"Evil woman!" Pei Kangsheng was so angry that he kept gritting his teeth and repeating the word "evil woman".
After a moment, he changed the subject, "I want to divorce my wife! How can I have a vicious woman like you by my side!"
"Divorce? I'm the Shangshu's legitimate daughter. You, Pei Kangsheng, betrothed me with three letters and six formalities. Can you just divorce me if you want to?"
"There are not many people in the capital who have committed such cruel things. Return the Shangshu's legitimate daughter to the emperor and let the people of the world judge. A vicious woman like you should not be alive in this world."
When it comes to letting the world comment, Xu Ying immediately panicked.
"No, I didn't do this. I didn't do it. I did give these things as rewards, but I, I even drank her concubine's tea. Why would I harm her like this?" Her acting was also very good. She looked at those things with disbelief in her eyes. "I just got married. If she gets into trouble now, won't that make me a target of public criticism?"
"Who knows what you're thinking." Tu Qingyu propped up his head and replied lazily, "Oh, I remember now. Come to think of it, you gave me a lot of things too. Are there any problems with those things?"
Pei Jian: "Yanshan, go get it."
Yanshan was very fast, and the things Xu Ying gave to Tu Qingyu were kept in a woodshed.
"Sir, these things were also drugged. Fortunately..." He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Fortunately, Madam didn't use it."
Pei Jian's face suddenly turned dark.
His eyes were cold, and he looked at Xu Ying as if she were a dead object.
The entire room was silent. Even Qiuhong, who had been crying just now, was tactful enough not to make a sound.
Xu Ying couldn't bear the momentum and her knees softened and she knelt down.
"Father, Father, please understand. I didn't do this. The things I gave away didn't have these things. Someone must have framed me. Father... please look into this." She was shaking and her words were a little unclear.
"Tsk." Tu Qingyu said softly, "Who would frame you here? Me?"
"No, of course not." Xu Ying hadn't expected her to speak like that, so she denied it repeatedly. "How could I dare to make such assumptions about my mother-in-law?"
"It's not that I don't dare, but that I don't want to." Tu Qingyu looked at her calmly, "But it's okay. I don't care what you think. This matter is already very clear."
This directly convicted Xu Ying.
She played with the Buddhist beads in her hand, her tone a little embarrassed, "The Pei family has always been the most charitable family. Your problem... is not easy to deal with."
"You just got married, it's impossible for you to get a divorce." It's so funny. How can she watch the show if she gets divorced?
Who will deal with someone like Tang Fu if we divorce her?
Pei Kangsheng stepped forward hastily at this time, "Father, Mother, it's better to divorce this vicious woman. If you keep her here, who knows what she will do in the future!"
He really didn't want a lame wife. This time it was Xu Ying's mistake, but it didn't mean he couldn't marry another noble lady.
If I could bring Afu into the mansion and make her my concubine, wouldn’t life be wonderful?
"You!" Xu Ying's mind, which had been a little dull, suddenly reacted after hearing Pei Kangsheng's voice. She turned her head and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, "Pei Kangsheng...you have no heart."
Pei Kangsheng: "I have no heart? You killed my first child as soon as you walked in. Don't you know you're wrong?"
Having said that, Xu Ying stopped pretending. "I know I'm wrong? What do I know I'm wrong? You got the maid pregnant before I even entered the house, and after I entered, you forced me to drink that cup of concubine tea. Whose fault is it?"
"Everyone says that the rules of your Xu Mansion are the best. I've been reading the "Rules and Commandments for Women" since I was a child. So it turns out to be a lie?
Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. Look at how jealous you are now. You have no tolerance at all!"
Pei Kangsheng accused angrily.
"Okay." Tu Qingyu rubbed his ears, "Stop struggling."
"You, Xu Ying." She looked down at Xu Ying, "You have a vicious mind. You murdered your concubine's unborn baby right after you got married, and you even tried to attack me, your mother-in-law. You are so unfaithful and unfilial.
But in just half a month, the whole family was in turmoil.
You made such a serious mistake today that I should have asked you to leave home or shave your head and practice Buddhism in the ancestral temple. However, considering that you are still young, I cannot beat you to death in one go."
"How about this? I'll punish you with twenty lashes. If you do it again next time, it won't be just twenty lashes."
"Two, twenty..." Xu Ying was dumbfounded. After twenty strokes of the cane, would she still be alive?
Moreover, she had seen servants in her house being beaten with sticks, and they were all stripped naked before being punished.
"What? You're not satisfied with twenty strokes?" Tu Qingyu raised an eyebrow. "What about thirty?"
Xu Ying stopped talking. She looked around and no one stood up to speak for her.
The companions she brought with her all lowered their heads, trembling, and could not even stand steadily, let alone stand up to plead for her.
Tu Qingyu turned to look at Pei Jian, "Ah Jian, how about this judgment?"
"Yeah." Pei Jian looked back at her, the ice in his eyes instantly melting, "Very good."
"Okay, that's it."
Looking at Tu Qingyu, who was judging her from a high position and deciding her life or death with just a few words, Xu Ying felt hopeless for a moment.
She lowered herself to the ground and kowtowed, "Please, please spare me some dignity..."
She was begging not to be punished by having her pants taken off.
"Okay." If I don't take off my pants, the fabric will stick to my skin and I'll have to suffer again to clean it off.
Tu Qingyu had no reason to disagree.
She raised her hand and waved, and someone immediately came in and dragged Xu Ying out.
After a while, the sound of heavy boards and muffled groans from a blocked mouth were heard in the yard.
Every blow seemed to hit the heart of everyone present.
Even Qiuhong, who was lying on the bed, was frightened when she heard this. She clutched the quilt tightly with her hands and did not dare to look up at anyone.
She was afraid that Tu Qingyu or Pei Jian would notice her.
Just after fifteen hits, someone came in to report, "Madam, the grandmother has fainted."
Tu Qingyu stood up and walked into the yard.
At this time, Xu Ying had a cloth stuffed in her mouth, and her body was covered in blood. She was fainted on the bench with a pale face, as if she was dead.
Everyone thought that Tu Qingyu would be let go and carried back for treatment.
Unexpectedly, Tu Qingyu curled his lips and said softly, "Splash it to wake him up, and finish the fight."
After drinking a basin of cold water, Xu Ying slowly woke up.
She thought it was over and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the board fell again.
After five blows, she lost consciousness again.
Pei Kangsheng and Qiu Hong looked at Tu Qingyu's ruthlessness from inside, and both of their faces looked even worse than before.
They looked at Xu Ying's miserable condition, feeling both happy and scared.
Tu Qingyu yawned lazily, as if the bloody scene before her had no effect on her at all. "Okay, everything is done. Let's go back to sleep."
