Chapter 410 Tooth for Tooth
He was shaking with anger. "You, you are just making up excuses. You are disrespectful and unfilial. I really regret raising you to this age!"
"If I had known you would become like this, I shouldn't have been so tolerant of you. I should have beaten you up every day and let you go hungry. You know who is working hard to keep you alive."
Wu Jinxi never expected that one day he would be taught a lesson by this money-losing guy whom he despised the most!
If Ji Yuntang's face hadn't been so ugly that no one wanted her, he would have sold her to a brothel to serve clients. How could she be standing here and talking to him now?
Now that she has become a princess, not only is she not grateful for the upbringing of her adoptive father, she also orders him to do hard labor. This Ji Yuntang is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
Ji Yuntang listened to him scolding without getting angry at all.
Because in her memory, such scolding was the lightest. What she remembered more was that Wu Jinxi got drunk and beat her up.
When he got drunk, he really didn't care about his relatives. Sometimes even Chen Huaxiu had to stay away from him to avoid being hurt by him accidentally.
Ji Yuntang was too disdainful to argue with Wu Jinxi any further. Compared with what the other party had endured, what was nothing compared to what the original owner had endured.
She glanced at the other person and immediately put on the airs of a princess.
"I am the princess, and you, my foster father, are just a commoner. I may not care about your words, but you, my foster father, still need to be careful."
"After all, if someone hears you insulting the royal family, you will be beheaded."
As she spoke, she made a gesture of slashing her throat with a knife.
Wu Jin's face turned green with joy, "Ji Yuntang, you dare to threaten me?"
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, "You are wrong, this is not a threat, but an order."
"I now order you, foster father, to finish chopping the firewood. When you finish chopping the firewood, you can go to the dining hall to eat. Otherwise, you will go hungry at night!"
The firewood in front of him was less than one percent of what he had carried down the mountain.
At first, she couldn't chop all the wood, so not only did she go hungry, but even sleeping became a luxury.
She is just using his own method to retaliate, and Wu Jinxi can't stand it?
How ridiculous!
Ji Yuntang left after making the arrangements. As soon as she left, Wu Jinxi threw away the axe.
He found a stool and sat down, cursing, "I won't chop today, what can you do to me?"
"Return the princess, bah!"
After spitting, he felt something cold on his neck.
Leng Yan appeared silently behind Wu Jinxi, and his voice without warmth rang out.
"Our princess said that if you don't chop wood, I will let my subordinates chop you with knives."
"I'll chop you down or chop you down. You can choose one!"
The sharp blade grazed Wu Jinxi's neck, and he was so frightened that he dared not move.
"Chopping wood, I choose chopping wood, you hold the knife farther away."
Leng Yan put away the knife and said coldly: "I advise you not to try any tricks. I will keep an eye on you."
After saying this, he disappeared into the darkness as quietly as he had come.
Wu Jinxi was stunned. So, this was the legendary secret guard?
How could a secret guard with such high martial arts skills listen to that idiot Ji Yuntang?
He cursed Ji Yuntang countless times in his heart, and finally he could only reluctantly pick up the axe and start chopping wood.
When Ji Yuntang arrived at the West Garden, he saw Chen Huaxiu standing at the gate of the outer courtyard, arguing with Taozhi.
The two of them had red faces and were arguing fiercely.
Chen Huaxiu put one hand on her waist, looking like a shrew and hooligan, pointing at Taozhi's nose and cursing.
"You are just a young maid, and you don't even know your own status. You dare to order me around. Do you know who I am?"
Taozhi said, "I don't care who you are. This is our princess' order. I want you to take care of our prince. If you don't do as I say, I won't be able to report to the princess."
Chen Hua's delicate chest rose and fell, "I am the mother of your princess and your prince. How can a mother-in-law take care of her son-in-law?"
Taozhi rolled her eyes. "You came uninvited and stayed at someone's house. What's wrong with helping to take care of someone?"
Chen Huaxiu pursed her lips, thinking of the scene she had just seen, she said with disgust: "Is your prince still a human being?
"His face is already so rotten, I think it would be better to just give him a bowl of poison and let him die. This way he can die early and be reborn sooner."
Taozhi was furious, "How dare you curse our prince?"
At this time, Ji Yuntang came over and asked, "What happened?"
The two of them were silent. Ji Yuntang looked at Taozhi and said, "Taozhi, you speak."
"Princess, ask Chen to get some water and go wipe the prince's hands and face, but as soon as she came in, she started yelling that the prince was a ghost and even knocked over the basin."
"When I argued with her, she said that she was your mother and the prince's mother-in-law, and that the prince was dying and shouldn't be asked to serve him. She was afraid of being infected with bad luck, and she even cursed the prince to die."
As Taozhi spoke, her eyes turned red and she looked as if she had suffered a lot of injustice.
Ji Yuntang praised Taozhi in her heart, her acting skills improved so rapidly that even she was almost fooled!
This Chen Huaxiu is really courting death!
Her eyes flickered, and she turned to look at Chen Huaxiu, and asked in an unclear tone: "Adoptive mother, did you really say these words?"
Chen Huaxiu kept silent.
Ji Yuntang continued: "I treat you as my mother and as my own family, but I didn't expect you to curse my husband to death?"
"You know, every piece of land you step on and every breath of air you breathe belongs to the Night Palace and my husband."
"In theory, you should pay my husband for his life, because without land you will die, and without air you will also die."
"And the reason you are able to stand here alive is the gift from the Night King's Mansion to you. You should be grateful to us."
Chen Huaxiu: "..."
Chen Huaxiu: "!!!"
As she listened to what Ji Yuntang said, she felt it sounded more and more familiar.
Isn’t this what she said to Ji Yuntang at the beginning?
She remembered that she said this at first.
"You're a money loser. Do you know that every inch of land you step on and every breath of air you breathe belong to our Wu family? It is our Wu family that allowed you to survive."
"Logically speaking, you should pay our Wu family for the life extension money, because if people don't stand on the ground, they will be buried in the ground. If you don't breathe the air of our Wu family, you will die."
"The reason you are still alive and well is because our Wu family has given you a great gift. You should be grateful to our entire family."
