Perhaps it was because Xuan Yuanche had accumulated a lot of prestige in the palace, but when the Third Princess heard Xuan Yuanche's name, she involuntarily trembled and her scalp tingled!
Little Imperial Uncle? What's he doing here?
However, no one could give her an answer at that moment.
Xuan Yuanche was already furious when he saw the Third Princess grabbing Xie Yushu's chin with a ferocious expression and pouring poison into her mouth. If it weren't for Er Yu stopping him to see what other schemes Jinghe had up her sleeve, he would have already come out and taught this ignorant fool a lesson.
What shocked him even more was that his seemingly honest and well-educated niece, after poisoning Xie Yushu, actually tried to pull out Xie Yushu's teeth. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but this Jinghe is truly vicious and outrageous!
Finally hearing Xie Yushu call him, Xuan Yuanche, who was already furious, rushed over like a gust of wind, lashing the Third Princess with his whip. After the first lash, he lashed out with several more.
"You bastard!"
By slaughtering meritorious officials in the court, where do you place the dignity and credibility of my royal family?
Your father just finished giving you a reward, and you chased after him to kill him!
Xie Yushu single-handedly improved the economy of the entire Great Qi, while you, disregarding the overall situation and for your own petty thoughts, disregarded the law of the country, acted rebelliously and unfilially. As a princess, you are disloyal to the country and unjust to the people!
Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your father! How could our royal family have given birth to such an idiot!
Caught completely off guard, Jinghe was beaten by Xuanyuan Che and fled in terror. Jinzhu and Yingluo were terrified, but as the princess's maids, they couldn't just stand by and watch. They rushed to Jinghe's side and took a few lashes for her.
Even so, the three of them, master and servants, still had several bloody marks drawn from their hands.
The third princess, while sobbing, tried to explain to Xuanyuan Che.
"Uncle, that's not how it is! Xie Yushu deliberately framed me!"
Yes, it was her, she and her henchmen who framed me!
"Uncle, I've been tricked by them!"
Jinghe then realized that Qu Xiaodie and the others had been feigning allegiance to her, but in reality, they were setting a trap for her and making a fool of her. It was outrageous!
"Qu Xiaodie, Sun Chongren, Zhao Hu, hello, very well!"
I'm here representing the Fifth Prince, yet you dare to show such disrespect to me and my fifth brother, daring to play tricks on me! You just wait!
Sun Chongren said dismissively
"We are born to be the princess's people, and we will die to be the princess's ghosts."
The reason you see us as greedy and power-hungry is because the princess needs to maintain the operation of the manor. The reason you think we are sentimental is because the princess treats us as brothers and sisters!
Our path was chosen the moment we joined Princess Ding. Today she needs a steward, and I will naturally be a steward. Tomorrow she needs a farmer, and I can go and farm. If she needs soldiers, I will definitely follow her and ride off to fight the enemy!
You are the one who thinks that if we give you high-ranking positions and generous salaries, we will betray the princess.
"It's you who's too arrogant and overestimates yourself!"
Qu Xiaodie also crossed her arms and sneered.
"I've seen plenty of shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. With the status of a princess and an empty promise from the Fifth Prince, you think you can take over Yuquan Manor? You're just delusional!"
Do they think we're all fools?
Upon hearing that the Fifth Prince was involved, Xuan Yuanche swung his whip three more times.
"Your father is still alive and kicking, what are you two trying to do?"
Forming cliques for personal gain and persecuting loyal officials—is this how you show filial piety to your father, huh?
Still not satisfied with what he had said, Xuan Yuanche kicked Jing He in the shoulder.
"Now, get back here right now and tell Xiao Wu that if you dare to stick your claws out again while I'm still alive, I'll chop it off!"
The third princess was so frightened she didn't dare breathe, nodding her head like a pestle pounding garlic.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I will go back now."
Then, without even bothering to pack her belongings, she left with her two palace maids.
The guards who escorted her here had been waiting outside the mountain gate, completely unaware of what had happened inside. Seeing her come out in such a disheveled state, they assumed someone had bullied her. After all, she was a princess, and Xie Yushu was truly outrageous. Thinking this, they decided to seek justice for Jinghe.
Jinghe quickly stopped her.
"Don't go! My young uncle is here. You should escort me back to the capital first!"
When the guard heard that Xuanyuan Che was here, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly hitched up the carriage, took the Third Princess, and drove back to the capital.
They came full of confidence, but returned empty-handed and covered in injuries. Jinghe even hated Xuan Yuanche this time, but there was nothing she could do. She could only go back to the Fifth Prince to discuss the matter further.
After Jinghe left, Xie Yushu instructed Zhao Hu
"Since the Fifth Prince has too many people to use, let's reduce his number."
"I'll take care of it here."
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he withdrew.
Seeing everyone gathered around, Xie Yushu shouted loudly.
"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now."
Let's have a small get-together tomorrow night. First, to thank our wise and mighty little royal uncle for driving away the third princess, so that everyone can finally have some peace and quiet!
Secondly, everyone has been on edge these past few days, cooperating with her for so long and keeping the secret of the resort so well. You've all worked hard, so this is a good time to give everyone a break!
Yay!
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, everyone happily began ordering food from Aunt Su.
Then I went back to rest early, planning to finish my work early tomorrow so I could have a good drink tonight!
Xuan Yuanche hadn't stayed at the manor for a long time. Seeing that Han Zhongyu seemed to have something to say to Xie Yushu, he glanced at Xie Yushu with a hidden yet greedy look, and then exclaimed...
"Having lashed the whip a few times, I'm tired; I need to rest."
He then went back to his own courtyard first.
My beloved has someone else; this place is no place for a human being!
Xuanyuan Che sighed inwardly.
Seeing that time finally belonged to the two of them, Han Zhongyu felt his longing of many days come to life. He stepped forward and tightly embraced Xie Yushu, inhaling the fragrance of flowers in her hair, and whispered...
I miss you so much, do you miss me?
"No!"
"I'm so heartbroken!"
"Just kidding!"
"These days must have been very tiring for you, managing the manor, keeping an eye on the Third Princess, and being mindful of her status."
"It's all my fault. If I had known I would offend her, I definitely wouldn't have entered the palace to teach."
"It's alright!"
We should be thankful that the Third Princess came only out of resentment and dissatisfaction for revenge. Fortunately, she is still young and has never managed the harem with the Empress. Although her idea is good, her methods are still a bit naive. If she were truly a cunning and shrewd woman, we might not be so unscathed.”
Han Zhongyu nodded silently.
The Third Princess's goals and ambitions must be considerable.
If it were Consort Chu in this position, she might have succeeded. In the end, the Third Princess is still too inexperienced.
However, since the intention to kill has already been made, there may be future troubles. Should we ask the old man to make some arrangements in the capital to marry her off to the emperor as soon as possible, so that she won't cause any more trouble?
