Fifty strokes of the cane?
After fifty strokes of the cane, how could Granny Liu possibly survive?
Xiao Jinmeng's eyes widened instantly as she struggled to save Granny Liu.
But she wasn't strong enough...
The thick wooden planks of the door fell on Granny Liu one after another—
Under Shen Yuan's preparations, Baicaotang in the capital city has successfully opened. Shen Yuan was looking at the account books for the past few days when she suddenly felt a jolt and a bad premonition rose in her heart.
She asked Bai Zhi, "Is Su Ling at Changfeng Residence today, or did she go out?"
Bai Zhi: "Young Master Ling has gone out."
As Shen Yuan closed the ledger, she saw a maid from Changfeng Residence rushing in from outside the door.
"Young Miss, I saw the Second Miss leading people to arrest Granny Liu and take her to the Martial Virtue Academy!"
Shen Yuan's expression hardened, and she immediately led two maids back to the General's Mansion at full speed.
Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop in front of the General's Mansion, Shen Yuan jumped off, lifted her skirt, and ran wildly into the Wude Courtyard.

The guard beside her held the board high, about to strike Granny Liu.
"Grandma!" Shen Yuan's eyes widened in fury, and a dagger flew out from her sleeve, stabbing at the guard.
The guard couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed in the arm by the dagger. The board in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Startled by the shout, Jiang tilted her teacup, spilling tea all over her dress.
She stood up angrily and looked at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan rushed to Liu Mama's side, shielding her with her body. Her sharp eyes swept across the people in the courtyard, and she shouted, "Let's see who dares to abuse their power in the General's Mansion!"
Jiang looked at Shen Yunjin, who sneered, "Pull her away and keep hitting her!"
With Shen Yunjin's order, the guards dared not disobey and stepped forward to seize Shen Yuan.
However, Shen Yuan did not come alone; she brought all the servants from the General's Mansion with her.
In the midst of their argument and fight, Shen Yunjin's guard took the opportunity to push Liu Mama.
With a thud, Granny Liu fell off the stool, hitting her forehead on a nearby rock flowerbed, and immediately lost consciousness.
