Chapter 19: You are the one who deserves to be punished
There were many people gathered in the courtyard of the palace storehouse.
Nan Jiao whipped the howling Manager Xu with a whip.
I saw Manager Xu covered in blood, it was a horrible sight.
Everyone present was trembling.
"Princess, please spare my life..." Manager Xu cried and begged for mercy.
"No mercy for you! This is the fate of those who dare to bully me!" Nan Jiao cracked the whip in her hand with great force, taking the opportunity to show off her power.
To prevent some short-sighted people from causing trouble for her and Ruyi.
"ah……"
Manager Xu let out a horrific scream of pain.
Everyone felt horrified and their scalps went numb when they saw his torn appearance. They didn't expect that this stupid and evil woman would still be so arrogant after marrying into the Prince Jin's Palace.
That’s too much!
"Stop!" After seeing the situation in the yard clearly, Zhan Beiheng said angrily with a sullen face, the rage in his heart rising.
Nan Jiao put away the whip and said with a smile: "Prince, you are here."
Zhan Beiheng's handsome face was covered with dark clouds, "What are you doing!"
"I'll help you discipline people." Nan Jiao said as she pulled the whip in her hand. This was a treasure she bought specially on the street today. It was quite useful.
"Your Highness, the princess beat me without any reason. Please help me." Manager Xu cried loudly with a swollen face and a bruised nose.
Zhan Beiheng looked at Nan Jiao, "Why did you hit someone without permission?"
Nan Jiao raised her red lips and said coldly, "He was the one who hit Ruyi first, so of course I have to hit him back!"
"Your Highness, it was the princess's maid who broke a valuable vase in the storeroom, and I was the one who gave her a lesson," Steward Xu said hurriedly, feeling extremely angry.
He had been working as a manager in the warehouse for a long time and had never suffered such humiliation.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to do that. I was picking up something at that time and I don't know how I bumped into the vase." Ruyi said tremblingly.
She was horrified when the vase broke.
"It's because you were so impatient that you broke the vase." Manager Xu said angrily.
Nan Jiao snorted coldly, her almond-shaped eyes sharp as a knife, and she said meaningfully: "Are you sure you didn't deliberately put the vase there for Ruyi to break?"
"Princess, what nonsense are you talking about!" Manager Xu's voice suddenly became louder, and he felt a little guilty.
"Or maybe you broke the vase a long time ago, and you're afraid of taking responsibility, so you took the opportunity to find a scapegoat." Nan Jiao smiled coldly.
He needs to go back to school and start over if he plays tricks on her.
"Miss, when I went to get something, I really didn't see the vase there." Ruyi said bravely, otherwise she would never dare to damage the vase in the palace.
"Manager Xu!" Zhan Beiheng's eyes were dark and threateningly sharp.
"Your Majesty, I did not do such a thing. It was the master and servant who framed me in order to evade responsibility. I am truly innocent." Manager Xu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to protest his innocence.
Nan Jiao sneered in her heart, looked at Zhan Beiheng and said, "I know a set of needlework that can make people tell the truth, why don't you let me test it?"
"Manager Xu, I'll ask you again, are you lying?" Zhan Beiheng's handsome face with clear features was gloomy.
"I don't have any," Manager Xu insisted. He didn't believe in any needlework method that could make people tell the truth.
Zhan Beiheng looked at Nan Jiao, "For the sake of fairness, I will let you take the test."
"Your Highness is wise." Nan Jiao praised generously.
When Manager Xu saw Nan Jiao walking towards him with a long and thin golden needle, he swallowed hard and felt inexplicably uneasy.
How does she test it?
Nan Jiao raised her red lips slightly and stabbed the golden needle into a certain spot behind his neck.
"Ah..." Manager Xu screamed, his body shaking uncontrollably, his face turned pale, and beads of cold sweat kept oozing from his forehead.
Nan Jiao took out another golden needle and stabbed it into his philtrum.
"Ahhhh..." Manager Xu's body twitched and he screamed like a slaughtered pig. His expression was so painful that it seemed as if he was enduring the most cruel punishment in the world.
At this moment he wished he were dead.
The people around felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, making them feel cold all over and all the hair on their bodies stood up.
"Manager Xu, this needle will make your life worse than death. You will be in a dilemma, neither living nor dying." Nan Jiao waved the two-finger-long golden needle in front of him.
The bright red lips curled up into a devilish smile.
Manager Xu's pupils shrank. He felt like he was living a life worse than death. If he was given another shot, would he be killed directly?
"Princess, spare my life. I'll tell you what I'm saying. The vase had a crack, and I deliberately let it go so that Ruyi could break it. I wanted her to take the responsibility."
He wanted to be tough, but his body wouldn't allow it, so he had to confess.
Nan Jiao sneered and took out her golden needle.
Zhan Beiheng's eyes were cold and fierce, and he said coldly: "Punish Manager Xu with thirty strokes of the cane, throw him out of the palace, and never employ him again."
"Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I was confused for a moment. I was wrong. Please spare me for the sake of all the years we have been together. I promise..."
Mo Ran and Mo Li didn't give him any chance to speak and dragged him away directly to avoid offending the prince.
Nan Jiao looked at Zhan Beiheng and said with a dandy smile, "My Lord, next time there are disobedient servants in the mansion, let me take care of them. I promise to make sure they are well disciplined."
Zhan Beiheng stared at her coldly. He didn't expect that her methods were so cruel.
Is this the real Jiang Nanjiao?
"I think you are the one who deserves to be punished the most!" He said in a deep voice with a dark face. How dare you show off your power in his palace? Do you really think this is a general's residence?
Nan Jiao: “…”
She just did what she was supposed to do, why does she deserve to be punished?
…
The imperial palace.
Yongfu Palace.
"Aunt, you must make the decision for Zishan. Jiang Nanjiao is too much. She knew that I was the daughter of the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion, but she still asked me to kowtow to her three times in public."
Wei Zishan cried and complained. Thinking of the scene in the pharmacy, her heart was filled with overwhelming hatred.
In the past, she was the one who made fun of Jiang Nanjiao.
I didn't expect that she would outwit me today.
She's lost all face!
"What's going on?" The Queen frowned, and thought of Jiang Nanjiao with disgust in her eyes. She always followed Qing Heng in the past, but luckily she became the Princess of Jin.
Otherwise it would be really unlucky!
How could her son marry a fool!
Wei Zishan wiped her tears and told the story of the pharmacy in detail, "Aunt, everyone knows that she is a fool. I thought she couldn't save the child, but I didn't know..."
"You underestimated the enemy." The queen said sternly, her well-maintained face looking frosty.
This damn Jiang Nanjiao!
Even if she won the bet, she shouldn't have made Zishan kowtow to her three times in public. This would not only be a slap in the face of the Cheng'en Marquisate, but also a slap in the face of her as the queen.
"Zishan will remember the lesson, but she must have set a trap for me on purpose." Wei Zishan said angrily with gritted teeth, tears falling continuously.
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly.
It was obvious that Jiang Nanjiao was setting a trap.
She won, and Zishan kowtowed three times.
If she loses, she has to kowtow ten times. Upon hearing this, Zishan readily agreed to the bet.
