Long Live the Empress

Chapter 336 Jade Face Whipped

It was already evening when Yue Yuyan returned to Yue Mansion.

The gatekeeper looked at Yue Yuyan's graceful back with strange eyes and shook his head.

A young lady from an official family should just eat well, drink well, dress well and wait to get married, why does she always have to cause trouble?

The old lady listened to the sound of humming a little tune coming from the gate of the courtyard and slightly opened her cloudy eyes. Who else could it be but Yue Yuyan with a rosy face?

Yue Yuyan didn't expect that the old lady would be in her yard, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Grandma...Grandma...Grandma...Why are you here?"

"Heh...you don't know the good things you have done?"

Yue Yuyan lowered her head, her eyes rolling, "Grandma, it's not that my granddaughter doesn't know the rules, it's really the Fourth Prince..."

As she spoke, a shy blush appeared on Yue Yuyan's face.

The old lady is an experienced person, how could she not understand Yue Yuyan's meaning, "Oh? So the Fourth Prince forced you? Tomorrow I will go to the Fourth Prince's mansion to find out!"

Yue Yuyan choked. Was the old lady getting senile? She and the Fourth Prince had had many private encounters. How could this be forced?

"Grandma, you're joking... My granddaughter and the Fourth Prince are in love..."

"Oh? You can stay out all night just because we are in love?"

"..." Yue Yuyan didn't expect the old lady to be so disrespectful to her, and she was a little angry in her heart, "Grandmother, the Fourth Prince has been troubled by work recently, so I thought that since I and the Fourth Prince are engaged, I should share some of his worries..."

"Oh, Third Miss, what do you mean by engaged couple? If I remember correctly, Third Miss is going to be a concubine in the Fourth Prince's mansion, right? How can a concubine call herself a wife? Third Miss, please don't say these words that don't understand respect and inferiority in the future, otherwise people will think that Third Miss is going to be the Fourth Prince's principal wife..."

"Aunt Fu, you..." Yue Yuyan's face turned red with anger. She hated it most when people called her a concubine!

"Is Fu'er right? You must remember that you are going to the Fourth Prince's mansion to be a concubine! If you keep talking nonsense like this, you will have a hard time when the Fourth Prince marries a wife! It doesn't matter if you are punished alone, but don't let people say that my Yue family doesn't know how to teach their daughter!" The old lady cared about nothing more than the future and face of the Yue family. Yue Yuyan's words touched the old lady's reverse scale!

"Yes..." Yue Yuyan responded reluctantly, and suddenly noticed Yue Jinghao sitting next to her. A sinister look appeared on her face, "Big sister, why are you back? You and the groom... Grandmother, please don't be angry with you, it must be the people outside who talked nonsense... Please don't punish you, grandma..."

Everyone in the room looked at Yue Yuyan performing alone as if they were fools. Yue Jinghao seemed not to hear anything and took a sip of tea.

Yue Yuyan raised her head and glanced around, and also realized that something was wrong.

"grandmother……"

"Paws!"

At the old lady's command, an old woman reached out and slapped Yue Yuyan twice, making her dizzy.

"Grandma, why are you hitting your granddaughter? It's the elder sister who is fickle, she should be punished!"

"You dare to attack Jing'er and tarnish her innocence? Slap her in the face again!"

Yue Yuyan knelt on the ground and tried to get up and run away, but the old woman grabbed her by the collar, "Miss San, I'm sorry!"

"Clap clap clap..."

There were bursts of slaps. The old lady didn't say stop, and the old woman's men didn't dare to hesitate. After a few slaps, Yue Yuyan's charming face swelled up like a pig's head, blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and her hair, which was carefully combed in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, also fell down...

"Grandma...Grandma...I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again..."

"What's wrong?" asked the old lady.

The old woman stopped, raised her hand, and stepped aside.

"..." Yue Yuyan knelt down at the old lady's feet and begged, "Granddaughter shouldn't have made up stories about big sister, but granddaughter was also deceived! Grandmother, send someone out to listen to how ugly the words said about big sister are..."

The old lady kicked Yue Yuyan aside without waiting for her to finish. "You are still stubborn at this moment? I really underestimated you! Someone, whip her!"

Yue Yuyan shook her head in fear and tried to hug the old lady's legs, but was carried away by the servants. "Grandma... Grandma, my granddaughter was wrong... Grandma, please forgive me..."

The servants tied Yue Yuyan to the bench neatly and whipped her with a long whip.

Yue Yuyan's painful cry for mercy resounded throughout the Yue Mansion, but Manju felt happy when she heard it: I'll let you do bad things! I'll let you ruin my lady's reputation!

“Grandma, how about…” Seeing Yue Yuyan being whipped more than a dozen times, Yue Jinghao “had a good heart” and wanted to plead for Yue Yuyan.

The old lady interrupted Yue Jinghao and said, "Jing'er, don't plead for her. She deserves it! She never thought about what would happen if you couldn't stand those rumors!"

Yue Jinghao pursed her lips as if she had heard the old lady's words and said nothing more.

The old lady is really good at saying that if Yue Yuyan didn't know the consequences of such rumors, why would she go to so much trouble to frame her? The old lady is just calling her now...

Yue Yuyan was whipped thirty times before the old lady asked the servants to stop. As she was dying, she heard Yue Jinghao say coldly, "This is just the beginning. Just wait and see!"

Yue Yuyan fainted from the pain before she could ask.
