Chapter 283 Give Me a Beating
During their time in Lingnan, the two of them argued almost every day. Their relationship, which was not particularly deep to begin with, fell apart even further, and all they could do when they looked at each other was pure disgust.
Looking at Xie Hanyue's nonsensical appearance, Lu Jinzhi felt disgusted: "I really have nothing to say to an ignorant woman like you!"
After saying this, Lu Jinzhi strode outside.
"Stop right there, Lu Jinzhi! Stop right there!"
"Let me tell you, I am the rightful young mistress, I am your wife, and your two children will be raised under my name. Otherwise, I will cause a huge uproar, and it will be a question whether the two little brats will even survive."
Xie Hanyue roared at Lu Jinzhi's retreating figure.
Lu Jinzhi had already walked out, but upon hearing these words, he immediately turned back.
He grabbed Xie Hanyue by the neck and slammed her against the door. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Xie Hanyue, I could let you do whatever you wanted before, but the child is the foundation of our Lu family. You can't ruin my child. You should understand how easy it is for someone to die silently in this mansion. Xie Hanyue, don't mistake my tolerance for weakness!"
After saying this, Lu Jinzhi released Xie Hanyue's neck and strode outside.
Xie Hanyue had often argued with Lu Jinzhi before, but most of the time Lu Jinzhi gave in to her. This was the first time he had hit her.
She touched her neck, feeling somewhat incredulous. She never imagined that one day Lu Jinzhi would actually lay a hand on her.
"Lu Jinzhi, let me tell you, no matter how unwilling you are, I will never leave you!"
"I will always be your wife!"
With tears in her eyes, Xie Hanyue roared in the direction Lu Jinzhi had left.
She didn't understand why she and Lu Jinzhi had ended up like this. They had been together since childhood, and Lu Jinzhi had always loved her dearly. At first, Xie Hanyue even thought that she would be very happy if she married Lu Jinzhi.
But I never expected things to turn out this way!
She took a deep breath and stumbled to her feet, only to see Ling'er standing at the door, staring at her intently.
"You little bitch, you think you're worthy to laugh at me?"
Ling'er had no expression, but when she looked at Xie Hanyue, her eyes were full of mockery and disdain.
"I don't understand what you mean by that, Mother."
"But Mother, why are you lying on the ground?"
Ling'er walked over, looking at Xie Hanyue with a face full of curiosity.
Seeing the provocation in Ling'er's eyes, Xie Hanyue did not hesitate at all and slapped her hard, causing Ling'er's nose to bleed.
Ling'er remained calm and didn't even cry. She simply knelt on the ground and began kowtowing repeatedly.
"Mother, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
Madam Lu originally wanted to come over and talk to Xie Hanyue about the family rules, but she never expected to see Xie Hanyue showing off her power and abusing her granddaughter as soon as she arrived.
She strode forward, frowning and looking at Xie Hanyue with displeasure. Then she bent down and helped the child up from the ground: "Xie Hanyue, what are you doing, acting crazy in the middle of the day? No matter who this child's birth mother is, he is a member of the Lu family. It's not your place to mistreat him!"
"It was clearly her who provoked me at every turn, so how come it's still my fault?" Xie Hanyue gritted her teeth, frowned, and looked at Madam Lu with great dissatisfaction.
What?
Madam Lu was stunned by Xie Hanyue's words.
She looked at Xie Hanyue in disbelief, never expecting her daughter-in-law to speak to her like that.
"How dare you! Although you were adopted into the Xie family, shouldn't Madam Wang have taught you manners and a sense of shame? How dare you talk back to your mother-in-law like this?"
"Guards, take her to the ancestral hall, make her kneel before the ancestors, and repent!"
Madam Lu held Ling'er, whose head was covered in blood, and gave orders to the old woman behind her.
Those old women were all Madam Lu's confidantes, so they ignored Xie Hanyue's struggles and curses and rushed forward one by one, grabbing Xie Hanyue and walking together towards the ancestral hall.
When Xie Qingran returned home, she saw Xiao Yu, Xiao Yanran, and Xiao Jin, the three little devils, all standing in the front hall. Mr. Bai's white clothes had turned black, and he stood there with a cold expression, clearly waiting for her to return.
this……
Just seeing this scene made Xie Qingran's head start to throb.
She stepped forward, smiled at Mr. Bai, then placed the pastries she was holding on the table and looked curiously at the group of little kids: "Mr. Bai, what's this?"
"Miss and Young Master gave me a small gift. I think the color is nice and the pattern is elegant, so I came to share it with Madam." Mr. Bai smiled faintly, his tone laced with sarcasm.
Well……
Xie Qingran's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She frowned and looked at the three little kids beside her with displeasure: "What exactly happened?"
"I...I don't know."
Xiao Yanran avoided eye contact, clearly not intending to admit to the matter.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Jin didn't dare to look at Xie Qingran at all, and simply avoided her gaze.
Seeing this, Xie Qingran immediately understood everything. She smiled at Mr. Bai and said in a gentle tone, "It's all my fault for not disciplining them properly and offending you, sir. Please go back and rest well. I will definitely punish the children properly and apologize to you."
"Since I've taken on the role of teacher, I've naturally made such preparations."
"I just wonder how Madam intends to punish these children?"
Mr. Bai wasn't in a hurry to change out of his disheveled state; instead, he looked at Xie Qingran with some curiosity.
Xie Qingran thought for a moment, then said calmly, "Since they dislike writing so much, then naturally we should make them write properly."
"You three, kneel down!" Xie Qingran shouted coldly.
The three little children almost instinctively knelt on the ground, heads down, not daring to meet Xie Qingran's angry eyes.
Xie Qingran sat down in a chair.
"Bring me pen and ink."
“When you have written the ‘Great Harmony’ chapter of the Book of Rites fifty times, you can get up and continue writing it right here.”
"I'll stay here and write with you."
Xie Qingran said something expressionless that made the children want to die immediately.
"Sister-in-law, how about we get a beating instead?"
