The red jade soft whip was as fast as lightning, as swift as a serpent, leaving sharp marks on Su Yurou and Yuan Ruos bodies.

Pa! Pa!

Su Yingxue administered two lashes to each of them, causing Su Yurou and Yuan Ruo to fall to the ground in agony.

Liu Shulans expression drastically changed. Rouer!

She hastily assisted Su Yurou. Though Su Yingxue didnt target her face, the whip left open wounds on her body.

Su Yurou cried out, Su Yingxue, how dare you hit me!

Sister, this was aunts directive. She intended to discuss rules with me first. Su Yingxue gently stroked the whip, her eyes sharp and cold.

Su Yingxue, what are you doing? Shulan reminded you of the rules, but you resorted to violence. Is that what the rules dictate? Su Dingheng hurriedly intervened.

He had originally wanted to happily bring Liu Shulan and her daughter back to the manor today. He couldnt be happier that both of them had a status.

But now, Su Yingxue had injured Su Yurou with a whip!

Of course, its part of the rules. Father and aunt suggested my maid had no right to interrupt. Does that imply sisters maid does? Both are maids. Whats wrong with me teaching an insolent maid a lesson?

Su Yingxue remained composed.

Su Dingheng was momentarily stunned. But you accidentally injured your sister!

Sister it wasnt accidental. It was a lesson for her, too. Su Yingxue corrected.

Su Dingheng felt a lump in his throat.

Liu Shulan was indignant. Eldest Young Miss, its justifiable to discipline a maid, but why did you whip my Rouer until her skin broke?

After Liu Shulan spoke, her eyes teared up, accusing Su Yingxue of being ruthless.

Su Yingxue calmly addressed the situation. Aunt is new here. Allow me to clarify a rule. In this Marquiss Manor, if a servant errs, it reflects poorly on the masters training. Its our responsibility to correct them. I disciplined my younger sister, as a warning. She needs to properly manage her servants. If she recklessly inflicts harm, shell share in the punishment.

Su Yingxues explanation seemed reasonable. Although the rules were strict, within a household of military background, such severity was deemed common by the guests.

Consequently, they didnt see Su Yingxues actions against Su Yurou as unjustified, especially since Su Yurou initiated the altercation.

Your maid also erred. Why dont you punish yourself? Despite her injuries, Su Yurou gnashed her teeth, pointing at Su Yingxue.

The only one who can punish me in this household is Father.

Turning away, Su Yingxues indifferent gaze held a trace of sharpness. Father, are you going to punish me today?Fllw ew stories at n/v(e)lb/in(.)com

I Su Dingheng felt choked by this internal conflict!

Today was his birthday banquet, and Su Yingxue had overseen everything. If he punished her, who would handle affairs?

Wouldnt that publicly humiliate himself?

With a darkened expression, Su Dingheng instructed Liu Shulan, Take Rouer for treatment.

Yes, Marquis, Liu Shulan complied, though she seemed unwilling.

Su Yurou openly wept, but Liu Shulan prevented her from creating a scene.

Meanwhile, Chu Chengye, standing aside, noticed Su Yingxue continuing to entertain guests, deliberately ignoring him. He seethed with anger.

His mothers words reverberated in his mind. You value Su Yingxues invitation today, but shes just using you..
