The man called Anu stepped forward to grab Su Muyao.
Xia shouted from the side, "Stop! How dare you! How dare you teach our little princess such a lesson?"
Upon hearing this, the man named Anu froze on the spot. How could he not know that the young princess was the imperial advisor of the current dynasty!
That's a favorite of the current emperor. I heard he's just a little kid but he's so capable. Now it seems our young master has really messed with us.
The chubby boy was furious when he saw his servant stop working.
"What's there to be afraid of? She's just a little princess, and she has no blood relation to my royal family whatsoever."
"My father is the emperor's own son, surely he's not as powerful as a mere outsider like you?"
Su Muyao turned around and slapped him across the face: "At such a young age, using your royal bloodline to intimidate others is truly a disgrace to your father. I wonder if your father condones your behavior or if he is unaware of it? I'm quite curious!"
When the chubby boy heard Su Muyao mention his father, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Yes, despite his arrogance, it's because his mother spoiled him, while his father was exceptionally strict.
Upon seeing his expression, Su Muyao immediately understood that he must have been spoiled by that concubine.
Logically speaking, a child born to a concubine should call the princess "mother," while the concubine can only be considered a concubine.
But it's clear that the princess doesn't have a high status at home, and the child was raised by his own mother.
Suddenly I remembered what Xia said, it seems this must be the family.
Does that mean the Prince's mansion just finished holding a funeral? After all, wasn't the Princess Consort forced to her death just a few days ago?
Then the chubby boy rolled up his sleeves and cursed, "Who do you think you are to dare hit me? If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'm not Long Xilou."
Upon hearing this name, Su Muyao burst out laughing.
Who exactly gave him this name? His surname is Long and the last character is Xilou.
After saying that, he was about to hit Su Muyao, but Su Muyao tripped him and made him fall to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the chubby boy lay on the ground and cried loudly, and Su Muyao slapped his bottom again and again.
Anu stood anxiously to the side, but he didn't dare to go forward and pry open the little princess.
Xia was standing guard nearby, ready to retaliate if anyone dared to step forward.
Fortunately, having heard that it was a young princess, another servant had already run to find Liu Yun.
Anu finally saw Liu Yun running this way.
When Liu Yun pushed through the crowd, she saw her beloved eldest son being beaten by a little girl.
He stepped forward to pull Su Muyao away, but Xia grabbed him.
"Why are the kids fighting? Are you, an adult, going to interfere?"
Liu Yun's chest heaved with anger. When she calmed down, she realized that the person blocking her way was just a maidservant. She angrily said, "Get lost, you dog servant!"
Su Yaomu clapped her hands, tired from hitting him, and stood up: "Oh my, auntie, is this your kid? He really has a foul mouth. I've already disciplined him for you. You're welcome."
But then again, you two are practically identical, both with that foul mouth.
He clapped his hands and left with Xia.
Liu Yun naturally knew Su Muyao's status, but the most crucial thing was that she didn't dare tell her family about this, otherwise her precious son would be the one to suffer.
The wife in the family is always strict with disciplining her son. If she knew that her son had provoked the young princess first...
Then he got beaten up, and Xilou might get beaten up again.
Although he couldn't do anything about the little princess, his gaze towards Anu changed.
"Useless dog, what use are you if you can't even protect your master?"
Once they had all left, the onlookers clapped and cheered: "Well done! Our little princess is really amazing!"
"Exactly, this kid is taking advantage of his father's status to do whatever he wants, he deserves to be beaten."
Although the onlookers had dispersed, they were still discussing it, since the chubby kid was always grabbing food from one stall or another on this street.
They've never paid any money; these are just ordinary people who rely on selling these things to make money!
But given their status, he didn't dare ask them for money, leaving him with no choice but to suffer in silence.
Liu Yun, carrying her chubby baby, finally made it back home, panting and wheezing all the way.
She watched as her precious son cried himself to sleep, his face still streaked with tears.
She felt extremely distressed. After following him into the manor, Anu hurriedly went to find the family physician to examine the young master.
The physician examined the young master thoroughly and said, "Madam, the young master is fine. There are some red marks on his buttocks from being hit, but they will disappear after taking two doses of medicine in a couple of days. Madam, you don't need to worry."
Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but looking at her son's swollen and red bottom, she still felt a mix of emotions.
She is not yet the principal wife, and has not even been given the title of concubine. If it weren't for the fact that she has given birth to two sons, she would not have any say in the household.
Thinking back to the years before her eldest son was born, she had suffered a lot of disdain in the household. Now that she had finally made it to the end, she naturally wouldn't let her two sons suffer any mishaps.
As long as the two children are alive, no one can shake their position, including the other one.
"What happened today was just the children playing around and getting into a fight. I hope Mr. Li will not tell anyone about the fact that Xilou was treated for his injuries today."
Our Prince is extremely busy with official duties every day, so please don't disturb him.
Upon hearing this, the physician surnamed Li immediately bowed and said, "It's just children playing around, so please don't worry, Madam."
Liu Yun waved her hand: "You may all leave, but Anu and Xiaoli will stay."
All the servants left the room, but as they left, they looked at Anu and Xiaoli with a hint of pity.
They knew that these were the two people who went out with the young master today, but the young master returned injured.
No matter who hurt the young master, those two servants who failed to protect their master are definitely not going to live!
Anu and Xiaoli knelt on the ground, waiting for their fate. Xiaoli was only praying that the lady would show mercy and at least spare their lives.
The maids and nannies who were accompanying their mistress looked at her expression and their hearts skipped a beat. Since the young lady got married, she had hardly ever lost her temper. Now, it seemed... tsk tsk.
Sure enough, the next second Liu Yun pointed at Xiao Li and said, "You failed to protect your master, but since you took the initiative to come back to me, I will spare your life and give you 50 lashes."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Li kowtowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Madam, for sparing my life."
Although he said that, he knew in his heart that even if he didn't die from those 50 lashes, he would be crippled, but it was better than taking his anger out on his family.
Thinking back, it was because a maid prepared the bath water a little too hot that the lady scalded herself and slapped the maid. The maid retorted and the lady wiped out her entire family.
Immediately afterwards, the nanny went outside and called two guards, who dragged Xiaoli into the courtyard to be beaten with a board.
Liu Yun then looked at Anu: "Not only did you fail to protect your master, but you also allowed others to beat you, making your crime even more serious. Men, drag him out and behead him."
Upon hearing this, Anu pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and rushed to Liu Yun's side.
