Chapter 363: Turn over a new leaf and start a new life
The door was closed, and the entire flower hall fell into endless darkness.
Xuan Xiaowu lay on the chair, his weak body heaving up and down, his face full of tears, and he couldn't even cry .
The black little snake hid in the turtle shell, huddled tightly.
At first Xuan Xiaowu was still struggling, but Mrs. Chen came in and used a cross armbar to lock him tightly, leaving his entire butt exposed, to ensure that every blow from Jian Ruonan was solid.
Xuan Xiaowu struggled to move and began to cry, calling Nannan, Jiarou, the fourth prince, grandmother, grandfather, royal grandfather, royal grandmother...
Jian Ruonan: "Even if you shout your throat out, no one will come to save you!"
"Ah uh uh——" The little turtle was beaten and cried like a donkey.
Princess Jiarou on the side took a breath of cold air, "Fifth sister, it's just five thousand taels, it won't cause a death! Can't I just give it up?"
Jian Ruonan: "Princess, you don't understand, if he dares to owe five thousand taels today, he will dare to owe fifty thousand taels tomorrow, five hundred million taels!!"
"He stole needles when he was young and stole gold when he grew up!"
"I'm not beating him, I'm helping him!"
Xuan Xiaowu: "..."
Should I thank you?
"Ouch——"
The beating was almost over, Jian Ruonan put down the cane, and immediately a maid took a towel and a basin to wipe her sweat and rub her shoulders.
The door opened, and the sun shone in again, but Xuan Xiaowu did not feel a trace of warmth. Jian Ruonan's eyes were so cold that he shivered.
The weak little turtle sobbed and vowed to turn over a new leaf and become a turtle again.
After the beating, Jian Ruonan said, "Xuan Xiaowu, can you speak properly now?"
Xuan Xiaowu: "Oh, yes."
Jian Ruonan picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip. The little maid put down the cushion, and Jian Ruonan leaned over: "Now, let's talk about reason."
"Every hit just now was not in vain."
Princess Jiarou sat aside, and she dared not say a word.
You female demon, this princess almost thought you were going to beat me to death, but now you are actually starting to talk about reason.
Who can talk about reason better than you?
"The first one was for your biological family." Jian Ruonan said, "You were beaten for stealing your brother's identity without permission and making trouble. Do you have any objections?"
Xuan Xiaowu: "No."
Jian Ruonan: "Why did no one come to find you after you ran away for so many days? Aren't your parents and brother anxious?"
Xuan Xiaowu: "We in the Xuanwu clan don't know who our parents are since we were young."
The parents put the eggs in the holy land and hatched them all. The hatched cubs will cultivate themselves according to the inherited memory.
Xuan Xiaowu didn't know what his parents looked like since he was a child. He finally found his parents through blood connection, but his parents didn't care much about him. This brother only has blood ties with him, and their relationship is not very good.
If the relationship was a little better, he would not be able to steal his brother's mission and travel through time privately.
In fact, he didn't understand the importance of parents, so he called the fourth prince daddy and Jian Ruonan mother without restraint.
To him, parents are not some sacred and inviolable relationship.
Jian Ruonan was stunned.
It turns out that Xuan Xiaowu is still a stray turtle.
How pitiful.
No wonder he had no moral integrity before, it turns out that he has grown up crooked.
Jian Ruonan: "Since you have no parents, I will discipline you now, do you obey?"
Xuan Xiaowu nodded weakly, "Yes."
Jian Ruonan: "The second time, I will beat you for making up rumors."
"Do you know how important reputation is to a woman in Daxia?"
Xuan Xiaowu shook his head. He just wanted to tie up the fourth prince and the fifth sister at that time, and did not consider too much.
"If a woman has a bad reputation, at least she will be pointed at by others, and at worst she will jump into the lake and hang herself for the rest of her life."
Jian Ruonan said in just two simple sentences that it is not easy for women.
If it were an ordinary woman, even if she married into the Prince Rui's mansion, she would never be able to hold her head up.
Fortunately, she is not an ordinary woman and never fights among herself. If an ordinary woman is subjected to such rumors, her life will be ruined.
Xuan Xiaowu was stunned, "Am I so excessive?"
Princess Jiarou thought about it and nodded, "It is indeed excessive."
If it were someone else, you would have been beaten to death long ago.
Now think about it, the fifth sister is still merciful.
Xuan Xiaowu realized the seriousness of the problem and pulled Nan Nan's clothes, "I'm sorry, Nan Nan, I was wrong."
At this time, Xuan Xiaowu really realized his mistake, and the mentality of getting away with it by taking a few beatings was put away.
The little turtle stared with eyes wide open, covered his beaten buttocks, and swore: "Nannan, I was really wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"
Princess Jiarou glanced at Jian Ruonan, she looked serious, really serious.
"Third," Jian Ruonan raised her finger, "You are so young, but you have learned to play with money, and you dare to owe five thousand taels!"
"Do you know how much five thousand taels is? The annual expenses of ordinary people are about ten taels. Some people can't earn five thousand taels in their lifetime."
"I won't help you pay this money back, and the fourth prince won't help you pay it back either."
"Find a way to pay it back yourself."
Xuan Xiaowu was dumbfounded.
He owed so much, when can he pay it back? !
At that time, he only wanted to win, and he didn't count how much he owed.
"Your mistakes should be made up for by yourself." Jian Ruonan: "I will help you find a job. You should
pay back Princess Jiarou with whatever you earn." Princess Jiarou: "When will I be able to pay you back?"
The fifth sister is really cruel. She even asked Xiaowu to work to pay back the money.
Jian Ruonan: "I, Jian Ruonan, taught you a kid. A mere five thousand taels is no problem!"

"According to the rules of the Jian family, if someone fabricates facts and spreads rumors about others, the case is serious and will be grounded for five to ten days and fined 500 taels." Jian Ruonan looked at the little turtle, "Do you accept this punishment?"
Xuan Xiaowu: "I accept it." Jian Ruonan: "The grounding will be temporarily exempted. I will give you seven days to clarify the rumors. The 500 taels fine will be deducted from your monthly salary." It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a long time to refute them.
