Chapter 76: The Whip
Xiao Si was immersed in the joy of carefully experiencing love between a man and a woman, completely unaware that danger was getting closer and closer.
When he had finished being an "inner pet" and was humming a little tune on his way back to the guards' quarters, he found the atmosphere in the room was grim. Xiao Er and Xiao San were standing side-by-side, being lectured by Xiao Yi, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Fourth Brother is still young. You tricked him into going to the Young Miss's room. If something really happened, could you take responsibility?" The exasperated voice belonged to Xiao Yi.
"Fourth Brother isn't that young..." Xiao San muttered. "Besides, even if something did happen, it's not like he'd be the one losing out."
"Gotten brave, have you! You've got a lot of twisted logic. What do you mean, 'not that young'? Just because he's not young, he can do shameless things? And you still have the nerve to say 'it's not like he'd be the one losing out'? Don't you know the Young Miss is engaged? Are you all tired of living? Stealing His Highness the Crown Prince's woman..."
"Leader, I never stole anyone." Xiao San retorted, aggrieved. He was truly being wronged! It was common knowledge that Xiao Er was the Young Miss's 'inner pet'. There were rumors that Xiao Yi and the Young Miss had a 'romantic affair' in the bathroom. Even Xiao Si had been tricked by him into slipping into the Young Miss's room... whether he 'stole' or not wasn't clear. But he, Xiao San, was the only one who was innocent, who didn't have the slightest improper thought about the Young Miss!
"You dare to talk back?" Xiao Yi got even angrier when he heard him talk back.
He saw his brothers, one by one, shamelessly climbing into that shameless woman's bed, and he was so angry he pulled out the rattan whip, intending to teach them a good lesson.
"Leader, wait!" The moment Xiao Si heard the swish of the rattan whip, he was so scared he quickly revealed himself and slipped into the room. He blocked Xiao San, and said, full of loyalty, "Leader, it's my fault! I was the one who was wrong, I... I slipped into the Young Miss's room... and slept with the Young Miss... If you're going to hit someone, hit me! It has nothing to do with Third Brother! I'm the one who slept with her!"
"I'll hit you all! Not a single one of you will be spared!"
Xiao Yi's whip... pah pah... struck both of them. But neither Xiao San nor Xiao Si even flinched. They took it.
Xiao Er had also slept with the Young Miss, and more than once. He knelt on the ground. "Leader, if you feel that... liking the Young Miss, and... sleeping with the Young Miss... deserves punishment, then... you should hit me too."
"Well, you lot! You really are!" Xiao Yi's stomach hurt from anger. "For one woman, you're all rebelling?"
As Xiao Yi's second whip fell, a maidservant from the Young Miss's room, who had come out to relieve herself, happened to pass by the guards' quarters. She heard the pah pah of the whip inside, and, curious, she hid outside the window and listened for a while. She covered her mouth in shock and ran back to the Young Miss's room to get help.
Sun Jiaojiao, after hearing the little maidservant's report, wasn't anxious. Instead, she held her teacup with the attitude of someone watching a show, and joked, "Someone on the 'web' once asked a question. They said, if... Li Yifeng and Zhang Yixing... fought over you and it hurt their relationship, what would you do? What can you do? You just have to coax them all. You can't possibly... bear to choose only one man and keep him, right?"
The little maidservant was completely confused. "Young Miss, what is the 'web'? Who is Li Yifeng? And who is Zhang Yixing?"
Sun Jiaojiao finished her tea, put down the cup, and sighed. "Them... ah, they are... top-tier men that your Young Miss... can never even dream of in this lifetime. Let's go. Let's go see what's happening in the guards' quarters!"
The little maidservant was even more confused...
In her eyes, the guard brothers protecting the Young Miss in the residence... were top-tier men. These... Li Yifeng and Zhang Yixing... could they be even more handsome than the four 'Brother Xiaos'? She didn't believe it!
Sun Jiaojiao strolled unhurriedly to the outside of the guards' quarters. She heard the voice inside... it was indeed that 'macho man' Xiao Yi, whipping and cursing at the same time. And as he was cursing, he just so happened to curse her. Her face instantly darkened, and she was no longer as calm as before. She burst into the room and started cursing at Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, you watch your mouth! What do you mean, 'slutty woman'?"
The moment Xiao Yi saw Sun Jiaojiao, his back straightened. "You are engaged to the Crown Prince, yet you... you do shameless, disgraceful things with the guards. If you're not a 'slutty woman', are you... a 'chaste and virtuous' one?"
Sun Jiaojiao was not some... weak woman who was easy to bully. She let out a cold "Hmph!" and said, "Yes, I did do shameless, disgraceful things with the guards. But... haven't you done it with me, too? Why don't you... hit yourself as well?"
Xiao Yi froze.
He didn't think... that being drugged and then copulating with Sun Jiaojiao... was his fault.
But now that Sun Jiaojiao had brought it up... it made him lose a lot of face. Without a second word, he immediately lashed his own back hard with the whip. With a crisp crack, his back split open, leaving a ferocious, terrifying wound.
Sun Jiaojiao jumped in fright. This man... was he that violent?
What if he beat all her handsome little guard brothers to death?
Before Xiao Yi could whip himself again, Sun Jiaojiao immediately rushed in front of him to snatch the whip.
"Young Miss, be careful!"
"Young Miss, watch out!"
Two voices rang out at the same time!
