Xiao Mansion Hall
Xiao Wanlin, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the noble lady kneeling on the ground below with an extremely ugly expression.
Below the main seat, a thin man in his thirties looked at Xiao Wanlin and opened his mouth, but never spoke.
"Susu, do you know your mistake?"
It was unknown how long it took before Xiao Wanlin spoke.
"Susu knows she's wrong, please punish me, father!"
Mu Susu lowered her head, her whole body trembling. She never imagined that her momentary outburst would actually kill a guest official in her family.
But he is still a guest official who is highly valued by the clan leader Xiao Wanlin!
"Susu, you have been married to my Xiao family for fifteen or sixteen years, right?" Xiao Wanlin asked with his eyelids slightly closed.
"Yes, father, Susu has been married to my husband for sixteen years."
When Mu Susu heard Xiao Wanlin's question, her heart sank slightly.
"Alas, Father, I am old now. You and Ming'er are already in your thirties, but you still have no children. This makes me very worried."
Xiao Wanlin opened his eyes and said while stroking his forehead.
Mu Susu bit her lips tightly and lowered her head so that no one could see her expression. It was a great pity for a person to have no descendants. For so many years, she had not added a child to the Xiao family, which was really a shame.
Xiao Ming, who was standing by, had his eyes lit up and couldn't help but feel excited.
After marrying Mu Susu, he realized that she was a tigress. Not only did she not give birth to children, but she also did not allow him to take concubines. Over the years, he had made promises to countless women that he would take them as concubines after a while, but in the end, all of them were broken.
The reason is very simple. The strength of the Mu family in Black Rock City where Mu Susu is located is only stronger than that of the Xiao family. Sometimes the Xiao family even has to rely on the Mu family. It is precisely because of this that even though the two have no children for more than ten years, Xiao Wanlin did not say anything even though he was dissatisfied. After all, her mother's family is not easy to mess with, so he just followed Mu Susu's wish.
Xiao Ming knew his father's true thoughts, but he was just a little hesitant. But now it was different. Now Mu Susu had killed one of his guests, so...
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming felt more at ease.
As expected, Xiao Wanlin, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke.
"Susu, you get up first."
Xiao Wanlin stood up, his face serious. "Susu, Ma Keqing is a great asset to our Xiao family. Now, because of your recklessness, Ma Keqing's life and death are in jeopardy. And according to Qi Keqing, although that person's strength is not high, he is very young, and his methods are strange, unlike those of ordinary people. You have brought a potential disaster to our Xiao family!"
Xiao Wanlin said with a wry smile on his face.
"ah?"
Mu Susu stood up, her face pale, completely lacking the elegance and nobility she displayed outside.
"Then...what should we do then?"
"Alas, you know, my Xiao family has always treated everyone equally. No matter who harms the interests of the family, according to the family rules, Ming'er, you tell me, what should be done?"
Xiao Wanlin looked at Xiao Ming and asked.
Xiao Ming hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, according to family law, you will be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane."
"No! No way!"
Mu Susu screamed and collapsed immediately. One hundred strokes of the cane. She was not a spiritual cultivator, but an ordinary person. This could be fatal!
"Alas, Susu, you know how your father has treated you over the years. The mistake you made this time is really not a small one. The one who died this time is a powerful spiritualist! Do you know how many resources it took to train him?" Xiao Wanlin said with great sorrow.
Mu Susu burst into tears and looked at Xiao Ming helplessly, "Husband, help me, I don't want to die!"
Looking at Mu Susu's miserable appearance, Xiao Ming secretly said in his heart that she deserved it. He had been annoyed with her for a long time, but he never thought that this day would come!
Even though he thought so, Xiao Ming still pretended to be distressed. He quickly stepped forward to help Mu Susu up and pleaded with Xiao Wanlin, "Father, Susu doesn't deserve to die! You..."
"Stop talking! Every family has its own rules. If I don't punish her today, how am I supposed to manage the huge Xiao family in the future? What has allowed our Xiao family to survive in Beastmaster City for so many years? Is it because of our powerful military force? No! It's because of our good eyesight!"
Xiao Wanlin turned around and interrupted Xiao Ming.
"Husband, please help me, you must help me..."
Mu Susu only realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment. If she had known earlier, she should not have provoked that person.
"Alas, Susu, your husband will definitely help you, but your father is furious right now, and nothing I say will work. Unless you can do something to make your father happy, that might work, but I'm afraid it will put you at a disadvantage..."
Xiao Ming whispered, his face full of embarrassment.
"No, I don't want to be wronged for anything. As long as my father doesn't punish me! Husband, if you have any ideas, tell me now!"
Hearing that Xiao Ming seemed to have a solution, Mu Susu grabbed Xiao Ming and asked quickly.
Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment, then whispered something in Mu Susu's ear, and then looked at Mu Susu.
Mu Susu's panicked face suddenly turned ugly, and Xiao Ming quickly said, "My husband is just saying this. This is the best way right now. You know that my father is old, and this is the only way to make him let go of his anger. Besides, won't you be the one to manage those people who enter the Xiao Mansion in the future? If something happens to you, won't my Xiao family's backyard be in chaos? Of course, if my beloved wife doesn't want to, then my husband really has no choice."
When Mu Susu heard this, her ugly expression relaxed. It seemed that what he said made some sense.
However, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that she, a young lady of the Mu family, had to share a husband with those bitches.
"Alright! Someone, take the young lady away and punish her according to family rules!"
