Xie Changning was a widow for over thirty years, pouring her heart and soul into raising all her children to become successful.
With a single imperial decree, the Xie family was condemned to ...
Chapter 74: Large-scale Teaching Scene
Wu said hurriedly, "Madam Hou has misunderstood. I definitely didn't mean that."
Xie Changning didn't respond to her at all. She looked at the little beasts with sharp eyes. Did they think that since Qin Kaiji and Wu were here, someone would support them?
In front of her, Qin Kaiji and Wu Shi are nothing?!
"Mother, there are outsiders here!" Shen Jingshu stomped her feet in anger. How could she teach her son in front of outsiders?
Little did she know that her words deeply hurt Wu's heart.
Wu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
How come she is an outsider???
Even Qin Kaiji felt uncomfortable after hearing this!
"Mother, please don't forget that you are the wife of Marquis Jing'an, not some country woman. You'd better not lose your composure, or you will be laughed at." Shen Zhiyan is different because he has some knowledge in his mind.
He was mocking Xie Changning!
Unlike Shen Zhizhou, who would just stiffen his neck and say, "We haven't done anything wrong, why should mother make us kneel down?"
"Why?" Xie Changning laughed. "Because I'm your mother. If I tell you to kneel, you must kneel. Otherwise, you're unfilial!"
That's why she still keeps these little beasts around.
As a mother, she is always right, and they can only obey!
Who can bear the burden of being labeled as unfilial?
No matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to kneel down to Xie Changning.
With a thud, all the little beasts fell to their knees on the ground.
At that moment, Wu's heart seemed to be cut by something. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, gritting her teeth in hatred.
These are her children. Why does Xie Changning treat them like this?
Under his wide sleeves, Qin Kaiji clenched his fists. Xie Changning scolded his child in front of him, which was a slap in his face!
"Do you know what you did wrong today?" Xie Changning picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and then looked at the little beasts and asked.
The three of them looked indignant, all pursed their lips, and no one spoke.
This was a silent confrontation with her.
Xie Changning likes their toughness. If they were just a bunch of softies, what would be the fun?
Qin Kaiji and Wu stood aside awkwardly. At this moment, they didn't know whether to speak or not, and neither of them had any intention of leaving.
In fact, this is abnormal.
If it were someone else, they would have left long ago after seeing this situation.
Xie Changning slowly stood up, dragging her gorgeous skirt as she walked step by step to the little beasts, "Who gave you the courage to question your own mother?"
Shen Jingshu couldn't help herself any longer, "It was obviously mother who made the mistake first, and she doesn't allow us to speak up?"
"Pa!" Xie Changning smiled faintly, and then a clear slap mark appeared on Shen Jingshu's face. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and even the pearl hairpin on her head was knocked to the ground.
"Mother, you beat me again for a disagreement. Do you still remember how many times you have beaten me in these days? Do you still consider me your daughter? I hate you!" Shen Jingshu covered her face and shed tears of humiliation.
Qin Kaiji's face darkened slightly.
"Ah..." Seeing her daughter being beaten, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but scream.
Xie Changning took in all their reactions.
It really proves the saying that when a child is beaten, the mother feels the pain.
From this, it can be seen that Shen Jingshu is not her daughter at all, otherwise why would Wu be so excited?
Shen Jingyun is naturally not one of them either.
Or maybe Huang's mother lied to her.
Or maybe Huang's mother doesn't know the truth.
"Does Madam Qin have any objection to the way I educate my own children?" She glanced at Wu indifferently.
Wu then realized she had lost her composure and quickly tried to make amends, "I'm sorry, it was my fault. The Marquis's wife is indeed from a military family, but she's a delicate girl. It would be terrible if she was really hurt."
Her heart was about to bleed.
Especially after hearing Shen Jingshu say that Xie Changning had beaten her more than once.
"Mrs. Qin is absolutely right." Xie Changning nodded in agreement, looking as if she was being taught a lesson.
Wu and Qin Kaiji thought that Xie Changning had taken their words to heart, and they both breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
Who would have thought that the next moment Xie Changning would directly pull out a whip. She looked at Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou coldly, and said confidently, "It's true that girls can't be beaten, but you don't have such scruples."
As she spoke, she turned her wrist and whipped Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou with the barbed whip.
After a few slaps, Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou fell to the ground, wailing non-stop. They had just been injured yesterday and had not yet healed. After a few whips, the two rolled on the ground in pain.
"You two little bastards, do you really think you have grown wings? How dare you contradict me, your mother? I think you are tired of living. Today I must teach you a lesson and let you know what the sky is high and the earth is thick. Let's see if you dare to contradict me in the future." Xie Changning said as he waved the whip in his hand.
Each whip was accurate and hit Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou.
"Ahhhh..." The two people were covered in blood and screamed heart-wrenchingly.
This was simply heartbreaking for Qin Kaiji and Wu. They never expected that Xie Changning would actually take out a whip and teach the two children a lesson in front of them.
How can they bear this?
Mrs. Wu's eyes turned red with heartache. At this moment, she just wanted to rush forward regardless of the consequences and protect her two children, but her reason told her not to do so.
Otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
With tears in her eyes, she asked Qin Kaiji what they should do now. Should they just watch the children get beaten?
She felt distressed, but didn't Qin Kaiji feel distressed too?
These are all his children, children he has high hopes for.
Xie Changning glanced at them, her eyes full of sneers. She wanted to see how long they could endure.
The reason why she asked them to come in was to let them watch this large-scale teaching scene.
"Mother, I beg you, please don't hit my second and third brothers anymore. They are both injured. If you continue like this, something bad will happen." Shen Jingshu rushed up and wanted to hug her.
A hint of coldness flashed across Xie Changning's eyes.
With a snap, the whip swept across Shen Jingshu's fair face, and her face was instantly torn into pieces, leaving a bloody whip mark.
"Ah... my face..." Shen Jingshu was trembling all over. She was about to reach the age of marriage, and she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if her face was ruined!
Which wealthy family would marry an unattractive woman?
At this time, she couldn't even cry, she just felt like the sky was falling.
Xie Changning did not stop, she was still teaching Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou a lesson.
Wu rushed to Shen Jingshu in one step, looked at her face carefully, and said distressedly: "Don't be afraid, my dear, it's just a minor injury. There are many imperial doctors in the palace who can definitely heal your face."
Shen Jingshu cried and threw herself into her arms, "Aunt, are you telling the truth?"
In front of Xie Changning, the two of them acted out a loving mother-daughter scene.
Qin Kaiji could no longer bear it. He grabbed the whip in Xie Changning's hand and said in a deep voice, "Enough!"
