Bai Chuxiao was in a bad mood. She shook off his hand and said, "If I ever run into something like this again, you can just die." After saying that, she ignored him and walked straight inside...
Realizing she was genuinely angry, Chu Tianze said with annoyance, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you go and rest? I'll handle it. I promise this will never happen again."
Bai Chuxiao's face was cold, but she still felt a surge of anger inside and didn't want to hear him speak...
Chu Tianze felt a pang of regret. He shouldn't have considered Shen Tao and instead killed Shen Ru directly. Now, he had unnecessarily angered Xiao Xiao, who had never treated him like this before...
Everyone in the flower hall watched Shen Ru being dragged away cautiously. Wasn't this Miss Shen? The Shen family were trusted confidants of the Prince of Yan, yet they were being treated so ruthlessly. What had they done?
The two sat back down at the head of the table. Bai Chuxiao's face was icy, and she didn't speak for a moment. Seeing her expression, no one dared to speak. Madam Shen and the others knew she was angry and dared not plead for them.
Madam Murong and Madam Er frowned. It was unwise to embarrass the Shen family like this, but seeing Xiao'er's expression, they swallowed back what they wanted to say. This girl had always been opinionated, and now she was probably truly angry...
After the people from the martial arts arena arrived, Bai Chuxiao coldly said, "Gentlemen, you have come from afar. I'm sure some of you are still unaware of my rules. Those of you who wish to enter the Prince of Yan's residence, or those who intend to send your daughters there, I advise you to give up that idea."
As long as I am here, no one can enter the Prince's residence, no matter who they are. The last shameless Princess Yuwen Minke of Beiyan is dead, and now this Miss Shen has appeared, still unwilling to give up, completely disregarding my words. Since that's the case, let's all see what happens to those who rush to serve the Prince of Yan..."
After saying that, Bai Chuxiao waved her hand, and Qing Shuang and Qing Zhu also drew their soft whips. The two of them, in perfect unison, lashed Shen Ru's body one after another, causing Shen Ru to only let out a series of screams.
The Shen family members couldn't bear to look away and turned their heads to the side. Other young ladies also watched this scene in horror. They didn't expect that the Princess Consort of Yan would be so ruthless. Everyone was also secretly observing the Prince of Yan's expression. Would the Prince of Yan really not care about the Princess Consort of Yan's actions?
However, when they looked over, they saw the Prince of Yan looking at the Princess of Yan with a fawning expression, seemingly not caring at all about the reputation of his powerful subordinate, the Shen family...
Bai Chuxiao suddenly said, "Stop first."
Qing Shuang and Qing Zhu immediately stopped, looking at them with suspicion. The princess wouldn't be so merciful; they hadn't had enough yet...
Everyone looked on in confusion. Had the Princess Consort of Yan finally remembered the Shen family's reputation?
Seeing the expressions on the faces of those below, Bai Chuxiao sneered, "What kind of nonsense is this soft whip? Replace it with one with barbs."
Qing Shuang and Qing Zhu were finally relieved. That's more like it; the princess shouldn't have let this kind of person go...
The servants quickly brought back the barbed whips; their cold, sharp points sent chills down the spines of everyone present. The two young maids, however, showed no mercy, lashing out with different techniques.
The blows caused blood to gush from Shen Ru's entire body. She had never practiced martial arts, and after screaming for a while, she finally succumbed and fainted.
Even the timid girls trembled at the sight. Just when everyone thought that Miss Shen had fainted and the matter was over,
Bai Chuxiao said coldly, "Wake her up."
"Yes," Qing Shuang replied, taking a pill from her bosom and stuffing it directly into her mouth.
Qingzhu took a basin of cold water from a servant and poured it on her.
Shen Ru immediately opened her eyes, crying out in pain. The chill and pain throughout her body brought her back to her senses. She had already given up on the idea of marrying the Prince of Yan. This Bai Chuxiao was a devil...
Bai Chuxiao sneered, "Continue? Weren't you quite principled back then?"
Without hesitation, Qingzhu and the other two lashed out, and with a flash of cold light, the whips struck Shen Ru's body again.
"Ah!" Shen Ru screamed repeatedly, yet she remained perfectly conscious; she couldn't even faint if she wanted to.
Those with weaker nerves lowered their heads, unable to bear looking any longer. Shen Ru's appearance was truly pitiful; she was soaking wet, and her clothes were soaked in blood, revealing only her mangled flesh...
Kong Xihan, who was being supported by Murong Xuan, also felt somewhat uncomfortable. Her face turned pale, and she felt nauseous. She tried to suppress it several times, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer and bent over to dry heave.
Murong Xuan said worriedly, "Xi Han..."
Bai Chuxiao noticed the commotion, turned her head, and frowned, saying, "Second Brother, take Sister Xihan to rest."
Kong Xihan did not refuse; she was pregnant and indeed could not bear to witness this scene. Murong Xuan quickly helped her out, realizing that he hadn't considered things carefully...
The game continued unabated. Amidst their fear, the crowd couldn't help but admire Miss Shen's backbone, her ability to persist for so long. But no one knew that Shen Ru was now unable to speak out; she was being forced to continue…
Seeing Shen Ru's miserable state, Madam Shen couldn't bear it, her eyes reddened, and she knelt down again, "Please, Your Highness, spare my daughter's life..."
Shen Xuanxuan and Shen Yiyu also knelt down and begged, "Please spare our lives, Your Highness." Although they didn't understand or like Shen Ru's actions, the three of them were, after all, siblings...
Bai Chuxiao's eyes were thoughtful. For some reason, she felt that her anger had not subsided and she did not want to let Shen Ru off so easily...
Seeing that she wouldn't budge, the Shen family members could only plead repeatedly. Madam Murong said softly, "Xiaoxiao, you've taught her a lesson enough. Why don't you let her go?" Killing the Shen family's daughter at this point would inevitably chill the Shen family's hearts...
Bai Chuxiao suppressed her agitation and said coldly, "As my aunt wishes, Qing Shuang and Qing Zhu, please stop."
"yes"
The Shen family members quickly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness."
Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "I don't want to see her again. Madam Chen should know what to do."
Madam Shen bowed again, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will never allow her to leave the Shen family's residence again."
Bai Chuxiao coldly swept her gaze across the people below, "Did you all see clearly?"
Everyone immediately knelt down. Since the Princess Consort of Yan showed no fear towards the daughter of the Shen family, how could those of them, who weren't so close to the Yan Prince's residence, dare to harbor any further thoughts… This Princess Consort of Yan seemed kind, but they never expected her to be so ruthless; sending her daughter in meant certain death…
Bai Chuxiao stood up, ignoring Chu Tianze, and left with her maids.
"Respectfully seeing off the Princess," everyone bowed their heads low...
Madam Murong and Madam Murong cautiously glanced at Chu Tianze. Why was this girl openly giving the prince such attitude...?
"Your Highness, this banquet..."
Chu Tianze said calmly, "That's enough. I'll leave it to the two ladies."
"Yes," Madam Murong and Madam Murong breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the prince wasn't angry.
Chu Tianze stood up, kicked Shen Ru hard, and then chased after Bai Chuxiao in the direction she had left...
