Yan Xuanye sneered, his expression thick with disdain: "Face? The two Jiang family girls were so aggressive just now, they didn't seem to have any respect at all."
Cuiwei nodded secretly in the corner after hearing what Yan Xuanye said, and whispered with trembling lips: "That's right, after all, she is still an unmarried girl, and you actually talked about the boudoir affairs between my daughter and His Highness behind her back. How shameless."
Cuiwei felt that Su Qian was good-tempered, but she couldn't stand how the two girls from the Jiang family talked about Su Qian behind her back. As a servant, she often walked in the backyard, so she naturally knew more than Su Qian.
If it weren't for the two of them, how could the rumors in the backyard be so ugly? Moreover, in order to protect her sister Jiang Xueli, Jiang Xuewei ridiculed her daughter in public. She couldn't stand it anymore and wished Yan Xuanye would find someone to smash the mouths of the two sisters.
In a deserted place, Jiang Xueli quietly grabbed a handful of Jiang Xuewei's embroidered robe. Her eyes became erratic due to fear, and her previous domineering look was gone. "Sister, what should we do? It seems that the King of Yan is really determined to humiliate us."
Jiang Xuewei tightened the handkerchief in her hand, looked at Jiang Xueli with a bitter look on her face, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she twisted her thigh hard and suddenly stood up.
She first calmly saluted Su Qian, and when she raised her eyes again to look at everyone present, there was a layer of hazy and shimmering light in her eyes.
Su Qian, who was observing everything, said: "..."
She seemed to have guessed what Jiang Xuewei would do next.
Jiang Xuewei's voice was filled with tears, and she spoke softly at this moment: "Goddess, I was rude just now. I apologize to you here."
Then he bowed solemnly, "Xuewei and her sister Xueli are willing to bear the punishment, but... a slap in the face is too severe. The goddess is also a woman, so she must understand how important a woman's face is."
"Please forgive me, goddess. Please show some mercy." Then she pretended to wipe away her tears with the handkerchief in her hand, but in fact she was secretly giving Jiang Xueli a look, indicating that she should apologize as well.
Jiang Xueli's IQ finally came online at this time. She quickly understood Jiang Xuewei's intention, stood up quickly, bowed deeply to Su Qian, and made some green tea quotes asking for forgiveness.
Su Qian: “…”
What a good trick. When showing strength doesn’t work, he starts pretending to be weak and asking for forgiveness.
Jiang Xuewei still had some brains. After all, it was the two sisters who offended Su Qian, which led to Yan Xuanye's revenge. Knowing that Yan Xuanye would not forgive them easily, she quickly apologized to Su Qian, hoping that she would let them go.
If she didn't forgive him, she would appear to be aggressive at this time.
Su Qian originally just wanted to serve as a warning to them, to scare them, and stop them from bothering her all day long. It was annoying just to see her, and if she was unhappy, then her sisters wouldn't have an easy time either. Now her goal had been achieved, and she had almost let out her anger.
Su Qian pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said to Yan Xuanye in a magnanimous manner, "Since the two girls have admitted their mistakes, let's not slap them."
Yan Xuanye's frown deepened slowly. He sighed, as if expressing regret: "The goddess is still too kind-hearted..."
Jiang Xuewei: "..."
Jiang Xueli: "..."
"Well, now that the goddess has spoken, I can't refuse her. So... I'll give her twenty slaps on the wrist, kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, and copy five Buddhist scriptures to bless and pray for the goddess."
Jiang Xuewei remained calm, but Jiang Xueli asked in surprise, "Copy five books!?"
Seeing that she was not convinced, Yan Xuanye shot her a cold look, "What? Are you not convinced?"
"It seems that your respect towards the goddess just now was all fake. Since you still don't know your mistake, then you should reflect on it for a while, just... a month."
"For this month, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You must sit in your room every day, reflect on your mistakes, and copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the goddess."
"I'll send someone to keep an eye on you. Don't even think about being lazy! If you continue to disrespect the goddess, you'll be in trouble."
When he said this, his temperament was cold and gloomy, which made people extremely scared.
Jiang Xueli lowered her head in fear: "Yes."
Why couldn't she control herself just now? Now she has to stay in the room for a month to reflect on her mistakes. God knows how many unexpected things will happen in this month!
If...if Yan Xuanye really married Su Qian, what would she do? What would happen to her future? She didn't want to just marry a poor scholar and live a life of poverty and hardship!
This is too humiliating, she doesn't want it.
Yan Xuanye immediately called a female guard named Lu Feng and ordered her to get a ruler to hit his palm.
Seeing Lu Fengban's serious expression, Su Qian suddenly thought of Zitan beside Lu Huan. When she was the prefect, Zitan followed her with such an expressionless face.
It has been more than 20 days since Lu Huan left Zhiyi City, and her mission has not made any progress. During the time she stayed with Yan Xuanye, she could not even get any news about Lu Huan. She really didn't know how to proceed with this mission.
Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Yan Xuanye hugged her in his arms and asked, "Why aren't you talking? Are you scared?"
Su Qian's thoughts were interrupted: "No, I was just thinking about something."
Fortunately, Yan Xuanye didn't try to understand what she was thinking. A smile crossed his lips. "Don't think about it for now. Lu Feng has brought the ruler. Let's see how the two of them will be punished."
Su Qian nestled in his hot arms and struggled slightly, but couldn't break free, so she simply stopped moving.
