Chapter 902: Chapter 896: Refreshing Worldviews

Gu Youyou let out a whimpering sound as Jin Fengzhao smiled with self-satisfaction.

"The clothes from Manxiu Building are something a commoner like you can afford to wear? I haven’t even received my order yet, and you dare to show off in front of me, let’s see how I deal with you."

Damn, when did I deliberately show off in front of you?

The wet nurse stripped off the clothes from Gu Youyou’s body and placed them respectfully on a gold-trimmed tray, presenting them to Jin Fengzhao, saying, "Princess, here are the clothes."

This lunatic imposter princess, with a face full of smiles, fondled the fabric of the clothes, exclaiming with delight, "It is indeed Manxiu Building’s Long E, the very set I ordered. Dress me in it."

Gu Youyou’s eyes widened in disbelief... She was actually going to strip her clothes off in front of her, and wear them in front of her?

Gu Youyou considered herself devoid of such peculiar tastes. To wear clothes someone else had worn? Only if she were so poor that she had nothing to wear, or under some extraordinary circumstances.

Jin Fengzhao was much plumper than Gu Youyou, and naturally, the clothes looked a bit small on her, but it wasn’t exactly ugly to say. It was obvious at a glance that they didn’t fit properly.

For a poor family, wearing clothes that were too big or too small was quite normal; after all, they didn’t have enough silver to constantly buy well-fitted clothes.

But for someone of the Princess’s status and position, stepping out in a dress that did not fit was surely inviting ridicule, especially when it had been forcibly stripped from someone else.

Yet, she was complacent and asked the palace attendants beside her.

"How do I look in this outfit compared to that lowly commoner?"

The palace attendants answered in unison, "The Princess’s grace is unparalleled. Compared to the Princess, that commoner is like mud to clouds."

Gu Youyou: "..."

There are eccentrics everywhere, especially in Beijing.

Seeing that Gu Youyou no longer resisted, Jin Fengzhao’s eyes were even more filled with surprise. Perhaps this woman also thought that the clothes looked much better on herself than on Gu Youyou.

She narrowed her eyes and shouted, "Un-gag her."

The cloth that had been stuffed in Gu Youyou’s mouth was removed, and though she had had plenty to say just a moment ago, she suddenly didn’t know what would be appropriate.

This... what should she say now?

"How is it?" She turned around in a circle.

Gu Youyou’s mouth twitched as she said, "My opinion doesn’t count. Why don’t you wear it and take a stroll in the Imperial Garden?"

Jin Fengzhao’s face stiffened instantly, then her expression turned cold as she furiously said, "Pin this lowly commoner to the ground and bring the paddle."

Gu Youyou thought, damn, this woman’s moody and unpredictable behavior was impossible to understand.

There wasn’t anything especially wrong with what she said, was there? Then why did it bring on another beating with the board?

"Hey, hey, I haven’t offended you, and yet you’ve stripped off my clothes."

"Daring to say I don’t look good in this is offending me."

"I didn’t say you didn’t look good..."

"If you didn’t say I looked good, it means you think I don’t look good."

Gu Youyou: "..."

After being stripped of her clothes and left in her white undergarments, she was now being pinned to the ground. Two imposing wet nurses had already brought the paddle, ready to start smacking her on the rear, just awaiting Jin Fengzhao’s command.

A chill went through Gu Youyou’s heart, and she suddenly recalled the palace maidens in television dramas who were beaten to death with paddles. It was true that, for people like them, squashing a servant was as easy as stepping on an ant—no reason needed at all.

But Gu Youyou knew she would not die here today. Auntie Li would definitely have gone to the Empress Dowager by now, the Empress would be somewhere nearby too, her rescue was surely on its way.
