With the sound of the crackling board falling on the flesh, everyone's whole body shivered, and Yun Jingchu even hid behind Yun Jingxi out of "fear". However, Wu Shang in her arms had a cold gaze, without any fluctuation.
Yun Xiyu knelt on the ground, sometimes crying "Mother Qi" in confusion, sometimes looking at Yun Shangren pleadingly, begging him for mercy.
At first, Qi's mother cried loudly, but soon she lost the strength to cry, and then she became silent.
The two burly maids stopped the execution, touched Qi's mother's nose, turned to Yun Shangren and said, "She fainted."
"Pour cold water on him to wake him up and continue beating." Yun Shangren's voice was as cold as ice slag in the twelfth lunar month.
"Father, you can't, you can't..." Yun Xiyu knelt and crawled to Yun Shangren's feet, pulling on his clothes to plead for mercy.
However, Yun Shangren's eyes were cold, he just glanced at her lightly and continued to watch the execution of the four people.
Mother Qi was woken up by cold water, and then she fainted from the board that fell mercilessly. She was splashed awake again, and fainted again...
Repeatedly, she still gritted her teeth and did not admit anything, until the maid who carried out the execution reported: "Master, Mother Qi is out of breath."
Something flashed across Yun Shangren's face, and he nodded lightly, "In that case, drag him out and find a coffin to bury him."
Yun Xiyu sat on the ground and sadly called "Mother Qi" several times, and soon she lost her breath from crying.
Yun Shangren glanced at Yun Xiyu, with a trace of unbearability flashing in his eyes. Then he sighed and said: "The fourth young lady was not strict in disciplining her servants, which caused her to make a big mistake. She was imprisoned in the ancestral hall and repented with the second young master.
"
This incident passed with little thunder or rain.
Yun Jingchu also completely understood that although Yun Shangren was disappointed and angry with the children that the doctor had given birth to, every time he was punished, he was lifted high and dropped gently.
However, this was enough, because she soon heard that the eldest lady had fainted from tears after receiving the news.
That night, it rained heavily and the weather suddenly cooled down.
The next day, the housekeeper knocked on Yu Dan's door early in the morning and reported anxiously to Yun Shangren: "Master, it's not good. The second young master has a fever and has been talking nonsense."
Yun Shangren's eyes flickered violently for a few times, and then he said in a deep voice: "Take me to see it."
As soon as Yun Shangren left the Four Seasons Garden where Yu Dan lived, he saw Yun Jingxi and Yun Jingchu coming in a hurry, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Yun Jingxi strode towards Yun Shangren and said solemnly: "Father, I heard that my second brother fainted, so I came here to beg my father for mercy. Please spare my second brother."
"Yes, father, the third brother said that although the second brother did something wrong, we are a family, so father should not blame the second brother anymore." Yun Jingchu held the sleepy Wu Shang in his arms,
He also looked at Yun Shangren with a sincere expression.
Yun Shangren's eyes flickered, and then he spoke with a hint of doubt: "Are you really not angry when Jinghua treats you like that?"
Yun Jingxi smiled bitterly and said with a hint of ridicule: "It's been so many years. If I really wanted to be angry, my lungs would have exploded."
"..." Yun Shangren was choked up when he heard this and didn't know how to answer.
Yes, for so many years, the eldest lady and her children have made trouble for Zhu's room, but Zhu's room has tolerated it.
"Okay, I understand. You are good children, and father knows it in his heart." After a long time, Yun Shangren sighed, "I hope Jinghua and the others can also understand."
