After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

Zhou Fei was young, kind and innocent, and said softly, "Mother, my cousin is weak. Can you get up after falling into the water?"

Zhou Fei didn't believe that the elder sister would push the cousin into the water.

Because the elder sister went back to the He family today, how come they just got home on the corridor, so she pushed the cousin away.

"Fei'er has asked the doctor about what I'm thinking about. My cousin is fine except that she's a little weak and pale."

"When Mother Qin left, she also brought a sedan chair with her. I don't think it would be unfair to my cousin."

"Some things can only be dealt with after my cousin comes."

"After all, these slaves and maids always try to pick on you, and you always have to explain yourself." Today's events made He Shi more determined to send Lin Su'er back to Hequan.

She has sent people to Hequan, waiting for the people from Hequan to pick her up.

"Ah? This... involves my cousin's story?" Zhou Fei was stunned. This... isn't my cousin gentle and considerate, the kindest person?

"There's no rush for this! You'll know when your cousin comes." He didn't say much, but she kept calling her 'cousin', not at all as friendly as before.

Everyone present understood that this time the cousin had crossed the lady's bottom line.

Yes! Children are always a mother’s bottom line.

......

......

Three quarters of an hour later, Lin Suer finally arrived at the front yard.

She knelt down and saluted, with a somewhat weak smile on her pale face, and said weakly: "Hello, aunt, and all the aunts."

"Get up! Find a place to sit down. I called you here today because you fell into the water." There was a smile on He's face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"Fall into the water? Aunt, this incident has nothing to do with my cousin. It was my own fault for not standing firmly. Cough cough cough!" After saying that, Lin Su'er started coughing violently again, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

"Someone, serve tea to the cousin to calm her down." He ordered, her face full of concern and worry.

The maid brought up some tea, and Lin Suer felt much better after drinking it.

Lin Suer put down the teacup and said gently, "Thank you for your concern, aunt."

"Since you're here, let's get started!" There was a chill in He's eyes when she said this.

"Bring the people up here!" As soon as Mother Qin finished speaking, four people were tied up and brought up here with rags stuffed in their mouths.

Panic, fear, and pleading for mercy appeared on their faces.

"Take the cloth off your mouth." The fate of the four people was already determined, they could only be sold.

After removing the rag, the four men begged for mercy.

"Madam, spare my life!"

"Madam, I was wrong! Please don't sell us out."

"Madam, I did not leave my post without permission, nor did I neglect my duty. This is all what my cousin said. She said that she saw that I and others were tired, so she asked me to go down and rest."

"Cousin, can you please speak up for us? I don't want to be sold." The four of them turned to beg Lin Su'er, crying sadly and pitifully.

Lin Suer, who was originally pale, looked even paler.

She stood up, coughed twice, and looked at the four people with a look of pity.

"Aunt, it was Su'er who asked them to go down and rest."

"If my aunt wants to punish them, Su'er is willing to take the punishment on their behalf." As she said this, Lin Su'er knelt down.

She lowered her eyes weakly, her voice low and gentle.

Her body was shaky and she looked like she was about to faint at any moment.

He looked at the weak and boneless Lin Su'er with disgust in her eyes.

Aunt Gao looked at the weak Lin Su'er, her eyes were as soft as water, the corners of her lips were raised, and she said gently and considerately: "My cousin is really kind and willing to take the punishment for them. However, my cousin's behavior makes Madam embarrassed."

Lin Suer didn't expect Aunt Gao to say this. She looked up at her cousin's mother, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Su'er, my aunt knows that you have a kind heart."

"But there are no rules in this mansion."

"I guess you won't make things difficult for your aunt, right?" He's gaze fell on Lin Suer's face. Her eyes were so sharp that Lin Suer couldn't avoid them.

"Yes!" Lin Su'er didn't dare to plead anymore, because if she continued, it would be bad for her.

At this time, she blamed her cousin in her heart for not coming to the rescue in time.

"The four of you deserted your post, and as a result, you were unable to rescue your cousin immediately after she fell into the water."

"This kind of sneaky and cunning servant, I dare not use him."

"Therefore, this lady will punish you with twenty strokes of the cane."

"If she's dead, throw her into a mass grave. If she's still alive, sell her to a matchmaker." He made the decision directly, without wasting any more words with Lin Suer.

The four of them begged for mercy, their cries echoing throughout the front hall.

"What are you standing there for? Shut your mouths, don't scare the master." After Mother Qin spoke, someone shut their mouths.

Then he was taken outside the front hall and tied to a bench.

The servant began to beat him with a stick, and Mother Qin said sternly, "Everyone, stand in the yard and watch. Remember today's scene. Don't neglect your duties or leave your post without permission in the future."

He sat in the main seat, and the sound of "slapping" of a cane rang in her ears.

"What happened today is also a warning to everyone here. Don't harm yourself or others because of your kindness." When He said this, she also glanced at Lin Suer.

Lin Suer lowered her head, making it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes.

The 'pa pa' sound seemed to be hitting everyone's heart, making their hearts tremble.

......

......

After dealing with this matter, He asked everyone to leave first, leaving only Lin Suer.

"Cousin aunt." Lin Su'er called out timidly, with grievance in her eyes and tears about to fall.

"Su'er, you and I both know that you fell into the water."

"This kind of thing can only happen once."

"If it happens again, I won't let you go." After saying this, He left the front hall directly.

Lin Su'er didn't say anything, she just stood there.

Mulan looked at the girl cautiously, she didn't dare to go forward.

The girl now exuded a huge amount of resentment, which made her feel scared.

"Let's go!" Lin Su'er took a step forward and walked out. The current situation was too unfavorable for her.

She must win back her cousin's heart and make him stand by her unconditionally.

In this way, she can be invincible.

Back in Qingyuan Courtyard, she sat on a stool and gently fiddled with the tea leaves in the teacup.

Wangchun was crawling on the ground, tears in his eyes and his body trembling.

"Why are you shaking? Will I eat you?" Lin Su'er's face was calm and her tone was gentle, but it made Wangchun even more scared.

"No...no." Wangchun knelt straight but did not dare to raise his head.

Lin Suer gently put down the tea lid, looked at Wangchun, and said calmly: "My cousin is the prince, and it is common for him to be busy with affairs. But the humiliation today must be returned to the wife of the Duke of Heng."

Her hands clenched and hatred appeared in her eyes.
