Hearing this, Gongshu Ye became instantly excited. His cousin was finally standing up for him.

"Cousin, come and save me!"

Gongshu Ye looked at the woman expectantly.

But the next second, the woman's words made him stunned.

"Gongshuye, what did you do to these four girls just now?"

Gongshu Ye never imagined that his cousin actually cared about what he did to others!

Now he has a knife at his neck, but his cousin doesn't care about him!

Gongshu Ye's expression suddenly became uncertain.

There was a long silence, and Gongshu Ye did not speak.

The woman frowned slightly, then turned to the man beside her and asked, "Gongshu Yun, you tell me!"

The man named Gongshu Yun was obviously more afraid of women.

When asked by the girl, he quickly confessed: "Gongshuye...he just wanted these four girls to be his girlfriends."

When the woman heard this answer, her face instantly turned cold.

Then she looked at Gongshuye with anger in her eyes and said, "Is what he said true?"

When asked this question, Gongshu Ye's expression became even uglier.

At this moment, Gongshu Ye pointed at the woman and cursed: "Gongshu Yuan, what qualifications do you have to question me! Don't forget how you became the clan leader. If my father didn't support you behind the scenes, you, an illegitimate daughter, would be qualified to be the clan leader!"

"I'm being held at knifepoint now, and you don't come to save me but instead you come to question me! What on earth are you thinking?"

At this time, Gongshu Yuan's face turned pale. She asked coldly: "I'm asking you for the last time, is what Gongshu Yun said true?"

"So what! I have already apologized, what else do you want me to do?" Gongshu Ye said righteously.

"Hmph! Just admit it. According to clan rules, anyone who molests a decent woman will be punished with twenty lashes and confinement for one month."

Gongshu Ye showed an expression of disbelief, and then his expression became extremely ferocious.

"Why are you punishing me?"

"Because I'm the clan leader!" Gongshu Yuan became even more powerful.

Gongshu Ye's momentum instantly weakened after hearing Gongshu Yuan's roar, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.

Bai Ze was watching the two of them from the side, and he had some understanding of the internal situation of the Gongshu clan.

People outside say that the Gongshu clan is extremely united, but now it seems that is not the case.

He looked at Gongshu Yuan quietly. Judging from her behavior, she should be a very upright person and should not have any connection with the Su family.

However, he could not draw a conclusion based on this and needed to observe further.

At this time, Gongshu Yuan also looked at Bai Ze, her tone softened a little, but her inherent pride remained.

"Sir, if this is the reason why I apologize to you on his behalf, please let him go now. I will definitely punish him severely and give you an explanation."

Although Gongshu Yuan's tone did not sound like an apology, the other party had also made his attitude clear. If he continued to hold on to it, he would really anger the other party.

So Bai Ze put the dagger away.

Seeing this, Gongshu Yuan smiled slightly, clasped his fists towards Bai Ze and said, "Thank you very much."

Then, Gongshu Yuan ordered Gongshu Yun beside him: "Go and get the law enforcement whip!"

Gongshu Yun's body trembled slightly. He glanced at Gongshu Ye, then gritted his teeth and ran out.

Gongshu Ye widened his eyes and glared at Gongshu Yuan.

He couldn't believe that his cousin was going to punish him in front of outsiders. How could he save his dignity?

"Gongshu Yuan, how dare you do this to me!"

"Why not? Clan rules are clan rules. Even if I violate them, I can be punished in public!"

"Okay, okay, you wait!" Gongshu Ye said gritting his teeth.

Not long after, Gongshu Yun came back, but behind him was a middle-aged man.

When Gongshu Yuan saw the person coming, her brows slightly furrowed.

Then she glared at Gongshu Yun.

Gongshu Yun paused, then walked up to Gongshu Yuan with his head held high.

When he came up to Gongshu Yuan, he whispered, "Patriarch, I didn't call Uncle Yao here."

"Get out of the way." Gongshu Yuan took the whip from his hand and said unhappily.

Soon, the middle-aged man also came over.

The most excited person was Gongshu Ye.

"Dad, come and save me, my cousin is going to beat me!"

The person who came was Gongshu Ye's father, Gongshu Yao.

Gongshu Yao came up and glared at his disappointing son.

Then he put on a smiling face and looked at Gongshu Yuan.

"Niece, no matter what mistakes my son made, don't punish him in front of outsiders. It's better for us to solve our family's problems privately and not let outsiders laugh at us. Don't you think this makes sense?"

"Uncle Yao, your son has violated the clan rules. I am following the clan rules now. Please don't stop me."

Hearing this, Gongshu Yao's eyelids twitched slightly. After two seconds of silence, Gongshu Yao smiled and said, "Haha, Yuan girl has really grown up. I will feel relieved to hand over the Gongshu family to you in the future. It will be worth it for me to support you so much in the beginning."

Gongshu Yao emphasized the last sentence with particular emphasis.

Gongshu Yuan's expression changed slightly. She naturally understood what the other party meant. However, she could not bend the law for personal gain. If so, how could she manage the huge Gongshu clan? So, Gongshu Yuan said without giving in: "Uncle Yao, I remember all your kindness to me, but clan rules are clan rules. If he can be exempted from punishment just because he is your son, then what is the point of these rules?"

"You..." Gongshu Yao's face suddenly turned red with anger.
