A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family-Chapter 9

Testifying

Although Tan Zhao hadn’t treated her nicely before, Chu Mei knew very well that if she established ties with the Tan family, she would be well-off. Therefore, she went forward to show her concern for Tan Zhao.

“Are you okay? Madam is really rough. She shouldn’t have hit you, let alone hit you so hard.”

It would have been better if she hadn’t mentioned it. The moment she did, Tan Zhao knew that the sound of him being beaten was probably heard by them.

Tan Zhao gritted his teeth and straightened his body. He pretended to be fine. “I’m fine. Madam wasn’t rough. I was the one who was unreasonable.”

Chu Mei was speechless. Tan Zhao didn’t want to interact too much with her, so without looking at her, he left the Shi family’s home with the assistant who had been sent to pick him up.

The atmosphere in the conference room was also very awkward.

Shi Bin had never been alone with his “sister-in-law” before.

In his memory, this woman who had used all sorts of tricks to marry his brother had caused every family banquet to end on bad terms. She was like a chihuahua with mania. No one could coexist peacefully with her.

But today, not only did Yuan Shu go to the police station to pick him up, but she also helped him teach Tan Zhao a lesson and avenge him. This was too out of the ordinary.

Just as Shi Bin’s thoughts were running wild, Yuan Shu unbuckled her belt and whipped Shi Bin’s butt.

Damn it! It hurt so much!

Shi Bin, who was caught off guard, was beaten onto the table. He finally understood why Tan Zhao had only suffered two whips before tears flowed.

This was simply torturing! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was like skinning and pulling out one’s tendons! He felt as if a layer of his flesh had been shaved off!

Shi Bin gritted his teeth. “Why did you hit me?!”

Yuan Shu took her time and found a suitable spot to stand behind him.

“I hit him because he bullied you, he cursed, and disrespected the Shi family.”

“I hit you to teach you the rules. The first whip just now was because you chose to solve the problem in such a despicable way. You didn’t care about the reputation of the Shi family at all.”

Yuan Shu raised her hand again and whipped exactly the same spot.

“The second whip is because you have no respect for your elders. I’m your sister-in-law, so you shouldn’t shout at me.”

Shi Bin endured the pain of the second whip and didn’t shout.

His mind was in a mess. He didn’t like his sister-in-law. In the past, not to mention lying on the table obediently while being whipped, he would quarrel with her almost every time he saw Yuan Shu.

But today, Yuan Shu went to the police station to pick him up and helped him teach Tan Zhao a lesson so that he could apologize to him. After Shi Bin thought about it, he didn’t hate Yuan Shu as much as before.

At this moment, Yuan Shu spoke again.

“These two whips are to tell you the reason why you were beaten up. The next few whips are for you to remember the mistakes and rules. Don’t make them again in the future.” With that said, the belt continuously whipped Shi Bin’s butt.

Shi Bin didn’t resist anymore and obediently laid on the table to be punished.

After she whipped him ten times, Yuan Shu stopped. This time, she threw her belt aside and went out to call for a family doctor.

Shi Bin only got up from the table when he heard the sound of the belt hitting the ground. His butt was almost numb from the beating and he only felt a burning pain.

“It’s over?”

When he was being beaten, Shi Bin didn’t make a sound. But when he spoke, he realized that his voice was extremely hoarse and had a nasal sound. He didn’t sound imposing at all. Instead, he sounded like he was wheedling, so Shi Bin’s body stiffened for a moment.

Yuan Shu pretended not to notice it. “We’re family. I just taught you a lesson, so remember the pain. Or do you want to do it a few more times?”

Hearing that she was going to do it again, Shi Bin subconsciously reached out to cover his butt, but stopped halfway.

If he covered his butt, it would seem as if he was afraid of her. Wasn’t it just a little painful? He would be a changed man soon!

However… his family’s words were like a small stone that caused ripples in his heart, causing him to forget to remind Yuan Shu that she wasn’t a member of the Shi family, as he usually did.

Yuan Shu watched as the doctor came up and pointed at Shi Bin. “Check his injury. Treat his forehead and the corner of his mouth carefully so that there won’t be a scar. Check the other areas carefully too. Make sure his muscles and bones aren’t hurt.”

Shi Bin, who had just come back to his senses, blushed. He knew that she was referring to the wound on his butt caused by the belt. He looked up in embarrassment and met Yuan Shu’s teasing smile.

“You can go call Tan Zhao ‘Daddy’. I’ll be your witness.”
