Seeing that the eldest princess was furious and ordered that Xu Shizi and the little maidservant with him be beaten to death with sticks, the wife of the Duke stepped forward to protect her son.

"Princess, please, we know we were wrong. It's all my fault. Can you spare his life for the sake of the newborn child? Otherwise, just beat me to death."

When the eldest princess came, she brought her guards with her. At this time, the guards in the backyard had already brought the little maid over.

As soon as the guard let go, the little maid fell to her knees, trembling. "It's none of my business, Princess. It was the prince who had sex with me because he was attracted by my beauty. What I said is true. Princess, please forgive me."

No matter how hard she begged, the princess turned a deaf ear to her. She just wanted the person who hurt Rui'er to die.

The eldest princess went crazy when she saw Feng Rui's body. This was the child she had raised since childhood, the girl she had nurtured and raised in the palm of her hand. She had grown from a little baby into a graceful young lady, but she actually gave birth to a child for him, Prince Xu, and then died prematurely when he was caught in an adultery. They had made a good promise at the beginning.

But later she got pregnant. All the people in the Duke's Mansion were not innocent and would be buried with Rui'er.

The eldest princess looked so crazy.

The Duke's wife was a little frightened and quickly asked someone to call the Duke over.

It just so happened that the Duke was not at home today.

The princess ordered: "You asked me to forgive him, but who will forgive my Rui'er? Before we got married, didn't you say that you would not let Rui'er have children? You promised that at that time.

You regretted your marriage after getting married. You are so hateful.

I just arrested the person involved and didn't ask you to apologize, which is good. If you say a few more words, believe it or not, I will kill you too."

After hearing this, the Duke's wife quickly shut her mouth. Princess Zhan had been very polite to them recently, so how could she forget that the eldest princess was not a pushover, and even the emperor had to give her some leeway.

At this time, the maid and Master Xu were dragged to a long bench not far away.

The princess came closer, sat on a chair, and said, "Start beating them until they die. Only when I hear their painful cries will I feel better. Otherwise, I won't be able to swallow this anger."

Xu Shizi originally thought that since Feng Rui and the eldest princess had a disagreement after she became pregnant, she had not been to the eldest princess's residence, and the eldest princess had not come to see her either. He originally thought that she was just an orphan, and the eldest princess would not care too much about her since she had already fallen in love with him.

He is a man, Feng Rui is pregnant and cannot take care of him.

It just so happened that there was a maid who was very beautiful and always seduced him, so he indulged himself a little. Who knew that Feng Rui would see it.

When the board fell on him, he shouted: "Mother, spare me! It was that maid who seduced me. It was all her fault."

The eldest princess said coldly: "I am not the mother of a scumbag like you. I dare not be one. Keep going."

No matter how much the maid cried and shouted, the princess didn't even raise her eyelids.

The Duke's wife looked at Princess An's ferocious look and was really worried. The Duke had not returned yet, and she didn't know what to do at this moment.

When she saw the child in the maid's arms, she picked him up and then mustered up the courage to walk up to the eldest princess.

"Princess, look, this is Rui'er's child. You haven't even seen him since he was born, and you are his grandmother. Look how much this child looks like Rui'er."

The eldest princess did not say anything. Lady Xu thought that the eldest princess had softened her heart, so she brought the child closer to let Princess Zhan take a look.

The eldest princess turned her head away and said, "He is the child of your Duke's Mansion, so he should not come near me."

The Duke's wife was embarrassed for a moment and said, "The prince is the child's father after all. Princess, please forgive her. Otherwise, the child will be pitiful if he loses his mother and his father at the same time."

The princess looked at the Duke's wife coldly and said, "She shouldn't have been born in this world. If it weren't for him, Rui'er would have died. You still let me watch you? Aren't you afraid that I will strangle her to death? He..."

The Duke's wife swallowed her saliva. The eldest princess's eyes were too terrifying.

But seeing her son's cries of pain, her heart was bleeding. She originally thought that the eldest princess had abandoned Feng Rui, but who knew that it was not the case.

What should she do? She didn't dare let Princess Zhan look after the child anymore.

Jin Yuyao and Yu Ma stood beside the eldest princess and neither of them said a word. Someone had died. The eldest princess was a darling of heaven and had never suffered such humiliation.

At this time, the maid's pants were covered in blood and she had fainted. If the board continued to hit her, it would probably not take long for the maid to die.

Although she knew that everyone was equal nowadays, this was in ancient times. The eldest princess was in a high position and looked at those people like an ant.

However, if Prince Xu died, the two families would become enemies in the future.

Jin Yuyao was still thinking when the guard who had beaten the princess with the stick came up to her and bowed.

"Your Highness, the maidservant is no longer alive."

The princess remained unmoved and said, "Throw it into a mass grave."

"Yes"

The guard dragged the man out like a dead dog.

Jin Yuyao looked at the maid and didn't feel any sympathy for her. If she wanted to get to the top, she had to be prepared for this.

At this time, the Duke's wife had an extremely ugly expression on her face. Her maid had just died, and she didn't know how long her son could hold on. She was so anxious that the Duke hadn't come back yet.

He looked at his son crying bitterly. The maid's death was a huge blow to her. She only had this one son. She threw herself on Xu Shizi and cried, "Princess, please spare me, please don't hit me anymore. If you continue, I'm going to die."

The man who was spanking her looked up at Princess Zhan and didn't know whether to continue spanking her.

Princess Zhan said, "Why hesitate? Why don't we just fight together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stick fell on the Duke's wife.

The Duke's wife had never suffered such an injustice before, so she cried out, "It hurts so much."

Xu cried out, "Mom, please go away. It's all because of me. Leave me alone or Rui'er won't leave me. Please get out of the way."

The Duke's wife lay on him tightly and didn't move: "I won't leave. What will happen to you if I leave? You are my only son."

The princess laughed contemptuously when she heard her words: "How ironic! It's true that you feel pain when the stick doesn't hit you. Keep hitting me."

The guard who was beating the man with the stick started swinging it again and started hitting him.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard, followed by a deep voice: "Princess, stop. No more fighting."
