If she had known this, she should have done more to save her cousin.
While the two sisters were talking, a stone the size of a thumb suddenly hit Yao Anxin.
The two of them were startled, and when they looked up, they saw a young man dressed in an elegant manner, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.
Hou Fanling had developed her eyesight in Beijing, and she recognized at a glance that the belt on the young master's body was something only a prince could wear, and quickly pulled Yao Anxin to salute.
"Get up." The young master raised his chin slightly and stared at Yao Anxin, "Are you Yao Anxin?"
Yao Anxin responded calmly: "Yes, I wonder what I call my master?"
"I am nineteen, you can just call me Nineteenth Master."
Hou Fanling was surprised that he was actually the nineteenth prince.
This is terrible. The 19th prince is known to have a good relationship with the second prince, Prince Jin.
The entire capital knows that the relationship between Jin Jun's palace and the Yao family is not harmonious. Isn't the Nineteenth Prince just looking for trouble?
Sure enough, when the Nineteenth Prince opened his mouth, it was for Yao Anxin.
"So you are Yao Anxin, and you are not that good. I thought that the Yao family were all three-headed and six-armed, with bull heads and horse faces. They thought they were very powerful. I don't understand. What did my second emperor brother do to you Yao family? You deserve it.
Being treated like this by your Yao family? My second emperor brother is the only one with a good temper. If he had been replaced by someone with a more explosive temper, he would have overthrown your Yao family long ago."
Hou Fanling's heart tightened and she quickly looked at Yao Anxin, fearing that Yao Anxin would jump out of anger and confront the Nineteenth Prince.
That's the prince. No matter how bad-tempered the Yao family is, it's enough to offend one Jinjun prince. If they offend all of them, it won't end well later.
"Nineteenth Master, are you kidding? In the whole world, is it not the imperial land? The Yao family is just one of the many living beings at the feet of the emperor. They can only look up, how can they dare to show their authority in front of the royal family? From the ancestors who followed the late emperor to the south
Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the Yao family has always been loyal and loyal, without any disrespect. As for the matter between the fourth aunt in the family and the Jinjun Palace... My daughter is only a junior, and she really has no qualifications to speak nonsense about her elders. Please forgive me, Master Nineteenth." Yao Anxin.
The answer was neither humble nor silent. He did not blindly say bad things about the Yao family, nor did he blindly flatter the royal family.
It just shows that the Yao family has absolutely no intention of despising the royal family.
"Sophistry!" The Nineteenth Prince snorted coldly, "Sure enough, none of the Yao family is good. They talk nonsense and confuse right and wrong. It is obvious that you ignore the power of the royal family and do not take my second emperor brother in your eyes at all.
My second emperor brother’s face is on the ground, but he still has the nerve to say that he is loyal to the royal family and has no disrespect at all. I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I just want to teach your Yao family a lesson for my second emperor brother..."
With that said, he took out a soft whip from his waist and was about to swing it towards Yao Anxin.
Hou Fanling was so frightened that she almost screamed.
Yao Anxin pushed Hou Fanling away, motioning for her to stay away, and forcefully took it with her back.
After a few whips, the Nineteenth Prince didn't have the head-hugging rat escaping as he imagined. Instead, Yao Anxin just stood there holding his head, holding on to the blow, with only a few muffled grunts in the middle.
"The bones are quite strong. I want to see how long you can hold on." The Nineteenth Prince snorted coldly and struck harder.
When Hou Fanling saw this, she couldn't stand any longer. She stamped her feet and ran away to fetch reinforcements.
The Nineteenth Prince saw it, ignored it, and continued to whip Yao Anxin.
"Nineteenth Prince, what are you doing?!"
The reinforcements brought in by Hou Fanling were none other than Mrs. Jiang, the mother of the host of the flower party, the important minister of the imperial court and the general of the army, Jiang Yi.
Old Mrs. Jiang shouted softly, and the Nineteenth Prince stopped whipping. He was not afraid of Old Mrs. Jiang, he just didn't want to cause trouble.
"Hmph! You're lucky!"
The Nineteenth Prince snorted coldly, put away his whip and left.
When Yao Anxin saw someone coming, she fell to the ground with peace of mind.
When Mrs. Jiang saw it, she didn't have the mood to stop the Nineteenth Prince, so she quickly asked someone to catch him.
It was fine when I went out, but when I came back, I was carrying it back, which scared Mrs. Yao so much.
"What's going on? Why did Sister Xin become like this?!"
Opposite, the servants of the Jiang family didn't know what to say. The first one was the nanny beside Mrs. Jiang, who just briefly talked about what happened, saying that when the masters arrived, Yao Anxin was already like this.
It was the Nineteenth Prince who took action. They didn't know exactly what happened. Madam Yao could wait until Yao Anxin woke up and ask Yao Anxin to find out.
Mrs. Yao is so angry. She went to their party with her daughter who was a good person. How come her daughter was beaten by the 19th prince when everyone else was so good?!
I questioned the Jiang family on the spot and asked for an explanation from the Jiang family.
When grandma saw Mrs. Yao like this, she didn't want to talk nonsense, so she said goodbye and left.
Mrs. Yao became even more angry.
The eldest maid Xia Tao quickly stopped her: "Madam, let's not worry about this for now. Let's ask the doctor to take a look at the eldest lady. What should we do if the eldest lady looks like this... like this?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Call the doctor."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
…
The doctor came shortly after. When he saw Yao Anxin's condition, he said he would prescribe some medicine and drink it first. If he didn't have a high fever at night, he would be fine when he woke up tomorrow.
Yao Anxin was injured on her back, and it was not easy to ask the doctor to take a look. She just vaguely expressed that she needed medicine to treat the injury, and the doctor also prescribed it.
Before Yao Anxin woke up, the maid untied her clothes. When Mrs. Yao saw the whip marks all over her back, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
"Sister Xin, my sister Xin..."
"How did you become like this?"
"Don't worry, Mom will definitely heal the person, and you will be fine."
…
Yao Anxin didn't drink it yet, so he couldn't give her any medicine, so he gave her some medicine first. After she woke up, he let her drink the medicine.
"What's going on? The person who sent you back said that you were beaten by the Nineteenth Prince. But it's all right, why were you beaten by the Nineteenth Prince? Sister Xin, was there someone plotting against you at the banquet?" Yao Anxin
Before waking up, Mrs. Yao had already lined up all the people attending the party.
After thinking about it, she felt that except for those ladies from aristocratic families who didn't deal with her, she couldn't find anyone who would deal with her daughter.
"Mother, it has nothing to do with this. She is the Nineteenth Prince..." Yao Anxin paused. She knew her mother's character very well. Once she revealed that it was caused by the conflict between the Yao family and the Jinjun Prince's Palace, her mother would definitely be blamed.
You're an old lady.
At that time, the old earl did not agree with Miss Yao Si's marriage to Jinjun's palace, but now that he has passed away, everything can be settled as new. If Mrs. Yao is willing, the Yao family can have a good relationship with Jinjun's palace.
Where are these things happening now?
"What's wrong with the Nineteenth Prince? He has no grudges, how could he make things difficult for you? Sister Xin, I know you are kind, but you can't be too kind. People who are kind are bullied, and horses who are kind are ridiculed. Do you understand?
Do you understand?" Madam Yao hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. She even had some doubts, "Tell me honestly, you didn't block the disaster for others, did you? Who did you block it for? Hou Fanling?"
Seeing Mrs. Yao's guesses getting worse, Yao Anxin had no choice but to tell Mrs. Yao the "truth".
