Chapter 397: Treating such a stupid woman like a pig as a treasure for so many years is really ridiculous
Mo Liwen coughed lightly, "Why don't you pay your respects to the Regent and the Princess?" Mo Liwen's voice interrupted Aunt Mei's reverie.
She finally came to her senses and hurriedly bowed. "Your Highness, Princess Regent, Your Highness, this guard beat my daughter for no reason. You must not show partiality or corruption. You must punish him severely."
Mo Liwen helplessly pulled Aunt Mei aside and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! Don't say anything more!"
Lan Xiyue chuckled, her voice a little playful: "Tianyi, she is accusing you, do you have anything to refute?"
Aunt Mei's sharp voice rang out again: "He's just a guard, what is there to refute?" After she finished speaking, she really saw Lan Xiyue's appearance.
The woman in front of her had a beautiful face and an elegant temperament. Aunt Mei's heart sank. She was the Regent Princess? This woman was not easy to get along with at first glance. Her Jiaojiao was so innocent, how could she beat her?
Aunt Mei was secretly thinking in her heart that she had to find a way to make the Regent dislike this princess so that her Jiaojiao would have a chance to take the throne.
Mei's concubine curled her lips into a cold smile, her eyes gleaming with calculation. "Princess Regent, you won't protect this guard, will you? Or did this guard act under your orders to do this to our Jiaojiao? Princess, we women should be more generous. How could a man of such rank as the Regent be surrounded by only a single woman like you?"
Mo Liwen shuddered when he heard this, "You..."
"Oh, Master, I'm just telling the truth. Will the Regent Princess be angry because I told the truth?"
An Yi watched this scene from the side, his shoulders shaking slightly as he couldn't help laughing.
He secretly glanced at Tianyi and saw that Tianyi nodded slightly, his eyes full of mockery.
The two men secretly complained in their hearts: This woman is simply courting death, she actually dares to provoke the princess.
Mo Liwen threw Aunt Mei away and knelt on the ground, shaking with fear, his voice trembling: "Prince, Princess, please calm down, this is your concubine... she, she doesn't know the rules..."
Mo Liyuan's face was terribly gloomy, and his finger joints made crackling sounds due to the force, as if they would explode at any time.
Lan Xiyue shook her head at him and interrupted Mo Liwen, "Concubine? So it's just a concubine. City Lord Mo, your concubine is a bit ungrateful and arrogant."
Aunt Mei frowned when she heard this. She was about to retort but was stopped by Mo Liwen's sharp look.
Mo Liwen's voice was low: "Shut up!" These three words were like ice, making Aunt Mei shiver.
But she still refused to give up. She stamped her feet and said aggrievedly, "Master, why do you always tell me to shut up? Jiaojiao is still lying in bed. She has suffered so much injustice. It just so happens that the prince and princess are here. Let the prince make the decision for our Jiaojiao."
Mo Liwen slumped on the ground, looking hopeless. His once resolute eyes were now filled with despair and regret.
He was wrong, utterly wrong. Normally, he doted on Aunt Mei, almost to the point of indulgence, to the point where she couldn't see the situation clearly. He was just a city lord stationed in Fengcheng. In front of Regent Mo Liyuan, he was nothing, not even a fallen leaf. What a foolish woman!
Lan Xiyue stared at Aunt Mei with a sharp gaze. "From what you just said, I, your princess, believe that your daughter was beaten, and you actually think it was me who ordered it? You also implied that I am narrow-minded and not magnanimous enough? Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mei curled up her lips in a disdainful smile and rolled her eyes, seemingly unimpressed by Lan Xiyue's questioning: "Princess, if it weren't for your order, how could a mere guard like him dare to hit someone so casually?"
Lan Xiyue's voice turned cold: "Tianyi, slap me in the face and let this ignorant woman see how petty I am."
When Tianyi heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He had been furious for a long time. This daughter of Aunt Mei had trespassed into the military camp, which was an unforgivable crime. Now she dared to confuse right and wrong and fabricate faults for the princess in front of her.
Tianyi moved and rushed in front of Aunt Mei like a gust of wind. Before she could continue speaking, he slapped her hard in the face.
Aunt Mei's body stiffened, and she staggered and almost fell down.
Before she could stand firm, Tianyi slapped her again, this time with more force.
Aunt Mei was beaten so hard that she saw stars and was completely stunned.
When she realized what was happening, she immediately yelled, "Master, save me..."
Seeing this, Mo Liwen felt even more desperate. He kowtowed to Lan Xiyue and Mo Liyuan, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! She is an ignorant woman, she has never seen the world, and she doesn't know the rules!!!"
Lan Xiyue nodded gently, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "A concubine doesn't know the rules and has little knowledge. Then this princess will help you teach them. Does the Lord City Lord have any objections?"
Mo Liwen shook his head like a rattle. "No, no problem. It's an honor for this fool to be taught a lesson by the princess."
"She is a concubine, why hasn't she seen your wife?" Lan Xiyue's voice was calm and cold, as if she was asking about an unimportant matter.
"In reply to your Majesty, my wife has been bedridden for many years..."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue frowned slightly, and a hint of understanding and disdain flashed in her eyes, "Oh, no wonder a concubine is so arrogant." It was another story of favoring a concubine and killing the wife, but this concubine was too arrogant and stupid. After all, she was now the regent princess, but she dared not take her seriously.
Seeing this, Mo Liyuan curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile. He gently put his arm around Lan Xiyue's waist and said, "Yuer, let's go."
In his opinion, instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go back and spend some time with Yue'er.
The two smiled at each other, turned around and left. Mo Liwen knelt on the ground with empty eyes, as if he had lost all his strength.
In the corridor, Mo Feifei stood quietly, watching Aunt Mei being slapped hard with a cold gaze.
There was not a trace of sympathy in her heart, but instead an indescribable sense of joy. She looked at her father's humble figure, feeling mixed emotions, and she couldn't describe what she felt.
"Miss!" Xiaoyi called softly, her eyes full of heartache and worry.
Mo Feifei turned her head and looked at Xiaoyi, a bitter smile curling up at the corner of her mouth. "Xiaoyi, look at your father now. Do you think he has any regrets? It's ridiculous that he treated such a stupid woman like a pig as a treasure all these years!"
