Chapter 114 I said, no!
Hu was slapped to the ground, her face instantly swollen. Yun Jingshu, who was standing by, was startled and her face turned pale.
The Duke of England shook her hurt hand, then waved towards Yun Jingshu with eyes full of heartache, "Jingshu, come here to Sixth Aunt."
Yun Jingshu walked over blankly, her uneasy eyes fixed on Mrs. Hu.
At this time, Hu, who was stunned, reacted.
She suddenly got up from the ground and pretended to pounce on the Duchess of England and tear her apart.
The two maids who had been standing by quickly held her down, and Mrs. Hu was unable to move.
Hu Shi couldn't struggle free, so she could only ask with a ferocious look on her face: "Why did you hit me?"
The Duchess of England glanced at her calmly, "Why?"
"Just because of this." She rolled up Yun Jingshu's sleeves, revealing her skin covered in blue and purple.
"Hiss~" Yun Jingshu unconsciously made a sound of pain.
The Duke of England's wife hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did Sixth Aunt hurt you?"
Yun Jingshu shook her head.
Mrs. Hu realized that something was wrong and her eyes rolled around as if she was thinking about how to deal with the situation.
The Duke of Ying touched Yun Jingshu's face and said, "Don't be afraid, Sixth Aunt will take care of it for you. Whatever she did to you in the past, Sixth Aunt will make her pay you back a hundredfold."
Hearing this, Yun Jingshu instantly burst into tears and cried loudly.
Mrs. Hu argued cunningly, "Madam, you must have misunderstood. Jingshu's injuries were not caused by me, they must have been caused by those slaves! I will deal with them all when I get back and give Madam an explanation."
The Lady of the Duke of England left Yun Jingshu in the care of her personal maid and slowly walked up to Mrs. Hu.
She raised her hand and pinched Hu's chin, a bloodthirsty smile on her lips, "Do you think this lady is stupid, or are you too smart?"
Sharp nails dug into Hu's facial muscles. "Who gave you the courage to hurt a girl from the Cui family?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? Even if you are the Duchess of England, you can't ignore the law!"
The Duke of England curled her lips in a cold smile. "Evidence? What evidence do I need to beat you? If you have the guts... report it to the police. Let's see who will die, you or me?"
After she finished speaking, she stopped talking to Hu and ordered someone to bring a whip, and first rewarded Hu with thirty lashes.
The sound of slapping was accompanied by Mrs. Hu's screams. The Duke of England in the inner room heard the noise and quietly came out to take a peek.
I saw Hu lying on the ground, with the whip falling continuously.
The Duke of England shrank his neck and said, "Madam has been so kind to me in the past. I will never hide money again."
After beating Hu with thirty lashes, the Duchess of England squatted in front of the dying Hu and reached out to pull out a hairpin from her head.
Then, she took the hairpin and cut Hu's face bit by bit. Hot blood flowed down her cheeks, accompanied by Hu's screams and pleas for mercy.
"Ma'am, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
The Duke of England remained unmoved. She dropped the hairpin in her hand and ordered, "Break her hands for me."
"Madam, spare your life! Madam, spare your life!"
The Lady of the Duke of England frowned, and the perceptive maid immediately covered Hu's mouth.
Hu was taken out, and soon a heart-wrenching scream was heard.
The Duke of England's wife waved to the Duke of England who was hiding in the corner and peeking, and the Duke of England's scalp instantly went numb.
"Husband... Madam, I will go back and continue kneeling. Don't be angry." The Duke of England said and was about to leave.
"Stop." The Duke of England stopped him. "Accompany me to the Yun family tomorrow. If you do well, you can spend as much money as you want in the future. All you need!"
The Duke of England's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely satisfy you!"

In the Lu Mansion, in General Lu’s room.
Lu Yunting stood in front of his parents' portraits, with several leaders of the Shadow Pavilion standing behind him.
If Jiang Yueyang was present, she would find that Ling Feng, the gardener in her yard, was also here.
Lin Ji spoke first, "Sir, I have compiled a list based on the characteristics of the murderer and the ability to raise assassins. We can use the ability of that girl..."
Lu Yunting raised his hand to interrupt him, "No, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. If she is exposed to the murderer, she will be in danger."
Jiang Yueyang's special abilities have not yet been fully spread, and the Lu family army, who had just returned to Beijing, did not know about it.
"But it's the quickest way to find the killer."
Lu Yunting looked at Lin Ji with sharp eyes, "I said, no!"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and oppressive.
After a while, Lu Yunting said in a deep voice: "I have waited for so many years, so a little time is not a big deal."
"……promise."
Seeing the atmosphere had eased, Ling Feng said, "Master, Miss Jiang asked me to plant a few things a while ago. I heard that the yields of those things are very high. Do you want..."
"Potato?"
"Yes, and corn, tomatoes, and lettuce."
After these days of growth, the things that Jiang Yueyang asked Ling Feng to plant can now be seen as what they are.
Lu Yunting lowered his eyes and thought deeply. The food and fodder distributed by the court was not enough to feed the Lu family army.
Over the years, we have relied on the people from the Shadow Pavilion to do business outside to make money to supplement our income, otherwise we would have starved to death long ago.
How could I have the energy to fight the enemy?
Lu Yunting knew that the emperor was afraid of the Lu family army, but he would not hand over military power or disband the Lu family army until the murderer was found.
He curled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery. It was ridiculous that the military power of the Lu family army was clearly promised by the late emperor, but now it was considered that he was planning a rebellion.
His Lu family is loyal to the core. If they wanted to rebel, why would they wait until now?
"I'll talk to her personally about this. Don't touch her things."

The next day, Jiang Yueyang stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and noticed at a glance that the Duke of England still did not attend the morning court today.
[I wonder if the British prince knelt on a durian yesterday?]
System: [Kneel down.]
[Then I really can't attend the morning court.]
Emperor Yuan had just sat down when he heard this conversation. Thinking of the thorny thing, he subconsciously shrank back.
Early this morning, the Duchess of England had durian delivered to the palace.
He and the queen looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so they thought of calling the Minister of Agriculture over to take a look after the morning court.
"If you have a document, please proceed with your report. If you don't, please leave the court." Li Fuquan shouted as usual.
General Zhang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the weapons are almost ready. We can march to Chishui at any time."
Emperor Yuan nodded: "Lord Yang."
Yang Jianzheng, the Imperial Observatory, stepped out and said, "I am here."
"Choose an auspicious day to assemble the troops and march out."
"The minister obeys the order."
A general came out carelessly, "Your Majesty, the autumn weather is clear and crisp, it's the perfect time for autumn hunting..."
Jiang Yueyang saw that all his colleagues were eager to try, and sighed helplessly. Today was another long morning court session.
