The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Upon receiving the order, Xiao Xizi and Xiao Fuzi rushed over without hesitation, each grabbing Xiang'er from either side and pulling her aside.

Xiang'er struggled desperately but to no avail, and could only kneel down with a thud.

"Little Gengzi, please have mercy! Xiaoqin is my own sister!"

"My sister and I were sold into the Crown Prince's residence when we were young. We depended on each other for survival and had no relatives or friends..."

"I'll do anything you ask, as long as you let her go!"

Xiang'er's eyes were red from crying.

Chen Changgeng remained expressionless. When the eunuch brought over a stool, he helped Xiaoqin up on it himself.

He then took the wooden stick with one hand and glanced at Xiao Xizi and Xiao Fuzi.

"Little Fuzi, I'll hit, you count."

"Remember, you must not miscount. If you do, I will hold you responsible!"

"Do you understand?"

Chen Changgeng stared wide-eyed.

Xiao Fuzi exclaimed "Ah!", her eyes darting around as she looked at Xiang'er and then at Chen Changgeng, quickly realizing what was happening.

"Xiao Fuzi understands!"

Chen Changgeng raised the wooden stick and struck it lightly, making a sound that was not loud!

"Snap! One!"

Chen Changgeng deliberately paused his hand movements, glanced at Xiao Fuzi again, and then struck with the second stick.

"Snap! Eleven!"

"what?"

"Um?"

"This isn't right, is it?"

The storage room erupted into chaos instantly.

Even Xiang'er, who had been filled with despair and had closed her eyes, suddenly widened her beautiful eyes!

Chen Changgeng smiled slightly, thankfully this little Fuzi was clever enough to understand his meaning!

There are two modes of hitting someone: one that makes a sound but doesn't hurt, and one that hurts but doesn't make a sound.

They can come up with all sorts of creative ways to display numbers.

Let's say twenty strokes. Even if I find a stutterer to count them, they'd never finish hitting him!

If you're determined, you can get rid of those hundred blows as if you only needed twenty!

Chen Changgeng gave Xiao Fuzi a look of appreciation, then swung the stick and struck again!

"Snap! One hundred!"

"Hey, all done!"

Xiao Fuzi slapped the ground repeatedly.

But now it was Chen Changgeng's turn to be dumbfounded. No, how could you have such a number?

Did it jump straight to 100 after the National Day holiday?

This is too exaggerated!

Just as Chen Changgeng stared at him, Xiao Fuzi immediately scratched his head sheepishly.

"Hehe, Little Fuzi hasn't studied much math."

"When the village teacher was teaching arithmetic, I dozed off, and after eleven, all I heard was 'one hundred'!"

Chen Changgeng laughed heartily, gave him a thumbs up, and then waved his hand.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and carry it inside to rest!"

"As you can see, the hundred strokes have been completed."

"Anyone who dares to speak of what happened today should think twice before this stick falls on their own back later."

"What will that feel like!"

Everyone immediately lowered their heads.

"Wow!"

"You little bastard, Xiao Gengzi!"

"You scared me to death!"

Xiang'er was already in tears. After calming down, she understood Chen Changgeng's good intentions.

She immediately pounced on Chen Changgeng and rushed into his arms, wiping her snot and tears on his chest.

"I've let the person go. You just said you'd do anything I asked."

"Does it still count?"

Chen Changgeng smiled slyly and whispered a question in Xiang'er's ear.

Instantly, Xiang'er blushed and looked up to see Chen Changgeng's strange gaze.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed Chen Changgeng's hand, and headed towards the woodshed.

"Of course it counts!"

"Although I, Xiang'er, am not a gentleman, I am still a person of my word!"

Even if you do, why are you dragging me to the woodshed?

Chen Changgeng stared wide-eyed as Xiang'er lowered her pretty face and took tiny, quick steps.

She held Chen Changgeng's hand with all her might.

"Creak!"

The door to the woodshed closed gently.

Xiang'er gently bit her lip and lay down on the woodpile.

Then, with swift movements of her small hands, she untied her belt in the blink of an eye.

The originally tightly bound palace dress suddenly became loose and baggy, and the hem of the skirt slipped down, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin on her thighs.

"I know you little eunuchs dream of tasting a woman every day."

"I...I'll grant your wish today, I'll let you touch me!"

"Anyway, you're not really a man, and you can't do anything, so letting you touch me... it's no big deal!"

Xiang'er shyly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.

Her little expression was shy, fearful yet filled with trepidation and anticipation.

When that steward Wang was running rampant in the miscellaneous affairs room, many palace maids in the mansion probably suffered at his hands.

Xiang'er immediately thought of this.

Upon seeing this, Chen Changgeng couldn't help but chuckle.

Actually, he just wanted to use Xiang'er's connection to ask Xiaoqin about Consort Ling; he didn't even think about it that way!

Just as Xiang'er was feeling uneasy, a hand slowly touched her lower abdomen.

Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Little Gengzi! You're such a rascal!

Xiang'er felt a pang of jealousy in her heart!

For some reason, this silly boy seemed to possess a kind of magic that had deeply attracted her from the moment he entered the manor.

With his handsome appearance, sweet little mouth, and the composure he exuded when facing the Crown Princess and even the Crown Prince, he was worlds apart from the cowards in the mansion!

Not to mention he's so capable; he's now in charge.

Xiang'er felt a softness in her heart as she felt the fingers slowly moving, and a comfortable tingling sensation immediately spread throughout her body.

But the next second, her hands, which were originally folded on her stomach, were suddenly pulled up.

Something hard was shoved into her hand, and she held it tightly!

Xiang'er suddenly opened her eyes, looked at her hand, and immediately exclaimed in surprise!

"Shh!"

Chen Changgeng immediately made a shushing gesture and whispered.

"Xiaoqin is seriously injured. Take this money and go outside the mansion to find a doctor to treat her."

"I might have something else to do later and won't be able to get away!"

Xiang'er's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the rolled-up hundred-tael silver note in her hand, so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word!

Where did this little guy get so much money?!

Could it be that she really intends to redeem herself?

Thinking of this, Xiang'er felt a sweet warmth in her heart. When she remembered that the money was for her sister's medical treatment, a look of gratitude flashed in her eyes!

But the next second, doubts arose in her mind.

"Little Gengzi, you...you really don't want me?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, Sister Xiang'er, you'll be Xiao Gengzi's sooner or later."

"Can't we keep the little Gengzi (a type of jade pendant) and savor it slowly later?"

Chen Changgeng lowered his head and whispered something in Xiang'er's ear.

Instantly, Xiang'er's face turned bright red!

She immediately raised her fist and punched Chen Changgeng in the chest, muttering a retort in a low voice, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Who, who, who said I'm yours!"

"Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever! We're not leaving it for you!"

Xiang'er leaped up quickly, fastened her belt and straightened her palace dress in the blink of an eye, covered her face and rushed out.

Watching her fleeing figure, Chen Changgeng smiled helplessly.

It's not that I don't want it, it's just that with my abilities, this place, and such a short time...

There's simply no way to use it properly!

When the opportunity arises in the future, I'll make sure you experience my power!

Pushing open the door of the woodshed and stepping out, the people around immediately cast surprised glances. How long had the two been inside? Could it be that Steward Chen was impotent?

The other palace maids immediately shrank back, their eyes filled with even more fear as they looked at Chen Changgeng!

I thought we'd just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another!

"Ahem, what are you thinking about!"

"Nothing happened just now. Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

Chen Changgeng gave him a stern reprimand.

But Xiao Xizi and Xiao Fuzi across from them gave them knowing looks.

Damn it, this is a huge misunderstanding!

Chen Changgeng awkwardly touched his nose. Just as he was about to go check on Xiaoqin, a little palace maid rushed over to the door of the errand room.

Chen Changgeng looked somewhat familiar; like Xiang'er, he was one of Shen Qingci's maids.

"Young Master Gengzi, His Highness is urgently seeking you!"

"Come with me now!"

Chen Changgeng's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he could only quickly follow.

Sure enough, it seems something really happened!
