The Reborn Legitimate Daughter is Frivolous - Chapter 8

“You dare!”

“Why don’t I dare?” Murong Qing sneered.

Looking at Murong Jie, seeing that there was tacit approval in his expression, it must have been Murong Yao’s words just now that really made him angry; otherwise, he would still have opened his mouth to defend a couple of sentences.

Today, Yueshang had just been given death and buried, and she couldn’t wait to come to Murong Jie to sue her, and she could say whatever she wanted without hesitation.

After Murong Yao’s trouble, presumably even if Murong Jie had the intention to let Shui Xinting sit in the position of the general’s wife in the future, it would never be possible after this time.

Shui Xinting must understand this truth, but I am afraid that she will hate Murong Yao to death in her heart at this time.

Presumably, Murong Yao’s life will not be too easy in the future. This is just right; she has done it herself.

It is said that poor people must have something to hate, and Murong Yao is a good example.

“Come on, please bring me the family law!”

Seeing that Murong Qing was actually coming, Murong Yao couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly asked Murong Jie for help: “Dad! Dad, say something quickly, Dad!”

Murong Jie glanced at Murong Yao, who was still unrepentant, and said in a deep voice: “Your eldest sister is right; the state has the law and the family has family rules. You have disappointed me so much today.”

After saying that, he closed his eyes again and stopped looking at Murong Yao, let alone letting Shui Xinting get up.

“Dad!!”

Murong Yao had no way to ask for help, and then she realized that no one was on her side now. Even Murong Jie had opened his mouth—where would anyone speak for her?

She was angry in her heart, but in order not to be punished by the family law, Murong Yao had to hold back her hatred and said, “Big sister, I was wrong, I was open-mouthed, I will change it in the future!”

“Do you still want to have a future?” Murong Qing snorted coldly.

The family law had already been brought by the servants, and it was impossible for her to let Murong Yao go at this time.

If she had known this, why would she have done it in the first place?

She was so strong just now, and now it was too late to show weakness!

Now Murong Yao simply said something wrong and quickly knelt down and said, “No, no, no, there is no future; Yao’er knows she is wrong!”

“If it were in private, it would be fine, but now that so many people are watching here, and the family law has been brought, I have no choice but to wrongfully accuse my third sister of being punished for this. Otherwise, in the future, let the people in the mansion say that I go back on my word and ruin the reputation of the general’s mansion in vain.”

She no longer gave Murong Yao a chance to speak and immediately ordered her servants: “Start enforcing the family law!”

The two grandmothers came up and held Murong Yao one by one, placed her on the bench that had been prepared, and laid her on her stomach. Then they fixed Murong Yao on one side to prevent her from moving.

During the entire process of being detained, Murong Yao was struggling and screaming, completely without the appearance of a young lady, extremely embarrassed.

Murong Qing saw it in her eyes, and it was not herself who was embarrassed anyway.

Since Murong Yao was so jealous of her identity as a legitimate daughter, it would make her more embarrassed in front of so many people, and it just happened to devalue her identity again.

Don’t try to get something that isn’t your own, and don’t be greedy when you should be content.

“I think you are also a serious third lady in the mansion anyway, so today I will give you a small punishment and a big warning—just beat her twenty boards.”

After all, it is a family law, much lighter than places like the government and the palace, and it will never kill people, nor will it beat the skin to the flesh, just let the people who made the mistake know the pain and remember the lesson this time.

So Murong Qing also dared to open her mouth, and Murong Jie did not object.

But Murong Yao was not happy. So many people watched her being beaten, not only humiliated, but how would she behave in the general’s mansion in the future?

“Murong Qing! You can’t do this to me! I am the third lady in the house!”

Murong Yao struggled and shouted, but she was pressed by the two grandmothers and couldn’t move. She couldn’t run even if she wanted to.

Seeing Murong Yao’s appearance of losing her mind, Murong Qing just said lightly, “It seems that the third sister just said it was false to know her mistake; otherwise, she would not have regretted it until now and would have committed it again and again.”

“You!”

Without waiting for Murong Yao to finish speaking, Murong Qing interrupted, “Add ten more boards, and you can execute it.”

Murong Qing’s behavior in the mansion today could be described as extremely majestic. Even Murong Jie was on her side. How could the servants dare disobey? They picked up the stick and started beating.

Murong Yao originally wanted to say something more, but the words that came to her lips suddenly turned into screams.

The board hit her buttocks one by one, which made her feel both ashamed and resentful.

If she could move at this time, she would want to kill Murong Qing to vent her anger.

But now she was the meat on the chopping board for others to slaughter.

Facing Murong Yao’s resentful eyes, Murong Qing just smiled mockingly.

She had been framed by Murong Xue, and the emperor, mediocre and partial, had actually beaten her with a board in front of a group of palace maids and servants.

Her hissing screams and begging for mercy did not arouse the pity of the pair of high-ranking men and women, who just looked at her coldly until she was taken away.

She was abandoned in the cold palace, and within a few days, the wound became inflamed, and her body weakened day by day, but no one took care of her.

The wound finally healed, but it left a permanent scar, and her whole body became thinner day by day, until she was finally beaten to death by Murong Xue.

“Okay, take the third lady back to Yaoyuan to rest, and then go to the warehouse to get some good trauma medicine. Don’t leave traces then,” Murong Qing ordered.

Grace and power are best.

In her previous life, she was the queen. Although she had a good temperament, it did not mean that she would not be able to take care of the affairs of the harem. But because she did not know people clearly at the beginning, she became a traitor.

Seeing that Murong Yao was supported and could still walk out by herself, she knew that it was not a big deal; she was just beaten to bruises, and it would be fine to recuperate in bed for a while.

Murong Yao, who was helped away, never said a word from beginning to end, and she didn’t know if she had learned well or what she was thinking.

But no matter what means Murong Yao had to use, she was not afraid. The soldiers would block, the water would cover; Murong Yao was not afraid.

Seeing Murong Yao leaving, Murong Xue said softly, “Big sister, the third sister has already been punished, so you should calm down.”

“It turns out that the second sister always thought that it was because I was angry that she would punish the third sister.”
