C18 The Xi Clan's Punishment Was to Kneel(2)

"Okay, I got it." Shih Bihua unhappily agreed.

"Let her go up first!" Xi Zhenshan said lightly and waved his hand coldly, signaling Lele to go upstairs first.

Lele politely bowed and went upstairs uneasily.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Someone knocked on the study door.

"Come in!"

An old and solemn voice came from inside. Lele took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The study room was dark.

The classical decorative style was filled with a heavy vintage style. The smell of books filled the entire room.

On the mahogany reclining chair, the white-haired old lady was lying there peacefully. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she pretended to sleep. She felt that Lele had not opened her eyes when she entered.

Even so, Lele could still clearly feel the extraordinary and powerful aura from the old lady.

"Grandma..." Lele politely called her softly.

"Kneel."

The old lady did not answer, nor did she open her eyes. She only lightly ordered.

Although her tone sounded gentle, she did not say anything.

Lele was stunned and her misty eyes looked at the old lady who was still pretending to be asleep on the deck chair. She was slightly sad and still muttered, "Is there no one who is willing to listen to my explanation?"

"Kneel down. This is the family rule of our Xi family!" Finally, the old lady opened her eyes and shouted sternly, "If you cannot bear this kind of family rule, you can get out of our Xi family."

No one in the Xi family wanted to believe her innocence! Even...

It was as if everyone was looking forward to her getting out of this house!

But how could the stubborn her be so easily defeated by such coldness?

Lele smiled bleakly, but with a "dong" sound, she knelt on the cold floor.

"Grandma, I am destined to be a member of Xi family when I marry Muqing! As the granddaughter-in-law of the Xi family, I will obey the family rules of the Xi family. But I should not have been punished for not making any mistakes. However... Grandma respects you, and I don't want to go against you... If you ask me to kneel, then as a junior, I can only obey! "

Yes! Out of respect for her elders, even if it was an unreasonable request, she should still comply. However, this had absolutely nothing to do with the so-called mistake from yesterday!!

A complicated ripple appeared in the old lady's aged eyes as she stared straight at her, unfathomable...

"Kneel..." After a while, she faintly spat out a few words.

Mrs Yun supported her and slowly got up with a crutch. Then she indifferently ordered, "Mrs Yun, I need to return to my room to sleep now. Help me stay here and watch her. Without my order, you are not allowed to get up!"

"Yes..."

Mrs Yun's face was full of embarrassment but no one dared to go against the words of the old lady.

The old lady staggered out of the study.

"Has Muqing called?" The old lady asked Shih Bihua in the living room.

"No! Mom, where's Tang Lele?" Shih Bihua was a little suspicious when she saw the old lady come out alone.

"She's kneeling inside!" The old lady narrowed her eyes and answered faintly. She then turned around and said, "Call Muqing. Tell him that I left her here for the night!"

"Okay..."

Shih Bihua nodded and watched the old lady enter the bedroom.

When Xi Muqing returned home, the room that welcomed him was deserted.

That woman actually did not return home!

The deep charming pupils emitted a dangerous light as it coldly stared at the little turtle in the turtle tank that did not move at all.

"Tang Lele, if you dare not return home tonight, you will die for sure!!"

The malicious words practically popped out from between the gaps of her lips through gritted teeth. It was as if she wanted to tear the innocent little turtle into her stomach.

He had to admit that the morning newspaper this morning had thoroughly provoked him! As a result... For the entire day, his mood seemed to have been filled with a torch. It was so hot that he could scold anyone he saw. No one knew how many employees had bumped into his gun today.

Just as he was about to give chase to the woman who had not returned for the whole night, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

It was a call from his mother, Shih Bihua.

"Mom."

"Son, your grandmother asked me to call you and tell you that she left the person surnamed Tang at home for the night!" When Lele was mentioned, Shih Bihua's tone was very bad.

"She's at your place?" Xi Muqing was slightly surprised. He frowned and asked, "You asked her to go there?"

They must have also seen the newspaper this morning!

"Son, you actually lied to me on her behalf! I really don't know what kind of ecstasy this woman fed you!!"

Again...

" Mom, you didn't do anything to her, did you? " Xi Muqing quickly interrupted his mother's complaints and subconsciously asked her.

His heart inexplicably tightened slightly. Of course, he did not notice his strange emotions at all.

"Son, what are you asking!? Could it be that we can still mistreat her? Besides, she needs to behave herself. No one will say anything about her!"

Shih Bihua was cunning. She would never let her son know that the woman was being punished to kneel. If he knew, he would definitely protect her again.

" Alright, alright. That's it! Go to sleep early. You still have to go to work tomorrow!"

After saying that, she did not wait for her son to reply and quickly hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xi Muqing inexplicably became somewhat uneasy.
