Chapter 144 3 Big Boards [Today is the Goddess Chapter! 3 updates are here! 1st update! ]
Liu wanted to use this incident to punish the mother and daughter of the third room. After all, according to family rules, those who stir up trouble and frame relatives will be punished by being beaten.
She just wanted to see the third room's mother and daughter being beaten naked!
"My lord, Yingxue didn't mean it. Please forgive her." Liu begged for mercy.
Old Mrs. Kang also wanted to beg for mercy, but looking at the Marquis's expression, she knew that Su Yingxue would not be able to escape the family punishment today.
This is good. Su Yingxue's reputation has already been ruined, and now with this family rule, she can help the Su family restore some of its reputation.
After this matter is over, she will be sent to live in the ancestral temple, and the Su family will take good care of her for the rest of her life.
Su Lihan looked delighted.
Su Yingxue caused such a big disaster, bringing disgrace to the Su family and becoming a laughing stock among people in Beijing. She should be punished according to the family rules, not to mention that she also hurt her own mother!
Humph! It would be better to beat this vicious woman to death. At least this way, the family can be known as a strict family, and the reputation of these girls can also be better.
"Fifth girl, please plead for your elder sister. She really didn't mean it." Liu turned and looked at Su Lihan.
"Sister-in-law, Li Han dare not plead for your daughter. Your daughter almost killed me just now. I didn't go to the government to sue her. I have done my best."
Xiaokang covered her chest and walked out cautiously.
In fact, she felt severe pain with every step she took, but she still wanted to see how Su Yingxue was punished.
"Second brother's wife, Yingxue is your niece. She didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive her." Liu's heart skipped a beat. I thought Xiaokang didn't really want to go to the Jingzhao Yin to file a complaint.
"You want me to forgive her, then my blood was shed in vain? I can't do anything now, I can only rest. Does the medicine cost money?"
Xiaokang insisted on coming here for another purpose, which was to ask Liu for money. She couldn't bleed in vain.
Liu understood what she meant, but now in front of the head of the Marquis's Mansion, she couldn't say anything. Although she hated Xiaokang in her heart.
Among these people, only Su Qingwan calmly waited for the family law to be delivered. She glanced at Su Yingxue and found that she was actually looking at her.
Just look at it! It won’t make you lose any more meat if you are looked at twice more.
"My lord, the family rules are here." Xiao Si said.
The old marquis looked at Su Yingxue and said with heartache:
"Su Yingxue has done evil in the Song family. She has failed to live up to the teachings of the Marquisate. After being divorced and sent home, she became even more irritable and disrespectful to her elders. She will now be punished according to the family law. She will be dragged out and beaten with 20 sticks to serve as a warning to others."
"My Lord, twenty strokes of the cane is too little. People outside will only think that the Marquis's Mansion is perfunctory. No wonder the family tradition is not good."
Xiaokang wanted to break Su Yingxue's legs, but it was only twenty strokes, which was too easy.
Su Yunrou frowned.
"Second aunt, twenty strokes are enough. My eldest sister is a girl, and the punishment cannot be too severe."
"Xiaokang, please forgive others when you can." Liu gritted her teeth.
Jiang opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but gave up after thinking about it.
It's better not to help plead for mercy. Just now, the sister-in-law came towards me and Qingwan, as if she wanted them to be punished. Fortunately, the old marquis has a clear mind, otherwise they would be in trouble.
Su Qingwan was very satisfied with her mother's reaction.
In the past, when I told Jiang to be careful of the two sisters-in-law, Jiang always said that I was too suspicious, so she had to make arrangements slowly by herself. Now that Jiang has seen their ugly faces, she knows to be careful.
"Fourth girl, how many strokes do you think are appropriate?" asked the old marquis.
"Eighty-eight, I like this number."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone was silent. This was referring to the number of strokes, but it didn't allow you to say your favorite number.
Liu was so angry that if Su Yunrou hadn't held her back, she would have rushed up to teach Su Qingwan a lesson.
This vicious woman has such a cruel heart!
After being beaten with eighty-eight boards, can Su Yingxue still survive?
"In the eyes of the eldest aunt, there is no one who can tolerate any injustice. After what the eldest sister has done, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a vicious woman, an abandoned woman, and a shrew! You are the eldest sister's mother, and you are the mistress of the house. You should set an example and teach by words and deeds. But the eldest aunt first failed to teach her daughter well, then allowed her to commit crimes, and finally deliberately favored her, intending to reverse right and wrong! I think they should be punished together, otherwise it would be unfair!"
Su Qingwan had a righteous expression, then glanced at the mother and daughter of the second house, passed a look to them, and then said, "Second sister still wants to marry Prince Rui as a concubine. If Prince Rui and Concubine Shu knew that there was a divorced and abandoned vicious woman in the Marquis of Chengping Mansion, and this vicious woman is the sister of Second sister from the same mother, what would they think?"
Hearing Su Qingwan's words, the old marquis' pupils shrank and his body involuntarily stepped back a little.
Old Kang frowned. Su Qingwan was a person who spoke without restraint and had no manners. If she continued to talk like this, I'm afraid that the old marquis and Old Kang would not be able to escape the blame!
Liu was so angry that she fell backwards, and Su Yunrou's eyes flickered, and the hand that was supporting Liu tightened a little.
"This vicious woman should be beaten to death immediately. If she leaves behind trouble, how can she commit crimes in the future? Did my grandparents want to see my mother killed by this vicious woman?"
Su Lihan seized the opportunity and rushed forward and roared.
"Right, right, right! Sister-in-law, please stop favoring Su Yingxue. You are treating me like this, your elder. If you continue to indulge me, won't you end up causing a disaster? I am injured all over, and I am afraid I can't recover without ten thousand taels of silver!"
Xiaokang pointed at Su Yingxue and said angrily.
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, these eighty strokes of the cane are too many. You are trying to kill Yingxue! The old marquis has already punished her with twenty strokes of the cane and sent her to the family temple. Do you still question the old marquis's decision?"
Seeing that the second and third wives refused to give in, and Yun Rou seemed to be shaken, Liu burst into tears, looking pitiful.
She knew that if the second and third wives continued to insist on their crimes, the old marquis would definitely increase the punishment.
"You are the head of the family, my father-in-law, Yingxue's grandfather. Please love me and Yingxue. Yingxue is your closest flesh and blood!"
Liu's waist softened and she knelt on the ground.
"Yingxue was raised by you since she was a child. You know exactly what kind of person she is."
Seeing that the old marquis had softened his heart, Liu quickly changed her attitude and began to beg old Kang.
The meaning was very clear. Su Qingwan, that black-hearted bitch, said that she did not teach her daughter well, so she blamed the old marquis and Mrs. Kang!
"Please grandpa and grandma take care of my elder sister."
Su Yunrou also knelt down, looking very pitiful.
"aunt..."
Xiao Kang wanted to go up and talk to Lao Kang, but Lao Kang glared at her so hard that she was speechless.
This stupid thing was used as a gun by that sharp-tongued girl Su Qingwan without her knowing it!
"Children must be disciplined strictly and their character must be tested rigorously. This is how my father disciplined me since I was young. I believe my grandfather was also a man of integrity and strict management of the family."
Su Qingwan curled her lips, knowing that eighty strokes of the brush was impossible, but she would try to get as many as possible based on twenty strokes.
After all, old Kang is the mother of the first and second wives, and the old marquis is also a biased person!
The old marquis closed his eyes, sighed, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Thirty strokes of the cane, start."
Su Yingxue was dragged out, and when she passed by Su Qingwan, she suddenly asked loudly:
"You did it on purpose, did you? Did you go to the Song family on purpose to support me?"
"Yes! I went there to support you, but I didn't know what you had done. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone!" Su Qingwan was full of disgust.
She had known about what Su Yingxue had done for a long time. She went there just to make the Song family decide to divorce her. And look, she had done a great job!
The Song family did a great job too!
Her grandfather's reaction was also within her expectations.
Su Yingxue continued to question loudly, but was dragged out anyway.
In an instant, the sound of hitting a board was heard outside, along with Su Yingxue's wailing.
"Ah! Mom, help me, it hurts!"
"Wuwuwu... Let me go, you bunch of slaves, let me go quickly, don't hit me..."
"Ah!"
The sound of the boards falling continuously, thirty boards were hit very cleanly.
When it was over, everyone went outside to watch, and saw Su Yingxue being beaten and bleeding, with a blood mist behind her, staining her clothes red.
Mrs. Liu let out a loud cry and crawled over to see her eldest daughter. Su Yunrou quickly followed.
She saw that Su Yingxue's eyes were closed and she didn't know whether she was dead or not, so she reached out her hand and tested her nose.
"Mom, my elder sister fainted." Su Yunrou said, feeling a little disappointed.
It would be a relief if my eldest sister was beaten to death. I could then work on my own and throw the dirty water back at the Song family. But that is no longer possible now.
"Let the doctor check her out, and then send her directly to the family temple. From now on, she is no longer a member of our mansion." The old marquis said bluntly.
Su Qingwan sighed, what an unexpected gain!
Su Yingxue was actually going to be sent to the ancestral temple, but due to her condition, she couldn't survive going there.
"My lord, you can't do this. Yingxue is my daughter. She has been bullied by the Song family, and now she is being bullied by her own people. How can she live in the future?" Liu said sadly.
She hated the Song family for humiliating her daughter, and she also hated the Su family for not being able to protect their own family and allowing others to bully them.
"Going to the family temple is her only way out. In her current condition, can she still live in the Marquis' Mansion? Liu, even if you don't consider other people in the Marquis' Mansion, you should at least consider your two children. Their marriages haven't been decided yet!" Old Kang said directly.
Liu is a confused person. If she had handled yesterday's incident more decisively, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"You should stay out of the house these days to avoid being laughed at. Okay, let's all go!" The old marquis didn't want to listen to them anymore and waved his hand to let them leave.
Liu had no choice but to have Su Yingxue carried away.
Xiaokang naturally left as well. Although she was injured, she was in a good mood. After she had a rest, she went to ask Liu for compensation.
