Long Live the Empress

Chapter 148 Tigers and Leopards Playing in Spring (1)

The Yue Mansion kept the matter of the Second Aunt very secret, and not a single bit of it was leaked out.

Yue Tianhong also took advantage of the quiet days to recover his body. Because the winter banquet in the palace would start in half a month, Yue Tianhong practiced horse riding and archery at the horse farm in the palace in order to restore his image in front of the old emperor and everyone.

Yue Yuyan became increasingly depressed. She rarely even went out and just sat on the second aunt's couch in a daze every day.

Suddenly the little maid ran in: "Miss Third, Miss Second is here!"

When Yue Yuyan heard this, hatred immediately filled her chest and she roared, "What is she doing here? My aunt is dead, why is she still here! Let her go... let her go..."

The little maidservant was so frightened by Yue Yuyan's loss of control that she couldn't even speak. Then she heard a delicate laugh coming from the yard, "I haven't seen Third Sister for a few days. Third Sister has become so ignorant of etiquette! Alas, she is really a child without a mother!"

When Yue Yuyan heard this, she stood up from the couch with a bang, her hands creaking. Before her aunt's body was even cold, someone came to bully her!

Yue Yuyan rushed out in two steps, pointing at Yue Jinghong's face and cursing, "Humph! Your aunt is alive, but unfortunately... she's a paraplegic! With her current appearance, let alone going to her room, I guess even looking at her would make father feel sick!"

"You!" Yue Jinghong hated it most when people said Aunt Su was a paraplegic. "How dare you say that about my aunt? I'll beat you to death! Someone, tear this bitch's mouth off!"

The servants were used to bullying the weak, and now that Yue Yuyan had lost her power and had no one to back her up, they had nothing to worry about. They all rushed up and grabbed Yue Yuyan's hair and slapped her twice.

Yue Yuyan was not a weak person either. She struggled hard to break free from their grip and rammed her head against the maid who was grabbing her hair.

The little maidservant was caught off guard and fell to the ground, with a few strands of Yue Yuyan's hair still in her hands.

Seeing that several people couldn't beat Yue Yuyan, Yue Jinghong shouted loudly: "If you slap her, I will reward you with one ounce of silver!"

After these words were spoken, the maids who were beating people also became excited and helped each other to catch Yue Yuyan.

Yue Yuyan struggled like crazy, but she had barely eaten anything recently and had already used up all her strength, so she couldn't get away. "Bitch! Let me go if you dare! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Yue Jinghong covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and chuckled. "I'm afraid you don't have that chance, Third Sister! Someone, come and fight!"

The little maid reached out and slapped Yue Yuyan.

"Haven't you eaten? Get out of here!" Zhenzhu pushed the maid away, rolled up her sleeves and slapped Yue Yuyan hard.

Before Yue Yuyan could finish her curse, Zhenzhu slapped her again. After only two slaps, Yue Yuyan's face was swollen and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Yue Jinghong was very satisfied with this. She sat on the stone bench in the yard, picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Zhenzhu was very alert, she knew Yue Jinghong wanted her to continue beating people, so Zhenzhu attacked from both sides, not giving Yue Yuyan a chance to breathe. After hitting her for more than 30 times, Zhenzhu was sweating all over.

Yue Jinghong raised her eyelids and took a look, and burst out laughing, "Third sister...hahaha...how did third sister become a pig-head! Hahaha..."

Yue Yuyan's face was truly horrible. Her face was swollen to twice its original size, and her peach-shaped almond eyes had turned into a slit. She was so ugly that she could be compared to Aunt Su.

Yue Yuyan spat out a mouthful of blood, and her white teeth were now stained red by the blood. "Haha, when it comes to being a pig, I'm afraid no one in this world can compare to Aunt Su! Hahaha!"

Yue Jinghong threw away the teacup in her hand, "Third sister's mouth is still so powerful! Now let you have a taste of my power! Come on, bring it up!"

Two servants came forward carrying a large cloth bag. From time to time, there were some noises coming from the bag. I don't know what was in it...

Yue Jinghong looked at Yue Yuyan's bewildered face and explained proudly, "Third sister, have you ever heard of tigers and leopards playing with spring?"

Tigers and leopards playing in spring? What is that? Before Yue Yuyan could figure it out, Yue Jinghong continued to say "kindly": "The tiger refers to the cat, and the leopard is naturally the mouse. Cats and mice are natural enemies, and when a cat sees a mouse, it will catch it out of instinct, and the mouse will panic and run around..."
