Hidden in the court

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingshang knew that today's incident was over, so he walked towards the front gate.

"what are you doing?"

"Ah, father-in-law, didn't you tell me to get out? I'll go through the main gate."

"Turn it back."

Lowe said coldly.

"Oh…"

Ji Mingshang glanced at the wall and quickly climbed up. Lying on the wall, Ji Mingshang said again: "It's my fault today, please don't embarrass Lin'er."

It would have been fine if he didn't say it. As soon as he said this, Lowe's anger rose again.

"roll!"

At this time, Luo Lin knelt in the main hall in an orderly manner, and Mrs. Luo stood aside. Seeing Luo Wei coming in, Luo Lin asked softly, "Dad, you didn't embarrass him, did you?"

Luo Wei felt his heart skip a beat, and when he recovered, he said unhappily, "I didn't make things difficult for him. I just beat him half to death and let him go."

When Luo Lin heard that Ji Mingshang was beaten half to death, she asked worriedly, "Is she okay?"

Luo Wei was so angry that he laughed. "He's fine, but you're in trouble. Someone, come and use the family rules."

Hearing that he was serious, Mrs. Luo wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Luo Wei.

"Don't worry about it. She will be punished today."

After a while, the servant brought a plate with three dishes on it.

A thick woven rattan with tiny spikes on it looked ferocious and terrifying. It could only be used to spank the buttocks. Hitting other places could easily kill a person. But even hitting the buttocks would cause the skin to tear and blood to fly everywhere.

Shaking his head, Lowe looked at the second one, which was made of bamboo branches, shaped like a small broom. It looked okay, but the bamboo branches hitting the back would probably not be much better than the thorns on the rattan.

Lowe picked up the "broom" and turned to look at Rowling who was kneeling on the ground. Looking at his daughter who was not even as tall as his legs, Lowe hesitated again.

With a final wave of his sleeves, he picked up the last ruler and walked in front of Rowling.

"Hands out!"

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Luo also felt relieved.

Rowling held out her hand, waiting to be punished.

Lowe looked at the hand she stretched out and became even angrier. How stupid must his daughter be?

"Stretch out your left hand!"

"Huh? Oh..."

Rowling cried out in surprise, then responded immediately and changed her hand when she realized what was happening.

Mrs. Luo had already walked out. On the surface, she couldn't bear to see her daughter being punished, but in fact, she could hardly hold back her laughter.

"Don't hide! What you did today is not in accordance with etiquette and is unfilial. I will spank you twenty times so that you will learn from it."

After saying that, Lowe raised the ruler in his hand and hit him.

"Bah—"

The hit was not loud, but Rowling's hand immediately turned red and a burning pain went through the palm of her hand.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Three more times, and Rowling's hands unconsciously clenched.

Lowe is really disappointed with his student, as it is obvious that he has never been beaten before and lacks experience.

Rowling's hands were not very fleshy, so it was naturally more painful than the average person's when she was hit. But if she held her hands together like this, she couldn't hit the palms, and if she hit the bones, she would probably break them.

"Hands out!"

Although he was worried, Lowe knew that he couldn't hold back, so he pretended to be stern.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

After being hit more than ten times, Rowling could no longer hold back and tears welled up in her eyes.

After being hit a few more times, Lowe looked at the little hand that couldn't stop trembling, and finally softened his heart.

"Five more, switch to the right hand!"

"Bang bang bang..."

After twenty strokes, Lowe put down the ruler.

"Come on, follow me to the ancestral hall."

Rowling stood up, with her hands hanging down, and followed Lowe silently.

After entering the ancestral hall, Luo Wei burned incense and bowed to the ancestral tablets.

"Your Majesty!"

Rowling knelt on the ground with a thud. Seeing this, Lowe was speechless again and silently kicked the cushion under his feet towards Rowling.

Rowling looked up at her father and knelt obediently on the mat.

"Ancestors, today my daughter Luo Lin has committed the sin of being unfilial, and now she has been punished. She is also punished to repent in front of the ancestors. I hope the ancestors will bless her."

After that, he said to Luo Lin: "I will punish you to repent here for one night."

Then he went out, leaving Rowling kneeling there.

"Take some pills to see her later." Lowe instructed his wife.

Mrs. Luo looked at him with a smile, "Do I need to tell you this?"

Facing the provocation from his wife, Luo Wei had a distressed look on his face. "Madam, do you think I have gone too far? Lin'er has never been beaten since she was a child, but today I hit her twenty feet."

"Okay, I know you can't bear to do that. Look at you." Mrs. Luo looked at this "daughter slave" and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"However, I support you in what you did today. You did the right thing. We have protected Lin'er so well since she was a child. As for what she did today, I can't bear to see it."

"I'm afraid that Lin'er will misunderstand me. You don't know, today even Ji Jun said that Lin'er has a deep misunderstanding of me. I'm afraid..."

Seeing the usually majestic Prime Minister Luo in this state, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't worry if you're afraid of this. Our daughter is a little bit stupid, but she's not so stupid as to not be able to tell whether you're good or bad. Besides, don't I have you here?"

"But, I am..."

"Okay, you have to go to court tomorrow morning, so just take a rest first. I'm here for you."

Lowe looked at his wife, not knowing what to say.

"Thank you, Madam..."

Mrs. Luo helped her husband to sleep. After a while, she heard his snoring and then she went to the ancestral hall with peace of mind.

The lights were still on in the ancestral hall, and Rowling was kneeling there obediently.

When he saw his mother coming, he didn't say anything.

Looking at the condition of her daughter's hands, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Lin'er, take this medicine."

Luo Lin still didn't move. Mrs. Luo said, "It's okay. Your father asked me to come. This is his intention."

At this moment, Rowling finally turned around and looked at her mother. When she saw her mother, she couldn't stop crying.

"Mom, I'm fine. It's my fault today. I should be punished."

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Luo couldn't bear it any longer. She held Luo Lin's hand carefully and said, "It's okay. The pain will go away after you take the medicine. Don't make your father angry like this in the future. Your father is afraid that you will suffer."

Luo Lin nodded obediently, "I know, I know that Dad is too worried about me. I have been like this since I was a child. I always make Dad angry. I should have been punished a long time ago. This is considered a light punishment now."

"It's okay. My daughter has been jumping up and down since she was young. She can still stay on her knees tonight. Don't worry."

Mrs. Luo nodded. "Are you still hungry? Your father prepared braised pork and fish for you. I'll go heat them up for you?"

Rowling looked down at her almost round belly and smiled awkwardly.

"No, I'm full. Besides, I'm being punished here, so I won't eat. You go and rest, I'll continue kneeling."

Mrs. Luo was also amused by herself. After settling Rowling down, she went back to the house.
