Chapter 261 - No Point In Crying

historical

FangSu was dragged into the Old Man's study by the manservants and when the rest of the family wanted to come in, Butler Lu blocked their way.

"Please go back." Butler Lu said with his arm stretched out. No smile could be seen on his face.

Fu Hee was so worried that she couldn't help pacing up and down the hallway.

"Can we at least know what she did wrong?" Fu Hee asked in a worried tone. Others were curious about the same question, so they all fixed their gazes on Butler Lu.

"Miss FangSu would be in a better position to confess her sins after she is punished. Please go back to your rooms, Madams and Sirs." Butler Lu said before turning to walk into the study and shut the door behind them.

In the study, FangSu was already fidgeting when she saw her furious grandfather.

"What are you looking at? On your knees!" Grandfather said while pointing angrily at her.

FangSu didn't need the servants to help her because she knelt before her grandfather that minute with tears in her eyes and she didn't dare to say a word for fear that she would be killed the next minute.

"Lu, get my cane!" Grandfather Fu instructed with his fierce gaze on FangSu whose eyes widened in shock.

As Butler Lu went behind the big shelf to get the cane, FangSu tried to get to her feet but the servants held her down by the shoulders.

"Grandfather, please. I'm sorry, I promise not to do it again!" FangSu pleaded with tears in her eyes as she couldn't believe her grandfather would want to hit her and this was the first time in her life he would be pushing her using that method and she was so scared.

"That was the same thing you said to me but do I look like I have no value for you to be so sneaky under my nose?" Grandfather Fu asked while pointing at himself. He really wanted to throw things at her but he was above that.

"Grandfather I know I went back on my words, it's just that brother's servants were rude to me last time, so I thought they needed the training and asked for them to come over!" FangSu pleaded as a snort was already coming out from her nose.

"The servants I trained were rude to you? And what right do you have to make decisions in this family? Are you not aware that you're the last person in this family to be put into consideration based on age and hierarchy?" Grandfather Fu asked.

FangSu was tongue-tied and didn't know how to reply but she started crying and begging her old man again when Butler Lu handed the thick cane to him.

"Grandfather I'm sorry, I don't know what got over me! I promise to apologize to Sister-in-law and Brother." FangSu pleaded as she cried out in a good voice.

"You want to tell your brother about it? Fine go ahead but receive your punishment first! Stretch out your palms!" Grandfather Fu said to her angrily as he stretched the cane towards her.

FangSu was so scared that she refused to stretch her palms out, so the servants helped her out.

"Hold her shoulders down and hold out her hands." Butler Lu instructed from the side.

The rest of the families were already worried in one way or the other, as they couldn't see what was happening inside.

In no time they began to hear FangSu's loud cries and the sound of a cane hitting her palms. Fu Hee was so shocked that she wanted to barge into the study but Fu ChunHua pulled her back in time.

"Can you bear the consequences?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smile. She was very happy that FangSu was getting punished because that little brat has been rude to her since she returned.

Fu Hee hit her hands off and stared at the tightly shut doors of the study. She couldn't tolerate her dearest child being hit and there was nothing she could do about it. This was so heartbreaking to hear.

Fu Meixu was all smiles as she chipped in from the side, "FangSu must have committed a huge crime this time around and I think it has something to do with Cousin-in-law."

Fu Hee immediately turned and asked impatiently, "Do you know what happened? Tell me about it quickly."

"Aunty, I never said I know what happened, I was only making guesses. We all know that FangSu has been punished before for going against Jia Li and for her to receive a beating this time around, she must have done something more. I really pity her."

After saying that, Fu Meixu strode away with a smile on her face.

Fu Hee's heart couldn't stop beating at a fast rate. She didn't know what to make of Meixu's words but it had a very high chance of being true.

'SuSu, what have you done?!' Fu Hee thought to herself as she wiped the tears off her face.

"Mum, there is no point in crying. You have to save the strength to treat SuSu's injuries." Fu YingPei reminded from the side.

"YingPei can you beg your grandfather or call your brother, I'm sure they will listen to you." Fu Hee held YingPei's hands and pleaded with him.

"Mum, how can you say that? I can't ask my brother for help as he is not in the country." Fu YingPei said as he pushed his mother's hands away with a frown.

He planned on retiring to sleep since he had a hectic day at work but it looks like he can't leave yet before his mother aggravates the situation.

"Mum, let's go back. Grandfather will not be happy to see us here." Fu YingPei said as he pulled his mother and left.

Fu Hee was very reluctant to leave but she had no choice. When they got to the sitting room, they met Fu Meixu who was sitting there and eating an Apple without a care of what was going on.

As Fu Hee settled down on the couch with tears in her eyes, Fu Meixu said to her, "Aunty, you should eat something because it's going to be a long night."
