Chapter 60 Yun Zhaoxue, take off your clothes and give them to me.
Shen Qingyu threw the prison uniform stained with dog feces at Yun Zhaoxue.
She didn't want to wear those disgusting prison clothes, so she found a place to change them, but the guards ordered her to change back. Everyone in the exile group had to wear prison clothes.
If she didn't want to wear it, she could take it and exchange it with Yun Zhaoxue.
Yun Zhaoxue picked up a stick from the ground and smacked it back, "Smack!"
The patch of dog poop on her face, the familiar smell filling her nostrils, made her gag on the spot, "Ugh...ugh..."
"You bitch, I have no grudge against you, why did you hurt me?"
"You bitch, I have no grudge against you, why are you cursing me?"
Yun Zhaoxue countered with a question.
“My prison uniform got dirty because of you, so you have to take your clothes off and give them to me.”
"Who threw dog poop at you? Who are you going to blame? It wasn't me who threw it, so why should I take off my clothes and give them to you?"
"Everyone, be the judge!" Madam Shen shouted, drawing everyone's attention, attempting to use public opinion to force Yun Zhaoxue to take off her clothes and give them to her daughter. "Yun Zhaoxue caused my daughter's clothes to get dirty, shouldn't she compensate me?"
"Yes, it is only right to compensate others for damaging their property."
Among the exiles, the Third Prince's faction, protected by the Third Prince, considered themselves superior, while the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, having been convicted and exiled, was considered the lowest rung of the exiles. No one dared to speak up for Yun Zhaoxue; instead, they all took advantage of her misfortune.
In particular, Madam Duan of the Duan family had been pushed down by Yun Zhaoxue and injured her waist, which still aches slightly, and she hated her to the core.
"Yes! She should pay for it. If she doesn't, we should strip her naked. She still thinks she's a princess and a crown princess. Now she's just a prisoner!"
Xiao Xuance said, "Madam Duan, the Duan family has also been exiled, and you are also a prisoner."
Madam Duan continued, "Young Master Xiao, no, there is no young master now. We dare not compare ourselves to you. You are traitors who betrayed the country, while we are innocent. Perhaps one day the emperor will grant a general amnesty and recall us to the capital to resume our original positions."
Yun Zhaoxue seized on the loophole in her words and sneered, "Both thunder and rain are the Emperor's grace. If the Emperor says you are guilty, then you are guilty. How dare you question him? The Duan family is not convinced by the current Emperor. Do they want to rebel or... replace the Emperor with someone else?"
Upon hearing this, most people's expressions changed, especially the Third Prince.
This foolish woman wants to kill him. His father is already wary of his natural imperial bearing. If this gets to his father's ears, even exile might become a pipe dream.
The Third Prince, with a gloomy face, gave General Duan a meaningful look.
Madam Duan's expression changed drastically. "I didn't say that. You're deliberately misinterpreting me."
If this gets back to the Emperor's ears now, we'll lose our heads at the city gate.
General Duan stormed over and dragged Madam Duan away, shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting, you woman? Go back!"
Shen Qingyu said, "Mother, let's not waste time talking to her. We don't have time. If she won't take it off, we'll help her."
As soon as she spoke, more than a dozen women from the Shen family rushed towards Yun Zhaoxue.
Xiao Xuance stepped forward and shielded Yun Zhaoxue behind him, saying, "I don't need you this time. I can manage on my own."
He couldn't resist the guards for the time being; he would be whipped before they let him go.
She didn't even consider the Shen family, who were just exiled prisoners, a threat.
Yun Zhaoxue stood still and stretched her wrists and ankles.
Despite being shackled, she was more than capable of handling the group of women.
The first to rush forward was Shen Qingyu, who was going to take off Yun Zhaoxue's clothes.
Madam Yang and her two daughters-in-law were pushing and shoving Madam Shen and other female members of the Shen family.
Madam Yang said, "Xue'er is innocent too. If you want to settle scores, go find the person who threw dog poop at you."
Mother Shen sneered, "Hmph! Innocent? If she hadn't deliberately wandered into the middle of our group, how could my daughter have been hit by dog poop?"
Seeing the Xiao family in trouble, Xiao Xiuning, who had run to the back, wanted to return to help, but Ye Hongying stopped her, saying, "Wait a minute, the person they're looking for is Yun Zhaoxue. They won't make things difficult for the Princess and the Prince."
Xiao Xiuning thought of the time Yun Zhaoxue had helped her in prison, and she couldn't bear to see her undressed in front of so many people, especially since she was pregnant with her nephew or niece.
Ye Hongying held her tightly and said quickly, "If you go, it's the same as helping her. She'll look down on you even less in the future..."
Meanwhile, Shen Qingyu saw Xiao Xuance standing still and assumed that he also loathed Yun Zhaoxue, which was why he didn't stop her, so she became bolder.
She had only intended to take off her clothes, but now her hands were itching to hit someone, and she raised her hand to slap her.
She strained with all her might to lift her hand and shake the chain, settling both old and new scores this time.
Yun Zhaoxue grabbed her wrist and slapped her across the face. "Smack!"
With that movement, the chains on her hands lashed out at her neck, leaving a long, bloody gash. Shen Qingyu was flung away like a rag doll, screaming, "Ah!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Yun Zhaoxue shook her hand with a look of disgust, as if she had smelled dog poop and felt utterly disgusted.
It must be that Shen Qingyu had dog poop on her face and hadn't washed it off properly.
"Quickly bring me some water to wash my hands."
Xiao Xuance handed him water to wash his hands, and he slowly dried them with a handkerchief.
Shen Qingyu covered her face and lay on the ground crying, "My face, my face is disfigured, waaaaah..."
The men of the Shen family all ran over here, a dozen or so of them.
On the Xiao family's side, there was only one adult male, Xiao Xuance, who was seriously injured and had his martial arts skills crippled.
They have trouble even walking; they're definitely no match for the Shen family.
Everyone thought they would die a terrible death.
The guards divided into several small teams, each responsible for a specific household of prisoners.
I originally didn't want to get involved in the women's hair-twisting, thinking I'd let them disperse once they were done, but then I saw the situation getting increasingly out of control.
I had no choice but to step in.
The escort leader, Lao Liao, walked over. Pointing at them with the rope, he said, "What are you all doing? You still have the energy to fight? Why don't you go and pull the cart instead of the donkeys?"
"No matter what your status was before, you are all exiles now, and you are all under my jurisdiction, understand?"
"Officer, I understand. We are exiles now, but the Shen family is going too far. They tried to strip me naked in public. I'm just a weak woman, and I'm six months pregnant. Everyone is bullying me, and I'm so helpless. I almost got stripped naked. If I were stripped naked and seen naked, I wouldn't want to live anymore, sob sob sob..."
Yun Zhaoxue used her acting skills to squeeze out two tears while touching her pregnant belly.
Seemingly ashamed, she turned around and buried her face in the man's shoulder, letting out soft sobs.
She can only squeeze out two drops at most; she can't squeeze out any more.
Feeling the man's stiff body, standing like a wooden statue, she quietly reached out and pinched his waist. "Brother, could you cooperate a little?"
Xiao Xuance winced in pain, then gently placed his hand on her waist. "My wife, it's my fault for being so incompetent as to not be able to protect you."
It was the first time I'd called her "Madam," and I was still a little awkward.
"Why did you take off her clothes? Even the exiles have rules. You can't loot. That's a serious violation of discipline. Do you know you were wrong?"
Shen Qingyu, who had just been helped up, angrily said, "I did nothing wrong. It's because of her that my clothes got covered in dog poop. She has to take off her clothes and give them to me. And you guys hold her down. I'm going to hit her back."
Old Liao smirked, a chilling smile playing on his lips, as he gripped the whip tightly in his hand.
