“Kneel over there!”

After hearing Fang Rui’er’s incoherent explanation, Mrs. Luo raised her hand and pointed at the empty space at the side.

“Mother, my sister didn’t do it on purpose this time. Why don’t you punish her with something else this time?!”

Although Fang Liu also felt that Fang Rui’er’s actions were very inappropriate, Fang Rui’er was a young girl after all. Mrs. Luo wanted to punish her so severely in front of outsiders…

It was too embarrassing. A little girl like her might not be able to withstand it!

“Punish her with something else? Will she remember if I punish her with something else?!” Mrs. Luo glanced at Fang Rui’er, whose eyes were red. She had no intention of compromising.

“Didn’t we instruct her before this?!

But look, did she listen?!

I’ve told her to think about the consequences before doing anything, but what about her? When has she ever listened to my advice?! Is this the first time I’ve instructed her not to tell anyone about Little White, or the first time you’ve reminded her?!

How much trouble has there been in the refugee camp? What if the news that Liu Niang is raising a tiger spreads? What trouble would it bring? Didn’t I tell her previously?!

But look, it had only been a few days, and she has already forgotten about it!

Since speaking to her nicely doesn’t make her learn her lesson, I’ll use another method! This time, making her kneel will only let her suffer embarrassment. It’s better than her causing trouble and losing her life next time!

“Just think about it. How did the Du family get into trouble?!”

Mrs. Luo didn’t intend to spoil Fang Rui’er.

On the first day they discovered Little White, both Lin Suisui and her mother had reminded her more than once to keep news about Little White as secret as possible.

What was the situation outside now? If things went wrong, people would die!

This girl had agreed to it at that time, but she forgot about it right after!

“How many times have I told you that Miss Zhu is too scheming. You’re too honest, so don’t get too close to her. If you have anything to say to her, it’s best to just say it!

But what about you? Did you listen?!”

Since she had said this, Mrs. Luo didn’t intend to end things just like that. She stared at Fang Rui’er, who was kneeling on the ground with tears flowing down her face. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.

“She’s most likely the one who instigated this matter, right?!

Don’t blame me for being ruthless! It’s time for you to learn your lesson! Today, I’ll let you kneel in this lee and think about it carefully. If you do it again in the future, kneel outside!”

“Mother, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong.”

This was the first time Fang Rui’er had seen her mother speak to her so sternly. Moreover, it was the first time her mother had punished her so mercilessly.

She held it in for a long time, but in the end, she couldn’t help but cry out.

However, at this moment, Mrs. Luo was determined to teach her a lesson. Naturally, she ignored Fang Rui’er, who was crying beside her. She stood up and walked to the ox cart. Then, she said to Lin Suisui, who had hidden inside the ox cart when Mrs. Luo started to punish Fang Rui’er, “I didn’t teach my daughter well. My indulgence caused her to make such a mistake.

“Please forgive us. If anything happens in the future because of this matter, our entire family is willing to do our best to remedy it.”

Mrs. Luo could naturally understand what Fang Rui’er had not thought of.

Raising a tiger in the refugee camp was a big deal.

What they were most afraid of was that someone would try to cause trouble! Their team was divided so easily. Actually, many people had been envious of them for a long time!

Fortunately,Liu Niang had always been careful, and Gu Erlang wasn’t easily swayed!

Therefore, although many people had been envious of the couple for a long time, it was really difficult to find fault with them.

If it was really used as leverage this time…

Even if it wasn’t a big deal, it was more or less disgusting to have people take advantage of them!

“You’re too polite. Rui’er didn’t mean to do it,” Lin Suisui said to Mrs. Luo very politely through the curtain. She responded to her apology but didn’t plead for Fang Rui’er.

She could hear clearly through the curtain that she wasn’t the only one who had mentioned these instructions. Mrs. Luo and the others probably mentioned them too.

But Fang Rui’er didn’t listen.

Or rather, she didn’t take it seriously!

To put it nicely, she was naive. To put it bluntly, she didn’t think before she spoke!

In a peaceful era, such mistakes might be harmless, but in this politically unstable period, her innocence might really cost someone their life.

“She’s still young. Teach her well. She definitely won’t do it again in the future!

“We’ve all been a child once. After we make mistakes and suffer because of them, we naturally understand what we can and can’t do!”

Lin Suisui lifted the curtain and moved out of the carriage with a smile. She looked at Mrs. Luo calmly and sincerely as she said, “Don’t be too angry. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.”

“She—”

Mrs. Luo was about to say something when she saw Lin Suisui suddenly raise a finger to her lips. She quickly shut her mouth. Not long after, she heard a flurry of footsteps approaching. Excited and anxious voices quickly sounded outside. “Madam Liu, Madam Liu, I heard from Rui’er that you have a tiger cub here. Is that true?!”

“Madam Liu, we’ve never seen what a tiger looks like. Can we see it too?!”

“That’s right. This is such a novel thing. We just want to see it to broaden our horizons!”

The women outside were chattering nonstop. Although they were excited, no one dared to lift the curtain and enter.

Lin Suisui and Mrs. Luo looked at each other. Mrs. Luo looked apologetic and was so ashamed that she wanted to hide. Lin Suisui, on the other hand, looked calm. She reached out and patted Mrs. Luo’s hand gently to comfort her. Then, she turned to the group of young ladies outside the curtain and said, “You guys actually took her joke seriously?!

At this moment, we can barely fill our stomachs. How can we have the ability to raise a tiger?!

A few days ago, when I entered the mountain, my husband accidentally encountered an injured mountain cat, so he brought it back for me to keep as a companion. However, this mountain cat was indeed a wild animal!

It ran away in less than two days after recovering!

Why do you think Rui’er was so sad and depressed? It was because the lynx ran away!”
