*Pfft*
Wu Shuyu could not hold back her laughter as she held her stomach. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she continued to laugh. "Ahahaha! This is too rich! The Emperor is awesome! Ahahahaha!" The more she laughed the more the people of the General's Manor faces contorted with anger.
General Wu Couldn't take it anymore and shouted out: "Wu Shuyu shut your mouth now!"
"General Wu! Is this how you speak to Princess Xiannu? Are you not telling the Emperor himself to shut his mouth when speaking this way to the Princess? Are you saying that you are above the Emperor? Are you trying to rebel!?" Eunuch He word for word caused General Wu to choke on his words and made his face go completely pale.
General Wu was scared stiff he immediately slammed his head against the ground saying: "I do not dare! I do not dare!"
"What is it that you do not dare do General Wu?" Eunuch He's voice sounded out once again causing General Wu and the rest of the General's Manor to shiver.
"I dare do nothing! I dare do nothing!" General Wu was furious in his heart. He knew this Eunuch was doing this to mess with him!
"Un! That is Good! Now then, Princess Xiannu please continue laughing. The Emperor and Prince Jie both want you to be happy." Eunuch He said while giving Wu Shuyu a meaningful smile.
"It's okay Eunuch He, you may continue. " Wu Shuyu said as she finally caught her breath. She had to admit this was probably the best laugh she has had since she came to this world.
"Un! As the Princess Xiannu says. Now Then. Third Young Miss, Wu Mei why have you not accepted your decree? Are you looking to be cut at the waist?" As soon as Eunuch He turned his attention away from Wu Shuyu the smile on his face completely disappeared.
Hearing Eunuch He say that she could be cut at the waist, Wu Mei clenched her fist as tears rolled down her cheek as she reluctantly said: "Wu Mei accepts the Imperial Decree. Long Live the Emperor." Wu Mei's hands trembled as the decree was placed into her hands. She knew now she had no choice but to suffer thirty lashes naked in front of all those who walk by to see. Tears streamed down her cheeks like a river as she thought about this. She was supposed to be married to the crown prince! How was she supposed to get married now if the entire world has seen her naked! If she was not afraid to die she would kill herself right this instant!
"Wait!" General Wu could not take it any longer. If his Third Daughter accepted the decree that would mean she would not be able to get married to the crown prince! Hearing General Wu interrupt brought a light of hope to Wu Mei's eyes. Her father would most certainly do something!
Hearing General Wu's interruption yet again caused Eunuch He to frown. "General Wu do you have something to say?"
"Yes, I do! The rumors about my Third Daughter are false! They were said out of anger by my First Daughter over an internal family dispute!" General Wu clenched his teeth as he tried to save the situation. His Third Daughter was the only one who could put his blood on the throne! He could not let her expose her body to the public and cause her engagement to the Crown Prince to be annulled!
Eunuch He's frown became even more profound. But just before he was about to say something an arrogant and lofty voice was heard coming from behind. "Are you saying this King's Yu'er is lying?"
When General Wu heard the voice his face paled. Out of all the people that could have come, this plague of destruction had to show up. Prince Jie was someone you could not talk to with common sense! He did as he pleased and killed people just for looking at him wrongly. Worst of all was that the Emperor doted on him more than any of the other princes, the Crown Prince included! General Wu was not scared of Prince Jie himself because he had higher cultivation than him but he was scared of the Emperor whose cultivation was extremely profound! Combined with the fact that Prince Jie was the Emperor's favorite, there was no way he could talk back to Prince Jie. It would be like talking back to the emperor himself!
"This General does not dare to think so!" With the appearance of Feng Ji,e he had no choice but to retract his words. It was at this time that a fairy-like voice shouted out!
"Jie'er you came!" Wu Shuyu trotted over to Feng Jie and interlocked her arm with his. When general Wu saw this he was dumbfounded!
'When did his First Daughter meet Prince Jie!?'
Not just General Wu but everyone else also thought the same. Wu Mei who was still kneeling clenched her fist because the man in front of her was hundreds of times more handsome than the Crown Prince! Why was it this Trash was getting everything while she was sitting here on thin ice! Her only thought was that Wu Shuyu had to disappear!
"Un! This King wanted to come earlier but the old man kept bothering me with questions." Feng Jie patted the back of Wu Shuyu's hand and gave her a doting smile before turning back to General Wu where his doting smile became a mocking one. " General Wu if my Yu'er did not lie then the Third Young Miss of your General's Manor really did scream out in pleasure while a dirty beggar rammed her from behind?"
"Prince Jie! My Third Daughter did not! Maybe my Second Daughter confused my Third Daughter for someone else... " General Wu was trying his hardest to find some escape route for Wu Mei. Finally, an idea came to mind and he quickly said: "How about having a Palace Granny check her purity!? This will tell us the truth!"
"Un! We will do as General Wu wants. We can not punish the Third Young Miss without evidence. I just so happened to have brought a Palace Granny with me today. So we can check her purity right here." A sly smile appeared on Feng Jie's face. Wu Shuyu looked up at Feng Jie a little worried. She wondered if she would get in trouble if she was found to be lying… Seeing that worried look on Wu Shuyu's face out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and whispered softly into Wu Shuyu's ear. "Yu'er just sit back and watch the show. Trust this King, this King will handle everything..."
