Ye Chuyi looked up at the second floor of the villa, where the master bedroom was. The light in the master bedroom was off at the moment, but she couldn't be sure whether Lady Wen was asleep.
She hoped she was.
That way, she couldn't witness her hitting someone.
They hadn't recognized each other yet, and she didn't want to give her mother the impression of being violent and cruel.
She instructed her bodyguards, "Cover her mouth, drag her out, and beat her first."
The two bodyguards responded and stepped forward to cover Lin Yueqin's mouth, dragging her out of the villa.
The storm, with its fierce winds and thunderous lightning, masked the sound of beating, and only Lin Yueqin's pained muffled groans could be heard sporadically.
After a while, she was dragged back in.
She was soaked through, with her cheeks swollen high and blood streaming from the corner of her mouth.
