Chapter 22 Close the door and beat the dog!
Murong Qing suddenly became anxious.
"How could this happen? I've never heard of Prince Ruyang having any contact with my father... Why would Princess Ruyang intercede for Liu for no apparent reason and even come to the Marquis's residence to cause such a scene?"
Jiang Wanning's eyes flickered as he thought of some of the characters involved in the original book.
"Princess Ruyang came here today, probably for Princess Rong'an."
"Princess Rong'an?"
"That's right," Jiang Wanning said as he walked quickly outside. "I just heard that your eldest brother Murong Heng saved Princess Rong'an from falling into the water a few days ago by the lake... Now that Liu has been sent to the government and imprisoned, Murong Heng must have sought help from Princess Rong'an to rescue her."
Princess Rong'an and the Prince of Ruyang and his wife are both difficult to deal with.
In the original book, at the instigation of Murong Yan'er and Liu, he often helped them bully others and suppress Murong Qing.
Jiang Wanning knew that this family was not easy to deal with.
I wanted to avoid his sharp edge.
But she didn't expect that Princess Ruyang would directly break into the mansion and injure her people. She couldn't tolerate that at all!
Murong Qing obviously did not expect that his elder brother would actually climb up the high branch of the Ruyang Palace. The more he listened, the more frightened he became.
"If that's the case, Baojuan is in danger..."
"snort!"
Jiang Wanning snorted coldly, already having a plan in mind.
"This is the Marquis' Mansion. No matter how noble her status as Princess Ruyang is, she can't act wildly under my nose. If she dares to force her way in, I will make sure she never returns!"
No matter how noble a princess is, how can she compare to the empress dowager's biological daughter, His Majesty's only sister?
She holds the trump card of the eldest princess in her hand.
Show it when the time comes and scare them to death!
…
When Jiang Wanning and his group hurriedly arrived, Baojuan had already been dragged into the yard. She had been whipped several times and her back was torn and bloody.
Princess Ruyang sat at the stone table with a happy expression on her face, obviously enjoying the pleasure of torturing those below her.
Murong Yan'er looked reluctant.
Pleaded with Baojuan.
"Miss Baojuan, I know you are the most favored maidservant beside my aunt, and you have always looked down on me and my mother.
If my mother has offended you in any way, I apologize to you on her behalf. I only ask you to clear my mother's name.
As long as you sign this confession, I will not pursue the matter of yesterday with you, and I will also save you from this physical pain..."
Princess Rong'an couldn't stand her being so humble.
I couldn't help but interrupt her.
"She's a lowly servant who doesn't know her place in society. Why are you begging her?! If she refuses to sign this confession, I'll beat her until she does! Madam Li, beat her hard!"
"Why!"
Nanny Li responded immediately, with a fierce look on her face, and raised her hand to hit Baojuan who was pinned to the ground.
"stop!"
Jiang Wanning walked to the entrance of the yard and shouted loudly when he saw this.
In an instant.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at her, and Nanny Li paused slightly.
Seeing Jiang Wanning striding towards her, Princess Ruyang pretended not to see her and only urged Li Ma.
"What are you standing there for? Didn't I make sure you had enough to eat? The beating was so light, this slave didn't even scream."
"Princess, please forgive me. I will hit you hard right now!"
With the support of Princess Ruyang, Nanny Li naturally did not take Jiang Wanning seriously. She clenched the whip in her hand and raised it high. With a "snap", she hit Baojuan hard!
He immediately whipped Baojuan until she vomited blood and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
"Baojuan——"
“Damn it!”
Jiang Wanning was angry.
She hurried forward, and before Li Ma Ma could swing the whip a second time, she snatched the whip from her hand and kicked her to the ground!
“Bang!”
In an instant, a whip shadow came with lightning speed and came straight towards Princess Ruyang who was standing beside the stone table, and landed squarely on her shoulder.
"ah!"
Princess Ruyang was caught off guard, and she screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Who would have thought that Jiang Wanning would be so bold as to whip himself? This is simply outrageous!
"princess--"
"Mother—"
Everyone present was stunned. Murong Yan'er and Princess Rong'an were both stunned. They stood there for a long time before they came to their senses.
He quickly stepped forward and helped Princess Ruyang up.
Seeing the bloodstains on her mother's shoulder, Princess Rong'an was furious.
"You crazy woman, how dare you hit my mother?! I think you're tired of living. Do you know that according to the laws of Dasheng, committing treason is as serious as deceiving the emperor?! Come... tie up this ignorant bitch. I must teach her a lesson today on behalf of my mother and Madam Liu!"
Suddenly.
But before she could finish her words, Jiang Wanning mercilessly whipped her with the whip, hitting Princess Rong'an.
"I'm not just going to beat your mother, I'm going to beat you too! You're so young and you're just following your mother's lead, bullying the weak... Since Prince Ruyang doesn't know how to discipline his wife and daughter, I'll do it for him!"
"Ling'er..."
Seeing that Princess Rong'an was whipped, Princess Ruyang's face turned pale with anger. She touched the wound on her arm with trembling hands and felt extremely heartbroken.
In this imperial capital, she had always been the one to teach others a lesson. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?!
Princess Ruyang was so angry that her eyes turned red.
He glared at Jiang Wanning hatefully.
"Bitch, you, a marquis' wife, dare to climb over my head and make a scene! Today, you have committed such a heinous act. I will report you to the emperor and ask His Majesty to punish you for the crime of treason by plotting to murder a royal relative. Just wait for your body to be torn into pieces by five horses!"
After throwing down these harsh words, Princess Ruyang knew that she was outnumbered in the Marquis' Mansion, and was also a little afraid of Jiang Wanning's madness, so she called Murong Yan'er to help Princess Rong'an up, and turned around to leave.
I plan to go to the palace immediately to appeal for justice and file a complaint in front of the emperor!
However, before they could take two steps, they heard Jiang Wanning say coldly behind them.
"When did I tell you to leave? This mansion is not the back garden of your palace. You can come and go as you please."
Princess Ruyang paused and asked harshly.
"What else do you want?!"
Jiang Wanning didn't answer her. He just lightly tapped the whip in his hand and gave instructions to Nanny Lin.
"Madam Lin, go get someone to lock the main gate and side gates of the mansion! I'm itching to do something today... Let's close the door and beat the dog!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Nanny Lin took the order and left without trying to dissuade her.
She had just seen Baojuan being beaten half to death, and she was furious. It was rare that the lady was so loyal and righteous and cared so much about them, the servants.
Even if the Madam really offended the Princess today, causing disaster to the Marquis's Mansion, she is willing to accompany the Madam to die and be punished together!
Princess Ruyang opened her eyes wide in shock. She thought she was already arrogant enough.
Unexpectedly, this Jiang was even more vicious than her!
"Are you crazy..."
Jiang Wanning sneered, "You're going to tear me apart. Can't I drag you and your daughter down with me before I die?"
Jiang Wanning has always been unreasonable towards unreasonable people.
She just wanted to let the mother and daughter learn what it means that evil will be punished by evil.
Seeing Jiang Wanning approaching step by step, Princess Rong'an was also a little panicked. She stepped back repeatedly and looked at the other servants in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Jiang has gone mad, and you, you won't stop her... When His Majesty blames you, you'll all be sentenced to death, and none of you will survive! If you tie her up now, I can still plead with His Majesty to spare your lives!"
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion remained unmoved upon hearing this.
Anyway, the lady has been crazy for more than a day or two.
Even the prince was beaten every day, but the marquis still doted on his wife and indulged her, and even felt sorry for her when she hurt her hands when she hit others.
Therefore, as long as the Madam doesn't rush into the palace and grab His Majesty's ears and beat him... with the Marquis' support, the sky of the Marquis' Mansion will not fall.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Murong Yan'er lowered her head and silently stepped aside.
But Jiang Wanning changed the subject and spoke.
"Of course, you can ask me to let you go. I have no grudges against your Ruyang Palace, and I don't want to go against you.
Since you are here for Liu, I don’t want my maid to suffer this injustice in vain.
How about this...
Yan'er, you are kind-hearted and you probably don't want to see the princess and the princess being humiliated because of your mother's affairs. Why don't you admit the crime?
First, it fulfills your filial piety, and second, it repays the princess and the county lord for their help.
I won't make things too difficult for you. I'll definitely plead with the prefect to give you a lighter sentence... What do you think?"
The words fell.
Princess Ruyang and Princess Rong'an, who were forced into a corner by the evil servants of the Marquis' Mansion, turned their heads at the same time and looked at Murong Yan'er.
Murong Yan'er: "..."
