Chapter 201 I Want to Kill Xie Zhaozhao
Xie Zhaozhao signaled to the female soldiers to let go, and the female soldiers who were holding down Gu Chengyan let go and returned to Xie Zhaozhao.
Gu Chengyan was angry but had to consider the etiquette of the younger generation towards the elders. He suppressed his temper and said, "Aunt, I am the son of the Marquis's mansion after all. How dare you bully me like this?"
"There is no order without rules. Is Prince Gu going to break the moral code for a lowly maidservant?"
Xie Zhaozhao said calmly, "This time it's thirty strokes of the stick and thirty slaps on the face, but next time it won't be thirty."
Gu Chengyan was beaten with thirty sticks. He was beaten with forty sticks before the New Year, and was beaten by several old women on the sixth day of the New Year. He now felt pain all over his body.
He wanted to pull Guan Yingying, but after crawling for a while, he didn't stand up.
Xie Zhaozhao beat the man today in a swift and decisive manner, without any delay. When Zhang Qing told Tu and Tu rushed over in a panic, Xie Zhaozhao had already finished the beating.
Tu said angrily, "Third sister-in-law, you should look at the owner before beating a dog, not to mention Yan'er is the prince. You have humiliated him like this, how will you behave in the palace and in the court in the future?"
Xie Zhaozhao looked at her with amusement: "Sister-in-law, you may not know that the prince has been expelled from the court by His Majesty, right?"
"What?" Tu said in disbelief, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Lu had been watching the fun nearby for a long time. When she heard what Xie Zhaozhao said, she shouted, "Sister-in-law, the third brother's wife said that the prince was driven out of the court!"
"The Censorate impeached the Crown Prince for openly hugging and kissing his concubine in the street, which was a violation of moral conduct. His Majesty had already issued an oral order years ago that he would never be employed again. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Ministry of Personnel and ask for yourselves."
Mrs. Lu wished that the whole family would get the news immediately: "Oh my, the prince was kicked out of the court? And he will never be employed again? That's it, I can only live on the land in the mansion!"
Tu looked at Xie Zhaozhao hatefully. Xie Zhaozhao was very careful in everything she did, and if she argued with him in front of everyone, she would only bring shame upon herself.
She said angrily, "No matter what, the prince has a father and a mother, so he doesn't need you, the third aunt, to discipline him! You beat him with thirty sticks for a disagreement. Do you want to kill him? Let's go to mother to seek justice!"
She said and turned away.
Xie Zhaozhao was naturally not afraid of her, and said to the female soldiers: "You go back to the courtyard first, and accompany me to Ci'enyuan."
Ping'an and two servants quickly lifted Gu Chengyan up, while Yan Ke and Nian Ke also helped Guan Yingying away.
Gu Chengyan ordered Yan Kenian to help Guan Yingying to Qinyaxuan, but not to go to Ci'enyuan, as she would definitely be beaten if she went there.
Ping'an and the servants carried Gu Chengyan to Ci'enyuan, where Tu and Xie Zhaozhao were arguing fiercely.
"The prince is the face of the Marquis's Mansion. If my third brother's wife loses face for him, it will be a slap in the face of the entire Marquis's Mansion." Tu said angrily.
"There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. We went to East City to catch an adulterer. Many servants and domestic servants in the mansion know about it, and it has spread like wildfire outside. If mother and sister-in-law don't believe it, you can go out of the mansion and listen."
Xie Zhaozhao said righteously, "The prince has seriously affected the reputation of the Marquisate. Since mother and sister-in-law don't care, I will discipline the Marquisate so as not to drag down the entire Marquisate."
"Mother, listen to me. The Marquis is still alive, and the Third House wants to bypass the Marquis."
Seeing that she always used this sentence to pressure her, Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly and said, "If it is inconvenient for elder brother and sister-in-law to follow the rules, I am happy to do it for you."
The old lady looked very unhappy and shouted, "Shut up! Tu, you need to have a good talk with the prince. He must correct his attitude regarding Aunt Yue's matter. Third Madam, you should inform your elder brother and elder sister-in-law about the prince's matter instead of hitting people at will. If you don't follow the rules, won't the Marquis' Mansion be in chaos?"
Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "My mother taught me that I should report to her before making any decision."
As she was speaking, Gu Chengyan was carried over, and the old lady asked Gu Chengyan to tell her why he was beaten today.
Gu Chengyan was very angry after being beaten by Xie Zhaozhao, but when he saw Xie Zhaozhao being questioned by the old lady and Mrs. Tu, he said, "It's all my grandson's fault. I was disrespectful to my third aunt."
Tu was annoyed. How could he not dare to tell the truth after being beaten?
The old lady took the opportunity to scold Xie Zhaozhao and asked him to go back first.
Asked Gu Chengyan: "Just now your third aunt said that you were dismissed from office, is it true or false?"
Gu Chengyan had already thought of an excuse: "Grandmother, this is true, but it's not because of any improper behavior, but because my grandson took over the Grand Canal project, which was arranged by the prince. Your Majesty and Wei..."
The old lady and Mrs. Tu automatically imagined that Gu Chengyan was the prince's man, and His Majesty hated the prince and Cheng En's family, so he took his anger out on Gu Chengyan!
"What can I do? You lost your job and will stay at home from now on?"
"No, the prince has plans for his grandson." Gu Chengyan looked up at his grandmother and mother, and said tentatively, "Don't tell Uncle San about the matter between my grandson and the prince."
The old lady and Mrs. Tu automatically filled in the blanks: Gu Shaoyu is His Majesty's man, Yan'er is the prince's man, His Majesty hates the prince...
After some deception, Gu Chengyan returned to Qin Yaxuan safely.
When Guan Yingying saw him come back, she touched the place where her two empty teeth were and burst into tears, with blood from her mouth flowing all over her clothes.
Gu Chengyan lay on the couch and coaxed her, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll go tell my father to separate the third room."
"I want her to die, I want her to die!" Guan Yingying wanted to eat Xie Zhaozhao alive, "What a corrupt, backward, feudal, vicious woman!"
"Yingying, don't be angry. You have to learn some rules in the future. You are so smart, why did you bump into him?"
Seeing Guan Yingying's hysteria, he suddenly felt very tired and said, "Third Aunt is arrogant, but in the six months since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, she has never hit the servants, not even scolded them loudly..."
"You're still speaking for her? Do you regret not marrying her?"
"What are you talking about? Keep your voice down!"
Ever since I came back from taking care of Guan Yingying, there has been chaos every day.
Xie Xiangxiang, Mrs. Tu, the old lady, Xie Zhaozhao...all denounced Guan Yingying for being unruly!
Gu Chengyan covered for her and protected her in various ways, cleaning up her mess all day long, and was exhausted.
Today I was implicated and got beaten.
He lay down and said to her, "Take a rest first. I need to quickly arrange for someone to deliver the elixir to the prince."
When Guan Yingying heard this, she said, "I'll send it to the prince!"
Do you want to escape? Gu Chengyan immediately said, "Don't make trouble anymore. Wouldn't it be better to stay quiet for a few days? If you want to go out, you need to report to your mother."
"What are you reporting? Do I need a permit to leave the house?"
"Yingying, the Marquis' Mansion has its own rules. We are the younger generation, so we must tell our elders when we go out."
"I'm going crazy, crazy!"
Guan Yingying tore her hair into a mess, touched the bald spots on her head, touched the holes where her teeth were missing, and shouted, "I want to destroy the entire Marquis' Mansion..."
Gu Chengyan: ...
"My Lord, go and receive the order!"
Ping An shouted through the door curtain, "The court is here to announce the decree. Everyone in the mansion should go to the front yard to receive it!"
