Chapter 167 - Shi Le’s Cruelty! (1/2)

Chapter 167: s.h.i.+ Le’s Cruelty!

Without waiting for s.h.i.+ Nuannuan to open her mouth again, Tangteng Xi turned her head toward s.h.i.+ Le and said, “Grandfather s.h.i.+, she’s just a normal a.s.sistant that seduced Ting, and now she’s disguised as a maid. But I figured it out, so I hope you’ll do me justice and chase her out.”

Her words stunned both s.h.i.+ Nuannuan and Shen Lanzhi.

Especially Shen Lanzhi. She never thought that Tangteng Xi would say this in front of so many people. Aside from tarnis.h.i.+ng the name of the s.h.i.+ family, she also wanted Zuo Weiyi’s death!

Upon hearing her words, s.h.i.+ Le frowned harder as he looked sharply at Zuo Weiyi’s face.

“Xi’er, stop being preposterous!” Tangteng Li scolded as he heard his granddaughter’s disrespectful claims.

He knew about his granddaughter’s bad temperament well enough. If anything did not go the way she liked, she could not tolerate it. Now that this situation was related to her happiness, she naturally wanted this woman to be gone.

However, the truth behind her words was yet to be revealed.

s.h.i.+ Le threw a glance at Zuo Weiyi and his gaze landed upon Xiang Yi.

“Is that the truth?” His voice was low, no warmth could be detected in his expression.

Even if it was Xiang Yi, he feared for s.h.i.+ Le too.

Confronting his questioning, Xiang Yi did not know what to answer.

Alas, to protect Zuo Weiyi, he chose to hide the truth. “I’m afraid I do not know about the Master’s personal life that well.”

He bowed his head. Before s.h.i.+ Yuting woke up, he could not say anything in such a reckless manner.

Though his words sounded true, the punishment still came for him.

“You should know that your only responsibility is not protecting your master.” s.h.i.+ Le looked at Xiang Yi and said, his tone was cold.

Xiang Yi lifted his eyes and met s.h.i.+ Le’s sharp glare. He slowly nodded. “I am willing to receive my punishment.”

“Drag him out! Twenty whips to his body!” s.h.i.+ Le commanded mercilessly.

Zhong Chenghao could not help but speak up.

“Mister Speaker! Xiang Yi was badly injured, his body can’t withstand twenty whips!”
