Seize This Vile Maid

The little brother was only six years old, yet he had to live alone with them. One could imagine what his life would be like.

She didn't hesitate long and quickly went to the front courtyard to look for him.

As soon as she entered, she heard Jiang Jin Rong's shrill, desperate, and mournful cries. Her heart pounded instantly, and she immediately ran over, witnessing a scene that pained her heart.

Her little brother was held tightly by two servants, his pants pulled down, a piece of raw meat tied around his neck. Jiang Qu Huai and Jiang Qu Feng excitedly shouted "bastard." In front of them was a black dog tied with a rope, and the two children struggled to hold the other end of the rope. The black dog growled, wanting to lunge forward, probably attracted by the raw meat. It was so agitated that it raised its front paws, struggling and barking, eager to pounce.

Jiang Jin Rong cried out in despair, but the two children laughed even more excitedly.

"Little brother!" Jin Xin rushed forward, pushing the two servants away with one hand, then pulled the raw meat off and threw it at Jiang Qu Huai.

The black dog immediately changed direction, pouncing towards the other side. The servants were momentarily unable to hold it back, and the dog quickly leaped forward. Jiang Qu Huai screamed in fright, scrambling backward.

Fortunately, the dog only ate meat, and then it was brought under control by the servants.

"Little brother, are you alright? Let your older sister see, where are you hurt?" Jin Xin anxiously checked the boy's body, finding it covered in wounds on his back, thighs, and chest—marks from beatings, scratches, needle pricks, and bruises all over.

"Older sister! Older sister! Save me! I want to go back! I don't want to stay in the front courtyard anymore!" Jiang Jin Rong cried heartbrokenly, making Jin Xin's heart nearly shatter.

"Seize this vile maid so this young master can feed her to the dog!" After calming down, Jiang Qu Huai yelled.

Hearing this, several servants stepped forward, preparing to seize her. Jin Xin stood up abruptly, coldly glaring at the household guards who were about to rush at her.

"Let me see which of you dares to do so? I am now Prince Rui's favored concubine. How many guts do you have to touch me? I will surely chop off your limbs!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the household guards dared not advance further. They all turned to look at Jiang Qu Huai.

"What are you looking at? She's just a concubine! My older sister is the Princess Consort! The Princess Consort is much greater! Quickly seize both of them and give them a good beating!" Jiang Qu Huai stood with hands on hips, full of malicious intent.

But how could these household guards dare to act? The Second Young Master was the apple of Madam's eye. Even if they truly beat Jiang Jin Xin, if the Prince were to blame them, his older sister, the Princess Consort, could take the fall. But if they, as men, dared to touch the Prince's woman, being cut into eight pieces would still be a light punishment. How could they dare?

Seeing that none of them advanced, Jiang Qu Huai cursed, "A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Then, he grabbed the rope tied to the dog, preparing to unleash it to bite people.

Seeing this, Jin Xin lifted her little brother to a high spot, telling him, "Don't come down, protect yourself well."

Jiang Qu Huai snorted. Seeing the agitated appearance of the two siblings, he felt much more delighted in his heart. He said to Jiang Jin Xin, "Now, you kneel down and beg me, say that I, the Second Young Master, was wrong, and then tell that bastard to lick my shoes clean. I won't let the dog bite you anymore, how about it?"
