C497 Ruthlessness
Was it a blessing to go to the temple for a year?
Hearing the news, Zhong Qing dropped to her knees with a loud thump, begging Old Man Liu not to send Liu Zhilan to the temple. She would teach her well, and would never let her do such a thing again.
What kind of place was the temple? How could his daughter stay there?
By the time she returned, who knew what would happen?
Others might not feel sorry for her, but as a mother, how could she bear it?
Seeing that Zhong Qing had kneeled down, Liu Zhilan also kneeled down, begging Old Man Liu not to send her away.
She was still so young, how could she bear the poverty of the temple?
Grandfather was too cruel.
Old Man Liu hardened his heart, and resolutely ignored the mother and daughter pair's pleas. He made up his mind that he would definitely send Liu Zhilan to the home temple.
"Dad, this punishment is too heavy. Xiaolan is still so young, how can she withstand it?" Zhong Qing continued to beg Old Man Liu, "Father, I will teach Xiao Lan a good lesson. I will let her copy 99 scriptures for me, and pray for her blessings.
"I can't .." Old Man Liu interrupted Zhong Qing, not wanting to hear her plead for Liu Zhilan again, "With her personality, she would be able to take responsibility even if she committed a crime at home. If she committed a crime outside, who would be able to protect her? The reason I let her stay in the temple for a year is for her own good. For the sake of her personality, don't act so recklessly. "
If there came a day when she offended the royalty, not only would she lose her life, but she would also implicate the Liu Family.
In order to prevent these things from happening, it was necessary to change her character.
After this lesson, she would think twice before acting. She didn't dare to act rashly.
The second brother's family, and you, after knowing that Lan had made a mistake, not only did you not teach her a lesson or point out her mistake, you even lied to her and pushed the mistake onto someone else's head. Old Man Liu looked at Zhong Qing with a serious expression, "All of the above are vile. For this reason, you will be fined a year's worth of silver, and be grounded for half a year."
Their punishment for being pushed into the lotus pond was quite light.
His grandson didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he avoided this matter and left the matter to him.
If the grandson had to deal with it personally, the punishment would be even heavier.
He knew that once he touched his grandson's reverse scale, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
Hearing Old Man Liu's words, Zhong Qing fiercely bit his lower lip, and agreed.
She knew that no matter how much she begged, it would be useless. It would be better not to beg, and with a serious attitude, not to object to Old Man Liu's punishment, and let him change his opinion of her.
Indeed, after seeing Zhong Qing agree, Old Man Liu's expression slowed down. He stood up and walked out.
Just as he was about to walk out of the door, he turned around and glanced at Zhong Qing, telling them not to go and plead with Liu Zhimo and the others. Because of this, they had already left the Liu Family and were no longer staying in the Liu Family.
If this had not happened, his grandson would not have left the Liu Family so resolutely.
After all, this was still Liu Zhilan's fault.
He gave a deep glance at Liu Zhilan, allowing her to take it easy as she turned her head and walked out of the parlour with large strides.
Liu Zhimo and the others left the Liu Family?
Zhong Qing was stunned by the news. She did not understand why Liu Zhimo and the others left the Liu Family.
Why did he leave?
Shouldn't they stay and watch them be punished? Wouldn't that make him even happier?
Zhong Qing tilted her head as she thought for a moment. She couldn't think of anything else, so she tossed the matter to the back of her mind.
The most important thing was that she needed to think of a way to deal with the matter of her daughter going to the temple.
"Mother, what should we do? Am I really going to live in the temple for a year? " Liu Zhilan's heart was in a panic, she was very scared, her hands were tightly holding onto Zhong Qing's clothes, "Mother, please save your daughter, save your daughter .." If mother didn't save her, then no one would be able to save her.
Sighing slightly, Zhong Qing hugged her daughter tightly, telling her not to panic. She tried to think of a way to see if it could change Old Man Liu's mind.
Perhaps it was because of the sense of security Zhong Qing gave him, that allowed Liu Zhilan's panicked heart to calm down for a bit. She quietly said that, whether or not she could go and beg Fourth Brother, on the basis of the fact that it was her own siblings, he shouldn't be too fussy.
"Didn't you hear what your grandfather said? Liu Zhimo will no longer stay in the Liu Family. He has moved to another place and no longer lives at home.
"Then... Then mother, you can send someone to look for her and have Xiaoxiao plead with Grandfather for help. It might be useful. "
Grandfather loves this little novel so much that he will definitely listen to it.
Looking at her daughter's hopeful eyes, Zhong Qing nodded his head helplessly and pulled her to the fourth room, wanting to plead with Liu Zhimo and the others?
Unexpectedly, when they arrived, the fourth room was already empty.
Liu Zhimo and the others truly left.
Their speed was extremely fast. As soon as they packed up their things, they immediately rode a horse carriage to the manor.
He would not give anyone a chance to plead with him.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao had completely forgotten about falling into the lotus pond. She excitedly lifted the curtains and looked outside, looking at the scenery outside.
Soon, she would be able to see them.
After not seeing them for so long, she was really worried about them.
"Father, will we be living in the manor from now on?" She didn't like living in the Liu Family. She didn't like it at all.
She felt that the Liu Family was not like a family at all, which made her feel conflicted.
If her father had not persuaded her, she would not have stayed at the Liu Family for such a long time that she would not have been able to see them.
Now that she was out, she didn't want to go back.
Liu Zhimo shook his head, he said that after he got his position, he would have to return to the city to live.
It was impossible for them to stay in the manor for their entire lives. They would definitely return to the city, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to join the circle of people in the capital.
Hearing this, her little shoulders slumped and she pouted. She didn't want to go back, she just wanted to stay in the manor.
Liu Zhimo let out a light breath, pulled her closer, hugged her into his arms, and started to explain to her in a soft voice.
Xiaoxiao was a very reasonable and good child. As long as he could reason with her, she would not continue to cause trouble.
"Alright then. Let's go back to the city when father comes down from his position!" The little girl let out a huge sigh and reluctantly nodded. "However, if Little Treasure thinks about living in the manor for a while, then Daddy and Mommy are not allowed to stop Little Miss, okay?"
This was equivalent to exchanging terms with them.
Liu Zhimo glanced at Li Qingling, and after seeing him nodding slightly, he laughed out loud.
Hearing that, Xiaoxiao grinned happily as she sweetly said, "Daddy is so nice."
Just as she finished speaking, Li Qingling shot her a glance and said, Mother, isn't that good?
"Alright, mother is the best." She stretched out her small hand and gently patted Li Qingling's stomach, "Brother, sister is also very good."
Li Qingling lifted his head and pinched her nose, smiling. How did she know it was his little brother and sister? Maybe two younger brothers or two younger sisters.
Her little mouth pouted again, saying that she knew it was her little brother and sister. Then, she slowly approached Li Qingling's stomach and whispered to it.
Seeing this, Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling laughed.
They believed that Xiaoxiao would be a very good elder sister, a good elder sister who cherished her younger brother and sister.
When they reached the manor, they knew that they were here and ran out excitedly.
When Xiaoxiao and the others got off the car, they would surround them and shout loudly.
"Dot, Dew, Little White, Wolf, I miss you guys so much, do you miss me?" Xiaoxiao hugged them one by one and giggled.
and Ah Huang nodded their heads in agreement.
Even Ao Jiao's Wolf King missed her after not seeing her for so long.
Crouching down in front of the tiny figure, he turned his head to look at her and let her climb up his back. He carried her inside.
Xiaoxiao climbed up without a word. After sitting down, she let out a howl and quickly ran into the house.
After running to the backyard, it excitedly asked Xiaoxiao, "Do you want to go up the mountain to play?"
Thinking, how could he not?
However, he had to get his mother's permission before doing that.
"You have to ask your mother. If your mother doesn't agree, then you can't go up."
Hearing that, she nodded her head in compromise before asking Xiaoxiao, "Will she be leaving this time?"
She shook her head. No, she might be back in town again in a while.
In an instant, his mood dropped.
He accompanied Little White as it grew up. Little Treasure had been gone for so long, and he had been thinking about it a lot.
He thought that he wouldn't be leaving this time around, but to think that he would be going as well.
Feeling its emotions, her little heart didn't feel good. She reached out her hand to stroke its fur and comforted it.
When his mood improved, he would ask him if he was used to living here.
"Awoo, awoo, awoo .." This place is also pretty good, there's a lot of food, but I haven't seen you for a long time, thinking...
If it wasn't because it couldn't bear to part with them, it wouldn't have come all the way to the capital with its parents.
"Then... Why don't we go up the mountain and hunt tomorrow? "I'll ask mother tomorrow. Mother should agree to it."
After saying that, he carried the small back door and walked out.
She was so shocked that she kept asking where it was going.
She mentioned that there was a small river nearby, and that the fish in the river were very delicious. It took her to catch some fish to eat.
Knowing that it wasn't just going up the mountain, Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
The river was not far from the manor, and once it had reached the river, it dropped into the water with a splash as soon as it was laid down on the bank.
"Hey, hey, hey, be careful, don't drown."
The tiny bit of response was that he spat out a large fish onto the shore with a 'pu' sound.
The big fish struggled desperately, throwing a lot of mud onto its tiny dress.
When he saw the fish, he climbed onto the shore angrily and stretched out his claw, killing the big fish.
After he finished, he looked at Xiaoxiao calmly, twisted his butt, and jumped back down.
"..."
He glanced at the unmoving fish and could not help but rub his forehead.
