Steward Lin: "Song Chiyou, as the young lady's bodyguard, you failed to protect her safety and put her in danger. You deserve to be beaten."
"Are you still convinced after I beat you today?"
At the scene of the family discipline, both rows were filled with strong men in black suits, and in the middle sat a young man in a dark blue suit, with a pair of calm eyes, looking very gentle.
"It was my fault that I failed to protect the young lady. I admit defeat." Song Chiyou's weak voice came slowly.
The sound of the stick hitting the flesh was muffled, the kind that hurt just by hearing it.
"stop."
"Miss."
Xu Qiudong walked over slowly, and the thug put down his stick and bowed towards Xu Qiudong.
"Qiu'er, why are you here?" Xu Yilin stood up from the chair where he was watching, walked towards her and asked gently.
Xu Qiudong stood beside Song Chiyou, looking like he was supporting him.
"I'll take him back."
Steward Lin: "Miss, he still has fifty-six strokes left to be struck."
"I'm going to take him away right now." Xu Qiudong glanced at Butler Lin and said coldly, "Why? My words don't work?"
"No, Miss, you misunderstood me. I just think that if the punishment is not completed, the rules will lose their dignity."
Xu Yilin tried to persuade Xu Qiudong, "He's not without reason. We have our own rules. If we set a precedent today, there's no guarantee that everyone will try every possible means to escape punishment in the future."
Xu Qiudong lowered his eyes and glanced at Song Chiyou, who was lying on the bench. Then he raised his eyes and said, "I want to know if there is any punishment for contradicting the master in your complicated rules?"
Steward Lin's expression remained unchanged. "My dear Miss, these rules were set by the head of the family. I am in charge of their implementation. Even if the head of the family were here in person, I would still follow the rules."
"If you think I've offended you, you can go and tell the Patriarch and see how he punishes me."
Xu Qiudong chuckled and said coldly, "Okay, I'll repay your loyalty today. Let's continue the fight."
Xu Qiudong raised his feet and sat on Xu Yilin's seat, while Xu Yilin stood obediently beside Xu Qiudong.
There is a world of difference between newborn and adopted status.
One stick after another hit Song Chiyou's back. Song Chiyou gritted his teeth and tried not to scream. He raised his eyes with difficulty and looked at the noble figure.
How come she came here?
Xu Qiudong lowered his eyes and wrote down every single thing in his mind.
Housekeeper Lin: "Miss, the fight is over."
Xu Yilin said nervously, "Help him up quickly, send him back to his room to rest, and then find a doctor to see him."
"yes."
"Wait, come here."
Song Chiyou was held by two people, one on each side, with blood and flesh already covering his back. "Miss."
"Stand here and watch."
Song Chiyou nodded.
"If you talk back to me, how should you be punished according to the rules?"
Xu Yilin came out to smooth things over again, "Qiu'er, Steward Lin is old and I'm afraid he can't withstand these hundred blows. Please let him go."
Xu Qiudong smiled broadly, "Thanks for the reminder. I'll give him a hundred lashes."
No one dared to move.
"It seems that my words are useless."
Xu Qiudong has never been involved in the affairs of the Xu family. Recently, she has lost the favor of the head of the family one after another because of her entry into the entertainment industry. The head of the family has no intention of letting her take over the Xu family. On the contrary, Xu Yilin is more popular in the Xu family.
The Xu family is a large family, and the servants here are used to serving people according to the situation.
