"Uncle, please spare us!"
The maidservants knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. "Uncle, please spare us. We won't dare to do it again. We won't dare to do it again!"
They were just following orders and were implicated by Bian Ruohan.
However, in Lu Heng's opinion, if Bian Ruohan did something stupid, even if they couldn't stop him, they could have told him first. As long as they were loyal to their male master, they wouldn't have let Bian Ruohan cause such a ruckus.
"Guards."
"Yes!"
Lu Heng ordered.
Someone immediately responded from outside the door.
"Drag these incompetent people out. Give each of them twenty paddles and expel them from the residence."
"Yes, Uncle."
Lu Wenru calmly responded from outside the door, then called for the guards to come over.
"Uncle, Uncle, please spare us! Madam, please intercede for us! "
"Uncle, we won't dare to do it again! Uncle, please spare us! "
Lu Heng sat down at the head of the table with one hand on his knee and the other on the armrest of the chair. He asked, "Do you know where this is?"
"This is Huichuan County …" Some of the brainless people answered.
Some of the more sensible ones trembled and said, "Yes, it's the Uncle's residence."
"Then who am I?" Lu Heng asked again.
"You are the Uncle, the master of this residence."
The wet nurse kowtowed again and again. "Uncle, please spare us. This old servant really knows her mistake. It's just that Madam … "
"I don't listen to excuses." Lu Heng lowered his eyes and said, "You all came with Madam and are loyal to her. I can understand that. However, all of you are mistaken about one thing. This is the Count's Manor, and I am your master. All of you are wholeheartedly helping Madam to cause trouble, causing Madam to almost lose her life. I am only punishing each of you with twenty strokes of the cane instead of beating you to death. This is already very merciful. Your Madam is of noble birth. Don't tell me that her fright can't be exchanged for your paddles? "
Everyone was at a loss for words. They looked at Bian Ruohan pleadingly. The meaning of the Earl's words was clear. In the end, the problem still fell on Bian Ruohan's fright. If Bian Ruohan was willing to say "no fright" at this moment, they would be saved.
From the beginning, they had tried to persuade Bian Ruohan to stop her from pretending to hang herself, but Bian Ruohan refused to listen and insisted on teaching the Duke a lesson.
Now, the Duke had not learned his lesson, and the Madam had only been scolded a little, but they were going to lose their lives.
Although the Count had only said that they would be beaten twenty times and chased out of the manor, but on a rainy day, what was the difference between being beaten twenty times and being thrown into the heavy rain and then being thrown into the heavy rain and letting them die?
"Madam, Madam! Please take into account that this servant is following your orders, please plead for leniency from the Earl. "
Some of the maidservants were so scared that they cried out loud. They went forward on their knees and hugged Bian Ruohan's leg, begging for mercy.
Bian Ruohan's eyes flickered, and he unhappily kicked the maidservant away.
"What do you mean by following my orders? I didn't ask you to do anything."
Lu Heng sneered at the side.
His mockery made Bian Ruohan's face burn. He clearly knew everything. He was still scheming!
Bian Ruohan stared at Lu Heng with tears in her eyes. She felt so wronged that she cried again.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "What are you crying for? Hm? What did I scold you for pretending to hang yourself and almost really hanging yourself in the end? What I punished was an insensible servant. You are my Madam, so you are not wrong. No matter what you do, you are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are the servants. These people today, "he pointed at the people in front of him one by one," if they died, they died for your face. Ruohan, remember this. "
Bian Ruohan looked at the wet nurse and the maidservants who served her. What was engraved in her mind were their tearful faces and frightened eyes.
Bian Ruohan couldn't bear to watch any longer. She frantically looked away.
Lu Heng said, "Take them away."
Lu Wenru obeyed and brought the servants and guards into the room. Because this was the main room of the Madam of the House, the servants and Lu Wenru didn't dare to raise their heads. They dragged the kneeling maidservants out of the room like they were grabbing chickens. Soon, only Lu Heng and Bian Ruohan were left in the room.
Soon after, the sound of planks cracking and screams of agony could be heard from the courtyard.
Bian Ruohan trembled all over. Her face was pale as she covered her ears.
Lu Heng grabbed her two slender wrists.
Bian Ruohan frantically looked up at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Listen, they all did it for you."
Bian Ruohan shook her head repeatedly. Her hair was loose and her face was covered in tears. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have done this. I just felt wronged. I wanted to scare you and make you apologize to me. I don't want to be grounded. I know I was wrong. Please let them go."
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head. "You had the chance to plead for mercy. But you refuse to tell me the truth for your own sake, because of your own selfishness. Now that the planks are almost over, it's too late to plead for mercy. It's too late to confess. You better pray that they're lucky. Otherwise, if they really die, it's all your fault. "
Bian Ruohan's face was as white as paper. She had been pampered and spoiled since she was young. Although she was a little arrogant and had punished the servants and sold the maidservants, she had never killed so many people at once.
Every sentence was her fault. It was all her fault. It was so heavy that she almost had a mental breakdown.
Bian Ruohan screamed, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me! They're servants and I'm their master. It's only right for them to be loyal to me! I didn't harm them! "
"Up to you."
The sound of the planks outside stopped. Lu Heng also released his hand.
"Are you going out to see them off?"
Bian Ruohan trembled at the thought of the bloody scene in the heavy rain. She didn't dare to go out.
Lu Heng shook his head and clicked his tongue. "You're really heartless. Who knows, maybe this farewell will be the last time you two meet. Your wet nurse is among them, right? Is she always loyal to you? "
"Ah!!" Bian Ruohan suddenly screamed.
Lu Heng picked his ears and said, "Alright, I won't nag you anymore. You can't make this mistake again. When Your Majesty introduced you to me, he said that you were gentle and virtuous, and that you came from a prestigious family. Even if you give Your Majesty the wrong impression by putting on an act, it's best that you persevere. Otherwise, you'll be lying to your Majesty. Don't worry, the position of Madame Zhong Yibo will only be yours. As long as you manage the inner residence well, take care of yourself, and don't cause trouble and embarrass yourself everywhere, I won't divorce you. "
Bian Ruohan choked and said in despair, "You, you weren't like this to me in the past. You were very gentle to me. Is it, is it because that slut came looking for you again? You don't want her anymore after you have her! Her man must have grounded her because she came looking for you! "
