"You poisoned me, and I passed it on to Rong Xin without knowing it, but I am the one who was so cruel and ruthless. How can this be true?" What disgusted Lin Xuxi the most was the double standards of these people.

Whatever they do is to enforce justice, and if they have no other choice, she will be cruel, selfish and vicious.

Where in the world can such truth exist?

"I!"

Even the sharp-tongued Yan Yao didn't know how to respond to this. His face turned red and he couldn't say a word.

Jian Hui looked at Senior Brother Yan while crying. He really didn't expect that Senior Brother Yan would take the blame. He looked at Senior Brother Yan with gratitude, and his disgust for Lin Xuxi increased.

"Jiang Sihan, what do you think?" Lin Xuxi looked at Jiang Sihan beside her.

Jiang Sihan said coldly: "Three hundred lashes of the Soul Refining Whip."

He showed no mercy and even increased the punishment.

If such a thing happens, it must be severely punished, and we must not encourage them to do such a heinous thing as poisoning their elders.

Zhou Jingyue, who had been whipped twice, gasped in fear when he heard the number 300. He subconsciously looked at his master's wife. It seemed that she had shown mercy by lashing him with 100 lashes that time.

"Master?" Yan Yao never thought that his master would punish him so severely.

Shouldn't the Master be more compassionate towards them? Furthermore, he was seeking revenge for Aunt Xin, so how could that be considered wrong? Even if there was punishment, it should have been a mere formality, a minor punishment to serve as a warning.

It’s just that Yan Yao overestimated how much Jiang Sihan loved them, and also overestimated his position in his heart.

In fact, Jiang Sihan had no feelings for these disciples at all, they were just a little better than strangers.

What these people call the master's love is just an illusion.

Because Jiang Sihan had never appeared before, they had a more beautified impression of him. Coupled with Rong Xin's various provocations and rumors, this gave these people the illusion that Jiang Sihan was a good person.

In fact, nothing.

"After three hundred lashes, I'm afraid he'll be crippled!" Rong Xin was shocked and quickly held Brother Han's hand, pleading, "Brother Han, three hundred is too much."

She looked at the other person with her almond-shaped eyes, thinking that this would be the beginning of a new situation.

"Anyone who pleads for Yan Yao will be punished as well." Jiang Sihan pulled his hand back, looked at Rong Xin coldly, and explained, "Such things should not be encouraged."

The others who were about to speak fell silent and swallowed back their words of pleas.

Everyone looked at Yan Yao with sympathy. Three hundred lashes would cost him half his life.

"Brother Han, let me take Yao'er's place. This matter was originally caused by me. If, if I hadn't eaten that snack, none of this would have happened."

Rong Xin cried as she spoke, and her tears softened everyone's hearts.

"Aunt Xin, there's no need!" Yan Yao glared at Lin Xuxi fiercely and sneered, "If someone hadn't done it on purpose, neither you nor I would have had to suffer."

"That's right. If someone hadn't deliberately poisoned you, you wouldn't have had to do this." Lin Xuxi nodded in agreement and sighed, "Alas, whoever cast the Heart-Slaying Curse is to blame."

After Lin Xuxi finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Zhou Jingyue followed his master's wife back.

Yan Chuhua glanced at Yan Yao, sighed in disappointment, and said, "I never thought that you would actually cast a heart-killing curse on the elders and the master's wife. It's really not right."

Yan Yao snorted coldly and retorted, "Why are you pretending now? Don't think I don't know who you are." He was so hypocritical, and now he pretended to be like this to win Lin Xuxi's favor.

It's nothing more than hoping to get some benefits from her.

"Nothing good, no pain." Yan Yao snorted coldly. If he couldn't fight Lin Xuxi, could he also fight Yan Chuhua?

Yan Chuhua's face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to refute for a moment. Finally, he turned around and ran away in anger.

Everyone dispersed, and Yan Yao was afraid that he could not escape this punishment.

"Yao'er, I, I didn't know it would be like this." If Rong Xin had known that the snacks were sent by Yan Yao, she would definitely have been more careful and would not have made such a rash plan.

Rong Xin caressed Yan Yao's cheek tenderly, feeling so sad that her tears seemed to have broken off. She choked and said, "I shouldn't have done this. I'm sorry."

"Aunt Xin, this isn't your fault, it's Lin Xuxi's fault!" Yan Yao shook his head and sneered, "This matter won't be brushed aside so easily. I will definitely retaliate."

Jianhui was crying so hard that he couldn't even speak complete sentences.

"Brother Yan, I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean it, really. I wuwuwu——"

"It has nothing to do with you. I asked you to do that." Yan Yao held all the grudges against Lin Xuxi. He felt that everyone else was innocent.

It was only three hundred lashes. Lin Xuxi remembered that this was the number of lashes Yan Yao had given her in one day.

When she returned to the bedroom, Lin Xuxi discovered that there was a follower behind her.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Xuxi frowned slightly. What was this person planning to do by following her?

"I, I want to ask Master's wife about Senior Brother Yan." In fact, Zhou Jingyue has always felt that something is wrong since the incident happened, but he can't tell what is wrong.

Lin Xuxi ignored him and after entering the bedroom, she walked around the treasure cabinet and went to the desk to write a letter.

She wanted to write a letter to Shu Jing, telling her that she would be going to Jinbao Pavilion in a few days. If she was free, they could meet again.

"Master's wife, do you need someone to grind ink for you?" Zhou Jingyue didn't dare to go in casually. He peeked through the gap in the treasure cabinet and saw Master's wife writing, so he asked.

Lin Xuxi did not answer and just focused on writing.

Zhou Jingyue knew he was wrong, but he didn't dare to interrupt. He thought it would be good to go out and pick some spiritual fruits for his mistress to taste later, so he ran out quickly.

"elder sister."

Lin Xuxi had just put down her pen and was thinking about delivering the letter when she heard someone outside calling her "sister." Who else could call her "sister"?

"What's the matter?" Lin Xuxi did not stop what he was doing and asked casually when the letter dried.

"elder sister."

Rong Xin walked around the treasure chest and came to the desk, where she knelt down. Without saying a word, she kowtowed and begged, her voice tinged with tears, "Sister, please save Yao'er. If he gets whipped three hundred times, he'll be in real trouble. Sister, please save him, okay? He's just a child."

Is this the same thing again? She takes the blame, and Rong Xin gets to reap the spoils.

Lin Xuxi looked embarrassed and sighed, "It's not convenient for me to interfere with Jiang Sihan's decision. You know how unhappy I was with him. If I go to plead for mercy, I'm afraid he'll punish me even more severely."

"But, but Brother Han only listens to my sister. If you didn't plead for mercy, Yao'er would really be beaten to death." Rong Xin cried even more sadly.

When Zhou Jingyue came in, he heard Aunt Xin's voice first. He was a little surprised. Why did Aunt Xin suddenly come to Master's wife? He walked over slowly, wanting to hear what the two were talking about.

Lin Xuxi was the first to notice Zhou Jingyue's approach, and helped him hide his presence to ensure that Rong Xin didn't notice.

"Jiang Sihan didn't listen to me. If he had, we wouldn't have taken action that day." Lin Xuxi picked up the letter, blew on the wet ink, and sighed helplessly, "He insisted on doing what he wanted. There was nothing I could do."

"But, but didn't sister take so many whippings for Yue'er last time? This time, please help Yao'er."
