As if she heard something fearful, Mrs. Fang suddenly stood up from her seat, as if bouncing up.

"She dares!"

Seeing that the women and maids around her were all frightened, Mrs. Fang realized that she had overreacted, as if she was afraid of the little hooves, so she sat back down again.

"That little hooves dares to risk the disapproval of the world and do something treasonous and unethical. It is against the will of God. Then don't blame me and the master for breaking our relationship and sending her to the Holy Religion and Heavenly Punishment Division!"

After the words fell, there was silence all around.

On weekdays, when it comes to the Holy Religion, all the people of Dongrong worship and submit with reverence.

But the Heavenly Punishment Department of the Holy Religion is not a place that everyone yearns for. This is the place where the Holy Religion punishes those who violate the teachings.

Anyone who is caught will be scolded by the people of Dongrong, and will be subjected to one hundred and eighty kinds of punishments and education. If he can survive, the Holy Church will give him a chance to change his ways. If you can't resist, it will be a dead end.

But since the establishment of the Heavenly Punishment Department, in the past hundred years, no one who has been punished has come out alive.

The previous Holy Son who violated the decree was afraid of being imprisoned by the Heavenly Punishment Department, so he fled because of his crime. However, I heard that he was killed on the spot where he was caught.

Although everyone died, the people of Dongrong still cursed him when he mentioned it, saying that he died too easily and that he should be sent to the Heavenly Punishment Department.

On this day, the Punishment Division not only punishes nobles, but also civilians. If they make a serious mistake that violates the religious decree, they may also be caught and punished.

And being unfilial is naturally a violation of religious orders.

The surrounding servants looked at each other in confusion, not daring to express their anger, for fear that someone would accidentally leak even a hint of their presence and offend the madam.

An evil slave betrays his master, which is also one of the situations in which the decrees and punishments are imposed.

After a while, Mother Liang stepped forward and continued: "Madam is right, after all, the eldest lady is too difficult to teach. Even if she is sent in, it is because the eldest lady has no respect for the Holy God in her heart and commits the crime. It is the grave sin of unfilial piety that brings the punishment upon oneself.”

Other servants around him quickly agreed.

Fang was very satisfied with the reactions of the people around her. From these people's faces, she seemed to see the reaction that Shen Nannan would have.

That's how an unpopular daughter of hers should react!

Mrs. Fang casually threw the torn handkerchief on the table and said coldly: "Today, the eldest lady went out without permission. Mother Liang, when she comes back, you will send an order to ban the eldest lady in Wutong Garden for a month and not to go out!" "

"Madam..." There was a crack in Mother Liang's flattering expression just now.

Let her go to the eldest lady to deliver the order?

When she saw the beaten boy just now, she gasped. The whip was really hard!

She now understands that the eldest lady has no taboos about hitting whomever she sees with her whip. Her old face is not enough for her to give her a whip!

"Why, now even you want to go against it!" Fang was furious, and her tone immediately turned cold.

Mother Liang was so frightened that she quickly put away the reluctance on her face: "No, no, how dare I, madam, I will go when the eldest lady comes back."

Only then did Fang regain her dignity as a housekeeper and nodded proudly.

In front of the Bai family's small dilapidated house, Mrs. Shi's face showed a hint of discomfort.

She was so happy just now that she forgot that although her home was cleaned every day, compared to the Shen family, it was really embarrassing. She didn't know if Nan Nan would dislike it...

"Aunt, uncle and cousin are all at home, right? I can't wait to see them." Su Youyue smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi's tense face relaxed, she relaxed a little, and she quickly opened the door: "Yes, they are all at home... They have not been in good health in the past few years, and they don't go out much to see the wind."

"What disease did my uncle and cousin contract? What kind of medicine do they usually take?"

When others asked about her illness, they all made circumstantial remarks, but Su Youyue asked directly, but her gentle tone did not make Mrs. Shi feel inappropriate. Instead, she felt that she was caring about her husband and son, so she answered.

"It's asthma. Your uncle has had it for seven or eight years. My cousin only started it four years ago... I don't know if your uncle got rid of the disease..."

What she said was similar to the news that the secret guards brought to Su Youyue. She speculated that it was the chronic bronchitis in asthma that her mother had told her.

"Asthma is not contagious. Otherwise, why would my aunt be fine even if she gets along with them every day? My cousin must have other causes. I learned some medical skills at Jiuyuan Pass, and I will show them to my uncle and cousin later."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi was overjoyed: "Nan Nan, you also have medical skills, that's great..."

If possible, she wouldn't want to ask a doctor to visit her husband and son several times, but she is really short of money. The money spent on medicines over the years is a huge expense for the family, and there is no extra money to pay for frequent doctor visits.

Just as he was talking, coughing could be heard in the room, and a man's weak but somewhat joyful voice said: "Madam, you are back? Who else is here? Is it Nannan?"

"Mom, is my cousin really here?" Another boy also asked in surprise.

Madam Shi glanced at Su Youyue, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy, and she quickly responded: "Coming, coming."

As soon as she entered the room, Su Youyue saw two scorching eyes looking at her. One was a middle-aged man who was sitting next to the big bed and getting up. The man's face showed a gray and sickly look, and his figure was thin. This After a while, I stood up on the bed and wanted to come over to greet him.

The other was a young man who got up from the crib next to him. He was handsome, but his complexion had become very pale due to long-term illness. He had no muscles that a young man should have, and he was as skinny as a malnourished sapling.

"Nannan..."

"cousin……"

The two stood up and hurriedly greeted Su Youyue.

Mrs. Shi knew that her husband and son wanted to behave decently in front of Nan Nan, so she stepped forward and helped them sit down at the table.

But when the two of them sat down, Mrs. Shi discovered in embarrassment that there were only two stools in the room.

After all, Bai Rui has even eaten by the bed these years, and she has never had visitors at home, so she had never thought of buying two more stools before.

"Nannan, wait a minute, I'll bring you a stool. It really makes you laugh..."

Su Youyue noticed her embarrassment, waved her hand, and asked Zheying to move the two spare stools from the carriage.

At this point, why don't you ask Mrs. Shi to go outside and borrow a stool?

Although they were just two stools for stepping on, they were much better than the two gray old wooden stools in the house. Bai Rui felt ashamed for a moment.

Twenty years ago, he would never have imagined that one day, when his niece came to his home for the first time, she would even have to bring the stool to sit on.

Su Youyue's face was always calm and composed, and she didn't seem to take these trivial matters to her heart at all. She explained softly: "I have had a lot of rashes on my face in the past two days, so I put on a veil to cover my face first to avoid seeing them. The wind is worse.”

Somehow, hearing her talk about this, the Bai family forgot about their embarrassment unknowingly. Bai Rui immediately asked with concern: "Is it serious, Nan Nan?"
