After a while, the sound of Ling's mother screaming came from outside.

Sima Guansheng was so anxious that he scratched his heart and lungs, and he really had the urge to rush out and take the board for Ling's mother. Anxious and sad, he jumped on his face, with an expression of wanting to cry without tears.

"Father, for more than ten years, Mother Ling has been raising Guan Sheng with all her heart, and there is no credit and hard work. You just read it for the sake of her raising Guan Sheng, forgive her for her little mistake this time, okay? Father! Guan Sheng, please. Guan Sheng promised that he would never dance again in the future, and begged his father to forgive Ling's mother, Guan Sheng begged you. ”

In this Sima Mansion, Mother Ling, who is like a biological mother, is Sima Guansheng's most fatal weakness. Seeing that Ling's mother was implicated because of herself, her heart was like a knife.

No matter how hard Sima Guansheng pleaded, Sima Qu turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye.

The room full of maids and maids was as if they were watching a play, and no one showed the slightest sympathy and watched attentively.

Mother Wen held a mahogany carved ring ruler about 20 inches long, more than an inch wide, and less than half an inch in both hands, and walked cautiously to Sima Qu.

The workmanship of this ring ruler is quite exquisite, the ring face is engraved with the family rules of Sima Mansion, and the tail is still hung with tassels.

Mother Wen bowed down and said, "Family master, the family law is invited." ”

Even if Sima Guansheng knelt down and admitted his mistake, even if Ling's mother had already received the punishment, Sima Qu still had no intention of sparing Sima Guansheng.

Until today, Sima Guansheng knows that her father Sima Qu is not only honest, but also easily bewitched.

For more than 14 years, Sima Qu rarely went to Lichun Pavilion to walk around, and from the bottom of his heart, he and Sima Guansheng did not establish a deep father-daughter relationship.

If Sima Guansheng is tactful and doesn't make trouble for him, he may not remember that there is such a concubine!

She has always played the role of never making mistakes, and once she makes a mistake, it will be a monstrous mistake in Sima Qu's eyes, because Sima Qu is used to her goodness. It's like a flawless jade wall, and when a little flaw is suddenly discovered, people often magnify the insignificant flaw and ignore the original light of the jade wall.

Sima Qu said coldly: "Mother Wen, it's up to you to enforce the family law." ”

"Yes, Master." Mother Wen walked up to Sima Guansheng with the ring ruler in her hand and sneered at Sima Guansheng.

Sima Guansheng raised his head to look at Mother Wen's hideous face, his eyes were full of hatred. For the first time, she felt that hate was so real, so palpable.

"Master, where is this going to be hit?" Mother Wen held the ring ruler high and fell heavily, but stopped again in mid-air.

Although this ring ruler did not hit Sima Guansheng, it really scared her out of a cold sweat, she closed her eyes in fear, and her body subconsciously made dodging moves.

"Hit ...... Hatchet man. Sima Qu hesitated for a moment and said ruthlessly.

When Mother Wen heard this, she couldn't wait to raise the ring ruler in her hand and hit Sima Guansheng's palm that was lying flat. This ring ruler, she has used all the strength to breastfeed.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

Sima Guansheng reflexively withdrew his hands, touched his hot palms, and immediately burst into tears.

Although her food, clothing, housing and transportation do not match her identity as a concubine, she is also a lady who does not touch the spring water. Those jade hands were all playing the piano and making ink, and this was the first time that such a punishment had been given.

"Second girl, please cooperate, don't disobey the punishment of the head of the family." Mother Wen swore to Sima Guansheng, pointed at her withdrawn hands with a ring ruler, and motioned for her to stretch out her hands.

She glanced at Sima Qu aggrievedly, and Sima Qu still looked cold.

She had no choice but to spread her hands again, and the pear blossom greeted the beating again and again.

Ling's mother, who finished beating the board, was dragged back by two male servants and threw her to the ground and knelt.

The manservant said: "Master of the family, the ten boards have been played." ”

"Alright, stand down!"

Mother Ling knelt in front of Sima Guansheng, looked at Sima Guansheng helplessly, and whispered in her mouth, "Second girl, second girl, are you okay?" ”

Sima Guansheng endured the pain and squeezed out a sentence from his trembling lips, "Ling...... Mother Ling, I ...... I...... I'm fine, you don't have to worry. ”

Mother Ling kept wiping away her tears, watching Sima Guansheng suffer, but she had nothing to do. She prayed, praying that the old lady would come quickly, otherwise, Sima Guansheng's jade hands would be useless.

Sima Qu said self-righteously: "It's just that you don't discipline yourself, and you actually instigated your wife to go crazy with you." Kicking shuttlecock? You're really painstaking, if it weren't for the accident today, maybe you would be able to break the sky one day. If I don't punish you, the ancestors of the Sima family will not agree. ”

Sima Guansheng gritted his teeth and retorted, "I didn't, it's the big sister ......"

Before Sima Guansheng finished his defense, Sima Qu yelled: "Shut up, it seems that the punishment is not enough, and she still knows how to quibble, continue to fight, and beat until she knows her mistakes and can correct them." ”

The room was silent again, and only the sound of the ring ruler hitting the palm of the hand could be heard.

Ling's mother cried heartbreakingly, and pleaded for Sima Guansheng from time to time. But her words didn't seem to have any effect at all.

Rushuang and Liang's mother supported the old lady who was not good at walking, and hurried towards Liuying Pavilion.

After the old lady lost her sight, her ears were unusually sensitive. As soon as she reached the corridor outside the Liuying Pavilion, she heard the sound of the ring ruler lapping in the house.

She quickened her steps, and before she could get into the room, she shouted, "Stop! ”

Although she is over half a hundred years old, her voice is still very loud.

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

Everyone in the room heard that it was the old lady's voice, and Mother Wen was so frightened that she stopped her hand and hurriedly retreated to the side.

Sima Qu and Zhong Xiaoniang hurriedly got up from their chairs, ready to greet the approaching old lady.

As soon as the old lady entered the door, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Mother, be well!" ”

The maids and daughters in the room also saluted the old lady in unison.

The old lady said angrily: "Can I be well? It is not quiet for most of the night. ”

Sima Qu was caught off guard and stepped forward to help the old lady, wanting to help the old lady to sit down. Respectfully and humbly: "Mother, it's getting late, if you have something, just send someone over to summon you, why bother you to run in person." ”

The old lady pushed Sima Qu's hand away, stretched out her arms and groped forward, and shouted in her mouth: "Guan Sheng, Sheng girl......"

"Grandmother, Guan Sheng is here." Sima Guansheng didn't dare to get up without permission, and responded to the old lady's call with a crying voice.

Liang's mother helped the old lady to walk in the direction of Sima Guansheng, and when the old lady walked to her, Sima Guansheng stretched out her hands to grab the old lady's wrinkled hands.

But as soon as the two hands touched together, Sima Guansheng screamed and pulled his hands back due to pain.

When the old lady heard this, her face jumped with worry, she squatted down with difficulty, trembling her hands and fumbling to grab Sima Guansheng's wrist, and said urgently: "Sheng girl, how are you?" Are you okay? Let my grandmother touch it, did it hurt the palm of my hand? ”
