The Lucky Heiress-Chapter 333 - : If the Taoist Friend Dies, the Poor Taoist Does Not Die_l

Chapter 333: Chapter 333: If the Taoist Friend Dies, the Poor Taoist Does Not Die_l

Madam Yun knelt on the ground, tearfully pleading.

Since their marriage, this was the first time that Madam Yun had begged Wei Mingting like this.

Wei Mingting closed his eyes in grief.

While he was considering, the rattan rod in Nanny Zhang’s hand didn’t stop.

Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty…

When the strikes reached twenty, Wei Mingting finally spoke: “As you wish, give her a chance to change.”

Hearing this, Madam Yun rushed to stop it: “Stop, stop! Don’t hit her anymore!”

Nanny Zhang also timely ceased.

At this point, Wei Qingwan had taken exactly twenty lashes. Her back was bloody, and from the torn cloth, one could clearly see the streaks of blood on her originally fair skin.

Madam Yun rushed over and hugged Wei Qingwan, her Wanwan, who had never been injured so seriously since childhood.

Watching this scene, Wei Yichen rose emotionlessly: “Father, Mother, I will leave first to take a rest.”

Wei Mingting nodded.

Wei Yichen then left, not revealing any emotions from the beginning to the end.

“I will also take my leave.”

Wei Ruo asked to leave without planning to stay long. The drama had already reached its climax and nothing more interesting was going to happen.

Wei Mingting did not keep Wei Ruo either.

Not only their children but also Wei Mingting felt extremely tired. What had happened at home was more exhausting than fighting enemies on the battlefield.

Once Wei Ruo returned to Tingsong Garden, she instructed Xiumei: “Meimei, you will come out with me later to spread some rumors outside at a cost, letting everyone know about the scandal of the second Miss Wei secretly meeting a man before her marriage.”

“Miss, why do you suddenly want to spread the scandal of the second Miss?” Xiumei asked.

“Because Wei Qingwan and I are both Misses of the Wei family. After her reputation is ruined, my reputation as her sister will also be affected, influencing my future marriage prospects. Why should I spoil my own reputation when tarnishing hers can achieve the same result?” Wei Ruo said.

If one way can save oneself instead of the other, why not take the one that is advantageous? Wei Qingwan gave her this opportunity; not taking advantage of it would be wasteful!

Originally, she had made up her mind to taint her reputation in the relief efforts following the disaster, thereby blocking her romantic advances. Now it seemed unnecessary.

“That’s really good! Just do it!”

Xiumei was very happy. She had been worrying about her Miss damaging her reputation, which would make her the subject of gossip in everyone’s leisure time.

Wei Ruo did not know at this point that someone had already done exactly what she was planning to do, even one step earlier.

On his way back, Wei Yichen ran into Wei Yilin, who was rushing to Cangyun Garden, and he stopped him.

“Elder brother, I heard that Sister Wanwan was punished and beaten! Is it true?”

Wei Yilin had gone back to his room early in the morning and slept till now. Just when he got a little hungry and went to eat something, he heard about Wei Qingwan being beaten. Worried, he immediately rushed towards Cangyun Garden without finishing his food.

“It is true.” Wei Yichen answered, his face calm.

“Ah? Brother, don’t stop me, I want to go find Sister Wanwan! I can’t let anyone beat Sister Wanwan!” Wei Yilin said anxiously.

“You can’t go to her now.” Wei Yichen said.

“Elder brother?” Wei Yilin was confused.

“She did something wrong and deserves to be punished.”

“But… but… but that’s Sister Wanwan! I have to protect her!”

“Right now, she has made a mistake and is being disciplined by the family. Do you want to oppose the rest of us to protect her?” Wei Yichen asked.

“No… Sister Wanwan…”

“Yilin, you’re growing up, don’t let your emotions cloud your judgement, you need to be rational. If you can’t do that, not only will you fail to protect the family, you won’t be able to protect yourself either.” Wei Yichen advised Wei Yilin.

“Elder brother?” Wei Yilin looked at Wei Yichen, not understanding.

Wei Yichen patted Wei Yilin’s head: “Go back. Your parents will handle the matters of the house. You should focus on your martial arts and protect yourself and your family when you grow up.”

Wei Yilin hesitated for a moment. He was somewhat confused. Was Sister Wanwan really so terrible that her mistake would result in punishment supported by both their parents and elder brother?

But Sister Wanwan had always been the kindest and gentlest person in the house. Even if she made mistakes, they must’ve been accidental; according to reason, the consequences shouldn’t be so severe.

“Xiao Dong, escort the young master back to Chrysanthemum Garden. There are many matters at home; don’t let him run around. And remember, don’t go to Cangyun Garden or Wangmei Garden.” Wei Yichen instructed Wei Yilin’s personal servant.

Wei Yichen went back to his room to rest. freewebnoveℓ.com

Just by looking at his figure and pace, one could tell that he had not fully recovered.

Wei Yilin pondered for a long time and eventually grudgingly followed his servant back to his own residence.

Wei Qingwan was taken back to Wangmei Garden. This time, Madam Yun didn’t seek for Doctor Cheng whom she trusted but had to invite a female doctor from Government City because Wei Qingwan’s backside was injured and shouldn’t be seen by a man.

After the doctor had taken a look, she wrote a prescription.

Madam Yun asked, “Can my daughter’s back be healed?”

Streaks of scars on a woman’s back would make it impossible to have a good marriage.

The female doctor replied, “To answer Madam’s question, my medical skills are limited and I can’t perform such a feat. However, I have heard of a young doctor surnamed Xu who is a splendid healer, capable of treating wounds without leaving scars. If Madam is interested, you can try to find him.”

“Where can I find this Doctor Xu?” Madam Yun asked.

“It’s hard to say. Although Doctor Xu is an excellent physician, he is also elusive. It won’t be easy to find him.” The female doctor replied.

Madam Yun sighed and then ordered the people to send the female doctor away.

The remaining Madam Yun looked at Wei Qingwan, who was lying facedown on the bed. Her feelings were mixed.

To say that she felt no resentment would be impossible. Wanwan’s outrageous actions almost cost her son Yichen his life, so she certainly deserved punishment.

Experiencing this pain and suffering was just her due punishment.

But she could never bear to watch her die! The motherly love between them, nurtured over fourteen years, was not something she could easily forsake. How could she bear to watch her lose her life?

Madam Yun murmured at the still unconscious Wei Qingwan, “Now that you have suffered such pain, consider it recompense for your error. Mother hopes that you will learn a lesson and not repeat your mistakes. If I were to experience this again, I will no longer be able to tolerate you.”

Madam Yun took care of Wei Qingwan until the evening. When the night fell and she was about to return to Cangyun Garden, Cuiping rushed over anxiously.

“Madam, there’s trouble.”

“What now?” Madam Yun weakly asked..
