The sky was filled with dark clouds and the door was closed.
Outside the house stood Ji Mingzhu's mother, her two brothers, and a group of anxious-looking maids and servants.
The astonishing roar of the old patriarch of the Ji family came from the house, accompanied by the sound of thrashing that broke through the air.
This is already the thirty-sixth lash.
"If there's any punishment, I'll punish you alone! Okay, I'll punish you alone!" The old patriarch of the Ji family scolded, and then there was another crack of the whip, "If Grandmaster makes a mistake, you alone can afford to pay for it! Just pay it.
Even half of our Ji family can’t afford the compensation!”
Ji Mingzhu, who was as bloody as a human being, had his hands hanging on the roof beam, biting his lips and making no sound.
The old patriarch of the Ji family was angry and waved the whip in his hand.
Since this long whip was passed to him, he has been whipping all the unworthy descendants of the clan. Even the seven brothers above Ji Mingzhu have been whipped, and this time, it is the first time that Qian Chong Wan has been whipped.
On the beloved Ji Mingzhu.
And he still smokes like hell.
Ji Mingzhu's mother slapped the door hard, trying to plead for Ji Mingzhu.
The old patriarch of the Ji family waved his hand to set a ban, blocking outside prying eyes, and whipped him hard.
"I have held you in my hand for twenty years, but what have I come up with!" The old patriarch of the Ji family was so angry that his cheeks were trembling and his eyes were red as he said, "Are you still thinking about ruining your reputation?
It just so happens that I’m spending the night with that silly boy from the Yue family!”
"Dad" Ji Mingzhu bit her lip and finally endured the severe pain all over her body and spoke.
"You stupid thing!" The old patriarch of the Ji family whipped him again, "Is it worth it to ruin your reputation and future for a man?"
Ji Mingzhu burst into tears: "I didn't expect things to develop to this point. I thought I thought."
"You think, you think!" The old patriarch of the Ji family whipped him again, leaving another deep blood mark on Ji Mingzhu's body, making his own tears roll down, "Do you think that because you are in the Ji family?
Being favored, because you are valued by Qianfu Peak, you will be imprisoned for a few days, suffer some physical pain, and then you can escape unharmed?"
Ji Mingzhu bit her lips again.
"Who do you think you are!" The old patriarch of the Ji family whipped him again, "The family has never been bigger than the sect, so we still go to the Grand Master Peak and show ourselves to the public in public again and again. If you are really smart, you should see me
Just accept it if you like! People are lending you the stage to sing in operas, do you really think of yourself as a role?"
"Dad, I know I was wrong." Ji Mingzhu finally admitted her mistake.
The old patriarch of the Ji family whipped him again, causing Ji Mingzhu's figure to dangle helplessly in the air: "That's not the only thing you're wrong about! You thought you could hide your desire to please others by finding an excuse to repay your kindness. At home,
Everyone looks up to you like a jewel, but you despise yourself and try to please such a poor family. The Ji family will be disgraced!"
Ji Mingzhu began to cry loudly.
The old patriarch of the Ji family was a little soft-hearted after being cried, but then he hardened his heart, whipped him hard, and said: "Do you know what disappoints you the most about dad?"
"My child." Ji Mingzhu choked with anger.
"You are just like that boy Ji Lianhao!" the old patriarch of the Ji family said sadly, "for your own selfishness, you did not take the family's honor and interests seriously. If you think more about the family before doing something, you won't do it.
Such a ridiculous thing happened."
"Dad" Ji Mingzhu was covered in blood and was about to faint.
"Don't call me dad!" Clan Chief Ji said with hatred, "With a family protected by a grandmaster, we openly rob men who are already engaged on the master's territory. If you are not my daughter, don't say that the clan will not spare you.
, the family will destroy your cultivation and let you fend for yourself."
"How can you not embarrass yourself alone? You have clearly embarrassed our entire Ji family! You claim to be smart, but you are so stupid!"
The old patriarch of the Ji family whipped him several more times, waved his hand to remove the ban in the room, and cursed angrily: "The family's love has been fed to the dogs, and it has spoiled you heartless things! I will stay in this house for the next ten years.
You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
A group of people outside the house, led by the patriarch's wife, forced the door open and rushed into the house.
Ji Mingzhu was covered in blood and hanging from the beam, unconscious.
Ji Mingzhu's two brothers jumped up at the same time and rescued Ji Mingzhu from the roof.
Patriarch Ji glared angrily: "She is not allowed to leave this room within ten years. She is not allowed to be given medicine within one year! Let the stupid thing rot in this room!"
The patriarch's wife also begged for mercy, but Ji Mingzhu's two brothers shook their heads to stop. This time, the younger sister made such a big mistake, so a heavy punishment would not be enough to convince the public.
What's more, being able to save one's life and not lose one's cultivation is already a relatively light punishment.
Those gatekeeper disciples who were dragged down by her have been sent to the most brutal battlefield between good and evil.
As for those gatekeeper disciples, they had no means to rely on to deal with the enemy, so they basically just left without returning.
The patriarch's wife couldn't stop crying. She helped the half-dead Ji Mingzhu to the bed and personally dealt with the whip marks on her. There were forty-nine deep and shallow whip marks in criss-crossing.
Half a month later, Mu Sheng developed a new antidote pill and rescued the newly poisoned group of disciples.
Yue Hongyun woke up again.
An Qingli sent someone to notify An Qingmi.
Regarding Yue Hongyun, An Qingli and An Qingmi also talked about it. An Qingmi said that an engagement between the two families was not a child's play, and they could not just back out casually.
Moreover, An Qingmi was sincere towards Yue Hongyun. Moreover, An Qingmi said that compared to other men, Yue Hongyun was already quite good, so she had to work harder to win for him.
Finally, An Qingmi said half-jokingly, why should she quit? If she quit, wouldn't it just be in line with the couple's wishes?
After all, this was a matter between An Qingmi and the couple, so An Qingli didn't interfere too much, but he still had to give the help that should be given. Therefore, An Qingli notified Yue Hongyun as soon as he woke up.
An Qingmi, and only An Qingmi was notified.
An Qingmi obtained Zongshifeng's permission and went to pick Yue Hongyun down from the mountain in person.
"Why are you here?" Yue Hongyun was a little surprised. He thought it was his friend from the same clan or An Qingjin who came.
"Why, my fiancée can't come?" An Qingmi took the sword and took Yue Hongyun, who was still very weak, back to Yue Hongyun's cave in the sect.
No one has lived in the cave for a long time, and the stone tables have been covered with a thick layer of dust.
An Qingmi used the dust purification technique and quickly cleaned up the cave. Yue Hongyun felt a little embarrassed, as if he was the guest here.
The spider lady said halfway that An Qingmi already knew about his and Ji Mingzhu's heart-to-heart ties, and that she was probably coming back to the cave for a showdown, so she asked him to think clearly before speaking.
The small cave was full of embarrassment and silence.
"Mother Spider, you go out first." An Qingmi finished cleaning up the cave and spoke first.
