I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Qinnan looked at Su Wulang, and then at her twin brother Su Qilang.

Su Balang said: "Brother asked you to answer truthfully, didn't you hear it?"

Su Qilang said: "Brother, if she doesn't say anything, then interrogate Xiaolan and Xiaohong."

Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong, two personal maids, knelt in a row outside the pavilion. Looking at the ferocious servants and bookboys on both sides, their hearts tightened. If they were tortured, they would tell the truth.

Su Wulang raised his hand, and the servant swung the whip and whipped Xiao Lan. With a whoosh, Xiao Lan let out a scream.

Xiao Hong said tremblingly: "This servant said that Miss Mao gave Miss Seven a red jade hairpin, and Miss Mao said..."

"Xiaohong!"

Xiao Hong sobbed, "Miss, I'm sorry! If I don't tell you, you will be punished. You can punish me for one month's salary."

The monthly allowance of an eldest girl was one tael and two hundred wen, but if she was whipped, she would have to lie in bed for several days. It was too scary. After Xiao Lan was whipped, a blood mark appeared on her arm. This time, the Fifth Young Master and the Seventh Young Master were really angry.

Xiao Lan thought what Xiao Hong said made sense, and rushed to say, "Miss Mao asked Miss Seven to bring the princess to Mingzhu Pavilion to watch the fun."

Su Qilang asked: "Why must the princess go?"

Su Qiniang was panicking, "Yes...she said that my cousin was too bored in the mansion, so she asked me to take her out to relax."

"Seventh sister, you are so silly! It's just a simple way to relax. Just a caring word or a letter will do. Why do you have to drag your cousin along?"

How would I know?

I'm not a worm in Mao Yuanniang's stomach.

The servant wielding the whip received a look from Su Wulang, and swung the whip, hitting the ground with a bang. Xiaohong blurted out, "Miss Mao wants to promote the marriage between the princess and Mr. Mao."

The speech was fast, but very clear.

Su Qiniang gnashed her teeth and said, "Xiaohong——"

It's over. Now that she has spoken out, she will really be considered a traitor who sells out her own relatives for outsiders.

If my cousin knew about this, she would definitely not love her anymore.

Su Wulang's heart sank.

How could Su Qinnan not know what Xiaohong knew?

In the eyes of my sister, are my blood relatives worse than outsiders? Just for a red jade hairpin, she is helping outsiders to plot against her own relatives.

Su Qilang was two years younger after all, and at this moment he pointed at Su Qiniang and angrily shouted, "Are you stupid or foolish? Just because of a broken red jade hairpin, the Su family has been deprived of your jewelry, clothes, or food, and you want to join forces with outsiders to plot against your own family?"

Su Balang pouted, thinking that such a heartless sister must not be from his family.

He doesn't even look down on it.

He is only nine years old, but he can tell the difference between insiders and outsiders.

My cousin is both talented and beautiful, kind-hearted, generous, and helps the family run the store. In just a few months, the family business of their third branch has increased several times, and they also have the famous Yunyifang and Yunrongfang in Hunan Province. My mother said that these two shops will be left to them brothers in the future.

Life was very difficult at home in the past, and my grandfather was an honest official who would never touch money.

But life is much better now. There is a large income every month, and even their monthly salary has increased. Su Wulang gets the highest salary, ten taels of silver per month, and he and Su Qilang each get seven taels of silver per month.

Su Wulang raised his hand and said, "Come here, lock up Xiaolan and Xiaohong in the woodshed. Give them only one bowl of water and two steamed buns a day. Let them drink for half a month. If you see Seventh Girl doing something dishonest next time, beat them up and sell them off."

Su Qinnan called out "Fifth Brother" anxiously. Could he be serious?

Xiaolan and Xiaohong looked desperate.

The Seventh Girl used to covet the jewelry of the Mao family. She had previously stolen the calligraphy of the Governor and given it to the Mao family. She was secretly proud of herself, thinking that the calligraphy could be exchanged for jewelry.

Su Wulang said, "You think you can do whatever you want just because you're my sister. Stretch out your hand!"

Su Qinnan stretched out her hand tremblingly, Su Wulang took the willow branch from Su Balang and raised his hand to hit the palm board.

Suddenly, it hurts so much.

Su Qinnan screamed.

In the distance, Su Shao and Cui Shi watched silently.

Cui pulled the handkerchief.

Su Shao said: "I can't teach my daughter, and you are soft-hearted. This time, you can team up with outsiders and betray your family for a hairpin. If I don't teach you, you will definitely act as arrogantly as my second sister did back then..."

Su Qi had colluded with outsiders to set a trap for Su Wan, causing Su Wan to suffer for her entire life.

If Su Wan had not been forced to marry Zhen Yuan, how could she have been in such a dilemma, dying in her prime before the age of 25, leaving behind a young daughter to live a miserable life.

Cui felt guilty: "Husband, it's my fault for not teaching Qiao'er well."

Su Shao said: "We can't bear to do it, so let Wu Lang take on the responsibility of the eldest brother."

Su Wulang waved his hand and stopped, "Do you know you are wrong?"

"Wuwu, Fifth Brother, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong." Su Qiniang retracted her hands. Su Wulang said solemnly, "Stretch them out, or I'll hit you harder."

Su Balang ran over and grabbed Su Qinniang's hand, "Stretch it out, if you do something wrong, you must be punished!"

"Fifth brother, my hand hurts, my hand hurts..."

She was just grabbed by Su Balang, but she pulled her hand back.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Qinnan had never been beaten, and that beating left a red mark.

Su Wulang saw her put her hands behind her back. There was a portrait of the late Xiao Xie on the wall. Su Qiniang was kneeling in front of her grandmother's portrait. Su Wulang said, "Stretch out your hands!"

"Fifth brother..." Su Qinnan cried.

Su Wulang was very angry. He waved the willow branch and hit her hands behind her back. "You know you are wrong, but where is your fault? Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

In his mind, all he could think of were the despair his father and grandfather felt when they mentioned how his second aunt was betrayed and plotted against by his eldest uncle, second uncle, and eldest aunt. His second aunt was still young, but she died of depression because of the plotting against her closest relatives.

Having had relatives like that before, their grandfather and father had always been worried that they and their siblings would become like that, so they asked them to stay away from the people and things in the capital, but now Su Qinniang is also like that.

Their Su family has already let down their second aunt, so how could they let down Zhen Su again?

He hit, and hit hard.

It was not only to teach his younger sister, but also to let his two younger brothers understand what they can do and what they must not do.

one more time.

Su Qinnan cried even louder.

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Su Qillang had never seen Su Wulang like this before. He was really annoyed. From childhood to adulthood, his seventh sister had never been beaten or even scolded.

Cui covered her mouth and cried silently.

She felt sorry for her daughter, but she felt even more sorry for her son.

It was her responsibility as a mother to teach Su Qinniang, but this responsibility fell on her eldest son.

Su Wulang hit her more than ten times. Thinking back to the past and the hidden pain in the hearts of several generations of the Su family, he had to be ruthless and make his sister feel pain. Only when she is truly hurt and regretful, will she not make the same mistake again.

Su Balang couldn't bear to watch this, as Su Wulang had beaten him pretty hard just now.

Su Wulang asked: "Where did you go wrong?"

Su Balang said, "Seventh sister, don't just cry. If you don't reply, big brother will beat you even harder."

"I want to see my father, I want to see my mother——"

Cui was crying.
