Chapter 119 Are You Really that Bold?

After Shen Ning recovered, she started her daily morning exercises again, and at the same time, she kept an eye on the wind direction changes outside.

Rumors spread in the capital that Princess Pingyao wanted to rebel, and the rumors became more and more intense. She even broke into the palace and confronted the officials, which was shocking and audacious to the extreme.

This incident directly suppressed the regent's control of the government, making people wonder whether she deliberately chose to go against the ministers at this juncture to make Qin Guojiu's conspiracy fail.

Qin Guojiu and the Qin family impeached the regent for holding power. No ministers in the court discussed it. Most of them believed that compared to Princess Pingyao, if they really wanted to change an emperor, they would rather support the regent to become emperor.

Of course, this idea was just their idea in their hearts, and no one dared to say it out loud for the time being.

Instead, Qin Guojiu failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. He was impeached for corruption and forming a clique for personal gain. For a while, the Qin family was a little scared.

Qin Guojiu's plan was disrupted, and Princess Pingyao was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. On the evening of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yumo, who was off duty, was on his way back to the princess's mansion by carriage. He was forcibly stopped by a dozen guards and then taken back to the Qin family.

As the head of the Qin family, Qin Guojiu hated Qin Yumo, a rebellious son who used his beauty to serve others and abandoned his parents, and directly ordered people to take him to the ancestral hall to deal with him according to family law.

The four guards around Qin Yumo were stopped outside the gate of the Qin family. Qin Yumo was a weak scholar. Faced with his father's toughness and the collective deployment of the Qin family guards, he naturally had no power to resist and was forcibly taken into the ancestral hall by the guards.

In front of the ancestral hall were the tablets of the ancestors of the Qin family.

After Qin Yumo was kicked to his knees, two guards brought a desk with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Qin Yumo looked at the scene, and an ominous premonition emerged in his heart. Not long after, a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind him.

"Madam." The voice of the guard maid's salute confirmed his judgment.

The mistress of the Qin family is here.

Qin Yumo's expression changed slightly, and his hands hanging by his side clenched unconsciously.

From childhood to adulthood, he had an uncontrollable fear of Madam Qin, which was deeply rooted and could not be erased in a few days.

"Qin Yumo." Madam Qin walked to his side, sat down on the chair brought by the servants, and looked down at him. "The pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been prepared for you. According to your father's wishes, you now write a memorial to impeach Princess Pingyao for her intention to rebel, and draw the military deployment of Princess Pingyao's mansion."

Qin Yumo looked at the four treasures of the study on the desk in silence, lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "The princess has no intention of rebellion. I don't know how the military deployment of the princess's mansion is."

Madam Qin looked at him coldly.

Since she lost her son Qin Yanshu, she hated Qin Yumo even more. If she didn't need him to do something today, she would have wanted to tear him into pieces.

"Don't know?" Mrs. Qin's eyes were cold, "Do you think I would believe it?"

Qin Yumo said indifferently: "After I went to the Princess's Mansion, I never walked around the mansion, nor did I learn about the deployment of troops."

"In this case, you should write down the words to impeach the Princess first." Mrs. Qin ordered.

Qin Yumo insisted: "The Princess has no intention of rebellion."

Mrs. Qin's eyes turned cold, and she ordered fiercely: "Beat the people, and use the family law!"

Two sturdy maids came with rattan whips.

"If he doesn't write today, beat him to death here! I'll let him be buried with Yanshu!"

The two maids received the order, took the rattan whip, and mercilessly whipped Qin Yumo's thin back. Qin Yumo was held by the shoulders, unable to avoid or dodge, and could only endure it.

Although he had been subjected to such family discipline countless times since he was a child, he had lived a life of luxury after going to the Princess's Mansion. It was a bit unbearable for him to experience such pain again.

Qin Yumo was pressed to the ground. After a while, blood oozed from his back. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Madam Qin asked coldly: "Will you write it?"

Qin Yumo gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Seeing this, Madam Qin snatched the rattan whip from the nanny's hand and whipped him hard on the back: "Bastard! Since you dare to serve others with your beauty, don't blame the family law for being ruthless! It's a disgrace to our ancestors! Even if I beat you to death here today, Princess Pingyao will not stand up for you, a little bastard!"

Qin Yumo's eyes went black in pain. He bit his arm unconsciously, and a sense of despair arose in his heart.

Will he really die here today?

"Madam! Madam!" A maid rushed in from outside, "Oh no! The eldest princess... the eldest princess brought people in and ordered the uncle to hand over the prince consort immediately, otherwise... otherwise..."

Madam Qin's expression was sinister, and she slapped Qin Yumo fiercely, as if she wanted to break his back alive, and her voice was extremely cold: "Otherwise what? Could it be that she wants to destroy the uncle's mansion?"

"No, no, the eldest princess ordered people to arrest the eldest lady." The maid said uneasily with a pale face, "The eldest princess said that if the lady doesn't release the prince consort quickly, she...she will strip the eldest lady naked and throw...throw her into the brothel..."

Madam Qin was about to hit again, but her raised hand suddenly froze, and then the cane fell to the ground, and the air condensed a little bit.

Her face was ashen, and she looked at the maid who was talking in disbelief: "What did you say?"

The maid whispered: "The eldest princess ordered people to go to the eldest lady's yard and bring the eldest lady...bring the eldest lady out."

Mrs. Qin was furious. Although she was worried about her daughter, she could not disgrace the mistress of the house. She said coldly: "I don't believe in this evil! Keep beating him until he is dead!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Suddenly there was a strange sound outside, like the sound of someone being kicked out repeatedly, and then a cold female voice sounded: "Since Mrs. Qin doesn't believe in evil, why don't I, the princess, stay with me until the end."

After the words fell, a person was roughly pushed in. After his body staggered, he lay on the ground in a panic: "Ah!"

Mrs. Qin was shocked. She lowered her eyes and saw that the person lying on the ground was her daughter Qin Zhilan. She suddenly became anxious and angry: "Lan'er——"

"Ah!" Qin Zhilan screamed.

It turned out that the eldest princess of Pingyao stepped on her back with one foot and severely trampled her to the ground.

"Princess Pingyao, what are you doing?" Mrs. Qin was furious, "Let Zhilan go!"

The eldest princess of Pingyao glanced at the scarred Qin Yumo, then raised her eyes coldly to look at Mrs. Qin: "Mrs. Qin dares to attack my princess's consort without my consent. You are really brave!"

Mrs. Qin's face turned green and white. She couldn't imagine what was happening outside, let alone why Princess Pingyao arrived at the Qin family ancestral hall so quickly.

Didn't Uncle Guo arrange for someone to stop him outside?

"Come here." The eldest princess Pingyao released her feet and ordered slowly, "Mrs. Qin will attack the consort and beat the consort violently. Take her and Qin Zhilan to the eldest princess's residence. I want to interrogate her."

"yes!"

Several tall women rushed in from outside the ancestral hall. They all seemed to be from the training family. One of them was holding Mrs. Qin, and the other was holding Qin Zhilan, waiting for the instructions from the eldest princess of Pingyao.

The eldest princess of Pingyao turned around and walked out: "This princess has brought two hundred people tonight. Anyone who dares to attack anyone in the uncle's house will be shot to death!"

Mrs. Qin was so frightened that her face turned pale with fright.
