Chapter 135 Whipping
Everyone couldn't believe their ears!
One thousand taels of gold! This Miss Yuan Er actually refused to sell it? Is she stupid?
"Not selling it?" Old Lady Meng didn't expect Yuan Ziyu to actually refuse her.
"Hmph, Yuan Ziyu, what are you talking about?" Before Yuan Ziyu could say anything, Liu Xueqing snorted coldly, "Old Lady Meng is so kind as to offer a thousand taels of gold for your pot of flowers, and you're actually acting so arrogantly. Are you trying to raise the price? Old Lady Meng is so virtuous and respected that you'd be forgiven for giving her this pot of emerald orchid. Humph, no wonder. It's not uncommon for someone like you to do such a thing. Otherwise, you wouldn't shamelessly sneak into the woods with a man in the peaceful Buddhist temple!"
No one expected that the private rumors would be brought out in public by Liu Xueqing, so they couldn't help but look at Yuan Ziyu's expression, wanting to see how she would react.
Regardless of whether the rumor is true or false, if it is said out in the open, anyone would feel ashamed. Some people who are too shy might even turn around and jump into the lake!
Old Lady Meng was even more surprised. She looked at Yuan Ziyu in shock and even forgot about trying to buy the Emerald Orchid from Yuan Ziyu.
"You're talking nonsense..." Huo Wan was so angry at Liu Xueqing's words that she stepped forward and wanted to beat her up, but was held down by Yuan Ziyu, who also calmed down the angry He and Zhang.
"Second Miss!" Qingying and Qingzhi were so angry that they looked at Yuan Ziyu and waited for Yuan Ziyu's order before they stepped forward to seek justice for their daughter. They didn't care about how Yuan Ziyu humiliated their daughter in public, no matter what kind of daughter she was from an official family.
Yuan Ziyu waved at Qingying and Qingzhi, pulled out his whip, and walked towards Liu Xueqing.
"What are you going to do?" Seeing Yuan Ziyu pulling out the whip, Liu Xueqing instinctively shrank back, but thinking that this was the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter how brave Yuan Ziyu was, he would not hit her in public, so she shouted at Yuan Ziyu in a timid manner.
Yuan Ziyou sneered: "What? Liu Xueqing, have you forgotten what I told you? I'm too lazy to emphasize it again!"
Before he finished speaking, he swung the whip in his hand towards Liu Xueqing.
No one expected Yuan Ziyu to beat someone in public!
"ah!"
Suddenly, Liu Xueqing was whipped, and before she could come to her senses, the second whip came.
The whip hit her body, causing severe pain. Liu Xueqing had never suffered such torture before. She trembled with pain and said, "Help! Someone is killing me!"
As she said this, she wanted to dodge Yuan Ziyu's whip, but this delicate young lady who was usually lazy was no match for Yuan Ziyu. After a few whips, she fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
"Third Miss!" Liu Xueqing's maid reacted and shouted anxiously, and went forward to pull Liu Xueqing away.
How could Qingying and Qingzhi agree to that?
If we can’t touch your daughter, can we touch you, the maid?
Before the two maids could get close to Liu Xueqing, they were easily stopped by Qingying and Qingzhi.
Seeing Liu Xueqing rolling on the ground after being beaten by Yuan Ziyu, the two maids burst into tears. They didn't know how they would be punished when they returned home because they failed to protect their third young lady.
At this time, everyone reacted, and Old Lady Meng hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"
He then ordered the others: "Hurry up and stop that girl."
Then he ordered the maidservant: "Go find some servants!"
"Wu Ying, Wu Hen, stop them!" Huo Wan snorted coldly and ordered her two maids to stop the one who was about to run out to call for help. She and He Zhang also stopped the few people who were about to step forward to pull Yuan Ziyu away. "It's not like they can kill me, why are you panicking?"
"Miss Huo Ba!" Meng Luoyi said anxiously, "Get out of the way! How can Miss Liu San withstand Miss Yuan Er's whip? If this continues, someone will die!"
"Hmph, she deserves it!" Huo Wan snorted coldly, "She was the one who wanted to kill someone first, so she should be prepared to lose her life. Besides, my sister You is naturally very measured in her actions, so no one will die!"
"You..." Meng Luoyi was so anxious. Liu Xueqing was the niece of Concubine Liu. If something happened in the Meng Mansion, no matter whether it was related to the Meng Mansion or not, Concubine Liu would definitely blame the Meng Mansion.
For a moment, Meng Luoyi felt regretful in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would not have allowed Yuan Ziyu to attend the flower viewing banquet.
"Come quickly and pull Miss Huo away!" Meng Luoyi had no choice but to order the maids.
"I wonder who dares. My father is Marquis Xuanping. Just try to touch me." Huo Wan glared at everyone.
As soon as these words were spoken, several people who were about to step forward stopped moving. Who would be so bored as to provoke the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion? Wouldn't that just bring trouble to themselves?
"Miss Huo Ba!" At this time, a young girl in a light yellow dress stepped forward and said, "Human lives are at stake. Miss Huo Ba, please give way. What can't be discussed calmly?"
"Oh, I was wondering who it was?" Huo Wan looked at the girl in yellow. "It turned out to be Miss Han Liu from the Huainan Marquis's Mansion!"
"Miss Huo Ba!" Miss Han Liu said with a smile, "Tell Miss Yuan Er to stop. Miss Liu San is the niece of Concubine Liu. If anything happens to her, how will you explain it to Concubine Liu?"
"Hmph, even if she's the niece of Concubine Liu, you can't just slander someone's innocence and threaten their life!" Huo Wan rolled her eyes and said, "My sister You only gave her a few lashes, which is too light."
"But you can't hit someone like that!" Miss Han Liu looked at Liu Xueqing writhing and crying out in pain and couldn't help but say, "Besides, the rumor Miss Liu San mentioned has been circulating for two or three days. Miss Yuan Er didn't go find the person who spread the rumor, but just beat Miss Liu San here. What's the big deal? It wasn't Miss Liu San who spread it. What if she hurts someone?"
Hearing Miss Han Liu say this, Chen Yao, who was hiding aside, couldn't help but tremble. Looking at the whip in Yuan Ziyu's hand, she suddenly felt a little regretful in her heart, not knowing whether her choice was right or wrong!
"Hmph, if my eldest brother knew about this, I'm afraid her fate would be even worse!" Huo Wan snorted coldly.
Before everyone could figure out why Liu Xueqing would be even more miserable after Huo Wan's elder brother found out, Yuan Ziyu had already stopped whipping!
"Ah, Yuan Ziyu, you bitch, you dare to hit me like this, I will not forgive you!" Liu Xueqing felt pain all over her body, as if she was going to die from the pain!
"Liu Xueqing, do you think I will let you go? Aren't you the one who knows best whether I have had a secret meeting with anyone in Fatan Temple?" Yuan Ziyu flicked the whip.
The whip hit the ground beside Liu Xueqing, scaring her so much that she shivered violently!
