You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Seeing this, Li gritted her teeth and forced a smile.

"Uncle, let's talk it over. You're old, be careful not to hurt yourself."

The old man cracked his whip with a loud "crackling" sound.

"Li, if you and your daughter know what's best, come here and accept your punishment. Otherwise, as the clan leader, I will go to the ancestral hall and invite the clan members to expel you and your daughter from the family tree.

"My Mu family has been a family of loyal warriors for generations, and we cannot tolerate scum like you, mother and daughter, who harm our own family."

Li was shocked and ran a few steps to kneel down. "Uncle, Xue'er did something wrong, but she was forced to do it by others. Besides, I had nothing to do with this matter."

"You still dare to say you didn't get involved? How old is Xue'er? How could she be so scheming and bold as to steal her sister's fiancé?

That day, you clearly took her to the General's Mansion to plead guilty, and now you're telling me you had nothing to do with it. Fine, if you don't admit it, I'll beat you until you're done."

As he spoke, the old man whipped her and started lashing out, "Even if you hadn't been involved, you should be divorced for raising such a good daughter."

"Ah! Uncle, calm down! Can't you just admit that my niece-in-law was wrong? Stop hitting her, stop hitting her... Servant, are you all dead? Hurry and hold him back!"

The old man raised his whip and said, "As the wife of the second wife, you allowed your daughter to do such a thing. It is not too much to beat you to death today.

How dare you call a servant!

Come on, let them come, I see who dares to come? Anyone who comes will be sentenced to death! "

Li received more than ten lashes, and the old man finally stopped, tired of beating her. "Where's that evil creature Xue'er? Get out here and be punished!"

With the help of a nanny, Li sat up and kowtowed.

"Uncle, we were wrong and we won't do it again.

Please have mercy on me. Xue'er was beaten with twenty sticks in the palace last night. She woke up after daybreak and is now hanging on for dear life. She can't stand any more beatings."

Can't stand it?

Our Ge'er was tortured to death by you in the past. Who can cry out for her?

"Since you still have breath left, come out and be punished. If you do something wrong, you must pay the price."

Li kowtowed repeatedly, and the servants and family members around her also knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Grandpa, please calm down. The young lady is a girl after all. She has been seriously injured and cannot withstand the whipping."

The old man seemed to be persuaded and sighed, "Yes, a little girl, raised with great care.

Li's face lit up with joy, and she was about to kowtow to express her gratitude.

Unexpectedly, the old man changed the subject and said, "If a daughter is not taught well, it is the mother's fault. Since she can't bear the punishment, then you, as her mother, should bear it for her."

After he finished speaking, he raised the whip and whipped Li again, making her roll on the ground. Only then did the old man put away the whip.

"Today, I am only giving you a small punishment as a warning. If you dare to harm others again in the future, whether you do it yourself or ask others to do it, I will never show mercy and will expel you and your daughter from the family tree.

Li, did you hear clearly?"

Li was twitching in pain, "Listen, listen carefully!"

The old man lashed the ground with the whip again, making Li tremble with fear.

Seeing this, the old man snorted and walked away with his whip in hand.

I saw the old man gradually walking away until he left the mansion.

Li then began to wail, "Oh my God, this old man wants to beat me to death..."

The servants were busy comforting her, carrying her back to her bedroom.

No one noticed that when the person in the dark flicked his slender hand, a barely perceptible fragrance drifted away with the wind.

The study room of the General's Mansion.

The old man let out a sigh of relief, and returned to the study in the general's mansion in a proud manner. As soon as he sat down, he shouted outside.

"Someone, go get Ge'er."

The promise fell.

After a while, Mu Yunge ran quickly to the study.

"grandfather!"

The old man patted the whip on the desk and said, "Ge'er, I avenged my anger for you today by whipping that vicious woman Li thirty times."

Mu Yunge smiled happily: "Wow, thirty lashes? You are amazing!"

"Alas, time is merciless. Grandfather gets tired after just a few lashes. Otherwise, he would have to whip her a few more times."

At this time, several girls who had followed to watch the excitement ran back excitedly.

Annan said first: "Miss, you don't know, the old master is very powerful, his prestige is still as great as before.

He walked towards the Mu Mansion while holding a whip and shouting, attracting many people who came to watch the fun along the way. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he waved his whip and beat anyone who dared to stop him.

The doorman and the servants didn't dare to approach him. He went straight into the area between the front yard and the main courtyard. Only when Li came out did he stop beating the servants who were trying to stop him..."

An Bei added, "Ms. Li still wanted to resist, but when she heard the old man say that he would invite the clan members to open an ancestral hall and repair the mother and daughter who had harmed her family, she was frightened."

Anxi chuckled, "After the door was whipped twice, it was no longer guarded. The onlookers poured into the mansion and watched the whole process. Now, when they go back, won't they exaggerate and spread the news?"

Also, I brought that little girl An Su with me.

Hehe...the mother and daughter's wounds won't heal for a month or two. Now, for a month or two, they won't be able to cause trouble again, and we can have some peace and quiet for a while."

Mu Yunge frowned and asked, "Will they find out something?"

"An Su said that the poison is colorless and odorless. If an injured person smells it, the wound will be difficult to heal. Even if you suspect it, you can't find it."

"That's good! Anbei stays here, and the rest of you go down."

After everyone left, the old man looked at the master and servant and said, "After what happened in the past two days, I'm afraid those people will speed up their process. We must be careful and keep an eye on their movements."

After saying that, the old man took out a map of the capital, and Mu Yunge and An Bei came forward.

He gestured on the map for a long time and said, "There are 6,000 guards in the palace, and more than 20,000 imperial guards in the city, totaling nearly 30,000 people.

No matter who wins or loses, if those guys turn around and attack us, we won't be able to fight back.

The prince probably doesn’t have too many men, so if we want to win, we can only outsmart him…”

Half a day later, several people came out of the study.

After sending An Bei away, the old man asked someone to guard the gate and took Mu Yunge back to the bedroom in Songheyuan.

After closing the door, he bent down and pressed somewhere under the bed. With a slight sound, the wall opened to both sides.

He led Mu Yunge in and lit a torch in the corner.

After walking for about an hour, the two finally came out of the exit.

Mu Yunge looked around and asked, "Grandfather, are we leaving the city?"

The old man nodded proudly, “Well, this farmyard was bought by my grandfather a few years ago.

My grandfather and the secret guards in the mansion spent a lot of effort and three years to dig this secret escape passage. Behind the courtyard is a forest that stretches for more than ten miles, which is enough for emergency use.

Mu Yunge sighed, "A straight road may not be difficult, but the moat is difficult."

"Indeed, from the dozens of stairs up and down, you should know that it is quite difficult. We have capable people among our secret guards."

Mu Yunge's eyes lit up, "Could anyone have escaped in the past?"
