The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"I'm asking you, you evil beast, to beg for mercy!"

He then gritted his teeth, grasped the board with both hands, and brought it down with great force, hitting Jia Baoyu hard on the buttocks.

However, this time, Jia Zheng was so angry that he failed to control his strength.

It landed heavily on Jia Baoyu's buttocks, without any sense of severity.

"Ah~~~!"

Jia Baoyu immediately raised his head and screamed.

I just felt that this hit was more painful than the previous ones.

Then his eyes rolled back and he fell straight onto the bench, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Seeing this, Jia Mu realized that Jia Zheng was not going to stop and was ready to continue beating him. She even threw away the crutch in her hand in a hurry.

He rushed towards Jia Baoyu with trembling steps, angrily scolding Jia Zheng.

"Stop! Stop it!"

The maidservant beside her hurriedly supported Jia Mu and trotted to catch up.

When she arrived next to Jia Baoyu, Grandmother Jia pushed Jia Zheng away and protected Jia Baoyu.

He angrily scolded Jia Zheng who was holding a stick.

"You're still brazenly trying to bully me in front of me? Are you planning to beat up an old woman like me as well?"

Jia Zheng was a scholar and an official, and the most important things to him were loyalty, filial piety, and etiquette.

Hearing this, he quickly dropped the board and knelt on the ground.

"I would never dare to have such thoughts even if I die. What the old lady said makes me feel ashamed."

Seeing Jia Zheng like this, Jia Mu didn't want to make a big deal out of it and ruin Jia Zheng's reputation.

Then he looked at Jia Baoyu lovingly as the maids and nannies behind him untied the rope and wiped the blood, and asked with some dissatisfaction,

"Baoyu is a filial and obedient child. What on earth did he do to provoke the master to be so furious that he must beat him to death?"

Seeing that Lady Jia was also filled with rage, Jia Zheng was afraid that Lady Jia would get angry to the point of causing harm, so he had to control his temper and said,

"Old lady, do you know what kind of wicked thing this evil creature did today?"

Grandmother Jia bent down to look at Jia Zheng, and pointed at Jia Baoyu behind her and said,

"Baoyu has always been a well-behaved and clever child, respecting etiquette and the law, and respecting his elders!"

"As a father, you beat him to death here without asking why or if he was right or wrong?"

"If you can't explain anything today, don't blame me for disregarding your dignity, sir!"

Jia Zheng took a deep breath and said helplessly,

"Let the old lady know that this evil creature actually dared to be so presumptuous and rude when the Lady of Leping came to the palace today. He even angered the nanny beside the Lady. If this gets out, how can I be worthy of the favor that the emperor has shown to my Jia family?"

Grandmother Jia also understood why Jia Zheng had made such a fuss.

However, the incident had already happened, and seeing Jia Baoyu beaten half to death, he became even more angry.

I clearly told no one to tell Jia Zheng and I handled the matter, so who on earth was the one who told the master about this?

But seeing Baoyu fainted, he was so distressed that he said firmly,

"Now that I'm here, no one can hit Baoyu anymore!"

"Otherwise, just wait for me to find a rope and go to the ancestral hall to apologize to our ancestors."

"Old lady...I...ouch!"

Jia Zheng looked helpless and slapped his thigh hard.

Grandmother Jia said angrily,

"What? Did the old lady live too long and become an eyesore to you?!"

Jia Zheng immediately looked terrified and bowed his hands to apologize.

"Grandma, please don't say such things! It really makes me, as a son, feel ashamed!"

Then he waved his hand helplessly.

The servants on both sides then hurriedly threw aside the boards in their hands and retreated.

Seeing Jia Zheng give in, Grandmother Jia snorted coldly.

He turned around and looked at his lovely grandson.

When he saw Jia Baoyu being beaten with blood coming out of his mouth and nose, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Grandmother Jia couldn't help but feel distressed. She took out her handkerchief and tremblingly reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Jia Baoyu's mouth.

"Oh! My poor, dear grandson."

Then she said anxiously to the maidservant beside her,

"Quick! Help Baoyu down and call the doctor."

The maids and servants were busy preparing to take action, but Jia Zheng just shouted in a low voice.
