Chapter 361 Using Family Law

Qin Shu's face was also very ugly. She was really angry. She didn't give the third brother any face and questioned him aggressively.

"We gave the royal family a profit in this business, yes, but our Qin family is dependent on the royal family. Otherwise, why do you think we are called royal merchants and the top merchants in the world? Don't let me hear such treasonous words again."

But the third brother was still very unconvinced. He didn't have any intention of repenting, but just roared.

"We have given all the profits to the royal family in all our business, and it's the same for every order. What are we doing as royal merchants? As royal merchants, we earn less than ordinary merchants!"

"In that case, no matter what, the profits belong to the royal family, so we might as well not be royal merchants."

The third brother's words clearly hit Qin Shu's sore spot. She was already angry, and now she was even more furious, with her eyes wide open. Almost unable to catch her breath, she pointed at the third brother and was about to use the family law without mercy.

Others did not dare to say anything. Although this was at a family dinner, the third brother should not have accused the royal family like this. It was indeed a bit inappropriate, not to mention that Fang Qinghong was present...

At this time, Qin Shu had already left her seat and wanted to use the whip to use the family law on the third brother. Fang Qinghong quickly stood up to stop Qin Shu and snatched the whip from her hand.

"We are all family, don't get angry, the third child is just a child, so he is a little naive, but what he said must be unintentional."

Although Fang Qinghong is a very annoying person, Xiao Xixi thinks that what he said is correct, but the third child not only does not appreciate it, but also looks at him very angrily, not even letting him go.

"Don't pretend to be kind here, I have disliked you for a long time!"

Fang Qinghong's face froze, and his expression when looking at Qin Shu instantly became a little embarrassed. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, he paused for a moment and was snatched away by Qin Shu from the long whip in her hand.

Qin Shu was angry with the third child, and the third child not only slandered the royal family, but also disrespected Fang Qinghong, an elder. Such a serious crime, Qin Shu was naturally furious, and wanted to let the third child know the power of family rules.

Fang Qinghong hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and even Qin Qixuan stood up to persuade Qin Shu not to be so impulsive, but Qin Shu refused to listen to their advice and insisted on punishing the third child with family rules. The third child was as impulsive and stubborn as ever, unwilling to admit his mistakes.

In such a stalemate, Xiao Xixi couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

[Oh, why don't you say something else, third brother, you have to slander the royal family. You really hit a wall.]

Obviously, what mother cares about most is the opinion of the royal family. Now, for the safety of the Qin family and the trust of the emperor, mother is going to marry the mediocre Fang Qinghong. Third brother actually wants to make irresponsible comments at this critical moment. Mother is right to be angry.

Moreover, the Qin family has been engaged in business for generations, and they really became the leader of merchants when they became imperial merchants. Now the third brother so easily said that he did not want to be an imperial merchant, which made his mother even more angry.

It was the third brother's fault. He was simply too good at dancing on his mother's sore spot.

Qin Shu was very angry. Even Xiao Xixi could understand the truth, but the third brother was so stubborn.

The third brother was the only one in the Qin family who had a talent for business. Qin Shu was also willing to hand over all the Qin family's industries to him to manage, but the third brother now actually developed a mentality of hating the royal family. This must not happen. If it is spread out, the result will be irreparable.

Thinking of this, Qin Shu felt that she must severely punish the third brother today, and punish him until he admits his mistakes.

"Today, you have to kneel in the ancestral hall. If you still don't want to admit your mistakes, I will whip you a few times first, and then punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall until you admit your mistakes!"

The third brother has always been like this, he will not cry until he sees the coffin. He thinks he is not wrong, so he will never admit his mistakes.

Although others want the third brother to admit his mistakes quickly to avoid physical pain, the third brother would rather be punished and think that this imperial merchant is inappropriate.

Qin Shu was so angry that she raised the whip and was about to whip him. At this time, Fang Qinghong suddenly took over the whip.

"Why don't you let me do it for you? The head of the Qin family should be angry and not hurt himself."

Qin Shu couldn't persuade him, so she let him whip the third brother.

Everyone thought that Fang Qinghong took over the whip because he wanted to punish the third brother less severely on behalf of Qin Shu. Even the third brother himself thought so.

After all, Fang Qinghong would enter the Qin Mansion in the future, so there was no point in being harsh on the third brother at this time.

But the third brother did not expect that the first whip from Fang Qinghong would make him speechless due to the pain. In the past, Qin Shu would have to whip him at least three times to achieve this effect.

Qin Shu stopped Fang Qinghong after he whipped him once, and then asked the third brother whether he admitted his fault or not.

Even if the third brother wanted to admit his fault, he was speechless due to the pain. Qin Shu thought he was stubborn and did not want to admit it, so she was very angry and wanted Fang Qinghong to continue beating him.

But Qin Qixuan couldn't stand it anymore. After all, the third child was still young and had just learned how to do business, but he had to share half of his subordinates' profits with others. The third child felt unbalanced, and there were reasons for it. If he was taught a good lesson, it would definitely improve.

"Mother, I think you should stop beating him. This whip is enough to make the third child admit his fault, and I will take the rest of the punishment on his behalf. After all, the third child is still young, and if he makes any mistakes, it's also my fault that I, the eldest brother, didn't teach him well."

Qin Qiting also said hurriedly at this time.

"Third brother is just like this. If you talk to him nicely, he will figure it out. If he really has to be punished, then I will bear part of it."

He had a lot of contact with the third brother, and judging from the third brother's current appearance, he must be enduring great pain. Qin Qiting really couldn't bear it.

Seeing that several children said so, Qin Shu couldn't help but look at the third brother and found that his face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and his fists were clenched, as if he was enduring severe pain.

Qin Shu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and the anger in her heart dissipated immediately.

She was also anxious. The third brother should never have said this no matter what...

"

Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. If you dare to say such disrespectful words again in the future, I will definitely not show mercy and will definitely punish you according to the family rules."

No one saw that at the moment when Qin Shu let go, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Fang Qinghong's eyes. But in a moment he changed into a docile look, handed the whip in his hand to Qin Shu, and retreated without saying a word.

Seeing that Qin Shu finally let go, the people present also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately...

if he continued to beat him, the third brother would not be able to survive.
