Chapter 9: Kicking the Prince

Madam An came back to her senses from the surprise of seeing her daughter.

She was not stupid, so she followed her daughter's gaze and saw that An Ruxue had a simple and confused look on her face, as if she did not understand An Yunxi's accusation.

If An Yunxi had seen this scene in her previous life, she would have thought that she did not mean it, but was just speaking her mind.

After all, An Ruxue had been pretending to be like this in the An family for more than ten years.

In these years, she had never done anything out of the ordinary, and was simply obedient to the extreme.

Even though she was just a concubine's daughter, she studied hard and practiced calligraphy, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She could be said to be a model of a daughter from an aristocratic family.

Especially because her mother jumped into the cold lake to save Madam An, she has been in poor health for the past few years. The doctor told them all that Madam Liu could never get pregnant again.

A madam who couldn't give birth to a son could not shake Madam An's position at all. In addition, she saved Madam An's life. Therefore, Madam An treated her as a sister and An Ruxue as her own daughter for so many years. All her food, clothing and expenses were exactly the same as An Yunxi's.

Madam An, who was protecting her son, had a slightly cold face. She turned her head with a cold expression and said to An Yunxi, "This girl can't control her mouth. I will discipline her later."

Seeing Madam An's eyes, An Ruxue lowered her head with a slightly pale face, as if she wanted to hide herself. She looked so humble and pitiful.

To outsiders, it seemed that Madam An and An Yunxi were like some kind of prehistoric beasts.

An Yunxi couldn't help but sneer. No wonder she didn't see through An Ruxue's disguise. This person is born to be good at acting.

It's a pity not to be an actor.

Oh, she forgot that An Ruxue's mother was an actor. When her mother was pregnant with her, her body was always weak. After General An accompanied his colleagues to drink, he accidentally had a relationship with an actor, so she was only one year younger than her.

This year, An Yunxi is seventeen years old, and An Ruxue is sixteen years old.

An Yunxi shook her head: "Mother, you still spoil her too much, and spoil her to such an ignorant manner. You can't teach her the rules, it's better to hire a powerful tutor to teach her the ways of the world."

An Ruxue suddenly raised her head and stared at An Yunxi with wide eyes.

Every tutor in the palace was fierce and powerful. Once a noble family asked them to teach their daughter, they would teach her to death.

How could she, a weak concubine, withstand such torture?

"Mother, Ruxue knows she was wrong. It was Ruxue who talked too much and damaged her sister's reputation."

She finished her words in front of everyone while sobbing, and then raised her hand and slapped herself a few times. The slaps were not too heavy, but they made her already pale cheeks turn red in an instant.

The prince on the side could no longer stand.

When he saw An Ruxue walk in, he couldn't help but look at her. When he heard An Yunxi speak against her, he felt even more distressed.

Seeing her being wronged and her cheeks hurt, he could hardly restrain himself and stood up and said, "An Yunxi, I used to think you were just stubborn and willful, but I didn't expect you to treat your sister like this. Ruxue is weak, do you want to force her to death?"

He suddenly spoke, not only Mrs. An was stunned, but also General An.

Seeing the prince defending An Ruxue like this, General An immediately lowered his head to hide the joy in his eyes.

"Madam, Ruxue just said something wrong by accident. You don't need to make such a fuss. She stayed up for days and nights to take care of you at home. Yesterday, she almost fainted because she was worried about her sister. You and Yunxi should not bully her too much."

General An's words fully showed the image of a gentle father. He was a tough guy with a soft heart.

But this gentleness was for another woman's daughter.

An Yunxi didn't expect a man who had a child with an actor when his wife was pregnant to be a human being. Most importantly, he was the one who gave her the cup of poisoned wine in her last life. They were

indeed a father and daughter. They were more sinister and vicious than the other and good at pretending.

If he hadn't married her mother, General An would still be an unknown deputy general, how could he have the honor of being a general now!

Mrs. An was indeed moved by what she said. Looking at An Ruxue's pitiful face with red cheeks, she was also wondering if she had really gone too far.

The corners of her lips moved slightly, and she said, "Then..."

But before she could say anything, An Yunxi interrupted directly: "A commoner's daughter is so outspoken, she should be slapped in the mouth, don't you see what kind of occasion this is, how can she have the right to speak?"

"This..."

An Yunxi's words were sharp, and for a moment, General An couldn't refute.

The prince was eager to protect his woman: "An Yunxi, you are willing to degenerate and you don't allow others to say a word? It is unethical to marry a person who has stolen your relatives. Are you happy with the service of the emperor's uncle last night?"

This is absolutely an extreme humiliation for a woman.

"How dare you!"

Ling Fengxun shouted, interrupting the argument. He pulled An Yunxi behind him and looked at the prince with his eyes slightly lowered.

The tall figure, which was half a head taller than the prince, was filled with a strong sense of oppression, which made the young prince's pupils shrink for a moment.

The next moment, a shocking scene appeared.

Ling Fengxun took two steps forward and stood in front of the prince. Then he raised his foot and kicked the prince in the lower abdomen.

The prince flew backwards and was caught by several guards behind him.

This scene happened too suddenly, and Ling Fengxun's actions also shocked people.

That's the current prince!

The heir apparent of a country, but he kicked and kicked whenever he said so!

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Even the current emperor has never hit the prince.

The prince only felt his head buzzing, and his mind went blank for a moment. He completely forgot to react, leaving only the clear pain in his lower abdomen.

An Yunxi was also dumbfounded.

She knew Ling Fengxun was crazy, but she didn't expect him to be so crazy!

If the news of beating the crown prince spreads, he will be impeached by the civil and military officials of the whole court!

However, Ling Fengxun obviously doesn't care.

"Prince, what you just said, is it possible for a crown prince to say it? Since your father doesn't care, as your elder, I will teach you a lesson on his behalf!"
