Chapter 257: Only One I Like
At the Tan family, Changyan and Wanku were locked in a side room.
She was clearly on guard, but the dandy didn't know what was wrong with him, and stretched out his hand slyly: "Young lady, do you want to play the game of you run away and I chase you?"
"Then I'm coming~"
He pounced on him, Changyan picked up the vase on the table and opened it for him.
With the sound of porcelain shards shattering, blood flowed from his forehead and covered his face.
His teasing expression turned into incredulous anger, and he pointed at Changyan's nose: "Bitch!"
"You! If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
"Someone, take her off her clothes and tie her up, and bring me my whip!"
Changyan: ...You didn’t faint?
It's really hard to kill.
The current situation was not favorable for her. Changyan was thinking of countermeasures when the door was pushed open.
She was anxious, but saw the servant who knocked on the door step back, revealing Madam Tan behind him.
The moment Mrs. Tan saw her, her eyes and mouth opened wide.
Changyan did not feel saved, but felt in trouble. After all, the Tan family had betrayed the princess.
But at this moment, the door was opened a little more, and the princess's face appeared in her eyes.
An uneasy heart was settled just like that.
She knew she was safe.
The princess jumped over the debris on the ground, ran to her side, and asked with concern: "Are you hurt?"
Changyan shook his head slightly.
Bei Jingchu immediately turned his attention to the culprit.
Madam Tan had already rushed forward, slapped her brother hard, and shouted, "Beast!"
"Do you know who you are offending?"
"Miss Changyan is the lady-in-waiting of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The dude who had been so arrogant just now was so frightened that he peed his pants, and a bad smell filled the whole room.
Bei Jingchu frowned.
Madam Tan was already blushing with shame, and asked at a loss: "Your Highness, this..."
Bei Jingchu was about to vomit, "Clean him up and bring him in for questioning."
The playboy fainted from fright from his own imagination, and the servants went to report to Madam Tan.
Soon, a doctor came to give him acupuncture and woke him up.
He was brought to the main hall, where he saw the head of the Tan family, who was as arbitrary and autocratic as the sky and had the final say, kneeling in the hall.
The dandy's legs went weak and he couldn't stand, unlike Madam Tan who at least had a cushion.
He fell to his knees, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud.
Bei Jingchu was in no hurry to speak, and the main hall was filled with depressing silence.
Changyan was sitting on the side seat and wanted to say something, but was stopped by her.
Madam Tan urged the fool: "Why don't you confess your crime to His Highness!"
The dandy finally woke up, or rather, he didn't wake up, but he had to wake up.
He kowtowed loudly: "Your Highness, please forgive me!"
The sound on my forehead was like a concussion.
"Your Majesty, I am blind and have offended your lady-in-waiting."
"The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. I will never do that again!"
After a long while, a soft voice came from above: "Heh."
Madam Tan felt a chill in her heart, as she could tell that His Highness was very dissatisfied with this answer.
Bei Jingchu asked her: "Do you think the main point is to offend my female officials?"
"But he raped the woman!"
"I was crowned as the crown prince as a princess. I know the difficulties and obstacles involved. As a woman doing business, you should be able to understand my feelings."
"I don't even dare to make the slightest mistake, but you, the Tan family, are just using my name to bully the people."
"If Changyan has no backer, should she be bullied?"
"The laws of Dai Viet are the backbone of every citizen!"
Madam Tan finally realized where she had gone wrong. She begged, "I know I was wrong. It was my fault that I failed to discipline you properly and delayed your highness's important matter."
"From today on, I will keep the Tan family in check."
"Your Highness, please forgive him this time, considering that this is Silang's first offense. I will punish him severely and discipline him strictly!"
Bei Jingchu closed her eyes due to a headache, feeling powerless as if she was talking to a deaf person.
"Every murderer is a first-time offender when he kills for the first time."
"What is your punishment? A beating, and then resting for ten days or half a month before it's all right?"
"Dai Viet has a law that if you offend a female official or conspire to kill an official appointed by the imperial court, you will be executed."
"I will not impose a harsh sentence just because the victim is someone close to me."
"Take this thief to Jingzhao Prefecture."
The dandy was dragged away by the guards. Madam Tan begged in panic, "Your Highness, my brother will never dare to do that again. I will also discipline the children of the clan and will never be arrogant again."
Seeing that she still didn't understand the situation, Bei Jingchu wanted to hold back her impatience and explain to her the purpose of making an example of her and setting a rule because she had followed him for many years.
But I saw a flash of hatred in her eyes.
?
Bei Jingchu finally reacted and sneered at herself.
Good intentions don’t always bring rewards, so hidden dangers must not be left around.
When she spoke again, the last trace of gentleness in her tone had completely disappeared: "What are you dissatisfied with?"
"Are you worried about your brother?"
"Mrs. Tan, please feel sorry for the Tan family foundation you have built."
"As of today, they no longer exist."
Her resentment froze.
"You are still begging for your brother even now."
"Your Tan family has never been unique. You are just the only one that is pleasing to the eye."
"Since we are both women and have the same ambitions, I feel for you."
"Since you don't want this preference, I'll just change someone else."
"I don't need anyone holding me back."
After saying this, Bei Jingchu took his people away.
Madam Tan wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the guards and couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Only then did she realize that from the moment she became dissatisfied and resentful towards His Highness, she was thrown off the ship.
"Your Highness - I know I was wrong -"
But no matter how much he shouted, there was no response.
The servants of the Tan family, especially the servants who helped the dude tie up Changyan, all huddled together and trembled.
From the head of the family's prayers, they all realized that the Tan family seemed to be about to fall.
Madam Tan sat in the main hall for a long time, as if she remembered something. Her eyes lit up and she said to herself, "It's not over yet. The Tan family is not over yet."
"Go and ask for help from Sister Yiguo, her father is the Minister of Chancellery."
"Even if the prince dislikes him, the Shangshu Ling is not bad."
"I just don't believe it. The prince's power is so overwhelming that he doesn't give us any chance to survive."
"Someone can control her!"
When Mrs. Tan came with gifts and explained the reason.
The beloved Yu Yiguo went to ask his father: "Father, the Tan family raised me and did me a great favor. Today they are in trouble, please help them."
The Shangshu Ling remained silent.
Yu Yiguo begged coquettishly: "Aye, if the Tan family hadn't saved me, I would have died."
