Master Mei thought he would make an example of him today and let the other children watch as he beat the boy and scolded him, "Are you just listening to your father's strict orders?
Today, your Aunt Weng will stop being angry whenever she calms down. If you can't get the forgiveness of Aunt Weng and your brother Mei Ruolin, you deserve to be beaten to death right here!"
The child Mei Yinzhou remained silent, and he carried the whip and whipped him until his flesh was bloody and torn, gritting his teeth and refusing to beg for mercy.
Mei Yinzhi, his younger brother with a bruised face and nose, suddenly rushed forward to stand in front of his brother and took several whippings for him.
When Mei Yinzhi was pulled away by the servants, the two daughters pounced on their eldest brother from the left and right.
Mr. Mei was not careful for a moment and swung the whip too fast, and the whip swept over his two daughters, which scared him.
The clothes on the backs of the two daughters were pulled open and blood immediately seeped out.
Mr. Mei had no choice but to stop and ask a doctor to check his two daughters. He also knew that it was not good for a girl to have inexplicable scars on her body.
But Weng Hui didn't say anything, probably because she was still angry. Master Mei turned around and raised the whip again.
But the shortest girl, Mei Ruolan, moved a small stool, stood on it to replace her older brothers and sisters in front of her, and also protected her eldest brother.
When the servants tried to pull her away, she held on tightly to the rope that tied up her elder brother Mei Yinzhou with her little hands and refused to let go.
In order to prevent the rope from strangling her brother, she stretched out her arms as much as she could, so that even if she exerted force, the force would only be on the tree trunk side.
The servants pulled her horizontally, but she refused to let go.
Looking at Mei Yinzhou again, his body was covered in blood and he looked like a bloody mess. Several doctors saw this and said that if the beating continued like this, he would die, after all, the child could not withstand it.
Only then did Weng Hui slowly say, "Forget it."
Mr. Mei waved his hand and asked someone to loosen the rope. Mei Yinzhou staggered and almost fell to the ground. Several children rushed forward to support him. They were all injured and limped away.
Mr. Mei Er looked at the backs of these children and felt bad, so he told the doctors to go and take a look.
He thought that the children would be afraid and beg for mercy after seeing him angry and seeing such a scene.
Weng Hui is also a kind-hearted person, so she just accepted it as a gesture.
Weng Hui came over and said, "I was about to speak up a long time ago, but Master had already said that the child should apologize, and I didn't dare disobey Master, so I just kept waiting for the child to speak. Who knew that the child would be so stubborn?"
Then he changed the subject and said, "I'm afraid those two courtyards will come over and cause trouble soon."
Mr. Mei thought that Yuan Zhixi would not suffer any loss and would definitely come to him to make trouble, but he did not expect that both courtyards were as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, without any sound.
He sent servants to inquire, and they said that the children were all recovering from their injuries. Master Mei then asked Yuan Zhixi and Shuxin if they had anything to say.
The servant said, "Madam and Aunt Shu are both very calm and have nothing to say."
Although Mr. Mei was still accompanying Weng Hui, he was not as focused as he was in the past few days and was always distracted.
Mei Ruolin wanted to ask a few children to play with him, be his masters, and be his servants.
After hearing this, Mr. Mei turned around and looked at him.
Weng Huirou said softly, "Second Master, please accompany me to the river." She turned and instructed Mei Ruolin, "You will stay in the yard for the time being. You are not allowed to go anywhere and you are not allowed to cause any trouble!"
The old lady's letter arrived, asking Mr. Mei to bring the second branch back home. The family invited the elders of the clan to open a clan temple and revise the family tree.
Mei Hexiao changed his name to Mei Yinxi and was ranked first among the descendants of this generation in the family tree as the eldest son and grandson.
Mei Yinshan, who was adopted as a legitimate son from a concubine's son, ranked behind him. Although he was given the status of a legitimate son, he could only be raised as an idler because of his stupidity.
After receiving the letter from Old Lady Mei, Mr. Mei lifted the restrictions on the two courtyards and prepared to return to the main house.
However, the servants of both courtyards reported that the children were seriously injured and it was not appropriate to set off now. They asked the second master to go back first, and they would stay here to accompany the children to recuperate, and then set off for the main house after they recovered.
Weng Hui then said, "I've been recuperating for many days. I thought my injuries were too severe, but I'm worried I might ask for something on the way."
Mr. Mei asked a few doctors to go and take another look.
Several doctors came back and reported to the Second Master that the injury was indeed serious. Mei Yinzhou was still unconscious and had a high fever. The wound might have been infected.
Mei Yinzhi's injuries were slightly less severe than his brother's, but his condition was not much different. He also had a persistent fever, and the whip wounds on his back had become festered. After cleaning, the wounds continued to fester and refused to heal.
Although the two girls did not have a fever, it was best not to move now in order to avoid scars on their bodies.
Both girls could not wear clothes because of their wounds. They could only lie down on their stomachs and cover themselves with thin blankets to avoid touching the wounds. They had to apply and change the dressings every day.
Fortunately, they are still young, so the possibility of not leaving scars is relatively high if they are well cared for.
The youngest girl, Mei Ruolan, had her palms bloodied by the hemp rope because she had pulled too tightly and refused to let go. The servants in Weng Hui's yard, under Mei Xuanqi's orders, pulled violently and violently, dislocating one arm.
Those two little hands cannot get wet now, and the bandages need to be changed every day, which would be very inconvenient if they travel.
Mei Xuanqi listened to the responses from several doctors and kept his head down in silence.
