Early the next morning, Su Qiuyue was awakened by the noise outside. When Su Qiuyue was about to continue sleeping under the quilt, she suddenly heard Gu Chaoxuan shouting hysterically: "I don't accept it."

Su Qiuyue was so sleepy by the sound that she quickly put on her clothes and walked to the front yard, where she saw Gu Chaoxuan kneeling on the ground, staring at Gu Mingyi stubbornly. Liang Xiaoyun was holding her son in her arms, pleading for Gu Chaoxuan.

Liang Mingyi frowned and said resolutely: "Gu Chaoxuan went out of the city privately and received sixty lashes according to the rules. He spent a month behind closed doors to reflect on his youth. His guardian Gu Mingyi received 30 lashes on his behalf. Gu Mingyi failed to take good care of Gu Chaoxuan. An additional thirty lashes. As the city lord, Gu Mingyi failed to discern clearly, which resulted in the old case from ten years ago being resolved today. I feel deeply guilty and should be punished with fifty lashes."

After Gu Mingyi finished speaking, everyone present was silent. At this time, the guard next to him knelt down with a plop: "City Lord, I can't do it. If this is a hundred lashes, I'm afraid..." The guard did not continue, but everyone knew the guard's I mean, if this one hundred and ten lashes continues, Gu Mingyi probably won't be able to hold on.

Liang Xiaoyun said: "City Lord, although you are not responsible for not investigating the case ten years ago, you were deceived by a traitor. The fault is not yours, and fifty lashes are not needed." "You don't need to say anymore, someone is here to carry out the execution. "

Two guards with whips came up. Their expressions showed that they could not bear it. They raised the whips and whipped them on Gu Chaoxuan and Gu Mingyi. The guards did not use their full strength, and the whips left a faint trace on the two bodies. Whip marks.

Gu Mingyi turned to the guards and shouted: "There is no favoritism in executions, and you must hit them hard. The whip just now does not count." The two execution guards gritted their teeth and hit Gu Mingyi and Gu Chaoxuan hard. With each whip, Gu Chaoxuan screamed, but he stubbornly held back his tears. Gu Mingyi remained silent and clenched his teeth. After a while, blood came from the corner of his mouth.

After Gu Chaoxuan's thirty whippings, his back was dripping with blood. Liang Xiaoyun hugged her son and shed tears. Gu Chaoxuan comforted his mother with an ugly smile: "Mom, I'm fine. Your son's body is very strong. It'll be fine in a few days." After saying that, he secretly looked at Gu Mingyi, who was now livid and almost fell to the ground.

"There are still sixty lashes left." The execution guard shouted. Seeing that the city lord could no longer hold on, he relaxed his strength slightly. Gu Mingyi said in a weak voice: "No favoritism, use force." The guard could only clench his fist and swing the whip hard.

Su Qiuyue couldn't bear it when she saw Gu Mingyi's back was bloody and bloody. She turned her head away and didn't dare to look. Gu Mingyi's guards even knelt on the ground, kowtow repeatedly and begged the city lord to take back his life.

Finally, when the one hundred and ten lashes were given, Gu Mingyi fell to the ground dying. The guards helped Gu Mingyi up and carried her back to the bedroom. The doctor who had been waiting for a long time followed the guards anxiously, carrying a medicine box on his back.

Gu Chaoxuan was carried back to the room by his guard. Su Qiuyue was about to leave, but was held back by Liang Xiaoyun: "Miss Su, can I ask for something?"

"Ma'am, please speak."

"Xuan'er and the city lord have a deep misunderstanding, and they are both people who are not good at expressing themselves. I want them to clear up their misunderstanding."

"What does Madam want me to do?" "Miss Su only needs to find an excuse tomorrow afternoon to bring Xuan'er to the city lord's door to eavesdrop."

Su Qiuyue looked confused and took Gu Chaoxuan to eavesdrop. Did she hear it right? Liang Xiaoyun seemed to read Su Qiuyue's thoughts and said, "Young lady, you heard me right. I want Xuan'er to hear his uncle's inner thoughts. I believe it can eliminate the misunderstanding between the two."

"Okay, I will definitely bring Xiaoxuan here."

Ye originally planned to leave today, but because Su Qiuyue agreed to Liang Xiaoyun, she tried hard to fight with Ye, but Ye still refused to let go. After Su Qiuyue swore to the sky that she would not stay after finishing the work tomorrow, Ye only agreed to stay one more day. .

In the afternoon of the next day, Su Qiuyue pretended to come to visit Gu Chaoxuan. At this time, Gu Chaoxuan was lying on the bed with his upper body exposed, his back covered with medicine and bandaged tightly with white cloth. Seeing Su Qiuyue coming, Gu Chaoxuan said, "Did Qin Yan ask you to come and watch my jokes?"

Su Qiuyue said: "You have misunderstood Qin Yan. He asked me to condole your injury for him." "Come on, he wishes I could get thirty lashes. By the way, you do it. Well?"

Su Qiuyue said: "Of course I'm here to visit you!" "A visitor comes empty-handed? This is so insincere." Su Qiuyue laughed dryly: "It's too late, forget it. But I'm sincere We can learn from the world." "Tsk, tell me quickly."

"Okay, okay, I'll just say it. I just heard from the guard that someone came to your uncle and said he wanted to tell you secrets. Did you do something bad and someone saw it?" "Nonsense, I Why did he do bad things? I want to see who is so full that he is suing me. See how I deal with him. Where are the others? Take me there quickly."

Although this excuse is a bit lame, the goal was achieved after all. Su Qiuyue brought Gu Chaoxuan to the door of Gu Mingyi's room. Liang Xiaoyun had already turned away the servants, so no one noticed that Su Qiuyue and Gu Chaoxuan were openly listening at the door.

"City Lord, why did you have to resist those thirty lashes for Xuan'er!" "Hey, he is still young, how could he withstand these sixty lashes."

"You just have a hard mouth and a soft heart. You have received more than a hundred lashes. I'm afraid it will take several months." "It doesn't matter, I didn't discipline Xiaoxuan properly. If I had watched him more and cared about him more, he would have I won’t go out to find you alone.”

"You are obviously very concerned in your heart, but you refuse to give in. You two, you are really..."

"Yun'er, you know that I have an indecisive personality. I don't want Xiaoxuan to be as indecisive as I am, so I usually treat him more harshly and harshly. I hope he can be decisive when encountering things."

"What I regret most in my life is that I was indecisive and hesitated, allowing my elder brother to marry you first. Every time I think about this, I wish I could slap myself in the face. I don't want Xiaoxuan to follow in my footsteps... "

After listening to Gu Mingyi's words, Su Qiuyue sighed in her heart. These uncle and nephew obviously care about each other, but they always look indifferent. They really are close. She secretly glanced at Gu Chaoxuan and saw the child secretly wiping away his tears. It seemed that Gu Mingyi's words had moved Gu Chaoxuan, and the relationship between the two should be able to ease.

The two eavesdropped for a while. Seeing that their goal was achieved, Su Qiuyue pulled Gu Chaoxuan and quietly retreated. Just after leaving Gu Mingyi's yard, Gu Chaoxuan said dissatisfied: "You are really unreliable, there is no one to complain." Su Qiuyue joked: "You have to thank me for bringing you here, otherwise how would you know about your uncle I care about you so much."

"Come on, stop putting gold on your face."
