Chapter 57 Pretending to be stunned to avoid punishment
Qingrong lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Yes." After saying that, she walked back to the ancestral hall.
After seeing Qingrong leave, Xue Shao immediately said: "Master, let her kneel down all night. This punishment is too severe. The weather is so cold now and Sanniang is weak. How can we let her stay in the ancestral hall all night?"
Xue Fangji and Lu also advised him not to punish her so harshly. Xue Fangji said: "That's all, she was just in a hurry for Shiro, so why do you punish her so harshly?"
Xue's father looked relaxed. He didn't want to do anything to Qing Rong, he just wanted to set rules. Xue Shao continued: "If grandpa is determined to punish her, I will do it for her."
Su Shi said: "You can't do it! Fourth brother, are you still injured? How can you kneel all night?"
"I can't be alone if she is punished."
These words made both Chu and Su stunned. They naturally knew that Xue Shao treated Qingrong well, but they never thought that Xue Shao treated Qingrong so well...
Father Xue was furious when he saw his donkey-like temper. He said angrily: "Kneel down!"
Without saying a word, Xue Shao went out to chase Qing Rong and was punished together. Xue's father was so angry that he walked away.
In the ancestral hall.
Azhen glanced at the ancestral tablets all over the wall, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Qingrong, "Madam, do you really want to kneel here all night? I don't know how cold it is at night? What if I get cold?"
Qingrong shook his head, "You don't have to accompany me to kneel down as a punishment. Go wait outside. Just go back to Lide Hall at some time."
Songyue said: "How can that be done? How can I let my wife be here alone!"
With that said, Xue Shao also came in from outside. A Zhen and Song Yue were shocked when they saw it was Xue Shao, "A Lang, why are you here?"
"You guys go down first."
A Zhen and Song Yue were speechless when they saw Qing Rong and followed the instructions and left.
Qingrong watched him kneel down beside her and couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He wrote lightly: "We were punished together."
"What are you kidding about? Your injuries haven't healed yet?" Seeing Xue Shao not taking her body seriously, Qingrong felt a little angry between her brows.
"You are in worse shape than me, why don't you think you can kneel here all night?"
Qingrong looked at him, sighed softly, softened her tone and said, "Then you don't have to be punished for your crime."
He looked at Qingrong with a sincere expression and said with emotion, "I never thought about it."
"What?"
He thought, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and turned his eyes forward, "You will also stand up for me and be willing to be punished."
Qingrong didn't say anything, but listened to him seriously: "It feels good, but don't do it next time."
Qingrong was slightly surprised, "Why? You don't want me to be like this?"
Xue Shao shook his head and said word by word: "I don't want you to be angry, let alone because of me."
Qingrong was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and asked him, "If I were to be humiliated today and charged with an innocent crime, would you turn a blind eye?"
Without any hesitation, he said, "No!"
Qingrong turned her head calmly and firmly, "I don't know how either. So, you don't need to say any more."
Xue Shao looked at her blankly, feeling that his heart suddenly became extremely soft, and he didn't say anything for a long time. In the end, he only choked out one sentence, "You are so kind."
Qingrong was amused and laughed, shook her head and said, "Sometimes I think you are glib, but sometimes I think you are very stupid."
Xue Shao felt that he was just telling the truth and was not glib at all.
After a while, he asked: "Tired of kneeling? Shall I take you back?"
Qingrong thought he was joking and said, "Master, didn't you ask me to kneel down until tomorrow?"
"What do you do if you listen to him?" His disapproval looked a bit dandy, which made people feel both angry and helpless.
Qingrong was amused, "Then what do you want?"
"Of course I don't want you to be punished. You'll know in a moment." After saying that, he stood up and strode outside, shouting: "Come here! The lady has fainted!"
Qingrong was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then realized that Xue Shao actually told him to pretend to be faint!
This kind of trick is too easy for people to see through, but Xue Shao shouted and called everyone over, and she couldn't defeat him.
Qingrong stood up, stood still for a moment, looked around, and listened to the approaching footsteps outside. In desperation, Qingrong's heart skipped a beat, and she had no choice but to cooperate with Xue Shao. She hurriedly fell down on the cushions, and immediately fainted.
