Chapter 114 You have no shame? Then I will make your shame known far and wide!
Before even leaving the princess's residence, the sound of a teacup falling could be heard.
It was crisp and loud.
The two left the mansion, and Fei Jian was filled with rage.
"What is she? She really thinks she's something special."
"Look at how arrogant she was just now, like a colorful chicken that just keeps clucking."
"If you ask me, Manager Su, you didn't need to come all this way. You should have just gone and reported her."
Su Jingge remained calm and composed: "Do you think I wanted to come here? Yongzhu was bestowed the title by the Emperor. I am here today to give the Emperor face. Don't expect me to show no mercy when it comes to dealing with this matter later."
“I knew she wouldn’t admit it or repent, but I wanted her family to know that I had already warned her.”
"And with so many people here today, all of whom saw me visit the Princess's residence, that's enough."
Fei Jian nodded: "That's true. After all, it's something that concerns the princess, so we should leave."
"But Manager Su, what are your plans next? Although the construction period has been delayed, we have enough manpower and the materials are ready. At worst, we can have the craftsmen work overtime overnight to finish it."
"But if we swallow this insult today, who knows how they'll bully us again in the future."
Su Jingge smiled, sat on her horse with her back straight, and the sunlight made her look even more confident and charming.
"We absolutely cannot give in. If we do, she might kill someone next time!"
Fei Jian smiled and said, "Manager Su, you already have a plan?"
She immediately ordered Fei Jian: "Make three to five hundred copies of Mao Gen's confession and post them at the entrances of shops big and small, especially on the village bulletin board, cover it all up!"
"After that, take Mao Gen and a few brothers with loud voices, especially those like Leopard, and spread his confession far and wide!"
Fei Jian blinked, somewhat bewildered, an incredulous look in his eyes: "Magistrate Su, you're not usually such a flamboyant person, why the sudden change of tactics?"
Su Jingge smiled and said, "That depends on who you are dealing with. If it's Princess Yongzhu, someone who never learns from her mistakes, then you can't give her face again and again."
"Since she's shameless, I might as well give her a hand."
Go!
After a night of burning candlelight
There were three or five burly men holding copies of Mao Gen's confession. At first, they read it aloud, but after they got used to it, they could read it with their eyes closed.
Those people had loud, booming voices, like resounding bells:
“Princess Yongzhu, you are shameless! You instigated my employees to harm people. This was a task assigned to a minor official by the royal family, yet you have repeatedly obstructed it. Princess Yongzhu, what are your intentions?”
"Where is the royal family's dignity?"
"You instigated Mao Gen, and when he didn't have enough money to gamble, you heartlessly gave him a hundred taels of silver, just to fabricate materials for my Little South Gate!"
"You have no shame? Then I will make your face public!"
"You have no shame? Then I will make your shame known to all!"
"You have no shame? Then I will make your shame known to all!"
Once these brothers started shouting, the entire neighborhood of Yuxiang County mobilized.
The streets were bustling with activity, even more so than during the Lantern Festival.
Fei Jian was both amused and exasperated; this was the first time he had ever seen such a headstrong woman.
The effect was surprisingly good.
He's impressed!
This is precisely because they have captured the public's love of joining in the fun.
Soon, the sound reached Princess Yongzhu's residence.
The woman had just finished applying her exquisite makeup and was preparing to meet her young lover, Xiao Ziyu.
These past few days, the Xiao family has been preparing for the wedding. Although Xiao Ziyu was unwilling to marry An Wanyu, he still married her after being persuaded repeatedly by his mother, Madam Jiang.
After all, if this marriage falls through, they'll lose their heads.
This is a marriage bestowed by a sage.
Breaking off the engagement is tantamount to defying an imperial decree.
An Wanyu had barely stepped out of the mansion when she heard gongs and drums beating in the street.
Anyone who didn't know better would think a woman was getting married.
She saw the servant standing at the door running towards her with a panicked expression.
"Princess, Princess, something terrible has happened!"
An Wanyu's face darkened: "What's with the panic? Even if the sky were to fall, there are tall people to hold it up. What are you panicking about?"
"What's going on outside? Tell me the truth about all this noise."
The servants were in a very difficult position, after all... those words...
It's really hard to talk about.
The maidservant coldly rebuked, "The princess told you to speak, so just speak! Why are you dawdling like that?"
"Right now, all those people outside are cursing the princess, banging drums and gongs and cursing her for being shameless!"
"They also said that the princess is like a chicken, always dressed in fancy clothes, and all she does is cluck."
Upon hearing this, An Wanyu's face turned ashen, as if she had swallowed a fly.
It's like a fishbone stuck in my throat.
"What did you say? Are they out of their minds?!"
"How dare you insult my name like this!"
An Wanyu immediately kicked the person away; she wanted to see who was so reckless!
The closer you are to the door, the louder, clearer, and more noticeable the sound becomes.
She was so angry that she trembled all over and her face turned pale.
She saw a group of people walking right up to her door, and their offensive words were buzzing around her head.
All the neighbors on the surrounding shoulders came out; if you didn't know better, you'd think a group of jugglers had appeared out of nowhere.
She immediately ordered, "Arrest those people and beat them all to death with sticks!"
All the guards from the princess's mansion were mobilized, each carrying a stick, looking exactly like a martial arts overlord, fierce and menacing.
Before they could run more than a few steps, they all deflated like punctured balloons and came back.
An Wanyu was so angry that her eyebrows shot up: "What are you all doing back here? Get out of here and arrest them all!"
The servants trembled with fear: "Princess, the leader is a flying swordsman! Don't even mention these dozens of guards, even if the Black Armor Army came, they might not be able to defeat him!"
Flying sword?
An Wanyu frowned.
"Why is he involved in this if he has nothing better to do?"
Then I realized something was wrong.
"Could it be Su Jingge?"
She looked closely at the group of people; if she wasn't mistaken, they seemed to be craftsmen...
Suddenly, she remembered what Su Jingge had said yesterday.
Alright, so they've come here to challenge her head-on!
You little bitch, you're never going to stop!
Just then, a flying sword arrived to summon the princess for a meeting in the court.
-
This commotion led to a large group of people ending up in court.
Just as the proceedings were beginning, Fei Jian rushed in from outside and whispered something in Su Jingge's ear.
An Wanyu remained unfazed: "Are you done? This princess's time is limited."
Su Jingge raised her hand, and the flying sword flew down.
"Since Magistrate Su claims that I, the princess, instigated Mao Gen to frame your Xiaodongmen, causing all the materials to swell up and the school roof to collapse, why not invite someone up here to speak frankly and openly?"
Su Jingge smiled, knowing that there was no way to prove her innocence.
The flying sword just told him that someone was trying to assassinate Mao Gen, and that was in prison.
An Wanyu's reach is so far that it has extended even into the county government's prison!
