1005. The Banquet (2) - Punishing the Shrew (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

For a mischievous little woman, Ling Jingxuan had intended to give her a warning, but this Fan Changyun even went further, then don't blame him for not showing her any face!

The deliberate pause aroused many people's curiosity. Ling Jingxuan slowly adjusted his sleeves, and the moment he lifted his eyes, he said coldly, "Anyway, I am Highness Sheng's first wife. How dare you, such a shrew, insult me like that? Yan Si!"

"I'm here!"

"What is the accusation of insulting the crown princess? Tell Miss Fan."

Ling Jingxuan, who was wearing a faint smile just now, gave people a terrifying feeling now. Yan Si, who was called out, turned around respectfully and said with a straight face, "Anyone who insults the imperial family, the light one is 80 spanks, and the heavy one will be beheaded.

However, you are not only Crown Princess Sheng, but also the father of the current emperor. The insulter is doubly guilty!"

Before coming, they would never have thought that a woman from such a remote and impoverished place would dare insult Ling Jingxuan. All in all, was it that they had been used to being the local despot for too long and didn't take the imperial family in their eyes or Fan Changyun herself was a stupid one? Or maybe both? Although Fan Rong tried to stop her, he only tried to stop her after she finishing speaking every time. If he really had the heart to stop her, how could it be like this?

"Very good. Thunder Force! Tie Miss Fan up and send him to the yamen. Ling Yun, you go with them. Tell the magistrate word by word how Fan Changyun offended me. Ask him to hear the case and allow the civilians to watch. Decree the punishment following the laws!"

With Ling Jingxuan's order, the named Thunder Force rushed in with rifles in their arms, and Ling Yun also stood out. Finally, everyone knew that he was serious and couldn't help but make away. Fan Changyun, who had finally reacted, still tried to arugue, "How dare you?"

"Slap her in the face!"

"Yes!"

"Pia...pia..."

"Ah..."

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Ling Jingxuan threw a cold glance at her. One of Thunder Force threw his rifle behind his back and stepped forward with a fierce slap, then another, and after several slaps, Fan Changyun's entire face swelled up, unable to speak clearly. Ling Jingxuan took two steps forward and stood in front of Fan Rong, "Fan Rong, I have given you face to your Fan family and kept tolerating your daughter's ignorance. Since you Fan family doesn't want face yourself, I also don't need to show courtesy now. Someone! Take her away!"

"Yes!"

"No... dad, mom... save me... crying..."

As the words fell, the Thunder Force lifted her up on both sides. Fan Changyun was really scared, with a red and swollen face, crying for help. Fan Rong, under Ling Jingxuan's gaze, looked away in fear and dare not speak for her at all. Instead, a woman in her thirties stood out and knelt down in front of Ling Jingxuan.

"My crown princess, please show mercy. It's my fault for not disciplining her well. Please spare her for the sake that she is still young and ignorant."

The woman was no one else but the first wife of the Fan family, the biological mother of Fan Changyun, and stepmother of Fan Changle.

Trying to beg for mercy only now? Why had she been before?

"She is seventeen and you said she is still young? It seems that you really don't know how to discipline your children. Then let me help you discipline her! Take her away! Kill anyone who tries to stand in the way!"
