Wang panicked. Her husband had gone to visit the Fan family. If he returned and found out what had happened in the inner quarters, he would skin her alive.
"Sister-in-law, don't get agitated. The child is just being childish. We shouldn't hold it against her."
Yunmu and the others ignored her and went straight back to their room to pack their things.
Seeing that things were getting out of her control, Madam Wang hurriedly sent a servant out to call Yun Zhenchuan, "Quickly, go and call the master back!"
The carriage of the Yun family's eldest branch arrived at the Yun residence yesterday, but left early today. If this gets out to those with ulterior motives, how will the Yun family have any face left in Nanzhou Prefecture in the future?
Relying on Yun Zhenchuan's favor, the An family member behind them continued to arrogantly shout, "Their eldest son beat up our Hao'er and Ling'er, this debt is not over!"
Madam An glanced disdainfully at Madam Kong. This spineless bastard, her son was beaten and she didn't utter a sound. She couldn't swallow this insult.
"Shut up! Your son has caused a terrible disaster. Just wait and see how the master deals with you when he gets back!" Madam Wang shouted angrily.
This shallow-minded hussy, relying on the fact that several scholars in her family worked in the government, and being young, beautiful, and literate, managed to charm the master from the moment she entered the house. Children kept popping out one after another, and even Madam Kong was no match for her.
Kong was born into a merchant family. When her eldest son returned, he told her about the master's scheme. She understood the Yun family's eldest branch's performance and didn't want to get involved.
"Sister-in-law, Kang'er's words were disrespectful. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. I apologize on his behalf!"
Still grieving, Yunmu didn't even glance at her, and Kongshi didn't care either, pulling Yunkang away in a hurry.
Everyone hadn't brought much luggage, just some changes of clothes.
Lin Yinan and Yun Mo put their clothes into bundles, slung them over their shoulders, and walked out of the room. Yun Yan carried two large bundles on her back. Ignoring the obstruction of Wang Shi and the servants, the group forced their way out of the courtyard under the escort of the guards.
As soon as Yun Zhenchuan left the Fan residence, he was hurriedly invited home by servants.
On the way, he heard the servant give him a rough account of what had happened. As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard a commotion in the backyard. He lifted his robe and ran to the backyard.
At this moment, the guards were about to help Yunmu into the carriage. Seeing that none of the servants dared to step forward, Wang was anxious and could not care about anything else, so she went forward to pull Yunmu up.
"What are you doing?" Yun Zhenchuan shouted, and the people in the backyard immediately stopped pulling.
Lin Yinan, carrying a bundle, said in a cool voice, "Prefect Yun certainly has quite the airs of an official!"
Yun Zhenchuan glanced at her disdainfully, took a few steps forward and bowed to Yun's mother, "Sister-in-law, my son is unruly. It is all my fault for not disciplining him properly. He has offended you. I hope you will not hold it against him."
Yunmu shook off Wang's hand, straightened the wrinkles in her clothes, and said with a sneer, "I will not bother with the child born of a concubine. But you, Second Brother, are so indulgent towards this wretched thing, wantonly slandering your father and elder brother."
Yunmu glanced around the exquisite and luxurious mansion, sighed, and continued, "Second brother! I understand that you left home at a young age and have become estranged from our eldest branch. But one cannot forget one's roots. If it weren't for your father and brothers risking their lives on the front lines, where would your position and mansion come from? Have you ever thought about how many swords and shadows our eldest branch has shielded you from every year in the capital so that you can live in peace in this corner of the world?"
Yun Zhenchuan's face turned pale and then red as he listened to her. His hands, which were hanging down in his sleeves, clenched into fists. "Steward, bring out the family rules! Yun Hao is unfilial and disrespectful to his elders. He shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
Madam An's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. If Hao'er really received thirty strokes of the cane, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for months. "Master..."
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked weak and helpless, but Yun Zhenchuan cruelly turned his eyes away.
“Mr. An has failed in his duty to educate his son and is unable to distinguish right from wrong. He is hereby confined to his quarters for one month.”
"Yun Kang and Yun Ling aided and abetted the evildoers, showing no brotherly affection. They are to be punished by copying the Yun family rules two hundred times in the ancestral hall before they are allowed to leave."
The steward had already brought the family discipline whip, and Yun Zhenchuan waved to the servants, "Do it!"
"Father! I was wrong! Please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again!" Overwhelmed by fear, Yun Hao knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
Two strong servants stepped forward and pinned Yun Hao down, trying to pull down his pants to torture him, but he struggled violently to get away.
"Wait a minute!" Yun Mo's voice came from afar.
Lin Yinan looked up and saw the two brothers stepping into the courtyard, with large beads of sweat on Yun Mo's forehead.
The two brothers already knew about the matter on the way, and after hearing the report from the secret guards, they hurriedly rushed back.
"Second Uncle, how about I personally carry out the execution of such an unfilial and disrespectful person?" Yun Mo stared at Yun Hao, who was being held down by his servants, with a cold gaze.
Yun Zhenchuan's right eyelid twitched involuntarily. He couldn't bring himself to refuse, and mumbled, "Okay!"
Taking the whip from the butler, Yun Mo's lips curled up slightly. "Gag him, so he won't make too much noise later."
The butler had no choice but to take out a handkerchief from his sleeve and stuff it into Yun Hao's mouth.
With so many women present, Yun Mo didn't have his servants pull down Yun Hao's pants. He glanced at Yun Zhenchuan, gathered sixty or seventy percent of his strength in his hand, and suddenly lashed out with a whip.
"The first lash: Our Yun family men have been following their fathers to the battlefield since they were twelve years old."
"Ugh!" Yun Hao groaned, his mouth gagged, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhenchuan's body trembled, and his face turned even paler. He began his martial arts training at the age of three, and his father always made him study hard. He was afraid of hardship and did not want to learn martial arts, but his father never forced him.
"Smack!"
"The second time, my eldest brother, at the age of fifteen, led a team of thirty men to infiltrate the enemy camp, successfully burned the enemy's food supplies, and beheaded the enemy's deputy general."
