Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter Chapter 172 

Chapter 172  Bite You to Death, You Lecher! 

Zi You had ordered someone to gag her, so Wang Yiping could only grunt.

Zi You shed tears and looked unbearably heartbroken. She went over to her and used a handkerchief to wipe her sweat off. “Endure it, mother. I know that it hurts, but it's still better than the Emperor taking your life!”

She then took the opportunity to lean close to her and whisper, “Slut! How does it feel? This is just the beginning.”

Wang Yiping's vicious eyes looked at her. Her gaze was like arrows dipped in venom. She wanted to turn into a million arrows and shoot Zi You through the heart.

Zi You's eyes mocked her. She deliberately cried to Aunt Lan, “Have mercy, Aunt Lan! Don't hurt mother until she falls ill……”

Aunt Lan nodded. Being beaten with the military rod thirty times wouldn't kill you, but it could waste your legs and leave you in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

The person carrying the family laws on Mu YingRui was Uncle Jiang. Of course, he wouldn't let Mu YingRui get comfortable. The coward fainted away by the fifth hit.

In the end, they were dragged away like dead pigs.

They hated Zi You even more now. But they didn't think about what they had done or how much harm they themselves had brought to Zi You.

Regarding Rong Yunhe and Rong Qiyan's exile, Zi You knelt for more than two hours in front of Chengguang Palace Hall before the Emperor had agreed to see her.

It was the fifth. The officials were still on holiday leave. Thus, there was only Zi You alone in the white marbled Chengguang Palace Hall.

She knelt there alone and proudly. Her small body seemed even smaller in the big hall, making everyone unable to ignore her.

Old General Mu and Mu YingYi were so anxious that their foreheads were covered with sweat. They knew that they wouldn't be able to persuade her and even wanted to lock her in the house.

But Zi You had said to them, “They aren't slaves anymore. They are my comrades from the day that I brought them into the house. I can't abandon them before we go into battle. They didn't commit a sin. If they are exiled, then they would be convicted of a sin. In that case, I am not qualified to stay here either. I should be punished with them.”

Shangguan LingRan knew that she was kneeling there and couldn't sit still.

He ran to Jingyang Palace and fanned the flames with the Empress Dowager. “Imperial grandmother, that idiot is still kneeling there. If she kneels anymore, she will lose her legs. She is the female medical team's commander whom you have high hopes for. If she's crippled before she sets off for battle, it will become a huge joke.”

The Empress Dowager was old, but wise. She looked at her grandson anxiously jumping up and down. Although he still had his mischievous and carefree smile, the anxiety in his eyes couldn't be hidden from the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh. “Silly child. She is already engaged to Duke Yongnan Shizi. Why do you still care about her?”

“Who cares about her?” Shangguan LingRan denied it. “Grandson is only thinking about how you and imperial uncle should not be reprimanded. Rong Yunhe and his sister obviously did not attempt to assassinate imperial uncle. But if we exile them, won't we be wronging them?

“Moreover, once the siblings are exiled, wouldn't that idiot give up her head? She had vowed that those slaves wouldn't seek revenge. Do you want to see her die or crippled? Imperial grandmother, it's the New Year. Can you be so cruel?”

The Empress Dowager had no other choice. She sent her confidant eunuch to tell the Emperor, “Mu Zi You is the first female medical team's commander supported by Aijia.”

Even if the Emperor was unhappy after he heard the words that his Muhou's eunuch had said, he could not insist any longer. One had to look a dog's master if one wanted to beat it. The Empress Dowager was pretty much telling him: Aijia is backing Mu Zi You. Don't go too far.

The Emperor looked at Zi You and asked her in displeasure, “You will do all this for two slaves who want to seek revenge against Zhen. Aren't you afraid that they will harm Great Yan's soldiers when they are with the army in the future?”

“Emperor.” Zi You kowtowed and argued, “They don't want to seek revenge. You also saw it. Rong Yunhe stabbed the assassin and didn't point his sword at you. Rong Qiyan never thought about seeking revenge from the beginning to the end.

“Emperor, Chennu is a girl and don't understand politics. But Chennu knows that grace should be combined with severity instead of having ruthless policies. If you let the siblings off this time, they will certainly be grateful and won't be traitorous.

“The rest of the slaves will also learn the lesson and understand what the path that they should choose is. Emperor, let the siblings obtain meritorious service to make up for their sins. You can write this sin down for now. If they joined the battlefield and obtained merit, that will offset their sins. If they do not, you can punish them for both sins, along with Chennu then.”

The Emperor looked at the twelve-year-old girl who was already so beautiful that one was reluctant to look away from her. He thought for a while and finally showed s a self-blaming and doting smile. “Zhen will release them to protect you then. Otherwise, if Zhen don't punish you, how will Zhen be able to convince everyone? Yatou, remember Zhen's painstaking efforts.”

“Thank you for your grace, Emperor! Chennu will remember the Emperor's care and trust.” Zi You kowtowed and smiled gratefully at him.

Her bright smile was as elegant and aloof as a hibiscus emerging from the water. The Emperor's heart shook and his mood improved.

His smile became meaningful and his words held an even deeper meaning. “Yatou, you have to remember. Only Zhen can give you everything that you want in this world.”

Zi You looked at his dark eyes and turned cold! She pretended to look naïve and innocent and nodded. “Yes, Chennu understands. Chennu will tell Emperor first if Chennu wants anything in the future.”

Rong Yunhe and his sister returned. Rong Yunhe knew that Zi You had knelt for two hours in front of Chengguang Palace Hall for them. So, after he returned, he knelt outside Youran Ju's courtyard.

Zi You did not make him get up. She called him into her grandfather's study after he knelt for a full two hours.

She stared at him with no expression on her face. Rong Yunhe finally said, with a guilty expression, “I'm sorry, Commander. I harmed you……”

She coldly said, “You should be sorry to me, but you should be sorrier to your parents and the other forty-nine slaves who have escaped from hell with you! Didn't your parents tell you that you should live well with your sister and not seek revenge?

“Have you ever thought that the forty-nine slaves will be executed whether the assassination was successful or not? I already told you to cherish the chance to begin a new life. But you? It's only been four months since you have escaped from hell and you've already forgotten the nonhuman days. You also almost made your sister and your comrades follow and suffer with you.

“From now on, don't follow me anymore. I, Mu Zi You, don't have such a brainless fool who doesn't listen to orders as a subordinate!”

“No!” Rong Yunhe clearly did not expect that Zi You would drive him away. He started to anxiously kowtow. “I'm not going. You can punish me as you wish. Just don't make me leave.”

“Commander!” Rong Qiyan rushed inside. She kowtowed alongside her brother. “Please spare my brother this time. He won't dare to anymore.”

Zi You coldly said, “A country has its own laws. An army has an army's discipline. How will I dare to keep any soldiers who are disloyal to me around?”

Rong Yunhe felt as if someone stabbed his heart. He felt guilty and wronged. Truthfully speaking, he really wanted to seek revenge for his parents and brothers. Especially his brothers. One was twenty years old and one was seventeen years old. They really died too unjustly.

But when Wang Haiji found him that day, he had only hesitated for two minutes before refusing him. It wasn't for anything else, but for Xiaojie and his sister.

He had originally thought that Zi You bought them to be killers or to do some immoral things. So, he had once thought that if Zi You wished to harm him and his sister, he would kill her and escape with his sister.

But he had never thought that she bought them to form a female medical team. He had worried in the beginning that his sister used to be a noble xiaojie. He was very conflicted to have her go save the crude male soldiers.

But he had been impressed when he had seen Zi You diligently practicing martial arts and medical skills like the slaves all day, in preparation for going with them to the battlefield to treat the wounded. He had admired this outwardly cold, but inwardly fervent little girl.

Then he had learned martial arts and medical skills alongside Zi You for eight to ten hours every day. They had lived and studied together. He had listened to her lectures about life. The more he came into contact with her, the more he had admired this xiaojie who was younger than him by two years. He had felt that she was not the same as ordinary noble xiaojies.

He secretly looked at his little master, who was comparable to a snow lotus, with admiration every day. He looked at her quietly and with no confidence. He didn't dare to ask for anything. He only wanted to look at her from afar like this and silently wish her good fortune.

But if he didn't have this in the future, he didn't know what he would do. It was as if his life had suddenly lost all meaning. He was flustered.

Rong Yunhe silently kowtowed. Rong Qiyan's tears covered her face. She begged, “Commander, I will watch my brother in the future. Please, please forgive him just this once.”

“Please forgive Captain Rong, Commander!” Orderly and loud voices came from outside.

Moyun came inside to report. “Xiaojie, the female medical team members are all kneeling outside the yard.”

A gratified smile finally appeared on Zi You's face. Not bad. They knew how to be unified. She really would cry without tears if she didn't get anything in return for her four months of hard work. The matter this time was both a bad and good thing. At least, these people learned a good lesson.

Zi You stood up and said to Rong Yunhe and Rong Qiyan, “Go out and line up.”

Rong Yunhe first froze before smiling ecstatically. His large and round eyes held tears. He rubbed his eyes and quickly ran out. He stood at the head of the first team.

Zi You stood in the front and looked majestically at the members. She said loudly, “I will repeat myself. You fifty-one people, the fifty of you plus me, are one. If one person makes a mistake, the other fifty people will be implicated. So, I hope that you will all think about your other fifty comrades before you do anything.

“Are you willing to push your comrades into hell because of your own hatred? There aren't many chances to start a new life. There might not be a second or third chance. Please cherish it.

“Rong Yunhe knew about the matter, but did not report it. He had the intention to seek revenge. Not only did not he not get his revenge, but he also implicated us. From now on, he is no longer the captain of team one. Team one's captain will be Sun Changsheng. Rong Yunhe will be beaten twenty times with boards and confined for three days.

“All leave is cancelled. Resume practicing martial arts and attending classes tomorrow.”

There were consequences to making mistakes. Zi You wanted these people to firmly remember this. So, they first tied sandbags to their legs and climbed mountains early the next morning in training. The military training in the mountains was also moved up from the 16th to the 11th.

Shangguan LingRan came to Hundred Herb Garden that night. Zi You had changed from being angry and resistant to being accustomed to him coming. She had changed several arrays already. Even her grandfather had to spend a lot of effort to come inside. But this rascal slipped in quicker and quicker every time.

So many things had happened during the daytime. Although most of it was arranged in advance, there were some accidents. Zi You knew that he would certainly come tonight. Thus, she prepared a pot of Lu'an tea and some snacks. She waited for him while reading.

The rascal broke through the Yin Yang Taichi Array. His actions were elegant and light as he flew in front of Zi You.

He looked at the tea and snacks that she had prepared. He looked at her sitting at a table and quietly reading a book. It was like she was a wife waiting for her husband who had gone out and was returning late.

Shangguan LingRan happily reclined near Zi You. He revealed a devilishly charming smile. “Wife, are you waiting for your husband?”

Zi You seemed to have been used to his teasing. She looked coldly at him. “You still have the time to speak nonsense? You used your martial arts today. The Emperor and Empress are not fools. They may soon guess that you know martial arts. You call me stupid, but you're the stupid one. Why did you expose your martial arts in front of everyone?”

“Are you worried about me?” Shangguan LingRan looked happily at her. His phoenix eyes shone brightly like the stars gathered in the night sky.

Because his body was very close to Zi You, Zi You could smell the bamboo scent on his body. It was very different from the strong sandalwood scent on other men's bodies. It was faintly fresh-smelling and gave people a sense of relaxation.

Zi You admitted that she really liked the scent on Shangguan LingRan's body. It was clear and fresh and completely different from that slag male Zhao HongXiang's sandalwood and rouge scent in her previous life.

Didn't he spend all day in a brothel? How could there not be a rouge scent on him? Zi You was curious and couldn't help but look at him.

This one glance made her involuntarily freeze.

Shangguan LingRan was leaning on a chair. One hand was propped under his chin. His elbow was leaning on the rosewood table. His long hair flowed down like a waterfall. His collar was slightly open, revealing white skin, his sensual neck, and sexy Adam 's apple. His dark gold collar contrasted against his white robe. The feeling of him being so pure that he must be a demon burst out at this moment.

His phoenix eyes slightly narrowed. He looked lazily and affectionately at her, emitting moving brilliance.

Zi You's heart jumped and she looked away in panic. Her heart scolded, 'Evil spirit! No wonder you're a dandy, but can still mesmerize people. You're really an evil spirit!'

Seeing Zi You avert her eyes and her pretty face flush red, Shangguan LingRan laughed out loud. “What is it, wife? Are you satisfied with your husband's appearance?”

Zi You became angry and kicked him.

But there was a huge disparity between their martial arts. She was wearing black and red threaded Cloud Brocade boots. Her boot hadn't landed on Shangguan LingRan's body before he caught it.

“Ah! New shoes?” Shangguan LingRan wasn't angry, but laughed instead. “You'er, you can just say it if you have new shoes that you want your husband to see. You don't have to send it to your husband in such a special way like this. But your husband thinks that the exquisite jade-like foot inside is much better-looking than these shoes.”

He hadn't finished speaking when Zi You's shoe and sock were taken off. A delicate and small jade-like foot was held in his palm.

The heat from Shangguan LingRan's palm spread from her foot to her calf.

Zi You could only feel a stream of heat spread throughout her body. Even her internal organs seemed to be heated by his palm.

A female's feet shouldn't be seen by anyone. It was as holy as her body. This lecher was so presumptuous. He really deserved to die!

Zi You forcefully suppressed the heat in her body and started to attack him. Darned evil spirit! Even if she couldn't beat him, she still had to hit him. She couldn't let him take advantage of her in vain.

Zi You stubbornly attacked. She bit her lip as her hands rained beautiful plum blossoms and attacked Shangguan LingRan's twelve acupuncture points.

This was a technique that she had invented herself — Plum Blossom Palm.

“Beautiful technique!” Shangguan LingRan praised. One hand held Zi You's small foot and one hand flew to block Zi You's attack.

They fought back and forth and exchanged fifty moves. Zi You saw that her foot was still caught in Shangguan LingRan's hand and he only used one hand to beat her carefully developed Plum Blossom Palm.

She was breathless from anger and glared at Shangguan LingRan. She suddenly covered her face and started crying. “You scoundrel! You're like this every time. If someone finds out, I don't need to live anymore.”

Shangguan LingRan saw how she was like a little lion baring her claws and fighting desperately against him one second, but cried like a child in the next second.

Her appearance was so much more vivid and cuter than before. He couldn't help but smile dotingly. His heart was a mess.

He gently pulled Zi You's jade-like foot. Zi You's body tilted and she immediately fell into his arms. She landed on his lap.

“Don't cry, You'er. Your crying makes me distressed.” He raised his hand to clumsily wipe the tears for his little woman. But he did not expect that Zi You would turn into a little lion once again. She grabbed his hand and bit down hard.

Zi You bit very hard. She let go of Shangguan LingRan when she tasted a fishy and bloody taste in her mouth.

You think I'm easy to bully? Zi You angrily scolded, “I'll bite you to death, you lecher!”

Shangguan LingRan looked at the circle of teeth print on his hand. Some places were oozing drops of blood. He was not only not angry, but he stretched his tongue out and gently licked the drops of blood where she had bitten.

His face was intoxicated as he praised, “Really fragrant!”

“Rogue! Scoundrel!” Zi You blushed once again. She didn't know how to handle this rascal.

She was cunning because she had been reborn. But that didn't mean that she knew how to handle a mischievous rascal like Shangguan LingRan.

That was true especially since she and that slag male didn't do any *** things in her previous life. Soon after marriage, her grandfather and uncle had had accidents. And the slag male's affections had changed. It could be said that Zi You was very pitiful. She didn't understand love at all.

Her charm and enchantment were learned from Shui Youlian to deal with Zhao HongXiang.

But they were not only useless against Shangguan LingRan, but they might make him even crazier. Zi You shook her head in annoyance.

He stayed in a brothel all day long. What kind of enchanting woman had he not seen before? She was just an unripe fruit in front of him……

Zi You felt a deep sense of helplessness. If she kept on fighting with him, he might treat it as flirting and become more proud.

Thus, her face stiffened and she wanted to break away from his arms.

But Shangguan LingRan held her tightly. She simply could not break out of his grasp.

Zi You was angry and said, “It's true that we are allies. But that doesn't mean you can touch me and insult me as you wish. I can't beat you, but that doesn't mean that you can insult me. Shangguan LingRan, our alliance is at an end. Don't blame me for being impolite if you keep speaking nonsense and doing whatever you want. Let go of me!”

Shangguan LingRan was being smug. He had been thinking, 'Does this count as an indirect kiss between me and You'er? Her saliva smelled nice. I tasted it. Haha……'

But the little yatou instantly changed and startled him! He looked up. The little yatou was really angry. Her body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost. Even her beautiful eyes didn't hold anger, but bone-chilling coldness.

Shangguan LingRan suddenly panicked. He let go of Zi You and was at a loss. He tried to fawn over her incoherently. “You'er, why are you angry? I swear that I wasn't insulting you. I really wanted to get intimate, no, get closer to you. Don't be angry. I will be distressed if you're angry.”

“You're still talking? You're just like them. You only know how to bully me.” Zi You thought of how she had been living amidst schemes and conspiracies. She was extremely aggrieved. Her eyes reddened and were immediately covered with a layer of tears.

Shangguan LingRan thought of everything that she had experienced during the day. He was immediately upset.

The little yatou was going to turn thirteen on March 23rd. But she had to fight with adults all day long. It really was hard on her.

Although he truly liked her and wanted to get close to her, she was still young and didn't necessarily understand emotions. He was so hasty, so it was no wonder that she would be upset. He was indeed in the wrong this time.

Shangguan LingRan realized that he was wrong. But how could he apologize with his personality?
