Chapter 65: Determined to Give Her a Harsh Punishnt
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Qinghe did not pause for a mont.
This was her own daughter. Looking at the swollen palms and pale face of Gu Xingyu, listening to her cries, she felt heartache as well.
But precisely because she was her own daughter, she couldn’t afford to be lenient.
With Gu Xingyu’s current attitude of disregarding others and behaving arrogantly, if she didn’t discipline her properly, she would inevitably cause a great disaster.
A full fifty strikes, not missing a single ti, and not holding back at all.
After receiving the punishnt, Gu Xingyu’s hands were swollen like thick pancakes, completely unrecognizable. The pain made her faint.
Shen Qinghe was determined to teach her a lesson this ti. She only let soone attend to her hands briefly and did not let the matter end there.
Although Gu Ziheng was anxious, he had no way to intervene.
After Lu Miao left the hospital, she went to the underground market.
By the ti she returned to the Gu family , everything was over.
In the living room, Shen Qinghe was sitting on the sofa, apparently waiting for her.
“Auntie Shen.” Lu Miao stepped forward and greeted her.
Shen Qinghe reached out and pulled her to sit beside her, apologizing with guilt, “Miao Miao, I’m sorry for making you suffer again today.”
“It’s nothing. Auntie Shen, don’t worry about it. “Lu Miao shook her head nonchalantly.
The words ‘it’s nothing’ pricked Shen Qinghe’s heart even more when she heard them.
These two words ant that she had suffered more, or even more, unfair treatnt in the past.
That was why she could face such a thing without feeling anything.
She did not even want her to be caught in the middle and did not even ask for an apology.
Back then, when she brought Lu Miao back, she told her that she would stand up for her in the future and would not let her suffer anymore.
But the result was that she repeatedly endured mistreatnt in the Gu family.
She felt terrible.
No matter what, she could no longer open her mouth about the prescription.
Lu Miao had put effort into finding precious prescriptions, spent hours painstakingly preparing the dicine, only to have it spilled in front of Gu Xingyu.
Now, Lu Miao didn’t even complain about anything. She didn’t have the face to ask anymore, so she simply instructed the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Lu Miao liked.
After seeing that she was fine, Lu Miao greeted her and went straight upstairs.
However, before she entered, she bumped into Gu Ziheng, who was coming down with a first aid kit.
Lu Miao’s face was calm. She walked past him without looking at him and went straight to her room.
She didn’t seem angry about what had happened before, nor did she have any intention of building a relationship with him.
Looking at the closed door in front of him, a complicated expression flashed across Gu Ziheng’s face.
He stood there and stared at her door for a long ti before finally turning around and going downstairs.
When Gu Jinxi went to her room for tutoring, he told her that Gu Xingyu was being disciplined.
Lu Miao did not sympathize with her.
She wasn’t so saint who could be bullied by anyone.
In fact, if Shen Qinghe had not treated her so well and did not want her to be caught in the middle, she would have dealt with Gu Xingyu long ago.
Now that she was punished, she asked for it.
The next morning, Lu Miao went downstairs for breakfast after washing up. When she walked to the dining room, she saw that Gu Ziheng was already at the dining table.
Lu Miao did not deliberately avoid him. She went to the kitchen to get so food and sat down on the other side of the table, slowly eating her breakfast.
Although the two of them were sitting at the sa table, it was as if they were separated by a river.
Lu Miao ate in silence. The dining room was so quiet that even the sound of her eating could be heard
Gu Ziheng looked at her hesitantly for a long ti and finally couldn’t help but speak.
“I’m very sorry about what happened yesterday. It was your kind intention to bring the dicine you painstakingly brewed to see . No matter what, Xingyu shouldn’t have spilled your dicine.
I apologize on her behalf.”
Lu Miao swallowed the food in her mouth and replied indifferently, ” Mm.
She took out her phone and looked at the ti. After finishing her food in two or three bites, she took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and began to clean up the cutlery on the table.
Seeing that she was about to get up and leave, Gu Ziheng pursed his lips. ” If you have any other requests, you can ask.
As long as I can do it, I can agree to it.”
Lu Miao lifted her eyelids and looked at him. ” No. ”
Gu Ziheng said sincerely, “Xingyu made a mistake yesterday. Mom has already punished her.
She had also paid the price for her mistakes.
If you think that’s not enough, I’ll personally apologize to you after she recovers.”
Lu Miao placed the cutlery back on the table. ” What do you want to say?”
Although it was difficult for Gu Ziheng to say it, he had no choice but to say it, “She was punished by the family yesterday. Both her hands were seriously injured and she fainted from the pain.
She had a high fever last night and could not eat anything now.
My mother refused to forgive her. When she saw that she had woken up, she imdiately got soone to send her back to the ancestral hall.
She insisted that she reflect on herself in the ancestral hall.
I want you to plead for Xingyu in front of Mom and let her go back to her room to recuperate.”
He knew that this was unfair to Lu Miao, but Gu Xingyu was his only sister after all.
He couldn’t just watch her get hurt and be punished.
As for Lu Miao, he would definitely make it up to her.
Upon hearing this, Lu Miao’s expression was indifferent. ” I’m sorry, but I can’t agree. ”
Gu Ziheng was anxious. ” Why? Xingyu had made a mistake, but she had already received the corresponding punishnt.
What else do you want her to do?”
Lu Miao didn’t directly answer his question but looked at him and asked, “If it were Gu Xingyu who delivered the dicine today, and I accidentally spilled it and ended up being punished in the ancestral hall, would you ask Gu Xingyu to plead for ?”
Gu Ziheng was taken aback by the question. His lips moved, wanting to answer, but in the end, nothing ca out.
Honestly speaking, if the roles were reversed and Gu Xingyu was publicly bullied by Lu Miao and suffered such injustice, he would only dislike Lu Miao even more. He would never ask Gu Xingyu to plead on his behalf.
Feeling ashad, he couldn’t help but say, “I’m sorry, I went too far.”
Lu Miao picked up the cutlery on the table, turned around, and put it in the kitchen. Then, she took her bag and went to school.
Gu Ziheng sat at the dining table, thinking about Gu Xingyu, feeling a bit of a headache.
Gu Xingyu was not like this in the past. Although she was unruly and willful, it was only in so harmless aspects. She still had the most basic manners and manners.
But now, it seed like everything she had learned before had been forgotten.
With her attitude of refusing to admit her mistake, who knew how long she would have to reflect on herself in the ancestral hall.
He got up and went to the kitchen to bring so food to the ancestral hall.
Auntie Xiu saw him go in to get so food from the kitchen and knew that he was going to deliver food to Gu Xingyu. She helped him get a thermos box from the dining cabinet and helped him from the side.
She looked at him from ti to ti, as if she wanted to say sothing but hesitated.
Gu Ziheng packed his things and asked with concern, “Auntie Xiu, what’s wrong?” Is there sothing wrong with your family that you need help with, or is there sothing else?”
Auntie Xiu had been in the Gu family for many years and had watched him grow up. She had been dedicated to everyone and had long beco a part of the Gu family.
Auntie Xiu hesitated for a mont before she said, ” Young Master, do you not like Young Madam Lu very much?”
She had overheard the conversation between Gu Ziheng and Lu Miao in the kitchen. Although Gu Ziheng had been very polite to Lu Miao throughout and even took the bla on behalf of Gu Xingyu, his politeness created a certain distance.
Gu Ziheng shook his head. ” No.
Perhaps it was because of what Gu Xingyu had told him previously that he had been preconceived.
Therefore, he did not like Lu Miao when he first t her.
He only maintained the most basic politeness towards her.
However, after their brief interaction, he realized that she was different from what Gu Xingyu had described.
Especially after what Professor Wen had ntioned about the dicine, he felt ashad and didn’t know how to face Lu Miao.
If he liked her just to cure his throat and tried his best to please her, that would be too superficial.
Seeing his troubled expression, Auntie Xiu thought he was still bothered by Lu Miao’s refusal to plead for Gu Xingyu earlier, so she spoke directly.
“Actually, Young Madam Lu is really kind-hearted. She treats the servants in the house well and has never regarded us as re servants. She genuinely cares about your throat. I saw it myself when she was preparing the dicine…”
She wanted to tell her that she saw Lu Miao using her blood to make dicine for him that day..
