1854 Discipline Her on Your Behalf
Aunt Yi picked up her teacup with a smile, and everyone followed suit. They downed their tea and smiled at each other.
The eight hundred disciples of Holy Water Sect were united in one heart and one life.
As long as they were alive, the Holy Water Sect would live on!
*Step, step, step, step.* Meanwhile, the group of valiant maidservants followed Princess Jing up to the Tianzi Room on the second floor.
They heard screeching and the sound of cups crashing inside when they got near.
Princess Jing halted and creased her long eyebrows.
The maidservants also showed looks of distaste, as if they were already used to this kind of behavior by the person inside.
Jing Linyao pushed open the door, and the three women inside spun their heads to look at her.
A slightly older woman wearing plainly-colored makeup but dressed to the nines was sitting in a big wooden armchair. She couldn't help but knit her brows when she saw Jing Linyao.
The two young ladies beside her were sitting and standing, respectively.
One of them wore a green silk waistband with a piece of jade hanging from it. She was less than twenty, but her angry countenance ruined her beautiful looks.
The other woman who looked to be 27 or 28 wore a dress decorated with gold-threaded camellias and held a round fan. Compared to the two other women in the room, her looks were noticeably less outstanding. She could only be described as a delicate and pretty woman.
"Why did you enter without knocking?" The older woman questioned solemnly. She looked at Jing Linyao sternly in discontent.
"Greetings to Mother." Jing Linyao gave her greetings serenely before gesturing to the maidservants behind her with a gaze.
Two maidservants immediately walked up and yanked the angry beauty up from her chair by the arms. They then slapped her across the face twice without room for objection.
"Ah!!" That young lady screamed. However, she did not fall to the floor because the maidservants had restrained her arms.
She screamed from the burning pain in her cheeks.
The two maidservants slapped her twice again without any hesitation, stopping that young lady's screams in her throat.
"Insolence!" Madam Jing shook from anger and bolted up from her big wooden armchair. She walked up to Jing Linyao and pointed a shaking finger at her while enunciating, "Jing! Lin! Yao!"
Her voice seemed to have been forced out from between her teeth, her expression furious.
"Mother, Younger Sister is immature, but since you do not discipline her, I have no choice but to discipline her on your behalf as her elder sister."
"I already warned her previously not to make a move!" Jing Linyao looked coldly at the young lady whose cheeks had swelled up. Her gaze was full of disgust as if she was looking at a dirty bug. "Yet what did this idiot do? She thinks that other people won't be able to find out these idiotic things she did?"
"If the Pangu Tribe wants to leave the Aurora Desert, that vast and boundless desert, we must submit to the Divine Province."
Jing Linyao's voice was filled with indifference. "I can allow Younger Sister to fulfill the marriage contract in my stead."
She had vowed long ago not to marry, devoting her life to the Pangu Tribe instead. That was why marriage was probably out of the question for her in this lifetime.
"But can you try to be smarter? You are already deceiving the emperor of the Divine Province by doing this."
"You even want to make the entire city know about it?"
"If she continues being this dumb." Jing Linyao's gaze abruptly turned icy. "I don't mind killing her."
