Mr. Jian had a stern face, and when he spoke, there was a hint of anger in his voice, "Secretary Jiang, you came to the Jian family at this time. Does the City Lord have something urgent for you to convey?

He knew he was disturbing her but still chose this time to come. When has the city lord become such an unruly person?

If you say that the city lord doesn't know that it is time for the Jian family to have dinner, he will not believe it.

Secretary Jiang seemed oblivious to the displeasure in his words and maintained a formal smile. "The City Lord asked me to oversee the execution of Miss Jian for entering the dark room."

Master Jian's breath caught in his throat. He was silent for two seconds before softening his tone and explaining, "Niece Luo Ling has violated the family rules and is currently in solitary confinement for a month. We'll discuss the punishment of being put in a dark room after her confinement is over."

Jian Jinge narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

It seems that her previous speculation was correct.

It seemed that the elders of the Jian family had seen through Jian Luoling's little thoughts, but they all chose to turn a blind eye.

"I remember that your Jian family's family competition will be held at the end of next month, right?" Secretary Jiang's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Miss Jian Er very obscurely, and said meaningfully,

"It just so happens that Miss Jian has just been put under house arrest. Master Jian, are you sure you want to wait until a few days before the competition to let Miss Jian receive her punishment?"

Who is Mr. Jian? He immediately understood what Secretary Jiang meant and his face froze.

in silence.

While he was preparing his words, Secretary Jiang glanced at the expressions of the Jian family members and said in a formal manner, "If this is the decision of the Jian family, it is not easy for me, a secretary, to reject the Jian family's decision. I will go back and report to the city lord.

But before I leave, I would like to kindly remind you that the city lord only took lightly the matter of Miss Lele's encounter to give face to Old Master Jian.

Therefore, based on my understanding of the City Lord's temper, after a month when Miss Jian's confinement ends, in order to avoid any unnecessary accidents, the City Lord will probably personally supervise and observe Miss Jian's punishment."

Secretary Jiang deliberately emphasized the words "accidentally" and "personally".

There was a hint of irony and threat.

After hearing these words, Mr. Jian's face turned dark.

If the city lord came in person, they would definitely not be able to delay any longer. Just as he said, the Jian family was originally in the wrong in this matter.

At that time, niece Luo Ling will have to go into the dark room to be punished no matter what.

Accepting the punishment in the dark room at that time meant that she gave up the family competition.

Otherwise, she would not be able to participate in the family competition at all due to her serious injuries.

But if she were to go into the dark at this time and get injured, it would be hard to be sure that her injuries would be fully healed within a month.

The more Mr. Jian thought about it, the heavier his mood became and the darker his face became.

"Second Master Jian, have you accepted the punishment of twenty lashes and kneeling in the ancestral hall for a week to reflect on your sins?" Jian Jinge knew very well that the finishing blow had to be quick, fierce and accurate.

Therefore, I decided to be the troublemaker... Ugh... I am a beautiful and kind-hearted person who broke this deep atmosphere.

As soon as these words fell, it was like a thunderclap, which instantly pushed Mr. Jian, who was already in a heavy mood, into the abyss again.

He guessed what she was going to do almost instantly.

He glared at her angrily, but before he could scold her, Jian Jinge's soft, slightly innocent voice rang out, "I always run into Second Master Jian every time I come back. I guess he hasn't been punished yet. Is it possible that the punishments in the Jian family rules are just talk?"

As she spoke, her eyes lightly swept over the many members of the Jian family, leisurely admiring their slightly distorted and... awkward expressions at this moment.

While slowly finishing off the enemy, he said, "Since Mr. Jian hasn't accepted the punishment yet, I, a kind-hearted person, will make a small guess.

Miss Jian's punishment of twenty lashes and kneeling in the ancestral hall for a week to reflect on her actions has definitely not been implemented yet.

So the eldest lady is just like Mr. Jian, just talking but not punishing?

No way! No way! My selfless Mr. Jian, didn’t you say that you would treat everyone equally and impartially in the future? "

After Jian Jinge finished exclaiming in exaggeration, he feigned disappointment and glanced at Master Jian Er. He sighed deeply and offered consolation with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "If that's the case, then why not listen to me? Let's just get rid of these Jian family rules that are just for show!

Otherwise, it would be really annoying."
