Qin Yang was immediately upset: "Because you are Xuan Zhi's aunt, I respect you a little. I am the princess of the current dynasty. Logically, Xuan Zhi should bow to me when he sees me."
The Third Aunt's face was cold, and she sneered: "Rules are rules. If the princess doesn't want to abide by them, then she can divorce Xuanzhi."
Qin Yang was of course unwilling to divorce. This was the marriage she had painstakingly sought, so how could she let it go so easily? She raised her neck high, hatred in her eyes: "When Xuan Zhi comes back, I will make him kick you out of the house."
The Third Aunt glanced at her lightly, as if looking at something dirty: "Dongyu, Fangrong, you must watch carefully. The princess cannot endure hardship. If you dare to get up early, you will have to add an extra hour."
Qin Yang knelt on the ground and could bear it at first, but gradually, her knees became more and more painful. The cold stone slab penetrated through her clothes and went straight into the gaps between her bones.
It was winter, and because she had overslept, the clothes she put on were just random pieces of clothing that could barely keep her warm and were not thick at all.
She knelt in the main hall with the door open. The cold wind blew in, and every gust of wind seemed to blow the skin off her face.
She had never suffered such pain before, and soon she struggled to get up.
Dong Yu pushed her to the ground and twisted her knees hard. Her tears burst out instantly and she screamed: "You bitch, what are you doing!"
"I am only doing my duty. Princess, please do not break the rules. Otherwise, if you think about it again, you will have to kneel for another hour."
Qin Yang was weak and had no confidants in this huge Qin Mansion. These two little girls looked thin but were very strong, and she could not struggle.
How could she know that although Dongyu and Fangrong looked thin, they had also learned martial arts recently and were naturally strong.
Besides, this was their enemy, and they wanted to cut her into pieces. They held her down, using almost all their strength.
Qin Yang knelt for a long time, tears streaming down her face involuntarily: "I want to go back, I want to go back to the princess's mansion."
"Humph, you really think this is a vegetable market? Once you enter the Qin family, you must obey the rules. If you want to go back, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so."
Fangrong looked at her viciously. Somehow, Qinyang was actually a little afraid of such a look.
Qin Yang felt himself getting colder and colder, and soon he became exhausted and passed out.
She hadn't eaten anything in the morning and was very hungry. Now she had been kneeling for more than an hour and was exhausted.
Although she has some martial arts skills, she is a royal princess after all. She has been pampered since childhood and is different from others.
"Splash." The cold water splashed on her body.
She was soon shivering from the cold, and when she tried to get up, she was kicked down again.
"Princess, you can't stand it after just over an hour?"
She was dazed at the moment, tears in her eyes, and she looked a little pitiful. She said, "I'm cold."
"Would you like me to bring you a basin of charcoal?"
Her eyes lit up, and the coldness in her body left her no time to think too much. She just wanted to warm up.
Dongyu ran out and brought a large basin of red charcoal.
"Princess, since you feel cold kneeling on this bluestone, why not kneel on the charcoal fire?"
"No, I'm a princess. If I get hurt, Qin Xuanzhi will never let you go!!!"
She was really scared. She had not expected that these two little maids were so bold as to dare to make her kneel on the charcoal fire.
Dong Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Princess, when you set the fire that day, did you ever think about how much pain our wife must have felt?"
Qin Yang's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at her in disbelief: "You!"
"I don't want the general to know that his new bride is actually such a vicious woman. You'd better kneel down obediently."
"No, I absolutely won't kneel!" Most of the makeup on her face was washed off, revealing the hideous scars that were hidden behind them. Her hair was disheveled and her body was soaked. She looked very disheveled.
"Well, then I'll tell the general what kind of ugly, vicious woman he married."
"You are not allowed to tell Qin Xuanzhi!" She was really anxious and grabbed the corner of Dong Yu's clothes.
Dong Yu effortlessly broke free, a hint of sarcasm on his face: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. You did such an ugly thing yourself, are you afraid that others will expose it?"
Qin Yang was already a little crazy at the moment. She knelt down on the charcoal fire, and the aroma of meat quickly spread.
Her eyes were bloodshot and tears burst out instantly. She couldn't bear it anymore and hurried to get up.
"Don't worry, my wife was burned beyond recognition. You just injured your knee. It's no big deal."
Fangrong and Dongyu looked at each other and pressed her hard into the charcoal brazier.
She soon fainted again. Her knees were bloody and stuck to her clothes. It would be very painful to take them off.
Qin Yang woke up and wanted to find Qin Xuanzhi to complain, but was told that he had important matters to deal with and would not be home for the next few days.
A look of despair appeared on her face, and she couldn't help crying out loud.
Her dress was cut open and her flesh was burnt, so she could only wrap it in gauze and change the dressing every day.
Despite such a serious injury, she still paid her respects every day.
In the past, she was pampered in the palace and never worried about anyone finding fault with her etiquette.
But now, if she did something even slightly wrong, she would be criticized for being useless, saying that she only knew how to act like a foxy woman. As a royal princess, she couldn't even perform a formal greeting. If this got out, everyone would laugh their heads off.
Qin Xuanzhi's aunt often made things difficult for her because of this. If she couldn't kneel, she would copy scriptures. If her copy was ugly, she would copy it ten or a hundred times until it looked good.
However, within just a few days, she was tortured to the point of being emaciated. She even stopped caring about dressing up and lived like a walking corpse every day.
She is obviously less than 20 years old, but she looks like a 40-year-old old woman.
She was originally a beautiful flower, raised with love and money, but now she seemed to be fed with mercury, dying and would soon wither.
Qin Xuanzhi didn't come back until three days later. When he came back and saw Qin Yang, he was a little hesitant to recognize him.
It was not until Qinyang took out the royal jade token that he reluctantly accepted that she was Qinyang.
"Xuanzhi, you have to make the decision for me. You don't know how much I have suffered during your absence."
Qinyang looked forward to it day and night, and finally his wish came true.
Qin Xuanzhi certainly didn't let her have hope. He was furious. "What? How dare they do this to you! I won't let them off easily."
