Bai Yu'an here hurriedly tidied up her clothes and went to the study.
The door to the study room was closed, and Bai Yu'an was about to open the door without even saying hello.
Just the next second, the door inside was opened. Bai Yuanqing stood at the door. He looked at Bai Yu'an standing outside the door for a moment, and then he missed his eyes and crossed the threshold.
Bai Yu'an pulled Bai Yuanqing and asked, "Have you read the letter I left for you?"
Bai Yuanqing glanced at Bai Yu'an and said nothing, just pulled her arm away and walked out.
Bai Yu'an wanted to hold Bai Yuanqing back and ask, but her father in the room suddenly said to her: "Yu'an, come in."
Such a low and solemn voice sounded like a heavy weight, but also like a light and simple sentence.
Bai Yu'an suddenly panicked and turned to look at his father.
The wrinkled face had sharp and profound eyes, and the corners of the tightly pursed lips seemed to be suppressing something.
Bai Yu'an's legs suddenly shook a little.
Bai Tongchun saw Bai Yu'an standing still, and the look in his eyes became even more majestic: "I asked you to come in, and I want to ask you a question!"
Bai Yu'an calmed down and as soon as he stepped through the door, he heard his father say to the boy outside the door: "Keep the door secure. No one is allowed to open it without me."
Following the response from the door, the door behind him was slammed shut.
The uneasiness was getting worse, and Bai Yu'an had probably guessed what was going on.
She hurriedly looked at her father: "Father, my cousin has some misunderstandings about me. Could dad listen to my explanation?"
Bai Tongchun's eyes were full of red threads at this moment, and all the suppressed anger just now came out.
"You bastard, why don't you kneel down!"
This sound was majestic and powerful, like a bell hitting it, and Bai Yu'an was so frightened that he knelt down.
Bai Tongchun took out his whip and hit Bai Yu'an: "Explain? How to explain?"
"Your cousin saw you hugging each other with his own eyes. I'm ashamed to mention it."
"You evildoer, I will beat you to death today, lest you do anything that ruins the family tradition again!"
Bai Tongchun said, whipping down one whip after another, all falling behind Bai Yu'an.
"I said you would rather disobey me than get married. It turns out you are doing such dirty things in private!"
"You didn't touch the girl I sent to your room. I thought you weren't enlightened, but you were enlightened and became such a dirty person!"
"You are so dazzled by the prosperity of the capital that you do something so degrading to your family tradition. You even lose your face in order to cling to the powerful!"
After Bai Tongchun said a few words, Bai Yu'an had been whipped nearly ten times, and she was sweating all over in pain. Together with the old and new wounds on her back, she felt that her bones were being exposed, her body was shaky, and she could hardly kneel down.
Bai Yu'an gritted his teeth, unable to spit out the words of explanation in his throat.
She couldn't explain it, and she didn't dare to say that she was a woman.
Otherwise, tonight's fight will be endless.
Bai Tongchun and Bai Yu'an lowered their heads and said nothing. They already knew that this matter was inseparable. The whip in their hands hit them harder: "You evildoer, how did I teach you since you were a child? Be honest and upright. Currently serving as an official."
"It's great for you to have done such a despicable thing."
"Every book you have been reading since you were a child has ended up in a dog's belly."
"Thankfully, your cousin told me that this news is about to get out. Where can I put my old face?"
"No matter what, they all come to see my joke and see what kind of evil I have raised."
The sound of the whip never stopped after closing the door, and the sound was so shocking that even the boy standing outside felt weak in his legs.
A Tao couldn't stand listening any longer, so he quickly went to ask his wife to come over.
When Mrs. Li came over, the sound of whips in the house had not stopped. Mrs. Li was so anxious that she quickly asked her mother-in-law to chase the boy at the door and push the door open, only to find that the door was tied from the inside.
Li's tears suddenly fell down and she cried: "Master, you are going to beat Shiro to death today."
Then Bai Tongchun's furious voice came from inside: "You woman, let it go. Today I am going to beat this bastard to death. From now on, I will pretend that I don't have this son, so that he will not be embarrassed when he goes out again!"
Bai Yu'an had been beaten to the ground by the whip. He couldn't even hum. There was a piece of rot on his back, and there was no good piece of meat all over his body.
The sound of whips in my ears kept coming, sometimes far and sometimes near, and I couldn't think straight in my mind.
I just felt the pain penetrate into my bone marrow, and I wanted to bite my tongue off and die.
Outside, Mrs. Li's cries grew louder and louder: "If you beat her to death, I won't be able to live either."
"Today I will hit her to death in front of this door. When you kill her, I will hit her to death."
Then there was the sound of banging on the door, and the sound of the girl screaming outside.
Bai Tongchun's eyes were red, and his face was already stained with tears.
He looked down at Bai Yu'an who was beaten by him and was dying. The whip was already stained with blood, the back of his arm was covered in blood, and even the back of his neck had been whipped twice.
"Obstacle..."
He was whipped a few more times, blood spattered, and his white clothes were all stained with blood.
"It would be better if you died."
"If you die, this scandal will be over. I will pretend that I never raised a son like you."
"I'll just die with you and forget it..."
Bai Yu'an's fingertips moved, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his head. His throat was filled with the smell of iron, and every whip on his back felt like the flesh was being peeled off.
When Mrs. Li outside heard what Bai Tongchun said inside, her liver and gallbladder burst into tears, and she cried and shouted: "You beat me to death!"
"Let me die first!"
As he spoke, the banging on the door became even louder, until the girl outside screamed: "Madam's head is broken, please stop hitting it."
Bai Tongchun was almost unsteady on his feet. Looking at Bai Yu'an who was motionless on the ground, he finally dropped the whip in his hand.
He walked to the door and opened it. At a glance, Li saw Bai Tongchun in front of him, his eyes were red and his face was moist.
Li's forehead was cracked and stained with blood. She looked at Bai Tongchun with tears in her eyes, and her voice was dry and hoarse: "No matter how big of a mistake Si Lang makes, beating him to death will make me feel relieved, right?"
Bai Tongchun closed his eyes tiredly: "Do you know what scandalous things this scoundrel did in the capital?"
He shook his head: "I'm ashamed to mention it..."
Ms. Li couldn't stop crying: "No matter how big the scandal is, can life be important?"
Bai Tongchun swayed: "I have been an upright official all my life, but I have developed this evil obstacle. If he dies, I will die with him."
Bai Tongchun stepped out of the threshold as he spoke, but before he could take two steps, he fell straight down.
If a boy hadn't been quick to catch him, he would have rolled down the steps and the consequences would have been disastrous.
The scene turned into a mess. Mrs. Li pinched her fingers tightly to regain her composure. She quickly asked the girl to help the master go to the room to lie down, and called for the doctor to come over.
After all the instructions were given, Mrs. Li looked at Bai Yu'an who had become a bloody man in the room. There was a pool of blood under his body, motionless, as if he was dead.
Li couldn't help it anymore and rushed over in two or three steps. Only then did she see that all the flesh on the back was rotten, blood was hanging on her lips, and her eyes were closed tightly. Li almost fainted from the sight.
