"What?" Lin Wanrong shouted. He dragged his cloth shoes and ran out. What was going on? Didn't Madam love Second Miss very much? How did she become like this in just a few days?
"Little Chrysanthemum, tell me what happened. F * ck, don't cry. Tell me what happened. "Lin Wanrong said anxiously.
Little Chrysanthemum cried, "I don't know what happened either. This morning, I heard that Madam and Grand Mistress had gathered all the stewards for a meeting. Later, Second Miss barged into the meeting hall for some reason and seemed to be quarreling. Madam was angry and wanted to flog Second Miss. "
"She has to be flogged for barging into the meeting hall? F * ck, what the f * ck is this? "Lin Wanrong cursed.
"Third Brother, you don't know the Xiao Family's rules. The meeting hall is the most important place in the Xiao Family. It's the place where important matters of the Xiao Family are discussed. Without permission, no one is allowed to barge in. Otherwise, according to the rules set by the Xiao Family's ancestors, they will be flogged. Second Miss hasn't been in charge yet, and she barged in under everyone's eyes. So Madam wants to flog her. Sob sob — — Second Miss asked me to find you. She said that you can save her. Sob sob, Third Brother, you must save Second Miss. "
Lin Wanrong was touched and angry. This little girl trusted him so much in such a dangerous time. It really touched him. As for his anger, it was his anger towards Lady Xiao. What f * cking bullshit family rules. She was even willing to hurt her own daughter. Did this Madam have menopausal syndrome?
After running a few steps, Lin Wanrong remembered. He still didn't know where that bullshit meeting hall was. If he was a bit late, that little girl's butt would have bloomed. F * ck, why did the Xiao Family build such a big house for no reason? Was it to make it convenient for them to have sex in the wild? For a moment, he was so anxious that he ran around in circles, not knowing which direction to go.
"Lin San. This way, this way. " Just when he was anxious, his Young Cousin ran over from nowhere, "Lin San, you must save Cousin Yushuang, I beg you."
F * ck, a savior had come. Lin Wanrong wished she could hug this Young Master and give him a kiss, but it was too late to talk about anything now. He hurriedly said, "Where is it? Quickly bring me there."
The Young Cousin also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't dare to say more. He took Lin Wanrong and rushed to the Xiao Family's main courtyard.
After running for a short distance, he saw a two-story building. The door downstairs was ajar. Lin Wanrong looked around and saw dozens of stewards sitting inside. Lady Xiao was standing with a face full of anger. Lady Xiao was kneeling on the ground, her face full of tears as she tightly hugged her mother's clothes, as if she was pleading for mercy. Next to them, the little girl Yushuang was lying on the ground, and a servant had just swung a big wooden board — —
F * ck. Lin Wanrong's anger was monstrous. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he quickly rushed forward and heavily kicked the door open, shouting, "Who dares to hit — —"
Everyone in the room suddenly froze. They saw a servant with a crooked hat and clothes. He stood in front of the door, panting. That shocking anger seemed to be able to tear down the sky.
"Lin San — —" Xiao Yushuang screamed, then cried bitterly.
A person in the room who looked like a steward stood up and shouted, "Where did you come from? How dare you be so presumptuous?"
"Where did you come from? How dare you spout shit?" Lin Wanrong's face darkened, and he didn't show any weakness as he scolded. F * ck. Don't talk nonsense with me. This is what I rely on to make a living.
The steward didn't expect this servant to be so savage. He was so angry that his whole body trembled. He said to Lady Xiao, "Sister-in-law, this is a good servant raised by your family."
Sister-in-law? Lin Wanrong was puzzled. The master of the Xiao Family didn't seem to have any brothers. Could it be a distant relative?
Sure enough, Lady Xiao hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, don't be angry. You and Master are from the same family. What belongs to my family is also yours. Wait for me to teach this servant a good lesson. "
She straightened her face and faced Lin Wanrong. She angrily said, "Lin San, what do you want to do?"
"Madam, what do you want to do?" Lin Wanrong took two steps forward and glared at Lady Xiao.
"Xiao Yushuang trespassed into the meeting hall. According to the laws of our ancestors, she will be punished with fifty strokes of the rod." Lady Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "As for Lin San, not only did you trespass into the meeting hall, you also made a ruckus in court. You have no respect for your elders. You will be punished with one hundred strokes of the rod."
"Mother, don't." Xiao Yushuang tightly hugged Madam's legs and said, "Lin San trespassed because of me. Mother, if you want to punish someone, punish me."
"Mother, please don't punish my younger sister. Your daughter is willing to take it for my younger sister." Xiao Yuruo also hugged Lady Xiao and cried as she pleaded.
Seeing that Xiao Yuruo was willing to take the punishment for her younger sister, Lin Wanrong's impression of her improved a little. At least the two sisters still had some feelings for each other.
Looking at his two daughters kneeling in front of him and begging, Lady Xiao had mixed feelings. Tears welled up in his eyes. He held back his grief and said, "Yushuang, although you are my daughter, you trespassed into the meeting hall and spoke disrespectfully. According to the rules of our ancestors, you must be punished. Today, in front of the elders of the clan, I will teach you a good lesson. Come, drag Yushuang and Lin San away and punish them with one hundred strokes of the rod. "
Damn, she is really impartial. Lin Wanrong hated and respected Lady Xiao at the same time. He loudly said, "Wait — —"
Lady Xiao angrily said, "What else do you have to say?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Second Miss's body is precious. I will also take the punishment on her behalf."
"Lin San, don't — —" Xiao Yushuang cried and struggled. Xiao Yuruo hurriedly pulled her back and looked gratefully at Lin Wanrong. No matter what kind of person Lin San was, his concern for Yushuang was genuine.
Lady Xiao didn't think that Lin Wanrong would make such a request. However, since he accepted it, Yushuang naturally wouldn't have to suffer. She sighed in her heart and waved her hand, saying, "Since you have this intention, then punish her with one hundred and fifty strokes of the rod."
"Wait, Madam, I can take this one hundred and fifty strokes, but I must have a good reason. According to what you said just now. According to the rules left by the ancestors of the Xiao Family, Second Miss has to be beaten. I wonder when this rule was set? "Lin Wanrong said.
Lady Xiao said, "This is a rule set by the Old Master when he was still alive. Why, do you want to go against it?"
"Haha — —" Lin Wanrong laughed, "Rules are set by people. But they are also abandoned by people. When the Old Master was still alive, he had set this rule in order to punish those who had ulterior motives. But now, it was Second Miss's way of fulfilling her filial piety and expanding the Xiao Family. How could she be compared to those who were not good enough? Second Miss is the descendant of the Old Master. If she is punished by Madam, it means that she has evil intentions. What position would the Old Master be in? I think that even if the Old Master was still alive, he wouldn't want to see such a scene, right, Madam? "
Lady Xiao stared blankly. She was unexpectedly rendered speechless by this servant's words. She had already handed over the management of the Xiao Family to the Grand Mistress to handle. But today, when they were discussing the life and death plan of the Xiao Family, Xiao Yushuang rushed in and had a fierce argument with the stewards. She had no choice but to step over the Grand Mistress. As an elder, she directly punished Second Miss.
Xiao Yuruo saw that her mother's expression had loosened. She hastily pulled her hand and firmly said, "Niangqin, you have already said that all matters in the fu, no matter how big or small, should be handed over to your daughter to handle. Today, although Yushuang was in the wrong, she was also thinking of the Xiao Family. Moreover, she was originally a member of the Xiao Family. This is a matter of life and death related to the survival of the Xiao Family, she naturally has the right to know the details. "
Seeing that her mother was no longer speaking, Xiao Yuruo turned around and coldly looked at the stewards. She said in a cold voice, "I don't know what the stewards think?"
This Xiao Family was a big family with a big business. The stewards below were all relatives of the clan. That's why the Grand Mistress had gathered them together to discuss the plan. Lady Xiao usually handled matters swiftly and decisively. These stewards were somewhat afraid of her. When they saw her gaze sweep over, they all lowered their heads. The ones who were the most aggressive just now, also didn't dare to say anything.
Xiao Yuruo snorted in her heart. She then pulled her younger sister's hand and said, "Yushuang, since you've come, that's just right. You're my younger sister. You're also a part of this Xiao Family. You can sit next to me and listen to me discuss this matter with the other uncles. "
Xiao Yushuang softly made a sound of agreement. She stole a glance at Lin Wanrong. Her face was full of emotion and joy. She recalled Lin Wanrong's words. She wasn't afraid of the other uncles' gazes. She looked at the Grand Mistress and said loudly, "Jiejie, our Xiao Family can't ally with the Tao Family."
Xiao Yuruo sighed and said, "Younger sister, you're still young. These things aren't as simple as they sound. As long as it's beneficial to our Xiao Family, we must do it. "
As the two sisters were talking, the steward who had been scolded by Lin Wanrong suddenly said, "Grand Mistress, Second Miss is a member of our Xiao Family. We naturally have nothing to say when she enters the meeting hall. However, this servant not only trespassed the forbidden area, but also spoke arrogantly and insulted the master. If we don't punish him, it will be difficult to restore the prestige of our Xiao Family. "
Seeing that Xiao Yushuang was fine, Lin Wanrong was about to leave quietly. However, he heard the steward grab him. He was inwardly angry. This bastard steward. He couldn't win against me in an argument, so he resorted to underhanded means. He's really not a f * cking thing.
Although Xiao Yuruo felt that Lin Wanrong had helped her younger sister, it was impossible for her perception of him to change fundamentally. Seeing that the steward had seized the opportunity to make things difficult for her, she coldly looked at Lin Wanrong and didn't say anything.
"Grand Mistress, such an arrogant servant. If we don't punish him severely, I'm afraid our Xiao Family will never have a day of peace." The steward bitterly said.
"Lin San, although you're loyal and protective of your master, your loyalty is commendable. However, you trespassed into the meeting hall and spoke insulting words. If we don't punish you, it will be difficult to convince the public. What else do you have to say? "Xiao Yuruo looked at him and said expressionlessly.
Lin Wanrong sneered and said, "Grand Mistress, the Xiao Family's residence is very big. What does punishing one or two servants count for? In fact, you don't need to punish me. From today onwards, I, Lin, quit. "
"Lin San — —" Xiao Yushuang anxiously interrupted his words. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She walked to his side and pulled his sleeve, saying, "Lin San, you promised me that you would help my sister. Our Xiao Family can't collapse."
She turned her face to face Xiao Yuruo and her mother. A charming blush appeared on her face as she shyly said, "Mother, sister, Lin San is actually not an outsider. He and I have already — —" She gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Wanrong. In a voice as soft as a mosquito, she continued, "— privately pledged to marry."
