come out to cause trouble at this critical moment.
"Gu Qingheng, Zhang Luoyi is my daughter, so is it possible that I can't take care of her?"
"It's you, my cousin, who's really overstepping the boundaries!"
Gu Qingheng didn't want to talk to these people, otherwise he might beat them to death.
Jing'er struggled to break free from the restraints on her hands and ran over.
"Princess, are you okay?"
Gu Qingheng: "Hurry up and hold on to your princess. I will take you away!"
Jing'er almost cried and helped Zhang Luoyi up.
"Princess, let's go home!"
Zhang Luoyi felt dizzy and leaned on Jing'er.
Fang was worried that if Zhang Luoyi went back now, her plan for Qing'er would be over, so she hurriedly pulled Zhang's father's sleeve.
Zhang's father signaled the housekeeper to stop them.
Being blocked, Gu Qingheng turned around and said coldly: "What else do you want to do?"
Zhang's father suppressed his rage and looked up at Zhang Luoyi.
"Roy, your father doesn't want to embarrass you. I just said that if you agree..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Before he could finish, Zhang Luoyi interrupted coldly.
Zhang's father was completely furious. How could this daughter, who had been timid and obedient since childhood, dare to disobey him like this?
"I think you have really grown up. As your father, I will teach you how to be filial to your parents today!"
"Someone, give me some family discipline!"
“…”
Seeing this, Jing'er knew that they couldn't get out easily, so she ran away secretly when no one was paying attention. Now only the prince can save the princess!
Not everyone can endure the Zhang family's family rules. It is a whip soaked in salt water and covered with barbs. One whip will tear the entire back into pieces, which is very horrible.
When she was young, Zhang Luoyi was whipped by Zhang's father because Zhang Luoqing framed her and pushed her into the river. She had to stay in bed for a whole month before she could get out of bed.
She now felt sorry for her father again.
"If you dare to hurt me, not only you, but the entire Zhang Mansion will be razed to the ground because of your whip!"
The housekeeper was a little hesitant. Before, it was okay to beat or scold this young lady because there was no one to support her, but now her status is different...
Zhang's father stiffened his neck and yelled at the housekeeper: "Go and get it!"
The housekeeper nodded, walked to the tablet, took down the whip and handed it to Zhang's father.
Gu Qingheng didn't expect that they would dare to protect Zhang Luoyi behind them.
Zhang's father: "Gu Qingheng, get out of here! This is our Zhang family's business!"
Then he signaled his men to pull him away.
"Uncle, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. My cousin is your daughter no matter what. You should consider that she is your daughter too, even though she is a princess. How could you be so cruel!"
With no one to support her, Zhang Luoyi fell to the ground. Seeing Zhang's father walking towards her with a whip, she sneered.
"He never treated me as his daughter, so how can he be cruel or not!"
…
Jing'er escaped from Zhang's house and ran towards the palace desperately.
After Mo Lingyun and Mo Cangyan finished discussing state affairs, they happily left the palace, intending to go back to be with their wives. He began to miss Luo'er after not seeing her for a while.
As soon as I walked out of the palace gate, I saw Jing'er running towards me in the rain, looking disheveled.
"My Lord, something bad has happened. The princess... was beaten in Zhang's residence..."
