"I …" Mu Jin bit his lips, and did not take another step into the Ancestral Hall, but he did not retreat either, and stood there helplessly.

But Li Weinuan's heart was burning with anxiety.

She blocked in front of Li Shusi, "Mom, stop hitting them, if you continue, they're going to die."

"Go stay at the side. If I don't beat him to death today, I won't be able to explain it to the old and young on the Road to River Styx."

Li Weinuan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, she pulled back her mother and pleaded: "Mom, please stop, don't hit them again, what happened that year has nothing to do with second brother, Mu Jin is also innocent, please don't blame them."

Mu Jin's expression froze.

What exactly did she do to make the Madame Li hate her to this extent?

Li Shusi's eyes instantly dimmed, and she said to Li Weinuan while enduring the pain: "Throw Mu Xiaojin out, hurry up."

Li Weinuan had yet to react, but Li Mu had already taken the lead, "What, even now, you do not dare to let her know, so you still want to protect her?!"

The man's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as his face paled. "Mother …"

The Madame Li used the hand that was holding the whip to point at Mu Jin with a trembling finger, "If her brother didn't watch her die that year, my miserable daughter wouldn't have died! She came back for you, and died because of you. You actually married the enemy's sister, do you want to anger me to death! "

"Mother …"

"Shut up! Although our Li Family cannot use morals to kidnap others, our Mu Family have long been blacklisted. One day, when I am alive, the Li Family and Mu Family will not be able to interact at all. "

Mu Jin was shocked.

He was scared senseless by Li Mu's words.

She dumbfoundedly watched as Madame Li flung Li Weinuan's hand away. He swung the whip in his hand, which had already been stained by the man's specks of blood all over his body.

"If the Li Family doesn't destroy the Mu Family, then it's already considered kind of you to actually dare to marry the daughter of the Mu Family into the sect. Then, you will walk over my corpse."

Li Shusi did not resist, he only raised his head to look at Mu Jin, and as expected, the woman's face turned white in an instant.

He frowned, and the whip continued to fall on his body. It was extremely painful.

But he never said a word.

This was what he deserved.

It was a punishment from someone who liked Mu Jin.

Mu Jin's blood felt as if it was frozen solid.

She did not think, did not even dare to think.

There was such a huge gap between her and Li Shusi, and her brother just didn't save him even after seeing him die. How was it possible that he had caused the death of Li Shusi's little sister?!

Mu Jin wanted to stop her mother, but her legs were no longer controlled by her brain, and were unable to move at all.

Li Weinuan hugged her mother with both hands, wanting her to stop her beating hands, "Please let go of Second Brother and Mu Jin."

However, his mother kicked him away, "Scram, since you are the one I brought back from the orphanage to raise, then don't elbow your way out to help the people from Mu Family speak up."

Li Weinuan's eyes were filled with tears, she endured the pain and kneeled at Li Mu's feet, "It's fine if you want to beat or curse, I beg you, please don't blame second brother anymore."

At this moment, Li Mu's mother had already lost control. Seeing her adopted daughter block him like this, she swung the whip in her hand towards her.

Seeing that Li Weinuan was about to get beaten up, Li Shusi's pupils shrank as he pulled her aside and pulled her aside.

The whip of Li Mu's mother landed heavily on the ground.

Li Shusi said, "You don't need to worry about it, go out immediately."

Li Weinuan no longer stopped Madame Li, but stood at the side and did not leave.

She was worried for her second brother Li Shusi.

As the adopted daughter of the Li Family, Li Weinuan understood his mother's personality very well.

Mother Li had always been a strict person, especially towards her second brother.

Ever since she entered the Li family and became an adopted daughter, every time Li Shusi made a mistake, she would be punished to kneel at her father's memorial tablet.

Second brother, since he was young, he had been whipped countless times because of his mistakes.

Every time he fought, he would have to fight until his mother's anger subsided.

Madame Li was so angry that his eyes turned red. He raised his whip and swung it fiercely at his own son.

Mu Jin's face became even paler, no one knew where this power came from, but with a few steps, it rushed over and with its back towards Madame Li, its frail and frail body blocked Li Shusi's front.

The strength of the whip was too strong, and a long cut appeared on the clothes on Mu Jin's back.

Threads of blood seeped into the woman's snow-white shirt. The woman was in so much pain that her face creased into a frown, and she tightly clenched her teeth, not daring to make a sound.

Li Shusi's originally expressionless face instantly changed color, "Mu Xiaojin..."

Mu Jin glanced at him, her arm was still wrapped in gauze, but it was tightly protecting Li Shusi with her back facing Li Mu.

"Madame Li, please don't blame him, don't beat him up again. I forced him to marry me. "

How could mother Li be willing to listen? She had long hated people from the Mu Family to the extreme.

Now, the daughter of Mu Family rushed in front of him, wanting to beat him to death.

The Madame Li raised his whip angrily and swung it at Mu Jin.

To Mu Jin, no matter how much the Madame Li disliked her, she would still be an elder to him.

Besides, she was willing to take on the responsibility of marriage if it could not be forgiven.

Just as the whip was about to land on Mu Jin's body, the light in Li Shusi's eyes tightened and he grabbed onto the whip that his mother had swung at him with half kneeling.

"Mother, stop hitting me."

Mother Li did not swing her whip, and was so angry that her whole body was trembling, "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to rebel? "

Just then, the Grandma Li heard the news and from his room, he walked into the Ancestral Hall with a walking stick.

Seeing that, Li Weinuan immediately went forward to support her, "Grandma, you're finally here. Look at second brother, he's covered in wounds. "

Grandma Li glanced at the young man and woman who had been whipped, and a deep frown appeared on his benevolent face.

"Stop."

She picked up her crutch and pounded it on the floor.

The old lady thumped on the floor. "He's your son, yes, but he's also my grandson. Even if he committed a huge mistake, you can't hit him like this. If you want to beat him again, just beat me to death first. "

"Mom!"

Old Madam Li glared at her. Madame Li did not dare to offend her, so he threw his whip in anger and left.

Inside the Ancestral Hall, Grandma Li squinted his eyes as he looked at his normally obedient grandson.

All along, her grandson had always maintained a filial image in front of his mother.

He had never talked back with Madame Li before, and had never rebelled against him for some reason.

Today, her obedient grandson had actually rebelled against his mother for the sake of the little girl from Mu Family.

The bloody wounds on his body made the old man's heart ache.

He finally understood it in his heart and came to a decision.

Old Madam Li's shrewd eyes were filled with kindness as she said, "Si Ma, bring the Mu Family girl to apply the medicine."

"Thank you, Grandma." Li Shusi slowly stood up, her cold lips pressed tightly together as she supported Mu Jin up the stairs towards the room.

Grandma Li glanced at Mu Jin's back, as if he had thought of something.

She knew about her own daughter-in-law. No matter how much you dislike Mu Family people, you will not make a move against Mu Family people.

She asked Li Weinuan in a low voice, "What happened to the injuries on the Mu Family girl's body?"

Li Weinuan gently whispered into the old man's ear: "When Mu Jin just came in, he saw his mother and brother using whips to protect your brother, so he took a lash from mother."

The old man nodded slightly, "This girl has some friendship with your second brother."

Li Weinuan also nodded slightly.

Grandma Li started to like Mu Jin more in his heart.

She knew how to protect her grandson. This girl wasn't bad.

Upstairs, in Li Shusi's room.

Mu Jin frowned slightly as he looked at the man bending over to rummage through the medicine box. There were more than ten whip scars on his body, which were truly shocking.

His face was pale as he rummaged through the medicine box for ointment.

Then, with a cold face, he straightened his body and pulled Mu Jin over, allowing her to sit with her back facing him.

The man's gaze fell onto the gauze covering the wound on the woman's right arm. There were still traces of blood on it.

He frowned, "Did you not apply the medicine on the Mu Family back then?"

Yesterday, he had sent the medicine to the Secretary Li s and sent it to their Mu Family but she had obviously not used any medicines during her current injury.

Mu Jin was originally afraid of the pain, and now that the pain was so intense that she didn't want to speak anymore, she replied as before: "I haven't returned yet."

The wound on the woman's arm had not healed yet, and a new wound had been added to her back.

Li Shusi quietly pulled open the torn back of Mu Jin's shirt. The deep whip mark on her back revealed what was in front of his eyes.

His brows were furrowed even more, and his eyes were unfathomable.

He unscrewed the cap of the ointment and took out an iodine stick from the medicine cabinet.

Slowly, he treated the woman's wounds. His movements were soft and gentle.

But Mu Jin still gasped from the pain, he looked at her again and his movements became even softer.

After carefully cleaning the wound, he changed a cotton stick and applied ointment to the woman.

Threads of coldness spread onto Mu Jin's back, the pain from the whip wounds gradually lessened.

Li Shusi's cold words sounded next to the woman's ears, "Next time, don't meddle in other people's business. "Hurt yourself, I still have to apply medicine for you."

Mu Jin did not refute him.

At this moment, she felt a bit of gratitude towards this man.

He had more injuries than she had.

She was already in such pain from the whip. He had so many wounds on his body, but they all ignored his own pain and started applying medicine on her.

The effect of the ointment was surprisingly good, and the pain from the wound on the woman's back gradually weakened.

Mu Jin slowly turned his head, and looked at the man behind him, "Just now, was what your mother said true?"

Li Shusi stopped for a moment when he saw the hand that was smearing the medicine on her.

His eyes were clear and cold, and his voice was slightly cold. "Yes."
