Chapter 14: I Am the Rule
An Yueli deliberately didn't send anyone to notify her in advance when she came back this time, and she didn't even go through the main entrance.
Ever since her mother Jiang Qinglan suffered from hysteria, Duke An Guo ruthlessly drove her to live in Beiyuan, the most remote place in the house.
The original owner felt sorry for his mother and asked himself to go to Beiyuan to take care of her.
Yue and An Yurou effortlessly occupied the main courtyard that originally belonged to them.
"Princess, do you really want to enter through this corner door?"
Zhuiyue looked at this old and shabby little door that could only accommodate one person. He was shocked and disgusted. After all, Prince Xiao's mansion was rich and powerful, and even a dog cave was more impressive than this.
An Yueli raised her eyelids and took a deep look at the corner door in front of her.
The stepmother Yue treated them harshly in life. In order to buy medicine for Mrs. Jiang, "she" could only stay up all day and night to embroider and sneak out through this corner door to exchange for some money.
"This is the small gate closest to Beiyuan. If you go in from here, you won't disturb the front yard."
Seeing her solemn expression, Huansha quietly shook her head at Zhuiyue.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. An Yueli had a bad reputation in the past, and I am afraid her life at home will not be easy either. This time she returned home, and it was clear that she had an ulterior motive.
There was no need for servants to report, and there was no need to put on any airs. An Yueli directly stepped forward and pushed open the corner door.
Huansha and others followed her into Anguo Palace and arrived at Beiyuan within two steps.
"This is the courtyard where the princess lives?"
Although Huansha was the calmest of the three maids, she was also shocked by the scene in front of her.
I saw that Beiyuan was very desolate, with neither carved beams or painted buildings nor flat avenues.
The only path leading in and out was cracked and rugged with green bricks, and lush weeds grew in the gaps. Not even the servants sweeping the place could see a single one.
An Yueli looked around and was not surprised.
When the Yue family squeezed their mother and daughter here, only the maid Fu Yan followed. In addition to Beiyuan's rough envoys Zhou Pozi and Uncle Zhao, there was no one else.
Now that she is married to Prince Xiao, the Yue family will definitely seize the opportunity to teach Mrs. Jiang, and it is not surprising to evacuate Mrs. Zhou and Uncle Zhao.
"Follow up."
An Yueli said lightly and walked to the main house first.
In fact, there is only one entrance to Beiyuan Garden, and you can see all the buildings from the moment you step through the gate.
There was no one around except cicadas on the trees, neighing against the scorching sun.
An Yueli suddenly stopped and turned her cheek slightly. She just heard a faint cry, which seemed to come from the main house.
"ah--!"
"No, don't hit."
"Yueli, Yueli..."
Hearing a familiar voice calling her name, the blood on An Yueli's face suddenly drained away, the muscles all over her body were tense to the extreme, and blood surged up from the soles of her feet.
"Mother!"
With a low cry, An Yueli ran towards the main house.
Huansha and others looked at each other and realized something was wrong, so they also chased after them.
An Yueli arrived quickly and found that the door was locked from the inside, so she took a full breath and kicked it.
Bang——!
The door burst open with a loud noise, revealing the scene inside the house.
I saw a middle-aged woman huddled on the ground holding her head, with messy hair and disheveled clothes. Her whole body was covered with whip marks, and her forehead and corners of her mouth were also covered with bruises and scratches.
This person is none other than An Yueli’s biological mother, Jiang Qinglan!
The person who raped her had a leather whip in his hand. Perhaps he was tired from the beating just now. When An Yueli broke the door, she was panting with her hands on her hips.
If you look closely, you will see that he is also an acquaintance.
Sunlight broke through the darkness and poured into the room. Grandma Zou was blinded by the strong light and opened her mouth to scold her.
"Who doesn't know the rules so much? Didn't you see that I'm doing something? Get out of here!"
An Yueli looked against the sunlight, her whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of luxurious golden armor. Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she revealed her murderous aura without any concealment.
"Rules? I am the rules."
As she spoke, An Yueli moved lightly and arrived in front of Aunt Zou in the blink of an eye. She grabbed her wrist, twisted it, and snatched the whip away.
Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound, and the whip was struck firmly on Nanny Zou's face, and a wisp of blood spattered out along with the scream.
"ah!"
Aunt Zou spun around and fell heavily to the ground, hitting her forehead on the ground and making her dizzy.
When Huan Sha and others caught up, what they saw was the scene of An Yueli personally disposing of the evil slave.
"princess?"
Hearing this call, Grandma Zou came back to her senses. She raised her head in horror and was caught off guard by An Yueli's clear and sharp eyes.
"An, An Yueli? Why are you back?"
"Mommy, I haven't repaid you for your kindness in giving me your wedding, so naturally I want to come back."
As she spoke, she raised her whip and flicked it in the air.
"Thank you so much, Aunt Zou, for beating me until I was half dead and forcing me into the sedan chair yesterday, so that I could have the opportunity to become Princess Xiao. Now I will return you a great gift that will benefit you for the rest of your life."
After she finished speaking, the whips fell like raindrops and hit Aunt Zou on the leg with precision.
How the other party tortured her in the beginning is now repaid tenfold and a hundredfold.
The anger in An Yueli's chest grew stronger and stronger. She knew that this was the original person venting out the resentment that had been accumulated for several years.
The real An Yueli was cautious and tried her best to protect her mother, but in the end she died under the whip of Granny Zou.
Now that she has inherited this body, she has the obligation and responsibility to avenge her original body!
An Yueli used enough force every time she struck, and she was an excellent doctor and had developed a precise touch. Therefore, the whip always landed near the same wound intentionally or unintentionally, and the blows left Granny Zou's skin and flesh raw.
Screaming repeatedly.
At first Caiyun wanted to stop her, but Huansha persuaded her to stop.
"This is the princess's family affairs, we must not interfere. Besides, didn't you hear, this evil slave dared to hurt the princess. Even if she doesn't suffer now, the prince will never let her go if he knows about it."
Caiyun thought of how close An Yueli and Su Huaixiao were this morning, so she cautiously stepped back.
Huan Sha is an old man from Prince Xiao's Mansion and has a lot of experience. In fact, when Su Huaixiao asked them to follow An Yueli back to Prince An's Mansion, they had guessed that this scene would happen.
While An Yueli was venting her anger, she silently closed the door and took Zhuiyue and Caiyun to take the injured Mrs. Jiang back to the back room to settle down.
It wasn't until he found out that Nanny Zou had been beaten that she fainted that she reminded him softly.
"Princess, Mrs. Jiang doesn't look good. Come and have a look."
Hearing this, An Yueli paused, and after confirming that Nanny Zou was unable to move, she threw the whip away casually.
In the bedroom, Zhuiyue and Caiyun had taken off their torn clothes, revealing old and new, deep and shallow whip marks on their bodies.
Seeing these wounds, An Yueli's eyes immediately turned red.
"Mother, I'm back."
