Wang Baozhu naturally couldn't shut the maid's mouth.
She defied the court and ignored warnings, and was first punished by Lord Xu with twenty heavy strikes. After that punishment, she behaved herself.
If she continued to act arrogantly, Lord Xu could continue to beat her.
Wang Baozhu realized again that she was no longer the favored daughter of the Fu Family, casually subjected to beatings. She had lived for sixteen years and had never undergone such a brutal beating.
Even when she was pelted with rotten eggs and spoiled vegetable leaves the day before, it wasn't as painful as these heavy blows striking her body.
As she grimaced in pain, she saw Yu Sha, a maid she used to beat and scold at will, showing a look of satisfaction, which made her hate her even more.
