However, in the next moment, she listened to another servant open their mouth and exclaim in shock after pointing at the ground beside her.
“Housekeeper Zong, quickly look! By the feet of the little fox, there are seven fruit sh.e.l.ls!”
“Uh…”
Hearing the servant's words, Su Jiujiu quickly lowered her head to take a look.
As expected, by her feet was the fruit sh.e.l.ls that she had thrown on the ground after she finished the fruits…
Now, both the person and the goods were present. Oh no, it's both the fox and the goods were present. Even if she wanted to act shamelessly, she couldn't.
Wu, wu, wu…
Thinking to this point, Su Jiujiu wanted to cry despite having no tears.
Had she known the background of this fruits tree was that huge, she wouldn't have eaten it.
While Su Jiujiu felt helpless in her heart, she watched as uncle Zong's gaze aimed towards her after hearing the servant's remark.
She felt that the gaze uncle Zong held towards her was extremely in shock and resent.
Su Jiujiu knew that uncle Zong will hate her a lot in the future.
She was unsure what uncle Zong will do to punish her right now?
When Su Jiujiu was trembling in her heart, she obviously didn't know the special status she held within everyone's hearts in the w.a.n.gFu.
Towards the little fox who dared to eat the Seven Colored Fruits, besides being angry about it, uncle Zong didn't dare to punish her.
If it was any other person who dared to eat the Seven Colored Fruits, that definitely was a disgraceful offense. Even if they weren't beaten to death, they would be beaten until they are disabled then tossed out of the w.a.n.gFu.
However, now…
Seeing this, uncle Zong opened his mouth. He yelled with a loud voice and a serious face on.
“Rock! Where is Rock?”
Along with uncle Zong's filled with furious and dignity roar, a voice mixed with anxiousness and panic rose from afar—
“Here, this servant is here!”
Besides Rock's anxious holler, only to see that Rock was like a burst of wind, climbing and rolling over.
Because he had run anxiously, on Rock's delicate and pretty face, his cheeks were bright red and made him look cute.
However, looking at the delicate and cute Rock, uncle Zong held a gloomy face. He opened his mouth, ordering.
“Servants, take Rock off and beat him with a wooden plank for 50 times!”
Once uncle Zong's words were out, Su Jiujiu was shocked in her heart. She widened her eyes and a look of surprise.
After all, she was the one in the wrong. How come they were beating Rock up?
Compared to Su Jiujiu whose face was shocked, Rock who hurried over was immediately dazed after uncle Zong's words.
After all, after he woke up, the little fox wasn't there anymore.
Seeing this, Rock was frightened.
After all, his responsibility was to serve that little fox inseparably. Now that the little fox was gone if something happened to the little fox, what was he going to say to w.a.n.gye?!
Therefore, Rock rapidly went to look for the little fox, anxiously.
Who knew that he had just arrived by the garden when from afar, uncle Zong was calling his name. Therefore, Rock hurried over.
He wasn't even able to stand still when he listened as uncle Zong made such a command. Rock was now dazed.
“Housekeeper Zong, Zong, what did this servant do wrong?!”
Rock opened his mouth. Because he was afraid and shocked, the words came out stuttering and in phrases, not forming a sentence.
After all, it wasn't a child's play to endure 50 planks.
Normal people can't endure around 20 planks. If he really endured the 50 planks, even if he's not dead, he would become disabled ah!
Thinking to here, Rock's whole body shook due to fear. The face was even pale white like paper.
Compared to Rock who was stunned and afraid, uncle Zong's face was serious and grave.
“What mistake did you commit?! Okay, I will tell you. Looking after the little fox is your – Rock's job right?!”
“Uh, yes.”
Hearing uncle Zong's words, Rock immediately nodded his head.
Seeing this, uncle Zong continued to talk.
“Then there's nothing wrong in beating you. Do you know that this Seven Colored Tree was given as a tribute by Xiyi and there is only one tree? Today, the Emperor had gifted this to our w.a.n.gye. Plus, this Seven Colored Tree had the ability to resurrect people from the dead! Now, it is all eaten by this little fox! And you, you're the person responsible for looking after the little fox. Now, the little fox had made a mistake. Isn't the responsibility on you?!”
Hearing his remark, Rock was shocked. In his heart, he knew that he can't escape from this offense.
After all, this Seven Colored Tree was a tribute ah. Now that the tribute was ruined, although it wasn't his mistake, this responsibility was on him.
If it weren't that he didn't look after the little fox well enough then this matter wouldn't have occurred.
Rock knew that a great catastrophe befell him and he wasn't able to hide from this. Right then, he fell on the ground.
Although Rock was worth to be sympathized by others, uncle Zong didn't say anything more. After all, in the w.a.n.gFu, there were the w.a.n.gFu's rules.
Therefore, uncle Zong immediately let guards bring Rock down and planned to beat him with a plank.
But how could Su Jiujiu bare to see this?!
This fruit, it was her who had obviously eaten this! If they were to beat someone up, shouldn't it be her?
Although she was scared of pain the most as a person, she can't be that unloyal and watch as Rock was beaten up because of her!
Thinking to here, Su Jiujiu jumped in front of Rock. Then she stood up and raised her two arms.
“I am not letting you guys beat Rock up! I ate all these Seven Colored Fruits. I am the one who had done this so I will bear the responsibility. If you guys are going to beat someone up then beat me!”
Su Jiujiu opened her mouth, a look as though viewing death as home.
Compared to Su Jiujiu who treated death as her home, everyone else was flabbergasted. They stared dumbstruck at the little fox who suddenly jumped out and blocked in front of Rock.
Only to see that this small fox straightened her body then the two paws stretched out. On that furry and cute face, she held a persistent look.
Although everyone hadn't understood the little fox's words, looking at the little fox's actions, it wasn't hard to see that this little fox wanted to protect Rock.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised. Rock was even more touched.
Who knew that at this time, this little fox will jump in front to protect him.
