“Thank you, Professor Wen, for letting bygones be bygones.”Shen Qinghe thanked him in shame.
Professor Wen did not say anything else. He turned around and left with the attending physician.
When Shen Qinghe returned to the ward with a dark expression, Gu Xingyu was still looking at Gu Ziheng with an unruly expression. ” Even if there’s nothing wrong with the medicine, Lu Miao definitely has bad intentions by bringing it here.
I don’t know how she managed to bewitch Jinxi just after meeting her, but now she’s obviously trying to rope you in..”
Shen Qinghe was so angry that her eyes were red. Without saying anything, she went up and slapped her hard on the face.
She really used all her strength this time.
The loud slap was particularly ear-piercing in the quiet ward.
Gu Xingyu’s ears buzzed from the slap and she did not react for a long time.
Gu Ziheng was also shocked. Gu Xingyu was the only girl in the Gu family.
Their father had passed away early, and everyone doted on her. Even if she occasionally acted wilfully and made mistakes, Shen Qinghe would at most scold her a few times.
This was the first time he had seen Shen Qinghe so angry with Xingyu, taking action herself.
He hurriedly got up and reached out to pull Shen Qinghe. ” Mom, sit down and talk it out. Don’t be angry.
Shen Qinghe sneered. She not only can’t distinguish right from wrong, she doesn’t even consider her own family. She treats everyone she meets outside with disdain. Even Professor Wen, who has made significant contributions to the country and the people, is just talking nonsense in her eyes. What right do I have to be angry?”
“That slap just now was for your disrespect to Professor Wen! You couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, and didn’t even have the most basic manners and manners.”
Gu Xingyu covered her burning face and shouted stubbornly, “It’s because he came in after Lu Miao and helped her speak!”
When Gu Ziheng heard this, he immediately knew that he was going to be bad.
Seeing that Shen Qinghe was about to hit her again, she quickly pulled her back. ” Mom, Xingyu was just worried about me and spoke without thinking.”
“Let her beat me to death. Anyway, in her eyes, I will always be wrong. She has to wait until Lu Miao kills our entire family before she knows who is right and who is wrong.”
Gu Xingyu gritted her teeth and roared. Her eyes were filled with malice and hatred.
Shen Qinghe was so angry that she pushed Gu Ziheng away and slapped her face again.
“This slap is for being blind and disrespectful to others. Miao Miao has done so many things for the Gu family ever since she entered the Gu family, yet you only see Lu Siyu in your eyes.
How many times do I have to tell you to see clearly?
The Lu family was the one who wanted the dowry gift from the Gu family! It was not Lu Miao!
Back then, there were rumors in the circle that Shiyan was about to die wanted to find someone to extend his life. It was Lu Siyu who was afrai refused to come. However, the Lu couple could not bear to part with th betrothal gift, so they brought Lu Miao back from the countryside and her to come to the Gu family in Lu Siyu’s place.
Miaomiao was the one who brought joy to your second brother’s engag tutored Jinxi to help him study hard and walk the right path, and brew medicine for your third brother for a few hours to treat his throat.
What did Lu Siyu do?l think you’ve been blinded all this time.”
“Nonsense!” Gu Xingyu shouted.
Shen Qinghe was so angry that her vision darkened. “You immediately go back home and receive the family punishment at the ancestral hall—50 strikes with the disciplinary ruler. Think carefully about what I just said, reflect on the truth, and only come out when you’ve figured it out.”
When Gu Ziheng heard this, his expression immediately changed.
In a way, the Gu family was a very traditional family.
TThey had an ancestral hall, family laws and regulations, and disciplinary measures.
The Gu family’s family laws were severe!
Light punishment entailed 50 strikes with the disciplinary ruler, while severe punishment warranted 100 strikes with the disciplinary whip.
Regardless of which punishment was given, it would at least cost them half their life.
In ancient times, unless one committed a grave offense, there was no chance of facing family punishment.
Nowadays, it served more as a deterrent.
Ever since he was born, he had never seen the Gu family use the family law on anyone.
Xingyu was just a weak little girl after all. If these 50 strikes were to fall, she would probably lose her hand.
When Gu Xingyu heard the words ‘family punishment’, she was so frightened that her entire body could not help but tremble.
However, once she admitted her mistake and showed weakness, Lu Miao would definitely bully her in the future.
There was really no place for her in the Gu family anymore. She gritted her teeth and stubbornly turned around to walk out of the door.
She looked as if she would rather go back and get punished than admit her mistake.
Gu Ziheng had a headache. This girl was really….
How could he stay in the hospital alone and let Gu Xingyu and Shen Qinghe go back?
He didn’t even have time to change his clothes and hurriedly followed behind the two people to get into the car and go home.
On the other side.
After Lu Miao left the ward, Lu Siyu chased her all the way to the entrance of the hospital before finally catching up to her, panting heavily.
She stepped forward and blocked Lu Miao. ” Miaomiao, Miaomiao, let’s talk. ”
“I don’t think there’s anything to talk about with you.”
Lu Miao looked at her indifferently.
Lu Siyu bit her lower lip. ” I know that you have a lot of misunderstandings about me.”
“Not at all. I believe that my understanding of you is correct. “Lu Miao said directly.
Lu Siyu also did not expect that she would be so merciless and could not help choking.
After a long while, she gritted her teeth and continued her words.
“You must hate me to death in your heart. You must blame me for letting you get engaged to Mr Gu to extend his life. You must want to leave the Gu family immediately.
Back then, I objected to Mom and Dad sending you to the Gu family.
I know you won’t believe me now..”
Before she could finish, Lu Miao raised a finger and gestured for her to keep quiet.
“If you know I don’t believe you, then don’t say it.”
After saying that, she lifted her leg and was about to leave.
Lu Siyu hurriedly reached out to grab her and said aggrievedly, ” I just wanted to tell you that as long as you’re willing, I can think of a way to make you leave the Gu family.
I can also let you return to the Lu family and be a real heiress again.
If the Gu family is dissatisfied, I can go and give my life to Mr Gu.
I only hope that we can be good sisters again.”
It was as if they were sisters and were willing to give up everything for her.
Lu Miao looked at her with a half-smile. ” Are you regretting it now that Mr Gu isn’t dead?
Or is that couple already starting to despise you for being useless?”
Lu Siyu could not help but feel guilty, but her face looked even more aggrieved.”Miaomiao, what do I have to do to make you believe me? I really just want to help you.”
Lu Miao pointed at her face and smiled.
“With your shamelessness, you can apply to make bulletproof vests.”
She was indirectly scolding her for being thick-skinned. Lu Siyu gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to scold her.
Lu Miao’s lips curled up. ” Your acting skills are not bad, and your expression is also on point.
However, I’m very busy and don’t have the time to watch your performance.”
In the end, it was just that Gu Shiyan was fine now and was getting better and better. She regretted it.
Lu Siyu looked at her departing figure and bit her lower lip hard.
On the Gu family’s side, although Gu Ziheng went back with them, he was still forcefully blocked outside the ancestral hall by Shen Qinghe.
In the ancestral hall, the sound of the disciplinary ruler hitting the palm mixed with Gu Xingyu’s screams and cries could be heard.
“Give me your hand. Don’t move. If you retract it again, I’ll add ten strikes.”Shen Qinghe berated her sternly.
Gu Ziheng knocked on the door anxiously.”Mom, if this continues, Xingyu really won’t be able to take it.” Shen Qinghe did not stop moving..
