Sure enough, Fang Jinrong still had his elder brother in her heart. Gu Qingchen despised her in his heart, but it was a pity that his elder brother didn't like such a vicious woman at all! However, the next second, he heard the woman say with a smile: "Use this!"
A long red whip was still on the servant who was carrying out the execution.
Xihe smiled maliciously: "Since you want to let me vent my anger, then use my whip."
The Gu family members glared at her, and the servants who were carrying out the execution were at a loss. Finally, under tremendous pressure, they picked up the whip, closed their eyes, and whipped her hard.
Bang,
Gu Ye trembled.
He turned his head instantly and met Xihe's smiling eyes.
The whip lashed Gu Ye mercilessly, and soon his clothes were torn and blood seeped out.
Madam Gu covered her mouth and cried breathlessly. Finally, she pushed the maid aside and ran to Xihe and knelt down: "Princess, please stop! If you continue to hit Ye'er, he will die!"
The people around couldn't help but stare at Xihe.
Xihe lowered her head with a smile on her lips: "Madam Gu, this is an order from the old Duke. You should ask him for help. Why should you ask me for help?" He gently pushed her hand away, and Madam Gu fell to the ground in an instant.
Xihe looked at the servant who had stopped: "Why did you stop? Keep going."
Although the spring sunshine was bright and beautiful above their heads, everyone shuddered. The princess, who was holding her chin with a lazy expression, suddenly became an extremely terrifying existence.
After thirty lashes, Gu Ye's back was covered in blood.
Mrs. Gu fainted immediately.
The servants came forward and helped Gu Ye up.
Gu Ye pushed the servants aside and walked up to Xihe step by step, inch by inch, from her star-like eyes to the corners of her lips that were in a good mood.
He opened his thin lips slightly and spoke each word with pause: "Fang, Jin, Rong."
Xi He took the long whip, her eyes sparkling, "As expected of a military commander, you're still so energetic after thirty lashes." She pressed the whip against his chest and pushed it away, "This princess has something else to do, so I won't watch you run around with a sandbag tied to your body today."
Waving his hands: "No need to send me off!"
With a loud noise, he quickly disappeared from the Gu Mansion along with the palace maids and eunuchs.
Gu Qingchen was so angry that he wanted to rush forward, but when he turned around, he saw that his elder brother's face turned extremely pale in an instant and his body was shaking.
He looked horrified: "Brother!"
"Yer!"
"Young Master!"
The entire Gu family fell into panic.
After leaving Gu's house, Jinsuo and Yinsuo looked at Xihe, seeming to say something but stopping themselves.
Xihe took a bite of the candied haws and said vaguely, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jinsuo sighed, "Princess, if you had let me do that, I would have definitely succeeded in slapping that Gu family's seventh son. Sun Li is so skinny, there's no way I could do that!"
"Pfft, cough cough cough."
"Hurry, hurry! Where's the water? Where's the water?"
After drinking the water, Xihe couldn't help but glance at Jinsuo's waist, then compared it with Sun Li, and nodded: "I'll let you come next time."
Jinsuo was instantly happy: "Thank you, Princess, you are the best!"
Sun Li was not convinced, but he had indeed not done what the princess had asked him to do today, so he was too embarrassed to refute her. However… he glanced behind him and stepped forward in small steps: "Master, the Third Princess is following behind."
Xihe subconsciously turned around, scaring the third princess who had just appeared, and she quickly hid back in the alley.
Xihe curled his lips: "Don't worry about her."
When she came out of the imperial study today, this sister had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw her, she came up to her, caring about her here and there, acting like a good sister. However, the jealousy in her eyes could not be concealed. After she knew that she and Gu Ye had broken off the engagement, the word "surprise" was almost written on her face. Who didn't know what she was thinking?
But the Gu family doesn’t even care about the most favored princess, so how could they be interested in her?
It's not that Xihe is disrespectful, but considering the status of the Third Princess's mother, Zhaoyi, it's okay for her to be paired with an ordinary young man, but forget about it with someone from the Gu family.
"Jinsuo, tell me about the young master of the Yuan family."
Chaoyang Street was bustling with people and vendors were shouting. Xihe stopped in front of a small stall making candy figures and asked the vendor to make a candy figure for each of his companions. He then paid for a small pig and said, "Give me one of these."
"The young master of the Yuan family is the third son of Master Yuan. His name is Yuan Fu. He has been in poor health since he was young."
"Yuanfu?"
Xihe was stunned for a moment, a smile etched across his eyes and eyebrows: "Who gave him this name?"
Jinsuo couldn't help but laugh too. "It's said that it was chosen by a wandering Taoist priest. Lord Yuan originally said he wouldn't agree to it, but after Madam Yuan cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself, he had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Master Lufan also said that this name is very suitable for Master Yuan."
Xihe took the piglet from the vendor and asked, "Master Liaofan?"
Speaking of this, Sun Li of Silver Lock laughed: "It is said that when Young Master Yuan was born, the sky was filled with rosy clouds and there were lingering sounds of heaven. He was born with the best fortune. Master Liaofan even went to the Yuan Mansion to read Young Master Yuan's fortune, saying that he was destined to live a long and prosperous life, and that he was a lucky star from heaven who had descended to earth."
He couldn't laugh anymore after saying this: "Who would have thought that Young Master Yuan had been plagued by disasters big and small since he was a child."
He gasps for breath every three steps and has been a regular visitor to Huichuntang since he was a child, visiting all year round. The doctors said he might not live past the age of twenty.
Master Le Fan's reputation was almost ruined because of this - but Master Le Fan had once told His Majesty's fortune, and it was very accurate, so everyone still trusted him very much.
Xi He was stunned for a moment: "Then when he saved me that day, didn't he risk half his life?"
Several palace maids and eunuchs paused, feeling a surge of guilt. Although they weren't good people, they loved their master dearly. Young Master Yuan had saved the princess, and they shouldn't have followed others in making fun of him. They apologized one after another, "Princess, we're sorry. We won't speak of Young Master Yuan like that again."
Xihe nodded: "You should pay more attention in the future."
With a plaque and two stone lions, everyone soon stood in front of the Yuan Mansion.
The servant went in to report, and soon Madam Yuan came hurriedly with her whole family, bowing down to pay her respects. Xihe quickly helped her up, and the group went into the house talking and laughing. Although Madam Yuan was surprised why she was so easy to talk to today, she just thought it was because Yuanfu saved her.
After hearing the purpose of the visit, Madam Yuan hurriedly said, "Princess, please rest for a while. My son will be here soon."
"He became seriously ill to save my young master Yuan. How can we let him move again?"
Xihe stood up and said, "Madam, I wonder where Master Yuan is? I'll go and see him."
As soon as Xihe left, the quiet living room was filled with chirping, "She didn't talk about me today, but talked about me", "She also praised my beautiful clothes today", "She also said that my fangs are beautiful"... More than a dozen ducks quacked.
After passing through a bamboo forest, they came to a quiet plum garden. From afar, Xihe saw a young man wrapped in fox fur fishing.
She looked around and didn't see anyone else, so she walked over: "Master Fu!"
Crash,
The boy's hand shook and the fishing rod fell.
He turned around in frustration: "Which bastard..."
