Chapter 2: The tiger doesn't show its strength and treats me like a sick cat

The moonlit dark eyes of Yu Di suddenly opened coldly, and she sat up abruptly, looking at her right arm, which was indeed snow-white and unblemished.

Just then, she suddenly heard a "thud" from under the bed, and urgently, a curse came from under the bed: "Damn it, who knocked me out and stuffed me under the bed!"

Yu Di was stunned, her eyes instantly turning cold. There was someone under the bed. She calmly dressed and observed the surroundings for any handy weapons.

As the man crawled out, Yu Di had already firmly grasped the vase at the head of the bed, preparing to ambush.

"Damn, you're awake? The little girl is quite beautiful. Even if they don't pay, I'm willing to have her. A beauty like her is worth a fortune. Let's go, little girl..."

Just as the pockmarked Wang Er Mazhi was about to pounce on Yu Di, she fiercely smashed the vase in her hand onto his head.

In an instant, a large amount of blood flowed down from Wang Er Mazhi's head. He was in excruciating pain, wiping the blood off his hand. "You little bitch, how dare you hit me! Do you believe I'll kill you!"

Just as Wang Er Mazhi was about to act, there was another "thud," and the door was kicked open heavily. Urgently, a group of men and women dressed in luxurious clothes walked in.

As the crowd entered and saw the scene inside, they began to voice their angry accusations.

"Shangguan Yu Di, you actually had an affair with a servant from the Luli Garden. You shameless woman, do you not respect the Crown Prince? I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the Crown Prince and beat you to death!" A girl named Mu Yan Dan rushed in, wielding a whip and began to lash out at Yu Di.

With a few lashes, Mu Yan Dan's whip had already struck Yu Di's body fiercely, causing her arms and legs to be cut open, leaving several red marks and exposed flesh.

As Mu Yan Dan continued to beat her, her lackeys on the side were angrily shouting.

"Beat her! Beat this unfaithful and promiscuous waste of a woman who shamelessly followed the Crown Prince to the Luli Garden and had an affair with a servant. She is the Crown Prince's fiancée. This behavior is a blatant disrespect to the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness, you saw it with your own eyes. Shangguan Yu Di even seduced such an ugly pockmarked man, deliberately hitting you in the face. She's taking advantage of her father being the Grand Marshal and refusing to give up her position as the Crown Prince's consort. Today, she even gave you a cuckold's hat. She must be put in a pig cage!"

"Yes, even a pockmarked man like him dared to speak. This kind of wanton woman must be put in a pig cage. Our hatred won't be quenched without it! Mu Yan Dan, beat her fiercely, preferably to death!"

In her previous life, Yu Di was a genius in the medical field, proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. She was revered as a goddess of medicine, and even heads of state from various countries would come to her to seek treatment. She was respected wherever she went, but today, she was being so despised and beaten with a whip.

It was like a tiger being bullied by dogs, not showing its strength and being treated like a sick cat.

She had no martial arts skills, but because of her quick and precise use of the scalpel, when the sharp whip struck again, she stepped forward and firmly grabbed the whip.

At the same time, two fierce flames burned in her eyes, feeling that she was being pushed too far. These people were going too far!

Seeing Yu Di daring to grab her whip, Mu Yan Dan's face showed a surprised expression. "You dare to grab my whip, are you tired of living?"

Mu Yan Dan was puzzled. This little woman had always been timid and easily bullied. How could she dare to fight back today, and with such a calm gaze? Where did she get the courage!

Yu Di coldly tightened the long whip, her dark pupils exuding a chilling coldness, as if they could devour one's heart, making Mu Yan Dan tremble in her heart. How did this girl become so calm and composed?

At this moment, Yu Di raised her chin arrogantly, standing there coldly, with an unyielding look that made people not dare to underestimate her.

"You dare to glare at me, where did you get the courage? I hit you, and you don't accept it, do you? If you don't accept it, I'll continue to hit you until you kneel down and beg for mercy!" Mu Yan Dan said, pulling the whip fiercely.

But when she pulled, she found that she couldn't move it, because the other end of the whip was firmly held by Yu Di.

Seeing that she couldn't pull the whip, Mu Yan Dan suddenly gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength to pull it, but at that moment, Yu Di suddenly let go!

As she let go, Mu Yan Dan was thrown to the ground due to the strong inertia and backlash.

At the same time, the whip also snapped back, hitting her face heavily.

Instantly, a bloody mark appeared on her face, and the once beautiful and delicate face was now marked with a bloody wound, looking extremely terrifying.

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone, and they angrily accused Yu Di. This timid girl actually dared to fight back against Mu Yan Dan.

"Shangguan Yu Di, how dare you hit the daughter of the Minister of Punishments? Aren't you afraid of death?"

As everyone was speechless, it was true that Yu Di hadn't made a move. It was Mu Yan Dan who had struck her first. Yu Di had only let go of the whip, so it was Mu Yan Dan's misfortune. It wasn't Yu Di's fault.

"Shangguan Liuyue, how dare you act so insolently in front of me? Guards, seize this wretched woman and charge her with adultery!" The speaker was none other than the Crown Prince Chu Yi, who had been observing from outside the door for quite some time.

As the Crown Prince entered, Liuyue looked at him directly. He was dressed in luxurious silk robes, his jet-black hair tied up with a hairpin, and a jade belt around his waist. He had the appearance of a refined gentleman, but his actions were far from gentlemanly, and his eyes were sinister and cunning.

Standing beside him was a woman in white, resembling a celestial being. She was none other than Shangguan Yuqing, the woman who had always looked down on Liuyue.

As soon as the Crown Prince spoke, his lackeys moved to seize Liuyue. She evaded them with a sidestep, her eyes shining brightly as she coldly confronted them, "Hold on! I haven't committed any crime. What right do you have to arrest me, Your Highness?"

Chu Yi was taken aback by the unexpected defiance from the usually timid girl. Her direct gaze and confrontational attitude ignited his anger, and his eyes turned as venomous as a snake's. "You have betrayed me and committed adultery. How dare you question me?"

"Where did you see me commit adultery? Do you have any evidence to support your accusation?" Liuyue remained composed and unhurried as she approached Chu Yi, her head held high with an air of arrogance that exuded a commanding presence, making it difficult for others to meet her gaze.
