Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

He Lanting straightened his back, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands. Those were a pair of pampered, slender and white hands, as if they were the masterpiece of a jade carving master. But when Xie looked at these hands, she raised the ruler high without hesitation.

Snapped!

"The first foot is for you to think highly of yourself and look down upon others."

Snapped!

The second foot is for you to close your eyes and ears and not distinguish clearly. "

Snapped!

"The third foot is for being heartless and hurtful with your words."

……

The bamboo ruler soaked in tung oil was heavy and tough. Every time it hit the palm of the hand, it felt like a piece of hot iron sheet embedding into the flesh. For ten consecutive hits, Xie did not hold back at all, and Helan Ting did not dodge at all, even though the pair of fair and slender hands had become purple and swollen, with skin and flesh torn.

"This is the first time that mother has hit you, and it will be the last time. You are the only legitimate eldest son of the mansion. In the future, this huge mansion will be handed over to you. Mother does not want to see things like today again. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. Come out when Xixi wakes up." Xie put down the ruler and waved her hand tiredly.

He Lanting paused for a moment, endured the severe pain in his palm, bowed down and bowed solemnly, "Mother's teachings, I will never forget them."

It was late at night. In Xunchun Courtyard, Xueyun waved away the people kneeling in the hall and left only two maids on duty outside the door. "Go down and have some rest. The young lady is seriously ill now. You must get enough rest to serve her well." After saying this, she turned around and went into the house, ignoring the frightened or worried looks on everyone's faces, and did not forget to close the door.

"Girl, you're feeling better now."

Lin Xi, who had been barely breathing just now, had gotten up from the bed and was sitting at the table, happily eating a piece of delicious and crispy snack. She looked energetic and there was no trace of her previous frail appearance.

"I'm fine, don't worry. You've been busy for most of the night. You should sit down and eat something to fill your stomach." Seeing that Xueyun still had a worried look on her face, Lin Xi quickly smiled and asked her to sit down.

Xueyun observed her girl carefully and found that her face and features were clear and that she was indeed fine. She finally felt relieved and sat down next to Lin Xi with a sigh.

"You really scared me, girl. I will never do anything harmful to my health again."

After He Lanting left during the day, Lin Xi saw that Xueyun was really angry at He Lanting's rudeness, and she also wanted to teach him a lesson, so she discussed with Xueyun about pretending to be sick.

Although she knew it was all fake, Xueyun couldn't help but tear up when she saw Lin Xi's dying appearance.

Especially when he heard Lin Xi's mournful words, "Dad and Mom, take the child away!", he wanted to rush over and hug his own girl and cry. If his master and his mistress were still alive, his girl would not have to make such elaborate plans to vent her anger after suffering such injustice.

Seeing Xueyun's eyes redden again under the dim candlelight, Lin Xi reluctantly put down the cake in her hand, held Xueyun's hand and comforted her gently, "Sister, don't be sad, I was just pretending. Look at me now, I'm full of energy, I don't look like anything is wrong."

In fact, Lin Xi also lied. Although she and Xue Yun discussed pretending to be sick, no matter how well she pretended on the surface, it would be exposed as soon as the doctor took her pulse. Therefore, she specifically asked the system for some fever-inducing and sweating medicine, and then with her perfect acting skills, it was easy for her to fool everyone.

Who would have thought that the original owner's body looked healthy on the surface, but there was a sense of emptiness inside, and in just three short years, he had experienced the death of both parents, the rebellion of the rebels, the divorce of his wife and other blows one after another. Just as the doctor Li said, he was frightened, sad and angry, and could not express his feelings. I think the original owner died of depression early in the original plot for this reason. This time, the physical and mental illnesses were stimulated at the same time under the stimulation of the drugs, so this body fell into a nightmare and could not extricate itself.

Fortunately, Lin Xi has a strong will and the system is there to assist her, so she was able to wake up in such a short time. The original owner's physical and psychological problems were also alleviated for the most part because of this release. As long as she takes good care of herself in the future, there will be basically no problem living to an old age.

But she naturally couldn't tell Xue Yun the truth. This maid was a few years older than the original owner and had served her since she was a child. When she was old enough, the original owner had wanted to find a good family for her, but she refused verbally, saying that she wanted to accompany the original owner for the rest of her life. Now she felt so distressed that she thought Lin Xi was pretending to be sick. If she knew the truth, she would probably cry to death in front of the graves of Lin's father and mother.

Lin Xi could only comfort Xue Yun softly again. Seeing that her expression had eased a lot, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Xue Liu and the others were not punished, right? Although I want to vent my anger, I don't want to implicate them."

"Don't worry, young lady. The aunt scolded them a few words and said that she would wait for you to wake up and punish them personally. As for the gatekeepers, they were beaten with a stick. However, it was indeed their fault this time that they let a man from outside break into your yard. So it is not unfair for them to be beaten with a stick." Xueyun looked angrily.

Lin Xi yawned, "That's good. I think they must have been frightened today. Please comfort them for me. I will reward them after this matter is over."

"It's late at night, young lady, you should get some rest quickly. The court physician will come to treat you tomorrow, so we have to continue pretending to be sick." Seeing that Lin Xi was sleepy, Xue Yun began to persuade her.

"Okay, please keep an eye on it for me."

"Look at what the young lady is saying. This is what a servant should do. Hurry up and wipe the cake foam from the corners of your mouth. Don't wait until tomorrow when everyone comes to see you, only to find out that you are a little rat who stole cakes in the middle of the night." Xueyun showed a loving smile, wiped the cake from the corners of her mouth, and urged her to quickly wash up and go to bed.

The master and servant were in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, but Helan Ting, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall of the Duke's Mansion, was in a miserable state.

He Lanting knelt on the mat, his usually upright figure now looked a little hunched. After the family rules, Xie ordered that no doctor be sent for him, so Heng Zhi could only quietly ask the court doctor to apply the best wound medicine to him, and then wrapped him with a thick layer of gauze.

Although the weather at the end of May was already quite warm, the night breeze was still a little chilly. He Lanting was hurriedly taken to Fuxue Courtyard, wearing only a loose robe. He knelt in the cold ancestral hall, feeling the ice and fire on his hands and body. He could hardly maintain his usual dignified demeanor.

Fortunately, although the He family is not from the military, their children practice some physical fitness exercises on weekdays. He Lanting practices sword for half an hour every morning. Therefore, although he feels a little uncomfortable now, he can persist.

"How's things going with my cousin?" He glanced at Heng Zhi who was kneeling beside him.
