Chapter 222: Ruined Appearance
Xiao Baozhu spit out a harsh sound, "It's better not to have this kind of thing."
Yuan knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Ninth Princess, please have mercy on me and spare Ying'er this time. She and Xue'er are sisters, and she certainly wouldn't want to see her sister die! I beg you..."
She knocked her head so hard that soon blood started to seep out of her forehead.
When Xiao Baozhu saw this, she felt a surge of distress in her heart, for Xing Chuxue.
Fortunately, she did not witness this with her own eyes, otherwise, how sad would she be?
Xiao Baozhu took a deep breath and said, "It's okay if I don't have to beat him."
Yuan was delighted when she heard this.
"Thank you, Princess, for your grace. Thank you, Princess, for your grace!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life! Since Madam Xing ordered Chuxue to be slapped on the palm for her own good, then slap Miss Xing on the palm as well. That way, Madam Xing won't feel bad."
Ye Hanyi followed suit, saying, "Chuxue's palms were swollen and red from being beaten. Over the past few days, she must have been beaten dozens of times. Madam Xing loves Chuxue so much and criticizes her harshly, so when it comes to Miss Xing, she should treat her equally, right?"
Yuan's joy froze in an instant, and she was so blocked that she couldn't speak.
Xing Chuying's face changed drastically, and she looked at Yuan for help, "Mom, I don't want it!"
The fingers are connected to the heart, so if you really hit the palm, it would hurt so much!
Yuan was heartbroken and wanted to plead for mercy, but Xing Shijie said coldly, "Just slap her on the palm! Not only her, but you too! Beat her until you truly repent!"
Yuan's face froze, and the plea for mercy that had not yet been uttered was instantly stuck.
After hearing this, Xiao Baozhu finally felt a little relieved.
At least he knows what he is doing.
The maid brought a long, flat bamboo stick and hit her on the palm of her hand, causing her to feel the pain leave her soul.
Xing Chuying burst into tears after being hit only once. She subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but the executioner was Shuanghua, who was extremely strong. No matter how much she cried and screamed, the board fell heavily and steadily without any pause.
After being hit for fifty times, Xing Chuying's hands were bloody and she was completely unconscious from the pain.
Yuan was better off than her, but her face was also distorted with pain.
Sure enough, it was only when the board fell on my body that I felt the pain.
Xing Shijie's face showed no trace of pity. "Take her away and let her reflect on her life in the courtyard. Cut off her usual food supply and provide her with the same amount as the most ordinary maid."
The ordinary maids in the Xing family could also eat their fill, but the fineness of their meals could not be compared with that of the eldest lady Xing Chuying.
Xing Shijie was disappointed with her and naturally didn't want to be polite to her.
"And you, you should also reflect on yourself during this period. I will leave the household affairs of the mansion to Concubine Li!"
Yuan was originally feeling sorry for the punishment Xing Chuying had received, but she didn't expect that the anger would turn against herself, and she suddenly panicked.
"Master, how can we let a concubine take care of the household affairs? How can she handle such a heavy responsibility?"
Xing Shijie sneered, "At least she doesn't dare to act on her own and cause such a terrible disaster. Come, take the lady away!"
Xing Chuying was supported by her maid and taken away. Her palms were burning with pain, and a flame of hatred seemed to be burning in her heart.
She remembered this grudge today.
She will not admit defeat. Sooner or later, she will return the humiliation she suffered today in full force!
Xing Shijie dealt with the mother and daughter in front of them, making his position and attitude clear. He also repeatedly humbled himself in front of Xiao Baozhu and begged her to show mercy.
Xiao Baozhu said leisurely, "It's not impossible for me not to complain to my father."
Xing Shijie was immediately alerted when he heard that she was about to give in. "Princess, if you have any other conditions, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to fulfill them!"
Xiao Baozhu showed disgust. "I don't want to see her with a face exactly like Chuxue's. She doesn't deserve it. Lord Xing, do you understand what I mean?"
This is also what Xing Chuxue meant.
She couldn't bring herself to kill her own sister, but she also didn't want to let it go so easily.
The two sisters look too similar. If there is one thing, there will be another. There is no guarantee that Xing Chuying will not use this face to do something else.
Destroying her face was both a punishment for her and a way to prevent future trouble.
Xing Shijie was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant.
This meant that he had to ruin Xing Chuying's face.
Appearance is one of the most important assets of a woman. Ruining her appearance is equivalent to ruining her future.
Xiao Baozhu raised an eyebrow, "Why, Master Xing is reluctant?"
Xing Shijie gritted his teeth, "She brought all of this upon herself, so I naturally have no regrets. I will definitely see to it!"
"Then I will wait for good news from Master Xing."
After finally sending those people away, Xing Shijie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he realize that his back was already wet with cold sweat.
He worked diligently in the officialdom, fearing that he would make even the slightest mistake, but they had directly gotten him into such a big mess.
Although the matter has been temporarily suppressed, the Xing family has also gained a big handle in the hands of the other party.
Originally, he had no intention of taking sides in the fight for the throne, but after that, he was afraid he would have no choice.
This daughter is so bold and daring. We can’t let her stay in the capital any longer, otherwise, who knows what terrible disaster she will cause.
She must be married off far away from the capital.
What's more, if her face was disfigured, she would not be able to find a good family in the capital, and marrying far away would be her best way out.
Xing Shijie thought about this matter, his brows furrowed tightly, and did not relax for a long time.
After leaving the Xing family, Xiao Baozhu felt relieved.
"It's so satisfying! Seeing them crying and screaming for their parents after being beaten makes me feel happy."
Ye Hanyi felt a little regretful, "I didn't get to see her disfigured with my own eyes, which is a bit incomplete after all."
Xiao Baozhu showed disgust on her face, "I don't want to watch it. I'm afraid of having nightmares."
If not for this, she would have had him executed in front of her.
Lu Zhiran had only one thought in her mind: such a scourge could only be eradicated by killing her. Sparing her life would be too merciful.
But this was Xing Chuxue's decision. She and Ye Hanyi's previous proposal had already crossed the line, so there was no reason to say anything more now.
Back at Yaoguang Pavilion, Lu Zhiran called Shuanghua over and handed her a box. "You've performed very well today. This is a reward for you."
Shuanghua quickly refused, "I'm just doing my duty."
Lu Zhiran stuffed the box into her arms without question.
"Just take it if I give it to you. There will be many places where I will need you in the future. I am also trying to win your support."
Today she once again realized the importance of having such a skillful maid by her side.
Without her, their plan would not have been so easy to succeed.
Shuanghua solemnly took the box and said, "Thank you for the gift, young lady. From now on, I will do my best to serve you."
Lu Zhiran smiled and nodded, letting her go down to rest.
Soon, the Lu family will be in turmoil again.
With Shuanghua around, she will definitely be able to help me a lot.
