Chapter 1275 - 51: Debt of Joy (Part 27)_2
Mrs. Tang was so angry she wanted to get up and grab the feather duster.
Even if it was about helping Princess Yin Chuan eat less, that was still a matter for their little couple. In their courtyard, they could turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
But this wretch actually pinned the blame on them.
A newlywed wife, and a princess at that, not being allowed to eat enough—wouldn’t that make people laugh their heads off?
As soon as Mrs. Tang got up, Marquis Dongxiang pressed her back down.
Mrs. Tang looked at Marquis Dongxiang, who had already commanded, "Drag him down."
Su Yang, "...!!!"
As soon as Marquis Dongxiang spoke, two servants came in and carried Su Yang from his chair.
Su Yang dare not resist.
Although he was skilled in martial arts, he couldn’t fight against six, seven, eight, or even ten pairs of hands.
The more he resisted, the worse the beating he would get.
Princess Yin Chuan watched Su Yang being dragged away until Mrs. Tang’s voice caught her attention, "If he dares to bully you in the future, just tell mom."
Princess Yin Chuan nodded slightly.
Mrs. Tang pushed a piece of fish onto her plate and said, "Eat more. Even if you need to eat less, take it step by step, prioritizing your health."
Princess Yin Chuan was moved by Mrs. Tang’s genuine care and nodded strongly.
However, she didn’t truly let herself eat freely; she ate just half a bowl more than she used to in Beimo.
After finishing, they chatted for a while before heading back to her courtyard.
Halfway down the path, Su Yang, supported by a servant, walked over.
From a distance, Princess Yin Chuan almost didn’t recognize Su Yang.
Beaten black and blue, worse than when he got stung by bees two days ago.
The maids of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion were used to it, unfazed.
The few maids who had come from Beimo were shocked.
Really... did they beat him?
Su Yang grinned with his teeth as he touched the corner of his mouth, wanting Princess Yin Chuan to support him.
How could Princess Yin Chuan with her little strength support him?
Afraid of overwhelming Princess Yin Chuan, he could only use his own strength, but after the servant handed him over to Princess Yin Chuan, they left.
Su Yang limped back to the room, and Princess Yin Chuan wanted to call for an Imperial Physician.
Su Yang, ".... ."
"It’s just minor injuries, there’s no need for an Imperial Physician. Just help me apply some medicine," Su Yang said.
For such minor injuries, calling for an Imperial Physician.
A permanent Imperial Physician at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion wouldn’t have enough time.
There was ointment for bruises in the room, and a maid brought it over so Princess Yin Chuan could help Su Yang apply it.
Su Yang felt that Princess Yin Chuan wasn’t applying medicine, but rather sprinkling salt on his wounds.
Fearing the ointment wasn’t applied evenly, she applied it carefully and forcefully, causing Su Yang to question his existence.
"Did they really hit you?" Princess Yin Chuan’s voice floated.
Yes.
Princess Yin Chuan was applying it so forcefully because she suspected Su Yang’s injuries were fake.
Would parents really be so cruel to hit their son like this?
Though they hung Su Yang up on a tree the other day, they ultimately didn’t really hit him with a whip, instead leaving it up to her.
Princess Yin Chuan had grown up in the Beimo Palace; although the Beimo Empress’s status was stable, intrigue was inevitable in the harem.
Even just listening to gossip made her know quite a lot.
This feigned injury tactic was commonly used in the harem’s inner quarters.
Princess Yin Chuan looked at Su Yang’s eye corner, "It’s just a bit scratched."
She applied it gently, like a feather brushing past.
Su Yang felt a little dazed, "It’s fine, this ointment is specially made by my sister, it won’t leave scars."
Also, knowing it wouldn’t scar, the servants were even more unapologetic in their actions.
Su Yang, ".... ."
Princess Yin Chuan remembered Su Yang saying he was the only son in the family, yet without status—
He truly had little status.
But Su Yang deserved the beating, deceiving her!
Princess Yin Chuan felt a little annoyed but seeing Su Yang’s beaten face, she couldn’t help but feel sorry.
However, Princess Yin Chuan soon realized she was worrying unnecessarily.
Not even half an hour had passed, and Su Yang went from needing support to ready to go shopping.
"I’m fine now," Su Yang said.
"Weren’t you planning to go shopping? I’ll accompany you."
Princess Yin Chuan looked at him, "Are you okay to leave the mansion like this?"
Su Yang touched his face and said, "No problem, people on the streets are used to it."
Princess Yin Chuan, ".... ."
Princess Yin Chuan shook her head, refusing to go, but Su Yang pulled her out.
Upon reaching the bustling street, the vendors were all stunned.
The Second Young Master of East Town Marquis Mansion had just gotten married a couple of days ago, and within two days, he’s been beaten again?
The most worried were those noble family members.
They were the angriest with Su Yang being beaten.
No wonder, ten years ago, Prince NanAn and Marquis Jingguo sent their sons to train at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, including the Ninth Prince and Young Master Zhao, showing how trustworthy Marquis Dongxiang was when it came to educating his son.
