Su Jiu and his two siblings were raised by Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei. One could say that they watched them grow up. Seeing the injustice they were facing, how could he not be angry?
“Get ready, we’re heading to the capital immediately.” Yang Zhenwei understood Su Yu’s intention. Even if they were angry as children, there wasn’t much they could do. At most, they could cut off ties. Writing this letter meant that they wanted him to stand by their side. The grandchildren had finally sought his help, and he couldn’t let them down.
Are they trying to harm their grandchildren? Then let them experience the feeling of being whipped with a lash soaked in chili water.
“Yes.”
The news from Yang Zhenwei’s side quickly reached his son, Yang Qianyue. When he arrived at Yang Zhenwei’s courtyard, his father was already preparing to leave. “Dad, where are you going?”
“I’m going to find that beast Yang Shanshan.” Yang Zhenwei said with a stern face.
Yang Qianyue looked at Yang Zhenwei in surprise. What had his sister done to make their father so angry?
“Dad, don’t be in a hurry. What happened? Tell me first.”
“Here is Xiao Yu’s letter. Take a look for yourself.” If he had to explain, he might just get too angry.
Taking the letter from Yang Zhenwei, Yang Qianyue’s expression darkened after reading it. “What did Su Jiu and his siblings do to offend her so much? Treating the three children like this is simply insane.”
What kind of thoughts did Yang Shanshan have to use a whip soaked in chili water on Xiao Yu when he was seriously injured?
It was unbelievable to think that Yang Shanshan could do such a thing.
“And on Su Jiu’s side, it’s also related to Yang Shanshan. What is this person thinking?”
“I’m going to the capital. After that, I’ll go directly to Xiao Yu and won’t be coming back for now.” Yang Zhenwei looked at his son and said.
“Okay.”
For years, Yang Shanshan had been returning every year. When they asked about the three children, she always dodged the question, claiming the kids were busy. Now it seemed they weren’t busy; they just didn’t want to see her. She probably didn’t dare to let the children come over, fearing they would report to their father.
Was she afraid the kids would complain to their father?
Yang Zhenwei left, taking the fruits sent by Xiao Bao with him.
Half a month later, Yang Zhenwei, accompanied by his people, arrived in the capital and went directly to the Su family.
Su Long was a bit surprised when he heard the news of Yang Zhenwei’s arrival but still went out to greet him. “Uncle Yang, you’ve come. My father is not at home; he went to Xiao Yu’s place.”
“I’m not here to find your father. Where are Su Qin and Yang Shanshan?” Yang Zhenwei asked, looking at Su Long.
Su Long immediately understood the reason behind Yang Zhenwei’s visit. It seemed that Xiao Yu had complained to Uncle Yang, and Su Qin and Yang Shanshan were in trouble now.
“They are in their yard.”
“Lead the way.” Yang Zhenwei said with a stern face.
Su Long led the way to Su Qin and Yang Shanshan’s yard. When they arrived, the couple was still discussing the matter of Xie Yang.
When Yang Zhenwei heard Yang Shanshan’s words about making Su Yu marry Xie Yang even if it involved scheming, he was thoroughly enraged.
“Yang Shanshan, you’re really doing well as a mother.” Yang Zhenwei gritted his teeth.
The familiar voice made Yang Shanshan subconsciously turn her head. When she saw Yang Zhenwei standing angrily at the door, she was startled.
“Dad… Why… why are you here?”
Yang Zhenwei sneered, “Why am I here? Should I wait for you to kill the three children before coming? What are you talking about? How could you harm the three children? Did someone poison your ears with lies?”
Fear crept into Yang Shanshan’s heart, but she tried to maintain composure on her face. “Dad, what are you talking about? How could I harm the three children? Did someone poison your mind against me?”
Looking at Yang Shanshan in this state, Yang Zhenwei felt disappointed for the first time. “Poison my mind? Yang Shanshan, did you not harm the person Xiao Jiu likes, or did you not almost beat Xiao Yu to death when scheming against others? Or did you not harm Xuanxuan’s child, or did you not poison the lifesaver of Xiao Yu?”
Yang Zhenwei’s words left Yang Shanshan completely stunned. He knew everything.
“Dad, I…”
“Go prepare chili water and a whip,” Yang Zhenwei, unwilling to listen to Yang Shanshan’s excuses, instructed the steward beside him.
Su Long raised an eyebrow, watching Yang Zhenwei and wondering if he planned to use the same methods against them.
Glancing at Yang Shanshan, Su Long thought back to the time when Xiao Yu endured severe injuries and still held on. Yang Shanshan, a seemingly decent person, shouldn’t be unable to endure, right?
“What are you planning, Dad? I’m your daughter.” Yang Shanshan was thoroughly frightened; she knew what Yang Zhenwei intended.
“My daughter? Isn’t Xiao Yu your son? When Xiao Yu was severely injured, you nearly beat him to death. Now, I’m just going to give you a whipping, and you’re scared?” Yang Zhenwei said without hesitation.
“Dad, I know I was wrong. I apologized to Xiao Yu already,” Yang Shanshan hastily said.
“If Xiao Yu were willing to accept your apology, he wouldn’t have written to me. Don’t bother uttering these ‘knowing you were wrong’ words; they sound nauseating,” Yang Zhenwei said coldly, eyeing Yang Shanshan with disgust.
“Dad…”
“Yang Shanshan, if you truly knew you were wrong, you wouldn’t ignore Xiao Yu’s wishes and scheme to force him to marry someone he doesn’t like. Is that what you call realizing your mistake? I see you haven’t repented at all. No wonder these past few years, the three children prefer to visit me individually rather than go with you.” Yang Zhenwei spoke angrily.
Yang Shanshan was left speechless.
In the meantime, the chili water and whip were ready. Watching Yang Zhenwei expressionlessly dip the whip into the chili water, Yang Shanshan instinctively stepped backward.
Su Qin quickly stood in front of Yang Shanshan, pleading, “Dad, Shanshan really realizes her mistake, you…”
“I’m disciplining my own daughter. It’s none of your business. Yang Fang, pull Su Qin away. The Su family is none of my concern,” Yang Zhenwei coldly ordered.
Steward Yang Fang reached out and pulled Su Qin away. Seeing Su Qin struggling to leave, Yang Fang directly pressed on his acupoint, rendering him unable to move.
Holding the whip, Yang Zhenwei ruthlessly lashed it onto Yang Shanshan.
The whip, soaked in chili water, intensified the pain, making Yang Shanshan scream in agony.
Expressionless, Yang Zhenwei delivered fifty lashes to Yang Shanshan. When he stopped, Yang Shanshan lay on the ground, covered in whip marks, unable to utter a word due to her hoarse voice.
“Does it hurt, Yang Shanshan?”
“When you beat Xiao Yu, he felt more pain because he was already severely injured. And you, Su Qin, you don’t deserve to be a father. Neither of you deserves to be involved in the affairs of the three children. I warn you, if Xiao Yu and the others tell me you’re forcing them to do anything, like marrying someone they don’t like, don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Su Long looked down at the barely conscious Yang Shanshan. It was evident that Yang Zhenwei had been merciless this time. It was the first time he had seen Yang Shanshan in such a miserable state, but she brought it upon herself.
“Yang Fang, let’s go.” Without a second glance at Yang Shanshan, Su Long turned and left.
