Mo Bici looked up and glared at Mo Yunzhao with hatred, questioning, "Since there is no distinction, what about Mo Yunlan? She should also serve you as a servant, just like us."

“She is my own elder sister, so she is different from others. Besides…” Mo Yunzhao chuckled, “Whoever I want to be the master is the master.”

Mo Bici gritted her teeth in hatred, "You're being biased, you're humiliating our second branch of the family."

Mo Yunzhao slightly raised her chin, her beautiful eyes narrowed as she glanced at her, "Yes, it's bias, it's bullying you, what can you do about it?"

Mo Bici was furious at his frank admission and clenched her fists, ready to rush up and punch him.

Mo Yunlan and the other two immediately stood up, their faces contorted with murderous intent.

Mo Jinghao quickly pulled Mo Bici back, "Kneel down."

Mo Bici was unwilling to kneel, but her calf was kicked, forcing her to kneel down.

She tried to struggle, but Mo Jinghao held her down, saying, "Quickly apologize to the city lord."

Mo Bici could no longer contain her anger, and her stubbornness flared up, "No, I did nothing wrong."

Mo Jinghao had a terrible headache, but he had no choice but to endure the pain in his buttocks and pull Qian Shi down to kneel down with him.

"Lord, Ci'er is young and spoke recklessly. Please punish her." He said, while still pressing down on Mo Bici tightly.

But Mo Bici, stubborn as ever, insisted that she had done nothing wrong and refused to plead guilty.

"Then let's give him a hundred lashes," Mo Yunzhao said quietly.

Unwilling to endure this humiliation, Mo Bici abruptly broke free from Mo Jinghao's restraining hand and stood up angrily.

"Mo Yunzhao, you have no right to punish me. I already asked to leave the manor yesterday."

Mo Yunzhao scoffed, "As long as you are in Moyang City, I, the city lord, have the right to punish you. If you don't want this blessing, remove yourself from the family register and change your household registration."

Mo Bici was not afraid at all, and retorted with a sneer: "Mo Yunzhao, what else can you do besides this move?"

"Besides using your status as the city lord to intimidate people and using household registration to bluff them, what else can you do?"

"He's just a blind man, a good-for-nothing..."

A powerful pressure, like a jack, pressed down.

Mo Bici couldn't utter the rest of her words; her face turned deathly pale, and she was drenched in cold sweat.

Qian Shi and Fu Liu, who had no spiritual power whatsoever, were limp and panting heavily.

Mo Jinghao's legs were trembling, and if it weren't for his spiritual power protecting him, he would have knelt down as well.

Mo Yunlan was sitting, but she was still tense all over by the oppressive aura, using her strength to resist it.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Yunzhao withdrew his oppressive aura.

Some were kneeling, some were limp, and some were panting heavily, but their faces were covered in sweat.

"This city lord also knows how to kill," Mo Yunzhao said calmly.

Mo Bici knelt on the ground, panting heavily, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Mo Yunzhao.

But in the end, he didn't dare to speak.

“Give him a hundred lashes, then kick him out of the mansion. Whoever pleads for him will have to leave with him.”

Mo Jinghao pulled Qian Shi aside and said, "My husband and I will take the punishment of one hundred strokes on behalf of Ci'er."

Mo Yunzhao said calmly, "The punishment will be doubled, two hundred strokes."

Mo Jinghao choked for a moment, then dared not say anything more about taking the punishment in lieu of punishment.

Two hundred strokes of the cane, all three of them sharing the burden, would have taken half their lives.

He wanted his trusted confidants to do the beating, so that they would at least save some strength and not hit too hard.

But Mo Yunzhao just sat there in the armchair, watching as the servants of Zhaotian Garden beat him, without any favoritism.

Mo Bici was pinned to the ground, staring at Mo Yunzhao with resentment.

That was hatred.

I hate it so much.

"Take your pants off and we'll fight," Mo Yunzhao said casually.
