After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 9 Punishment
After that, Mrs. Xie had nothing to say. Since both mother and son had said so, if she objected, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the family? Who would respect her in the future?
"In that case, let's do as my daughter-in-law wishes."
"Wait, mother." Yun Zhihan was not overwhelmed by happiness. "There is still one thing that has not been resolved. Please ask mother to seek justice for your daughter-in-law."
"Hmm?" Old Madam Xie had a bad feeling.
"Just now, my brother and sister-in-law said that my daughter-in-law was unfaithful to her husband and brought disgrace to the family. They also accused her of not educating her children well." As she spoke, Yun Zhihan's tears fell.
"But mother knows that the Marquis has been dead for more than eight years. I have been a widow for eight years and have raised three children for the Marquis's mansion. I don't know what has brought disgrace upon the family."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she knew that this was a time to settle scores. She glared at Mr. and Mrs. Xie Songqiao.
The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Yun Zhihan.
After a moment of silence, Xie Songqiao said, "Sister-in-law, I just spoke out of turn. Please forgive me."
This stinky woman, relying on her son who won the third place in the imperial examination, is showing off in front of her. Tonight, she must make her suffer no matter what, otherwise, she will almost forget her family name.
Yuan also responded quickly, "Sister-in-law, it was all my fault just now. You are a magnanimous person, please don't bother with us."
Yun Zhihan! You are waiting for me. I am in charge of the mansion now. You will have a hard time in the future.
The system will relay the malice it feels to the host again.
After hearing this, Yun Zhihan's eyes became even colder. She ignored the two's apologies and looked at Mrs. Xie.
"Mother, I am a woman, so of course I don't care. But I am the Marquis's legal wife, and his only wife."
"It doesn't matter if my reputation is tarnished, but if the news gets to the servants, I'm afraid they will only criticize me and say that the Marquis's Mansion has no family rules and that the Marquis is gone and there is no one to manage the Mansion."
Xie Songqiao: This damn woman!
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could pin her to the ground and ravage her severely.
Yuan: What does Yun Zhihan want to do? Is it necessary to make such a small matter known to everyone in the mansion?
Xie Boyuan, who was standing aside, understood that it was his mother who was putting pressure on his grandmother, and as a son, he had to lend her a helping hand.
"Grandma! I think what mother said is very true. Since ancient times, a country has its own laws and a family has its own rules. If you can't even clean your own house, how can you clean up the world?"
"Just now, my mother handed over the power of household affairs and punished herself with house arrest for a month, setting an example for her grandson. And since my uncle and aunt made a mistake, they must also take responsibility."
Old Madam Xie remained silent. She had thought that the matter could be resolved, but she did not expect that Bai Yuan would continue to pursue the matter.
This is the root of the Marquis's Mansion. If he is not educated well, the Marquis will definitely blame me.
"I know it well. Since Yuan'er said so, daughter-in-law, what do you say we should do?"
A smile appeared on Yun Zhihan's face, but it was only a fleeting smile and did not attract anyone's attention.
"Yuan'er, you are the eldest son of the Marquis. What do you think we should do if something like this happens?"
Xie Boyuan: "Mother, according to the Xie family rules, those who spread rumors shall be punished with 20 strokes of the cane, and those who instigate others shall be beaten to death on the spot."
"No!" Yuan couldn't sit still anymore. If she really did what he said, she would be the first one to die.
Yun Zhihan taunted, "Sister-in-law is so angry, this matter may have something to do with you, right?"
"Nonsense!" Yuan was panicking and speaking incoherently, "Yun Zhihan, stop accusing me."
"If it has nothing to do with my sister-in-law, then why are you so nervous? Even if you are not a seducer, you are still a rumor chaser, and you will not escape punishment."
Xie Songqiao was also panicking. Although he was not welcomed in the Marquis's Mansion, he had never been beaten. Besides, he was already over 40 years old. How could he withstand 20 strokes of the cane?
"Mother, I think what Bai Yuan said is exaggerated. Although the Xie family has family rules, they have never been truly used. If the servants knew about it, they would be very scared."
Old Madam Xie was hesitant. She didn't understand why she had to deal with such matters at such an old age?
At this moment, Xie Bochen also walked in. In fact, he had been eavesdropping outside for a long time.
"The grandson pays his respects to grandmother, mother, and brother." He also skipped Xie Songqiao and his wife.
Madam Xie: "Get up, why are you so polite today?"
Under normal circumstances, Xie Bochen would not observe any etiquette at all, so how could he be so respectful when performing greetings?
"Grandmother, I just heard the servants gossiping behind my mother's back, saying that she is not content with her position and is not worthy of being the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. I am very angry."
"Others can insult me, but they can't insult my mother. Besides, before I came in, I heard from my uncle that the Xie family has never used family rules. I have my doubts about this."
"Oh?" Mrs. Xie asked, "Please tell me in detail."
"Last time, I came back from going out late at night and was caught by my uncle. He beat me with ten boards based on the Xie family rules. My wounds have not healed yet."
"If grandma doesn't believe me, Chen'er is willing to examine the injuries on the spot to expose uncle's lies."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present was shocked.
Yun Zhihan suddenly felt heartbroken. What on earth had this child been through?
Madam Xie glared at Xie Songqiao, "Is this true?"
Although she didn't like this third grandson, he was her son's son after all. Although he had a bad temper, he had never done anything harmful to others. Even if she wanted to beat him, she couldn't let him do it.
Xie Songqiao was sweating profusely, lowered his head and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.
Yun Zhihan stepped forward to help, saying that she was the legal wife of the Xie family, so how could she allow a concubine's son to bully her?
"Mother! Did you hear me? If this matter is not severely punished, where is the dignity of our mansion?"
Xie Boyuan: "Grandma, I think you should be upright and impartial, punish all the crimes together, and re-establish rules for the entire Marquisate."
"Okay, let's do as Yuan'er said."
Old Madam Xie actually didn't like Xie Songqiao either, but Xie Songlin passed away early, and he took good care of her, so she just turned a blind eye to some things. Who would have thought that this man would become so rampant that he even dared to beat the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion?
"Mother is wise!" Yun Zhihan looked at Xie Songqiao with contempt, and then said to her eldest son, "Yuan'er, tell the servants to prepare."
"I'll go right away, son." After saying that, he turned and left.
At this time, Xie Bochen took the initiative to ask, "Grandma, mother, can I be the one to carry out the execution?"
He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. All along, this uncle has treated him coldly and even beat him up. Today, he must take revenge.
Yun Zhihan didn't hesitate for a moment, "Of course, I believe your grandmother thinks so too."
