Je suis née beauté, et je suis suprême

Chapitre 97

With a thick skin, he flicked his robe and put his hands behind his back: "Come to the study."

After he finished speaking, he walked away. I watched his retreating figure, wondering what had gotten into him. I grabbed a maid at random and asked, "Is Fourth Young Master here?"

The young girl dodged me, saying in a trembling voice, "Fourth Young Master has also been looking for you. He's probably with Fifteenth Madam now."

"Call him over."

"yes."

What did that old geezer want from me? I walked into the study, and he stood at the head of the table, sternly saying, "Kneel down!"

I'd have to be out of my mind to kneel before you. I stood ramrod straight and asked, "Speak?"

"Shen Ziyi, kneel down."

"No time."

"This is rebellion! Guards!"

What do you want to do?!

"I'm going to make you understand who's in charge in this family. You almost cost me my job yesterday in court. Don't you have any brains? Guards!"

After he finished shouting, seven or eight burly men swarmed over: "Guard the door."

"Yes, sir."

"Kneel down. Today I am teaching you a lesson in front of our ancestors. Don't say I didn't give you face."

"Why should I? You've never cared about me since I was a child. What right do you have to lecture me!"

He took a long whip from the shelf and roared angrily, "I'll show you today why I have no right to tell you what to do. Kneel down."

I stubbornly raised my head and refused.

"Good! Good! Men, seize him."

Seven or eight people rushed towards me without giving way. This was no game, no joke. They pressed down on my shoulders and shoved me to the ground.

They are not Qian Qing, so their strength will not take my feelings into account.

The person in front of me isn't Chou Qian, and certainly not the target of my tantrums.

This time I truly admit defeat and kneel down.

"You almost made me the laughingstock yesterday! Did I raise you so you could lead our Shen family to utter ruin?!"

His long whip, accompanied by his furious roar in the court, struck me.

I gritted my teeth and let him hit me. If he had the guts, he could kill me, otherwise I would never let him get away with it.

I knelt upright and took both of his lashes head-on.

"Shen Ziyi, I was able to give birth to you, so I can teach you a lesson."

I ignored him completely; the pain in my back was excruciating.

After so many years of living a life of luxury, I've almost forgotten where my pain nerves are. I chuckled to myself, realizing I'd been lectured by the most unlikely person.

Qianqing, if I had known, I would have given you a hundred lashes back then.

I forced myself to endure the blows of his whip. I tried to ignore the excruciating pain, and when the first drop of blood dripped from my back, I almost laughed out loud. What a pain!

Just as I was about to lose my temper, Zi Mo burst through the door: "Dad! What are you doing!"

Zi Mo grabbed the whip that was swinging down again, protecting me and saying, "If there's a problem, we can all solve it together. There's no need to take it out on Eleven!"

The old man's face turned ashen with anger. "They've already rebelled! Fourth brother, when did you become so stubborn and inflexible!"

"Forgive my rudeness, Father, but I cannot understand your actions today. I will take my leave now."

Zi Mo didn't even look at him, picked me up, swept away the scoundrel who was pressing down on me, and left the place I never wanted to set foot in again.

Zi Mo asked worriedly, "Are you feeling alright?"

I looked at him, and it seemed like I was always making him worry, always making him think about me.

Zi Mo, is your sacrifice purely altruistic?

Zi Mo, are you feeling lost and helpless?

Zimo, do you feel that my life is absurd?

Zi Mo, if I were to die and be reborn, would you recognize me in the vast sea of people?

Zi Mo?

Zi Mo. All I can do for you is to make sure you don't regret it. I saved that child for you. Do you hate me?

“Zi Mo…”

"Fourth Brother is here."

“Send me back; my mother has a way.”

"Okay, okay." Zi Mo quickly carried me back.

My mother stared at me blankly. Had she not seen me so happy in a long time? I'm sorry, I made you worry again.
