Madam Qin sneered and said, "Relatives? Your mother Sheng Yunrong is your relative, but you are bullying her child here. What's your reason?"

Qin Moyuan listened, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then said: "Old lady, I know I am an outsider to you, but I have always tried my best to be myself, and I have never thought of bullying anyone."

"You still dare to talk back! Beat him!" Old Madam Qin was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot and she gave the order immediately.

There was a flash of anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour Qin Moyuan.

Qin Moyuan closed his eyes tightly, letting the servants' fists rain down on him.

His body was shaking, but he kept his teeth clenched and didn't make a sound to beg for mercy.

There was only one thought in my mind: I must not let my mother worry.

"Qin Moyuan, you are challenging my authority!" Madam Qin pointed at him angrily, her voice sharp and piercing, "Do you think that just because you have a good mother, you can act so unbridled in front of me?"

Qin Moyuan raised his head, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding light: "Madam Qin, my mother Sheng Yunrong is your daughter-in-law. She has always respected and loved you. What I did today was just out of filial piety to my mother. Please let me go for what she has done for you."

Old Madam Qin's face turned pale. She had never seen anyone talk back to her like this. She sneered, "What a filial piety! Qin Moyuan, you can impress me like this?"

At this time, a servant couldn't help but speak up: "Old Madam, although Qin Moyuan contradicted you, he is a child after all, please show mercy."

Madam Qin glared at the servant, her eyes full of warning. The servant immediately shut up and dared not say anything more.

Qin Moyuan looked at Madam Qin and pleaded, "Madam, I beg you, please let me go. I don't want my mother to know that I am suffering here."

Madam Qin laughed loudly. She looked at Qin Moyuan sarcastically: "Do you think I care about your feelings? Qin Moyuan, you are too naive! Today, I want to let you know who is the master of this Qin Mansion!"

She turned to the servants and said in a cold voice: "Beat him! Beat him to death!"

The servants did not dare to hesitate, they waved their fists and hit Qin Moyuan again and again. Qin Moyuan's body was like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Qin Moyuan clenched his teeth tightly, his face twisted in pain, but he never made a sound.

At this moment, a servant suddenly stopped what he was doing. He looked at Qin Moyuan with a hint of pity in his eyes: "Madam, Qin Moyuan has fainted. Do you want to continue?"

Madam Qin sat on the armchair, her eyes cold and her tone firm: "Go on, I can't let him be so presumptuous in front of me, are the people of the Sheng family so rude?"

Sheng Yunrong happened to return to the Qin residence at this time. The scene she saw made her heart break. She quickly rushed forward and stood in front of Qin Moyuan. Her eyes were red as she glared at Old Madam Qin: "Mother, what are you doing? Moyuan is also your grandson. How can you treat him like this?"

Madam Qin sneered, "Sheng Yunrong, who do you think you are? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you married into the Qin family? I am the old lady of the Qin family, so I naturally have the right to teach him a lesson."

Sheng Yunrong clenched her fists, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Mother, he is a person, not an object, you can't treat him like this. If he has done anything wrong, you can talk to him, you can teach him, but you can't hit him like this."

Madam Qin's face darkened and she said angrily, "Sheng Yunrong, are you contradicting me? Are you challenging the authority of my Qin family?"

Sheng Yunrong raised her head, her eyes full of determination: "I am just pleading for an innocent child, mother, do you know? He is just a child. What he needs is not your beating or scolding, but your love and guidance."

Madam Qin was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Sheng Yunrong and said, "You...you...are you teaching me a lesson?"

Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mother, I am just telling the truth in my heart. I know I can't change your mind, but I can't watch you treat him like this."

At this time, Qin Moyuan slowly woke up and saw Sheng Yunrong standing in front of him. He struggled to stand up, but his body felt like it was hit by a sledgehammer and was in great pain.

"Mother, I'm fine..." Qin Moyuan said with difficulty.

Madam Qin looked at Qin Moyuan, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness: "Sheng Yunrong, look, this is the good son you taught, and he dared to contradict me so blatantly."

She was so angry that she couldn't speak. She waved her hand and signaled the servant to continue enforcing the family rules.

The servant looked at Qin Moyuan and Sheng Yunrong and felt sorry for them, but he could not disobey Madam Qin's order.

"Madam, I..." The servant hesitated for a moment, but decided to say, "Qin Moyuan can no longer bear any greater punishment. If we continue to beat him, he might..."

Madam Qin interrupted the servant coldly, "I know. I will tell the servants to be careful. What are you still standing there for? Continue to enforce the family rules."

The servant sighed helplessly, picked up the whip and prepared to hit again.

Sheng Yunrong looked at this scene and felt extremely painful. She couldn't change anything, but she couldn't bear to see Qin Moyuan get hurt again.

"Mother, I beg you, please stop hitting me. I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf." Sheng Yunrong knelt on the ground and begged.

Madam Qin looked at Sheng Yunrong: "Sheng Yunrong, do you think you can impress me like this? I tell you, it's impossible!"

Sheng Yunrong looked at Madam Qin and asked angrily, "Mother, why are you so cruel to Qin Moyuan? He is just a child. What crime did he commit to deserve such treatment? Although I can endure all the torture, Qin Moyuan cannot. He is my adopted son and your grandson!"

Madam Qin glanced at Sheng Yunrong coldly and said indifferently, "Sheng Yunrong, don't you understand? I beat Qin Moyuan to teach you a lesson. You kept him in the Qin Mansion because you wanted him to replace my grandson Qin Fengyun?"

Sheng Yunrong's face turned pale and she shook her head painfully: "Mother, I didn't mean that. I just think Qin Moyuan is innocent and he shouldn't be treated like this. Besides, Qin Fengyun and Qin Huaiyu have grown up. They have their own lives and will no longer completely obey your discipline."

A trace of anger flashed in Madam Qin's eyes. She slapped the teacup on the table and said angrily, "Sheng Yunrong, are you talking back to me? Don't forget, I have the final say in the Qin Mansion, not you. Qin Fengyun and Qin Huaiyu are my grandchildren, so I am naturally qualified to discipline them. As for Qin Moyuan, his existence will only affect my grandchildren."

Sheng Yunrong bit her lip tightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, Qin Mo was originally my adopted son, and he is also innocent. If you treat him like this, it will only make me feel guilty. I am willing to bear everything, just ask you to let him go."
