As Xiao Yunyu walked into the room, he heard Lord Xiao shout, "Kneel down!"
Xiao Yunyu knelt down without changing his expression, his face looking calm.
Lord Xiao slammed the table with a "bang" and shouted, "You bastard! Have you thrown away all your usual manners? How dare you disrespect your own mother!" After that, he glanced at Madam Xiao beside him.
Xiao Yunyu was very familiar with this trick of Marquis Xiao.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at Lord Xiao, curling his lips and saying, "You are wrongly accusing me. It was my mother who insisted on causing trouble in my yard, disturbing my peace. I tried to persuade her to leave on her own, but she refused to listen, so I had no choice but to send her out myself."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao hurriedly said, "You are lying with your eyes open!"
Her eyes were red, and she turned sideways to grab Lord Xiao's hand and said aggrievedly: "Master, I was clearly just going to look for Yun Chen's wife, but the couple blocked my way!"
Xiao Yunyu sneered in his heart. It was the same behavior again. The old man just fell for her tricks!
He raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "It's not that I don't want you to take her away, it's just that my sister-in-law is in a bad mood, and my wife is trying to comfort her, and you barge in with a bunch of servants, making it seem like I'm harboring a criminal."
"Bullshit!" Madam Xiao stood up angrily, pointing at him and cursing, "Then why did you send someone to send her back to her parents' home? You're clearly trying to sow discord and can't stand seeing your brother get along!"
Xiao Yunyu frowned, "Mother, that's really too much. Everyone in the capital knows that the sisters-in-law in the Xiao family have a very close relationship. You want to beat my sister-in-law, but my wife loves her, so I naturally listened to her."
At this point, he curled his lips and blurted out, "Doesn't my father listen to you and hang around you every day?"
Lord Xiao felt a little embarrassed after being provoked like this, and his ears turned red with embarrassment.
He stood up suddenly, poked the air with his fingers, and shouted angrily: "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!"
His voice rose, resonant like a bell: "It's only natural for your mother to teach her a lesson! Not to mention Yun Chen's wife, even if she wanted to teach yours, you should have handed her over obediently. It's not your turn to intervene and stop her!"
Hearing what Lord Xiao said, a cold look suddenly appeared in Xiao Yunyu's unbridled eyes.
Jie Ao's eyes showed a clear sense of protecting his wife: "If you want to make your wife happy, I don't care, but if you want to use my wife to make your wife happy, that's not allowed."
Seeing his stubborn attitude, like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, Lord Xiao was so angry that he threw the two teacups at him, took a deep breath and calmed down.
Then he suppressed his anger and said to Madam Xiao, "Madam, please go back to your room first. I must teach this rebellious son a lesson today."
Madam Xiao stood up with her head held high and her chest puffed out. She glanced triumphantly at Xiao Yunyu, who was kneeling on the ground, and then she curled her lips and said slowly to Marquis Xiao, "Master, I'll wait for you in the room."
Lord Xiao smiled gently in response: "Okay."
Seeing Madam Xiao walk out, the smile on Marquis Xiao's face disappeared completely, and he ordered Zhang Bo beside him: "Go, get the family rules!"
Uncle Zhang ran out in a hurry, and when he came back with the whip, Mrs. Xiao had already returned to the house.
Lord Xiao glared at Xiao Yunyu and cursed, "Ever since you were little, you've been disobedient and rebellious. What sin did I commit in my previous life to give birth to a rebellious son like you?"
When Zhang Bo saw that Lord Xiao had not taken the whip from his hand, he understood that the master had no intention of really taking action. As long as the eldest young master gave in, the matter would be over.
His eyes rolled as he whispered, "Young Master's personality is ultimately yours! You are deeply in love with your wife, and it's only natural for you to protect your wife. How about... let it go today? I'm sure you'll realize your mistake by now."
Xiao Yunyu's cold eyes warmed up a little: "Uncle Zhang, you really understand me. What you said hits the nail on the head."
Uncle Zhang smiled at him. He was Marquis Xiao's servant and grew up with him. He had served Marquis Xiao for decades and had a very accurate grasp of his thoughts.
Lord Xiao glared at Xiao Yunyu with a cold expression and snorted, "If you know you're wrong, you must never do it again! Your mother is in poor health, so as the younger generation, you should be more considerate of her."
At this point, his eyes sternly said, "As a mother-in-law, it's only natural for her to discipline her daughter-in-law. If you dare to stop me next time, I will never let you off easily!"
"Then you'd better beat me up." Xiao Yunyu raised his chin, his tone sounding helpless.
Upon hearing this, Lord Xiao, who had just sat down, stood up again, pointed at Xiao Yunyu with a trembling finger, and said to Zhang Bo, "Look at him, look at his character! It's a pity that you still pleaded for him!"
"Do you think he admits his mistakes? If I hadn't kept him under control all these years, he would have definitely gone crazy!"
He snatched the whip from Zhang Bo's hand and shouted angrily, "If I don't punish you, you won't know your place!"
"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Whip after whip hit Xiao Yunyu's back.
Xiao Yunyu gritted his teeth and endured the punishment, his defiant eyes and eyebrows filled with an untamable ruthlessness.
Until Xiao Yunyu's dark robe was soaked with obvious bloodstains, the already thin silk fabric had been torn into pieces by the whip, revealing the bloodstains on his back where the skin was torn and flesh was exposed.
Lord Xiao finally stopped, threw the whip hard, and said coldly: "Go back to your yard!"
Waterside Residence.
Li Nian waited for a while, but no one showed up. He asked someone to ask around and found out that Xiao Yunyu had left the house after coming out of the main courtyard.
I just ignored him. Xiao Yunyu had plenty of places to rest outside anyway.
