An Xue Tang ignored these people and didn’t care what kind of looks they were giving her. After letting the soldiers get up, she looked at Xiao Qin who was wailing on the ground with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Cheng Ru’er came to her senses and put on a weak and pitiful expression, “You… how can you be so callous? My maidservant did nothing wrong to you.”
One of the soldiers snorted, “Deserved to die for talking disrespectfully to our princess! She’s not worth anything anyway!”
“What princess?” A young woman named Xiaqi spoke up, very dissatisfied. She helped Xiaqin to her feet and glared at the soldier, “Our young mistress is your future princess! Don’t think just any cat or dog deserves that position.”
The soldiers instantly became enraged, clenching the swords and guns in their hands. At a single command from An Xuetang, they would send these ignorant people to hell.
At this moment, Mo Yun Jing’s sharp and magnetic voice rang behind An Xue Tang, “My princess consort, do you have the qualifications to say when it’s your turn?”
Everyone looked over and saw that Mo Yunjing’s face was as dark as thunder, while Mo Junyi standing beside him had the same grim expression.
It was obvious that both of them had heard the maids’ remarks.
Mo Junyi walked over with a dark face. Without saying a word, he snatched a knife and gun from the soldier’s hand and fiercely stabbed it into Xiaoqin’s thigh.
Blood spurted out, and Xiaoqin let out a piercing scream. The other maids were so frightened that they didn’t even care about Xiaoqin, backing away in fear.
“Ziling,” An Xuetang said calmly, “her life is spared for now.”
Mo Junyi twitched his lips, “Mother, what’s the point of keeping someone like this alive?”
And in his heart, he knew his mother wasn’t the kind of person who would soften her stance.
As expected, the next second An Xuetang calmly said, “Ziling, don’t underestimate these people’s lives. Your fifth uncle’s subordinates haven’t had any fun in a long time. Now that there’s someone who came to their door automatically, why not let them have some fun?”
“…”
Mo Junyi, upon hearing this, was initially taken aback. But after a moment’s thought, he understood. His face immediately flushed red.
“Mother, I’m still just a child,” he said cautiously, glancing at An Xue Tang.
An Xuetang smiled. Mo Yunjing then turned his face to the soldier beside him, “Did you hear what the princess said?”
The soldiers all bowed, “Yes, my lord, understood.”
Even without saying a word, An Xuetang just had Xia Qin dragged into the camp by the soldiers.
“No, no.” It was then that Cheng Ruer finally came to her senses. From the moment she saw Mo Yunjing emerge from the crowd, she was completely captivated by his handsome face and air of heroism. She hadn’t even noticed what had been happening around her.
Not until Mo Yunjing spoke did she come back to her senses slightly. Seeing her maidservant being dragged away, she quickly cried out, “No, you can’t do this.”
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow and finally looked at the woman properly.
Cheng Ruer isn’t classically beautiful, but she is definitely pretty.
Especially now, she doesn’t know if it’s real or not, with teardrops rolling on her eyelashes. At this moment, she is like a delicate flower formed from tears, making people feel an endless pity when they see her.
However… An Xuetang hated women who used tears as weapons at the drop of a hat. A sneer played on her lips, she crossed her arms and stared at the woman, just wanting to see what other tricks this woman had up her sleeve.
Cheng Ru’er looked at Mo Yunjing with a pitiful expression and said, “My lord, please save my little qin. She didn’t do anything wrong. Please don’t punish her like this. If those…those soldiers lay their hands on her, how will she live the rest of her life?”
“!”
Mo Junyi sneered and couldn’t help but speak, “That damned woman still wants to live a life? Listen to me, that woman’s life ends today!”
Cheng Ru’er knew Mo Junyi. At this moment, she raised her hand and wiped away the tears she had squeezed out, “Your Highness, how can you say that? Little Qin did nothing wrong, she just…”
“Just what?” An Xuetang suddenly took over, a cryptic smile playing on her lips as she looked at Cheng Ru’er. “You seem so reluctant. Why don’t you… take her place? Or perhaps all four of you ladies could go together to comfort our hard-working soldiers?”
“Presumptuous!” A maidservant named Xiao Qi, hearing An Xue Tang’s words, angrily raised her trembling hand and pointed at An Xue Tang. “Do you know who my young mistress is? You dare to speak to my young mistress with such vulgar language! Do you believe I will slap your mouth!”
This little girl said these words very smoothly, as if she said them often.
Mo Yunjing’s disgust flashed in his eyes without any concealment. He looked at the soldier beside him and said coldly, “Kill!”
“Yes.”
The soldier immediately raised his blade and gun, ready to silence him with a single strike.
But An Xuetang suddenly let out a sigh and said slowly, “To just let her die like that would be too disrespectful. Why not let her continue to create even greater value before she dies, so that the brothers in the camp can live happily?”
Then she smirked at Mo Yunjing, “What do you think, Ah Jing?”
Mo Yunjing twitched the corner of his mouth, forcing out an “en” and addressing the soldier, “Listen to the Princess.”
“Yes.”
“No, no, no, Miss, please save me, Miss, please save me…”
The maidservant cried out, begging Cheng Ruer to speak up and save her. But Cheng Ruer bit her lip and remained silent.
The other two maids glanced at each other, then looked at their young mistress. They immediately understood that their young mistress was also powerless in this situation.
After all, this was a direct order from the Fifth Prince himself.
After the maidservants were brought in, Cheng Ruhui cried with a mournful face, giving Mo Yunjing a pitiful look. “My lord, those two maidservants have been with me since childhood. Can you please spare them for my sake?”
Before Mo Yun Jing could speak, Mo Jun Yi let out a cold snort and said, “Face? Lady, where did you get the face to say that?”
“…”
Cheng Ru’er was instantly speechless by Mo Junyi’s words, her face turning as pale as liver. “I…Your Highness, how can you speak to me like that? I’m at least the princess consort bestowed upon the prince by the Emperor. No matter what, I am still the fiancée of the Fifth Prince.”
“My fifth uncle’s fiancee?” Mo Junyi grinned with a carefree smile. “Auntie, would you like me to get you a mirror so you can have a good look? You think you could be my fifth aunt? What daydreams are you having?”
… Mo Junyi was serious. Just thinking about this woman wanting to replace An Xuetang in his family made him want to strangle her!
Cheng Ru’er was speechless with embarrassment, her face pale. The two maidservants beside her didn’t dare to speak either. After all, they had seen what happened to Xiao Qin and Xiao Qi, so they wouldn’t dare to take risks easily now.
