Chapter 221 Slag Male and Slag Female Punished, Shizi Proposes in Public Part 1/3
At this point, Zi You looked around at everyone. She said in a clear voice, “Even if that person is a dandy, idiot, or a commoner, as long as he treats me wholeheartedly, I will marry him. Otherwise, I rather not marry anyone for my entire life!
“You know what I want. You signed an agreement and you made a vow. But what’s the use of them? When my life and death were uncertain, you betrayed your vow to me.” Zi You’s last sentence was said decisively and firmly, which completely disabused Zhao HongXiang of his idea to make up with her.
He completely panicked! He knew if Zi You wouldn’t forgive him, he would lose the opportunity to inherit the Duke’s title. But before he had time to beg for mercy again, the Emperor said, “Zhao HongXiang is stripped of the right to inherit Duke Yongnan’s title. He is demoted to a commoner and will never work for the government as an official. Yu Lanxuan will marry Zhao HongXiang, but she is not allowed to ever step out of Duke Yongnan fu. It’s embarrassing if such a woman comes out to see people!
“On account of Mu Xiaojie pleading on your behalf, Zhen will spare you from parading the streets in sin. However, the dealth penalty can be forgiven, but the crime cannot. Someone, come……. Beat each of them with boards thirty times. Let the all the noble sons and daughters remember to show restraint and not do any immoral or disgraceful things.
“Yu daren and Nee Chen are negligent in teaching their children. Yu daren’s salary will be withheld for one year. Nee Chen will be stripped of her second-rank furen title.”
Nee Chen, Zhao HongXiang, and Yu Lanxuan never expected that they planned on giving Zi You a head-on blow that would humiliate her, but the head-on blow and humiliation now fell on themselves. Moreover, it was humiliation and a head-on blow that would make them regret for a lifetime.
Zhao HongXiang was resentful and angry, but he didn’t feel guilty towards Zi You at all. He just felt hatred for Yu Lanxuan. He thought that if it wasn’t for her, he could have successfully inherited the Duke’s title and married Zi You. He would have become the envy of all the men in the world.
Nee Chen also gritted her teeth in hatred. ‘When that cheap little wench marries over, I won’t be human if I don’t torture her to death!’
They were dragged out and beaten with boards. Then the Emperor and Empress Dowager remembered that Zi You could see through solid objects.
The Emperor said to the veterinarian standing to the side, “Treat the horse according to what Mu Xiaojie says.”
The veterinarian hurried over to bow to Zi You.
Zi You pointed to the area underneath the horse’s tail and said, “Put your hand in there. Gently feel around your wrist area. There is a wire lodged in its intestinal wall. Gently take the wire out. I will help you stabilize the horse and not let it move. When I tell you to, you can start moving.”
Zi You placed her hand on and gently stroked the horse’s head. Sure enough, the horse stopped its movements and quieted down.
The veterinarian followed Zi You’s instructions. Zi You said, “Move a little higher. Feel around slowly. Right in front of your middle finger. You can feel it if you move forward a little. Slowly remove the wire from the intestinal wall……”
