Don't Easily Let Them Off

Yu Chunhua's body trembled uncontrollably, her legs weakening until she involuntarily knelt down. She kept her head low, not daring to look Ye Siheng in the eye. "I... I... I didn't mean it like that..."

Ye Siheng looked down at her with a commanding presence, disdain evident in his gaze. "Those who dare to speak rashly of me, it seems County Princess Yu also needs to remember this lesson well."

Everyone present gasped in shock. Their eyes held pity and schadenfreude. To teach County Princess Yu a lesson, wouldn't the lightest punishment be cutting out her tongue? Oh my, County Princess Yu hadn't even married yet; if her tongue were cut out, what future prospects would she have?

Yu Chunhua's mind went blank. Despite resenting Xie Beihan's cunning, she now understood that if she continued to act cowardly and compliant, she might indeed end up with her tongue cut out by Ye Siheng as a warning.
