Inside the Fang Mansion, Fang Hongshan became anxious when he saw that Su had not returned for such a long time. When he was about to send someone to check out what was going on, he saw the servant that Elias Gu had asked the Fang family to go back and report the news.
Fang Hongshan saw the servant running out of breath and asked him what happened. After the servant told him what happened in Hongxiufang, his face changed drastically and he quickly called a carriage to rush towards the palace.
After arriving at the palace, he was led into a courtyard alone, where he saw his wife and daughter kneeling outside the main hall like two balls.
Fang Yirou and Su were like seeing a savior when they saw Fang Hongshan coming.
"Dad, please save my daughter. She really doesn't know that she is a princess. If she knew, I would definitely not hit her."
Fang Hongshan saw that the left half of his daughter's face was red and swollen, so he hardened his heart, closed his eyes, and slapped Fang Yiru's right cheek with his backhand. The slap was so strong that it immediately swelled up, and her face looked rounder than before.
Sophia Gu, Avery Mo and Chun Ying, who were applying medicine in the next room, were all leaning against the window looking out. They felt much better when they saw this scene.
Having been beaten by others and now being beaten by her father, Fang Yirou felt extremely wronged. "Dad, you beat me. You have never beaten me since I was a child."
"Shut up! Your mother and I didn't discipline you enough, which led to you doing such a ridiculous thing. Do you know that you are wrong to hurt the princess?"
Fang Yirou saw Fang Hongshan raising his hand to hit her and quickly said, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I deserve death. I accidentally hurt the princess, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Mr. Fang, do you mean to just let Princess Sophia Gu get away with the slap from your daughter?"
Elias Gu was sitting in the main hall drinking tea while watching the father and daughter acting outside. He then smashed the cup in his hand directly in front of the three people.
Fang Yiru and Su were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they burst into tears. Fang Hongshan was shaking like a sieve and begged Elias Gu to spare their lives.
Avery Mo was frightened by the terrifying atmosphere as if the god of death had arrived, and asked Sophia Gu beside him, "Sophia Gu, your brother is not really going to kill them, is he?"
"No way!" Although Fang Yirou's arrogance was really annoying, and he even wanted to beat her to death when she was beaten, he didn't really want her to die!
All I heard was Elias Gu coldly saying, "Miss Fang has committed treason against Princess Sophia Gu. You should be executed right here!"
The three members of the Fang family were so scared that they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and their heads were bruised.
Avery Mo and Sophia Gu both gasped when they heard this and quickly ran out to save people.
"Wait a minute, brother."
When the Fang family saw Sophia Gu coming out, they quickly begged for mercy. Sophia Gu saw that Fang Yirou's face was swollen like a bun, with tears and snot all over her face, which was really pitiful. Moreover, the whole thing was not a crime punishable by death.
Elias Gu saw the red and swollen marks on Sophia Gu's face and his face became more gloomy. "You are a princess and they will pay the price for hurting you."
"Brother Wang is right, but my birthday is at the end of this month, and I don't want to commit more killings during this period."
"Then put him in jail first, and we'll kill him after your birthday!"
"But..."
After hearing what Sophia Gu said, she didn't know what to say in response for a moment and looked to Avery Mo for help. Avery Mo was forced to do something and his mind raced, and he finally thought of a way to save Fang Yirou's life.
"Your Majesty, Miss Fang's life is not worth mentioning, so it doesn't matter if she is killed."
"Just woke up." Sophia Gu heard that she was going to save people, but she was adding fuel to the fire.
Avery Mo winked at Sophia Gu to keep silent, and then continued, "But if you kill her, you can't just pretend that the slap the princess received didn't happen. The prince used his own method to eliminate his anger, but did you ask the princess whether her anger was eliminated and how she eliminated it?"
"How dare you question the prince."
Nolan Fang loudly rebuked Avery Mo for his desperate behavior. She didn't think that she could be so rude to the prince just because the princess treated her as a friend.
Seeing that Avery Mo’s hands were shaking with fear, Elias Gu still chose to stand up and plead for Sophia Gu.
"You mean to say that I am too self-righteous?" "I dare not!"
Avery Mo was so frightened by Elias Gu's sudden approach that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Elias Gu sneered. She had the guts to come forward and beg for mercy. But when he calmed down, her words made sense. He was used to making decisions, so he ignored Sophia Gu's feelings and thoughts.
After a while, Elias Gu said, "Sophia Gu, how do you want to deal with them?"
After hearing this, Nolan Fang, who thought he knew Elias Gu well, was really frightened. When did his prince become so easy to talk to?
Sophia Gu didn't expect that Elias Gu would be convinced so quickly. Her mind went blank and she subconsciously looked at Avery Mo.
As soon as Avery Mo met Sophia Gu's gaze, he immediately lowered his head, and a thousand horses galloped through his heart. What a sin! Can't this woman use her brain? She was quite smart when she was dealing with her and insulting her on weekdays, but why is her IQ offline now? She is still looking at her at this time, maybe because she thinks her lifeline is too long.
Sophia Gu saw that Avery Mo didn't look at her, and she couldn't think of any way to make Elias Gu feel better and herself vent her anger, so she could only tell her to think about it carefully.
Fortunately, Elias Gu did not continue to be tough and asked her to tell him at breakfast tomorrow. Then he glanced at Avery Mo who was kneeling on the ground and left.
Fang Yirou was temporarily imprisoned in the woodshed where Avery Mo had been imprisoned, awaiting her fate. Fang Hongshan and Su were also asked to leave the palace.
After everyone had left, Avery Mo felt that the air around him was finally breathable. He touched his back uncomfortably, and it was wet with sweat.
Sophia Gu helped Avery Mo up from the ground. "Are you okay?"
Avery Mo rolled his eyes at her and said, "What's good about that? I'm almost scared to death! How can you, the prince brother, like to kill people so much? Don't you know that when he looked at me, I felt that the head on my neck was about to say goodbye to me, you know!"
Sophia Gu was amused. "Comrade Avery Mo, you saved a life by drawing your sword to help! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. God will not let you die. And as long as I am here, I will never let your head say goodbye to you."
"You must keep your word! No matter what happens in the future, you must protect me."
Sophia Gu poked Avery Mo on the forehead and said, "When did you stop talking?"
The next morning when having breakfast, Elias Gu saw that Avery Mo did not come with Sophia Gu. Sophia Gu quickly explained that she did not come because she was feeling a little unwell.
Elias Gu asked Doctor Jia from the mansion to go and take a look, but Sophia Gu refused, saying that it was not a big problem and that she just needed to rest.
"She didn't come because she was afraid of me. If she was so afraid, why did she come out yesterday?"
"She was really not feeling well when she first woke up."
Sophia Gu's explanation was not even convincing to herself. Avery Mo was indeed afraid that Elias Gu would chop off her head if he got angry, so she refused to come with her no matter what.
Elias Gu asked Sophia Gu if she had thought about the Fang family's matter? Sophia Gu told him what she and Avery Mo had discussed yesterday.
"Her idea?"
When Gu Qiancheng heard that the Fang family was not only going to build a charity bureau, an orphanage and a school in Baicheng in the name of Sophia Gu, but also in Yangcheng, Elias Gu guessed that this was most likely Avery Mo's idea.
"No, no, it's my own idea. This way, I can punish the Fang family and make myself feel better, and at the same time, I can do something good for the people's livelihood. Isn't this a good way to kill two birds with one stone?"
Sophia Gu was afraid of involving Avery Mo again, so she insisted that it was her own idea.
Seeing this, Elias Gu did not ask any further questions. It would cost a lot of money to build these places and to maintain their subsequent operations. The Fang family would be spending a lot of money this time.
"Since you think this is a good idea, then let's do as you say!"
Sophia Gu finally smiled when she heard this. "Thank you, Brother Wang."
Elias Gu touched Sophia Gu's head and said, "Silly girl, it was my brother who failed to protect you. Come and eat. The food is getting cold if you just keep talking."
"Yes, you eat too, brother."
The matter was resolved, Sophia Gu got rid of the pressure brought to her by a life, and could finally eat happily.
