CH 65

Thinking of her biological father, Su Lianxue was full of hatred while her body couldn’t stop trembling: “No! He is not my father. My father has long died on the road to escape from famine! No...... My father is you! It’s you! It’s the great general who defended the country!”

Neither a poor ghost living in a broken roof tile house nor a gambler who was chased twice every three days, nor the devil who sold her and her mother to a brothel in exchange for gambling money or the one who knew she was brought into the general’s residence and later became a bigger devil to extort his biological daughter who had become a Miss to enjoy her happiness and prosperous life.

In order to threaten Su Lianxue to take money from the residence for him to gamble, Su Lianxue’s father naturally seized her many secrets. Especially when she was a child and arguing with him, saying that her current life was hard-won. She accidentally revealed the fact that she sold the general’s true young miss.

Su Lianxue naturally knew her father recognized money, not people, but she didn’t expect the rice papers that exposed her crime were also his confession. Even if Su Lianxue had one hundred mouths, it was indisputable. But she was still unwilling to admit her own mistake. Tossing and screaming, saying that she was falsely accused.

Su Peixian looked at her coldly and found that he couldn’t understand her, but it was also as if he suddenly saw and understood her: “You were wronged, only Little Seven was treated unjustly.”

Finished speaking, he didn’t want to see her ugly face and didn’t want to listen to her noisy swearing again. Su Hongwei waved his big hand and said with anger in an impatient way: “Drag her out and hit 80 boards then hand her over to the local government to deal with. From now on, this woman has nothing to do with my Su family!”

(T/N: guanfu (官府), not sure about this so I just put local government. If anyone has seen it before let me know I’ll change it^^)

In this way, they just didn’t want this woman to die in the Su family, soiling the Su family’s courtyard and dirtying their hands. Besides, the Su family was respected for generations because of their very powerful military. It would never come from Su Lianxue in private, and the local government...... sent Su Lianxue to the local government. The Su family didn’t need to deal with her. The yamen was enough for her to suffer.

Not to mention, conspiring to murder a noble daughter, buying and selling people illegally was a serious crime.

“No!” Su Lianxue’s shrieking was broken. No matter how hard she struggled, she was still dragged out by the sturdy guards. They stripped off her wide-sleeved top embroidered with fine snowflakes and her first-class silk-tailored outer robe. She was pushed to the backyard with her clothes stripped off, pressed down, and beaten.

Taking away those gorgeous clothes was just like taking away Su Lianxue’s intensely proud identity. It wasn’t the guard who hit the board, but the soldiers that guarded the house. When the board hit down, Su Lianxue screamed in pain. She felt like her flesh was lacerated and her bones were about to be broken. Not to mention it was going to be 80 boards.

80 boards......

Normally, to punish the servant girls who have lost virtue were at most 30 big boards.

Su Lianxue felt like the Su family wanted to kill her alive.

However, after some time the servant came to report that after hitting 12 boards, Su Lianxue couldn’t hold on and passed out. Su Hongwei said, woke her up with water, and continued to hit. Splash water, if not wake up then use salt water. If still not awake then use chili water. The servant didn’t know what happened, but he thought the master was so terrible. He didn’t dare to ask much.

Su Hongwei also added: “Drag it further away so as not to pollute the pure hearing of the ancestors.”

Hence the servants dragged Su Lianxue, who was unconscious, further away.

Finally, Su Hongwei took off his top and knelt down in front of the ancestral memorial tablets. His gaze was firm as well as his voice loud and clear: “The array of Su family’s ancestors above. It was Hongwei who was unfilial, harmed Little Seven to fall outside, and suffered all kinds of hardships. Furthermore, he recognized the devil as a daughter and loved the enemy in every possible way. Hongwei is useless. It took 12 long years to find Little Seven back to share the family bonds. It’s Hongwei who is deaf and blind. For so many years, he hasn’t recognized the true face of the villain! Today, the truth has come to light. We welcome Little Seven’s return. I especially came here to ask the ancestors for my sins!”

After speaking, Su Hongwei had someone bring the family law. The military order was like a mountain. It was also carried out by the guards in his hand and his back was whipped with a string of thorns.

A few Su brothers didn’t dare to persuade, so they could only kneel alongside their father.

Shen Qi didn’t know about this. She greedily enjoyed the time with her mother. Her gaze was never on the items mother Su picked for her to make, but always looked at her own mother. Looking at these similar facial features to herself and looking at such a gentle and refined mother. Shen Qi felt like everything was unreal.

So speaking of which, if Shen Qi jumped to the clear sky then Su Lianxue over there fell into the chilly hell overnight.

After the 80 boards were over, she was almost a waste. Her flesh was lacerated and drenched with blood. It was probably too painful. She almost didn’t feel the pain from her waist down.

At night, she was sent to the local government along with the confessions.

She was lying in a cold, stenchy jail cell and from time to time, rats ran over her flesh lacerated buttocks. They even bury their heads to gnaw the flesh inside. The jail cell was full of stench, and even the food thrown by the jailer was rotten. After a night of dreams broke down, she lost everything, lost beautiful clothes, luxurious jewelry, elegant and fine big house, and the noble status she snatched that didn’t belong to her......

Su Lianxue thought she was too young to die in this cell but because of these injuries on her body, she was going to die in the jail cell. But she didn’t expect that being locked up in the jail cell was just the beginning of her nightmare......
