The little eunuchs dared not make a move.
Qiaoqiao lay pinned to the ground, unable to struggle, and no one came to her aid. She just endured dozens of slaps as they came.
Zi Yue's hand began to hurt, so Zi Su and Zi Ning took turns. Although both were new, they were spirited. With pent-up frustration in their hearts, they lost all fear when striking someone.
They delivered the slaps sharply and swiftly. Xia Ruqing was very satisfied.
"Just like that, continue!"
Qiaoqiao wanted to cry but had no tears. She looked down on Xia Jieyu, but there was nothing she could do about the fiery pain on her face, which was almost battered to a pulp.
Finally, unable to endure it any longer, she knelt on the ground, weeping and kowtowing.
"This servant dares not, Xia Jieyu, please spare this servant!"
"This servant will not dare again!"
Xia Ruqing nodded with satisfaction.
"This is how a palace maid should be!"
"Stop!"
Zi Ning and Zi Su ceased their actions.
Xia Ruqing stood up.
