Chapter 116 If you feel sorry for your daughter, then take the beating for her.
Madam Shen: You can discipline your eldest granddaughter in private. Now that you've exposed her secrets, how can she keep these men on the boat in check?
Once these men hear that she is a woman, won't they rebel against her?
"Second brother, third brother, gag her. I'm going to teach her a lesson myself today!" After saying that, Madam Shen went to curry favor with Liu Laohu.
"Sir, my granddaughter has been spoiled rotten since she was little. If we don't teach her a good lesson now, our whole family will surely be ruined by her!"
Liu Laohu nodded: "That's how it is. Fifty or sixty thousand rioters are about to return. I only spared your whole family because you are friends with Young Master Lan, and only punished the two who made the mistake. I didn't expect that there would be people who are not satisfied?"
Madam Shen: "I'm convinced, our whole family is convinced. It's all because of those two scoundrels. It's a disgrace to our family. I'm going to personally beat them until they're convinced!"
Liu Laohu hesitated for a moment: "Alright, for Young Master Lan's sake!"
“But I’m warning you, don’t try to fool us. They almost killed people on both of our ships. If you dare to let them get away with it…” Liu Laohu threatened.
Madam Shen just wanted her to hit her lightly when she did it, but she never expected that she would end up shooting herself in the foot.
"Madam, we're all watching, go ahead and hit her!" Liu Laohu wasn't going to let her get away with this!
Sudden
"It looks like a boat has set sail from the dock!"
Shen Lanxi turned her head to look over.
Wei Dongzhu: "They're probably here to chase us!"
Shen Lanxi: "Speed up!"
"yes!"
Hearing that the mob was coming, the faces of the people on the boat changed.
Some people are putting all the blame on Shen Yuanjing and Shen Yuantang.
"If we weren't waiting for you, we would have set sail long ago!"
"That's right, that's right! Your Shen family has dragged us down again this time!"
"We've been exiled with you; it's the worst luck we've ever had!"
Even though Madam Shen had considered trying to make a final push, she no longer had the will to.
If she were to utter even a single word pleading for Yuan Jing and Yuan Tang now, the people on the ship would curse her to death!
These two good-for-nothings can't even handle this small matter; they deserve to be beaten!
Thinking that the prisoners' anger had nowhere to go and would be vented on them, Old Madam Shen hardened her heart and picked up the whip to lash Shen Yuantang!
Shen Yuantang looked at his grandmother in disbelief, never expecting that his grandmother would actually hit him.
It was clearly their grandmother who told them to disembark.
"Gag her mouth tightly!" Old Madam Shen shouted as her granddaughter tried to break free.
For the sake of the rest of the Shen family, we can only ask our granddaughter to make the sacrifice.
Madam Shen whipped her granddaughter twice with force, then looked up at her eldest granddaughter.
She thought Lanxi would soften upon hearing about the whip, but she never expected her heart to be so hard!
If she treats her own sister this way, what about other people!
Madam Shen had an idea: "Eldest son, I think I twisted my back, you hit me!"
She wanted to see how her eldest granddaughter would get away with letting her father whip his own daughter!
Shen Congwen had been looking for an opportunity to go to his eldest daughter's side and ask her to plead with Liu Laohu on his behalf. He was taken aback when his mother suddenly called on him.
His mother told him to do it?
How could he do that?!
"Mother……"
Madam Shen handed the whip to her eldest son, then pretended to have a backache, supporting her waist as her other sons helped her back to her room.
Shen Congwen could only take his whip and go find his eldest daughter. He had only taken two steps when he saw his daughter walking towards the top of the boat.
Xiaoxue has come to deliver another letter!
"What are you doing? Don't want to do it? If you don't want to do it, let someone else do it!" Liu Laohu blocked Shen Congwen's way!
Shen Congwen was extremely anxious after both his son and daughter were beaten, but to his surprise, his eldest daughter walked away as if she hadn't seen anything.
He began to feel resentful towards his eldest daughter. Just because she was highly skilled in martial arts, did that mean she could disown her younger siblings? They were all her blood relatives!
How could she be so heartless?
The more Shen Congwen thought about it, the stronger his dissatisfaction with his eldest daughter became!
"What, can't bring yourself to do it?" Liu Laohu teased him when he saw him staring in the direction where Young Master Lan had left.
Shen Congwen gripped the whip tightly, his tone sharp, "That's my daughter, how could I bear to lay a hand on her? If it were your child, could you bring yourself to do it?"
Liu Laohu was taken aback, then chuckled dismissively.
"If you won't fight, let someone else do it. I guarantee that person will hit harder than you!"
Shen Congwen looked at his daughter with heartache, hesitated again and again, but still couldn't bring himself to be cruel!
Liu Laohu feigned surprise: "Really? You'd rather let others hit you than do it yourself? Is it because you can't bring yourself to do it that you let others hit you hard?"
This person keeps saying they feel sorry for the child, but is that really feeling sorry for the child? They're clearly just too cowardly to smoke and using "not being able to bear it" as an excuse!
Shen Congwen was taken aback by Liu Laohu's words, and his face immediately turned ugly.
"Sir, Shen Yuanjing has finished his twenty lashes!" Wei Jiajun deliberately reported to Liu Laohu, his tone calm and scholarly.
Why are you dragging your feet like that? If you really care, why don't you say you'd take the beating for your children?
Liu Laohu continued to taunt Shen Congwen: "See? Instead of wasting time on this nonsense, just finish the beating and be done with it! If you care so much about your daughter, why don't you take the beating for her?"
After saying this, Liu Laohu was quite impressed with his own quick thinking.
Shen Congwen froze again. He glanced at his son being taken away to have his medicine applied. He could still walk on his own, so the twenty lashes must not have been too severe!
"Fine, I'll take the whipping in place of my daughter!"
Upon hearing his father's words, Shen Yuantang's tears streamed down his face.
Her father treated her the best, and she was the one he loved most.
After thinking about it, Liu Laohu still felt that he couldn't stand Shen Congwen and wanted to beat him up.
Since Shen Yuantang has already been whipped a few times, Young Master Lan shouldn't mind punishing someone else, right?
"Alright, since you love your daughter so much, I'll grant your wish!"
As Shen Congwen lay on the bench, he heard his brother shout, "Brother, Mother has a chest pain. I don't know if it's a heart attack. You should go and see her right away!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Congwen hurriedly stood up and ran away.
Liu Laohu hurriedly shouted a reminder: "I'm short on time. Are you going to cover for your daughter or not? If you leave, I might have someone beat your daughter up!"
Shen Congwen didn't stop for a moment!
"What utter nonsense about loving your daughter? You're just afraid of getting whipped yourself!"
Shen Yuantang stared blankly at her father's back. Why did her father leave her like that?
I've never heard of my grandmother having a heart condition.
Does her father truly feel sorry for her?
Liu Laohu: "Shoot!"
Shen Yuantang no longer needed to be gagged. She gritted her teeth and remained silent as the whip lashed her body.
...
"Miss Yuanxin, the young master wants to see you!" Chunxue informed Shen Yuanxin and then left.
Why did her older sister call her over at this time? Did she want to teach her skills herself?
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanxin felt a surge of excitement, and she could barely suppress the smile on her face.
She can't laugh. If her grandmother and the others see it, they'll definitely punish her and take their anger out on her.
"Big brother, you were looking for me!" Shen Yuanxin placed a plate of pastries on the table with a smile.
