Chapter 321: I Raided His House
Ruyu trembled all over and looked at Nanny Xu imploringly, then at the princess.
A sneer appeared on Nanny Xu's lips, and the princess didn't even glance at Ruyu from the corner of her eyes.
Ruyu had no choice but to stand up tremblingly and kneel at Xiao Yu's feet.
Xiao Yu sneered, "You are so courageous. You, a girl who doesn't want to serve your mother and concubine properly, dare to hook up with the housekeeper of the outer courtyard and stir up trouble in front of your mother and concubine!"
"Come here, drag her down, beat her forty times! Then kick her out!"
When Ruyu heard the forty boards, she only had time to say "Ah——" before she fell softly to the ground and fainted.
The two women dragged Ruyu out and made a plank in the yard.
When Butler Wu walked into the yard, he saw Ruyu lying on the ground, her lower body covered in blood, and two women holding boards more than a foot wide, hitting her rhythmically with one blow at a time.
Butler Wu's legs were weak. When Shitou called him, he had a bad feeling. Now that he saw Ruyu being beaten, he didn't understand anything.
For a moment, his buttocks seemed to be aching, and he wished he could grow eight legs and escape from here.
Shitou glanced at him, sneered and dragged him into the house.
Butler Wu knelt down as soon as he entered the door. He almost prostrated himself on the ground. He didn't know where to go. He just kept kowtowing, "Princess, please spare my life. Prince, please spare your life."
Xiao Yu looked coldly at Butler Wu who was paralyzed on the ground, and sneered, "Spare my life? I want to spare you, but I just spare you, but I don't know how you will harm me in the future!"
Butler Wu kept saying, "Young ones don't dare, little ones don't dare."
"Haha, what are you so afraid of!"
"Last time you smashed up Miss Gu's shop, I didn't do anything to you. I just gave you a small punishment. Unexpectedly, it only made you more courageous."
"You colluded with officials in private and instigated the girl in front of the princess. You are very brave!"
"What did you say to me last time? Two thousand taels of silver is your entire net worth. Haha, do you think I really believe it? I'm just too lazy to argue with you."
Xiao Yu got angry and shouted out the door, "Shitou, go ahead and order a hundred personal guards and seize Butler Wu's house for me!"
"I want to see today how much money you, the great butler of the palace, have!"
Shitou replied angrily: "Yes, little one, let's go right away."
Butler Wu collapsed to the ground with cold sweat on his forehead, and the Persian carpet under him was instantly soaked.
After Xiao Yu finished his instructions, he stopped making any sound and just closed his eyes and waited.
At this time, the mother-in-law outside came in and reported: "To the princess, to the prince, I have finished forty strokes, and Miss Ruyu has run out of energy——"
Aunt Xu took a step forward and said, "You deserve to be dragged out and thrown into a mass grave outside the city."
The mother-in-law responded and retreated.
Everyone in the room became more and more angry and did not dare to come out. The princess sat on the beauty's back and moved uncomfortably.
Seeing that it was already dinner time, the girls in the room were all concentrating and holding their breath, not daring to go out to pass the food.
After a long while, the princess said cautiously: "Yu'er, you just came back. I think you haven't had dinner yet, so I asked someone to pass the food to you. How about you eat it here?"
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, "The mother-in-law can use it for herself. If the son doesn't eat it, he will be full of anger."
The princess looked at Aunt Xu for help, and Aunt Xu said softly: "Your Majesty, Butler Wu deserves to die. It will be fine if he loses his temper. However, His Majesty's health is important. You must not damage your body for the sake of a slave."
