My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

"You're having fun treating me like a fool?"

Old Wei stared at Madam Shen with dark eyes, his murderous aura impossible to conceal.

The murderous look in her eyes made Madam Shen's legs go weak, and she stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

Her eyes darted around in a panic as she looked at the crowd, then suddenly her eyes lit up.

lunged at Shen Qingyun:

"Uncle, save me! I didn't do it!"

Shen Qingyun's face was very ugly, and he glared angrily at Madam Shen, who had caused him trouble.

Then he looked at Lao Wei:

"Master Wei..."

"To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey."

Before he could speak, Lao Wei replied to him.

Four words, yet they left Shen Qingyun speechless, though his nostrils flared slightly, clearly indicating he was quite angry.

That damned old Wei, he's just a guard, yet he doesn't give him any face.

So, is he going to use his own Shen family as a pawn?

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Madam Shen was so frightened by these four words that she trembled all over.

An uneasy, fearful look crossed his eyes as he glanced at the crowd.

They tried to find someone willing to speak up for her.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her.

When she saw Lin Mo standing in the distance, her eyes lit up instantly.

People are not killed for their own sake.

Don't blame yourself.

Anyway, she'll definitely find a way to save herself.

Thinking of this, her expression changed, and she lowered her head and began to sob softly:

“Now that things have come to this, I… I can no longer hide it for her. I have two children to take care of. I’m sorry.”

As she spoke, she bowed her head and apologized to Lin Mo while crying.

Her affected manner sent a chill down Lin Mo's spine.

This woman still wants to shift the blame onto her mother!

Madam Shen looked up, her face full of grievance:

"Those words were not spoken by me, but by other people."

"Ha, nonsense. It was clearly you who said it; I heard it all." Someone in the crowd scoffed.

"If it wasn't you, why didn't you say so earlier?"

……

Facing the crowd who were all criticizing her, Madam Shen looked up and wiped away her tears with a wronged expression:

"I...I just wanted to protect her."

But now, I can't protect her anymore. I'm so sorry. It doesn't matter if I die, but I can't abandon my child. How will my child live without a mother?

Old Wei grew impatient and lashed out at her with his whip:

"Stop crying and wailing in front of me. Tell me, who is it?"

"Ahhh!"

Madam Shen let out a piercing scream, then shouted loudly:

"It's Liu Ying, Lin Mo's biological mother."

These are the words she said. I didn't say them earlier because I wanted to protect her.

We were dressed similarly, that's why you thought it was me. Really, everything I said is true.

After saying that, she started sobbing again.

This time, I really cried.

pain!

Everyone's eyes turned towards Lin Mo.

Lin Mo's face was frosty. She had known this woman would try to smear her, but when it actually happened, she still couldn't help but feel chilled.

When Lao Wei looked at Lin Mo, Lin Mo had already walked over.

She looked at Madam Shen and said coldly:

"You're talking nonsense!"

Your mouth is full of filth the moment you open it. Did you grow up eating feces?

The Marquis of Changle's family claims to be a family of scholars and gentlemen, but judging from your filthy attitude, I know it's all a charlatan, a complete fraud.

Everyone, "..."

Well, this is even worse; just listen to the profanity.

The Shen family members did not look well.

If Shen Qingyun hadn't stopped them from being insulted like that, someone would have rushed out long ago.

Madam Shen's face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she knelt down.

“Grandmother, it really is what your mother said.”

"Waaah, my ancestors, my two children are still so young. How can you bear to let them go without a mother at such a young age? I had no choice but to tell them about your mother. Please don't be angry, please don't blame me, okay?"

Lin Mo sneered, unrepentant to the end.

She looked at Old Wei and said, "Mr. Wei, you probably don't want to be fooled like a idiot, do you?"

Seeing Old Wei nod, she smiled slightly:

"Give me some time, and I'll give you the truth."

"Okay!" Old Wei nodded.

His murderous eyes swept over Madam Shen with a sinister look, and he flicked the whip in the air:

"Trying to fool me? I'll make her suffer an even worse death."

The crisp sound of the whip sent a chill down Madam Shen's spine.

Lin Mo nodded and looked at Madam Shen:

"If we admit it now, the consequences won't be so dire."

If you don't admit it, once your lies are exposed one by one, you will have nowhere to hide.

Lin Mo sneered and picked up a wooden stick.

"They threw dirty water on my mother..."

With a snap, Lin Mo broke the wooden stick in her hand, sneering.

"This is your fate."

Madam Shen's face drained of color instantly, and her body went limp as she collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qingyun's expression turned extremely ugly.

This idiot is clearly trying to drag Lin Mo's mother down with him.

Is Lin Mo someone to mess with now?

Those who are bold enough to throw mud at her.

If she weren't a member of the Shen family, he really wouldn't want to deal with this idiot.

He looked down at Lin Mo and lowered his voice:

"Ancestor..."

boom!

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Mo kicked him, sending him flying.

Seeing Shen Qingyun staring at her with resentment after falling to the ground, Lin Mo sneered.

"If I were really the ancestor of you bastards, I would personally kill you and send you to hell to avoid disgrace. What a waste of your lives."

Everyone nervously swallowed.

This woman is so arrogant; she'll start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Old Wei also twitched the corners of his mouth.

Shen Qingyun scrambled to her feet, barely suppressing her anger, "How could you hit someone?"

"Ah!"

Lin Mo sneered, "Didn't you call me ancestor?"

What? Your descendants are unfilial and have tarnished the Shen family's reputation. I can't even teach you a lesson?

Since we can't teach you a lesson, what are you doing, shamelessly calling me your ancestor?

Shen Qingyun, "..."

He felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

"Now, shut up, or I'll make an example of you." Lin Mo glanced coldly at Shen Qingyun.

Then he looked at Madam Shen and sneered.

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle and teach you a lesson in several sessions."

After saying that, he walked over to the firewood that was placed to the side, pulled out a wooden stick that was thicker than a baby's arm, and came over.

Everyone was terrified.

She wouldn't be trying to teach someone a lesson with this stick, would she?

Madam Shen looked pale as she watched Lin Mo dragging a wooden stick toward her. The sound of the stick dragging on the ground was like a direct blow to her heart, making her heart beat uncontrollably fast.

She wanted to kill herself, and Madam Shen saw the murderous intent in her eyes.

No, she wouldn't dare; she definitely wants to lower herself.

Madam Shen kept trying to calm herself down, but she broke down when Lin Mo raised the wooden stick and hit her.

She clutched her head and screamed in a shrill voice:

"Don't hit me, I said it."

Liu Ying didn't say anything. Yes, I framed her. I... I just wanted to drag her down with me and make her take the blame.

boom!

The wooden stick struck the ground with a loud thud and broke in two.

Madam Shen's body trembled again. How terrifying! What if the blow had landed on her...

She looked at Lin Mo, tears streaming down her face.

"Ancestor, I didn't really mean to frame your mother, really."

I just wanted to protect myself, sob sob. I know that as long as I pin the blame on your mother, you will definitely beg these escorts to save her.

"You're familiar with these guards; if you ask them for help, they certainly won't make things difficult for your mother."

"Waaah, please let me go, my child can't live without a mother."

Lin Mo sneered

"If I plead for my mother, Old Wei and the others won't make things difficult for her."

Who gave you the audacity to think that way?

That's typical of the Shen family; when something goes wrong, they try to shift the blame onto others. They're all shameless.

After speaking, Lin Mo looked at Lao Wei:

“Master Wei, now everything is clear. This matter has nothing to do with my mother; it was this woman who tried to smear her.”

A hint of coldness appeared on Lin Mo's face.

She made up her mind that from now on, if any member of the Shen family dared to come within three zhang of her, she would take action and beat them until they were afraid.

Old Wei's eyes had been fixed on Madam Shen for a long time.

That deathly gaze terrified Madam Shen, who immediately knelt on the ground and began to kowtow frantically.

"Master Wei, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Please forgive me this time, I promise I'll never do it again, please forgive me, boohoo!

Old Wei's face turned ashen:

"As I've said before, the most important thing to me is obedience."

Looting must not be tolerated.

But all of you have ignored what I said, and you are even more despicable.

In the end, they still tried to shift the blame to others.

If I don't make an example of you, it will be even harder to manage you people in the future.

Fifty lashes—whether you live or die is up to your own fate.

Fifty lashes!

Madam Shen was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder, and her body trembled with fear.

She knelt before Lin Mo:

"Help me, Lin Mo, I beg you to help me?"

Could you please plead with Master Wei for me?

"You brought this on yourself, you have no one to blame but yourself." Lin Mo looked at her with icy eyes.

"You...you're not human!" Madam Shen roared.

"Why won't you help me? How can you be so heartless? Are you just going to watch me get beaten to death?"

She had just finished cursing when she saw Old Wei walking towards her with a whip in his hand. Terrified, she immediately scrambled to her feet and ran away.

But it was too late.

Old Wei's whip had already struck her back.

Snapped!

"Ahhh!"

Madam Shen screamed and collapsed to the ground.

"First lash." Old Wei then lashed out with the second lash:

"No one is allowed to leave. You all stand here and watch until the execution is over, lest you cause any more trouble."

Snapped!

"Second lash!"
