The Fourth Prince flew into a rage, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at the Eighth Prince's wife's hysterical state. Pointing angrily at her, he commanded, "Guoluo Luo Shi Minghui, for your disrespect in court, slap yourself..."
Guo Luoluo Minghui laughed wildly, her eyes red as she stared intently at the Fourth Prince, gritting her teeth as she said, "I'm not convinced! Why are you arresting the Eighth Prince? Why do you want me to slap myself? I'm Consort Yi's niece, and Prince An's niece..."
When the Fourth Prince saw that the Eighth Prince's wife refused, he was furious and pointed at her, scolding, "Guo Luoluo is intelligent but immoral and rude. When the late Emperor was alive, you were domineering in the Prince's mansion, preventing the Eighth Prince from taking a concubine. Was this what you did?"
The Eighth Prince's wife was taken aback, not expecting the Fourth Prince to bring up this matter. Her arrogance subsided considerably, but she still persisted in her tantrum, saying, "This is a family matter of my Eighth Prince's Mansion. The Emperor should not interfere in my Eighth Prince's Mansion no matter what... Is it wrong for the Eighth Prince to dote on me?"
Seeing that the Eighth Prince's wife had become arrogant and started acting like a scoundrel, the Fourth Prince no longer cared about her. Pointing at her forehead, he scolded, "Family matters? As a prince of the Qing Dynasty, the Eighth Prince has no family matters to speak of. Now that your Eighth Prince's mansion has no heirs, what face do you have to talk to me about the late Emperor?"
The Eighth Prince's wife was speechless. The Fourth Prince glared at her and said through gritted teeth, "If the late Emperor had known what you had done, he would have executed you long ago. As a member of the imperial clan, you showed no respect for your elders, behaved improperly in the palace, and were disrespectful to me. As a princess consort, you were domineering and selfish towards the Eighth Prince, lacking both virtue and talent. For any one of these reasons alone, I could have your entire family executed..."
Upon hearing the Fourth Prince's words, the Eighth Prince's wife slumped to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Fourth Master glanced at it disdainfully, suppressing his anger, and said, word by word, "Slap him!"
The Eighth Prince's wife was deeply hurt, but she still refused to slap herself. She kept telling herself that she was the niece of Consort Yi, the niece of Prince An, a high-ranking princess, and the legitimate primary wife of the Eighth Prince's mansion...
Seeing that the Eighth Prince's wife remained motionless, the Fourth Prince scolded Su Peisheng, "What are you still standing there for?"
Su Peisheng trembled, then summoned two eunuchs, each grabbing one of the Eighth Prince's wives' arms and lifting her from the ground. The Eighth Prince's wife struggled in panic, roaring, "What are you doing? Let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you be so rude!"
Su Peisheng glanced at the Fourth Prince with a troubled expression. The Fourth Prince's face remained unwavering, so Su Peisheng had no choice but to walk up to the Eighth Prince's wife and whisper, "Eighth Prince's wife, this servant is sorry..."
The Eighth Prince's wife stared at Su Peisheng with terrified eyes. How could she allow a eunuch to hit her? The Eighth Prince's wife was completely enraged and kicked him directly. Su Peisheng grimaced in pain.
"You beast, you dare to lay a hand on me!" the Eighth Prince's wife threatened.
Su Peisheng was instantly furious and seething with anger. Being a palace servant was already a sore point for him, and now, being humiliated like this by the Eighth Prince's wife, he couldn't care less about anything else. He rolled up his sleeves, raised his fists, and stood up straight with a fierce air. The Fourth Prince stood by without saying a word, seemingly tacitly approving of Su Peisheng's behavior.
Under the horrified gaze of the Eighth Prince's wife, Su Peisheng slapped her three times hard. Su Peisheng, being a man, was no less powerful than a woman when it came to beating someone. Coupled with his pent-up anger, he channeled all his resentment into his hand, making his blows exceptionally vicious.
