Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

As expected, tea and wine were prepared in the reception room, and many servants were serving them. Zong Shouyuan sat there, looking up at the visitor, without any intention of standing up to greet him. He just apologized in a neutral tone, "My legs and feet are inconvenient, so I am rude."

"...It's okay," Prince Bao nodded with a forced smile.

This guy has always been so unruly. He wasn't very polite even before his leg was injured, and now he's too lazy to even pretend.

When Prince Bao thought about how many times he had been treated coldly over the years, his expression twisted slightly.

It was too easy for this guy to just cripple one leg. When he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will be deprived of everything and then trampled underfoot to humiliate him.

Prince Bao took a deep breath, endured for the time being, hid all the dark thoughts in his heart, chose a seat to sit face to face with Zong Shouyuan, and smiled, "General Zong has read the visiting card, and I believe he already knows the purpose of my visit today."

"Spring is gone, Jade is drunk, Lotus is fragrant." He raised his hands and clapped twice, and the three servants immediately took small steps towards him.

When they came near their master, they knelt down naturally without any hesitation, lowered their brows and eyes, like completely tamed slaves.

Prince Bao raised his hand and pinched Nian Miaolan's chin, who was closest to him, and showed her face to Zong Shouyuan. He stroked it slowly a few times and said meaningfully, "The slave girl that your majesty awarded to me seems to have some connection with General Zong's wife..."

The toy that kneeled at his feet and allowed him to do whatever he wanted was a blood sister of General Zong Xiao's wife. His attitude was so contemptuous that it was not only a humiliation to Nian Tu, but also a humiliation to the Zhenguogong Mansion.

Zong Shouyuan's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes showed a wolf-like ferocity.

He didn't care whether he was insulted or not, but he couldn't stand anyone mentioning Nian Nian in such a disgusting tone.

Noticing that he was irritated, Prince Bao narrowed his eyes in a good mood and looked around, "Why can't I see my wife? Isn't she at home?"

While examining Zong Shouyuan's ugly face, he deliberately sighed, "This king specially brought Chunxiao, Yuzui and Lianxiang with him today to reunite with Madam's family... It would be a pity if Madam was not here."

When a distinguished guest comes to visit, Nian Tu, as the legal wife, should welcome the guest together with her husband. Moreover, today the guest is not only the prince, but also her stepmother and sister who have become slaves with her. Putting himself in the other's shoes, Prince Bao firmly believes that no one would not want to see the scene of the enemy's misfortune with their own eyes.

But Nian Tu was nowhere to be seen.

Prince Bao couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

It seems that most of the rumors outside in recent days are true - Zong Shouyuan, a hot-tempered and reckless man, really beat up his own wife.

It was no wonder that he was so unscrupulous. This marriage was originally a marriage of high status for the woman, and now that the Nian family had completely collapsed, Nian Tu didn't even have a family to rely on, so she was naturally bullied.

But, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.

A weak woman who was forced into a desperate situation could still be a good chess piece. Nian Tu was no longer favored, but after all, she was the wife's title and the person beside her. As long as she was used well, she would be able to play a miraculous role.

The more Prince Bao thought about it, the happier he became. He patted Nian Miaolan's pretty face and said, "Go dance."

As for the other two women, they naturally couldn't sit idle either. One played the piano and the other sang along.

Whether it was Jiang or the two sisters from the Nian family, they all learned their skills temporarily after entering the palace. They were not "excellent" at all, and could even be described as clumsy. Prince Bao was a playboy by nature, surrounded by beautiful women, and had high standards. People like this mother and daughter were never in his eyes.

He looked down at the three people who were performing hard, shook his head and sneered, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zong Shouyuan, "Although the women of the Nian family are beautiful, they are not interesting and don't know how to please men. I'm sure General Zong feels the same way, right?"

As women who were both trained by the Nian family, Nian Tu might not be as knowledgeable and interesting as her two younger sisters.

Jinying and Yurui had told him that Zong Shouyuan had always been cold to his wife, and that Nian Tu had completely fallen out of favor since they entered the mansion. Prince Bao believed that he understood men's preferences and had no doubts about this.

Even though Zong Shouyuan just lowered his eyes to drink, his gaze was not on the three women in front of him, and he did not answer his questions, he just took it as a tacit consent, and felt more at ease.

Just because the master is not interested in watching a performance doesn't mean the servants are not interested either. The Duke's Mansion doesn't usually have singing and dancing entertainment, but today it's rare to see one, and the servants are very interested and stare at it non-stop.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Nian Miaolan swayed her waist gently, her silk skirt fluttering in the air, Nian Miaozhu sang some obscene songs in a soft voice, and Jiang knelt humbly beside them, her fingertips, which had never touched water before, had already been worn into a layer of rough calluses.

Many eyes fell on them from all directions, making their faces feel hot and red.

From being high and mighty mistresses and young ladies, they have been reduced to playthings that can be picked by anyone. No matter how resigned they are to their fate, they cannot remain indifferent to it.

The feeling of shame tormented the three people's hearts all the time, but until the prince called them to stop, they dared not stop. They could only force themselves to think of other things and shift their attention elsewhere.

Don't think about themselves, think more about Nian Tu...

She did not show up even when distinguished guests came to visit her. She must have been beaten so badly that she could not see anyone and was lying on her sickbed unable to get up!

With such a fragile body, she would gasp for air even without anyone touching her. After being beaten up, I don’t know how many days she can live! !

When he thought of this, Nian Miaozhu couldn't help laughing and accidentally sang a wrong note, which was very obvious and extremely funny.

Prince Bao's expression suddenly turned cold. He put down the teacup in his hand and ordered his attendant, "Slap him in the face."

"!!!"

“Mercy!” The smile on Nian Miaozhu’s face froze instantly. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt down and begged for mercy, “Please, my lord! Please spare this time!”

She only had time to cry out for help before a slap as strong as a palm-leaf fan hit her left cheek. She staggered and fell to the ground. Before she could recover, she was pulled upright again and given a loud slap on the right cheek.

For a moment, the sound of slapping hands and wailing almost drowned out the sound of the piano. Jiang and Nian Miaolan were pale and terrified, their breathing becoming disordered.

It is said that General Zong has a bad temper, but isn't the prince also moody?

They served as slaves and maids, trembling with fear as if walking on thin ice, and being beaten was commonplace. But they could never have imagined that although the prince had been particularly fond of them in recent days and had specially brought them to see Nian Tu, he would suddenly attack them in public and show no mercy at all.

Nian Miaozhu was being beaten, and they dared not ask for mercy, stop the performance, or make mistakes. But their hearts were already in disarray, and the piano music still missed a beat, and the dance steps went wrong.

Prince Bao looked down from a high position, and with just a glance, two of his followers understood his instructions and strode forward, with the sounds of clapping mixed together.

"Excuse me," he turned around slowly, smiled and nodded at Zong Shouyuan, "I have always been kind to women, but when it comes to disciplining them, I will never show mercy."

He blew on the scalding tea and took a sip. "Women still need more lessons to become more docile and gentle. What do you think, General Zong?"

"...Haha", Zong Shouyuan sneered, "I beg to differ."

He was happy to see the guys who bullied Nian Nian get beaten, but he was disgusted by Prince Bao's ridiculous argument from the bottom of his heart.

Prince Bao laughed, thinking he was just being stubborn.

I thought General Zong didn't care about his image, but it seems he does. He beat his wife so badly that she couldn't even show up to meet people and entertain guests, but he still refused to admit it! !

He put down the teacup and stood up, "I just drank a lot of tea, I will go change my clothes first."

Having said that, he ignored the three slaves who were still being punished, stepped past them, and walked out with big strides.

He couldn't wait to meet Nian Tu and receive this chess piece.

Zong Shouyuan looked calm and did not stop them. He only pointed two servants and asked them to follow Prince Bao. "You two, go and lead the way for the prince."

In name it is to guide the way, but in reality it is surveillance.

Although everyone knew the truth, it was inconvenient for the servants to watch the prince wash his hands openly, so they could only stop outside the east toilet and guard the only entrance and exit.

As soon as the two men stood still, something rushed out from the door, passed by them like a gust of wind, and quickly ran away.

"what is that??!"

"It looks like a cat..."

They both breathed a sigh of relief and didn't take it to heart.

Hearing these two conversations from afar, the orange-furred raccoon cat shook its ears, with human-like disdain in its eyes.

Being able to transform into a beast form is the secret of their royal family. Tan Konglin trusts Zong Shouyuan and may allow him to know this secret, but that's all. This secret will never be passed on to ordinary servants.

As long as he gets rid of Zong Shouyuan's sight, he can use his beast form to freely explore the entire Zhenguo Mansion. Why would he worry about not finding Nian Tu?

A burning fighting spirit ignited in the orange cat's eyes, and he began to search for Nian Tu.

There is no...

There is no...

When he changed into animal form, his sense of smell became more sensitive, and he could easily find places with strong medicinal smell nearby.

But after wandering around for a long time, he only found a few medicinal gardens, a medicinal material warehouse, and the residence of the mansion's doctor. He finally found a bedridden patient, who turned out to be a real man.

After a series of fierce operations, Prince Bao still couldn't find any trace of Nian Tu. He squatted on the ground tiredly, his confidence greatly reduced, and he fell into doubt.

Could it be that Nian Tu had been beaten to death? Did Zong Shouyuan conceal this matter? ?

Forget it... Since I'm here now, I can't make a wasted trip. Since I can't find Nian Tu, I'll go to Zong Shouyuan's study to see if I can find some secrets.

Time is precious and there is no room for hesitation. Prince Bao quickly made up his mind, came to the study, walked in with an arrogant cat step, and swaggered through the door.

Hearing the sound, the person sitting behind the desk raised his head.

Their eyes met, the orange cat raised its front paws into the air, its eyes widened, its body frozen.
