The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating
Chapter 49 Punished
Li Anxiu's expression changed: "Don't talk nonsense, I am..."
Seeing that he couldn't speak, Zuo Siyun stomped her foot in anger and left crying.
Li Anxiu wanted to go after them, but when he thought of Li Ancai and Li Anqi, he chose to stay.
Zuo Siyun's personality was as usual, so no one took it to heart.
“It’s Cai’er who fell into the water. The important thing is to care about Cai’er’s condition. Why argue about it here?”
Aunt Xia looked at Li Ancai with heartache, and then said.
"Why don't we just ask Cai'er how he fell into the water?"
The old lady nodded and quickly said, "Quickly call Physician Guo to take a look."
Granny Wang immediately sent someone to summon Physician Guo.
Physician Guo examined Li Ancai and said that Li Ancai was fine, but he was just frightened and temporarily unwilling to speak.
Fushou Hall was packed with people.
This is the second time Li Anqi has knelt in the Fushou Hall and received criticism from everyone since he transmigrated here.
"Your Madam, Master, Madam, if this old servant has told a single lie, may I be struck by lightning!"
Granny Song knelt behind Li Anqi, crying as she swore an oath.
“Granny Song is an old servant of the Jingguo Mansion, and she is always kind and generous. She would never lie.”
After Li Baoqin finished speaking, she thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so she continued.
"But I don't really believe it's true that Li Anqi promoted An Cai."
Madam Zhao said, "Does Qin'er really think that Granny Song would tell such a lie?"
Li Baoqin shook her head and frowned as she looked at Li Anqi.
Li Miao looked troubled, as if he suspected that Li Anqi was the one who did it.
The old lady watched Song Mama's every move with a blank expression.
“It was my second sister who saved Cai’er herself, how could she possibly harm him?” Li Anxiu was anxious to defend Li Anqi.
"Perhaps she harbors resentment over Aunt Gao's curse, which is why she vented her anger on An Cai," said Madam Zhao.
Li Anxiu shook his head and looked at Li Anqi: "Second sister is definitely not that kind of person."
“Brother is right, it could absolutely not be my sister!” Li Anshu said.
"An Qi, is there anything you want to say?" Li Miao asked seriously.
Li Anqi's sleeve was still damp on one side. She hadn't had time to change her clothes before being taken to Fushou Hall, and she looked somewhat disheveled.
Li Anqi bit her lip and asked Li Miao in return.
"Father, ask yourself honestly. Based on what Qi'er has done over the past two years, would he really harm Cai'er? Is he really a heartless and vicious person?"
Li Anqi's tone was somewhat aggressive, which made Li Miao feel uncomfortable and offended.
"Be bold!"
Li Miao slammed his hand on the seat handle.
"If you didn't do it, just explain. Why are you being so sarcastic? Are you blaming your father for suspecting you?!"
Li Anqi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, looked up at Li Miao, and said in an extremely calm tone, "It wasn't Anqi who did it."
Granny Song cried even harder.
"This old servant has never done anything wrong in his life. Could it be that this old servant's eyesight is failing him?"
Li Anqi turned around and looked at Granny Song.
Pretending to be frightened by Li Anqi's gaze, Granny Song quickly said...
"It seems this old servant was mistaken and has wrongly tarnished the Second Miss's reputation. I'm afraid only death can atone for my sins!"
As she spoke, Granny Song got up and was about to crash into the pillar when Pei'er, who was beside Madam Zhao, quickly grabbed Granny Song's arm.
"Let go! In this situation, only death can prove the Second Miss's innocence!"
Madam Zhao looked at Li Miao with tears in her eyes, appearing pitiful.
"master!"
Madam Zhao cried out in pain and knelt down in front of Li Miao with a thud.
Li Miao looked troubled, glancing at Li Anqi and then at Granny Song.
The old lady remained silent.
At this moment, Xu'er, holding Li Ancai's hand, arrived at Fushou Hall.
"Reporting to Master and Madam, the Second Young Master can speak now!" Xu'er said.
"Oh?!" Li Miao asked hurriedly, "Cai'er, who exactly pushed you into the water?"
Li Ancai's eyes were dull as he looked at Li Anqi.
Li Anshu and Li Anxiu tensed up.
"Li Ancai, don't talk nonsense!" Li Anshu stood up and shouted.
"Cai'er, did you slip and fall into the pool by accident?" Li Anxiu asked.
Ang Lee shook his head blankly, remained silent for a moment, and then opened his pale lips.
"It was Second Sister who pushed Cai'er."
Everyone was shocked.
Li Anqi is even more unbelievable.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly remembered the figure that had disappeared into the bushes.
Li Anqi originally wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to remain silent.
"Li Anqi!"
Li Miao was furious.
"I thought you had changed your ways in the past two years, but I didn't expect you to be as unruly and vicious as before. You even wanted to push Cai'er into the water to drown her, just like you pushed Qin'er! You deserve to die!"
Li Anshu panicked: "Sister, speak up! Explain to Father!"
Seeing the old lady's pitying gaze, Li Anqi gradually lowered his head.
“Second sister…” Li Anxiu clenched his fists, frowned and shook his head.
Li Baoqin stared wide-eyed at Li Anqi and Li Ancai, seemingly unable to believe it either.
"Hmph! What else could she say? Cai'er's accusations are irrefutable! Didn't you see how ashamed she is, unable to lift her head?"
Li Miao angrily raised his hand.
"Guards! Bring me the whip!"
Steward Chen presented the household whip.
Li Anqi was forced to sit on a bench.
Li Miao glared angrily and lashed Li Anqi's back more than ten times.
Each lash was incredibly powerful.
The only sound that could be heard in the entire Fushou Hall was the cracking of whips.
Li Anqi trembled uncontrollably from the pain, his face turned deathly pale, he was covered in cold sweat, and his fingernails dug deep into his flesh, but he didn't utter a sound.
"All right!"
The old woman couldn't bear it, and standing up trembled, she shouted to stop her.
"Even if the second young lady is wrong, she has also contributed to the household. Why did you have to beat her so badly?!"
Li Miao paused abruptly.
He threw down the whip and let out a heavy "humph".
"Effective immediately, the tokens held by the Second Miss are hereby confiscated and handed over to the Young Madam to manage the household!"
Li Anqi strained to lift his head.
Seeing Madam Zhao looking down at him with an indifferent expression, the contempt and triumphant pleasure hidden in her eyes sent chills down his spine.
"Guards! Take the Second Miss back to her room and lock her up! No one is allowed to see her without my permission!"
Zhilan, Qiuyue, and Liuyun waited anxiously for a long time, tears streaming down their faces.
Upon hearing Li Miao speak, he quickly and gently helped Li Anqi up and carried her back to the courtyard.
The gate to Li Anqi's courtyard was slammed shut.
A ring of guards stood outside the courtyard, just like those guarding Aunt Gao's courtyard.
"Miss, just hold on a little longer, we've arrived." Zhilan turned to Li Anqi behind her and said gently.
Liu Yun sobbed, and Qiu Yue silently shed tears as they helped lift Li Anqi off Zhi Lan's back and place him face down on the bed.
With red eyes, Zhilan said softly to the two of them, "Stop crying, go get some hot water and medicine."
Liu Yun and Qiu Yue nodded and went to fetch hot water and medicine, respectively.
Zhilan gently removed Li Anqi's clothes.
All that could be seen on Li Anqi's fair and delicate back were whip marks that tore her skin and left her flesh raw.
"Master is too ruthless; he's really going for the kill!" Liu Yun said.
Zhilan made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Let's apply the medicine to Miss first and let her rest well."
The autumn moon and drifting clouds nodded.
Li Anqi slowly closed his eyes, lost in thought.
The old lady arrived shortly afterward.
When Li Anqi opened his eyes, he found that only the old lady was left in the room, sitting next to him.
