Accept the punishment
"What's there to discuss? Pian'er made an unintentional mistake tonight, and you don't ask questions, don't give her a chance to justify, you have to use family law when you come up, is there still heavenly reason? You Feng family look at us orphans and widows, it's easy to bully, right? Hurt my daughter one after another! If it weren't for Feng Yuyu's calculating beast, she would have a better life now, why would she be reduced to the point of being a concubine for a sick seedling? Tonight, we will settle the new accounts and the old accounts together, do you think there are many of you, and I am afraid? Joke! Aunt Li's momentum did not decrease, and she raised her hand and pointed the tip of the knife at everyone.
Except for a few family members, all the women present were afraid of the scary knife in Aunt Li's hand, and they didn't dare to act rashly. And Feng Yaojue had already knelt beside Li Pian'er at this time, pleading for Li Pian'er: "Mother, it's just that I burned a few inconsequential houses, and I didn't rush here, for the sake of Pian'er's unintentional mistake, you can spare her this time." ”
"The second brother said lightly, I'm afraid it's too late to get to the ancestral hall when the real disaster hits, right? Is it reasonable not to punish such a thing? I'm sure everyone won't be convinced, right? Zhang shrank in the crowd, afraid of the sharp knife in Aunt Li's hand, and at the same time, he did not forget to fall into the well.
Although the large and small affairs of the Feng family are now handled by the Yang family, they cannot make decisions in major matters, and they still need the old lady Feng to preside over it. And Mrs. Feng has always been strict in governing the family, doing things vigorously and resolutely, and saying nothing else. The order she gave was never withdrawn, and although the two of them tried their best to protect Li Pian'er at this moment, they couldn't shake her determination to serve Li Pian'er with family law.
Aunt Li was still outnumbered in the end, and was robbed of the kitchen knife by several strong men who were called later, and tied her whole person and took her out of the ancestral hall. However, the Feng family was polite to her and did not embarrass her, the Yang family just ordered the family to take her back to the residence, and then locked the door.
In the ancestral hall, the family law has been presented by the subordinates, which is a sturdy long wooden plank. Feng Yaojue knelt there and was still begging bitterly: "Mother, no matter what, Pian'er gave birth to a quality child for me, and it is a merit to the Feng family." You can also leave a little affection on the qualitative side. ”
"Feng Yaojue, you get out of here, you don't have to worry about Miss Ben's affairs! If you want to fight, you can fight quickly, and grind and chirp. After the fight, I can just go back to Qiantang neatly, it's better than waiting to die here. Isn't it just a meal? Miss Ben is still scared. When Miss Ben fights with others, she suffers injuries that you can't imagine. "Li Pian'er doesn't even plan to be here, and will take Aunt Li back to Qiantang by boat tomorrow.
The old lady Feng looked at Li Pian'er's arrogance, the corners of her mouth trembled with anger, and her index finger trembled and pointed at Li Pian'er: "You! It's the other way around! It's all this time, and I still don't know how to repent and dare to talk to me in this tone! What are you two doing in a daze? Don't hurry up yet! ”
"Mother, no, Pian'er has always been delicate, she can't withstand such a punishment, and her injuries haven't healed yet, so it will hurt her life!" Feng Yaojue walked over the law enforcer holding a wooden plank, and in a hurry, he threw himself at Li Pian'er and protected her in his arms.
Li Pian'er was suddenly wrapped in this warm breath, a little overwhelmed, what a familiar breath, she hadn't felt it for more than a month. She thought she had forgotten it and didn't care, but she didn't expect that when that breath came, she was still so greedy.
The Yang family, who was standing next to Mrs. Feng, couldn't bear to see Li Pian'er, a weak woman, being tortured like this, so he pleaded in a timely manner: "Mother, Pian'er is not in good health, this law is really a bit heavy, it is better to punish her to kneel here for an hour, and it can be regarded as giving an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors, what do you think?" ”
"Sister Yang is really kind-hearted, if they are like you, then what rules will there be in the house in the future? Isn't that a mess? Can everyone do whatever they want? Behavior like Li Dajia's must not be tolerated. This time, without Aunt Li's kitchen knife, Zhang directly stood up from the crowd without fear and refuted Yang's words.
Zhang's behavior of falling into the well is really hateful, and the fine hairpin doesn't dare to intervene here, but when he looks at Zhang's eyes, he can't wait to poke two holes in Zhang's body.
Feng Yaojue, who has always been gentle and calm, was also angry when he heard Zhang's words in this emergency. glared at Zhang and shouted, "You shut up for me!" My woman, it's not your turn to take care of it! If you interject any more, I won't even be able to stay in Fengfu! At this time, he just wanted to keep Li Pian'er, just because he felt that he owed her too much. The last time he committed suicide, he still has lingering palpitations.
Zhang never thought that Feng Yaojue would also be angry, but he was really startled by his sudden shouting, and he didn't dare to say a word more. In fact, Feng Yaojue has always been very strange, why would Feng Yujue accept such a woman as a concubine, even if she doesn't know how to read and write, she doesn't even have the basic cultivation of a woman, and some are just a skin bag that can be said to be reasonable.
"What are you still doing? Pull your second official away! On the family law! "Feng Yaojue's request doesn't work here for Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Feng is determined to give Li Pian'er a little hardship this time.
Feng Yaojue hugged Li Pian'er and didn't let go, but in the end, he was forced to open by the two family members. The moment Li Pian'er left his embrace, her body shook unconsciously, and finally fell to the ground, and her hands were firmly tied behind her with ropes, and she couldn't move at all when she fell to the ground.
At this time, except for Feng Yaojue's shout, everyone else was silent. The person who enforces the family law is merciless, and the heavy board falls on Li Pian'er and hurts. Her face was twisted in pain, tears watering down the floor, but she refused to make a sound.
The fine hairpin on the side couldn't bear to see this scene, so he covered his eyes with his hands in desperation, and didn't look over. Seeing Li Pian'er being punished, but she was powerless to save her, her heart was quite uncomfortable.
Feng Yaojue, who was bound by his arms, was still struggling to break free, and in an emergency, he seemed to have an extra strength in his body, and finally broke free of the restraints and pounced on Li Pian'er: "If you want to fight, just beat me, I can't lose her!" Pian'er, don't be afraid, I'm here. ”
Li Pian'er was wondering why it didn't hurt all of a sudden, and a figure was already covering her, with comforting words and warmth in her heart.
Everyone was stunned, no one expected that Feng Yaojue would ignore his frail body and defend Li Pian'er like this.
The man with the board stopped his hand and looked at the old lady with embarrassed eyes. Just now, Feng Yaojue had already taken a board for Li Pian'er, and his body was already a little unbearable, if he continued to fight, the consequences would be unimaginable, and that person would not dare to make his own decisions.
"Feng Yaojue, I don't want your pity, it doesn't matter to you whether I live or die, you go away for me!" Li Pian'er tried to squint her eyes to see Feng Yaojue, her body was hit by two boards, and now she was so painful that she couldn't even lift her strength to speak.
Feng Yaojue endured the pain caused by the board on his back, moved his body, and protected Li Pian'er more tightly: "It's not pity, it's responsibility, it's love." Mother, the mistake made by Pian'er is equivalent to the mistake I made, I will not let go, since you refuse to let her go, then I will accept the punishment for her. ”
"Go on! This unfilial son dares to openly disobey me for the sake of a mere concubine, then it will be as he wishes. "Mrs. Feng did not give in because of her precious son's obstruction, she always did things.
No one dared to disobey the order given by the old lady Feng, and the person who carried out the family law looked around in confusion for a week, and in desperation, he had to move his hand again. It's just that that person has some flesh after all, and the strength of his hand has been reduced by half, so if it falls on Feng Yaojue, it won't kill him.
Regardless of whether it was the subordinate or the master, they were all clear-eyed people, and they naturally saw the person's self-asserted behavior, but they didn't open their mouths to pierce it, tacitly. That Zhang wanted to speak, but he was afraid that he would really be driven out of the house by Feng Yaojue afterwards, which would be too bad.
Old Lady Feng was such a shrewd person, and how could she not see the trickiness in that person's hands, but she seemed to be very satisfied with what the man did. For the sake of the strict order and system in the house, she can't calm things down in this matter, but she is not a cold-blooded person, and she can't do both, so she can only take the heavier.
Feng Yaojue gritted his teeth and survived the seventeen boards under the gaze of everyone, plus the previous board, he took over the eighteen boards for Li Pian'er, and Li Pian'er only suffered twice.
These eighteen boards made Feng Yaojue lose a little strength, as if the bones in his body were loose, it was an indescribable discomfort. He was still protecting Li Pian'er, but he was paralyzed there, his breathing became weak, and Li Pian'er was under him, her body was tied and couldn't move, but she couldn't cry, her heart was full of self-blame and emotion, and the anger towards Feng Yaojue for days disappeared at this moment.
After the beating, the old lady Feng stood up with the help of two maids, pointed at the two people on the ground who could no longer move with the crutches in her hand, and said, "Carry them back, don't get in the way of the ancestors' eyes here, spare the purity." ”
After the old lady Feng left, the people in the other rooms also dispersed one after another. In the brightly lit ancestral hall, only the subordinates who cleaned up the mess and the little servants who served Feng Yaojue on weekdays, as well as the fine hairpin. A few servants helped the weak Feng Yaojue up from the ground, and the fine hairpin untied the rope on Li Pian'er's body, so that Li Pian'er was free.
"Xianggong, how are you? It's all my fault, it's me who hurt you, woo woo ......" Li Pian'er cried and walked in front of Feng Yaojue, looking at his pale face, she cried even more.
Feng Yaojue half-drooped his tired eyelids, smiled with relief, and shook his head: "I'm fine." Ken called me a husband, and it seems that he is angry. If this beating can be exchanged for your forgiveness, I don't mind taking a few more hits. ”
