Shen Gui, who was still wearing his official uniform, strode into the hall. He must have rushed over after hearing the news about Shen Qing.

Seeing this, Ren Wanyun immediately cried even more miserably. “Master… Qing…”

The relationship between Ren Wanyun and Shen Gui was not that deep. Otherwise, Shen Gui would not have brought concubines into the house one by one. Even so, Shen Gui and Ren Wanyun still treated each other respectfully. For no other reason than the fact that Ren Wanyun could manage the entire Shen family well and was on good terms with the wives of his fellow officials, Shen Gui was quite satisfied with Ren Wanyun as a wife.

“Shen Miao!” Shen Gui turned his head and glared at the girl in the hall. He knew the reason why Ren Wanyun brought the three daughters of the Shen family to the Wolong Temple this time. Unexpectedly, the one who was humiliated was his daughter, Shen Qing. The servant who came to pass the message secretly told him that it was all Shen Miao’s fault. Although he found it unbelievable, he still had to take his anger out on someone. Since he could not take his anger out on the second branch, he would push all the blame to the first branch.

“You harmed your sisters and are vicious. Today, since my brother is not around, I’ll teach you a lesson on his behalf!” As he spoke, he shouted, “Bring the whip!”

The servant quickly brought over a long wooden box. Shen Yue was still looking at it curiously, but when she saw the box open and the things inside were revealed, she couldn’t help but gasp.

It was a long whip that had been soaked in something for many years. It looked black and shiny, and it was half the thickness of an adult man’s wrist. At a glance, one could tell how strong it was. If one was hit by the whip, they would probably be half dead.

“That’s right.” Old Madam Shen sat even straighter when she saw her son return. When she saw that her granddaughter was in trouble, she was angry. Since Shen Gui had spoken, she naturally had to go with the flow.

“Fifth Miss made a mistake, so it is only right for you to teach her a lesson on behalf of your elder brother. Our Shen family has always relied on rules. If she makes a mistake, we have to punish her. Fifth Miss, you should be glad that your second uncle is kind-hearted and loves you. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as just punishing you. You will be expelled from the Shen family for good.” At this point, her gaze suddenly changed. That’s right. If she expelled Shen Miao from the Shen family, wouldn’t that be even better?

Seeing Old Madam Shen’s expression, Chen Ruoqiu cursed in her heart. If Shen Miao was expelled from the Shen family, with Shen Xin’s personality, he would definitely leave with her daughter. Although they couldn’t bear to see the first branch doing well, they still had to rely on the first branch for many things. This old woman was really naive and stupid.

Ren Wanyun was stunned when she heard that. She probably guessed what Old Madam Shen was thinking. She didn’t want Shen Miao to be expelled from the Shen family, not because of anything else, but because she couldn’t let Shen Miao off so easily. Now, she wanted to keep Shen Miao in the Shen family. Only then could she have more ways to take revenge on her. Expelling her from the family? The punishment wouldn’t be that simple.

While everyone was thinking, they heard Shen Miao sigh softly and turn to look at Shen Gui.
