The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The last hope was ruthlessly defeated. Gu Xiuming's heart suddenly fell to the bottom and his body trembled slightly.

In front of the tombs of his ancestors, in full view of everyone, he was subjected to family law. In addition to his instinctive fear of family law, he also had a strong sense of humiliation. In recent decades, he was the first person in the Gu family to be subjected to such serious treatment. How can the descendants of the punishment raise their heads in the Gu family in the future?

From the arrogant prince to the unworthy descendants who made mistakes, it was like falling from the clouds into the quagmire. His dignity was severely trampled on, and the strong sense of humiliation made him feel unwilling and resentful. Gu Jingxi was really his good father, and he didn't care at all. Care about his life and death.

After a while, Gu Xiuming was taken off his coat by the servant. He only wore a white tunic on his upper body and his lower body was still on. He was led by the servant to lie down on the long wooden bench.

The burly, seemingly powerful executor swung his whip and threw it mercilessly on Gu Xiuming's back, making a "snap" sound, followed by Gu Xiuming's scream of "ah", The clothes on his back were ripped open by the whip, and there was a bloodstain.

Immediately afterwards, the second lash, the third lash, the fourth lash... the sound of the whip being swung on his body and Gu Xiuming's screams came one after another. After only a dozen lashes, he fainted from the pain, and a series of shocking wounds fell on his back. Bloodstains, bloody flesh, and the smell of blood filled the air.

However, before the punishment was completed, the executioner did not stop and continued to swing the whip, one after another falling on Gu Xiuming's bloody back.

The faces of everyone present turned pale, especially the female relatives. They only saw two or three whippings and turned away without daring to look again. The sound of whipping echoed in their ears.

The whip fell on Gu Xiuming, but it seemed to fall on each of their hearts, making their hearts beat like a drum. There was a vague feeling of being killed as a warning to the monkeys, making those little minds that had just been born dare not stop again in a short period of time. pop up.

The twenty-five lashes were over, and the executioner had stopped. Gu Xiuming, who was lying on the long wooden bench, was already unconscious and lying motionless. His white coat was torn by the whips, revealing his bloody back. .

When Gu Jingsheng heard that the sound of whipping had stopped, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of Gu Xiuming. The miserable scene scared him so much that he quickly turned his head away. His back seemed to hurt, and his voice was a little trembling, and he said: " Third brother, this punishment is over, why not carry Xiu Ming back to his yard and ask the government doctor to take a look?"

Gu Jingxi looked calm, only glanced at Gu Xiuming briefly, and replied: "How can a person who has made a big mistake and is still grounded return to the courtyard to recuperate? There is a room in the ancestral hall specially prepared for the unscrupulous descendants who were punished and grounded." With that said, he ordered his servants, "You carry the prince into the room, and then ask the government doctor to come over for treatment. When the prince's injury is better, urge him to copy the ancestral family rules."

The servant responded quickly and immediately stepped forward, carefully lifting Gu Xiuming up.

Zhang quickly glanced at Gu Xiuming, who was unconscious and not sure whether he was dead or alive. The bloody and bloody condition on his back scared her so much that her legs weakened and she almost collapsed on the ground.

He thought to himself: He was only sixteen years old, so young. It would be a pity if he died like this.

But the next moment, she felt that this was a good thing. If the Changxing Marquis Mansion lost its heir apparent, it would have to establish another heir apparent. After something like Gu Xiuming happened, her mother-in-law would no longer want to adopt a child from the sidelines. She His eldest son, Xiuyuan, is the eldest grandson of the Hou family. He has a good reputation in the family and is the closest to the throne.

Gu Jingxi opened his lips again: "Excuse me, everyone. Now that the punishment is over, I won't waste everyone's time anymore. Let's all disperse."

After everyone heard this, they didn't want to stay any longer. The juniors were already in awe of this third uncle, but now their fear of him has reached its peak. The two older ones, Gu Xiuyuan and Gu Xiuhong, were fine. Gu Xiuwen, who was only fifteen years old, Even the men were frightened by the battle just now and their legs were weak. They hurriedly pulled the sleeves of the two brothers and hurried out of the ancestral hall.

The two girls, Gu Xuanyi, the first daughter-in-law, and Gu Xuanling, the second-in-law's concubine, looked pale and were being supported by their maids.

It's really terrible!

The third uncle is so strict with his only son. If they make a mistake one day, they will feel terrible if they are whipped even once, let alone twenty-five. Twenty-five lashes will be very frightening for girls with fragile bodies like them. I'm afraid I have to go straight to heaven to see my ancestors.

After everyone left, Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao were the only ones left in the ancestral hall.

At this moment, Gu Jingxi remembered his little wife standing next to him. He saw that her face was pale and her eyes were staring blankly at the long wooden bench stained with blood. He thought of the two nieces who needed to be supported to leave. This little girl was no better than him. They were only a year older, so they must have been frightened.

Gu Jingxi stretched out his hand to block her sight. Seeing her slowly turning her head to look at him, he asked her, "Afraid?"

Meng Jinyao nodded honestly. The twenty-five lashes she thought were very different from the Gu family's twenty-five lashes. The whipping she thought was just twenty-five lashes with a small whip. The Gu family's twenty-five lashes were really Scary.

However, her son was beaten half to death, but Gu Jingxi still looked calm and indifferent. She felt a little frightened and asked in shock: "I'm a little scared. Will my husband treat me like this in the future?"

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows and asked her: "What bad thing do you want to do, madam? If you violate the laws of our court, you will be sent to jail directly. If it is evil, then..." I will educate myself.

However, before he finished speaking, Meng Jinyao shook her head: "That's impossible. I am a good citizen who abides by the law."

Gu Jingxi looked at her frightened look and explained: "The family law of the Gu family is limited to children of the Gu family, not women who marry into the Gu family. If a woman makes a big mistake, she will not be whipped, but will be divorced." .”

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Husband, do you want to go see our eldest son? I think his injury is quite serious."

"I'm not a doctor, so what's the use of going there? What he needs is a doctor." Gu Jingxi's words were callous and callous.

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao glanced at him. This probably had something to do with the fact that he was not his biological father and son. There was no blood connection between father and son, so he didn't care much about the other person's life and death.

Gu Jingxi seemed to see what she was thinking, and said: "No one has woken up, and now is not the time to look at him. Even looking at him will not help. Let's go back first."

Meng Jinyao thought of Gu Xiuming's miserable condition, but she didn't feel miserable. Gu Xiuming was just beaten and could recover, but what about her life? Because of Gu Xiuming's willful behavior, she was the worst.

However, she still asked curiously: "Isn't your husband afraid that he won't wake up?"

"That's not the case, after all, he is the son I have raised for many years, so how can he beat him to death?" Gu Jingxi said with a firm tone, and then said with a half-smile, "Madam, she cares more about him than I, the father. "

Meng Jinyao forced a smile: "How can a mother not care about her son?"

Gu Jingxi nodded in agreement. Seeing that there was a hint of cunning in her smile, like a little fox, he pointed out: "That's true. He is lucky to have a mother like Madam. However, Madam should still take care of herself and care about her from time to time. Just take care of him, I'm afraid he's a bitch and can't stand others being too nice to him."

Meng Jinyao was speechless for a moment: "..."

He slandered and said: If you want to warn me not to kill your son, just say it straight away. Who can talk about it in a roundabout way?
