Chapter 1507: 1507 taking the bla for the master2
“I originally intended to facilitate a union between Minxiang and the young Master,” the guard Hu Hong also spoke up. “I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up in bed with Minxiang. Even though this isn’t the first ti we have been intimate, this occasion was very odd.”
Xiao Yuchuan harrumphed, “That’s because you didn’t knock out. I drugged you and Minxiang, to help you, you dog-couple!”
Minxiang felt terrible inside. Her virginity had been ruined by a guard, even though both she and Hu Hong were acting under the Lady’s orders. Now, to protect the Lady, she still had to falsely claim that she had an affair with Hu Hong.
Shen Yun pretended to be shocked and anxious, “Chuan’er, you were knocked out? Are you alright?” She walked over to him, sizing him up from head to toe, even reaching out to touch his arms and neck.
Xiao Yuchuan avoided her touch with a cold face, “I’m fine.”
Minxiang kowtowed on the ground, “young Master, in a mont of foolishness, I fancied I could climb the social ladder. Please show rcy, young Master!”
Shen Yun’s face showed utmost disappointnt, “Minxiang, you were my favorite Maid, I never thought you’d commit such an error. You’ve truly let down!”
“I deserve to die.” Tears welled up in Minxiang’s eyes, “I was montarily possessed by a folly, I beg the Lady for forgiveness.”
Shen Yun looked toward Xiao Yuchuan, “Chuan’er, how do you want to deal with this?”
“You need to give a satisfactory account,” said Xiao Yuchuan, expressionless.
Shen Yun said seriously, “If you admit that you are the legitimate son of the Xiao Family, and Minxiang had the audacity to target the young Master, to rebel from below and even knocked you unconscious, then she has walked herself into a dead end. If you deny it, I, too, wish to spare her life. A punishnt of fifty heavy strikes with the rod, and then she can be expelled from the Mansion. Hu Hong gets a hundred strikes, and he will also be expelled.”
“Lady, have rcy, I’ve realized my mistake. Punish as you will, but please don’t cast out!” Minxiang pleaded, pale with fright, continuously kowtowing till her forehead bled.
Hu Hong also begged for rcy, “Please show leniency, Lady!”
“Carry out the punishnt in the yard!” Shen Yun waved her hand dismissively.
Hu Hong and Minxiang were imdiately taken by other guards and made to lie across benches while two guards took up long rods and began to administer heavy blows.
After a few strikes, unable to bear the pain, they started to scream, causing Shen Yun to frown, “Gag them, lest they disturb the late night.”
Both of their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls, and even as they were beaten half to death, they could only grunt.
Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan watched this, then silently returned to Qin Garden.
Once they were out of sight, Shen Yun quickly said, “Stop.”
The guards imdiately ceased the punishnt.
Shen Yun personally removed the cloth balls from Hu Hong and Minxiang’s mouths, speaking with a pained expression, “You’ve both suffered, clearly following my orders, yet when the sche was exposed, to prevent Chuan’er from being disappointed in , you willingly sacrificed your reputations by claiming you were involved with each other without coordinating your story. I owe you.”
Minxiang’s buttocks were bloodied from the beating, and with difficulty, she eked out, “It’s an honor… to serve the Lady.”
“I am willing to go through fire and water for the Lady, without any hesitation,” Hu Hong also strenuously expressed his loyalty.
“Very good,” Shen Yun said with a satisfied look, “I have not misjudged you after all. When I said you would be expelled from the Mansion, it was just for show to Chuan’er. From now on, you mustn’t appear openly in the Mansion; serve discreetly on missions.”
“Yes.”
“Now go take care of your injuries,” Shen Yun waved her hand nonchalantly.
