Chapter 64
"What do you think, ma'am?"
Xue Wuliang's expression looked like he wanted people to praise him.
Luo Wendi smiled: "Do you really treat it like a bastard?"
"It doesn't make any difference," Xue Wuliang looked around, not seeing anyone he liked, and cursed, "If I had known they were all like this, I wouldn't have wanted any of them."
That's what I said.
The young masters were all in a panic, not knowing how they had offended this old man again.
People outside say that the young masters of Tongcai Villa are of the same blood and have very good relationships. They are like children of the same mother but better than those of the same mother. But is it true?
It's all bullshit. If they want to plot against each other, they have to be brave enough.
The old man is extremely righteous to outsiders. He thinks all the children of his brothers are treasures, but when it comes to his own sons, he just doesn't like them at all. He thinks they are all bastards, and wild bastards at that. He won't feel sorry even if he beats them to death.
Only those bastards who are friendly and respectful to their brothers can be tolerated. What else can they do? They can only pretend.
And he is biased.
Don’t be fooled by what I just said, it’s actually biased towards Lao Liu.
How can solitary confinement, which is painless, be the same as caning?
After all, it was my wife's child.
They were so upset that their teeth were about to fall out, but they still had to bite the bullet and beg for mercy.
Xue Wuliang glanced at them and asked, "Are you feeling bad? Fifty for each of them?"
No need to do that!
The third young master, who stood up first, wished he could jump to the end with a big jump.
They are flesh and blood bastards, not iron-clad dummies. Fifty per person? He really dares to say that.
"Father..." the most honest second son said with a pale face, "If you want to hit me, then... then hit... just hit my son."
He stammered and looked like he was almost scared to death.
He really meant it.
Xue Wuliang still disliked him and said, "Get lost! Speak with more courage next time."
The Second Young Master was a little slow to react, and the Third Young Master suppressed his bitterness and whispered, "Second Brother, Father won't punish you. Go quickly, there's no need to worry."
"Hey? Hey! Hey!" The second young master walked out worriedly, looking back every few steps. It seemed that he was still very worried.
Xue Wuliang ignored him and glared at the Third Young Master again: "Forget about the others, you will take ten strokes of the cane."
Third Young Master: It's incomprehensible! It's absolutely incomprehensible!
"Father! What did your son do wrong?"
Xue Wuliang snorted coldly, "Don't you know how to transmit secret messages? Why do you need to remind me so obviously? Who are you telling it to? Just pretend and get another ten strokes of the cane!"
Third Young Master: I’m so wronged! I’m so wronged! Isn’t that what you like?
He was treacherous, saying, "My son knows his mistake."
But his eyes were fixed on Luo Wendi, and then he was glared at by Xue Wuliang.
Before he turned 20, the Third Young Master had decisively become depressed. It wasn't worth it...
Xue Wuliang retracted his fierce gaze and asked again, "Madam, do you think there's something wrong?"
Luo Wendi: "Can't you feel it yourself?"
Xue Wuliang thought about it for a moment, and felt a little reluctant: "They were all born by their father and raised by their mother..."
He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's give these maids and servants fifty strokes of the cane. If they die, we'll bury them properly. If they're still alive, we'll sell them off. Is this okay with you, Madam?"
Luo Wendi sighed and said, "Your son was also born and raised by his mother. Eleventh has already been beaten. Thirty will be beaten, and then Sixth...Fifty. He will be grounded for six months. No matter what you are planning, you are not allowed to come to Liao'e Courtyard again. Stay away from Seventeenth. Third..."
The third young master looked expectant.
Luo Wendi frowned. "You're unlucky. The others will kneel in the ancestral hall, but each of you will copy the scripture ten times. Remember today's lesson, and also remember that you are brothers."
Everyone's expression was startled, and they all responded in unison, "I will accept your instruction."
Luo Wendi asked without any sincerity, "What do you think, Master?"
Xue Wuliang curled his lips and said, "They are lucky. Madam will decide everything else, but regarding Old Six... well, go ahead and beat him. If you don't feel bad, why should I feel bad?"
He looked unhappy and got up and left.
Luo Wendi didn't bother to pay attention to him. Zheng Xiaoniang secretly curled her lips, and her sons were really relieved.
The servants gagged and dragged away the person who was to be punished.
Luo Wendi said again:
"Now that we've discussed punishments, let's move on to rewards. Seventeen's maids are all good; each will receive a reward of ten taels of gold and five pieces of satin for serving your young master well. Doctor Sun has also worked hard, so give him the same reward. Sixth and Eleventh will contribute this money. As for Doctor Wei, he's truly suffered an undeserved disaster. I'll keep that wicked boy under control and prevent him from bothering you again. I've also prepared some small gifts to express my apology."
Doctor Wei stood up and pointed at Shen Jiao, saying in a hoarse voice, "Madam, you are too polite. The gift is really unnecessary. I just want her to pay me back."
"That girl is also eager to protect her master..."
Doctor Wei said in a strong voice, "She wanted to strangle me to death. She strangled me to death without saying a word. She strangled me to death without asking any questions. Why shouldn't she pay me? She has to pay me, or I will sue her at Tongcaifang!"
"Well...whatever...how much does Doctor Wei want her to pay?"
"Ten ounces of gold and five pieces of satin," Doctor Wei added, "and please, Madam, do not give her any more rewards, to prevent her from committing such evil deeds again."
Shen Jiao: ...How vicious! My service was in vain.
Luo Wendi: ...There are so many things to do, it's all my business.
"As you wish, sir."
"And apologize!"
Shen Jiao: Why don’t I strangle him to death?
Luo Wendi: There’s no need for me to call him over.
"Shen Jiao, apologize to Doctor Wei. Our Tongcai Villa is a place where reason prevails. Next time, we must ask for the reason. He was only dragged here by Lao Liu to receive treatment. He is not here to harm anyone."
"Yes." Shen Jiao walked up to Doctor Wei and apologized to him respectfully, his guilt evident in his words.
Doctor Wei also accepted it.
This matter is over.
The young masters also said they wanted to see Xue Shun, but were also sent away by Luo Wendi. He was still in a coma, so what was there to see? Just keep quiet.
The yard was empty.
Qiongzhi came close to Shen Jiao and said, "Don't be sad, sister. I can give you half of my reward."
Shen Jiao wasn't very interested: "Keep it for yourself."
She will take back her reward with her own hands.
Shen Jiao turned her head and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
If he doesn't leave, how can Shen Jiao go down the mountain and disguise himself to rob him?
Doctor Wei had already received the money and the things, and now he stretched out his hand with confidence and said, "Give me two coins of silver."
"Why?" Qiongzhi was furious. "I've already apologized to you, are you still trying to blackmail me?"
"I, Wei, am a man of integrity. How could I behave like this? These two cents are for the consultation fee," Doctor Wei said hesitantly. "Logically, I don't want to come, but since I'm here, and doctors have a kind heart, I'd better see you before I leave."
Shen Jiao: "You're a kind-hearted doctor, yet you still charge two cents? Who else charges that much for a consultation?"
"For ordinary patients, I only charge two cents, for wealthy families, two cents, and for those with less moral integrity, two hundred. The price is clearly marked, and I do not cheat anyone. Young lady, if you don't know the truth, you shouldn't speak carelessly. It seems that this apology is still too little."
He said with regret...
