Wen Xin didn't say anything, but thought, her eyes falling on Chu Han's face which was still frosty. She really didn't understand what the purpose of asking her and Bo Jingshen to worship their ancestors on the 29th day of the lunar year was.
She also couldn't believe that Chu Han would give in so quickly.
With uneasy hearts, everyone followed Chu Han to the Jun family ancestral hall.
There is a backyard leading to the ancestral hall. In the huge backyard, servants coming and going are pruning branches and sweeping leaves. When they see a large group of people coming, they just lean forward slightly, and then wait for Jun Mohan and others to leave before continuing with their work.
Seeing them walking away, the two maids couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Is this lady really willing to accept that illegitimate child and the poor cleaning lady as her daughter-in-law?"
"I think so! Impossible. Madam is so strong-willed. How could she let it go so easily after being slapped in the face?"
"I saw Madam crying alone in the ancestral hall last night. This is not a simple matter."
"It's possible that the lady made a compromise in order to save the family, and it's not a bad idea to accept them."
Aunt Fu came over and scolded, "Are you the ones who comment on the master's affairs?"
The two servants were so scared that they shut up and started doing their own things.
Aunt Fu sighed and held the whip in her hand. Why didn’t she want to go to the ancestral hall?
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Chu Han pointed at the tablets and said coldly, "Wen Xin, you are pregnant, so you don't have to kneel. Just bow three times, introduce yourself, and burn incense to the ancestors."
Wen Xin looked at Jun Mohan, and Jun Mohan nodded.
Wen Xin offered incense, knelt down and kowtowed, then said: "Jun family ancestors, I am Jun Mohan's wife Wen Xin, I am honored to be a family, in the days to come, Jun Mohan and I will treat each other with respect and protect the Jun family together."
Jun Mohan helped Wen Xin up and stepped aside.
Chu Han looked at Bo Jingshen, his tone slightly cold, "It's your turn, but I have something to deal with before you."
Everyone looked at her, not knowing what she wanted to do. Chu Han turned around and looked at Aunt Fu outside the ancestral hall.
"Aunt Fu, bring the whip."
As Aunt Fu walked in, a red whip swayed with her steps.
Jun Mohan and Jun Chang frowned at the same time.
The Jun family rules state that one must not use a whip unless it is absolutely necessary. Now Chu Han has asked someone to bring a whip, and I don't know who he wants to punish.
Jun Chang was slightly angry, "What are you going to do?"
Chu Han ignored him, knelt down indifferently, and put his hands on his forehead.
One, two, three times.
"Your ancestors of the Jun family, I, Chu Han, was not good at judging people and failed to control my man, allowing him to be fickle outside and have a child. I came here today to accept the punishment."
Her words made everyone gasp, and the already quiet ancestral hall became even more tense.
Bo Xue nervously grabbed Bo Jingshen. Chu Han was making an example of her to force her to take the blame for bullying the eldest lady.
Chu Han ordered, "Aunt Fu, you come and fight."
"this......"
Aunt Fu looked at Jun Chang with a gloomy face and did not dare to step forward. She thought Chu Han asked her to beat Bo Jingshen, but she did not expect that he wanted to beat Chu Han herself.
How dare she?
"Why are you still standing there?"
“Hit him!”
Chu Han roared, which frightened Aunt Fu, and she slowly walked forward.
"According to the clan whip, I will give you twenty lashes. No mercy. If I die, it has nothing to do with you."
Jun Mohan said in a deep voice: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"It's New Year's Day, can't you just calm down for a moment? You won't be satisfied until your family is torn apart."
Noila Mo cried, “Mom, don’t do this, please.”
"Hit her!" Chu Han was furious, his eyes falling on Aunt Fu.
Aunt Fu raised the whip and lashed at Chu Han. The sound of the whip echoed in the huge ancestral hall, which was so shocking that everyone held their breath and dared not speak.
As the whip came down again and again, Chu Han gritted his teeth in pain, his face covered in cold sweat.
It really hurts, but compared to the heartache, this little injury is nothing.
She just wanted to let everyone present know that she, Chu Han, was forced to death by these people.
“That’s enough!”
Jun Chang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he growled and grabbed the whip. His well-maintained face seemed to look much older now.
"Hit me, hit me."
Chu Han roared again, leaned over with red eyes and endured the whipping.
Twenty lashes of the whip fell, and Chu Han's back was covered in blood.
Bo Jingshen's eyes were gloomy. He knew Chu Han's intention. It was a good move of retreating to advance and forcing him to leave.
This woman openly admitted that she was blind, but in reality she was scolding herself for being a bully.
I thought the matter was over, but Chu Han continued, "At the beginning, I fell in love with a married man and designed to make Bo Xue leave with the baby in her belly. It was wrong. I deserved it. As a result, the man didn't love me, the family was not harmonious, and the child didn't get close to me."
"I will accept the punishment today. I will be beaten again. Twenty lashes."
"Are you crazy?" Jun Chang roared, grabbing the whip and ready to throw it.
Chu Han was furious and climbed up regardless of the pain in his body. "Today is my business. If you insist on intervening, don't regret it."
“Get out of the way!”
Jun Chang was pushed away. Chu Han picked up the whip on the ground and threw it to Aunt Fu, "Beat him."
If you are stubborn, I will whip you ten times.
Chu Han's face turned pale and she almost fell down. Blood came out of her mouth. She looked at her husband, son and daughter, but no one came forward to plead for her.
My heart was torn apart again.
Bo Jingshen's clenched fist gradually loosened and then clenched again.
Just when the last ten whips were about to fall, Bo Jingshen walked over and used his body to block the incoming whips.
The whip landed on his back, but he made no sound.
Bo Xue screamed in fear, "Son, are you okay?"
"fine."
Chu Han looked at the bloodstain on Bo Jingshen's back in shock. The bloodstain looked like a long centipede, which was shocking.
The tears in her eyes seemed to be burned by something, and she gasped in pain.
She looked at her son and husband beside her, it was ridiculous...
Jun Mohan didn't move.
Jun Chang didn't stop him.
Jun Morou didn't move.
Jun Moxiao still didn't move.
And this illegitimate son whom she had always looked down upon actually took the whip for her.
Bo Jingshen said in a deep voice: "Aunt Fu, I will take the next ten lashes, hit me!"
Everyone looked at him.
Chu Han said coldly: "Don't mind your own business."
Bo Jingshen turned around and said in a deep voice: "Don't you just want to force me and my mother to leave?"
"Don't worry, after these ten lashes, I will take my mother away immediately."
"From now on I will never set foot in the imperial capital again, and I will never be a nuisance to you."
Bo Xue wiped her tears quietly and glanced at Jun Chang, "Go ahead and beat me! I owe your wife these ten lashes."
Chu Han was touched by his words and watched the whip fall on Bo Jingshen.
She was silent...
Bo Jingshen left with blood, and Jun Mohan said in a deep voice: "Mom, this is why you asked us to go home for the New Year."
"It's a good year, but you want to destroy our family."
"In that case, there is no need for us to celebrate the New Year here."
After saying that, he walked towards Wen Xin and said, "Let's go."
Chu Han stood up and said, "Wait a moment."
After saying this, Chu Han ran out dragging his injured body.
At this time, Bo Jingshen was helping Bo Xue get into the car. The car started and Chu Han ran forward to block the car.
