She felt an unbearable pain in her heart, and even her breathing became heavy. She took a long, deep breath before looking at them.
I'm reluctant to impose a heavy penalty, but I'm also genuinely furious.
These kids are incredibly audacious; they'd do something as simple as hiding their little sister.
Although the punishment was a bit harsh, it was a way to give the other brothers an explanation and hopefully teach them a lesson for the future.
Finally, Qin Song finished fighting.
He stood to the side, breathing as calmly as possible.
It seems like it's been many years since I've hit the young masters so hard, and I'm not as energetic as I used to be.
He took a while to catch his breath before approaching Qiao Yanzhi and nodding, saying, "Madam, the young masters have all been punished."
Qiao Yanzhi waved her hand: "Go and rest."
"Yes, madam."
After Qin Song left, only the mother and her five children remained in the house.
The four brothers were too weak to speak, and they supported each other as they looked at their mother.
Finally, it was Fu Ziyi, who received a lighter punishment, who spoke first: "Mom, we know we were wrong. Please calm down. We won't do it again."
Qiao Yanzhi understood, of course, that they couldn't make the same mistake again.
After all, Yao'er has been found, and no one can hide her anymore.
When Fu Xiuchen saw her somber face, her eyes filled with tears, and her swallowing several times, he knew she was truly upset.
He moved his lips: "Mom."
Qiao Yanzhi didn't speak; her anger hadn't subsided so quickly.
He was worried about her heart condition, and that being angry all the time was bad for her health, so he tried to comfort her, saying, "This is my fault as the older brother. Don't be sad, and take care of your health."
Fu Jincheng and Xiao Jinhan both remained silent.
They were the ones who received the heaviest punishment, yet they still tried their best to kneel properly, hoping their mother wouldn't be angry anymore.
Looking at these sons, when they were little, they knelt there, only a tiny bit of them.
Now, they've all grown up and become men. Even though they're kneeling, they exude a sense of grandeur and majesty.
They are all grown men now, and they have responsibilities on their shoulders.
Qiao Yanzhi looked at them, her heart aching. They were wrong, but she was wrong too.
If she had been more careful back then, investigated more thoroughly, and verified the DNA with that infant corpse a few more times, she wouldn't have made such a mistake, missing out on her precious grape for twenty years.
That's why these sons, once they found their sister, wanted to hide her away and pamper her alone.
They just doted on their younger sister too much.
From their perspective, there's really nothing wrong with it.
Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes again. She wiped them away and remained silent.
Fu Xiuchen knew that his mother was feeling sad at the moment, probably because she was thinking about being deceived for twenty years. He was worried that his mother would blame herself, get stuck in a dead end, become depressed and sad, and trigger a relapse of her heart disease.
She swallowed hard and called out gently, "Mom, don't cry. My sister is back. Nothing from the past matters anymore."
Fu Jincheng was also deeply moved at this moment. How much his mother had missed his younger sister over the years, how could he forget?
Even if she's not around, they'll prepare everything they have, and everything Fu Mengyao has, for her.
Bedroom, study, walk-in closet...
She also carefully selected many of the girls' clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics.
However, they hid their younger sister, how could the mother not be angry, and how could she not be sad?
Worried that his mother's illness might flare up, he moved his lips and tried to comfort her: "Mom, we were wrong. We shouldn't have prevented you from recognizing your sister. Don't cry."
