Regarding the unconscious Jia Zhen, Jia Lian ordered a few servants to carry her away.
The servants were all surprised to see Jia Zhen, who had passed out with blood on the corner of her mouth, being carried back.
…
"What's going on?"
After sending Jia Zhen off, Jia Lian returned to his courtyard with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw a group of servants and maids standing in the courtyard. There was an empty space in the middle where an old woman, a servant, and a servant girl were kneeling and being reprimanded by Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, and Jia Yingchun who were sitting on the steps.
"This dog slave took the lead in gambling and drinking at night. After losing money, he even stole the second girl's (Yingchun's) gold jewelry and sold it. This second girl didn't say anything. If it wasn't for the guards (Jinyiwei) investigating and reporting it, we would probably still be in the dark about this matter.”
Hearing Jia Lian's question, Wang Xifeng's pretty face stared at the servant who was kneeling on the ground stealing Jia Yingchun's things and explained to Jia Lian.
The person who stole Jia Yingchun's things was Jia Yingchun's wet nurse.
"What about these two? Did they also steal Master's things?”
Jia Lian's expression, which had just eased up, turned cold again.
She pointed at the servants kneeling on both sides of Jia Yingchun and asked Wang Xifeng.
Jia Yingchun was his half-sister. Because she was a concubine's daughter who was not favored, Jia She did not care about her mother's early death. She had been bullied by the servants who served her since she was young…
Now, his character had become honest, incompetent, cowardly, and afraid of trouble. He was also blindly conceding and allowing others to bully him. It was precisely because of this character that Jia Yingchun spoke very little, and was even nicknamed by the master and servants in the residence as a blockhead.
In the past, Jia Yingchun and Jia She, as her father, did not care, so naturally, Lady Xing, who could barely protect herself, did not care about Jia Yingchun.
As for Grandmother Jia's second wife, there was no need to talk about it, because Jia Lian, this biological brother, didn't even pay attention to her.
However, things were different now. Jia Lian naturally had to take care of his sister. He couldn't let her be bullied by others.
"These two servants are the son and daughter-in-law of this dog servant. After the servant who stole the master's things was exposed, these two servants even threatened the second girl to tell the truth.”
"Second Master, tell me how to deal with this matter. If it weren't for the guards discovering it, I don't know how much the Second Girl would have been bullied by them.”
Wang Xifeng's chest heaved up and down as she explained to Jia Lian. It was obvious that Wang Xifeng was very angry about this matter.
"Ding! The system activated…
Jia Yingchun has been bullied by a slave. Please make the following choice…
Option 1: Sell the evil slave who bullied Jia Yingchun.
[Mission Reward: Proficient in Go]
Option 2: Use this matter to train Jia Yingchun's courage and force him to punish the evil slave.
[Mission Reward: Personal Space (Living things cannot be stored without space restrictions)]”
"Humph, how dare a dog slave humiliate his master like this. When I was dealing with the servants in the residence, those slaves who were sold didn't wake you up and scare you, right?”
"Come, bring me two whips.”
With a cold face, Jia Lian silently chose option two in his heart.
Then, she scolded Jia Yingchun's wet nurse all the way and ordered someone to bring the whip over.
"Second Master, please spare my life. This old servant was also muddle-headed and committed a mistake. I hope that Second Master will forgive this old servant this time on account of this old servant's hard work in serving Second Young Lady all these years. This old servant will not dare to do it again.”
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Jia Yingchun's wet nurse was afraid.
He kept kowtowing to Jia Lian, apologizing and begging for mercy.
"That's right, Second Master. We won't dare to do it again.”
"Second Master, we promise to serve Second Young Lady well in the future and not dare to have any evil thoughts again.”
As Jia Yingchun begged for mercy, his son, Wang Zhu 'er, and his daughter-in-law also kowtowed to Jia Lian and apologized.
He hoped that Jia Lian would forgive them this time.
And while they were begging for mercy, there were already servants following Jia Lian's instructions to retrieve the whips.
"Hmph, now you know fear. When you bullied Master, I didn't see any of you being afraid.
Let me tell you, since I already know about this, there's no way I can understand.”
Jia Lian looked at Nanny Jia Yingchun, Wang Zhu 'er, and Wang Zhu' er's daughter-in-law, who were kneeling and begging for mercy, without any pity in his heart.
He snorted coldly and said that this matter was not over.
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Jia Yingchun's wet nurse and Wang Zhu's daughter-in-law, Wang Zhu 'er, turned pale…a sense of despair surged into their hearts.
"Master, the whip is here…"
Soon, a servant came to Jia Lian with two whips in his hands and said respectfully to Jia Lian.
"Second girl, come here."
Jia Lian looked at the sturdy whip in the servant's hand and grabbed it in his hand. Then, he shouted at Jia Yingchun, who was sitting beside Wang Xifeng.
Hearing Jia Lian call her, Jia Yingchun, who was already restless, suddenly didn't know how to try.
Although she was timid and cowardly, she could tell what Jia Lian wanted to do.
"What are you thinking about, Second Girl? Hurry up and go over. Second Master is helping you vent your anger.”
"With Second Master and me, your second sister-in-law, you don't have to be afraid of anything. In the future, if any servant dares to bully you, he will suffer.”
Seeing that Jia Yingchun didn't move, Wang Xifeng urged her.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was urging him, Jia Yingchun sighed in her heart. She knew that she couldn't hide anymore.
After replying, he got up and walked towards Jia Lian.
"Take it…let's see how Second Brother will help you vent your anger today.”
When Jia Yingchun came to the front, Jia Lian directly stuffed a whip into Jia Yingchun's hands. Without waiting for Jia Yingchun to refuse, he said something to Jia Yingchun and walked towards Jia Yingchun's wet nurse...
"Pa…"
"Ah ~"
"It hurts so much. It's killing me! Second Master, please spare my life!
This old servant was wrong, this old servant really knows his mistake!”
When Jia Lian arrived in front of Nanny Jia Yingchun, he raised the whip in his hand without saying a word and fiercely whipped Nanny Jia Yingchun's face, drawing a line of blood from Nanny Jia Yuanchun's face.
Then, Jia Yingchun's nanny covered her face and fell to the ground, rolling around and wailing.
This pain was so deep that even the strongest person would scream in pain.
Wang Zhu's daughter-in-law and Wang Zhu 'er's faces turned even paler when they saw their mother being beaten.
Their entire bodies were trembling with fear, afraid that Jia Lian would whip them a second time…
"Pa…Pa"
Just as Wang Zhu 'er and his daughter-in-law were scared out of their wits, what they were worried about finally happened…
After Jia Lian finished beating Jia Yingchun, he listened to Jia Yingchun's cries and without any pause, he whipped Wang Zhu 'er and his daughter-in-law again.
"Ah, it hurts!"
"It's killing me. It hurts too much. Second Master, we were really wrong. Please forgive us. We were really wrong.”
