Before Mu Yazhi could react, a slap landed directly on her face. The burning pain made her feel like her face was about to be disfigured.
"Ya'er!"
Lu Wei stepped forward to support Mu Yazhi and said anxiously.
"Mu Yazhi, it seems you haven't had enough of being slapped. Your mouth is so foul and you can't speak human language. Well then, today I'll teach you what manners to show and what to say when you see me."
As she spoke, Mu Chenshuang rubbed her wrist, her forceful demeanor as if she were about to teach a lesson instilling fear in others.
"Linglong, bring me the whip."
Lu Wei looked up in alarm, her pupils constricted as she stared at Mu Chenshuang, her eyes brimming with anger. "Shuang'er, you've gone too far."
"This is outrageous! Should I, a princess, be humiliated by a lowly concubine's daughter? Who gave her the audacity to bully me? She has no sense of hierarchy or manners. Even if I punish her with a cane today, who dares to stop me!"
Mu Chenshuang's domineering demeanor startled Lu Weixin.
Mu Yazhi covered her cheeks, her angry eyes wishing she could tear Mu Chenshuang to pieces and devour her alive.
Suddenly.
"Ya'er, quickly pay your respects to your sister," Lu Wei suddenly said.
Mu Yazhi harbored deep resentment. Despite her unwillingness, she could only endure it, step forward, and curtsy to Mu Chenshuang, saying, "Ya'er greets elder sister."
She thought to herself with a ruthless grin: Mu Chenshuang, you just wait. Soon, you won't be able to hold your head up in front of me anymore.
As long as she wins the Empress Dowager's favor and complains to her, letting the Empress Dowager know that she, Mu Chenshuang, is a woman of bad character, she can get the Emperor to take back her gold medal and strip her of her title of princess.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Mu Yazhi and said coldly, "If you don't know the rules, then you will stand here in this position for three hours, so that you will remember the etiquette you should show me and the words you should say when you see me."
These words were spoken.
Mu Yazhi's expression changed drastically. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Mu Chenshuang, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred.
Lu Wei's face instantly darkened. "Shuang'er, you've gone too far. Ya'er was just momentarily careless. Besides, she has already bowed to you. Why are you being so aggressive?"
Mu Chenshuang gave a cold smile, "So what if I'm being aggressive? Didn't you say you were very busy? You still have the leisure to stroll around outside. Have you finished dealing with the affairs of the manor, or have you sorted out my accounts?"
His slightly lowered eyelids exuded a compelling aura, making one feel as if their heart was being pressured.
Lu Wei narrowed her eyes and stared at Mu Chenshuang, clenching her fingers and taking a deep breath.
"Ya'er made a mistake and should be punished."
Mu Yazhi could only suppress her anger, because she knew that her mother would not stand by and watch her be punished.
Mu Chenshuang glanced at her, then lowered her gaze and instructed, "Linglong, you stay here and guard this place. Do not leave even for a moment."
Although Linglong was still shaken, she had no reason to be afraid of what her mistress dared to do.
"Yes, Miss."
Before leaving, Mu Chenshuang whispered a few words in Linglong's ear, then looked up at the mother and daughter and warned, "If I come back and see that Linglong is even slightly injured, don't blame me for being impolite."
Mu Chenshuang left the Marquis's residence.
Lu Wei's eyes instantly turned extremely fierce, and she suddenly looked at Linglong. Linglong was startled by such a look, and she forced herself to suppress her fear and bowed respectfully, saying, "I hope Madam will understand. This is the Princess's order."
As Lu Wei listened, a sinister smile curled at the corner of her lips. Mu Chenshuang was really confident to leave a useless maid here to guard the manor. Did she really think that she, Mu Chenshuang, was in charge of the manor?
Mu Chenshuang went to the inn to administer acupuncture to Qiye.
After three acupuncture treatments, some toxins were expelled from his body, and his damaged meridians improved. His external injuries would take some time to heal. Although he could use his spiritual energy to administer medicine, there was no need to expend so much energy. However, he had a good constitution, so his recovery was quite fast.
Now it's perfectly acceptable to bring them back to the Marquis's residence.
