Chapter 15.1: Su Qingning Can’t Bounce Around for Much Longer

Seeing Su Qingyin being so relentless, Xiao Huaishuo became angry as well.

He turned his wheelchair to block Su Qingning, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, ready to teach her a lesson.

He never hit women, but he didn’t mind breaking that rule for Su Qingyin!

At that moment, a group of guards escorting the exiled prisoners walked over.

“Stop! Su Qingyin, what are you doing?! You’re causing trouble before we’ve even set off, as if the whip in my hand is just for show?!”

The leading officer, Li Yang, immediately saw Su Qingyin fiercely charging at Su Qingning and swung his whip at her.

“Ah—”

Li Yang’s subordinate showed no mercy; the whip struck Su Qingyin squarely on her ribs.

The barbed whip instantly tore through her flesh, causing blood to splatter, and Su Qingyin convulsed in pain.

Having been pampered since childhood, she had never endured such suffering and defiantly glared back at Li Yang.

“You… you… how dare you hit me?!”

Li Yang sneered dismissively and struck her a few more times with the whip.

“I think you’re the one who’s gone too far! Do you still think you’re a young lady from the mansion?!”

“Crack—crack—crack—”

“Ah—help—”

Su Qingyin fell to her knees, crying out in agony.

“Sir… Sir… I’m just a young girl who acted thoughtlessly and accidentally offended you. Please, have mercy and let her go.”

Seeing this, Concubine Shen rushed over to shield Su Qingyin, taking a few lashes herself. Enduring the intense pain, she slipped a silver coin to Li Yang.

Li Yang weighed the coin in his hand and snorted coldly.

“Consider this a warning! Keep an eye on this foolish girl! If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“Yes, yes, yes… Thank you, Sir.”

Su Qingyin looked at Shen with disbelief and reproached her:

“Auntie! What are you doing?! They’re the ones bullying me… ugh…”

Shen quickly covered Su Qingyin’s mouth and dragged her back.

After walking a good distance, she quietly comforted her:

“Su Qingyin, I’ve told you before. Times have changed; our family has been demoted to commoners. We can’t afford to offend these officials anymore.”

Hearing this made Su Qingyin even angrier, and she slapped Shen across the face.

“It’s all your fault! It’s all your and father’s incompetence that led to our family being exiled!”

“Now, not only can some lowly official bully me, but I also have to watch that wretched Su Qingning take my Brother Xiao!”

“Ugh…”

Concubine Shen felt a sharp sting on her face, several blisters bursting and oozing yellowish-red liquid.

Yet she held back her pain and instead wiped Su Qingyin’s tears with a pained expression.

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s all your parents’ fault. Don’t be upset, Su Qingyin; I’ll find a way to make it up to you.”

“As for that little wretch Su Qingning… she seems a bit different now, so don’t provoke her for the time being. I have my own ways to deal with her.”

“Su Qingyin, don’t worry. She won’t be able to bounce around for much longer.”

After hearing Shen’s assurance, Su Qingyin finally quieted down and stopped causing trouble.

Su Qingning quietly watched the two in the distance, easily guessing what they were plotting.

She even felt a bit eager for them to come and deliver someone’s head so she could stretch her limbs.

But besides that, she also noticed a dozen pairs of eyes lurking in the shadows, continuously monitoring the Xiao family.

These individuals were all highly skilled in martial arts and were likely the ones sent by the emperor to assassinate Xiao Huaishuo. They wouldn’t be as easy to deal with as Shen and her daughter.

Seeing Su Qingning appear a bit distracted, the Xiao family thought she was upset by the Su family women and began to comfort her one after another.

“Ningning, don’t be afraid. We will protect you from now on and won’t let that black-hearted mother and daughter bully you again!”

“Exactly! Sister-in-law, you’re now one of us in the Xiao family; no one will dare to bully you!”

“Don’t be afraid, sister-in-law! From now on, Ya’er will protect you. Ya’er knows martial arts, you know!”

Xiao Qingya was worried that Su Qingning wouldn’t believe she could fight, so she immediately started demonstrating a few moves with her chubby little fists.

Fourth brother Xiao Huaijin looked disdainful. “With your skills, it’s already good enough if you don’t cause trouble, let alone protect sister-in-law?!”
