Chapter 148: 148 Severe Punishment

“Shut up!” Old Master Fu saw that Fu Xiaoxiao still had not grasped the situation at hand clearly. His face grew gloomier.

Fu Xiaoxiao did not dare to raise her head after being reprimanded so much by Old Master Fu. She felt that she had not said anything wrong. She merely told everyone the truth. Why should she be punished?

Fu Xiaoxiao did not know how Shen Yan managed to entrap her second brother. He actually did not help her!

Old Master Fu’s gaze fell on Fu Hang’s face, and then at Fu Xiaoxiao.

He knew that Shen Yan would not let them off if Fu Xiaoxiao just walked out of the ancestral hall this easily.

Thinking of this, Old Master Fu said, “Then, how about twenty lashes as punishment?”

“Grandfather is wise,” Fu Hang agreed.

At this moment, Fu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

Twenty lashes?

How painful would that be!

Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Hang angrily. She would have just knelt for an hour if he did not speak.

She stood up in exasperation and looked at him fiercely. She exclaimed, “Second brother, I’m your sister! It’s fine even if you don’t help me plead for mercy, but you actually want Grandfather to punish me severely! Are you so eager for me to die?”

Hearing what Fu Xiaoxiao said, Old Master Fu glared at her sharply. “What do you know? Your second brother is doing this for your own good. Your reputation will be ruined if you leave the ancestral hall unharmed today.”

Although Old Master Fu wanted to take back the power of the Fu family from Fu Hang’s hands, he had to admit that Fu Hang was a very good successor to the family. He was able to lead the family to prosper day by day. However, the Fu family needed an obedient successor.

Fu Xiaoxiao froze upon hearing what Old Master Fu said. She turned to look at Fu Hang, and only then did she realize that his eyes were exceptionally cold when he looked at her. It was bone-piercing cold.

Fu Xiaoxiao knelt back reluctantly and cursed Shen Yan countless times in her heart.

She would definitely ruin Shen Yan’s reputation if she ever got a chance.

Old Master Fu walked to the wall at the side and took the whip off. He handed it to Butler Fu and said, “Twenty lashes. No mercy.”

Fu Xiaoxiao could not help but tremble, as her gaze fell on the whip. Back then, her father did not get out of bed for a month after being beaten by this whip.

“Grandfather, Xiaoxiao really needs to be disciplined. Big Brother is no longer around. I will teach her personally as her second brother!” Fu Hang said, and he reached out to take the whip over before Butler Fu could react.

Old Master Fu’s face darkened. He had secretly hinted for Butler Fu to go easy on her. If this whip fell into Fu Hang’s hands, Fu Xiaoxiao would get punished severely!

However, Old Master Fu reacted quickly. He steadied himself quickly and said disapprovingly, “A Hang, I know you care about Xiaoxiao. It’s just that she has made a mistake and can’t be let off lightly, so…”

“I know, Grandfather,” Fu Hang said solemnly, “Butler Fu is watching from the side. I’ll take the lashes in her stead if I show any mercy.”

Old Master Fu was suffocating to the point of having internal injuries from holding his emotions in. He could only look at Fu Hang in relief and nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, go ahead!”

Su Xiu rushed back from outside half an hour later. She saw Fu Xiaoxiao lying weakly on the bed, covered in blood.

“Xiaoxiao, wake up. What happened to you?” Su Xiu’s eyes reddened, and tears started to fall uncontrollably. Seeing that Fu Xiaoxiao was still unconscious, she turned to look at the servants at the side. “Who beat her?!”

“Madam… it was Second Young Master.”

“Where is he?” Su Xiu got so angry that her temples were throbbing.

“Second Young Master has gone out.” The servants lowered their heads and responded.

“Why isn’t the doctor here yet?” Su Xiu wanted to wait for Fu Hang to come back before settling accounts with him.

“Old Master said to not call the doctor. We have already disinfected and medicated Third Young Miss!”

Su Xiu’s headache grew even more severe, and she passed out directly..
