Chapter 308
Hearing this, Moyu frowned. He did not understand where First Madam Zhou got the confidence to think that the Zhou family could be more powerful than Prince An.
Or did she think that just because the Heir came to stay at the Zhou family for a short while, she could lord over him?
Was she really so arrogant that she even looked down on the Prince?
"Madam Zhou, could it be that you want to challenge the authority of our Prince?" Moyu looked at Lady Qin with a mix of anger and mockery.
He really didn't know where the Zhou family got their confidence.
"Does this madam need a servant like you to teach me what to do? Today, let alone teaching you wicked servants a lesson, even if I beat you to death, no one would dare say I am wrong. Your Heir has already been swept out of the house. Don't tell me you think you are still in Prince An's Manor?" Lady Qin looked at Moyu, her eyes full of ridicule.
She had heard about today's matters; Prince An didn't want this little brat anymore, which was why he was sent back to their Zhou family.
Thinking about how Xu Qingshi had beaten her own son so ruthlessly today, how could she be satisfied if she didn't avenge this?
"Your Prince is about to marry a new Princess Consort. When that time comes, how many children could Prince An not have? Your Heir is just a burden that Prince An discarded long ago. Otherwise, why would you be in the Zhou family right now? It's because your Heir and all of you are nothing but abandoned pawns that Prince An's Manor no longer wants," Lady Qin said with a smug look.
"Impossible! My Prince will definitely bring the Heir back. If you dare to hurt my Heir in the slightest, my Prince will never let you off!" Moyu stared at Lady Qin with bloodshot eyes, secretly terrified that what she said might be true.
At the same time, he was furious that she dared to speak of the Heir this way.
Moreover, the Prince doted on the Heir so much; how could he just abandon him like that?
Miss Li also cared deeply for the Heir. All of this must be fake.
Having thought this through, Moyu let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
He silently repeated to himself that everything she said was a lie.
"I will be waiting for your Prince to come and settle the score with me. Just don't let it be that your little life is gone, and your Prince is still nowhere to be seen! What are you all still standing around for? Hurry up and do it! Once you're done beating them, send them straight to the authorities. Don't let them die in our Zhou family and dirty our ground!" Lady Qin displeasedly scolded the servants beside her who hadn't made a move yet.
Moyu never expected Lady Qin to be so merciless. Furthermore, looking at her posture, she truly intended to take action against them.
Thirty heavy paddle strikes. If he and Ru Feng endured these thirty strikes, they would likely only be left waiting for death in this Zhou family. Not to mention, she even wanted to find an unwarranted charge to send them to the authorities.
What a vicious heart!
"You are not our master, you have no right to beat us! Our contracts of servitude are still at Prince An's Manor!" Seeing that they were actually going to do it, Ru Feng was frightened and quickly shouted loudly.
"That's right, you are not our master, you have no right to punish us!" Remembering this point, Moyu also hurriedly added.
Hearing this, Lady Qin's face darkened. She hadn't expected that she wouldn't even be able to deal with two servants from Prince An's Manor.
Wasn't this a slap to her face?
Thinking of this, Lady Qin looked at the two of them mockingly, and then enunciated word by word: "What are you still standing there for? Today, I want to see if I can deal with you or not! So what if your contracts aren't with me? Today, not only will I beat you, but I will also sell you both off!" After Lady Qin finished speaking, she smiled smugly. They were just two guilty slaves, after all.
She refused to believe she couldn't handle them.
That little brat Xu Qingshi, she would take care of him in the exact same way.
To save him from remaining here and being an eyesore to her.
Hearing this, Moyu tried to struggle. He had to hurry back and tell the Heir, so the Heir could quickly leave this Zhou family.
However, the Zhou family's servants held Moyu down firmly, rendering him completely immobile.
"Brother Moyu, this Madam Zhou is a lunatic. Is she really going to sell us off?" Ru Feng looked at Moyu with some fear and asked.
"She has no right to sell us. Our contracts are not in her hands," Moyu said very firmly.
"Are you sure? Prince An sent your Heir to my Zhou family, would he not send the contracts of you few servants along as well?" At this time, Lady Qin actually thought that Prince An might have stirred up some trouble and was about to be condemned.
She merely wanted the contracts of a few servants; how could Prince An be unwilling to give them?
Even if Prince An hadn't committed any crime, he was still about to marry a new Princess Consort. She didn't believe that the new Princess Consort would like Xu Qingshi, the little brat born to the previous Princess Consort. She was probably itching to get rid of him so that the children she gave birth to in the future could inherit the manor.
Thinking of this, Lady Qin became even more unbridled.
Just abandoned pawns of Prince An's Manor.
In the future, whatever she wanted him to do, he would have to obediently listen to her.
As for these disobedient slaves, she had plenty of ways to discipline them.
When Qingyuan came looking for them, he saw Lady Qin ordering people to beat Moyu and Ru Feng with paddles.
"What are you doing?" Qingyuan stepped forward angrily and questioned!
He believed Moyu was not the type of person to break the rules.
He had just come properly to fetch some food for the Heir, how did it escalate to the point of getting beaten with paddles?
"Oh, here comes another one! Does Prince An's Manor treat my place as a refugee shelter? Stuffing so many servants over here?" Thinking of this, Lady Qin felt angry inside. That little beast who had a mother to give birth to him but no mother to raise him, what right did he have to have so many servants by his side?
Just because he was reincarnated well?
Thinking of this, the jealousy in Lady Qin's heart grew heavier.
"Madam Zhou, Moyu and Ru Feng are people of Prince An's Manor. Even if you want to do something to them, it should be decided by Prince An!" Qingyuan reprimanded with dissatisfaction.
"Qingyuan, hurry and take the Heir away from here. This woman is a lunatic, she wants to kill the Heir!" Moyu hurriedly shouted at Qingyuan.
It didn't matter if he suffered some injuries, but absolutely nothing could happen to the Heir.
If they continued to stay in this Zhou family, the Heir would definitely not meet a good end.
"Why haven't you taken him down as well?" At this moment, Lady Qin only regarded Qingyuan as an ordinary servant too.
With just one command from her, her people could take him down.
However, Qingyuan was a hidden guard. He didn't put these domestic servants of the Zhou family in his eyes at all.
"Go to Tingyun Courtyard and grab that little beast over here. I refuse to believe they will still dare to run then!" Lady Qin said displeasedly, seeing that the servants hadn't been able to catch Xu Qingshi for a long time.
As long as Xu Qingshi was caught, Lady Qin felt that these servants wouldn't dare to escape anymore.
"Qingyuan, quickly go protect the Heir!" Just as Moyu finished speaking, a stick landed heavily on his body.
Moyu gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan.
At this moment, he only prayed in his heart that the Heir must be safe.
Qingyuan looked at Moyu who was being beaten with sticks, and then looked at the few servants heading toward Tingyun Courtyard. Unable to care about anything else, he hurriedly returned to Tingyun Courtyard to protect Xu Qingshi first.
When Qing Chuan rushed to the Zhou family, he saw Lady Qin acting high and mighty, directing the servants to beat Moyu and Ru Feng with paddles.
