Hua Fushu panicked slightly and looked at Ye Zelin, only to hear him say ruthlessly, "Since she has violated the law, she should be sentenced according to the law. This general has no objection. My wife should teach her a lesson to prevent her from causing trouble in the future. Please, Lord Bao, enforce the law impartially."
Hua Fushu was stunned. Did Ye Zelin really want to punish her for meddling in other people's business?
Before Bao Changzhou could speak to sentence her, she rushed over, jumped up, hugged Ye Zelin, put her arms around his neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, and said pitifully, "Husband, are you willing to hit me?"
Ye Zelin nodded and said, "He who breaks the law knowingly deserves to be punished!"
How could Hua Fushu give up? He continued, "Are you willing to sacrifice two lives for one corpse?"
Bao Changzhou was startled, and Ye Zelin was slightly startled, then his starry eyes flashed coldly, "Master Bao, please ask a doctor to come and give my wife a thorough diagnosis."
Hua Fushu felt the greatest sorrow of all. He jumped off Ye Zelin and annoyed him greatly.
Ye Zelin was dismissive. Bao Changzhou ordered two yamen runners to bring Hua Fushu to the back hall. Hua Fushu didn't bother with the two of them fighting, so he walked to the back hall by himself, not forgetting to give Ye Zelin an annoyed look. Ye Zelin then followed him into the back hall.
In the back hall, Hua Fushu was lying on a vermilion bench. When she looked up, she saw Ye Zelin standing in front of her. He was tall and graceful, with a calm face and no ripples in his eyes. She was a little angry. Not only did he want Bao Changzhou to be sentenced according to the law, but he also wanted to supervise the execution!
The board fell, she grabbed the bench, bit her red lips, and looked at Ye Zelin's jade-like face. She was obviously in great pain, but she didn't make a sound. Her round almond eyes were full of stubbornness, rebellion, dissatisfaction, and even a hint of hatred!
Ye Zelin looked down at her, frowning slightly, feeling somewhat reluctant. This was the first time he had seen such stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes.
Suddenly, he became curious. Could such a shameless and naughty woman have the stubbornness of a man?
While he was curious, the six or seven boards had already been beaten.
Hua Fushu stood up, but as soon as he moved, his hips started to hurt so much that he was about to fall down.
Ye Zelin supported her in time, his face full of distress, "Are you okay?"
Hua Fushu pushed him away and said angrily, "Don't bother with me! You're so hypocritical!"
He was the one who wanted to beat her, and he only pretended to be a good person after beating her. Who would care? Others might care, but why would she care?
There were shouts outside, and Bao Changzhou punished those who participated in gambling and caused trouble with sticks according to the severity of the incident.
Hua Fushu straightened her body and swaggered out of the back hall, not looking like she had just been beaten. She looked at Bao Changzhou and warned him coldly, "Bao, if you don't take revenge for this, you are not a gentleman. Just wait, I will get this account book back sooner or later!"
She endured the pain and walked towards the yamen gate.
Ye Zelin bowed and apologized, "Master Bao, my wife's words and actions were rude, I hope you can forgive her."
After saying that, he quickly caught up with Hua Fushu and picked her up horizontally.
Hua Fushu hurriedly pushed him away, but Ye Zelin hugged her tighter and threatened coldly, "If you move again, I won't care if you fall to your death!"
"It's none of your business if I die!" Hua Fushu said.
Ye Zelin pretended to let go, and Hua Fushu hurriedly hugged his neck, really afraid that he would fall down.
Ye Zelin lowered his eyes. Hua Fushu met his cold gaze and quickly lowered his eyes to avoid his sight. He couldn't help but become quiet, like a docile lamb.
When they arrived outside the yamen, Side was already waiting. Ye Zelin asked him to hire a car.
Soon, Side found a car, Ye Zelin carried Hua Fushu into the car, and Side asked the driver to rush towards the General's Mansion.
Inside the car, Hua Fushu pushed Ye Zelin away, staring at him fiercely with almond-shaped eyes. She wanted to scold him bitterly, but she didn't know how to scold him. In the end, she could only say one sentence, "Who asked you to meddle in other people's business?"
Ye Zelin replied coldly: "Do you think I care about you? If you don't want me to care about you, don't say you are my wife if something happens!"
Hua Fushu was speechless for a moment. She did say this to Bao Changzhou, but it was a fact that he wanted Bao Changzhou to beat her with a stick, so she was annoyed with him.
Ye Zelin ignored her and turned a blind eye, which made Hua Fushu even more annoyed with him.
When they arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Hua Fushu was still annoyed. Ye Zelin wanted to pick her up again, but Hua Fushu refused. The more he moved, the more pain she felt.
Ye Zelin picked her up and said, "Don't move."
Hua Fushu really didn't move and let him hold her. She felt a warm current flowing into her heart, as warm as the rising sun.
After getting off the car, Ye Zelin asked Side to invite Doctor Li, and then carried Hua Fushu into the General's Mansion.
Side gave the driver some money and went to invite Doctor Li.
When they arrived at Penglai Residence, Ye Zelin placed Hua Fushu on the couch. Soon, Ye Heng, Madam Ouyang, and Gudu Lanxi came over.
Ye Shiheng pushed his son aside and asked anxiously, "Hua'er, Dad heard that you were captured by Bao Changzhou. How are you? Did Bao Changzhou bully you? Tell Dad the truth. If he really bullies you, Dad will support you!"
Madam Ouyang and Dugu Lanxi also hurriedly greeted him. Hua Fushu was somewhat flattered by this scene. Ye Zelin suddenly said, "Gathering people to gamble, fighting and causing trouble, it is only right that Master Bao teach Fushu a lesson to prevent future trouble."
The three of them were all surprised. They never thought that Hua Fushu was taken away by Tokyo Prefecture because of this. Knowing that Hua Fushu was beaten with a stick, Ye Shiheng couldn't bear it and blamed his son, "Hua'er is a woman, how could she bear to be beaten with a stick? Couldn't you stop Bao Changzhou from beating you? Look, Hua was beaten so badly that she can't even walk."
Ye Zelin said: "She has thick skin and tough flesh, she's fine."
Hearing this, Hua Fushu clenched his fists and wanted to punch Ye Zelin, but as soon as he moved, it hurt so much that he looked at Ye Zelin and held his breath in hatred.
Side invited Doctor Li from Xinglin Medical Clinic. Doctor Li was nearly sixty years old and was once an imperial physician in the palace. Because he offended a noble, he was expelled from the Imperial Hospital. Later, he opened a clinic. Because of his superb medical skills and friendly personality, he was given the title of "Living Bodhisattva".
He had been to the General's Mansion many times, so he naturally recognized Ye Shiheng. After greeting everyone, he asked where the patient was.
Ye Shiheng quickly made way and pointed at Hua Fushu and said, "Doctor Li, come quickly, take a look at my daughter-in-law. She was beaten with a board. How badly is she hurt?"
Doctor Li was slightly stunned, and then he began to examine Hua Fushu. As a patient, Hua Fushu cooperated very well with Doctor Li, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand for Doctor Li to feel his pulse. He answered whatever Doctor Li asked.
After a brief examination, Doctor Li said, "General, Madam General, and Major General, please rest assured. Madam General's injuries are not serious. She only needs to lie down for five or six days and take a few doses of medicine and she will be fine."
Doctor Li wrote a prescription, and Side went with Doctor Li to get the medicine. Ye Zelin followed him out and said a few words to Doctor Li before going back into the house.
Hua Fushu was in great pain, and Sanqiao had gone to the Qin Palace again. Ye Zelin understood and asked his father, mother, and Dugu Lanxi to leave Penglai Residence. Hua Fushu asked Ye Zelin to go find Lizhi. Ye Zelin glanced at her, sighed, and went to call Lizhi.
Soon, the lychees arrived and Hua Fushu asked her to get some pain-relieving ointment to apply on the wound.
