After saying that, Wu Bokai took the three girls away, leaving only the servant who took Aunt Cheng to the yard and gave her a beating before leaving.
Fifty strokes of the cane. Aunt Cheng had never suffered such a punishment in her life. The area on her lower back was already covered in blood.
But she didn't dare to faint, so she could only cry and ask Xia Zhou for help.
Xia Zhou seemed to have just come to her senses. She had someone carry her into the house and waved everyone away.
He took a few steps forward and took out the cloth that was blocking Aunt Cheng's mouth. Aunt Cheng immediately began to wail.
"Master! Master, why did you just watch me get beaten? I was really wronged. I went to find Yan'er just to ask her to plead for me. I didn't do anything."
She cried sincerely, but Xia Zhou didn't respond. He just asked coldly, "Tell me, was it you who drugged me? Also, was it you who caused me to have no children?"
Aunt Cheng was so scared that her eyes kept rolling around, trying to change the subject.
"Master, how can you believe what they say? It's just a baby, how can it know medical skills?
They are clearly deliberately trying to frame me and drive a wedge between us, Master. You have to believe me."
Seeing that she refused to speak, Xia Zhou closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the last bit of emotion in his heart was gone.
"You have one last chance. If you don't answer now, you won't have to answer again."
Aunt Cheng had served Xia Zhou for more than two decades and knew his temperament best.
He seems to be very easy to talk to, but if he gets really angry, no one can pull him back.
Obviously, he has no patience with himself now. If he doesn't admit it now and goes out to see a doctor himself, the situation will probably get worse.
She would be punished whether she told the truth or not. She wanted to find a better way, but now she was really at a dead end, with wolves in front and tigers behind.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xia Zhou felt completely disappointed and walked out. There were so many doctors out there, he just needed to go and see her and everything would be clear.
Seeing that he was almost at the door, Aunt Cheng didn't dare to delay any longer and could only admit it quickly.
"Master, Master, please don't leave! I, I admit, I admit that I drugged her, but, but I did it for our Chang'er!
Please forgive me this time for the sake of the son and daughter I gave birth to for you. I really won’t dare to do it again!
Besides, I didn't really want to do anything to you when I drugged you. I just wanted to make you a little weaker so that I could find a way to rescue Ling'er.
Master, please believe me, we are husband and wife, I will not really hurt you, I, ah!"
After hearing these words, Xia Zhou felt that all his enthusiasm had been wasted, and he kicked the man to the ground.
He grabbed her collar angrily and yelled, "Bitch! Am I not good enough for you?
Aside from not being my legal wife, I've given you everything I could! What else do you want from me? How dare you drug me?
I always thought that those women were unable to give birth to children for me, so I sent them away one by one, and even my wife was repeatedly ignored by me.
After all this fuss, the root of the problem is you! What? Are you hoping that I'll die one day so I can leave everything to your son and this huge Xia family will become the domain of the three of you, right?
You're dreaming! Even if I have to exterminate my descendants, I won't let you succeed! Just give up on this idea.
From now on, you three, mother and son, will stay with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp forever. If I die one day, you will be buried with me!
Come, take her away and lock the three of them, mother and son, in the most remote courtyard. Have them strictly guarded and not allowed to leave until they are dead!"
The servants were guarding the door. When they heard his words, they immediately rushed in and dragged Aunt Cheng out in a few seconds.
Until now, she still hasn't given up and keeps begging for mercy.
But Xia Zhou had lost all patience to listen to her. He slumped in his chair, looking sad, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wu Bokai and the others didn't know what was happening with the Xia family. They were on their way back to the county government office.
Xiao Lingling's eyes rolled around, thinking of an excuse to get Wu Bokai away.
Suddenly, she smelled the sweet aroma of snacks and instantly had an idea, "Godfather, Godmother must have lost her appetite after being frightened this time.
I was thinking why don't you go down and help buy some delicious snacks for Godmother, or some of her favorite foods?"
Wu Bokai nodded, "Okay, I'll go buy some, you guys go back and keep her company first.
This incident really hurt her heart, so you guys should try to comfort her more, okay?"
The two sisters looked at each other and were extremely happy.
Only Qiaomei gave Wu Bokai a sympathetic look, but she didn't intend to say much. She just watched Wu Bokai get off the carriage.
The two sisters asked the driver to speed up, and they arrived at the county government office in a short while.
Qinghe had already prepared everything inside. When he saw that they were the only ones back, he quickly helped his wife out.
Xiao Lingling let out a whistle, Wu Tongtong helped Xia Yan get on the carriage, Qinghe quickly put the package on, and then they quickly had someone drive the carriage away.
When Wu Bokai came back with bags in his hands, all he had left was an empty backyard.
At this moment, he was dumbfounded and grabbed the cook beside him, "Where's the Madam? Why aren't the young ladies here?"
The cook couldn't help but find it funny and pointed at the door. "The two young ladies said that it was too boring for Madam to live in the county government office. It wouldn't be as good as the environment in the village for her health, so they took Madam back to the young lady's home."
The snack in Wu Bokai's hand instantly fell to the ground, and he held his forehead with one hand.
"Okay, I asked her to come and keep my wife company, but she went ahead and kidnapped her.
At least take me with you, you little devil! Never mind, someone, go check if there's anything the Madam has left out.
If you have any, pack them up quickly. Also, take these snacks with you and send them all to Shuanghe Village.
Just say that I will take time to go back every two days to see my wife, and ask her to take good care of her. Otherwise, I will punish her for kidnapping someone else's wife!"
Having said that, Wu Bokai felt a lot more relieved.
The Xia family has a lot of things going on, and maybe someone will come in the next few days. He doesn't want his wife to worry about it, so it would be nice to live in Shuanghe Village for a while.
Besides, with Little Bell here, it is safer than here, and he feels more at ease.
It’s just that the feeling of being left behind is really not good.
What to do? As soon as they left, he already started to miss them and felt lonely...
How about he go too?
Forget it, he is still a senior official after all, he can’t just walk away so irresponsibly, right?
I hope they have a conscience and can come back soon!
Little Bell: You think too much!
Wu Tongtong: Yes, but not much!
Xia Yan: A little more, but it doesn’t matter what I say, we have to listen to the children...
Wu Bokai: I am indeed a poor man!
