Wang An solicitously pulled over a soft stool and invited Ji Fengyao to sit down.
He pulled up a chair and sat down, his smile full of malice: "Lord Xue, your concubine, relying on her wealth, has looked down on my princess sister-in-law and even uttered foul language, slandering me and the Ninth Prince's wife. How do you plan to settle this matter?"
Xue Yanshou was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Yao Shi hard across the face, knocking her to the ground. "This ignorant and clueless country bumpkin is no match for you. You may decide what to do with her, Ninth Princess and Prince Wang!"
Rustic goods, worthless even in death, can be disposed of as they see fit.
Hearing these cold and ruthless words, Yao's enthusiasm was completely dampened.
Previously, she was worried about causing Xue Yanshou more trouble, but now Yao Shi has completely erupted.
She covered her swollen face, disheveled from Xue Yanshou's beating, and scrambled to her feet, crying and shouting angrily, "Xue Yanshou, you heartless, treacherous, and despicable liar! Have you forgotten how you coaxed me into becoming your concubine? You said you had half the sky above you, and you were climbing a ladder to heaven; you even said that as long as my father supported you financially, you would become the number one imperial merchant in the Great Zhao Dynasty, and then you would divorce your first wife and make me your legal wife—all of that is utter bullshit!"
Xue Yanshou never expected that Yao would be so brainless, daring to say such things so openly.
If these words reach the ears of Wang Bingyao and Ninth Prince, he can forget about living; the one above him will definitely not let him off!
"You filthy woman, shut up right now!"
Enraged, Xue Yanshou lunged forward, grabbed Yao's collar, and began to beat her mercilessly.
Yao was a fierce and outspoken woman. The more she was beaten, the more unrestrained her words became: "Xue Yanshou, you heartless swindler! Don't think I don't know what you've been up to behind the scenes. You've been swindling so much money from all over the country, and you've got no good intentions. You tricked my father and the others into using you as tools for making money. Fine, go ahead and beat me to death, and see if my father and the others will fall for your tricks again. They're not stupid!"
"You damned woman, you stinking hag, shut your mouth right now! Shut up! Shut up!" Xue Yanshou had gone mad.
Each blow was more ruthless than the last, as if he wanted to grab a knife and slit the woman's throat right then and there.
Originally, the Ninth Prince was ordered by the Emperor to conduct a thorough investigation in the capital. Now that she said these things in front of the Ninth Prince's wife and Wang An, wasn't she determined to take the lives of his entire family?
Seeing that Xue Yanshou was about to beat Yao Shi to death, Ji Fengyao quickly gave Xi Que a look.
Xi Que rushed forward and kicked Xue Yanshou, who was committing the crime, away from Yao Shi, and said angrily, "How dare you! Our princess is still inside, and you're beating cats and dogs, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Who are you trying to scare!"
“Lord Xue, if you want to rectify your family's conduct, just do it behind closed doors after we leave. We have no interest in your family affairs.” Seeing Xue Yanshou’s viciousness, Wang An’s face also turned cold: “Let’s talk about how to resolve this matter first; does Lord Xue want to settle it publicly or privately?”
Xue Yanshou was kicked by the magpie and was short of breath. He was angry, scared and anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Family scandals should not be made public. How about we settle this privately?"
"Lord Xue, you can't just say things like that. Our Princess and Prince are completely innocent. How could there be any family scandal? Please make your words clear." Lin Shuang was absolutely unambiguous about Ji Fengyao's reputation.
Xue Yanshou didn't even bother to look at Wang An, and instead begged for mercy from Ji Fengyao.
