Old Master Chu looked up at Jiang Yingying, who had pushed Chu Tang in. He took a deep breath and frowned slightly. He stood up and said coldly, "Come with me."
Old Master Chu brought the group to a room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
When the butler opened the door, Jiang Yingying realized that this was actually a huge ancestral hall. There were many memorial tablets inside, all of which were ancestors of the Chu family.
"Jiang Yingying, come and kneel down!" The old man pointed at a praying mat beside him and said coldly.
Although Jiang Yingying didn't know what he meant, out of respect for an elder, she still knelt down obediently.
However, the moment she knelt down, Jiang Yingying could clearly see Yu Sha smiling proudly.
While Jiang Yingying was puzzled, the butler took out a whip and whipped Jiang Yingying's back.
The pain of her flesh being torn apart almost made Jiang Yingying unable to kneel down. At that moment, her mind went blank. It was too painful.
Jiang Yingying bit her lip and said stubbornly, "Grandpa, what did I do wrong to deserve such punishment?"
"You actually have the cheek to ask?" Yu Sha's voice was sharp and ear-piercing. "You seduced Chu Lin, and he ignored you, but you injured him with a knife! You've just married Chu Tang, but you're already seducing his brother. You b*tch, you still have the cheek to ask why?"
Jiang Yingying endured the pain and laughed. "Where's the evidence that I seduced Chu Lin?"
Yu Sha snorted. "Everyone present at that time can testify for Chu Lin!" As she spoke, she glared at the butler who was holding the whip. "What are you waiting for? Continue whipping her! Let her learn her lesson. Our family aren't people any woman can bully!"
When the butler heard this, he whipped Jiang Yingying's back again.
After two whips, the white T-shirt on Jiang Yingying's body was torn, revealing her exposed flesh and blood. Clearly, the butler had used some strength.
Jiang Yingying, who was kneeling on the ground, said with trembling hands, "I didn't seduce Chu Lin or hurt him on purpose."
Yu Sha turned to look at the butler, who was holding the whip. "Didn't you hear? She doesn't admit her mistake, so continue!"
"Wait a minute."
Just as the butler was about to whip her a third time, Chu Tang, who had been silent the entire time, said calmly, "Grandpa didn't even say anything, but you attacked her. Are you Grandpa's butler or someone else's?"
The butler was silent for a moment before retracting the whip. "I'm Master's butler!"
Yu Sha's expression was unfriendly. "Executing the family punishment for people who don't abide by the rules is the Chu family's way of doing things! It's not suitable for people without parents or upbringing to discuss the rules, right?"
"You hit my wife. Why should I follow the rules?" Chu Tang's voice was still indifferent, as if nothing could affect him.
Jiang Yingying could tell that Chu Tang had no status or dignity in this family…
"As a husband, what right do you have to speak when you can't control your woman?" Yu Sha snorted and turned to look at Old Master Chu. "Dad, although Jiang Yingying is a slut, she's still our family's daughter-in-law. As long as she admits her mistake, we won't punish her anymore, right?" On the surface, she was pleading for Jiang Yingying, but she had calculated that with Jiang Yingying's stubborn personality, she wouldn't admit her mistake.
Only then did Old Master Chu look at Jiang Yingying. "Do you admit your mistake?"
Jiang Yingying straightened her back. "I didn't do anything wrong. What mistake should I admit?"
Old Master Chu waved his hand in frustration.
"Pa!"
The butler whipped her again.
"What about now?"
"I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Pa!"
"Do you admit your mistake?"
"There's no mistake to admit to!"
"Pa!"
The butler used 120% of his strength. Those who didn't know better would think that he was beating up some evil person.
At this moment, Jiang Yingying was in so much pain that she couldn't straighten her back, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it. However, she didn't expect that the whip didn't hit her again even after a long time.
"Chu Tang!"
Old Master Chu's shocked voice came from behind.
Jiang Yingying subconsciously turned around and realized that Chu Tang had actually pounced behind her and blocked the whip for her. His pure white shirt was stained with blood, and his already pale face was even paler.
"Are you blind? Why would you hit him?! He's not in good health. You'll kill him!" Jiang Yingying hugged Chu Tang with trembling hands and shouted at the butler.
The butler didn't expect Chu Tang to rush over to block the whip for Jiang Yingying, nor did he expect Jiang Yingying to be angry with him for Chu Tang's sake. When the whip hit her just now, she was already trembling from the slap. She would rather grit her teeth and endure it than cry out in pain. When Chu Tang had been whipped, she actually shouted at him.
