Such a big thing happened in the family, so the old lady naturally knew about it. After all, Sun Jiye had just come to complain.

She looked at the slap mark on her beloved grandson's face and thought about settling the score with Xiao Lan.

When she heard that the master was going to question her in the main hall, she pulled Sun Jiye there as well. Yu Mama hurriedly followed, and Cuizhu behind her also followed, wiping off all her makeup and changing into simple clothes.

In the main hall, Xiao Lan and Sun Shaohua were still sitting on opposite sides. Seeing Sun coming and bringing Sun Jiye with her, Xiao Lan stood up, gave Sun her seat, and stood aside.

Unexpectedly, Sun came forward and raised her hand to hit Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan grabbed Sun's wrist and asked in confusion, "What are you doing, mother?"

Sun had been living a life of luxury for many years and had very little strength in her hands. She was unable to move when Xiao Lan grabbed her.

"What is mother doing?" Sun Shaohua was also puzzled. He hadn't even asked about Xin'er's matter yet, so what was his mother doing here?

Xiao Lan saw Sun Shaohua asking questions and let go of Sun's hand. Sun knew she couldn't win, so she took the seat of honor and pushed Sun Jiye to Sun Shaohua.

"Look at what your wife has done. She beat your son!" After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Xiao Lan.

Sun Shaohua saw the five finger marks clearly visible on Sun Jiye's face, and knew that the blow was not light.

"What's going on?" He looked up and asked Xiao Lan.

"He was disrespectful to his elders in public, disregarding the relationship between brother and sister, and said things that were extremely treasonous. As his mistress, I have the responsibility to discipline him!" Xiao Lan was neither humble nor arrogant, and her words were well-reasoned.

"Jieye, what did you say?" Sun Shaohua looked down at Sun Jiye.

"You are acting like a mistress now. Have you ever taken care of a child this big?" Sun glanced at her.

"Has mother ever asked me to take care of it?" Xiao Lan refused!

"Ji Ye, what did you say?" Sun Shaohua frowned and stared at his son.

Sun Jiye was frightened by the stare and lied, "I didn't say that!"

"Didn't you say?"

"I really didn't say that!" Sun Jiye turned his head away.

"If you dare to lie again, I will punish you according to the family rules!" Sun Shaohua was also furious. He knew that Sun Jiye was just lying. He didn't care about his children, but he was not a fool! He had been deceived enough today! Now even his own son was lying to him!

"I...I..." Sun Jiye trembled, but Ziwei suddenly took over, "The young master didn't say anything. It was Madam who framed him!"

A "pop" sound was heard in the main hall.

This slap was given by Xiao Lan to Ziwei on the face.

"My son has been innocent and lovable since he was young. If it weren't for you, a wicked servant, instigating him, how could he have said such outrageous words? Now that the master is disciplining his son, you still come to interrupt! Do you want Jiye to become disloyal and unfilial in the future?"

After Xiao Lan finished scolding, she turned to look at Sun Shaohua, "The child is ignorant, and as the mistress, I have to discipline him. If the master thinks my discipline is wrong, feel free to punish me!" Xiao Lan took a deep breath and continued, "Today, Xin'er was in unbearable pain. Only Jiye had an ice bowl at home. I brought it to Xin'er for emergency pain relief. Is that wrong?"

Xiao Lan met Sun Shaohua's eyes, and Sun Shaohua nodded, "That's right!"

"Okay, then do you know what Jiye said? He said..."

"Children are just talking nonsense! You can't hit him!" Sun jumped off the chair and pointed at Xiao Lan.

"Mother! The mistress has the responsibility to discipline her children!" There was impatience in Sun Shaohua's voice. Sun could hear it, so she had to sit back in her seat and glare at Xiao Lan.

"He said Xin'er is not his sister, and I am not his mistress. We are both dying, and it would be better if we died soon! All the money is his!" Xiao Lan shed tears of resentment. She was really furious and stared at Sun Shaohua. "If others heard these words, would they say they were just innocent children?" She sneered, "They would just say that the master was a bad parent!"

After hearing this, Sun Shaohua pushed Sun Jiye in his arms to the ground and said, "You rebellious son!" He raised his hand to hit him.

"Grandma..." Sun Jiye cried.

Mrs. Sun rushed over to protect her grandson, and Xiao Lan quickly stopped Sun Shaohua.

"Master! Jiye is only six years old. How could he know these vicious words? Don't you want to think about it?" This is Fang Qingqing's son. Xiao Lan still has to protect him. If Fang Qingqing is willing, she will help her discipline him in the future!

Sun was startled and tried to explain, but Xiao Lan continued, "If it weren't for this cunning servant whispering in our ears every day, would our son, who has read the sages' books, have said such things?"

"Yes... yes..." Sun was stunned for a moment, but quickly took the opportunity to agree, "Hurry up and tie up this slave and drag him out!" She couldn't say that this was what she taught him every day.

Ziwei saw that the situation was not good. She had clearly heard these words from the old lady, so how could she be considered the one who instigated it?

She wanted to explain, but she was already picked up by the servants, her mouth gagged, and dragged out of the hall.

Seeing that she was not likely to please the situation, Sun wanted to take Sun Jiye away, but Sun Shaohua did not let her.

"The eldest grandson's problem has been solved, but what happened to the legitimate granddaughter? Doesn't mother want to know?" Sun Shaohua knew that Mrs. Sun doted on her grandson and disliked her granddaughter.

But he saw with his own eyes the pain the little child suffered, and the servants also admitted that they saw it with their own eyes. Cuizhu actually wrapped her burned daughter in a quilt!

When he thought of that scene, he wanted to kill that bitch with his own hands, and he blamed Sun for not asking any questions about his granddaughter.

"Then...then let's listen!" Sun asked someone to take Sun Jiye away, and she sat back down.

"Okay, then let's listen to the good things that Yu Mama's niece did today!" Sun Shaohua said as he glanced at Yu Mama, who had no expression on her face.

Sun Shaohua sneered in his heart when he saw Cuizhu dressed simply.

How could he not know what kind of character a woman he had slept with was? Now pretend!

"Tell me in detail how Xin'er got injured. If you dare to lie to me, I will never forgive you!" Sun Shaohua looked at Cuizhu with no emotion in his eyes.

Cuizhu looked into Sun Shaohua's eyes and knew that she could no longer pretend today. This man's eyes said it all, whether he was affectionate or heartless, the person being looked at knew it clearly.

She knelt on the ground, her face showing sorrow. "It is my fault that I failed to serve the young lady well and caused her to suffer. Please punish me, Master."

"Suffering? Punishment?" Sun Shaohua couldn't help laughing.

Cuizhu was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and she wanted to explain, "Master, but... this was also an accident."

Xiao Lan was so angry that she stepped forward and kicked Sun Shaohua hard to the ground without waiting for her to ask.

"It was an accident. If it was an accident, why didn't you seek medical treatment for her right away? Have you ever thought about how painful it would be for such a small child with such serious injuries... that hot body of hers to be buried under the quilt? Did she beg you to let her go? Did you let her go?"

Cuizhu knew it was useless to ask Xiao Lan for help, so she looked past Xiao Lan and looked at Sun Shaohua, "Master... Master, I didn't... Don't listen to her nonsense... It's not..."

Xiao Lan sneered, "You hurt the master's own daughter. If he can still protect you, then he is unworthy of being a father!"

"Master... Master... Have you forgotten how much you love Zhu'er? Have you forgotten our love?" Cuizhu was indomitable and continued to crawl forward!

"Affection? Who do you think you are? What affection could there be between me and a slave like you?" Sun Shaohua felt ashamed when she heard this. A slave wanted to give birth to a son for her!

He slammed the table, pointed at Cuizhu, and said in a trembling voice, "Do you know what my daughter has endured? The crime of skinning!" Sun Shaohua straightened up and stepped on Cuizhu's shoulder, "Today I will make you taste the crime of skinning!"

"Someone come! Bring me a pot of boiling water!" Sun Shaohua gave an order, and Cuizhu was so frightened that she didn't know where to hide.

Xiao Lan watched Sun Shaohua from the side, finding his expression ridiculous. He had never cared for his daughter, yet now, when something terrible happened, he felt heartbroken? Was he truly heartbroken, or did he feel that being a servant had offended him?

The servant quickly brought a kettle of boiling water. Cuizhu was so scared that she kept crawling to Sun Shaohua's feet. After being kicked away by Sun Shaohua, she crawled to her mother's side!

"Hold on tight!" The two servants obeyed the order and stepped forward to hold him down.

Sun Shaohua was so angry that he took out all his anger today on Cuizhu. He grabbed the kettle and poured it on Cuizhu's arm!

"Ah..." Cuizhu's screams resounded throughout the yard!

No one in the hall could bear to watch and turned away.

This kind of cruel scene is unbearable for ordinary people. The screams are like sharp thorns piercing people's ears!

Xiao Lan trembled all over, but clenched her fists and stared at him! She wanted to warn herself that being kind to others here would be cruel to herself! It would be like giving her life to others!

After pouring the pot of water, Cuizhu was already lying on the ground weakly, crying to her mother, "Auntie, save me! Auntie..."

Mother Yu didn't dare to speak. She had never seen Sun Shaohua like this. Under normal circumstances, Sun Shaohua would just listen to Cuizhu's crying and never care about Xiner's minor injury. Why did Sun Shaohua do this today? Was it because the injury was too serious, or was there some other reason?

She thought of Sun Shaohua's visit to the county government office this morning. Before she had time to listen to what Butler Wang said, she glanced at Butler Wang, who was also looking at her, shaking his head slightly at her with a very ugly expression.

"Someone! Throw this slave into the woodshed and sell him to a human trafficker in three days!" Sun Shaohua threw the kettle to the ground with a clang.

The two servants obeyed the order, dragged Cuizhu out and pulled her out, tearing her arms until they were covered in blood.

Cuizhu was also forced into a corner. She bit the servant's hand, half-struggled and lay on the ground, "Why blame me! Why blame me! If you hadn't come to talk to me and didn't allow that little girl to be around, how could she have been burned!" Cuizhu yelled and screamed. The servant tried to grab her again, and she scratched herself madly.

Cuizhu took advantage of the servants' helplessness and suddenly rushed to Yu Mama, grabbed her clothes and started tearing them apart!

"Now that you have no use for me, you just ignore me? If you hadn't asked me to seduce the master, would I have become this concubine? With my looks, I can be a proper young lady in any family. Huh? Why don't you care about me now? Why don't you care about me? Are you worthy of my mother?"
