Chapter 11: A Man Without Morality

"Master, the princess and her maid left the palace and walked along Yunzhong Street for an hour. Now she is squatting outside the residence of the Imperial Academy Scholar, eating a steamed bun."

Tianxun reported Her Royal Highness the Princess's itinerary in a serious manner.

Qing He's expression remained calm, and he continued to process the memorials, asking slowly.

"But whoever you robbed or smashed up a shop, you should pay compensation just like before."

Based on observations over the past few days, I thought Shi Nuanyu's behavior had improved, but she still remained as bad as ever.

But after a few days, he could no longer resist his rebellious nature.

Tian Xun looked embarrassed. "No, Your Highness the Princess has spent a total of 500 copper coins on treasures today."

This was also what he found strange. In the past, he was the one who cleaned up the mess, but today the princess acted in accordance with her words.

He repeated what he heard under the banyan tree one by one.

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people."

Qing He finally showed some reaction. He put down the pen in his hand to confirm, "Your Highness, do you really say that?"

Jian Tianxun nodded, and he thought about the apology His Highness said today. That word "sorry" really shocked him.

In the past, Her Royal Highness the Princess would never feel guilty towards anyone, let alone apologize.

Shi Nuanyu, who had no idea that she was being suspected, was still preaching to Zhenbao.

"Hush, Jewel, do you hear that crying?"

The two were chatting animatedly when sounds of quarreling and scolding came from all around.

Shi Nuanyu listened carefully and confirmed that the sound came from inside the wall. She had fainted from hunger just now, and only now realized after eating the steamed bun that they had been sitting under the high wall of a mansion.

"Princess, it came from inside."

Zhenbao lowered his voice and pointed inside the high wall.

There seemed to be a fierce quarrel going on inside, with the sounds of smashing porcelain, the shouts of maids, and the curses all mixed together.

Shi Nuanyu suddenly became curious and quietly stuck to the wall with her treasure to eavesdrop.

It is human nature to eat melons, and she felt itchy because she could only hear the sound but not see the picture.

She happened to see the wooden boxes stacked up ten steps away and spoke in a low voice.

"There, climb up and take a peek."

Zhenbao understood what he meant, and the two of them climbed up stealthily like two mice stealing food.

As soon as I climbed up, I saw a woman in simple clothes being slapped in the face by a man with a ferocious face.

The man showed no mercy, using all his strength and swearing like a spitting feces.

"Bitch, I married you to support you, not to lecture me. If it weren't for your damned father's incompetence, why would I be ridiculed by my colleagues?"

"If it weren't for you, I would have been promoted long ago. Why would I have to look at your face?"

The woman was beaten so hard that she fell to the ground. Bruise quickly appeared on her face and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

The woman who was beaten and scolded covered her face with her hands and stared at him stubbornly, without a trace of cowardice.

"Li Rong, you are the one who betrayed me and lied to me. How can you be so shameless now?"

Li Rong was stimulated by these words. He squatted down, grabbed the woman's neck and cursed her fiercely.

"You lowly creature! I am a fourth-rank Imperial Academy student. You are but a commoner. What qualifications do you have to accuse me of betrayal?"

"I can marry whoever I want, and I can take whoever I want as my concubine. What's it to you?"

He kept calling women "this official" and it was obvious that he hated women.

Damn it, this domestic violence, cheating, and scumbag man made her so angry.

No matter where you are, there are always disgusting men.

Shi Nuanyu was so angry that she clenched her fists and wished she could go up and give the man the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

"Zhenbao, do you know who that woman is?"

"She is Mr. Wenyuan's legitimate daughter. A few years ago, Li Rong came to ask for her hand in marriage. Moved by his sincerity, she married him."

A magnetic and low voice sounded beside her ear. Shi Nuanyu turned her head suddenly and saw a man wearing a mask.

"Who are you? What did you do to the treasure?" She asked cautiously. The person who could appear beside her quietly must be the one with extraordinary martial arts skills as rumored in the novel.

The man motioned her to look down, "I am a knight who stands up for justice. As for your maid, she is down there."

His voice was cheerful and bold, which was in line with the unconventional hero.

Shi Nuanyu looked down and saw Zhenbao sitting on the ground, unable to move or speak, blinking at her.

"Jewel, are you okay?"

Zhenbao shook his head and blinked desperately.

Princess, Princess, he, he...

She wanted to tell the princess the man's identity, but when she met his indifferent gaze, she was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes.

Shi Nuanyu didn't understand why, but the people inside the walls attracted her more.

"Zhenbao, wait a moment, I'll go down and rescue you later."

The man asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of what I might do to the little girl?"

Shi Nuanyu rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. The woman in the courtyard was Mr. Wen Yuan's biological daughter. Mr. Wen Yuan was angry at the original owner. Since she had occupied the original owner's body, it was equivalent to her owing him something.

Judging from Li Rong's behavior, it is clear that he has been beating his wife for a long time.

If she could help the woman escape from her suffering, it would be like repaying Mr. Wenyuan's kindness.

What's more, domestic violence men must be punished. They deceive girls with their mouths and then want to enjoy the happiness of having two wives. How can such a good thing happen in the world?

The man seemed to see what Shi Nuanyu was thinking, and he kindly reminded her.

"The laws of the Southern Moon are very lenient towards men. Beating a wife does not constitute a divorce."

Shi Nuanyu was surprised. "She was beaten to death by her so-called husband, and they couldn't even divorce. Is the law of Nanyue meant to feed dogs?"

"The old sow took off her pants after climbing a tree. She's sick."

The man was interested in her words. "What do you mean?"

Shi Nuanyu used her hands and feet to get off the wooden box, ignoring the man who was following her and asking questions.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the man untied Zhenbao's acupuncture points.

"You are so rude, woman. Don't you know that answering is a basic courtesy?"

Shi Nuanyu is not the type to be humiliated, so she responded without any hesitation.

"You are such a shameless man! Don't you know that harassing a strange woman is considered harassment?"

Regardless of the man's expression, he pulled up the treasure and left angrily.

The laws of Nanyue cannot punish him, and her status as a princess is enough to reduce him to the fourth rank.

She hasn't forgotten her vicious personality.

The man looked at the woman's hurriedly leaving back inquiringly. The raised corners of his mouth disappeared, and a hint of doubt flashed across his ice-blue eyes.

"Master, the Imperial Master invites you."

The man in black who suddenly appeared behind him reported to him.

After returning to the palace, Shi Nuanyu locked herself in her bedroom and asked someone to bring the Nanyue Law for her to study hard.

You won’t know how shocking it is until you see it. Although she was not a law major in her previous life, she would still take a look or two at it when she had free time.

The laws here are simply unspeakable. Could it be that the original owner's parents had no plans to manage Nan Yue properly besides fighting wars?

As expected of the world in the book, nothing is mentioned that doesn’t interest the reader.

It's all centered around the protagonist, and it's all about either torturing men or abusing men.

Is there nothing else in your mind except men?

Because the renovation of Haoyue Residence was not completed, Hua Lingyan still slept in the side room of Furong Pavilion.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Zhenbao urged her to go to the ear room to sleep on time.

Following Nuan Yu's instructions, the furnishings in the ear room returned to normal tonight. The only thing that remained unchanged was Hua Lingyan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with her clothes half-open, revealing her eight-pack abs.
