"You are just a distant relative staying at the Marquis' Mansion. It is not your turn as an outsider to take charge of the affairs of our Marquis' Mansion. If the old lady wants to blame me, I will take it. It has nothing to do with you!"

Liu Yueru said coldly: "Pull her away, and you continue."

The strong old woman stepped forward and pulled Yuan Qinglian away.

The servant continued to beat the remaining boards.

Yuan Qinglian's eyes turned red with heartache.

She knew that the lady would not treat Jin'er as her own child, otherwise she would not be so willing to do so.

When the old lady arrived, Song Shijin's face was pale and he was lying on the bench, dying.

I no longer have the energy to scream.

"Brother Jin!"

Old Madam Song was frightened by the scene.

"Stop it now, Yueru, are you going to stop until someone dies?" Old Madam Song stared at Liu Yueru angrily.

"Quickly call the palace doctor." Old Madam Song hurriedly asked someone to pick up Song Shijin from the bench.

Yuan Qinglian took the opportunity to break free from the restraints of the old woman, knelt on the ground, and said with red eyes: "The old lady just asked me to do something but I didn't do it well. Please punish me."

"Madam said that I am just an outsider who lives in the mansion and has no right to help the old lady pass on messages. Qinglian is just worried that this matter will become a big deal and bring shame to the mansion and make the old lady gossip. Madam is using outsiders to pressure me. The old lady should just send me back to the countryside as soon as possible."

Old Madam Song slammed her cane on the ground and said angrily, "Even if Jin'er is wrong, you don't have to make such a big fuss. You can punish him by making him write or read. There are many ways to do this. You just use family rules right away. He is still a child. How can he bear this? Do you really want to kill him?"

Song Shijin said weakly, "Grandmother, it was Jin'er who came to ask for punishment. Don't blame mother."

Old Madam Song and Yuan Qinglian were both a little surprised.

Why is Jin Ge'er so stupid that he runs to Liu Yueru to ask for punishment?

Song Nanzhi came hurriedly from outside.

Yuan Qinglian's face was full of pride: "Cousin, please take a look at Jin Ge'er. He is seriously injured and bleeding a lot."

"I was the one who asked him to come to Wenhuaxuan to ask for punishment. He should be severely punished just for talking back to my stepmother yesterday, and he also lied to me and my grandmother and disrupted the harmony in the family. As an elder brother, he has not set a good example. He is seven years old this year and is not young anymore. If he is not disciplined well, he may talk back to the powerful in the future, and the consequences will be disastrous." Song Nanzhi explained.

Yuan Qinglian clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Madam Song's eyes, which were once shining brightly, also darkened.

Accompanying study is coming soon.

Old Madam Song also learned about what happened yesterday from the servants, and it was all Jin'er's fault.

The second young master of the Liu family was present throughout the whole process, and yesterday he caught a cold after saving Jin Ge'er from falling into the water.

If it weren't for the sake of her granddaughter-in-law, how could a proud and arrogant man like Liu Zimo look down upon Jin'er?

Liu Yueru sighed softly: "No matter what it is, as long as it involves Jin Ge'er, grandma always blames me for punishing him too severely. After all, I am not the child's biological mother. If I coax him, she will say he is spoiled. If I discipline him, she will say I want the child's life. If I don't love the child, I don't know how I can be a good stepmother."

Old Madam Song was choked with speech.

Every time Yuan Qinglian came to tip off, she would lose her composure and scold Liu Yueru. She was also afraid that Liu Yueru would just give up and do nothing.

She quickly spoke to comfort him: "Jin'er's biological mother is no longer alive. You are his only legitimate mother in this world. I will not ask any more about how to control your Jin'er in the future. How you want to control him is your business."

After saying this, she looked at Song Shijin distressedly and urged, "Take good care of him."

Mother Chen helped Old Madam Song back to Nanxi Hall.
