Chapter 66 Whipping
Chapter 66 Whipping
Shen Ruyan said: "This time when I came to the Shen family, I also brought back some high-quality medicinal herbs. I know that Hong'er's health is not very good, so I will take them to him now to see your brother's condition and see how he is recovering now."
Shen Qingyu did not expose her, but smiled and thanked her, "Then Qingyu would like to thank Auntie for her kindness on behalf of Honger."
Shen Ruyan ignored her and turned to look for Xiao Qingye again, only to find that he had fallen asleep again without knowing when. "Qingye, Qingye, wake up quickly, why did you fall asleep again, didn't you get enough rest?"
Shen Qingyu looked at Xiao Qingye and felt a little amused. What kind of person was Xiao Qingye reincarnated from in his previous life? Why could he sleep so well?
When Xiao Qingye heard the voice, he didn't even open his eyes and said something unclearly, "Mom, go slowly."
Shen Ruyan really doted on him, and she didn't dare to take him away forcefully at this moment, "Then don't sleep here for too long. If you really want to sleep, go back to your room. It's too cold outside."
Xiao Qingye frowned slightly, "Got it."
In order not to make Xiao Qingye angry, Shen Ruyan left even though she was very worried.
After the masters of the family had left, Shen Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since everything here was handed over to her, it was up to her to decide how to deal with Liu Yiping and the others.
As soon as he raised his eyes, Shen Qingyu's sharp eyes swept towards Liu Yiping.
She had not forgotten what he had just said, he was insulting her with great confidence, and he seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Things have changed. He thought that by biting himself, he could turn the tables, but he didn't know that it only made him look more shameless.
Miss Shen, who was usually inconspicuous, changed her previous timid and mediocre attitude and looked at everyone calmly.
For a moment, all the servants of the Shen family present stood respectfully and tremblingly, not daring to look at Shen Qingyu.
They finally realized that the second young lady of the Shen family, with the support of the lady behind her, was not someone to be trifled with. Now, just one word was needed to easily decide their life or death.
To possess authority for a short period of time is equivalent to possessing free will for a short period of time, and finally putting down the handle of the knife hanging over your head.
Seeing that everyone present was so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe in front of her, Shen Qingyu sighed secretly. No wonder the world has been shackled by fame and fortune since ancient times, and few people can see through it. Some people even pursue it until death and remain obsessed with it.
Just like Jin, she tried every possible means to stick to the Shen family and get more money.
For example, Aunt Liu tried her best to climb up and replace Bai Ying, so that one day she could become the lady of the Shen family, hold power, and enjoy endless wealth and glory in her life.
"Please take a seat, Miss Second."
The Shen family's chief steward, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, ordered someone to move a rosewood chair and place it in front of Shen Qingyu. She did not refuse at all and sat down immediately.
Shen Xitong looked at this scene and gnashed her teeth in anger. Why were she and her mother kneeling while that little bitch Shen Qingyu was sitting so high and mighty!
Shen Xitong was originally the most favored daughter of the Shen family, but now her status has plummeted. Shen Qingyu, whom she once looked down upon, is now high and mighty, while she has fallen into the dust. How can she be willing to accept this?
Besides, now that Shen Chuanhe has left, there is no need for her to pretend to have a deep sisterly love with Shen Xitong.
"Madam Liu, your good nephew has committed such a crime in our Shen family. If he is not severely punished, if the news gets out in the future, how can our Shen family gain a foothold in Jinling Prefecture!"
Shen Qingyu sat upright on the chair with a scornful smile on his lips, which made Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong so angry that they trembled all over.
Especially Shen Xitong, she has been stepping on Shen Qingyu under her feet all these years. Now that Shen Qingyu has turned the tables, the fire of unwillingness in her heart is burning fiercely, and she can't suppress it no matter what. Shen Xitong is so angry that she just wants to kill someone.
"Second Miss, please be magnanimous and spare us."
At this moment, Jin no longer begged for Aunt Liu's help. She had realized that even if Aunt Liu was favored by Mr. Shen, she was still just a concubine. She could not appear in public and could not make decisions. She even had less say than a fourteen-year-old girl.
She came forward and knelt in front of Shen Qingyu, trying to beg her sincerely, but the maid beside her slapped Jin in the face and said viciously, "The second young lady is a rich woman, how can you get close to her? Get away from her now."
As expected of someone trained by Bai Ying, he is efficient and decisive in his work, and speaks with some authority.
"Yes, I understand. I understand."
Jin was beaten so hard that she saw stars. Seeing that the other party was so strong, she knew she could not afford to offend him and did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Shen Qingyu.
But her son's life was still in Shen Qingyu's hands. No matter how scared she was, she had to give it a try. She knelt not far away, not daring to touch the corner of Shen Qingyu's clothes and skirt. "Second Miss, this was really not Yi Ping's idea. It was all your Shen family's concubine Liu. That Liu Hualing was vicious and could not tolerate you, Second Miss. She had no ability, so she instigated my son to lure you into the trap. Second Miss, everything I said is true. I dare not lie to you!"
Shen Qingyu is not a fool. If these people blame each other, they are just trying to escape the blame.
She would not believe these words. Moreover, although Liu Yiping scolded her happily just now, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. How could she let Liu Yiping go?
Her bare hands tapped carelessly on the rosewood chair, and each tap seemed to be knocking on one's heart.
She didn't say anything and remained silent, and everyone was terrified by this.
Shen Qingyu thought to herself, since everyone is planning how to seize the Shen family's wealth, why can't she do her part?
She was originally just an ordinary worker. When she had leisure time, she would read some novels and watch some TV series. She couldn't make any great contribution, let alone do anything harmful to others.
But if she doesn't fight for what she wants, she will just be bullied by others.
"Your son hurt me like this. If I let him go, how can I face people in the future?" Shen Qingyu sneered, raised his hand, and ordered, "Come here, punish Liu Yiping with a stick..."
How much punishment should be given?
Shen Qingyu paused deliberately and looked at Xiangyu. "For the sake of Aunt Liu, let's be lenient. After all, I am kind-hearted, so let's give you eighty strokes of the cane first."
Eighty strokes of the cane were given for the sake of Aunt Liu. I'm afraid the punishment was even heavier for the sake of Aunt Liu's face. Xiangyu smiled secretly. If Liu Yiping was beaten with eighty sticks, he would be half dead if he didn't die. I hope he won't covet the second young lady in the future.
Aunt Chen saw clearly that the Second Miss's temper was much more cruel than the Madam's. She was relieved and agreed: "Second Miss, you are just too kind."
Since Aunt Chen praised her, could anyone else blame Shen Qingyu?
"Yiping!"
Jin couldn't bear it at all and fainted immediately.
Shen Qingyu sneered. If someone had the guts to plot against her and the Shen family's property, he should have been prepared to be exposed. Now he was crying and wailing as if someone had wronged them. It was really ridiculous.
Shen Qingyu opened her lips and said, "Hit me!"
Liu Yiping, you can't escape this disaster today. If I don't teach you a lesson, how can I establish my authority in the Shen family?
The sound of heavy caning rang out, and Liu Yiping was in excruciating pain. He shouted loudly: "Second Miss Shen, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me!"
What masculinity, what a man never sheds tears easily, what a man's knees are made of gold, Liu Yiping no longer cares about these things, he now wishes he could kneel in front of Shen Qingyu and beg for forgiveness.
If you look closely, you will see that the Shen family's servants had already wet their pants out of fear before they even started to do anything.
The people present laughed secretly. Although the voices were small, the tiny laughter still reached Aunt Liu's ears, as if someone had slapped her hard in the face, which was really painful.
"Aunt Liu, I have already taught these reckless relatives a lesson. If anyone dares to gossip again and say things like Aunt Liu and my sister framed me, his end will be the same as what happened to Liu Yiping today." Shen Qingyu looked innocent and spoke in a gentle tone.
Her arrogance almost drove Shen Xitong crazy. "Shen Qingyu, stop pretending. You have no talent or virtue. Why do you take advantage of your status as a legitimate daughter to show off in front of us? What qualifications do you have to be the legitimate daughter of the Shen family!"
She had had enough. She was the best one and she didn't want to be stepped on by the loser Shen Qingyu. Anyway, they had already torn each other's faces apart a long time ago. Even if she insulted Shen Qingyu here today, what could she do? Could she use family rules to beat her?
Shen Xitong was arrogant and domineering, not taking others seriously, but Aunt Liu knew the importance of things, "Tong'er, stop talking."
Now is not the time to offend Shen Qingyu. The current situation is not favorable for them. After all, they still have Xing'er to rely on. They are not in a desperate situation today. There will always be a chance for revenge in the future.
"elder sister."
"I call you sister because of my father's honor, but you are so ignorant and insult me. Even if I don't care, how will others view our Shen family? They will say that the Shen family has no rules, no distinction between the superior and the inferior, and no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children."
Shen Qingyu's face was as cold as frost. She asked Aunt Chen beside her, "Tell me, what should I do if I insult a legitimate daughter in public?"
Even ants know how to survive by hiding themselves, and when they are not valued by others, they also know to be humble and submissive. But Shen Xitong is really used to being the eldest daughter, and she can't tolerate her younger sister climbing up to her.
It was her own ability that made the protagonist of the book look so miserable now.
Aunt Chen was quite cooperative. "If it was a servant in the mansion, she would be dragged out and beaten, regardless of life or death. But this is the eldest lady after all, and her status is naturally different from those servants. Although she is a concubine, the distinction between the noble and the humble has been clear since ancient times. If she dares to insult in public today, who knows what excessive things she will do tomorrow. Naturally, she must be punished and warned to prevent the servants in the mansion from following suit. Second Miss, don't care about the sibling relationship and forget the style of our Shen family. If it gets out, won't people talk about our Shen family behind our backs as not being a prestigious family?"
Shen Qingyu pretended to be embarrassed, "But she is my sister after all, I really..."
"Second Miss, you can't say that. You are the legitimate daughter of our Shen family, and you are of noble status. Moreover, today, Second Miss, you not only represent yourself, but also represent Madam. Since Madam has handed all these things over to Second Miss, you should not be soft-hearted."
Aunt Chen said, "If the eldest lady is disrespectful to you, then she is disrespectful to Madam, and if she is disrespectful to Madam, then she is unfilial."
Shen Qingyu wanted to applaud Aunt Chen. These words accused Shen Xitong of being unfilial.
Bai Ying is blessed to have someone as eloquent as Aunt Chen by her side. This must be something she has accumulated over several lifetimes.
Shen Xitong is in a miserable situation. She got angry several times and was caught by others and was severely criticized. I wonder what Shen Xitong’s mood is now?
"What Aunt Chen said makes sense. Sister is the most filial and is willing to be punished for Aunt Liu. Qing Yu will naturally fulfill Sister's wish. It's a small punishment, after all, Sister is a girl, so it will be less."
"Ten lashes, ok?"
