Chapter 1256 - 45: Joyful Debts (Part 21)
Princess Yinchuan held the whip with a fierce expression.The maid knew how angry her princess was. They had managed to escape from the marriage, only to fall into the hands of the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t avoid this; it was an inevitable karmic bond.
Can one avoid such fate?
Since it couldn’t be avoided, she had no choice but to submit.
If she really whipped the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, how could she live in the mansion later?
Although the princess had a noble status, being the Emperor’s precious jewel, this was Daqi, thousands of miles away from Beimo.
Under the eaves, one must bow their head.
The maid persuaded earnestly, but Princess Yinchuan wouldn’t listen.
Thinking of Su Yang stinging her with bees and forcing her to walk, then coaxing her back to Daqi, and just now causing her to be stung by bees several times again!
With new grudges and old hatreds, unless she whipped him bloody, she couldn’t vent her anger!
Princess Yinchuan pushed aside the maid, holding the whip, and walked out aggressively.
Su Yang was hanging from a tree outside.
Normal people would feel dizzy when hung upside down, but Su Yang was different. He was used to it, having been hung since he was a child.
Princess Yinchuan came over with the whip, the maid following behind, pulling and persuading.
The princess was not rational in her anger, but these maids had to be rational.
However, Princess Yinchuan’s maid numbered only four, while the courtyard was full of maids and women from the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
Yet, the ones trying to pull and persuade were only the maids of Princess Yinchuan.
The maids were anxious beyond words.
They had never seen anything like this in Dongxiang Marquis Mansion; their princess was about to hit their young master, and no one came to persuade her.
Not persuading was one thing, but they even stopped working to watch the fun with interest.
Such subordinates would have died countless times in the Beimo Palace.
The four maids blocked Princess Yinchuan, making it impossible for her to advance, even snatching the whip from her hand.
Princess Yinchuan said angrily, "Now that we’ve entered the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, are you all not listening to me anymore?!"
"Are you still regarding me as your princess?!"
The maids said fearfully, "We acknowledge our guilt, but the princess must not strike the Prince Consort."
"What Prince Consort?!" Princess Yinchuan said angrily.
"He’s already divorced me!"
Su Yang, hanging there, chimed in, "The divorce letter doesn’t count!"
The maids immediately felt encouraged, "The Prince Consort himself said the divorce letter doesn’t count."
Princess Yinchuan pointed at Su Yang, "Are you listening to him or to me?!"
"We... we listen to the Emperor," one maid quickly replied.
"The Emperor wishes for the princess and the Prince Consort to live harmoniously together."
The maid was clever; saying that left Princess Yinchuan speechless.
Though they were Princess Yinchuan’s personal palace maids, even the princess had to listen to the Emperor, let alone they as mere little palace maids.
Princess Yinchuan was furious to the point of bursting.
Both were princesses, yet if someone bullied the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei, her maids would rush out with whips, impossible to stop.
But here she was, ready to act herself, and her maids held her back!
Princess Yinchuan’s face, still swollen from bee stings, ached more from anger.
Su Yang spoke sympathetically, "Don’t hold her back, let your princess whip me a few times to vent."
The maids were silent, "...."
Alright.
The Prince Consort had spoken; what should they still obstruct for?
They only wished the princess would lash him a few more times.
The four maids quickly stepped aside.
The whip, snatched away, returned to Princess Yinchuan’s hand.
Princess Yinchuan was almost livid enough to spit blood.
She wanted the maids to clear the way and give back the whip.
But it shouldn’t have been Su Yang’s words that made them do so!
Her authority as a princess was not even comparable to the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion who bullied her.
This was a slap in her princess face.
Princess Yinchuan not only wanted to whip Su Yang, but even her maids as well.
With the whip in hand, Princess Yinchuan walked to Su Yang, ready to strike.
Her hand was raised, but the whip was slow to follow.
Su Yang’s face looked too pitiful.
Earlier in the pavilion, he shielded her, thus got stung by bees several times more, otherwise, he wouldn’t be this miserable.
Though she wanted to whip Su Yang, Princess Yinchuan hesitated to do it.
But letting Su Yang off so easily, she felt unwilling.
She let out a cold snort, "You want me to whip you, and I’ll whip you? How could a princess like me take orders from you?!"
Su Yang was silent, "...."
He smiled, "I knew you couldn’t bear to whip me."
The hard words were merely a mask for her soft heart.
The woman he liked had to be gentle-hearted.
Princess Yinchuan’s palms itched with irritation.
The maids and women of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion twitched the corners of their mouths.
The Second Young Master still couldn’t shake off his habit of inviting a beating. Wasn’t he goading Princess Yinchuan to whip him?
Who knew if their newly arrived Second Mistress would actually whip the Second Young Master?
