Chapter 333: Chapter 333: If the Taoist Friend Dies, the Poor Taoist Does Not Die_l
Madam Yun knelt on the ground, tearfully pleading.
Since their marriage, this was the first time that Madam Yun had begged Wei Mingting like this.
Wei Mingting closed his eyes in grief.
While he was considering, the rattan rod in Nanny Zhang’s hand didn’t stop.
Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty…
When the strikes reached twenty, Wei Mingting finally spoke: “As you wish, give her a chance to change.”
Hearing this, Madam Yun rushed to stop it: “Stop, stop! Don’t hit her anymore!”
Nanny Zhang also timely ceased.
At this point, Wei Qingwan had taken exactly twenty lashes. Her back was bloody, and from the torn cloth, one could clearly see the streaks of blood on her originally fair skin.
Madam Yun rushed over and hugged Wei Qingwan, her Wanwan, who had never been injured so seriously since childhood.
Watching this scene, Wei Yichen rose emotionlessly: “Father, Mother, I will leave first to take a rest.”
Wei Mingting nodded.
Wei Yichen then left, not revealing any emotions from the beginning to the end.
“I will also take my leave.”
Wei Ruo asked to leave without planning to stay long. The drama had already reached its climax and nothing more interesting was going to happen.
Wei Mingting did not keep Wei Ruo either.
Not only their children but also Wei Mingting felt extremely tired. What had happened at home was more exhausting than fighting enemies on the battlefield.
Once Wei Ruo returned to Tingsong Garden, she instructed Xiumei: “Meimei, you will come out with me later to spread some rumors outside at a cost, letting everyone know about the scandal of the second Miss Wei secretly meeting a man before her marriage.”
“Miss, why do you suddenly want to spread the scandal of the second Miss?” Xiumei asked.
“Because Wei Qingwan and I are both Misses of the Wei family. After her reputation is ruined, my reputation as her sister will also be affected, influencing my future marriage prospects. Why should I spoil my own reputation when tarnishing hers can achieve the same result?” Wei Ruo said.
If one way can save oneself instead of the other, why not take the one that is advantageous? Wei Qingwan gave her this opportunity; not taking advantage of it would be wasteful!
Originally, she had made up her mind to taint her reputation in the relief efforts following the disaster, thereby blocking her romantic advances. Now it seemed unnecessary.
“That’s really good! Just do it!”
Xiumei was very happy. She had been worrying about her Miss damaging her reputation, which would make her the subject of gossip in everyone’s leisure time.
Wei Ruo did not know at this point that someone had already done exactly what she was planning to do, even one step earlier.

On his way back, Wei Yichen ran into Wei Yilin, who was rushing to Cangyun Garden, and he stopped him.
“Elder brother, I heard that Sister Wanwan was punished and beaten! Is it true?”
Wei Yilin had gone back to his room early in the morning and slept till now. Just when he got a little hungry and went to eat something, he heard about Wei Qingwan being beaten. Worried, he immediately rushed towards Cangyun Garden without finishing his food.
“It is true.” Wei Yichen answered, his face calm.
“Ah? Brother, don’t stop me, I want to go find Sister Wanwan! I can’t let anyone beat Sister Wanwan!” Wei Yilin said anxiously.
