good season

Chapter 131: Yan Xia was beaten to a bloody pulp (two chapters combined into one)

Nanny Niu secretly looked up, wanting to check the expressions of her masters, but she met Zhu Yu's playful eyes, and Nanny Niu's heart sank again.

She was Madam Wei's maid who came with her as a dowry, and she had watched Zhu Yu and his son grow up.

This father and son pair, the older one is lustful and greedy, but fortunately he still cares about his reputation and more or less cares about his face.

But this younger one has completely lost his dignity. A man who can rape and kill his own sister can no longer be called a human being.

Nanny Niu knew that if Madam Wei wanted to find someone to take the blame, that person would definitely be her.

Otherwise, why would Zhu Yu look at her with such teasing and mockery in his eyes?

At this moment, a little maid stumbled in and said without any greeting: "Madam, someone from the Ministry of Justice is here, and they want us to hand over the prince!"

The silver-inlaid ebony chopsticks were slammed heavily on the table. Madam Wei said angrily with a trembling mouth, "Who do they think they are? They are so bold as to come to the Marquis of Baoqing's mansion to arrest people. Where is the Marquis? Let the Marquis go and reason with them!"

The maid said boldly: "The Marquis has not returned since leaving the court."

"Then let the second master, the third master, and the fifth master all go. The Bo's Mansion has raised them for so many years, and it's time for them to contribute!" Old Madam Wei shouted hoarsely.

The maids withdrew and went to the courtyards of several masters.

The second master mentioned by Mrs. Wei is the half-brother of Marquis Baoqing, and the father of Zhu Qing and Zhu Xin. The third master and the fifth master are Marquis Baoqing's cousins.

The Baoqing Marquis's Mansion is not prosperous, and even the eldest son is a single-line heir.

When Madam Wei's father-in-law was still alive, he left a will that the Baoqing Marquisate would not be divided within three generations. Counting from Madam Wei's generation, Zhu Yu is the third generation. Therefore, it is not yet time for the Baoqing Marquisate to be divided.

Even so, by Zhu Yu's generation, there were only six male heirs in the Baoqing Marquis' Mansion, two of whom were from the second house (the concubine's house), which Old Madam Wei disliked the most. The eldest house was still a single-lineage house with only Zhu Yu as the only heir. This is why Old Madam Wei doted on Zhu Yu alone, and the other grandchildren had no blood relationship with her.

A moment later, the three masters appeared in front of Yan Xia reluctantly.

Compared with Lord Zhu and his son who are "famous" in the capital, these three masters are invisible people. Although they have jobs outside, they are all dispensable and idle positions. Eighty percent of the resources of the Baoqing Marquisate are given to Lord Zhu and his son, and each of their branches gets less than one-tenth of the total.

So, they simply lay down and let things go. Anyway, Old Madam Wei didn't want to see them succeed. When they were not at work, they just took their birds for a walk or listened to opera, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible.

It is conceivable that these three masters were temporarily called out by the old lady just to go through the motions.

Yan Xia said loudly: "The Ministry of Justice is arresting criminals. No one can stop it without an imperial decree. May I ask the gentlemen, do you have an imperial decree?"

What imperial edict? Who could have predicted that you would come to arrest someone today and go to the palace to ask for the imperial edict in advance?

of course not.

Yan Xia had seen this kind of scene many times. At this moment, he saw the smiles on the faces of the three masters becoming more and more awkward, so he snorted coldly: "It seems that there is no more. Then, I would like to ask, do you want to hand over Zhu Yu voluntarily, or do you want me to go in and catch him myself?"

The three masters looked at each other. Suddenly, the third master's body shook and he fell straight down.

The servant behind him quickly supported him and cried out in a sobbing voice, "Third Master, what happened to you?"

Another servant wiped his tears and said to Yan Xia: "Prince Yan, the Third Master has been studying so hard these past two days that he can't take it anymore."

Yan Xia waved his hand and said, "What are you waiting for? Go see the doctor."

The two servants, as if they had been pardoned, carried the third master and ran away.

In order to let the Third Master stand up for the Crown Prince, he must first ask the Third Mistress whether she agrees. If someone had not seen it that year, his young lady would have been harmed by the Crown Prince. Not to mention cousins, the Crown Prince can even harm his own sister.

After that, the prince continued to act arrogantly in the mansion, but his own young lady was sent away and has not returned since then.

So regarding today's incident, if the Third Master didn't pretend to faint, would he still argue for the Crown Prince?
They ran so fast that they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The second master and the fifth master were so angry that they wanted to curse, "You are so good, third master, you even thought of pretending to be sick."

At this moment, a servant came running over breathlessly: "Fifth Master, Aunt Liu just fell down, please go and take a look."

The Fifth Master heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to Yan Xia: "Master Yan, what a coincidence, my concubine is pregnant, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Xia said sympathetically, "Master Wu has only two daughters, so the pregnancy of the concubine cannot go wrong. Master Wu should go and take a look."

Fifth Master: "Okay, okay, then I'll go take a look?"

Yan Xia: "Let's go and have a look."

The Fifth Master patted the Second Master's shoulder heavily and said, "Second brother, I will leave first."

Before the Second Master could glare at him, the Fifth Master ran away.

In the end, the second master took on everything.

Others can run, but he can't. He is a bastard's son, and he is from the eldest son's family. Zhu Yu is his nephew.

The second master clenched his fists in his sleeves, took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Please understand, Master Yan, I have no choice but to do this."

After that, he said loudly: "Prince Yan, my nephew is a man of integrity and good character. How could he do anything wrong? As long as Zhu is still standing here, I will never let you take him away!"

The corners of Yan Xia's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "If that's the case, then Master Zhu Er, I am offended."

Before he finished speaking, the horsewhip in his hand was suddenly raised. Master Zhu Er was startled and subconsciously took a step back. His legs went limp and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

The fall was quite powerful, and Master Zhu Er gave up struggling due to the pain. He was still there, but could not stand up.

Yan Xia raised his whip high: "In that case, brothers, let's go in and catch him!"

When the news from outside reached Chunhui Hall, Old Madam Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over. She thought that the third and fifth sons were both ungrateful bastards, and that the Marquis' Mansion had raised them for so many years, but it was all in vain.

And the second one is a waste, a waste among wastes!

"Come here, dress me up, I will take care of my grandson myself!"

Zhu Yu hurriedly said: "Grandma, your grandson will protect you."

Madam Wei was so moved that she almost cried. At the critical moment, her eldest grandson was still the most filial and sensible. "Grandma's good Yu'er, grandma's love for you is not in vain."

At this time, Madam Ma ran in and started crying as soon as she entered the room: "Mother, that Yan Xia has already entered the second gate. What should we do? You must protect Yu'er!"

Old Madam Wei became more and more disdainful of her daughter-in-law. Not only was she unable to get pregnant, but she also couldn't keep her man's heart. She thought she would be better as she got older, but now, she was becoming even more impatient.

"How can you cry so much? Look at you, you are no different from those concubines. You don't even look like a wife. You've cried away all the blessings in the world!"

Ma sobbed and didn't dare to cry out loud, but this look made Madam Wei even more unhappy.

Madam Wei got up and went to the inner room, but before the maids could help her put on the imperial robes, Yan Xia had already led his men to Chunhui Hall.

This is the backyard. Madam Wei and Madam Ma both have imperial decrees. Today, Yan Xia rushed in to arrest people. Even if he captures them, he will still take the blame.

However, Yan Xia no longer cared about these things. Even if the king of heaven came today, he would capture Zhu Yu!
If it were anyone else, seeing a group of maids and old women blocking the door, they would have some reservations, worried that they might accidentally bump into the female members of the family. But Xia Yan is not like others. He is the fearless and courageous Xia Yan!

It was just a whip, and the maids and old women started crying and scattered. In fact, they dodged before the whip even hit them.

It is human instinct to avoid danger.

When Yan Xia broke in, Madam Wei was still changing clothes in the inner room, Ma was still sobbing, and Zhu Yu was touching a maid!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yan Xia sneered: "Tie Zhu Yu up and take him away!"

Several yamen runners stepped forward tremblingly, but did not dare to take action.

Oh my God, this is Zhu Yu, the son of Marquis Baoqing, Zhu Yu, the person protected by Concubine Li. They are not the heroes of Yan, and their ancestors never saved Emperor Taizu!
Zhu Yu laughed mockingly: "What's wrong, you don't dare to take action? Yan Xia, your men are not good enough, where did you find these people from?"

Yan Xia sneered: "Since they can't do it, then I will have to do it myself!"

Before he finished speaking, the whip in his hand rolled towards Zhu Yu like a long snake. Zhu Yu had no time to dodge and the whip wrapped around his neck.

The maid in his arms screamed in fear. Zhu Yu was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. Her eyes were wide open as she pointed at Yan Xia. Her throat gurgled, but she could not make a sound.

Seeing this scene, Ma rushed over and tried to snatch the whip from Yan Xia, but before she got close, Yan Xia kicked the stool at his feet. The stool flew up and hit the wall hard, breaking into pieces.

Ma had never seen this formation before. His feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and he could no longer take a single step.

Hearing the noise outside, how could Old Madam Wei bear it any longer? Her Yu'er was being bullied right under her nose!

Before she had even put on her robe, Old Madam Wei walked out in a hurry. The scene before her shocked and angered her.

Yan Xia was strangling Zhu Yu's neck with a whip while ordering his men to tie up Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu's hands were tied behind his back. Although his legs were free, his neck was strangled and he could not escape.

"Let go, let go of Yu'er!"

Old Madam Wei swung her cane and hit Yan Xia. She always paid attention to maintenance and she was still straight even in her sixties. This cane was given by the emperor and she usually took it out for show, but now it has become a weapon.

The cane came at him, but Yan Xia did not dodge or evade, letting it fall on him. However, the hand holding the whip did not loosen at all. Zhu Yu was strangled by his neck, and the force was just right, so that he could not die but could not escape either.

"Ancestor, save me."

The sound was like a cat's meow, and Madam Wei's heart was broken. She raised her cane again and smashed it on Yan Xia's head.

The crutch was made of fine sunken wood, and with just one blow, Yan Xia's head was broken and bleeding.

Blood flowed down his forehead, but Yan Xia still stood straight and steady as a rock.

The men who were tying the knots on Zhu Yu were stunned. Yan Xia shouted, "What are you standing there for? Keep tying them!"

The two men agreed and quickly tied up Zhu Yu tightly. Yan Xia pulled the whip and Zhu Yu was pulled in front of him.

Looking at the blood-spurting Yan Xia in front of him, Zhu Yu felt fear for the first time in his life.

Yan Xia is not a human being, he is not a human being, doesn’t he feel pain?
Yan Xia didn't even glance at him, but turned to look at Madam Wei: "Madam, you are old, worry less and do more good deeds, so that people won't dig up your grave a hundred years later."

"What did you say? Let go of Yu'er, someone, are you all dead? Why don't you save the prince?"

But no matter how much Madam Wei shouted, no one dared to come up.

Yan Xia pulled Zhu Yu with a whip, and Zhu Yu could only stumble out with him.

Outside Chunhui Hall, the guards of the Marquis' Mansion stood there with knives in their hands. When they saw Yan Xia with blood all over his face, they were shocked and hesitated whether to go up and save the prince.

When Yan Xia saw them, he pulled Zhu Yu over with a little force. Yan Xia suddenly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Zhu Yu's chest. The dagger pierced through Zhu Yu's clothes, and her chest instantly turned red.

When Mrs. Wei, who had been chasing after them, saw this scene, her heart was broken, her eyes went dark and she fainted.

The guards of the Marquis' Mansion subconsciously stepped back to make way for Yan Xia, fearing that if they were not careful, the dagger would stab straight down and pierce the Young Master.

Yan Xia held Zhu Yu hostage and walked out of Baoqing Marquis Mansion.

The Baoqing Marquis Mansion was in chaos. A servant rushed to a house in a corner of the capital. This was the outer residence of Marquis Zhu, used to house a pair of beauties that Marquis Zhu had recently acquired.

Lord Zhu has beauty by his side at this time, and they compose a song of Double Flying Swallows together, which is so beautiful and joyful.

When Lord Zhu heard that the servants of the Marquis' Mansion had something important to report, he was in high spirits and just waved his hand: "What is it? Report back in half an hour!"

Half an hour later, Lord Zhu, who had run out of ammunition and food and was exhausted, rolled from the belly of one beauty to the legs of another beauty and fell asleep. What servants and important matters had long been forgotten along with his hundreds of descendants.
Yan Xia ran straight to the Ministry of Justice with blood all over his head and face. His subordinates wanted to ask a doctor to bandage him, but he refused. Instead, he asked people to bring all the books he used when studying in the Imperial College. He covered Zhu Yu with the books and beat Zhu Yu himself.

Zhu Yu was tied up and unable to move. He could only let Yan Xia beat him until all the books were smashed to pieces. Yan Xia stopped only then. Zhu Yu was already lying there motionless.

"Prince, he wouldn't be beaten to death, right?"

Yan Xia shook his head: "Don't worry, he won't die. Go get the doctor. I can't hold on any longer."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Xia fell down!

Yan Xia has an official partner, but she is not the female lead.
