Yu Ruoer always felt it was unreal.
How could her mother bear to punish her?
It wasn't until the whip struck her that she was brought back to her senses.
The pampered young lady, who had been showered with love since childhood, had never suffered such physical pain.
The burning pain in her back made her grit her teeth and burst into tears.
It must have been a gruesome sight, with skin torn open and flesh ripped apart.
"Ah! Waaah... Mother—you're so cruel, Mother... How could you punish Ruo'er?! Are you even my mother? Waaah... I don't want you as my mother anymore... Ah! It hurts! Ruo'er is in so much pain, Mother! Ruo'er knows she was wrong, please tell them to stop hitting her! Senior Brother, save me!!..."
Yu Ruoer's cries went from initially being defiant and making threats, to later begging for mercy, and finally grasping at a straw.
"stop!"
Upon hearing the news, Song Chuanfeng rushed over and was heartbroken to see his beloved junior sister in such a state.
He kicked the two men who were administering the whipping to the ground, yelling, "Have you lost your mind? You even dared to hit Ruo'er?!"
He was about to kick the other servants when his junior brothers and sisters grabbed him from the left and right.
"Senior Brother, it was Master's order. Junior Sister really went too far this time, actually colluding with outsiders to steal from the treasure vault. Master was in a fit of anger and that's why he dealt with her according to the rules."
"Yes, Senior Brother should go and plead with Master. According to the rules, Junior Sister should receive 30 lashes and be imprisoned for three months. She has already received 10 lashes, and there are 20 left."
Song Chuanfeng was furious and gave his junior brothers and sisters a good scolding.
"Just for this? Neither of you two will plead for your junior sister?!"
The two looked completely innocent. They had begged, but to no avail. Their master was determined to teach their junior sister a lesson, and there was nothing they could do...
Master values Senior Brother the most. Maybe Senior Brother can change Master's mind and the remaining 20 lashes will be waived.
"No one is allowed to touch Ruo'er until I return!"
Song Chuanfeng comforted Yu Ruoer with a few words, then stormed off in a huff.
As the senior disciple of Moyu City, his words carry considerable weight.
The people present obediently refrained from taking any action.
...
"Lord, all the servants and maids from Miss's room are here."
Yu Shuang's gaze swept across the faces of the row of people opposite her, finally settling on a tall maid.
Speechless. Whose intelligence are they trying to challenge?
She pointed casually.
"When did the City Lord's Mansion get such an ugly maid?"
The maid's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
An old woman revealed that the young lady had brought her back from outside a few days ago.
Yu Shuang said indifferently:
"Oh, just cut it down."
Huh?! Everyone was dumbfounded.
Well... being ugly doesn't warrant the death penalty, does it?
The tall maid clenched her fists, then finally relaxed them, displaying the same shock and fear as any ordinary servant.
"Lord, spare me! I am Miss's servant. Shouldn't we ask Miss first?"
Yu Shuang gave a cold smile and looked at the guards beside her.
Are you deaf?
Is the city lord serious? Wait, when has the city lord ever joked?
The guards drew their swords and approached.
"Master! Ruo'er knows she was wrong, please forgive Ruo'er for the rest of the whipping punishment!"
Before they even saw her, they heard her voice. Upon arrival, she immediately began pleading for Yu Ruoer.
The eldest disciple, Song Chuanfeng, was Yu Ruoer's devoted simp. He fought with the male lead for a woman, but ultimately became the male lead's stepping stone, dying a truly horrible death.
Yu Shuang gave him a cold look, "You've learned all the rules but forgotten them!"
Song Chuanfeng belatedly bowed to Yu Shuang, but when he spoke, he was still pleading for his junior sister.
Yu Shuang didn't respond to his words, but instead focused on solving the problem at hand.
"You've come at the perfect time. Execute that guy who disguised himself as a woman to seduce your junior sister and steal the treasure vault right here."
Song Chuanfeng then looked at the ugly maid and his eyes widened immediately.
It was a man!?
Thinking about how he had spent the last few days with his junior sister, and how she had always protected a man, he felt a surge of insane jealousy, to the point that he wanted to kill her.
"Junior Sister was punished because of you!"
He drew his sword and slashed at the maid who was dressed as a woman.
When Ye Tian heard Yu Shuang use the phrase "men dressed as women," he immediately knew he had been exposed and was already prepared to flee at any moment.
Easily dodging Song Chuanfeng's attacks, he made a quick getaway.
Suddenly, an alarm bell rang in his mind, and a powerful aura of death descended with lightning speed.
Ye Tian found it hard to believe.
The dignified city lord of Moyu City, a master of the Heaven Realm, dares to attack a nobody like me who hasn't even entered the Earth Realm yet?!
Ah! My life is over! Master, save me!
In a flash, Ye Tian unleashed a powerful burst of energy, shattering the fatal blow that was aimed at him.
At the same time, he crushed the talisman and fled.
Song Chuanfeng was dumbfounded.
I never imagined that an ant would have such a powerful trump card to save its life.
Even his master's personal intervention couldn't harm him.
"Master, this person must not have gone far. I will immediately send men to apprehend him!"
He was unwilling to let that person escape like that, and he didn't believe that the person had an endless supply of trump cards to save his life.
Yu Shuang glanced sideways at this idiotic villain number 2.
"It's no use. That person has a special physique. Not only can you not kill him, but you will also become his whetstone, helping him grow. It's not worth it."
She turned and ordered her other subordinates to supervise Yu Ruoer until she finished whipping her.
Song Chuanfeng was initially a little resentful, but upon hearing that his beloved junior sister was to be punished again, his mind returned to normal, and he quickly pleaded with his master for mercy.
