TFWYH – Chapter 607  Yuan Yuan Protects Her

“No—Commandery Princess Rong’an, please show mercy! The young lady is just a fool, she truly meant no harm… stop… please stop…” Yuan Yuan pleaded as she tried to block them.

But she didn’t have Tang Wan’s strength—she was just a frail woman with no power to even truss a chicken. How could she possibly stand against a group of servants?

In no time, she was shoved aside.

Some bolder servants even took the chance to grope her.

Yuan Yuan burned with humiliation and anger, but she had no time to care—

because Huangfu Ronglan had already been dragged over, pinned to the ground by those wretched servants.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Rong’an sat calmly to the side and coldly ordered,

“Beat her. Beat her hard.”

The servants hurried to obey.

Huangfu Ronglan burst into terrified sobs, struggling desperately—but it was useless. Several servants held her down tightly; she couldn’t break free.

When the first blow of the board landed on her, she screamed in agony, crying miserably,

“Father, save Lan’er! It hurts, it hurts…”

Yuan Yuan was furious and frantic. She suddenly dropped to her knees before Huangfu Rong’an.

“Commandery Princess, please calm your anger! Please spare the young lady—after all… she is your own elder sister from the same mother!”

“Shut up! I don’t have such a sister. Say one more word and I’ll have you beaten too!” Huangfu Rong’an’s face darkened as she snarled through gritted teeth.

Yuan Yuan was on the verge of tears. Watching blow after blow fall on Huangfu Ronglan, until blood began to stain her clothes, she could no longer hold back.

In the next moment, she clenched her teeth, crawled over, and threw herself over Huangfu Ronglan to shield her.

The next strike landed squarely on Yuan Yuan’s back.

Her vision went black from the pain—she nearly fainted.

That was just one blow, and it already hurt this much.

Huangfu Ronglan had taken seven or eight—

how unbearable must that have been?

The servants hesitated. They all knew Yuan Yuan was Huangfu Yi’s woman, and now they didn’t dare act rashly. One by one, they turned to look at Huangfu Rong’an.

Yuan Yuan bit her tongue to stay conscious and forced herself to speak:

“Commandery Princess… the Second Prince will be here soon. If he sees you treating the young lady like this, he’ll be furious. Do you really want this to harm your father-daughter relationship?”

But Huangfu Rong’an, arrogant and willful as ever, showed no fear. Instead, she sneered.

“What a joke. What do I have to fear? Would my father really kill me over a lowly wench like you and this fool?”

Then she glanced coldly at the servants.

“What are you waiting for? Beat her—beat her to death!”

The servants dared not disobey and raised their boards again.

Yuan Yuan did not retreat. Gritting her teeth, she shielded Huangfu Ronglan tightly.

And the blows—

all landed on her.

Before long, her face turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

Seeing this, Huangfu Ronglan cried out as she struggled,

“Bad people! Don’t hit Yuan Yuan! Lan’er will be good, will listen, don’t hit Yuan Yuan…”

“Y-young lady… I’m fine… don’t worry…” Yuan Yuan said weakly, comforting her, though she didn’t move aside—she was already on the verge of losing consciousness.

Huangfu Ronglan cried even harder.

“She’s going to die… Yuan Yuan’s going to die… waaa…”

Yuan Yuan was in so much pain she couldn’t even speak anymore. She bit her lip hard, until a trace of blood seeped out.

Behind her, the boards kept falling.

One after another.

Twelve blows in total…
