Xie Lin was silent for a moment. Did the emperor want to take action against his Xie family?

No, if he were the emperor, he would not touch the Chu carriages, which were too important to the northern border. If the Chu carriages were gone, Changqing City would be trampled, which would do nothing but harm to Daqi.

There are many soldiers, but it is hard to find good generals!

If not the emperor, then who was it?

The prince vying for the throne?

After taking over the Chu family's military power, he needed money to support the army, so he plundered the Xie family's resources...

A hint of coldness flashed in Xie Lin's eyes.

Why does that person think that the soldiers raised by plundering the Xie family’s resources can defend the northern border for him?

If the northern border is breached, Daqi will gradually lose cities and its national strength will weaken...

Xie Lin took a step back and said, "Not all the Xie family members are dead."

At least he is still alive, who can plunder the Xie family from him?

Chu Heyi suddenly asked: "How are you feeling lately?"

Xie Lin raised his eyes from the chessboard and looked at her.

He was born with a weak constitution and had been taking medicine since he was a child, but he was fine. He could not practice martial arts or archery like normal men. He was prone to coughing in winter, as if there was air leaking from his throat and the wind was blowing directly into his heart and lungs, making him extremely uncomfortable. Apart from that, he had no other discomfort.

He eats and sleeps normally, just like a normal person.

However, there is no need to say these words to the girl in front of you, as they are not familiar with each other.

Chu Heyi also put his cannon back and just looked at the chessboard: "If you have no problem eating and sleeping, with your intelligence, you can certainly avoid the crisis of the Chu family. But what if you fall asleep one day?"

After saying that, he raised his eyes and met Xie Lin's gaze.

"It's okay to be unconscious for a day or two, but what if you are unconscious for eight or ten days, or even a month? When you wake up, the weather will be different. How can you prevent it?"

Chu Heyi said: "Your eldest nephew has hatred in his heart, and he has become a knife for others to deal with my Xie family. If you fall asleep one day, with his brain, he will definitely become the hole for others to tear the Xie family apart."

Xie Lin was silent for a long time, just playing chess quietly, until his courageous rook was eaten by Chu Heyi's cannon.

Xie Lin was cold and expressionless, and he suddenly asked her, "So, what is your third request?"

Chu Heyi said: "Xie Shaobai seriously injured my eldest brother, causing him to be in danger of death and may even lose his legs. I want you to beat him with a hundred lashes. Whether he lives or dies depends on his luck!"

Her words were very serious.

Xie Lin did not answer, but picked up a chess piece and placed it down: "You are in check."

Chu Heyi looked at him, raised a faint smile, overturned the chessboard, and the chess pieces fell all over the ground, and a few even rolled onto Xie Lin's robe.

"As the head of the family, you are unwilling to discipline your nephew. I don't mind helping you do it!" Chu Heyi stood up.

Xie Lin raised his eyes and looked at her from bottom to top, seeing her delicate chin and her eyes that were gleaming with flames.

He picked up the chess pieces on his robe, put them away, stood up leisurely, and said coldly, "Tie up Xie Shaobai and give him a hundred lashes."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Chu Heyi and walked out.

Chu Heyi looked at his back as he left and frowned. He behaved like that, which showed that he was angry.

Although he accepted her statement, he was still angry that she was too aggressive. After all, his eldest brother had passed away, and Xie Shaobai was his eldest nephew.

However, Chu Heyi did not regret his decision.

Xie Shaobai is a playboy. If Xie Lin doesn't punish him today, the Xie family will suffer because of him tomorrow!

Xie Lin should know that Xie Shaobai could be the knife that seriously hurts the Chu family. If he doesn't punish him severely today, someone else will come in through Xie Shaobai's hole in the future and tear the Xie family to pieces.

Chu Heyi guessed that it was because Xie Lin realized this that he agreed to her request and ordered Xie Shaobai to be whipped a hundred times.

As for why Xie Lin was in a coma for more than a month in his previous life, causing the Xie family to suffer a disaster... Chu Heyi really didn't understand. Looking at Xie Lin's current body, although he was weak, it didn't seem like he would be in a coma for more than a month.

"Third brother, what are you doing? Shaobai is already seriously injured. If you whip him another hundred times, he will die!" Xie Zhun stood in front of Xie Lin.

Xie Lin stopped and looked down at his second brother: "The emperor never blamed General Chu for my eldest brother's death. My parents only ordered us to have no contact with the Chu family and never asked us to seek revenge on them.

"But Shaobai disobeyed the family teachings and acted on his own to seek revenge on Chuyi. If I don't punish him severely, won't he go beyond me as the head of the family tomorrow? Moreover, he deliberately murdered a great general of Daqi. If the emperor imposes a punishment on him tomorrow, I'm afraid his life will be in danger."

Xie Zhun was about to say something, but Xie Linqing's cold eyes swept over him again, interrupting him: "If you really feel bad for him, you can share some of the beatings for him."

Xie Zhun's body shook violently, and he became completely quiet.

The punishment for Xie Shaobai had been determined, so Baihua released him and handed him over to the Xie family guards. Xie Shaobai was tied up under a century-old maple tree in the yard.

"Uncle San, I don't understand! The person who was killed was my father, and he was also your eldest brother. Why is it wrong for me to seek revenge?" Xie Shaobai asked with anger and red eyes.

"Are you doing this to my father?"

Xie Lin's face was calm, he just looked at Wangshan and said, "You come and fight."

Wangshan held the horsewhip in his hand, bent down and bowed in response.

Seeing that he was serious, Xie Shaobai was completely panicked and begged for mercy: "Uncle San, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again. I can go to the Chu family and kneel down to apologize. Please don't hit me..."

Xie Lin frowned. If this nephew was like what he had just done, and still remained proud even after being punished, he would look up to him.

As a result, he began to beg for mercy before the whip even hit him.

His Xie family actually has such a coward, so stupid that he is being used as a knife without knowing it, and now he has no backbone at all.

No wonder the girl from the Chu family thought that he was the biggest vulnerability of the Xie family and that the entire Xie family could be torn apart through him. After all, he was the eldest grandson of the Xie family!

Xie Lin said no more and stepped back, leaving the venue to Wangshan.

Wangshan had followed Xie Lin since he was a child. He knew that Xie Shaobai's behavior of begging for mercy after failing to scold him had angered the Third Master, so he raised his whip and beat Xie Shaobai without mercy.

Under the burning pain, Xie Shaobai could no longer utter a harsh word and could only howl for mercy.

Seeing that Xie Lin's expression did not change at all, he turned to ask Chu Heyi for help.

"Your elder brother is not dead yet, is he? I am willing to pay for his medical treatment. Miss Chu, please let me go. I am willing to kowtow to you..."

Chu Heyi stood beside Xie Lin, looking at Xie Shaobai's face covered with snot and tears, and he was equally ruthless.

In this life, she was reborn and saved her eldest brother, but in her previous life, her eldest brother and future sister-in-law were badly harmed by him.

Similarly, the Xie family was destroyed by this eldest grandson...

He deserved the beating, and compared to what he had done, it was too light a beating for him.

How could Chu Heyi be soft-hearted!

Before the hundred lashes were over, Xie Shaobai had already fainted from the pain. Wangshan looked at Xie Lin: "Third Master?"

Xie Lin looked at Chu Heyi: "Are you satisfied?"
