The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 317 side story (A Feng story)
It was not only the head of the Liu family who was shocked by the fact that Liu shishi had just said. But the other elders are the same. They did not expect that the family members they threw away actually had good luck that could bring the prosperity of the clan.
" Are you really telling the truth? " This time old madam Liu asked.
Liu shishi nodded confidently. His face looked messy because the tears that had not stopped since.
" At last our family succeeded. " A smile splattered on the old woman's wrinkled lips. Eventually his family was able to have status and establish relations with the royal family. Not just jumping on the Hou family.
" Granny, don't be happy just yet. Doesn't Liu ru hate us. Otherwise, he would not have asked Prince Feng to punish the shishi. " Say Liu Mei tried to break the expectations of the Liu family. He did not want Liu ru to return to this family. But he managed to expel the woman. He would not let his efforts end in vain.
As if dropped from the sky, the old madam and the others felt pain as the sudden hope had to be dashed before it developed.
The happy face of old lady Liu returned mellow. " There's nothing more we can do to fix it. " Truly, he regretted having expelled his granddaughter.
Unfortunately the rice has become porridge. Regretting won't change anything either.
So shamelessly. They started thinking about asking Liu ru back. After all they were still one family and as a child, Liu ru still had to be devoted to them.
" Then try to send a letter to Liu Ru. Tell her that all of us in the Liu family are sorry and miss her dearly. Hope that he can visit this residence again. " Please refer old mistress Liu to her first son, Liu mingchen. It was so lost that they were ashamed.
If only Liu Ru had heard what old lady Liu said. He was sure all the feathers will immediately stand up because of goosebumps. How could they be so shameless?
Missed her? the impossible that Liu ru thought would never happen. But now they will use it to force him back.
" Good mom. I was planning to send him a letter. But before that, I have to solve this problem first. " Liu mingchen stared fiercely at his nephew.
Liu shishi shook his head. " No uncle. Please forgive me. Don't punish me. I'm guilty. I promise I won't repeat it again. " Please Liu shishi pathetic.
" Sister, please forgive my daughter. However, it is not entirely wrong. What he said is true. Liu Ru's son is indeed an illegitimate child. Then what's wrong with that? why my daughter has to suffer. " Second son Liu defended his daughter. Fuck prince Feng's son. For him the safety of his daughter is paramount.
" Shut up! again you're talking nonsense. Then I can make sure you won't be able to talk anymore. You better keep your mouth shut. Learn from your daughter so as not to speak. I don't care if only your family is in the law, but don't you ever drag down Liu's entire family. " Sheek Liu mingchen.
Not only was he angry, almost all the elders also cornered him. He began to spit harsh words on both of them. Makes shishi's parents speechless to just stand up for their daughter.
Liu mingchen certainly had no reason to refuse his sister's request. The emperor's verdict is in his hands. The court had given the Liu family the authority to punish Liu shishi himself. So he did not want to take the risk of ignoring the verdict. It was okay to sacrifice one member of their family rather than having to pay with the entire Liu family.
"Stop your cry shishi. You yourself also know, it's a crime to defy the Emperor's orders. Therefore, you better prepare yourself to accept punishment. It would be more painful if the palace did it. You know for yourself how harsh the discipline punishment of the palace is. " After saying then Liu mingchen called out to the two maids.
" Take the third lady into the backyard and slap her 100 times. " His order is a tall middle-aged woman one of the butlers.
Liu Shishi's face changed pias. Imagine how much a slap would hurt. Not to mention the punishment. He was sure that it would ruin his face.
So quickly shishi immediately expressed his rejection. He ran towards his uncle and knelt at his feet.
" No uncle. Please give another punishment. Don't punish that. My face could be ruined if I received that many slaps. " He shook his head violently with his heartbreaking cry.
He would never live again if his face was broken. As a woman, the face is the most important thing. How could he get married in the future if his face turned ugly.
Liu mingchen remained steadfast, and gave the servant instructions to immediately drag Liu shishi.
The punishment was not Liu mingchen who determined. But it was written clearly on the palace grounds.
Shishi screamed and thrashed as he was dragged away forcibly. But no one in his family would help him. Both of his parents could only cry in astonishment at his daughter's current fate.
Even as shishi screams of pain rang out, they chose to close their eyes and ears.
Plakk
" UAHHH! GEEZ! "
Plakk
" UAHHH! "
The sobs and loud moans of Liu shishi were finally slowly inaudible. Only the sound of a palm slap on shishi's cheek remained.
The woman fainted. But it did not stop the punishment process.
His face was swollen as if hundreds of bees had just stung him.
" Mom, I don't want that cheap lady back. I have to think of a way to get him back out. " Liu Mei's whine to her mother.
" Stop yelling. Do you want everyone to know what we're doing? " The great madam Liu growled at Liu Mei.
At first she was a concubine. But after Liu ru's mother who was then a legitimate wife died. Lord Liu made her his legal wife and made her the great mistress of the Liu residence.
Then he whispered. " We'll let Liu ru come back. The moment it arrived, you could tease Prince Feng and become one of his concubines. Only then can we get rid of her, and you can be the prince's only wife. "
Liu Mei was interested in her mother's plans but she remembered the marriage with the Lu family.
"But what about the Lu family? "
" Do you think the Lu family is better than the Sima family? If you can become the concubine of Prince Feng. Not only can you bring glory to the Liu family. But you will also live comfortably with all the luxuries there. "
Liu Mei began to be tempted by the lure of the luxury of living in the palace. So he quickly agreed and forgot his engagement to the Lu family. The engagement was the main reason he got rid of Liu ru.
********
In the palace, though,
Sima Rui is currently playing weiqi with her son, Sima Feng.
" Do you think punishment of that woman is enough? I think that slap will just make him swollen. Not to ruin his face. "
" Of course it won't be enough. It was not comparable to Liu ru's suffering all along. Father take it easy, I have already bribed their healer and sent a fake ointment that will make his face not only not heal but also make it worse. I am sure in the future there will not be a single man from a respectable family who will make him a legitimate wife. "
Without the Liu family knowing, Liu ru and Liu shishi had actually been planned by Sima Feng. He just needed to create an excuse to punish the woman. That was why he asked A Fei to take Liu ru shopping in the capital.
It wasn't difficult for him to find out about the Liu family. Including Liu shishi's plan to go to the capital.
And it worked. Without the need for him to set a complicated trap, the woman made her own problems.
