In the courtyard, Zhuo Jin did not make a sound as she knelt in grievance. She pouted her lips and lowered her head to silently wipe her tears.
When she saw Luo Shang's bloody legs, she realized that she had truly done something wrong, so she was willing to listen to him and obediently let him punish her by kneeling down.
"Oh, isn't this the princess' favorite, Miss Zhuo Jin? Why is she kneeling here? "Princess Hua-Yang can bear to have her little girl suffer the torment of the blazing sun just like that?"
The sarcastic and ear-piercing words entered Zhuo Jin's ears from top to bottom, rubbing against her eardrums to heat them up.
Lowering his head, he saw a pair of dark embroidered shoes. The skirt's hem was a typical flower-lined color. Just by the tricky tone alone, he was able to distinguish who this person was.
Zhuo Jin was already agitated in her heart, but she resisted the urge to raise her head.
The woman in front of him sneered coldly and said sarcastically, "Princess, is she alright?"
"There's a conspicuous crimson on the nail board. If you have time, you can go over and take a good look. Who knows, maybe you'll feel more touched by it." She laughed proudly.
Zhuo Jin's nostrils widened, gasping for air. It was really like a tiger not showing off its might and taking her as a sick cat!
She suddenly stood up, and without even clearly seeing the person's appearance in front of her, she swung her fist towards that ugly face.
"Stupid girl, you dare to attack?" Yun Xiu was a little shocked, her entire face was filled with astonishment and anger, this girl had gained more courage and dared to make a move on her.
Zhuo Jin fiercely gripped onto Yun Xiu's wrist with one hand and with her short body, she nimbly grabbed onto Yun Xiu's hair and forcefully pulled on her hair.
"She bared her fangs and brandished her claws, showing no mercy." Make a move? I still need to move my mouth! "
After saying that, she opened her mouth wide and bit Yun Xiu's arm. Her hard teeth nearly bit off her flesh.
Yun Xiu shouted to the group of servant s behind him in pain. What are you waiting for? "Hurry up and drag this crazy girl away." She was on the verge of tears.
A few servant s walked over and forcefully restrained Zhuo Jin. They hated Yun Xiu to the bones too, but they did not dare to reveal anything, and could only obey. After all, Yun Xiu was currently a big shot in front of Situ Jingyu. It was above everyone in the palace.
Yun Xiu glared at the little girl who was still struggling fiercely. Her hair was in a mess, and would fall out of her if she touched him. Her arm was bleeding from being bitten by that damned girl. It was as if she really had lost a whole piece of flesh.
Yun Xiu walked towards Zhuo Jin. Seeing her struggling so eagerly, she raised his hand and slapped her hard in her face.
"You're a madman!"
"Zhuo Jin's blood dripped from the corner of her mouth as her eyes widened. I don't need to be normal for a bad woman like you! "
"You —" Yun Xiu waved her hand again, but was stopped by the woman behind him.
With the support of the crowd, Situ Jingyu walked over slowly. Just by looking at the posture, it was obvious that she was being imposing, the pearl hairpin on her head swayed back and forth.
"I asked you to come here because you have something important to do. Why bother with a little girl?" She looked at Zhuo Jin with contempt, then raised her head proudly, looking down on him.
Yun Xiu laughed, stared at the little girl, and ordered the servant behind him: "From that moment onwards, Prince's Wife Jing is the mistress of the entire Phoenix Bedchamber, hurry up and throw out all the annoying things out."
The maidservant s looked at each other. If Situ Jingyu wanted to stay in the Phoenix Bedchamber, what about the wangfei? Was she trying to chase the princess away?
Seeing that the group of maidservant s did not move, Yun Xiu shouted loudly. What were they all standing there for? Waiting for death? "
The servant did not dare to move, they could only bite the bullet and follow her orders.
Yun Xiu did not forget to add. Among the things thrown out, there are naturally quite a few people who are eyesore. "
Looking at her arrogant and complacent expression and Situ Jingyu's fox-like face, the anger in Zhuo Jin's heart immediately flared up to thirty meters. Why did you do this? Why did you chase us away? This is the bedchamber that the King Jin had prepared for Princess Hua-Yang. Situ Jingyu, you bad woman, what qualifications do you have to stay here?! "
"You're courting death!" Just a moment ago, she was punched by this girl, and then she took another bite. Even now, she still held a grudge, so Yun Xiu gritted her teeth, wanting to get rid of him.
Situ Jingyu said unhurriedly: "Whether or not you have the qualifications will depend on this." The corner of her mouth curled up as she shook the jade pendant in her hand.
This was the Jadesilicon that held the most authority in the Acolyte Duke's Mansion. Since Leng Shaoyu had given his the most authority, she naturally had the right to do so as well.
The maidservant knocked on the door to the Inner Academy. Seeing the woman on the bed, they didn't know what to say, and saying such words at this time was merely sprinkling salt on Luo Shang's wound.
After thinking for a while, the maidservant began to explain everything to Luo Shang. Then, they moved the things in the room.
"Put it down." Luo Shang gazed at the objects in the maidservant with a dazed look in her eyes.
They stopped and turned to look at Luo Shang. Esteemed wangfei, but, this is an order from the Prince's Wife Jing. "
Back then, when Leng Shaoyu let her stay in the Phoenix Bedchamber, no matter what reason it was, even if it was just to search for traces of Bai Yue'e on her body, as long as he did not personally ask her to leave, she would not leave this place.
The maidservant s did not know what to do. Although they were hesitant about what to do, and did not know where to place them, they did not put them down for a long time.
At this time, Situ Jingyu walked in with the servant outside the opened door. She slowed her steps, gently waved the round fan in her hand, and spoke with ridicule: "Big sister really thinks about friendship, but, without the prince's favor, what right do you have to live in this kind of place?"
Everyone retreated to both sides, not daring to raise their heads.
Her delicate and pretty face was like a child's, winning by three points. The goose's round and smooth face was indescribably beautiful. It was a proud and charming face that people would never forget.
Luo Shang looked at her. As long as he didn't personally tell me, no one can let me leave this place. Including you. "
The fake warm smile on Situ Jingyu's face slowly faded, the ugly and sinister look slowly spread out in front of her eyes. "She let out a disdainful sneer." Oh? Who? Isn't it too early to say that. "
Ah Yu was forcefully dragged away by the maidservant. Under the gazes of everyone, Situ Jingyu walked towards Luo Shang, her long and thin, deep red nails grabbing onto half of Luo Shang's shoulder that had been pierced by the nail, as if she was dyed in blood.
That half of his body, along with his legs, was filled with countless tiny holes that pierced his heart like needles.
"If you don't want to move, are you still greedy for your position as the main wife? What a delusion. You know better than I do why His Highness allowed you to live here. The current you doesn't even have the slightest bit of value to be of use. Do you really want Your Highness to tell you in person? Luo Shang — "
Her nails dug into Luo Shang's flesh, and there was a smile in her eyes. If you don't want to leave, then so be it. "
Situ Jingyu moved closer to her ear and softly said. "I will fulfill your wish, take you back to the Luo Family, and those two girls."
He was only returning to the Luo Family alive, and he was just a corpse.
The King Hanchao Palace had the backing of the Prime Minister Yue Dongyang. After the King Jin had left, Luo Ke was no longer in the capital anymore, he was staying by himself, and his family name was already unknown. At this time, it was as easy as flipping his palm to defeat the Luo Family.
Compared to that, the important thing is the political smokescreen.
After all, the State Duke was the founder of the country. Above the imperial court, Prime Minister Yue Dongyang held great authority, the domineering wind was becoming more and more rampant, and those virtuous and prestigious old officials had long been unable to endure it. However, what Yue Dongyang wanted was for these old subjects to be impatient, and to give him the chance to do so.
If Situ Jingyu truly intended to target the Luo Family, the King Hanchao would definitely take part in it. The Right side would try to curry favor with him and also force the ordinary His Majesty to give an order. Once it involved the reputation of the State Duke Family, it would also bring about great benefits to the Royal Family. Those old subjects would definitely not be able to hold back and openly fight against Yue Dongyang.
The empress dowager was already old, and the His Majesty was weak and incompetent. At that time, not only would the Luo Family be annihilated, even the State Duke and other imperial families would also be subjected to the crime of having their reputation destroyed.
"I think you don't need to think about it to know what to do?" Situ Jingyu's smile did not waver.

Outside the purple gold pavilion, Luo Shang tilted her head and looked at the familiar courtyard house.
After a while, she seemed to have returned to her original starting point. The first time he walked in here was on the night she married into the Luo family. He was drunk to the point where he tore the bridal gown in front of her eyes. He said that he would use her entire life to repay the debt owed to her by the Luo family.
From then on, Luo Shang's fate was firmly fixed.
Perhaps it was because no one had passed through this abandoned house or cleaned it, that it seemed so dark and deep.
Even the front steps were overgrown with weeds.
Ah Yu and Zhuo Jin supported her in walking in, but the courtyard was still as empty as the empty land. The wutong tree was already dead, and the axe marks on the tree trunks brought Luo Shang's memories back to that night.
Because within this withered and dead wutong, Leng Shaoyu really wanted to kill her.
In the courtyard, the ground was littered with withered yellow leaves. Dust flew everywhere, and the stone table under the tree was piled with fallen leaves and dust.
Zhuo Jin wanted to place the things into the house first, but the moment she opened the door, the entire door pressed down on her. Luckily she was able to dodge quickly, otherwise she would have been smashed by the heavy door.
The interior of the house was dark and humid, it was filled with dust, causing Zhuo Jin to cough and pat her chest. All the windows were closed, the interior of the house looked like it was moldy, with white spider webs hanging everywhere.
"This... How are we supposed to live here? " Zhuo Jin grumpily threw the package on the table, and immediately kicked up a cloud of dust.
Ah Yu supported Luo Shang to sit down by the side. "Miss, sorry about that, let's sit here for a while. That girl and I will clean up a bit, it will be quick."
Luo Shang nodded.
Heaven seemed to be playing a joke on her, and if she had not gone into the alley at first, she would not have interacted with the man. If she had not saved him at the cliff, she would not have stayed in the Phoenix Bedchamber until she fell in love with him.
Now, as the leaves fall, everything has returned to its original point …
