Chapter 218: Being beaten to the point of falling to the bottom
Dongfeng Lingshuang held her daughter's hand. "Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. If we made mistakes in the past, we admit our mistakes and will correct them in the future. I will teach you carefully from now on. You must know that only your parents truly have your best interests at heart. Whatever others say to you, you should first think about whether it makes sense. If you can't figure it out, come and ask me."
Wang Xiaoting heard the servants talking outside the yard.
"I heard that the eldest lady likes to beat people, and now those who were beaten have come to the gate of the mansion."
"Yeah, this time it's really a huge commotion. I estimate there are hundreds of people outside the mansion!"
"Every cultivator in Qingwu City knows that our Wang family's eldest daughter is an arrogant and unreasonable person."
"The Wang family's reputation has been damaged by the eldest daughter this time."
"It seems that the head of the family has been alarmed. I wonder how he will punish the young lady."
"Do you think her cultivation resources and food and clothing expenses will be reduced?"
"Isn't this as she should? I heard she has to pay a lot of spirit stones and pills this time. If these are deducted from her share, who knows how long it will take!"
"And the fact that she's bringing disgrace to the family's reputation is even more serious. She might even be kicked out of the Wang family."
…
"Mother, will Ting'er still have the chance to ask you to teach me in the future?" Wang Xiaoting's face turned pale after hearing this. She clutched her mother's hand tightly and said, "You have to help Ting'er! Ting'er doesn't want to be kicked out of the Wang family."
Dongfeng Lingshuang said, "Mother will try her best, but there's no guarantee of success. Also, you must change your bad habits from now on and never kidnap or beat anyone again."
Looking at Wang Xiaoting nodding hurriedly, he said, "You have to promise me that you represent the Wang family outside and must uphold the Wang family's reputation. You can't act recklessly. You have to learn to be a lady from a noble family."
"Ting'er promises you, Ting'er promises you." She replied hurriedly in a crying voice.
At this time, in the main hall of the Wang family, the head of the Wang family was sitting in the main seat, listening to the clamor at the gate of the mansion, his brows tightly furrowed, and his already majestic face became even more gloomy.
He looked at his confidant, Steward Wang, who had already found out the whole story long ago.
Steward Wang approached the Patriarch and whispered the story. Patriarch Wang's brows knitted together.
He said, "Is Ting'er so arrogant now?"
He had only heard that Ting'er was rather spoiled outside, but he had never heard of her causing any trouble. Usually, she was graceful, well-behaved and polite in front of him!
At this time, a handsome young man walked in from the main hall. He looked anxious and stopped when he saw the head of the Wang family and bowed.
The person who came was Wang Xiaozhong. He said, "Master, there are too many people outside. We can't control them. What should we do?"
Patriarch Wang glanced at him, feeling he wasn't steady at all, and scolded him, "What's the rush? Where's your demeanor?"
Wang Xiaozhong was dissatisfied in his heart, but he responded respectfully: "Master, there are too many cultivators outside the mansion."
Patriarch Wang looked at him coldly and said, "I already know what happened. Please sit down aside."
Wang Xiaozhong had no choice but to shut up and sit down.
At this time, the eldest and second uncles of the Wang family, Wang Chenhui and Wang Chenhao, walked in one after another. After they bowed, they sat down.
Wang Xiaozhong stood up and saluted again: "Greetings, father and second uncle."
The two of them raised their hands and asked him to sit down.
Patriarch Wang said, "You all know what's going on outside, right?"
Wang Chenhui looked at his second brother and said, "I heard that Xiaoting abused her power to bully others, and the monks even made a scene at the gate of the mansion."
Wang Chenhao glanced at the head of the family and his elder brother and lowered his head.
Wang Xiaozhong felt proud when he saw his second uncle like that.
Looking at Wang Chenhao, the head of the Wang family said: "Second brother, how are you going to deal with this?"
Wang Chenhao said, "Actually, Xiaoting has been under house arrest since yesterday. My son believes that we should compensate the monk who was beaten and discipline Xiaoting properly."
"Then let the cultivators outside send representatives in to talk!" said the head of the Wang family.
Hundreds of monks gathered outside the palace. Although monks were often captured and beaten by Wang Xiaoting, it had only happened in the past few months. It was impossible for her to beat so many people. Some of them were family members and friends of the beaten monks, who came with them, and some were thugs hired by Young Master Wang.
Everyone stood outside the gate and shouted at it, "Hand over Wang Xiaoting and compensate for the losses!"
The gate of the Wang family mansion was wide open, but there was a team of guards standing at the gate, watching everything at the gate majestically.
At this time, Butler Wang came out and raised his hand. The monks fell silent. They heard him say, "The master knows that my eldest daughter, Wang Xiaoting, abused her power to bully others. I have decided to compensate everyone for their losses. As for how to compensate..."
He paused, whetting everyone's appetite before saying, "There are too many of you. Why don't you send representatives into the palace for a detailed discussion?
Other monks can go to the steward to register the reason, time, and severity of the beating. The Wang family will compensate according to the severity. We, the Wang family, will verify each case one by one. If we find any false reports, we will not be easily offended."
When saying the latter sentence, Butler Wang's face turned stern, full of warning.
Everyone was nervous when they heard that they were going to enter the mansion.
Someone said, "Aren't they going to kill us?"
Steward Wang said, "Don't worry, Crown Prince. Our master is very fair and just. He will definitely handle this impartially. Since he promised compensation, he will definitely keep his word."
"Ah~ This... us little monks..."
Butler Wang interrupted him and said, "The others can wait at the gate while you discuss this. Send a few who can make decisions into the mansion."
Everyone discussed it in a low voice, and finally decided to let Gu Yue and the other two monks who were seriously beaten go in together.
One of them was beaten so hard that his realm plummeted to the lowest point, becoming a mortal unable to cultivate. The other was beaten a few days ago and was seriously injured, and his injuries have not yet healed.
So Gu Yue and two other cultivators entered the Wang family as representatives and came to the main hall.
Patriarch Wang looked at the three of them. Only Gu Yue didn't see that they had been beaten, but the other two could see it clearly. He politely asked them to sit down.
Gu Yue and the other three simply stood in the hall, bowed, and said, "Please let Patriarch Wang make the decision for us."
The head of the family said, "Were you all beaten by Xiaoting for no reason? What happened?"
One of the cultivators said, "I can no longer cultivate. I had at least reached the Foundation Establishment stage before, but over thirty years of cultivation are gone just like that. All because I looked at Miss Wang."
As he said this, the monk was overcome with sorrow and burst into tears.
Wang Xiaozhong looked at the middle-aged cultivator and complained in his heart: It took him more than thirty years to reach the foundation-building stage. It is a waste of time for him to cultivate with such qualifications. In this lifetime, he can only reach the golden elixir stage at best and then die. However, he does not know the hardships of those cultivators at the lower level. Many cultivators cannot get over the hurdle of foundation-building in their entire lives.
But being able to practice is at least a wish, and it gives you a chance to advance.
