Time Travel and Love

At the twentieth stroke of the cane, the torturer stopped and said, "Princess, he is dead."

"Yeah." Chu Qingmeng didn't even give a flicker of emotion. Mo Jiangche looked at the concubine's body in disbelief, tears faintly visible in his eyes, and he slumped to the ground. Chu Qingmeng tightly grasped his hand and pressed it against her knee, not allowing him to move.

At the fortieth stroke of the cane, the other torturer also stopped and said, "Reporting to the Princess, the execution is complete. He is dead."

"Yes. Uncle Fu, take care of their funeral." After hearing the butler's response, he spoke again, "Did you see it all?! This is the end of flattering the emperor and betraying his master! Remember it all!"

The concubines and maids were already shaking with fear, trembling like sieves, afraid to cry or faint. The other palace doctors were also pale with fear. They all knelt and said yes hastily.

"Okay. I have punished you, now it's your turn." Chu Qingmeng said.

Everyone stared at her in astonishment. Even the elders in the palace, Uncle Fu, glanced at Chu Qingmeng. Punishing the master?! In every wealthy family, the blame was always placed on the servants! Why would they punish the master? The concubines and maids were so frightened that they held back their tears.

"Second Young Master, you didn't distinguish between the important and the unimportant, and allowed me to seduce you. Twenty lashes." Chu Qingmeng released Mo Jiangche's hand. "I repeat, you must not show mercy when you are in charge of the punishment, otherwise I will teach you how to punish people."

As Mo Jiangche stared at him, Chu Qingmeng signaled for his servants to pull him down to his knees and begin the execution. Although the Second Young Master remained silent and Chu Qingmeng remained composed, Chunhe could still see it. With each blow, Chu Qingmeng's body trembled. Her hands, resting on her knees, clenched into fists, blood smeared across her injured palms. She was distressed. Shuangcheng didn't understand. He could tell the Ninth Master was distressed, so why did he punish him? Most wealthy families punished servants and never touched their masters.

After twenty lashes, Chu Qingmeng felt a pain in his heart with every breath, and his hands were shaking. But he gritted his teeth and stood up. These lashes couldn't cause much damage to Mo Jiangche. After all, he was a man of internal strength, so these were just superficial injuries to him. He didn't say anything because it was his first time being scolded by his mother, and he was still in a daze.

Chun He helped her walk down the stairs step by step, touching Mo Jiangche's face. Her hands were shaking badly. Mo Jiangche looked up and saw that Chu Qingmeng's face was covered with tears, and the headband covering her eyes was completely soaked. "Mother..."

Without saying anything else, he turned around and pushed Chunhe away, "Feiying Feiling."

The two men appeared in response. Chu Qingmeng said calmly, "Hold the Second Young Master. If you can't, you will receive the same punishment as him: twenty lashes each, to be carried out by the Dark Guard Battalion in the execution hall."

Before anyone knew what she meant, Chu Qingmeng knelt down. "Mrs. Chu, your crime is one: you gave birth to a child but didn't raise him! Your crime is two: you didn't teach your son well! Your crime is three: you let your son do what he wants! Thirty lashes! Execute!"

Everyone was stunned. Mo Jiangche stared at her with wide eyes, tears streaming down his face. Xinglong was so frightened that he knelt down and cried out in a trembling voice, "Princess! You can't do that!"

"Beat! I forgive you! I don't want to threaten you for the third time! Beat!" Chu Qingmeng roared fiercely, "Anyone! No more kneeling! No more persuasion! If anyone makes a sound, I'll give you ten more lashes! Xinglong! If you don't move! I'll have you beheaded right now!"

Her words silenced everyone. Chun He could only cry anxiously, not daring to kneel down and speak. She knew Chu Qingmeng too well, and he always kept his word when it came to serious matters. Wen Zhong and Wu Qing no longer cared about hiding, and directly appeared in front of Chu Qingmeng, "Master! You can't!"

"Forty! Xinglong! If you don't move, you will lose your life now!" Chu Qingmeng gritted his teeth and roared.

Xinglong swallowed his saliva and delivered the first blow with shaking hands. Chu Qingmeng, as if aware that Wenzhong and the others were planning to attack Xinglong, spoke again, "Wenzhong! Don't touch him! Xinglong! Do the same thing you did just now!"

Xinglong had no choice but to raise his hand and hit Chu Qingmeng hard with the whip. Chu Qingmeng was in so much pain that he almost couldn't kneel up straight. He gritted his teeth and persisted, "Hit me! Why are you stopping?! Do you need me to count?!"

Xinglong had no choice but to continue the execution. Wenzhong had no choice but to quietly retreat and leave Mo Jiangche's yard and go to the front yard. Mo Jiangche looked at Chu Qingmeng, who was whipped and swayed. He was in a state of extreme collapse. He struggled to get closer with trembling body and bare eyes, crying out in shame, "Mother! Mother! I was wrong! Mother!! I was wrong! I was wrong! I was really wrong! You can't hit me! You can't hit me!! Mother! I beg you! Mother! Ahhhhh!"

As soon as Wen Zhong arrived at the main courtyard, he saw Mo Jiangqing with a cold face ordering people to look for Mo Jiangche. Seeing Wen Zhong's anxious face, he hurriedly asked what was wrong, and then hurried to Mo Jiangche's yard.

Entering the main hall, he ignored all formalities and rushed straight into the room to whisper to Mo Liujin. After listening to Mo Liujin's general idea, he didn't even put the tea bowl on the table properly before rushing out of the room. Seeing him so panicked, everyone was stunned. Mo Liuyuan originally wanted to help him calm down, but he looked too uneasy, it was clear that something urgent had happened! His two relatives were no longer able to sit still. In desperation, they all got up and went to check.
