Bai Chuanfeng was utterly disappointed in her and picked up the feather duster next to her to beat her viciously. Her strikes were extrely fierce and not light at all; seeing her, it was as if she was trying to beat her own daughter to death. Old Lady Bai was infuriated, yet, after all, it was her own granddaughter. She could not really stand by and watch her daughter beat her granddaughter to death.
Old Lady Bai sighed and said, "Enough, stop hitting her. Thankfully, I didn’t drink that dicine."
Old Master Bai was relieved. "You didn’t drink it? That’s good, that’s good. Then your health..."
"I was scared."
Old Lady Bai recounted the whole story. It turned out she had known since that afternoon that soone wanted to curse her.
"If it hadn’t been for Mingjing’s early discovery and warning, I’m afraid I, this old woman, would have really died tonight," said Old Lady Bai.
Bai Chuanfeng stopped and said to Bai Qingshui, "Did you hear that? Reflect on yourself properly and apologize to your maternal grandmother."
"Maternal Grandmother, I was wrong. I’m sorry, I was wrong."
Bai Qingshui had been beaten until she saw stars. She couldn’t stand steadily and collapsed onto the ground, blood seeping from her back. She looked very miserable.
The seated clansn had initially been filled with righteous indignation. However, seeing how miserably Bai Qingshui had been beaten, that she had received her due punishnt and realized her wrongs, and knowing that Old Lady Bai hadn’t consud the dicine, their anger eased. They no longer felt as furious as before and only hoped that Bai Qingshui would learn from her mistake and nd her ways.
Mo Yinhe sat on the sofa. He found this farce, all thunder and no rain, quite laughable.
Thus, he laughed out loud. His deep laughter was filled with sarcasm. "Is that all?"
"We can’t really beat her to death; after all, she’s still young. If she ends up missing an arm or a leg, how is she supposed to live the rest of her life?"
"Seeing this child beaten so miserably, she definitely won’t dare to do it again. It’s better to give her a chance to redeem herself by making ands."
"Yes, family scandals shouldn’t be publicized. We can’t let it beco common knowledge that the Bai Family’s granddaughter tried to poison her own maternal grandmother. If word of this got out, wouldn’t the Bai Family beco the laughingstock of not just the Imperial Capital but the entire Mu Continent?"
The clansn spoke one after another, all of them considering the interests of the clan.
Ye Siyuan was now the apple of Crown Prince Lisao’s eye. If this matter reached Crown Prince Lisao and he beca thunderously furious, what would the Bai Family do?
Ye Siyuan was also the Second Princess of Atlantis. If the matter escalated further, becoming an issue of state between two nations, wouldn’t the Bai Family beco outcasts on the Mu Continent?
So, no matter how this incident was resolved, it couldn’t be publicized. This was the unanimous consideration in the minds of the clansn.
Mo Yinhe chuckled coldly, his gaze chillingly sharp, like the prelude to a storm. "So, the intention of you Bai Family clansn is that my sister can be frad at will and doesn’t need to pay any price? Heh. Very well, very well indeed!"
Mo Yinhe rose abruptly, flicking a bit of dust from his trousers. "Siyuan, let’s go."
Ye Siyuan deliberately asked, "Brother, where are we going?"
"Where else could we go? Back to Atlantis. We’ll have our Ministry of Foreign Affairs discuss with the Mu Continent’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs how to handle this matter."
After speaking, Mo Yinhe took her by the wrist and strode towards the exit.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the living room felt their hearts pound wildly. Wasn’t this the worst possible outco?
Bai Chuanfeng was the first to intercept Mo Yinhe. For the first ti, she addressed her son-in-law with such warmth, "Son-in-law, we can discuss this. I definitely won’t cover up for what Qingshui did. I will surely beat her to death! I never said we should just let this go!"
"Oh? Then continue beating. Beat her until she’s dead," Mo Yinhe said lightly.
Bai Chuanfeng still clutched the feather duster. Hearing Mo Yinhe’s cold and heartless words, she wished she could swing it at him.
Bai Qingshui was terrified and hid behind Sheng Baichuan. "Daddy, save ! I know I was wrong, I really do."
How could Sheng Baichuan possibly persuade Mo Yinhe? In Mo Yinhe’s eyes, he, his father-in-law, had never carried any weight.
"Go beg your sister, quick!"
Bai Qingshui flung herself at Si Mingjing. "Sister, Sister, save ! Ask Brother-in-law to spare ! I’m your only sister in this world, your biological sister!"
Si Mingjing spoke with difficulty, "Qingshui, what you did this ti was truly too much. Siyuan is the sister Yinhe dotes on most. The whole world knows Mo Yinhe is obsessively protective of his sister. Even I don’t hold as much weight in his heart as his own sister does. Even if I speak up, Mo Yinhe might not listen to ."
Mo Yinhe thought, Nonsense. You are the most important person to .
But at this mont, he played along with Si Mingjing, saying coldly, "Mingjing, don’t try to persuade . If you do, you’ll no longer be the one dearest to my heart!"
Si Mingjing waved her hand in distress. "Qingshui, you heard him. Life is also difficult for with my in-laws. Atlantis isn’t the Mu Continent; it’s not a place where won are revered. In my husband’s family, I have to be mindful of Yinhe’s moods, and I certainly wouldn’t dare offend my sister-in-law. Otherwise, who among his family would tolerate ?"
Ye Siyuan chid in with a heavy snort.
"Grandmother, Grandmother..."
With nowhere else to turn for help, Bai Qingshui threw herself before Old Lady Bai. "Save , please save ..."
Old Lady Bai scolded with bitter disappointnt, "If you had known it would co to this, why did you do it in the first place?"
Old Lady Bai could not just stand by and let Mo Yinhe take Ye Siyuan back to Atlantis to resolve the issue through the official channel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After so thought, she said, "Grandson-in-law, what do you think of this? Exile Qingshui to the land. Let her reflect on her actions there, and forbid her from returning to the Imperial Capital for five years!"
Old Lady Bai was utterly heartbroken. Unwilling to see Bai Qingshui anymore, she decided to exile her to the land—out of sight, out of mind!
In Old Lady Bai’s eyes, the land was an inferior world. Sending Bai Qingshui to the land was, to her, like city dwellers sending their children to the countryside—a severe punishnt.
But in Mo Yinhe’s eyes, this punishnt was a joke.
His long legs moved, and he strode directly out.
Sheng Baichuan huffed heavily. "Then what do you want? Qingshui is also your sister-in-law! At the end of the day, we’re all family. Why must family make things difficult for family? Do you really want us to beat our daughter to death before you’re willing to let this go? If Qingshui is beaten to death, do you think Mingjing could spend her life with a man who killed her own biological sister?"
These words, when they reached Mo Yinhe’s ears, sounded like an even bigger joke!
His Mingjing probably wished even more than he did that Bai Qingshui would be beaten to death directly!
Mo Yinhe’s footsteps halted. He turned, his cold gaze falling on Bai Qingshui. "Wasn’t it supposed to be exile? What’s the point of exiling her to the land? Life on the land is carefree and joyful. Is that exile, or a vacation? Since it’s exile you want, then send her to the Prison Star! Let her see the place where her sister once lived and experience it for herself!"
