The ground in the courtyard is already dry, and there are only a few raindrops on the treetops. Winter is approaching, but it does not add warmth, and the cold wind is biting.

"What's the matter?" Gu Yanfei stopped on a certain stone step under the eaves, casually brushed her wind-blown hair, and looked condescendingly at Su Niang a few steps away.

In Su Niang's eyes, she felt that Gu Yanfei was really incompetent, and there was a trace of contempt in her heart: Her daughter was about to become a princess, and since then, she had been on a meteoric rise, so what did Gu Yanfei mean to her?!

Besides being a little naughty in front of Mrs. Tai, what else could Gu Yanfei do?!

Su Niang raised her finger and pointed at Gu Yanfei's face, and scolded unhappily: "Who do you want to show your thorns all over your body?"

"Third Miss, there is nothing wrong with you. She accepts you sincerely. Don't be ungrateful!"

"You have to know your identity!"

Su Niang's aggressive voice became louder and louder, and she raised her chin confidently.

She had to teach this girl a lesson so that she would never dare to be presumptuous in front of her and her daughter again.

The movement here attracted some maids and women, who were looking at it carefully in twos and threes.

Looking at the chattering Su Niang, the waves in the depths of Gu Yanfei's eyes started to rise again, just like the monstrous waves that covered the sky and the sun, destroying the world... After a while, it returned to calm.

"Drag it down, twenty sticks."

A soft voice escaped from her lips.

The women and maids around were all stunned, looking at each other in silence.

The third girl is the future princess. How dare they hit the third girl's wet nurse? Isn't this offending the third girl for nothing?!

A clever little maid hurriedly ran in the direction of Tojima.

"..." Su Niang was startled at first, but when she saw that everyone was standing still and not moving, she couldn't help but smile proudly.

Also, in this Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, who would listen to Gu Yanfei?! There was no need for her to be afraid.

However, others did not dare to move, but Juan Bi did.

Juan Bi approached Su Niang majestically and said at the top of his voice: "How dare a mere wet nurse be rude to the second girl, shouting and yelling? It is a rule of the Marquis's family. Anyone who violates the rules below will be punished with twenty sticks."

Juan Biyan quickly grabbed a broom from a little maid who was sweeping the house, and hit Su Niang directly on her butt.

"Pah! Pah!"

Juan Bi was not hesitant at all, and spanked Su Niang twice, each time hitting her hard.

Su Niang screamed and tried to hide, but she couldn't outrun the agile Juan Bi, and was hit on the calf with a broom stick, causing her to scream again.

"stop!"

From the direction of the main room, Mrs. Gu's calm and intimidating scolding came.

Gu Yunzhen supported Mrs. Gu and walked quickly from the direction of Dongcijian. Gu Yunzhen was a step behind, followed by four or five maids and nannies.

"Third Miss..." Su Niang looked at Gu Yunchun aggrievedly as if she had been granted amnesty. A few strands of hair were scattered around her bun, the hairpin was crooked, and there was a layer of tears in her eyes.

Gu Yunkuang looked back and forth at Gu Yanfei and Su Niang, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, his heart as clear as a mirror:

Su Niang was so devoted to her that she would come to Gu Yanfei most likely to ask for the prescription for her. Gu Yanfei didn't give him the prescription, but he actually let the maid beat him...

It's really too much.

Mrs. Gu stood in the middle of the hall, her temples twitching, and she shouted sternly: "Yan Fei, what are you doing?!"

Su Niang lowered her head, holding the handkerchief and wiping her tears aside, looking pitiful, but her eyes were rolling.

"Why is she still here?!" Gu Yanfei asked rhetorically without answering. The seven words were an understatement, but they had a long meaning.

This "she" of course refers to Su Niang.

The servants didn't know the inside story, so they naturally didn't understand what Gu Yanfei meant by his words, but Mrs. Gu and Gu Yunkuang both understood that Gu Yanfei's words contained threats.

"..." Mrs. Gu was speechless for a moment.

Mrs. Gu's eyes flashed, she suppressed her anger a little, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "I thought you were sensible, but it turns out you have been holding your breath."

"Then what do you think should be done with Su Niang?!"

The sound of scolding that was almost the same as in the previous life penetrated into his ears. Gu Yanfei smiled instead of angry, and his posture was straight.

In her previous life, when she faced Mrs. Gu's scolding and questioning, she was full of grievances and indignation and didn't know how to express it. At that time, she was like an ignorant child, hoping that her grandmother would make the decision for her.

But now she already has the answer.

"There is a saying in "Jing Lu": Those who rob and sell people will be punished with a hundred sticks, tattooed, and exiled for three thousand miles." A faint smile appeared on Gu Yanfei's face and asked, "Mrs. Taizu thinks that the law established by Emperor Taizu is

Is there anything wrong?"

"..." Mrs. Gu held the string of Buddhist beads in her hand tightly with a sinister look in her eyes.

Naturally, she heard that Gu Yanfei was using the law to threaten her own grandmother, which clearly meant that if she did not follow the family rules, Gu Yanfei would follow the law.

The broken flowers and trees in the courtyard were swaying in the cold wind, adding a bit of depression and desolation.

Su Niang had forgotten to wipe her tears and raised her head blankly.

She originally thought that Mrs. Gu would definitely help her for her daughter's sake, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Gu would hesitate because of Gu Yanfei's few words.

This time, she panicked and was so nervous that she didn't dare to move.

Mrs. Gu's face was majestic, her lips pursed into a cold and decisive straight line.

Gu Yanfei even brought out the law. It can be seen that Su Niang has become a worry for her. It is better to let her vent her anger and handle this matter as a family matter and gently expose it.

Moreover, no matter how bad Gu Yanfei is, he is still of Gu family blood. How unbecoming is it for Su Niang, a servant, to scream in front of her!

After a while, she calmed down and said proudly: "Su Niang is disrespectful to the second girl, drag her down and punish her with a cane!"

Su Niang felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her heart plummeted, her feet were weak and she knelt down, her face was pale and pale.

Mrs. Gu gave an order, and several burly women in the courtyard took action without hesitation. They restrained Su Niang from the left and the right, covered her mouth, and dragged her forcefully out of the courtyard.

Su Niang was helpless, her whole body felt cold and her limbs were weak. She could only turn her pleading eyes to Gu Yunchuang, and the moisture in her eyes became even thicker.

This time, she really wanted to cry.

Gu Yunchuang looked at Su Niang with a kind of hesitant tenderness in his eyes. As he looked, the pink lotus root-like neck outlined the soft lines.

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and said to Mrs. Gu in a gentle voice: "Grandma, these twenty sticks are enough to tear a person's skin and flesh to pieces. Su Niang is just a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, maybe..."

Maybe my life can't be saved.

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Yunkuang deeply understood that in this great Jing Dynasty, the master could easily decide a person's life or death.

Selling, killing, etc. are all a matter of a word from the master.

In the hearts of these people, the slave’s life is not life!
