Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 861: Chapter 25: 守哲 Sternly Scolds Liu Ruolan_2

“Don’t cry, don’t cry~” Wang Shouzhe gently rubbed Wang Ying Xuan’s head with a sigh, “You are still young with a playful heart, and it is normal to lack self-control. Grandfather doesn’t blame you. If anyone is to blame, it is your father for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.”

After he spoke, Wang Shouzhe’s gaze turned and he coldly said to the family head, “Has everybody not eaten enough? Make sure every strike counts. Whoever dares to let this failure of a father off easy, I will make sure they do not have it easy.”

The household heads, with a shiver in their hearts, dared not hold back any longer and hurriedly increased their strength, almost going all out as if their lives depended on it.

“Smack, smack, smack!”

Each strike caused the ground around them to tremble faintly.

After a few more strikes, Wang Zongrui finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He cried out in pain but dared not resist with Mysterious Energy in front of his father’s family discipline.

“Mother, mother~” Mrs. Fang, her face pale with horror, her heart aching, pleaded with Liu Ruolan, “Mother, you love your husband the most, please beg for mercy for him. If this continues, my husband’s life will be in danger.”

Liu Ruolan also felt it was too much and said angrily, “Wang Shouzhe, Zongrui has been obedient from childhood, never defying you. Even though he was somewhat negligent this time regarding Yuxuan’s matter, he is after all your and my son. A few symbolic strikes should suffice. If you continue to beat him, don’t blame me for turning against you.”

Knowing the mother’s status, the heads immediately stopped their rods.

Mrs. Fang also secretly sighed in relief, her heart eased. With her mother-in-law intervening, her husband was saved.

But unexpectedly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe glared coldly at Liu Ruolan and snorted in anger, “Hmph, the overly kind mother spoils the child. Isn’t Zongrui’s current state a result of your usual indulgence? This wretch can’t even control his daughter, what good can he be? It would be better to beat him to death, and you shall not interfere in this matter anymore, stay aside.”

Liu Ruolan trembled with rage, “Wang Shouzhe, you dare to treat me harshly? Fine, fine… Wang Shouzhe, since you despise me so much, I might as well return to the Liu Family and leave you in peace…”

“Hmph, unreasonable. Go back if you want to!” Wang Shouzhe also seemed enraged, for once not backing down. He turned his head and instructed the family heads, “What are you standing there for? Do you also wish to defy the orders of your family head?”

The household heads were truly frightened.

Having served as household heads for decades, this was the first time they had seen the family head reprimand the mother so severely. At this point, they dared not delay any longer and hurriedly resumed their strikes.

“I can’t stay in this house any longer! Wang Shouzhe, I will wait for your divorce notice at the Liu Family…” Liu Ruolan became furious with shame.

“Mother, mother, don’t be impulsive, it was just father’s angry words, please don’t take it to heart.” Mrs. Fang, too, turned pale with fright.

The situation had become so intense even her in-laws were fighting so fiercely; she, no matter how much she pitied her husband, dared not persuade anymore.

Especially the phrase “the overly kind mother spoils the child,” which also caused Mrs. Fang’s heart to tremble.

Yuxuan’s personality developing to this extent today, her poor results all had something to do with her indulgence, and the spoiling of her by the many relatives of the maternal Fang Family.

At this moment, the one most terrified was Wang Ying Xuan.

Such a scene, she had neither seen nor even imagined before, and she was so scared that she didn’t even dare to cry any longer, much less beg her grandfather for mercy.

At this moment, the only thought in her mind was: It’s all over, it’s all over. With father being beaten like this, will there be any good days for me in the future?

Fifty rods, solidly delivered, not one missed.

Wang Zongrui’s back was already lacerated and bloody, a ghastly sight. Blood trailed down his back to the ground, and his face and forehead were coated with a cold sweat from pain, his complexion extremely pale.

He also didn’t dare to seek treatment and just shakily dressed himself, bowed to Wang Shouzhe and said, “Son thanks father for the lesson. I will bear this lesson in mind and never repeat the mistake.”

“Since you have learned your lesson, rise then,” said Wang Shouzhe lightly. “However, later you still need to treat the wounds to avoid any long-lasting damage.”

“Thank you, father, for your compassion.”

Only then did Wang Zongrui dare to stand up and bow deeply to Wang Shouzhe again.

Then, he coldly glanced at the terrified Wang Ying Xuan, “Father, your son has some private matters to deal with at home, please allow me to take my leave.”

Wang Ying Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, immediately sensing trouble.

She turned to run, but was caught by her father, Wang Zongrui, who grabbed her and hoisted her upside down, making her struggles futile.

To this, Wang Shouzhe, while sipping Immortal Tea, looked on indifferently: “Rui’er, go handle your matters.”

“Son takes his leave.”

After speaking, Wang Zongrui walked off, holding Wang Ying Xuan upside down, his face grim, striding towards his own courtyard.

Mrs. Fang, seeing this, immediately paled even more.

She rushed back in a panic after bowing to Liu Ruolan and Wang Shouzhe. With such urgency, if she delayed even a moment longer, her beloved daughter might indeed end up beaten to death by her husband.

As a legitimate second son, Wang Zongrui’s courtyard was not far from Wang Shouzhe’s, just about a few dozen yards away.

Shortly after, his courtyard echoed with Wang Ying Xuan’s screams, flickering between wails like a ghost and promises such as “Father, I won’t dare again,” “I will study well, and not be naughty” among other pleas and promises.
