d the remaining four taels of silver and gave the blacksmith five more taels. "I need another set of these knives," she said, "Could you please make me another set, master"The blacksmith immediately b...Anya's pretentious voice instantly gave An Xue Tang goosebumps. Thankfully, she hadn't just finished eating or else she would have vomited.

This woman... is she here specifically to disgust them

An Xuetang couldn't stand it anymore, let alone Mo Yunjing. Mo Yunjing's eyes became even colder, and he frowned, glancing at Yun Si, "Throw this out for me."

Yun Si immediately bowed, "Yes."

Before the cloud could even call for someone, An Jiaxin quickly scrambled to her feet, looking rather comical.

Her eyes were red and watery, she looked at Mo Yunjing pitifully, "King of Beijang, I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall. It's just...just..."

Moe Yunjing's killing intent flashed in his eyes, while An Xue Tang beside him forced down the urge to vomit and shook her head slightly with a groan.

Originally, white lotuses and green teas... these kinds of people... don't differentiate between dynasties or eras.

Yun Si had already called over two people. He directly ordered the two to lift An Jiaxin up.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yan'er instantly came to her senses. An Jiaxin was her precious daughter, who would certainly be able to rule the harem in the future. How dare these lowly people lay a hand on her

"Get out of the way, what are you doing!"

Liu Yan'er rushed forward with her hands, wanting to pull apart the two men who were holding An Jiaxin.

An Jiaxin had already 'pitifully' shed two lines of tears, looking at Mo Yunjing, "North Frontier King... Have you misunderstood Xin'er"

“...”

An Xuetang cleared her throat, and suddenly changed her voice, saying, "You let her go first."

The two of them didn't know whether to listen to 'Tang Bai', they subconsciously looked at Mo Yun Jing.

Mo Yunjing glanced at An Xue Tang and nodded slightly.

With Mo Yunjing's consent, the two immediately let go of An Jiaxin and silently retreated to the side with their heads down.

After An Nánlín entered with Mó Yúnjǐng and 'Táng Bái,' he had been observing the woman named 'Táng Bái.'

This is not An Xuetang, yet she dares to sit equal with King Beijiang. Especially now, seeing King Beijiang looking at the woman with such a doting gaze, Annanlin's heart rises with unease.

Could it be that An Xuetang has fallen out of favor

He didn't originally know what Liu Yan'er was bringing An Jiaxin for, but after An Jiaxin's series of actions, he couldn't pretend not to know.

He wanted to scold An Jiaxin, but seeing the woman beside King Beijang, he suddenly decided that since King Beijang was destined to favor women other than An Xuetang, wouldn't it be better to have him favor his other daughter, An Jiaxin

Thinking this way, Ann Nanlin took a step forward and tugged at An Jixin's clothes, motioning for her to be quiet.

And he bowed to Mo Yunjing, saying, "Your Highness King of the Northern Border, it is all my fault for not teaching her well. My daughter has been too willful, but normally she isn't like this. From a young age, she has been well-educated, obedient, and considerate. She is also skilled in everything: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"Today she was only slightly unwell, so her strength failed, and she accidentally fell. I beg the King of Beijang not to blame her for this. If the King insists on punishment, then punish me instead."

An Xuetang sneered in her heart, so what did An Nalin want to do Praising his daughter so much in front of the King of Beijiang

The purpose is so obvious, hmph! This is preparing to put An Jiaxin into the Beijang Royal Manor

At this moment, Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang exchanged glances. A hint of cunning flashed in An Xuetang's eyes as she winked at Mo Yunjing.

Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at An Nalin with a cold face, "So is An Shilang preparing to take the punishment for his own daughter"

An Nanlin was taken aback. He had only said those words out of politeness, expecting Mo Yunjing to give him some face and not hold An Jixin's previous inappropriate behavior against her.

Who would have thought, Mo Yunjing would actually retort with such a sentence.

His expression stiffened slightly, but he still nodded with gritted teeth and said, "Yes, if His Royal Highness the King of Beijang insists on punishment, I am willing to take my daughter's place."

"Okay."

Mo Yunjing let out a cold snort and looked at Yun Si, "Punish An Shi Lang, thirty lashes."

"Yes."

"Wait, wait!" Liu Yaner saw them about to make a move and quickly stepped in front of Annanlin, "You...you can't do this."

Yun Si furrowed his brows, "Mrs. Liu, please do not interfere with our execution of the order."

Liu Yaner glared at Yun Si. In her eyes, Yun Si was nothing more than a servant of the Beijang Royal Manor, a steward. To her, Yun Si's status was like that of a dog; she didn't take him seriously at all.

She gave Yun Si a withering glance and then turned to Mo Yun Jing, “King of Beijiang, punishing people so casually, I'm afraid that's not good, is it”

Mo Yunjing was too lazy to waste words with this kind of person. He had originally wanted Yun Si to drag them all down and fight together. At this moment, An Xuetang reached out and grabbed his arm.

He turned his head to look at An Xue Tang, who smirked and gave him a calm look.

An Xue Tang smiled faintly at Liu Yan'er, this was the first time she had met her. She had heard some stories about her before, this woman wasn't a pushover.

"Madam Liu, I wonder where you drew the conclusion that a 'casual punishment' is appropriate"

Liu Yan'er glared at her fiercely, "Who are you You have no right to speak here."

Mo Yunjing blackened his face, "Yun Si, slap your mouth!"

Yun Si'er didn't say a word, walking past Liu Yan'er and the others before they could react. He raised his hand and slapped Liu Yan'er hard.

"Liu Yan'er cried out, covering her face and staring at Yun Si in disbelief. "You... you actually dared to hit me You lowly brute! How dare you hit me!"

Mo Yunjing's eyes were as deep and cold as an abyss, and he said coldly, "Continue."

Yun Si er didn't speak, he pulled Liu Yan er's hand with one hand and harshly bound her two hands together. His other hand continued to slap Liu Yan er.

After slapping her ten times or so, An Xue Tang saw that Liu Yan'er's cheeks were already swollen like a pig's head and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. Only then did she speak languidly, "Yun Si, that's enough."

Yun Si, knowing 'Tang Bai's' true identity, immediately let go of Liu Yan'er upon hearing this.

Liu Yan'er went limp and collapsed to the ground after he let go of her. She was about to burst into tears, but An Xuetang suddenly said:

"The King of the Northern Frontier is most vexed by people crying and wailing before him. If he wasn't to continue being slapped, those mouths that should be shut ought to learn to do so properly."

Indeed, Liu Yan'er heard An Xue Tang's 'snide' remarks and instantly shut her mouth.

She had tears in her eyes, but there was a hint of unwillingness. An Xuetang glanced at her indifferently, then got up and walked towards her step by step, staring down at her condescendingly.

"Just now you asked me what qualifications I had to speak with you. I particularly want to know, if someone like me can sit on equal footing with the King of Beijiang, do you think I have the right"

And who do you think you are You're just a lowly daughter of the Minister's family. What guts do you have to be so insolent in the Prince of Beijiang's mansion What courage do you have to question the Prince of Beijiang's decisionsf to put these messy things aside first.Right now, what she cares about most is her nephew Ah Jing's health.Thinking about this, An Xuetang returned to the bed and pulled back the quilt, starting to c...
