"Twenty sticks are really too heavy." Gu Yunxie said seriously, his righteous words were as bright as the moon.

Even if you are in prison, there is a sentence, and exile for three thousand miles will not kill a person.

Mrs. Gu was stunned, thinking that Gu Yunxie was just a little girl, it was inevitable that her heart would soften.

Thinking Mrs. Gu was hesitating, Su Niang's disheartened eyes lit up with hope again, trembling.

"Third sister, this statement is wrong."

A gentle female voice retorted firmly, her voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it was powerful.

Gu Yunxi looked in Gu Yunzhen's direction in astonishment.

Gu Yunzhen stared at Gu Yunxie steadfastly, and said in an orderly manner: "Su Niang slave offends the master, and the offender is the one who commits the crime. If you can't be severely punished to warn others, wouldn't everyone have something to learn?!"

Following Gu Yunzhen's words and sentences, the shock in Gu Yunxie's eyes intensified, as if he didn't recognize her anymore.

Gu Yun is really a gentle person, and he has never been more kind to his servants. Gu Yunxi thought that at least she would stand on his side, and she would be the same as him.

Gu Yunxie asked with a dazed expression, "Elder Sister also thinks she should be beaten?"

"Of course." Gu Yunzhen nodded affirmatively.

She raised her finger to the teary-eyed Su Niang outside the house, and said firmly: "Grandfather once said that the way to be a king is to distinguish rewards and punishments, and you must not make troubles for selfishness, right and wrong."

"Does the third sister have selfish motives?"

Her tone has always been gentle, but the meaning of this last sentence is like a sharp sword.

"..." Gu Yunxie's eyes opened wider, as if a certain hidden illness on his body was suddenly exposed in broad daylight, and there was nowhere to hide.

Gu Yunxi subconsciously wanted to say no, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again, with a tangled expression.

Mrs. Gu pressed her palm and looked at her with comforting eyes, which meant that grandma knew it well.

Gu Yunxi pursed her lips, as if something was about to come out in her eyes, there was a sad emotion between her brows, and she didn't speak in the end.

And Su Niang fell into an ice cellar, the last flame of hope in her heart was extinguished, as if she had lost her soul and forgot to struggle.

The women rudely dragged Su Niang to the entrance of the yard.

Gu Yunxie helped Mrs. Gu to sit down at the top of the main room, looking at Gu Yunzhen with a calm face for a while, and then at Gu Yanfei who had already sat down to drink tea, as if she didn't care about the result.

Her eyes flickered several times quickly, and she was suffocating, asking herself: Is it because she has selfishness, or are they too cruel?

At this moment, Gu Yunxi felt out of place for the first time, and had a deep understanding for the first time: she is different from them...

"Snapped!"

The sound of boards coming from outside woke Gu Yunxie up suddenly, looking for his reputation.

The stick as thick as an arm hit the skin with a crackling sound, one after another, each stick was hit firmly and mercilessly, accompanied by the mother-in-law's loud counting sound: "One, two, three ..."

Su Niang was stripped of her trousers and pressed on a bench, most of her hair was loose in a messy bun, and even her hairpin fell to the ground, like a mad woman in a state of embarrassment.

There was a scream of pain from her mouth, and the sound was shrill, like thin needles piercing the softest part of Gu Yunxie's heart.

No matter how many faults Su Niang has, she is a good mother to herself.

Gu Yunwei lowered her head, her neatly manicured nails dug deeply into her tender palm, and the knuckles of her fingers were faintly white.

Mrs. Gu also saw Gu Yunxie's abnormal state, and sighed in her heart: her sister Xie is still too soft-hearted. After she married into Kang Wang's mansion, she would have to face these after all.

Mrs. Gu silently waved her hand, and Nanny Li immediately understood, and dismissed all the idlers around.

In the main room, only Mrs. Gu and Gu Yanfei, their grandparents and grandchildren were left.

The sound of sticks outside and Su Niang's screams never stopped, adding to the heavy atmosphere in the room.

Mrs. Gu said calmly: "Yan Fei, I know you hate Su Niang, this is also human nature, today grandma will let you vent your anger."

"but……"

Her voice suddenly turned cold, and she continued: "Of course Su Niang was wrong, but you must also remember that Yangzhou was in turmoil in the past. It was she who managed to survive through the sea of ​​swords and blood and brought you out of Yangzhou..."

"She was wrong, but she saved you and raised you. You should also be grateful. A girl's family can't be so hostile and kill indiscriminately, so as not to repay you."

Every word she said was heartbreaking, obviously she was beating Gu Yanfei, and at the same time, she rewarded Gu Yanfei with a sweet jujube, telling her to stop.

"Eleven, twelve..." The sound of counting outside continued uninterrupted, and it was clearly transmitted into the room.

Su Niang's screams became weaker and weaker, her bare buttocks were red and swollen from being beaten with sticks, and some young maids outside couldn't bear to look directly at her.

Gu Yanfei smiled lightly.

Mrs. Gu thought that Gu Yanfei would bow her head, and she also thought that she would just throw her face away and leave, but she didn't want Gu Yanfei to slightly nod her head and say: "I have received my instruction."

A shallow smile appeared on Gu Yanfei's face, leaning his elbows on the coffee table, and resting his chin with his right hand, he continued: "Don't be too hostile, Mrs. Tai, so as not to cause indiscriminate killings and suffer retribution in vain. .”

Mrs. Gu's face darkened immediately, and she reprimanded in a deep voice: "Presumptuous!"

She is her grandmother, she is the elder, and a junior actually scolds the elder! I really don't know the etiquette!

Gu Yanfei snapped her fingers and continued, "In June of this year, when Ziyu cut the nails for Mrs. Tai, blood came out. Mrs. Tai ordered to beat her for 30 times. After Ziyu was sent home, she was seriously injured. The more healed, the more talented people will be gone.”

"Last December, the servant book in the second uncle's study 'collided' with Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai ordered her to be dumb and sold out."

"Last July, the large storeroom in the inner courtyard fell into disrepair for a long time, and it happened that there was a thunderstorm and water leaked, which destroyed a lot of materials. Mrs. Tai ordered the He Danian family who guarded the storehouse that day to be punished with a cane, and he was beaten to death. "

"..."

Gu Yanfei's words echoed in the house, and the air in the main room gradually froze, as if a storm was about to come.

At this time, the woman outside also counted to "twenty", the sound of sticks stopped, and the courtyard also became quiet at the same time. Su Niang slumped on the bench like a dead fish, her hanging arms trembling slightly.

Inside and outside the house, everything is silent.

Mrs. Gu's face turned blue, white, and purple, and the colors changed wonderfully. Every word Gu Yanfei said seemed to slap her face, making her ears ringing.

Gu Yanfei chuckled lightly, and said, both true and false: "There is one thing that Juanbi just said was right. The prescription I gave to my eldest sister was given by Master Ling Xiao. When I was in Huaibei, Master Ling Xiao not only gave this Zhang Yangyan Shengfang, moreover, also taught me the ability of fortune-telling."

"How about I make a fortune for Mrs. Tai?"
