"Shut up!" Sir Hughes saw that Isa still couldn't understand the situation, his face became darker, and he angrily said.
Isa was scolded and hung her head low, not daring to look up. She felt she hadn't said anything wrong; she just told everyone the truth, so why should she be punished?
Her elder brother Jared seemed bewitched by Betsy Russell, no longer supporting her.
Sir Hughes' gaze fell on Jared's face, then turned to Isa.
If Isa left the ancestral hall so easily, Betsy Russell probably wouldn't let it go so easily.
Thinking about this, Sir Hughes said, "Well then, let's give her twenty lashes as a punishment."
"Grandpa, you are wise." Jared agreed.
At this time, Isa was completely dumbfounded.
Twenty lashes?
How painful that must be!
Isa glared at Jared angrily. If Jared hadn't spoken, she would have been fine with just an hour of kneeling.
