"I took my brother out, so I'll be punished alone. Thirty lashes would be enough!" Jingjing cried out in pain, her buttocks were bruised and battered, but as the older sister, she had to endure it.

Lin Shufang, heartbroken, could only watch anxiously. Although she loved her child, she would never interfere when Lu Mo actually punished the child, and she would remain silent no matter how much it pained her.

This time, Anjing really caused a big disaster and almost lost her life. She deserves to be severely punished, but Lin Shufang still felt sorry for her. Seeing that Anjing was still arguing, she quickly shouted, "You think you're so smart? Stop talking."

She felt bad even if her grandson was whipped ten times, but it was still better than her granddaughter being whipped thirty times by herself. At least it would share some of the burden. Sigh, it broke her heart.

Ye Qingqing was also very distressed. Jingjing's pants were soaked with blood. However, Lu Mo knew how to use his strength and would definitely not damage her tendons, but her flesh would definitely suffer a lot and she would have to stay in bed for at least several days.

After twenty lashes, Jingjing's face was deathly pale, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, but she still stubbornly endured it and didn't utter a sound from beginning to end.

Although Lu Mo admired his daughter's strong will, he was also worried. Too much strength can lead to breakage, especially for a girl. He feared that Jingjing's marriage would be bumpy in the future, as most boys would not be able to handle her.

But it doesn't matter. His daughter can remain unmarried for life, as long as Jingjing lives a good life.

"If you do it again, I'll break your legs!" Lu Mo said coldly.

She lowered her head quietly, but felt a little resentful. The reason she was willing to be punished was because she had caused her brother's accident, not because she had run away from home. So, if she had the chance, she would still sneak out next time.

Even if it breaks her legs, she'll still run away. The world is so vast; she's determined to travel the entire universe in her lifetime.

"Alright, alright, Jingjing will definitely remember."

Lin Shufang came over to smooth things over, took her granddaughter's cold hand, and kept giving her meaningful glances, trying to get the girl to back down. Jingjing's bottom was hurting so badly that she couldn't even stand up, and she was naturally short of breath, so she obediently gave in.

"I know I was wrong."

Lu Mo's expression softened a bit, and he waved his hand, "Go!"

He just wanted to make a statement; the father's authority had to be established, otherwise the two children would become increasingly unruly and uncontrollable. But he also knew that this punishment alone would not be enough to restrain his daughter's wildness. This girl was the boldest and wildest of the three siblings, and if he didn't keep her in check now, who knew what she would become.

Lin Shufang picked up Jingjing and took her to the room to apply medicine. Ye Qingqing had already prepared the ointment. When they got to the room, Jingjing couldn't hold back anymore and kept moaning in pain. Lin Shufang cut her pants, revealing her little bottom, which was torn open and bleeding. It wasn't just three petals; it was all blooming.

"You think you're so smart? Taking your little brother to wander around the mountains in the middle of the night, you deserve to get a beating from your dad, you brat!"

Lin Shufang cursed and wiped away tears. The blows hit her granddaughter's body, but the pain was in her heart. Her heart was now broken into pieces.

"Ouch... Mom, be gentle!" Jingjing cried out.

Ye Qingqing was startled and softened her blows, but couldn't help scolding, "Serves you right! You give your little brother all sorts of food, good and bad. If your dad had arrived a moment later, your little brother wouldn't have survived. It's no wonder your dad hit you, and you still have the nerve to complain about the pain."

Although she scolded him, she was gentler, but the flesh was already cracked, so even the gentler touch still hurt a lot. After the medicine was applied and the bandage was wrapped, Ye Qingqing was exhausted and covered in sweat, but Jingjing fell asleep.
