Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 235 Please, Stop Fighting

Yingniang had never seen such a scene before. When she heard the words "beaten to death", she was so frightened that her face turned pale, her mind went blank, and her body trembled and was about to collapse.

Dingxiang and Li Pozi had been pressed down on the bench. Although they struggled desperately, they were still held down tightly by the strong servants and could not move at all.

I saw the one-foot-thick board lifted high, and then fell heavily, making a dull and heavy hitting sound, each one of which was terrifying.

Dingxiang and Li Pozi were beaten so hard that their screams echoed throughout the Youlian Courtyard, making people's hearts jump along with the sound of the board.

Yingniang suddenly came back to her senses. Her lips trembled as she was about to speak when a graceful figure walked towards the door.

It was Xiao Chuchu who was invited here by Cheng Fengyao's people.

Xiao Chuchu was shocked when she saw the horrible appearance of the two people being beaten in the yard. She trembled in her heart. She bowed to Chen Fengyao with a hint of nervousness, "General, what did these two people do wrong? Why did they make you so angry?"

Chen Fengyao glanced at her calmly and said, "The evil servant bullied his master and left his post without permission."

Xiao Chuchu felt a chill run down her body from his stare, and she quickly knelt down and said, "It's all my fault that I'm an incompetent housekeeper and can't judge people well. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Chen Fengyao remained noncommittal, and this attitude clearly implied a warning to Xiao Chuchu.

He handed the inner house over to her, and she manages it like this?

If it weren't for the fact that she cleared Su Su's name back then and hadn't done anything wrong in the past few years, she would have been a part of the beating as well!

When Ding Xiang was beaten and howling like a ghost, she suddenly saw Xiao Chuchu, as if she had found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly called for help, "Aunt Xiao...ah...help...this servant..."

Xiao Chuchu was afraid that Ding Xiang would say something that would anger the general, so she immediately spoke to attract Chen Fengyao's attention, "General, these two servants are so bold and reckless that they put me in such an unjust situation. It's really hateful. After the general punishes them, I will sell them away."

For a wealthy family, selling slaves was already a very severe punishment, but Xiao Chuchu did not expect that her words would be opposed by Chen Fengyao.

"No need."

Xiao Chuchu was stunned, and looked at Chen Fengyao in confusion, but saw the man open his lips lightly, "I have ordered people to beat these two people to death."

Xiao Chuchu was stunned, and felt a chill in the joints of her bones.

There was a "clang" sound, and Chen Fengyao and Xiao Chuchu both turned their heads to look.

Yingniang was seen sitting on the ground with horror in her eyes, staring at Dingxiang and Li Pozi. The two had been beaten to pieces and their pants were bleeding.

Chen Fengyao frowned and was about to reach out to help her up, but she suddenly turned her gaze and looked straight at him. Her eyes were filled with begging in fear, and she kept muttering incoherently, "Stop hitting me... General... Please... Stop hitting me..."

As soon as Chen Fengyao's big hand touched her body, he found that she was trembling like in spasm.

His brows furrowed even more tightly. Tsk, how could he be so timid?

Seeing that she was so frightened that she might faint at any moment, he felt sorry for her and waved his hand to stop the caning. "Okay, stop it!"

The dull sound of the board hitting flesh then disappeared, leaving only the wailing of the two people, which was very annoying to hear.

"Drag these two away, find a human trafficker, and sell them off."

As the two were dragged away, Youlian Courtyard fell into silence so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Chen Fengyao took Yingniang, who had slowly stopped trembling, into his arms, patted her back clumsily, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Aunt Xiao knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the scene in front of her, feeling an unprecedented chill in her heart.

She never knew that the general, who was always serious and cold, could be so tender and affectionate!

After all, Chen Fengyao was not used to coaxing women, so he simply said something and let Yingniang go, then turned to look at Xiao Chuchu who was still kneeling on the ground.

"The General's Mansion has a lot of complicated matters, so it's inevitable that there will be omissions. I won't pursue your negligence this time, but if something similar happens again in the future, I will not let you off easily."

"I will follow the general's instructions." Xiao Chuchu gritted her teeth and lowered her head in response.

"There are too few slaves in Youlian Courtyard. Find a few honest and reliable ones. Let's put four maids and two old women here first."

"Yes."

Chen Fengyao was still thinking about Zheng Shen who was waiting to see Yingniang in the front hall. Time was already quite long and he couldn't delay any longer, so he said, "I remember the set of pearl and ruby ​​head ornaments that His Majesty awarded me last year. Did they go to the storehouse? Go find them and bring some nice jewelry and clothes along with them."

Xiao Chuchu lowered her head and responded, hiding the complicated expression in her eyes, and hurried away.

After a while, some sparkling jewellery and several sets of glittering silk dresses were brought into Youlian Courtyard.

Xiao Chuchu bowed and saluted, "General, please take a look to see if there is anything missing. If you are not satisfied, I will go to the storehouse to look for it."

"Well, let's do this for now. Ask someone to help Yingniang put it on."

"Yes."

Xiao Chuchu called her personal maid and started to serve Yingniang together with herself.

Yingniang was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly, at a loss, "How can I trouble you, sister?"

Xiao Chuchu held Yingniang's hand, with a guilty look on her face, and said earnestly, "It was my sister who failed to supervise me and made me suffer. I apologize to you, so please don't refuse."

As he spoke, he brought Yingniang to sit in front of the bronze mirror. He swiftly removed the silver hairpin on Yingniang's head, re-tied and combed her hair, and put on her head jewelry.

Yingniang was like a puppet, being served to dress her in expensive dresses and jewelry, and put on bright red lip balm. She stared at the direction of the bronze mirror in a trance, but her mind was always thinking about what Chen Fengyao had just said in the yard, "beaten to death", and the miserable appearance of Dingxiang and Li Pozi who were beaten.

"Sister is such a beauty. When she is dressed up like this, she can outshine everyone else in the general's mansion."

It must be said that Xiao Chuchu is a person who is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Seeing that Chen Fengyao's eyes were always looking here, she said again, "General, come and see, my sister is more beautiful than a flower. I feel ashamed when I see her."

Chen Fengyao naturally knew how beautiful Yingniang was, but when she was dressed up like this, she looked like a fairy concubine, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
