Chapter 337: Disrespect
Family rules, what the hell is this?
The people around the old lady walked into the upper room very quickly and took out a bamboo whip in less than a moment.
Even more terrifying than that are the benches and wooden boards.
This is a prop similar to the one used by the government to beat people with a stick. If Hu Xiner is beaten with a few sticks, she will not be able to keep the baby in her belly!
Hu Xiner never expected that the eldest wife would become so arrogant just because she was suspected of marrying a prince.
The old lady said coldly, "Hu Xin'er, you've committed such a serious crime. According to family rules, you must be whipped with a bamboo cane a hundred times and lashed with a big board fifty times!"
"Stop!" At this time, the second old lady and Chen also hurried over.
After seeing the various props in front of them, both of them showed shock on their faces. The second old lady even cursed directly: "What are you doing? Are you trying to force our second branch to death while the master is away?"
The old lady smiled wryly, "Sister, you are too kind. I am only enforcing the family rules."
"What kind of family law is this? What did Xin'er do wrong?" The second old lady's chest was heaving violently, and she couldn't even breathe.
Liu Zhi suddenly said, "A country bitch like her has been doing everything wrong since she stepped into our Liu Mansion!"
Liu Qingyi burst into tears: "I was almost killed by this vicious woman..."
There wasn't a single scar on her body.
However, she acted as if Hu Xin'er was chasing her with a knife, and she was extremely frightened and helpless.
Liu Zhi felt sorry for his daughter and warned Hu Xin'er arrogantly and viciously, "Do you know that Qingyi is going to marry the crown prince soon? If you bully her now, you're simply courting death!"
Liu Zhi felt that when Hu Xiner heard the news, she would be shocked and terrified like everyone else, and then rush over to curry favor with her.
But Hu Xin'er suddenly laughed: "Liu Qingyi, are you sure you want to marry the prince? Aren't you going to marry a eunuch?"
Upon hearing this vicious curse, Liu Zhi immediately burst into curses: "Well, Hu Xin'er, you've finally revealed your true colors. You actually cast such a vicious curse on your own sister! Quick, someone, drag this bitch over and punish her with the family rules!"
The second old lady said angrily, "Who dares?"
"What? You, a mere illegitimate daughter of the second branch, dare to give orders to our first branch?" The old lady did not give in.
The two men quarreled fiercely, and the servants on both sides glared at each other fiercely, and physical contact broke out from time to time.
Just as the commotion was in full swing, footsteps were suddenly heard. It was Lord Liu and Old Master Liu returning from court.
When the father and son saw the scene in the yard, they frowned in unison, but their reactions were different.
Master Liu trotted over, holding Chen behind him, and said with a hint of reproach, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room and not come out? You're weak, what if you get hurt?"
Chen held Hu Xin'er's hand and looked at Master Liu with eyes full of love: "It's okay, I came out because I saw Xin'er was being bullied by the eldest wife. The eldest wife has been getting more and more unreasonable recently."
While the two were talking, the quarrel in the yard stopped temporarily. The eldest old lady and the second old lady looked at each other, snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
"Master..." The eldest brother's wife felt that she was right and was about to speak angrily, but was interrupted by Old Master Liu.
Old Master Liu questioned unhappily, "Right now, the whole capital is telling jokes about our Liu family. Are you the ones gossiping about us?"
"What a joke!" The old lady was stunned. "I clearly had people spread the news about Qingyi and the Crown Prince's marriage."
Old Master Liu slammed his cane down and said, "Foolish woman! It's really your fault."
The old lady was stunned by the scolding, and Liu Zhi felt wronged: "Dad, what are you talking about? This matter is clearly our Yi'er's credit..."
"Merit?" Old Master Liu held his cane, veins bulging on his old hands.
He said bitterly, "Our Liu family has been completely disgraced by you idiots!"
"Did you make a mistake?" Liu Zhi was extremely surprised. Then, as if realizing something, he said angrily, "Dad, did the second wife say something to you?"
"No need to say more to him!" With a loud shout, Liu Qingyi, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the room.
She walked with the wind on her feet, her chin held high, her face full of confidence and disdain, as if she was ready to shock the whole audience.
"Hey, Mr. Liu." She stopped in front of Old Master Liu and shouted these three words.
Old Master Liu has lived for many years, but there are only a few times in his life when he was as confused as he is in this life.
Hu Xiner silently gave Liu Qingyi a thumbs up in her heart.
Good guy, you are worthy of being Liu Qingyi, a real naughty kid!
In this era full of feudal etiquette, few people dare to call Old Master Liu by his name.
However, in Liu Qingyi's heart, calling her grandfather by his real name was no longer enough to express her inner expansion.
The surname Liu, these three short words, show the girl's ruthless criticism of red tape and her beautiful yearning for future life.
She, Liu Qingyi, is the woman who wants to become the Crown Princess, and she will definitely trample Old Master Liu under her feet in the future.
Old Master Liu's hand holding the cane trembled slightly.
Obviously, he wanted to beat this unfilial granddaughter to the ground with his cane.
If it were an ordinary person, he might have been scared.
But Liu Qingyi never reads other people's expressions.
At this moment, although she was trying to pretend to be indifferent and contemptuous, even her eyebrows were trembling with extraordinary excitement in her heart.
"Mr. Liu, this is the token of love the prince gave me, but it was destroyed by Hu Xin'er. You can do whatever you want with it."
As she spoke, she handed over the ink-stained handkerchief and accused Hu Xiner in the most arrogant tone.
The eldest old lady pulled her naive granddaughter behind her and pretended to sigh, "Alas, Master, it's not that I wanted to hit Xin'er, but after Qingyi caught her in her scandal, she actually beat up her own sister and even broke the token of love between her and the prince. That's why I had to enforce the family rules to prevent Xin'er from making a big mistake!"
He kept referring to it as a token of love, and Old Master Liu's forehead began to throb. "How can a woman like you in the inner chambers arbitrarily use the family rules? You two simply don't take me seriously!"
"Dad, how could you think like that?" Liu Zhi saw that the situation was not good, and cursed Old Master Liu in his heart for favoring the second house, but he wiped away his tears hypocritically on his face.
She cried and said, "We are all thinking about the Liu family. Listen to what Hu Xin'er said. She actually said that Yi'er is not marrying the prince, but marrying a eunuch. She confuses the prince with the eunuch. This is a crime of disrespect!"
Hu Xin'er came out and said, "I think it's you who are the ones who are disrespectful to the prince!"
