Chapter 809: Chapter 809 Poisoning Chapter 809: Chapter 809 Poisoning As Xuexue pondered,
Situ Zhi was held down tightly on a stool by several guards.
With fury raging, Situ Yongjie raised his hand and viciously lashed out several times, leaving bloody streaks on the back of Situ Zhi’s clothes.
In pain, he screamed loudly: “Ah, it hurts, it’s killing me, ah woo woo…!”
“How dare you call yourself ‘Young Master’ in front of your father, I’ll whip you to death, you little rascal.” Situ Yongjie, even more infuriated, put all his strength into another swing of his whip, hitting him several times more fiercely.
“Dad, Dad, I know I was wrong, please stop hitting me.” Unable to bear the pain, Situ Zhi’s tone finally softened.
Situ Yongjie whipped him a few more times before stopping, tossed the whip aside, and sat down on the stool with a huff: “You rebellious child, let’s see if you dare to be so reckless again, thinking you can do anything you want because your concubine mother spoils you. It’s infuriating.”
Xuexue poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, gently persuading: “Dad, don’t be angry, Zhizhi is still young and doesn’t understand, he will learn in time.”
Situ Yongjie: “Learn what? I think the older he gets, the more reckless he becomes.”
Just then, Situtu Qinger and Situ Yu hurried over with several maids.
Seeing Situ Zhi lying on the ground, crying out in pain, they rushed over: “Zhizhi, Zhizhi, are you alright?”
Since his birth, Situ Zhi had never experienced such treatment. In pain and fear, he couldn’t help but burst into loud crying: “Second sister, it hurts, it’s killing me, ah woo woo…! Second sister, when will mother return? I want mother, ah woo woo…”
Hearing this, the two sisters, Situtu Qinger, felt a pang of heartache, thinking that if their mother were in the mansion, their brother wouldn’t have to suffer .
“Quickly help the Little Young Master back to the courtyard, and get Doctor Wang to come and have a look.”
After seeing to her brother’s situation, Situtu Qinger turned around. First, she glared fiercely at Xuexue, then asked Situ Yongjie: “Dad, what exactly did Zhizhi do wrong? He’s so young, does he really deserve to be beaten so severely?”
Situ Yongjie: “Even at such a young age, he’s sinister enough to poison in broad daylight. If I don’t discipline him a bit, Dad fears he will stray even further.”
“Who did he try to poison?” Situtu Qinger pretended to be ignorant, still looking at him innocently.
“My eldest sister’s tiger?”
“Dad, just for an animal, you beat Zhizhi so severely? Isn’t that a bit too much?” Situtu Qinger said, then turned her head towards Xuexue, her words sharp: “Could it be that eldest sister, with all her power, is intentionally settling personal scores?”
After that, she added: “Eldest sister, Zhizhi is still young, please don’t hold him to adult standards, even if he really did offer a piece of poisoned meat to the tiger, it wasn’t successful, right? How could you let Dad beat him up so badly?”
As she spoke, tears began to fall from Situtu Qinger’s eyes.
What a perfect act of playing the White Lotus.
Inside, Xuexue cursed silently, knowing full well it was Situ Yongjie who did the beating, yet they deliberately pointed the blame at her, certainly bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Xuexue, looking helpless, said: “Second sister, eldest sister also feels very guilty. Because of my tiger, Zhizhi got hurt. However, eldest sister did try to persuade Dad, but he wouldn’t listen, saying Zhizhi is the only young male of the General’s Mansion, and must be strictly disciplined, otherwise, he won’t be able to handle the responsibility of the General’s Mansion in the future.”
Situ Yongjie also added: “Yes, Qinger, this has nothing to do with your eldest sister, it’s all Dad’s decision, taking the opportunity while Zhizhi is still young to discipline him properly, so he can achieve great things in the future.”
