Two palace men stepped forward quickly, one of them cut Mu Yao's arm behind her back, and the other stood still, opened his bow from left to right, and slapped Mu Yao loudly more than ten times in one go.
By the time he stopped, the corners of Mu Yao's lips were cracked and bleeding, and her cheeks were red and swollen.
However, she did not beg for mercy and stood stubbornly, half-lowering her eyes and saying nothing. Under her eyelashes, there was a strong hatred that could not be hidden.
"Are you not convinced?" Princess Huaichang sneered.
"People's daughters don't dare." Mu Yao didn't shed a single tear.
Princess Huaichang looked at her steadily for a moment and said, "Okay, get out of here. Next time, I will be a hundred times more vicious than now."
Mu Yao lowered his head to salute and slowly retreated.
Princess Huaichang watched her go away and said to Mu Yunhan: "This is her true face. Whether she is crying or begging for mercy, it is all fake."
Mu Yunhan smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for standing up for me."
"There is no need to be polite between you and me. I can't open my eyes in other places, but if I have to be soft on her, that would be really annoying."
Princess Huaichang smiled and waved her hand: "Come on, where do you live? Take me to have a rest. I'm so tired."
"They have also prepared a residence for His Highness, which is also in the third courtyard. I will take you there." Mu Yunhan led Princess Huaichang back.
"What are your plans for the future?" Princess Huaichang asked.
Mu Yunhan said: "I will move back after the new year, and a restaurant will open..."
The two of them chatted, and when they arrived at the third courtyard, they settled in properly. Princess Huaichang wanted to rest, so Mu Yunhan went back to his room.
From her room, you can vaguely see Mu Yao's room.
The door was closed there, and there was no light or sound at all.
Xiaomi said softly: "The second lady's expression just now was so scary."
Da Mi also said: "Of course she hates it. Her Royal Highness the Princess ordered someone to slap her. I'm afraid she has never experienced such humiliation in her life."
Mu Yunhan didn't know that with Mu Yao's temperament, if he could pretend to be a good person, he would never pretend to be a bad person. If he could get along softly, he would definitely not be able to offend others when he got tough.
I'm afraid it's really hateful to show it in words like that.
Da Mi sighed: "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to protect the girl like this. It's really satisfying."
Mu Yunhan smiled faintly: "Dami went to Qingfeng and asked him to check whether anyone saw me being pushed just now."
Da Mi was extremely surprised: "Didn't Her Highness Princess say..."
"Just go if you are told, don't talk too much." Xiaomi pushed her out: "Don't make a fuss, you know?"
"Okay." Rice left obediently.
Xiaomi said softly: "Does the girl feel something is wrong?"
Mu Yunhan whispered: "It's nothing, I just feel uneasy. The person who pushed me was very strong, fast and hard."
She has been practicing martial arts for several years, but Mu Yao doesn't know kung fu. Logically speaking, he can't do it at this level.
Of course, everyone has several faces, and maybe Mu Yao also hides them.
Therefore, she trusts her own intuition more, believing what she sees and hearing what she hears.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that everyone came back one after another.
After almost two nights of not sleeping, everyone was very tired, so they asked for hot water and went back to their rooms to rest.
Da Mi followed and came back: "The priest has sent people to investigate the matter. He wants to stay in the temple to continue the inheritance and cannot come to see you. Please take care of yourself and don't go out easily these two days."
Suddenly a shrill cry came from the outer courtyard. It sounded suddenly and disappeared suddenly, which was horrifying. (To be continued)
