Huating retreats to the garden of Siting, and the Songfeng Hall of Wangu Valleys.

In the Xuanchang main hall, eight servants from the Xu family set up in two rows.

Mr. Xu Ge opened his hair and hair, and he held his crutch heavily on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Beast, why don't you kneel down!"

Xu Ying had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly.

Looking at Xu Fan standing beside his father, he suddenly remembered, wasn’t this the scene when his elder brother was beaten last month?

Is this too unlucky?

"Last brother, what did you say to you and your elder brother on the day Yuanchun wrote?" Xu Jie's emotions calmed down, but his eyes were so bright that they were so brisk.

"My father said, sons don't have to worry about Kunshan's affairs." Xu Ying replied with a tough forehead.

"Then why are you worried again?" Xu Jie looked at him and asked lightly.

"Father..." Xu Ying swallowed and said, "I don't."

"Haha." Xu Jie smiled, stood up with a cane, and said lightly: "You always don't accept your elder brother, but your elder brother is at least willing to take responsibility. You don't even have any responsibility, and you still want to support the Xu family?"

Xu Ying's head buzzed, and beads of sweat were oozing out of her forehead, but she still said with a firm mouth: "My son has really done nothing."

"So, you don't know anything about Xu Bangning?" Xu Jie said with a teasing smile.

"I really don't know what he did?" Xu Ying continued to pretend to be stupid in fear.

"San'er, you're a little tender." Xu Jie stood in front of his youngest son, gently tapped his shoulder with a crutch and said:

"If you think you don't touch your hands, others won't blame you for your head? If Young Master Zhao is so easy to deal with, your elder brother can make him do this?"

"..." Xu Ying lowered her head, her heart pounding.

"Do you look down on your elder brother?" Xu Jie lifted his chin with a crutch and looked at him coldly.

"No, my son dare not." Xu Ying shook his head and denied it.

"Your brother is in Beijing and you are still wet when you are playing tricks with those officials in the court." Xu Jie sneered:

"Do you know why he never lie to me? Because first, he knows that he can't deceive me at all. Second, he hates my own flesh and blood to deceive me the most for my father."

As he said that, he gently stroked Xu Ying's head and said, "You have been in Huating for many years. You are negligent in discipline for you for your father, so I am tolerant to you than to your elder brother. Now I will give you another last chance for my father. Tell me the truth - did you instigate Xu Bangning's destruction of the dike?"

Xu Ying thought quickly, but she had revealed her slightest bit of a loss? But she couldn't think of it at all.

But he didn't dare to stubborn anymore. His father said so seriously. Obviously, no matter how he denied it, it would only completely arouse his father's disgust.

He had no choice but to nod his head humiliatedly, and said with red eyes: "When my son was drinking with him, he said it jokingly, who knows he will take it seriously..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a cry and Xu Jie slapped his cheek with a heavy crutch.

Xu Ying was immediately knocked away with two teeth and fell to the ground.

"Silly Pig! Foolish stupid pig!" Xu Jie roared and whipped his body with his cane.

"Xu Bangning lives at your home. How can you believe that he will not discuss with you if he does this kind of thing?"

Xu Ying hugged her head, twisted her body and dodged, and explained in a hurry:

"It's useless for the boy named Zhao to doubt it. He has no evidence at all! Even if Xu Bangning confronts me, he is not afraid!"

"The idiot doesn't understand why I don't want to mess with him!"

After all, Xu Jie was old and weak, and was tired after a few strokes. He asked someone to bring the spring stool and press Xu Ying on his head.

"Because Zhao Hao is in the sky, His Majesty may have given him the right to report secretly in the silver seal, do you understand!"

"It's impossible!" Xu Ying was stunned, and she didn't even care about her pants being stripped.

The power of the silver seal secretly gives officials above the fourth rank, and only a few trusted ministers can obtain it.

Zhao Hao is just a boy with an eighth-grade false title, how could He De get a seal?

"Otherwise, why did Your Majesty send him and his father to Suzhou? Isn't it just to stare at me?" Xu Jie snorted angrily: "Without Your Majesty's support for him, how could your elder brother lose to him?"

Xu Fan, who had been beaten to a great enlightenment and was much calmer, couldn't help but focus on his head when he heard this.

He was very convinced by his father's conclusion. After all, even if Zhao Hao did not have the right to report secretly in the silver seal, his relationship with the eldest princess alone would be enough for Datian to listen.

"Governing the family is like governing the country, and rewards and punishments must be fair." Then Xu Jie shouted in a deep voice: "San'er, because your elder brother did things without permission, I beat him up. This time you knowingly committed the crime and disobeyed him lip service. It's worse than your elder brother's behavior. Do you accept me if I punish you?"

"Accept..." What else can Xu Ying say? If you don't accept it, are you looking for death if you don't work in the pit?

"Okay, forty, go back and be imprisoned for a month!" Xu Jie waved his hand and looked at the servants coldly and said, "How did you beat the uncle that day? I still remember it."

"Yes." The slaves shrank their necks. In fact, they had been stunned by the old master and completely recognized who the real master of the Xu family was.

They don’t have the ability of those professional players in the yamen to cheat, so they can only fight with each other.

After 40 yards, Master Xu San was also full of flesh and blood, and there was no good meat on his butt.

But he was young and in good health, and he didn't faint.

"Go back to your garden and reflect." Xu Jie waved his hand and asked someone to carry him down with the door panel. "Hurry up and drive away the scoundrel and let him go wherever he loves!"

"Yes..." Master Xu San's face was as white as paper, his voice was weak.

"By the way, who gave the broken name of Afangyuan? Do you think it's not silly enough?" Xu Jie said coldly again: "Go back and shovel it away quickly. It's better to be empty than now!"

"Yes..." Master Xu San was already dizzy and could only say yes.

When Xu Ying was carried out, Xu Jiefang's expression cleared and said to Xu Fan: "You sent me a letter to Mr. Zhao for me, saying that the matter had nothing to do with Xu Ying, but he and Xu Bangning were fooling around all day long, which was very abominable. I have already punished him heavily and confined him."

After a pause, Xu Jie said with a little distressed feeling: "Another two thousand taels of silver is considered to be donated by me to build the dike in Kunshan."

"Yes, father." Xu Fan replied softly, holding Xu Jie to the inner bed to rest.

When Xu Jie lay down, he said to Xu Fan as if he was gossiping: "You are also concerned about family affairs. No matter how you say it, you are the eldest brother. You must not ignore it."

"Yes, father." Xu Fan's heart moved, and he suddenly understood why his father took the opportunity to beat the third brother and had to be confined to one month.

This is clearly creating an opportunity for myself to retake over the family business.

It’s just that being a father cannot be explained clearly.

~~

In that room, Xu Ying was taken back to Afangyuan by a carriage.

When the servants carried him out of the car, Xu Bangning saw it.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I don't have time to talk to you. Zhao Hao already knows what you did. Go back and find a way..." After Xu Ying said that, she finally couldn't hold on and fainted with a tilted head.
