Miss An, a young lady with many servants by her side, could not possibly have been injured like this by accident.
Zhou Shushu pressed for answers, but An Yuan'er hesitated, looking troubled and not daring to say more.
Her face showed fear, but she said, "It doesn't hurt at all. It just looks scary."
Just then, the play in the hall reached its climax.
This play tells the story of a hypocrite who deceives a respectable woman into marrying him, then brutally beats and abuses her to death.
Young man: "You shameless woman! What's wrong with hitting you and cursing you? You're my woman in life and in death."
The young man grabbed the woman by the neck and began punching and kicking her.
The woman begged for mercy repeatedly, but only received a more severe beating in return.
Zhou Shushu suddenly realized something: "Miss An's injuries, were they also from being beaten?"
An Yuan'er suddenly stood up, looking around nervously, and covered Zhou Shushu's mouth: "Sister is confused from watching the show, how could Yuan'er have been hit?"
Her eyes darted away, and the more she explained, the more Bai Yuelan felt something was amiss.
Bai Yuelan asked softly, "I want to ask Miss Yuan a question from the bottom of my heart, is this injury related to the Sixth Prince...?"
An Yuan'er then relaxed her tone: "It wasn't a beating. The Sixth Prince said it was just a playful thing between men and women, something that happens in bed..."
Zhou Shushu's face turned deathly pale: "You two are already...?"
An Yuan'er turned away, wiping away non-existent tears, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. Turning back, her expression turned pained: "Yuan'er certainly didn't want to, but the man was too strong... Waaaaah~~"
The girl cried harder and harder, then excitedly grasped the two women's hands: "Thank goodness you two sisters are here, Yuan'er can finally rest."
When the two concubines were still in their boudoirs, they had heard that some men with physical disabilities had special fetishes in that area. They never expected that the Sixth Prince, who was handsome, would be involved in so many shameful deeds behind the scenes.
The last shred of hope that Yi Chenli held for him was shattered at this moment.
The two concubines looked dazed, worried about their future, fearing they might become the next An Yuan'er.
Just then, a cough was heard.
Eunuch Li appeared with a strange expression. Beside him stood the center of the conversation, the Sixth Prince.
It's unclear how long those two had been listening behind my back.
Li Gui's face turned pale and then red. This Miss An really didn't hold back when she slandered her master.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the two concubines were so frightened that they knelt down and unconsciously kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Sixth Prince."
The two of them had their heads down and didn't see that Yi Chenli's eyes were fixed on An Yuan'er, and their gazes met in the air.
There were no tear stains on An Yuan'er's face. She stuck out her tongue at Yi Chenli and made a face.
"stand up."
Yi Chenli's voice was already gloomy, and with this preconceived notion, the two concubines were so frightened that they couldn't get up at all.
"We kneel and listen to the prince speak."
Yi Chenli sat down opposite An Yuan'er, a playful smile curving his lips: "This prince just woke up and is a little hungry. How about we have steamed rat brains, braised toad meat, and pan-fried lizard meat for dinner tonight?"
The fried centipedes that An Yuan'er had sent had already made the two concubines question their existence, so when the Sixth Prince mentioned this dish, they started gagging violently, almost vomiting up all the bitter water in their stomachs.
Yi Chenli didn't even look at the two of them properly before saying, "You've been here for a while now, so you two will serve me tonight. I recently acquired a few good whips, so I'll give them a try."
