Chapter 138 She even hated Xu Yi a little. What a bastard, why was he pretending to be a hero?

Duke Anguo Xu Yi, relying on his achievements in his youth and his status as a duke, never suffered any loss and was unwilling to let his son suffer any loss.

He was so arrogant that he dared to arrest the princess and even used the excuse of inviting the princess to be his guest.

When Jiujiu saw the guards from the Duke of Anguo's mansion coming to arrest her, she said calmly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sure, what can the princess do?"

Xu Yi raised his chin with a haughty look on his face, exuding a fierce aura.

Everyone in the lobby was so frightened by him that they dared not speak.

"What are you talking about? Take the man away!" Liu also spoke.

Jiujiu sighed, "Well, you asked for it."

Before the palace soldiers took her away, Jiujiu played with the sachet with frog embroidered on it and said, "Duke Anguo, the achievements you and your father made when you were young were stolen."

"You didn't set it up by yourselves!"

"If you dare to arrest me, I will tell my father about this when I return."

Many years ago, Duke Anguo and his old father had made great contributions in saving the emperor and supporting Emperor Zhaoning to ascend the throne. That is why the Duke Anguo's Mansion is so prosperous now, and Xu Yi also married Liu, the daughter of the prime minister.

But no one knew that the achievements of Duke Anguo and his father were all stolen from King Yin.

The person who actually rescued the emperor and secretly supported Emperor Zhaoning to ascend the throne was Prince Yin.

Because it was carried out in secret, not many people knew about it.

Duke Anguo and his father then had evil intentions.

They killed King Yin and took credit for his achievements.

It's a heinous crime.

So many years have passed, and the Anguo Mansion has kept the matter well hidden, and Xu Yi also thought that no one knew the truth.

When he heard Jiujiu say that, he was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

The truth will lead to the execution of all nine generations of the Duke of Anguo.

He tried his best to hide it, but it was still discovered.

Xu Yi's legs went limp and he knelt on the ground. His momentum was much weaker than before. He asked tentatively: "Princess, how did you know?"

Jiujiu spread his hands and refused to say anything.

Xu Yi recalled the rumors inside and outside the palace in the past two years. Princess Yongle had special abilities. She knew things that others didn't know, and she could even predict some things.

He always thought that rumors were not credible before, but now it seems that there is no smoke without fire, and rumors are not necessarily false.

Xu Yi was silent for a long time, thinking about how to solve the problem.

Liu, who was standing next to him, felt that she had been deceived into marriage and looked at Xu Yi with resentment.

At this time, a servant suddenly came to report that Qi Zhongshu had come, bringing with him several great scholars, and said he was looking for the princess.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi asked the servant to lead Qi Zhongshu and his party to the side hall first. He then knelt down humbly and begged for mercy, "Princess, please, please don't tell this to anyone, okay?"

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want the glory of the Anguo Mansion to disappear.

Liu, who was standing next to him, clenched her fists as she looked at Xu Yi's humble begging posture.

"Then why did you arrest me so that my father can give you an explanation?" Jiujiu asked Xu Yi innocently, her soft face full of ignorance of the world.

"Princess, how dare I say that?" Xu Yi lowered his head, as if he was depressed. "I don't dare. What I said just now was, was... we were joking with the princess."

Xu Yi regretted it. If they had not intended to capture the princess, the princess would not have told these things.

There were so many people in the hall, and they all heard it.

There will be endless troubles!

Xu Yi gritted his teeth.

Jiujiu touched her nose proudly, snorted coldly, and continued: "Will you still dare to allow Xu Ran to bully my Thirteenth Brother in the future?"

"Don't dare." Xu Yi said, "We will discipline the rebellious son from now on and never let him go against the princess and the thirteenth prince again."

"Really?" Jiujiu was a little skeptical.

After all, the reputation of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion for doting on the Crown Prince and making him extremely arrogant is well-known outside.

"Of course." Duke Anguo said, "If the princess doesn't believe it, I will discipline the prince now."

"Someone, bring the prince up here."

Xu Ran was lying in his room, recuperating from his injuries.

At this moment he was forcibly put on a stretcher and carried to the lobby.

Although Xu Ran is already fifteen years old and should be sensible, he is not sensible at all and always looks like a second-generation rich kid.

He blamed his parents in dissatisfaction.

"Dad, Mom, do you have any heart? I need to rest and cannot move. Don't you understand? You are so stupid."

"I am in so much pain, ouch, ouch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ran's ear was grabbed mercilessly by Xu Yi.

Xu Yi used some strength.

Xu Ran screamed in pain.

Liu stepped forward distressed to stop him and cursed: "Xu Yi, you liar, bastard, let my son go."

"You did those immoral things, why should my son take the blame for you?"

For many years, Liu had lived in harmony with Xu Yi and his wife, with almost no conflicts. However, at this moment, because of Jiujiu's words, she developed a rift with Xu Yi.

She even hated Xu Yi a little. What a bastard, why was he pretending to be a hero?

It caused her to marry the wrong person.

Xu Yi didn't like Liu who was making trouble with him, so he pushed Liu away and said, "What do you know? Get out of here!"

Liu was pushed to the ground and broke her elbow.

Xu Yi turned to Xu Ran and said, "Xu Ran, you are such a rebellious son, how dare you mess with the Thirteenth Prince? I will teach you a lesson today."

"Someone, please use the family law."

The servant brought a heavy and long ruler.

Xu Yi took it and hit Xu Ran again and again.

Xu Ran's back and buttocks were already severely injured, and now he was beaten by Xu Yi, who did not hesitate when he attacked.

Xu Ran was further injured.

Xu Ran howled in pain, his cries were deafening.

Liu tried her best to stop him, but it was useless. Instead, Xu Yi pushed her away several times and she fell to the ground, breaking her arm.

Liu kept scolding Xu Yi.

Xu Ran was also puzzled and said: "Dad, you actually beat me like this for the Thirteenth Prince?"

"I am your only son!"

Xu Yi seemed not to have heard Xu Ran's words. He asked, "Tell me, do you dare to cause trouble for the Thirteenth Prince again in the future?"

"father……"

Xu Ran cried out in grievance and didn't say anything.

Xu Yi increased the force of his hands: "Will you tell me or not?"

Xu Ran was reluctant to say it at first, but later he couldn't hold it anymore and gave in.

"I was wrong. I will never dare to cross the Thirteenth Prince again."

"Dad, please stop hitting me, okay?"

"If you keep hitting me, I'm going to die."

Xu Ran said, and then looked at Jiujiu who was lying in front of him and looked at him, "Are you satisfied? Say something quickly, or my dad will beat you."

"I know my dad beats me like this because of you."

I think only if Jiujiu asks Xu Yi to stop, will Xu Yi stop.

Jiujiu saw that it was almost time and the man was about to die, so he said, "That's it!"

Xu Yi stopped.

Jiujiu said: "Remember what you said today, otherwise, your secret will be exposed!"

"Okay, it's just Princess..." Xu Yi knelt down in embarrassment and begged, "Can you please not tell this to anyone? Especially don't tell the emperor?"

"As long as you keep your promise and don't mess around, I'll agree."

"I will keep my promise and not act recklessly."

"Then it's as you wish."

Jiujiu said this and prepared to leave.

In fact, Jiujiu could directly report to Emperor Zhaoning the scandal of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion claiming the credit for Prince Yin and killing Prince Yin, and solve the problem of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion once and for all.

In this way, no one will bully the Thirteenth Prince anymore.

The scourge of the imperial court was also eliminated.

But...
