The old man turned his head and sighed, looked at He Xiuqing on the ground, and then at his wife who was sitting aside without saying a word, and finally shook his head in disappointment.
"Leave this matter to your mother. She is the one who suffered for this matter! From now on, I don't have this daughter anymore!"
After saying that, the old man shook his sleeves and walked out of Lanxiangyuan in despair!
He Xiuqing also fell to the ground in disappointment. As expected, her father didn't care about her life or death at all, so he just handed herself over to this vicious woman!
How could this poisonous woman leave a way for herself to survive if she was so evil-hearted? She just wished that she would die early so that she could eradicate the root cause!
Thinking about He Xiuqing, she laughed at herself. It seemed that she was right to have no hope for this family from the beginning!
"Mom, what do you think?" He Renyu watched his father go out, then turned to the old lady and asked.
The old lady was very calm, stood up slowly, and walked towards He Xiuqing.
"Your aunt left you a letter and put it in the compartment of the dressing table in her room. You can go and read it before talking about it!"
After saying that, the old lady asked the servant to take He Xiuqing to Aunt Liu's room!
About two-quarters of an hour later, He Xiuqing returned to Lanxiang Courtyard with two thin chapters of paper in his hand!
It's true, my mother is really... because she doesn't follow the rules of women, but what does this mean for her hard-working revenge plan
Why didn't Mom tell her? Why! He Xiuqing looked distressed.
"Okay! Now that you know how your mother died, I will not pursue what you did to me, but what you did to Chunfeng, her daughter, and Pingting will never be forgiven!"
The old lady can understand that she wants to avenge her mother, but she cannot tolerate anyone harming her children!
So He Xiuqing must be punished!
"Come here! Please help me!" the old lady shouted fiercely.
According to the laws of the He family, killing a close relative's siblings is a treasonous act. Those who are disobedient and unfilial will be punished with a hundred floggings, and their names will be removed from the family tree afterwards!
This is equivalent to being kicked out of the He Mansion and severing relations with He Xiuqing!
But how many people can survive those one hundred lashes? Even a strong man may not be able to bear it! What's more, He Xiuqing is a woman!
It seems that He Xiuqing is the first person to enjoy this family law. I don't know whether she is lucky or unlucky.
The night was already dark, and the Lanxiang Courtyard of the Protector's Mansion was brightly lit.
The woman who was tied up in the middle of the yard had no emotion on her face. Her eyes were always looking straight ahead, as if she could see everything through the vast night.
With a snap..., the soft leather whip hit the ground and made a crisp sound, like...
The wailing in the dark night was so sad.
The man holding the whip glanced at the old lady's expression. The old lady nodded slightly. The man was impressed and immediately turned around to take action.
The soft leather whip drew a graceful arc in the air and landed directly on He Xiuqing's chest. She grimaced in pain, but she gritted her teeth and did not scream!
Luo Yunyi, who was standing aside and trembling a little, heard the sound of the whip falling on his mother's body. His neck couldn't help but flinch, and he took a step back slightly, without any intention of interceding for his mother.
The two Chunfeng sisters and Chunfeng Niang both turned their heads unbearably.
He Renyu and his son frowned deeply, and it was hard to tell whether their eyes were filled with disgust or pity.
Only He Pingting kept staring at the scene of the blood gorilla. Although her body was shaking with fear, her eyes were shining with pleasure.
Beat her, beat her, it would be best to beat her to death. She wanted to peel off her skin, cramp her tendons, and drink her blood. This would not be enough to vent her hatred.
Wang was still staring at He Xiuqing fiercely, with the same hatred in her eyes.
It turns out that the reason why He Pingting's medicine turned into Wuhancao was because He Xiuqing secretly mixed the medicine.
Originally, he wanted to use this to prevent He Pingting from having a child, then frame Chunfeng, and expel their family from the Duke Protector's Mansion, so that his daughter, who had been raised in the Duke's Mansion for a long time, would become the most promising woman of the Duke Protector. Got it!
When her daughter ascends to a high position, and then slowly disintegrates the Duke's palace, she will not let any of these people go.
As a result, before she could be happy with her clever plan, her daughter was driven back, which she didn't expect.
In this regard, Chunfeng is even more regarded as a thorn in his side.
She was the one who planned the subsequent Piaoxiangju poisoning incident. It was only because the Li family members were too manipulative that they succeeded so easily.
But people who are easy to control are destined to be unreliable. As early as when Li Rushuang talked about Luo Yunyi in prison, Chunfeng noticed the problem.
This investigation just happened to find out the origin of the earring that was in the hands of the spring breeze messenger.
Coupled with the appearance of Qiu Xi, everything He Xiuqing did came to light.
In front of all the evidence, the old lady was furious. She was still thinking that she was of the blood of the He family and would forgive her, but she actually wanted to murder all the descendants of the He family. It was unforgivable!
...
When he persisted until the third whipping, He Xiuqing finally couldn't help but scream. The sharp and piercing scream was as miserable as the pain seeping into the bone marrow.
The whip was still swaying mercilessly, repeatedly making graceful arcs in the air, and falling hard on the woman.
Before the ten lashes had passed, the person fainted.
A basin of cold water was poured down on him, and He Xiuqing woke up again. The clothes on her body had been beaten to pieces and were oozing with blood.
Just when the man was about to take action again, a tall figure suddenly rushed in from the door.
He Xiuqing looked at the hurried figure, with a satisfied smile on her lips, and fainted again.
"Stop!" Luo Qifeng stood in front of He Xiuqing and said with a gloomy expression.
"Mother-in-law, I wonder what mistake Xiuqing has made that you want to treat her like this?" Luo Qifeng turned his head and looked at the old lady intently and asked.
"This is our family matter. Son-in-law Luo Xian should not interfere too much!" The old lady said coldly as she saw Luo Qifeng being angry at her and not being polite.
"What my mother-in-law said is that I, as a son-in-law, should not interfere with the family affairs of the Protector's Palace, but my wife's affairs are my business. They all say that you must obey your husband when you marry. Even if the wife has made any mistakes, she is now It's my Luo family, and it should be handled by my Luo family! Please take Xiuqing back to Qifeng and take care of it yourself."
Luo Qifeng seemed to be extraordinarily brave today, looking like a man who would protect his wife without hesitation, yet he dared to confront the old lady.
This would never have happened before, because the Luo family relied on the Duke's Mansion to achieve their current status.
It was too late for him, Luo Qifeng, to flatter the old lady. How could he be so 'outspoken' like today!
Seeing this scene, Chunfeng frowned in confusion...
