Xiao Jiuyuan did not look at Yun Lei, but looked at Yun Qianyu. It seemed that the decision-making power of this matter was in the hands of Yun Qianyu.
Yun Qianyu looked at the Hai Tang who was lying lifelessly on the ground and looked up to Yun Qianxue on the side.
Even if I can’t kill you, I’ll punish you.
“Sister, although this incident does not directly involve you, how could the master of such an evil servant not be punished? I think the death penalty is excusable, but there still needs to be some punishment. So, 20 beatings for you sister.”
“What?”
In the hall, several people protested. Among them, Yun Qianxue protested the loudest with her face darkened. At this time, she had forgone her elegant demeanor and was shouting at Yun Qianyu, “Why should I be punished?”
“If a slave misbehaves, it’s the master’s fault. You don’t need to die, but you still need to be punished for Hai Tang’s crime. It’s just 20 beatings after all.”
Her calmness when talking about punishment angered Yun Qianxue greatly. Only 20 beatings? In the future, I will be marrying Xiao Tianyi. This is not right. Maybe someday I’ll even be the woman beside Li Prince!
Thinking of this, Yun Qianxue looked toward Xiao Jiuyuan. After all, the final decision on this matter lied with Xiao Jiuyuan. If Xiao Jiuyuan spoke out, Yun Qianyu would be powerless.
With teary eyes and a pitiful demeanor, Yun Qianxue looked toward Xiao Jiuyuan.
Xiao Tianyi obviously felt sorry for her.
“Li Prince, this matter has nothing to do with me.”
Unfortunately, as soon as she spoke, Xiao Jiuyuan’s face immediately darkened. Seeing how Yun Qianxue was looking at him, Xiao Jiuyuan became even angrier and his eyes filled with killing intent.
“Bring her out and beat her.”
Not satisfied after saying that, Xiao Jiuyuan continued to order, “Bai Yao, you supervise.”
No one would dare to go easy on the punishment now.
Immediately after Xiao Jiuyuan said that the faces of Yun Lei, Liu Shi, and the old madam changed.
Seeing how desperate Yun Qianxue was, Xiao Tianyi quickly pleaded, “Ninth imperial uncle, it’s none of Xue’er’s business. You shouldn’t punish her.”
Xiao Jiuyuan raised his head and looked at Xiao Tianyi. A sneer appeared on his face as he thought, Xiao Tianyi, you’re a very capable person. But somehow you’re weak in front of this woman.
It’s obvious this woman likes to act weak.
Oh, I heard that this pretentious woman even saved your life.
Xiao Jiuyuan was actually very suspicious of this matter because this woman did not seem to be a kind-hearted person.
Of course, Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t care much about this matter. Raising his eyebrow, he looked at Xiao Tianyi and said as a warning, “Is Xuan Prince interfering with this Prince’s orders?”
Xiao Tianyi’s face became stiff. Xiao Jiuyuan was not someone to mess with easily. If I provoked him today, he would surely deal with me in the future.
As Xiao Tianyi thought about this, Yun Qianxue had reached out, pulled on his sleeve, and pleaded, “Your Highness, help me. I don’t want to be beaten! I don’t want to be beaten!”
Looking at the sobbing and pleading Yun Qianxue, Xiao Tianyi could not help but feel sorry.
However, just as Xiao Tianyi wanted to say something, Xiao Jiuyuan ordered with disdain, “If no one in this residence is willing to carry out the punishment, my men can do it.”
