Chapter 512: Really Ruthless(5)_1
"Leave and receive fifty strokes of the stick," Chu Suifeng commanded in anger. "Every person who came here is to be confined for three months and forfeit two months’ silver allowance."
"No, Prince. You can’t cut off my tongue, you can’t break my hand. Please, I did everything for your sake, everything out of loyalty for you," Lady Qin wept desperately, wishing to rush over and plead for mercy from Chu Suifeng.
Chu Suifeng maintained his cold and stern face, completely unmoved.
This time, it wasn’t just the old maids that came. It was Conger and Congsan.
The Prince’s personal guards took action, proving that the Prince wasn’t bluffing. Now, Lady Qin truly regretted her actions and was filled with fear.
No one dared to question Chu Suifeng’s orders at this point. All the women present felt extremely fortunate that they hadn’t said anything too harsh.
"Lin Ziyin, you promised earlier, no matter what we said, you would ensure we wouldn’t be punished. You can’t lie," Lady Qin said, seeing Chu Suifeng’s reaction and realizing her appeal was futile.
Chu Suifeng has a heart of stone, she had let her jealousy cloud her judgement and started this argument.
Fearing the consequences of her regret, Lady Qin spotted Lin Ziyin looking bright and refreshed. Desperate, she shouted at Lin Ziyin, like she was her last straw.
