Chapter 35 Zhang is punished

When Old Man Wen saw Zhang's expression, he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Madam, what did you do?" Old Man Wen questioned Zhang in a harsh and dangerous tone.

Zhang looked at Wen Rouqing, who was tied up tightly, then looked at Nie Chubai, and said stubbornly, "I didn't do anything. My daughter is the victim! What can I do?"

"The fourth girl is indeed a victim, because now the whole capital has spread that the fourth girl was abducted by bandits and has not returned for a day and a night."

Nie Chubai's words hit Zhang and Wen Rouqing's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Wenrouqing burst into tears immediately. She was finished. Her life was over.

"What did you say? Impossible! I silenced everyone long ago. There's no way this could get out. I know it was you! It was you, right? You were the one who let it get out?"

Zhang reacted very quickly and immediately knew that it was Nie Chubai who did it.

"You did this on purpose to avenge Wen Yingxue, didn't you?"

Nie Chubai said nothing, just stared at Zhang coldly.

Wenrouqing is Zhang's sweetheart. Zhang will only feel sad if something happens to Wenrouqing.

This is the lesson Nie Chubai taught Zhang.

Father Wen came over and grabbed the frantic Zhang. Unable to contain his anger, Wen said, "Wen Zhang! I'm asking you one last time, what on earth did you do behind my back?"

Nie Chubai waved his hand, and Ji Yan stepped forward and said, "Master Wen, Madam Wen planned to have the Sixth Young Miss and Concubine Lian kidnapped on the Dragon Boat Festival. Here are the confessions signed by those people and the money Madam Wen gave them."

Wu Nan handed a piece of paper to Old Man Wen.

Ji Yan continued, "Our general has arranged some personnel around the Sixth Miss since last time. When he heard the news, he temporarily brought the Fourth Miss and the concubine to live in the general's mansion."

After reading the confession, Old Man Wen slapped Zhang in the face.

"Bitch! Vicious woman! How could you do such a thing! I'm going to divorce you!"

Zhang covered her face and dared not speak anymore.

Now she is not in power in the Wen Mansion, and the Zhang Mansion has repeatedly wanted to make friends with Wen Yingxue. She has failed this time and can only accept it.

If the matter gets out of hand, not only will the Wen family no longer want her, but the Zhang family will probably abandon her as well.

"Master! I know I was wrong, but Rouqing is innocent. I did everything." Zhang looked at Wen Rouqing, whose eyes were red from crying, and said to Old Man Wen.

Nie Chubai said to Father Wen, "Master Wen, I wonder how this matter should be resolved? You know, if I hadn't sent someone to protect Xue'er, she would have been murdered by now."

Father Wen looked at Zhang furiously, kicked her twice, and then said to Nie Chubai, "General Nie, even if she made a big mistake, she is still my wife after all, and has been managing the Wen family for so many years.

How about giving her twenty lashes and sending her to the farm to recuperate?"

Nie Chu Baiye knew that Zhang had Lord Zhang behind her. Even if Zhang did something wrong, the Zhang family would never allow their daughter to be divorced.

Now Wenrouqing's reputation is completely ruined, and Zhang will also be sent to the farm. For them, mother and daughter, this is already a severe punishment.

At the very least, after these two people, it will be impossible for them to bully Wen Yingxue again.

"Lord Wen is very thoughtful, and I admire him. In that case, let my two guards administer the twenty lashes of the board to Madam Wen." Nie Chubai said to Old Man Wen, but his eyes were always on Zhang.

Any woman who dares to bully him must be taught a lesson.

Old Man Wen looked at the tall and strong Ji Yan and Wu Nan behind Nie Chubai and swallowed his saliva. It was obvious that these two men had strong hands. It was unknown whether Zhang would still be alive after twenty blows.

However, he knew that what Nie Chubai did today was entirely to vent his anger on Wen Yingxue, so he didn't dare to stop him.

"In that case, thank you, General Nie."

Nie Chubai nodded, Ji Yan and Wu Nan looked at each other, and resigned themselves to their fate and went to beat Zhang with the stick.

Who were these two? Any one of them would be ranked in the top ten in martial arts, yet they were asked to beat a woman with a stick.

They didn’t know whether the master was insulting them or not.

Just as Zhang was about to speak, Ji Yan pressed her mute point and she could not utter a single word.

Ji Yan and Wu Nan did not hurt Zhang's body at all, but they hit her where it hurt the most. After only ten hits, Zhang fainted from the pain.

After being beaten with twenty boards, Zhang only bled a little and the wounds were not serious, but her internal injuries were extremely serious, enough to cause her pain for several months.

"Master Wen, Xue'er and I are getting married in three months, but she's been through so much pain these past few days. I'm really worried about letting her stay in the Wen Mansion any longer.

How about this, let Xue'er and Auntie live in the General's Mansion for a while, and when they are ready to get married, I will send them back." Nie Chubai said.

Father Wen frowned and said, "Madam is wrong in this matter, but I have already punished her severely. After all, you and Xue'er are not married yet, so let her return to the Wen Mansion. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will not be good for her reputation."

Nie Chubai looked at Old Man Wen and said, "If it's not good to spread it, then don't spread it. Xue'er could lose her life if she lives in the Wen Mansion. I'm not married yet, so I don't want to be a widower."

Father Wen had a sullen look on his face, and then he sighed, "In that case, I'll have to trouble General Nie to take care of Xue'er and Aunt Lian."

Nie Chubai nodded, then left with his men.

Aunt Yang soon found out what had happened. She was extremely happy about Zhang's suicide. Now, Zhang would never jump out to compete with her for the right to be the housekeeper again.

In order to avoid any further complications, Aunt Yang quickly helped Zhang pack her luggage and sent her to the farm overnight.

Zhang was sent to the farm, and Wen Rouqing's reputation was ruined. She cried in her yard all day long, cursing Wen Yingxue, but she never came out.

The Wen family welcomed a long-awaited peaceful life. Most people were very happy.

But there were two people who were unhappy, Wen Yuanan and Wen Yuanming.

"Brother! What should we do now?" Wen Yuanming asked.

Before, Zhang was put in solitary confinement and Concubine Yang was the housekeeper. The two brothers were legitimate sons, and no one dared to neglect them.

But now they were both in a state of awkwardness. After all, Zhang had been sent to the manor as a punishment, and the power of the housekeeper was still in the hands of Concubine Yang.

In this way, no one can tell when Zhang will come back, or whether she can come back.

"There's nothing we can do. Aunt Yang is very powerful now. We can't confront her head-on. We can only avoid her temporarily." Wen Yuanan said.

"Then how long do we have to hide?"

Wen Yuanan patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Now we can only rely on Qiu Wei. If we both work hard and pass the exam, we can ask grandfather and father to bring mother back."

Wen Yuanming nodded and sighed, "In this way, Fourth Sister should be able to marry better in the future."

Thinking of their stupid and hindering fourth sister, the two miserable brothers looked at each other and sighed.
