The magistrate's daughter didn't expect her father to give her a big slap in public. She finally realized the seriousness of the matter, so she lowered her head in fear and dared not say anything more.
Their father never beat them. Even when they lost their cousin, he only punished them by making them reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors. Finally, when they heard that their cousin was here, he lifted the ban on them and allowed them to come along.
But who would have known that the young emperor was actually here too. The emperor is much better than that monk Yuwen Gong.
In the emperor's harem, let alone the queen, it is said that even mosquitoes are male. Isn't this their opportunity?
Who knew that just when they were about to give it a try, their father would pour a bucket of cold water on them.
It seems that things are not as simple as imagined, but they will not give up.
Even if she couldn't win the position of queen, being a concubine was still much better than being the wife of an ordinary minister.
They would never lose to Pei Rujun, that rude and uneducated girl. Both young ladies from the prefect's family had their own plans.
Huo Jinxing didn't even glance at him, his face expressionless and his voice cold, but everyone could sense his disgust. "Since you are so shameless, go and reflect on your mistakes and get out of here."
"Yes, yes, why aren't you leaving?" The prefect understood his daughter somewhat, but was now a good time? Without a hint, did he lose his head?
The two young ladies retreated in a hurry, but with a casual glance, they saw not only Pei Rujun and Yuwen Gong, but also Feng Ling who was sitting quietly beside the emperor.
What's going on? Isn't it said that the emperor never has women around him? Aren't they the first? Their faces were twisted with jealousy.
Feng Ling certainly felt the malicious gaze, but she remained calm. Wu Gong, however, saw it all and immediately smiled mysteriously.
"Old snake, those two little bitches are spying on the Emperor. How about we deal with them?" Wu Gong whispered to the snake demon.
The snake demon had an expression that said, "I know this guy is after Feng Ling?" No, he's pampering his wife. Humph! This bald donkey has a good idea!
"What do you want to do?" He is good at playing pranks. Who told you that humans are afraid of snakes?
"Of course..." Wu Gong's face was full of vulgarity and ill intentions.
"What are you talking about?" Pei Rujun was very curious. She wanted to know more about Yuwen Gong. Who were these people around him? Were they particularly close? Did they all look extraordinary?
“Women should not ask about men’s affairs.
Hey, little fool, you have been standing here for a long time. Your uncle is made of paper, why doesn’t he care about you at all? When your cousin saw you alive, her face was distorted and she was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Do you recognize the reality now?" Wu Gong's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and the prefect just happened to hear it.
Turning around, she saw the girl in red. Who else could she be but her niece? Had she really eloped with Yuwen Gong?
The prefect frowned, very much disagreeing, but now was not the time to deal with family affairs.
The guards around Huo Jinxing were reporting everything that had happened here, and the prefect's face was becoming more and more serious...
"Ah! Snake!"
"Ah! So many snakes!"
Suddenly, two terrified screams rang out in the open space. Everyone looked up and saw that the two young ladies of the prefectural government were surrounded by densely packed snakes of all sizes.
This scene was so similar to when they first met the snake demon. Feng Ling raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
The prefect kowtowed to Huo Jinxing several times, then led his guards to run and rescue his daughter.
The villagers on one side were shocked. "Oh my God, what bad things have they done? They have angered the gods."
"What do you know? I heard from the old people that snakes are the most lustful. They must have something seductive on them to attract snakes. You see, the snakes just crawled onto them and didn't bite anyone."
That's right, those snakes just crawl into the girls' skirts and don't bite anyone. It's very strange.
"Oh, what are these delicate young ladies thinking about every day?"
"Whatever you want, whatever man you want..."
The gossipy villagers were both frightened and gossipy, and while the prefect was busy rescuing people, they spoke without restraint.
The snake demon's face darkened. "Can you please stop slandering his people? Why are you asking them to bite non-venomous snakes? You can't strangle them."
Their purpose was just to teach the two women a lesson. When the palace soldiers rushed over, the snake ran away by itself, leaving behind the two women who had already fainted, with snake marks all over their bodies and in a mess.
With this appearance and bad reputation, it is impossible for them to enter the palace.
The prefect immediately had his two daughters carried back, while he himself had to stay to deal with the difficult matters here.
Needless to say, the county magistrate confiscated the rebels' property and exiled them, and even paid compensation to the villagers. Three dying Taoist priests and two witches were executed immediately...
Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, the crazy girl who was the second human sacrifice suddenly rushed forward and bit the three Taoists to death, and she herself died from the raw meat that she bit off.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't stop it.
It was not until this point that the prefect realized that his niece did not elope with Yuwen Gong, but was sold as a human sacrifice. If she had not met His Majesty and his gang, she would have ended up like that crazy woman.
The prefect was frightened. If this was really the case, he would definitely be chopped to pieces by the bad-tempered general's brother-in-law.
And this matter was actually related to his two daughters. This was of course what Yuwen Gong said. The prefect finally got angry and went back to marry his two daughters off early. Of course, this is a later story.
"Rujun, it was your uncle who failed to protect you and caused you to suffer. Come back with your uncle and he will compensate you."
By the way, send this trouble home.
Pei Rujun hid directly behind Wu Gong, shaking his head desperately, holding the corner of Wu Gong's clothes tightly in his hand.
Are you kidding? She finally found her fiancé. How could she let him go? She had to take him back and get married. She was already twenty years old and couldn't afford to waste time.
"You should go back to the capital as soon as possible. What are you doing here?" This is not an outing. They are going to do something important. How could they bring a woman who is in the way with them?
"I'm scared." Pei Rujun didn't say what he was afraid of, but he just refused to leave.
Wu Gong thought about it and it seemed so. If she went to her so-called uncle's house again, with her stupidity, she would only be sold. So she touched her bald head in annoyance.
"Leave her to me." Wu Gong planned to ask Huo Jinxing for a few secret guards to send her back.
"This is not polite." They are not married yet, they are just a single man and a single woman.
"Hehe, protecting your life is no more important than observing etiquette." Wu Gong pulled the man away, ignoring the prefect and treating him like an idiot.
The prefect was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
The matter here finally came to an end. The prefect took the criminal away, and the villagers kowtowed to the emperor again and again and went home.
"Let's go to the underground palace!" There is no time to lose.
