Side Story, Hu Yulin Jie 12
Ouyang Mingyue and Ouyang Mingzhu’s eyes were red. They sniffed and looked very pitiful.
“Doctor, can my sister and my face be cured?”
Ouyang Mingzhu had applied what Hu Yu had taught them. She looked extremely pitiful.
When Imperial Physician Wang saw this, he thought of his own daughter and his heart ached. It’s not difficult to remove the ink on your face, but it’s not easy to get rid of something else.”
Hu Yu pretended to stagger. Ming Zhu and Ming Yue, haven’t, haven’t gotten married yet…”
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue were also affected by Hu Yu’s emotions, and they started sobbing softly.
Imperial Physician Wang could not bear to see this, but he was also furious.” A woman’s face is so important. Who was so vicious as to harm the two ladies?” It’s like killing someone.”
Imperial Physician Wang was furious. He had come to treat the General’s wife and encountered such a thing. When he returned, he had reported it to the Emperor truthfully. However, how could he make up for it? If the two young ladies could not recover their looks, it would be ruined. It would be ruined for their entire lives.
Imperial Physician Wang glanced at Li Yi. The crown prince was here. If the general’s wife wanted justice, there seemed to be a way out.
Hu Yu’s eyes were red. She looked at Li Yi, then retracted her gaze to look at Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue. Her heart ached as she said,”Mingzhu, Mingyue, who is the one who treated you like this? Don’t be afraid. Tell Eldest Sister-in-law that she will fight for you even if she has to risk her life.”
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue cried as they shook their heads.
Hu Yu was crying her eyes out. She looked at Li Yi and said,”Your Highness, please uphold justice for us. General Ming’s body has not even turned cold, and someone has already humiliated his sister like this. How important is a woman’s appearance? I have broken General Ming’s blood oath. If no one stands up for us, we don’t know what to do…”
Li Yi looked at Hu Yu’s expression and his heart ached. He had seen women cry before, but he had never seen anyone cry so beautifully.
He didn’t feel annoyed at all. He just wanted to take good care of her.
If he helped her, he would be her benefactor. At that time, the wealth would be in his hands, and this beauty would also be in his arms. Although he could not give her a status, he wanted her to become his woman.
Li Yi took a deep breath and said,”Such a bad behavior naturally cannot be tolerated. Miss Ouyang, feel free to say it. Such a wicked woman should be severely punished.”
Hu Yu sobbed twice. When he looked at Ouyang Mingzhu, he winked playfully.
Ouyang Mingzhu closed her eyes when she heard Hu Yu’s words. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said,” Yes, it’s the Prime Minister’s daughter, Zhou Qianqian. She said that my sister and I are not worthy of going to school. She said that we don’t have any ink in our stomachs. Therefore, she pinched our mouths and wanted to pour ink into us…”
Ouyang Mingzhu’s heart was broken when she heard the humiliation she had suffered.
Because they came from the countryside, they had always been ostracized in school.
“This, this is simply too much! How can you be so vicious at such a young age!”
Imperial Physician Wang’s expression was filled with shock. People compared the knowledge they had learned to ink, and those who were not knowledgeable said that they did not have a drop of ink in their stomachs. That was because how much ink did a knowledgeable person need to achieve something?
However, knowledge came from seeing and hearing. How could he really drink ink?
Li Yi frowned. The prime minister was on his side and was of great use to him. Zhou Qianqian was still the daughter of the first wife. How could she not know the big picture? If it was just a small matter, it would be fine.
Hu Yu’s heart ached as he wiped away Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue’s tears.” Don’t be afraid. With His Highness the Crown Prince around, he will definitely seek justice for you. His Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the throne in the future. If such a vicious act were to be spread, it would be despised and detested. If one makes a mistake, they should be punished. There is justice in this world.”
After Hu Yu comforted him, he looked at Li Yi and asked,”Your Highness, you agree with what I said, right?”
Li Yi nodded.
How could he not say it? He was going to inherit the throne in the future. If there were such immoral people, they would definitely be severely punished. Otherwise, how could the dignity of the emperor and justice be established?
Since ancient times, many princes who had been raised wrongly ended up being expelled. If the emperor broke the law, he would be punished as well as the commoners. If the matter was so big that it could not be hidden well, then even the emperor could not do anything about it.
However, the prime minister was still the prime minister after all. Li Yi felt that the best way was to communicate with both sides. Hu Yu would settle the matter peacefully, and the prime minister would give some compensation and apology. This matter would be perfect. At that time, not only would he protect the prime minister, but he would also be indebted to the general’s manor.
Just as Li Yi was thinking about how to appease Hu Yu, he saw Hu Yu stand up and walk out. She only said one sentence,”Since His Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, if I let my two sisters swallow this matter and let it go, I’m not even worthy of being their eldest sister-in-law. Ming Zhu and Ming Yue, just you wait. Eldest sister-in-law will beat the drum to sound the injustice and seek justice for you!”
After Hu Yu finished speaking, he quickly left.
Li Yi immediately felt a headache coming on. He quickly chased after her, but all he saw was the fluttering corner of her clothes disappearing from his sight.
Li Yi was a little dumbfounded. Why was he walking so fast?
Hu Yu directly rushed to the Ministry of War. Outside the Ministry of War, there was a huge bronze drum, which was the Drum of Vengeance. When the drum sounded, it would go to the court, and when the drum sounded, one would have to endure at least 20 strokes of the cane before they could complain.
Twenty big slaps could split a person’s skin and flesh. This was to let the world know that not just anyone could beat the Drum of Wronging Injustice, nor could they beat it randomly. If you had any grievances, you could beat the drum to cry out, but before you opened your mouth, you had to pay the price for your outrageous behavior. After a beating, you could complain to the officials.
Hu Yu swung the drum hammer that was almost as big as her head and knocked it heavily. The sound was so loud that it made people tremble!
Li Yi’s expression changed. He rode his horse and chased after her, but he could not catch up to her no matter how hard he tried. She looked weak, but he could not catch up to her no matter how hard he tried. The sound of the Drum of Vengeance was destined to make this matter difficult to resolve.
Li Yi could not stop it. He could only watch as Hu Yu was dragged in and beaten up.
Hu Yu was crying, blocking the pain. In the eyes of others, he was too strong, which made their hearts ache. Minister of War Lian could not bear it anymore, but after the beating, he asked,” Who is it? Why are you beating the drum?”
Hu Yu replied weakly,” My wife, Chu Guanyu, is Ou Yangming Mingde’s wife. Today, we are beating the drum to voice out the grievances of her deceased husband and sister. We are going to sue the Prime Minister and his wife, as well as their daughter, Zhou Qianqian. We are accusing Zhou Qianqian of being vicious and using poison ink to stain her deceased husband and sister’s face, causing her face to be disfigured. General Ming’s body is still warm, so 1 hope that you will investigate this matter thoroughly..”
