"yes!"

Ye Lanyin smiled.

The Marquis of Zhenbei only loved himself.

The fact that Lin Shiming did this not only disgraces the Marquis's mansion, but also jeopardizes Lin Shixuan's future. How can his eldest son, on whom he has placed so much hope, be ruined because of Lin Shiming?

Zou Shuang'er wanted to continue protecting them, but unfortunately, she was no match for the maids and was pulled away.

"Lin Shiming's actions today not only tarnish the reputation of my Marquis's mansion, but he is also doing such a thing at such a young age. What will he be like when he grows up?"

"None of you are allowed to plead for him. Today, I would not be too much to beat him to death!"

“Our Marquis’s family has finally transitioned from the path of commerce to the path of officialdom. How can we let this rebellious son ruin it? Your elder brother is studying hard for the imperial examinations, and you are dragging him down.”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He roared, "Beat him! Give him a good beating!"

"Yes, sir."

Linlin Shixuan's whimpering cries echoed in the courtyard again, and the maids shrank back in fear.

a long time.

The thirty lashes were finally finished.

Ye Lanyin ran over crying, helped Lin Shiming down from the chair, and hugged him.

"My child, today your father is teaching you a lesson. Remember this: never again cause a death, understand?"

"It hurts a mother's heart to hit her son, Shiming. Do you know how much pain your mother is in?"

Lin Shiming was moved to tears by her words.

He then weakly reached out and hugged Ye Lanyin, saying, "Mother, I will never dare to do it again."

Ye Lanyin wiped the tears from his face and then sobbed.

"Good, good child, don't be afraid. Mother is here, and Mother will protect you. You will have to kneel in the ancestral hall later. Don't worry, Mother will have the doctor apply medicine to you secretly. Just bear with it for now."

"Your father will release you after the punishment is over."

Lin Shiming closed his eyes and nodded, tears streaming down his face.

Oh, it has to be my mother!

Hehe, that's quite the way to win people over.

Upon hearing those innermost thoughts, Ye Lanyin almost couldn't keep up the act anymore.
