BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57: Entering Prison
Chapter 57: Entering Prison
“You’re right. Bring Jun Mohuang to the palace too!”
Mohuang Pavilion was in the opposite direction from the Jun Family’s gate.
If Jun Mohuang had obediently handed over the beast pet and the crystal pendant, Feng Yunying would’ve returned to the palace happily, and would never have come here.
Thus, Jun Mohuang was also partly responsible for this mess.
Having a headache, Jun Yangfeng had no choice but to find Jun Mohuang as per her request.
Feng Yunying was so dirty and smelly that she took Jun Moxue back to the palace without waiting for Jun Mohuang.
The third elder and the patriarch hurriedly followed, worried about Jun Moxue.
“Father, you must seek justice for me!”
Feng Yunying lay in the arms of Huan Yun’s king, her tears falling like raindrops as she explained the ins and outs of the matter.
In order to prove the facts, she had only bathed and changed her clothes in the palace, and had yet to apply any medicine on her face.
“Ridiculous. Men, punish Jun Moxue with 100 beatings. Put her in jail afterwards!”
King Feng Kui immediately gave an order upon seeing his favorite daughter’s pitiful state.
“King, Fifth Princess, Xue’er really didn’t mean it. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.”
The third elder followed all the way to the palace, and immediately spoke upon hearing about the punishment.
100 beatings wasn’t much; she would at most have to stay in bed for half a month.
But if an aristocratic lady was put in prison, her reputation would be completely destroyed. Who would marry Jun Moxue in the future?
“What do you mean it’s a misunderstanding? Are you saying that I’m deliberately wronging her?!”
“No, that’s not...”
“Fifth Princess, the third elder is confused. I’m afraid there must be a hidden secret to it. Xue’er wouldn’t push the princess for no reason.”
The Jun Family’s patriarch also joined in to defend Jun Moxue.
“Father, I only went to the Jun Family’s house to play, and landed in such a state. They even said that Jun Moxue didn’t do it intentionally, and are making excuses for her.”
Regardless, it had been Jun Moxue who pushed her into the water because she was smelly.
But this reason was too shameful, and damaged her image as a princess, so Feng Yunying kept quiet about it.
“Okay, stop it. The evidence is solid. Men, execute the punishment!”
Feng Kui was distressed about what happened to his baby daughter, and refused to listen to the two old men’s excuses.
“Yes!”
A guard immediately entered with a torture stick and a large stool.
Jun Moxue, who had been kneeling in the hall, was escorted to the stool.
The thick stick hit her hips and waist without restraint.
“Ah! It hurts!” Jun Moxue screamed miserably.
“Fifth Princess, let bygones be bygones. Let’s spare Xue’er this time.”
“It’s only natural for her to be beaten for pushing the princess. On the account that she’s young and childish, please spare her from being jailed.”
The third elder and Jun Yangfeng felt extremely distressed by the screams.
On the other hand, Feng Yunying was delighted to hear her being beaten.
Humph. This was the price she had to pay for pushing her into the water and hitting her.
Upon hearing the two men beg for mercy, Feng Yunying rolled her eyes.
“Humph. I can’t possibly just let her go. As long as you let Jun Mohuang kneel down and offer her beast pet and crystal pendant to me, I’ll spare Jun Moxue from prison.”
