Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 138 Using chicken feathers as arrows

The two people holding the boards didn't dare to move after hearing the order and could only look at Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin naturally wouldn't let them take action. If they really beat someone to death, that bitch Xia Zheng would have a reason to go to the government.

Even if she lied now, no one else would listen to Xia Zheng.

"Frost and Snow, you go."

Xia Zheng gave an order and Shuangxue walked forward without saying a word.

Zhou Lin did not stop her, as she was just a maid and was afraid that she could not even lift the board.

She just watched the show, and the person holding the board gave it directly to Shuangxue.

She took the board with both hands and held it very steadily, without even shaking.

Zhou Lin felt uneasy for a moment, but she thought it was just a bluff. Even if she could hold it, she might not be able to swing it. After two hits with the board, Zhao Liu was just scratching her itch, and she herself would be exhausted.

In full view of everyone, Frost and Snow raised the board and swung it down.

Snapped!

There was a loud bang, twice as loud as the one between the two men before.

Zhao Liu, who was originally like a dead dog, was beaten so hard that his whole body bent backwards. He screamed in pain and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which exploded in the air and scared everyone to scream.

Zhou Lin was so frightened that his face turned pale.

How come this girl is better than men!

Seeing Zhao Liu falling down with his breath on the line, Shuangxue raised the board again. If he hit Zhao Liu again, he would definitely die. Zhou Lin shouted anxiously, "Stop! Stop!"

Frost and Snow seemed not to hear and just swung the board and fell down.

"Xia Zheng! Tell her to stop! I won't beat him to death!"

"Frost and snow."

When Xia Zheng spoke, Shuangxue immediately stopped and the board stopped at a finger's distance from Zhao Liu's buttocks. If it was a moment later, the board would have fallen.

Everyone was terrified, and Zhou Lin felt even more frightened when he looked at Xia Zheng.

This bitch really wants to beat someone to death.

"Didn't Zhou Shenhua say that he molested you and should be beaten to death?" Xia Zheng asked calmly.

"I won't beat him to death. Can't I just let him go?"

"No!" This time, Xia Zheng refused without hesitation.

Zhou Lin was stunned. "Why not? I don't blame him!"

"You don't blame me, but you just said it. You are the prince's Shenhua. Once you enter the palace, you will share the prince's honor and disgrace. If he molests you, it is a provocation to the prince. You can't just not blame him and not punish him."

Zhou Lin didn't expect that what she said before would be like a sharp arrow that would turn around in Xia Zheng's hand and hit her again, which made her unable to refute herself.

But the matter of Xiang Zhugui had already been settled by Xia Zheng, and the blame for Zhao Liu being beaten to death would fall on her head, not to mention that Xia Zheng insisted on reporting to the police.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Lin finally softened his tone: "So what do you want?"

"Of course we're following the rules. Since you're punishing them because of your misremembering, even though you're the master, the people in the Internal Affairs Office aren't your servants. They belong to the Duke's Mansion. So you should apologize. As for the indecent behavior..."

"I apologize to them? Are you crazy?" Before Xia Zheng could finish her words, Zhou Lin couldn't help but curse when he heard that Xia Zheng actually wanted him to apologize to the servants in the internal affairs office.

People are born into different classes. They are lowly people by nature. Even if they are from the Duke's Mansion, they are still lowly. She can't torture them, even if she beats them to death, it would at most be an explanation to their master.

To apologize to a servant would mean throwing her face on the ground and having it stepped on.

Nanny Chen, who had walked back to Xia Zheng, also whispered a reminder: "Su Rong, there's no need to be like this. Zhou Shenhua is the master. Now that the matter has been investigated, it's all over."

"How can that be possible? The Zhenguogong Mansion has never treated servants harshly. They are all born and raised by their parents. They should not be careless in their duties and should be punished for their mistakes. Even the master cannot act arbitrarily and take human lives lightly. Moreover, this is the rule of the mansion. Since I am in charge, I should act according to the rules."

"You!" Hearing Xia Zheng constantly talking about rules, rules, it was clear that she was going to crush him to death today. Zhou Lin flung his hand and said, "You think I'm afraid of you, you're using chicken feathers as a token of authority? I'm going to go find the Crown Prince's Consort right now!"

Seeing Zhou Lin rushing out, Nanny Chen became anxious.

Even though it was Zhou Lin's fault that the matter was brought to the Crown Prince's Consort's attention, it was still not good that Xia Zheng brought the matter to the Crown Prince's Consort's attention right after she took over the charge. Moreover, Nanny Niu had said that the Crown Prince's Consort was not allowed to be disturbed.

Besides, even if the Crown Prince's wife asked Xia Zheng to take charge of the entire mansion, it was just a temporary position after all. She had no foundation and her power was empty. She could not make decisions and no one would obey her.

Zhou Lin's visit just proved this point.

Just as he was about to speak to persuade him, he saw a tall green figure walking in.

Zhou Lin just rushed to the door when he was stopped by this tall figure. He was so angry that he looked up and was about to curse, but he was stopped when he saw who was coming.

The person in front of him was wearing a sky-blue cross-collared robe with white cloud patterns. He had fair skin to begin with, and the light-colored robe suited him very well, making his face look like a jade crown and as graceful as a swimming dragon.

The tall figure gives people a sense of oppression and security, with elegance and wildness interwoven just right, just like the button tied to the neck, with a little bit exposed under the collar, like a banished immortal with lowered eyes, knowing that the nobleness is unattainable but unable to suppress the fantasy in his heart.

Those almond-shaped eyes were even more so. Although they were sharp, the starlight in the depths made people feel that they were looking at them affectionately, causing Zhou Lin, who was closest to them, to blush unconsciously.

"Sir."

"Greetings, Prince."

Xia Zheng bowed and walked out with everyone else, and only then did Zhou Lin realize that the person in front of him was Gu Yizi.

Although she had seen Gu Yizi's portrait before entering the mansion, and others had called him the first prince of the Great Zhou, she did not expect that the portrait could not compare to the real person.

"Why are you calling me back in such a hurry?" Gu Yizi walked past Zhou Lin and went straight to Xia Zheng. There was no impatience or blame in his tone, but rather a bit of doting.

"The Crown Prince's wife is seriously ill today, so she temporarily handed over all the affairs in the mansion to me. It happened that Zhou Shenhua and Zhao Liu had an argument, and the Crown Prince's wife took medicine and went to sleep. The palace doctor said not to disturb her. I was afraid I couldn't handle it well, so I had to send someone to ask you to come back." Xia Zheng looked at Gu Yizi as if she was looking at the residence of a god.

Gu Yizi glanced at Zhao Liu, who was lying on the stool covered in blood. "Has it not been dealt with yet?"

Xia Zheng shook her head helplessly. "We've investigated the matter of Zhou Shenhua losing the Xiangzhu cabinet. It wasn't on the list of the Zhou family's departures. Zhou Shenhua said she misremembered it. I asked her to apologize to the Internal Affairs Office according to the rules, but Zhou Shenhua refused and was about to report it to the Crown Prince's Consort. I couldn't stop her."

While speaking, Xia Zheng had already handed the Zhou family's list to Gu Yizi.

Gu Yizhi took the list, glanced at it, then looked at Zhou Lin and asked, "This cabinet has been in turmoil for a few days, right? Did you really remember it wrong?"
