C48 Lin Ruo Xi Was Beaten up

"Drag the First Lady down," Lin Fu Cheng ordered the servants. He ignored the First Lady's cries and ordered, "Execute her."

The servants dragged Lin Ruo Xi onto a stool and each of them held a long rod and stood on either side of Lin Ruo Xi. Each of them began to execute her.

"Ah!" Lin Ruo Xi cried out in pain as the rod struck her.

Then, the second, third, and fourth rods struck her. Each time, Lin Ruo Xi cried out in pain. The entire courtyard was filled with sadness. The First Lady could not bear to see her daughter suffer, so she rushed over and laid on Lin Ruo Xi's body. She said to the Grand Lady who was standing on the stairs, "Mother, Ruo Xi is wrong. Ruo Xi is really wrong. Please let Ruo Xi go."

After saying that, the First Lady quickly lowered her head and said to Lin Ruo Xi, "Ruo Xi, hurry up and apologize to Ancestor Grandmother. Say that you know you're wrong and won't dare to do it again."

Lin Ruo Xi was already on the verge of death. She opened her mouth and closed it, but she could not hear a single sound. She was in so much pain that she could not even make a sound.

The Grand Lady's heart softened. She remembered how she doted on Lin Ruo Xi when she was young. After she grew up, she had always followed her. Now that she saw her suffer, her heart ached. She asked loudly, "Ruo Xi, are you really wrong?"

Lin Ruo Xi was speechless and could only nod her head.

“Will you do it again in the future?” Grand Lady asked again.

Lin Ruo Xi held back her tears and gritted her teeth as she shook her head.

Grand Lady let out a long sigh and said to the servants, “All of you, stop. Since you know that you are in the wrong, go back to your rooms and reflect on your mistakes. Remember not to cause any more trouble.”

When the First Lady heard Grand Lady’s words, she quickly carried Lin Ruo Xi up and said, “Mother, don’t worry. I will definitely discipline Ruo Xi well.”

“That’s good. Please get a doctor to take a good look at her.” With that, Grand Lady told Lan Xiu to help her up and left.

When Lin Fu Cheng saw that his mother had left, he asked Qing He to go and invite a doctor. After that, he glanced at Lin Ruo Xi and her mother before turning to leave.

The First Lady helped Lin Ruo Xi stand up. When she saw that everyone had left, she let go of Lin Ruo Xi.

She turned to the servants and said, “You did well. You should know what to do about what happened today, right?”

The servants all nodded and said, “Rest assured, First Lady. We all know what to do.”

“Give the money to your brothers to drink. Remember what I told you.” Lin Ruo Xi took out the money pouch from her sleeve and handed it to the nearest servant.

“Madam, Miss, don’t worry.” The servants received the money and carried the wooden sticks away.

Lin Ruo Xi stood up straight and said to the First Lady, “Mother, quickly take out the things. I’m about to die from the heat.”

The First Lady covered Lin Ruo Xi’s mouth and whispered, “It’s not the time yet. Let’s go back first and talk after we get back to the house.”

Lin Ruo Xi also understood the logic of having ears in the wall. She quickly pretended to be weak and leaned against the First Lady. The two of them slowly moved back. After returning to the courtyard, Lin Ruo Xi walked into the house and took out the cushion from her pants. She angrily gritted her teeth and said, “I won’t let this matter go so easily.”

The First Lady picked up the cushion and placed it on the table. She pulled her daughter’s hand and sat down. She instructed, “You should rest for the next few days. Don’t let Mother worry. If Mother didn’t tell them yesterday, your butt would definitely have blossomed today.”

Lin Ruo Xi naturally knew what she meant. She snuggled into the First Lady’s embrace and said coquettishly, “I know Mother dotes on me the most, so we can’t just swallow this grudge. I won’t let Lin Ruo Yin get away with it.”

The First Lady knew her daughter’s personality, so she could only say, “Remember, you can’t do anything out of line. Otherwise, Mother won’t be able to protect you.”

Lin Ruo Xi nodded. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she made her own plans. She knew her daughter best. The words she said last night in the woodshed were just to protect herself. The First Lady knew her daughter very well.

“Ruo Xi, actually, Mother wants to… Why don’t we just forget about it?” The First Lady was afraid that if her daughter continued to be like this, something might happen to her sooner or later. If that happened, she might not be able to save her.

However, Lin Ruo Xi was determined to continue fighting with Lin Ruo Yin. She knew that her mother was worried about her, so she only hid her thoughts and nodded with a smile. “Mother, don’t worry. Your daughter knows what to do.”

She knew what to do.

Lin Ruo Yin did not go out because of the injuries on her face, but that did not mean that she did not know what was going on outside. Therefore, she had heard about Lin Ruo Xi being punished. However, she did not expect that Lin Fu Cheng would really punish Lin Ruo Xi this time, and in front of everyone.

“That’s great. That bad woman has finally been punished. Miss, do you know? I heard that the woman who was beaten up couldn’t even speak.” Lv Yu was so happy that she was gloating.

Lin Ruo Yin heard her saying that she was a bad woman. She felt that it was funny, so she deliberately said, “What bad woman? That’s the Eldest Miss of the Lin Family. She’s your mistress, so be careful not to be heard by others.”

“I’m not afraid. In my heart, only Miss is my mistress. Oh right, there’s also Grand Lady. Because Grand Lady is the only one who is truly good to Miss.” Lv Yu told her the truth.

Lin Ruo Yin wanted to say something else, but Hong Mei came in from the outside.

"What is it?" Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Lin Ruo Yin asked directly.

Hong Mei frowned and placed the medicine on the table before saying to Lin Ruo Yin, "Eldest Miss, I heard that Eldest Miss was severely injured this time. I'm afraid…"

"Are you afraid that she will come back to take revenge on me after she recovers?" Lin Ruo Yin smiled contemptuously.

However, Hong Mei shook her head and said with a heavy heart, "Eldest Miss, I always feel very uneasy, as if something is about to happen."

Lin Ruo Yin lowered her head slightly and pondered. Hong Mei's words reminded her that this Lin Ruo Xi was not a kind-hearted person. Thinking about all the things that happened in her previous life, she felt that Hong Mei's worry was reasonable.

If she could swallow this anger, she wouldn't be Lin Ruo Xi anymore. Lin Ruo Yin looked at Hong Mei gratefully and said, "It is all thanks to you for reminding me. I was able to turn the danger into an opportunity this time, which made me relax my vigilance. You are right, this matter is probably not over yet."

"Then what are you going to do, Eldest Miss?" Lv Yu asked. She liked it when the Eldest Miss gave her ideas, especially when it was good-looking.

This time, Lin Ruo Yin only said, "We'll deal with it when the time comes."

Hong Mei He Lv Yu looked at each other and knew that Miss had already thought of a way in her heart. It was just that the fewer people knew about this method, the better. Thus, she didn't ask anymore.
