Chapter 1850 - 1850 Ji Ziyin"s Punishment

1850 Ji Ziyin’s Punishment

He had just been gagged by someone and stepped on. A bellyful of anger and hate surged in him when Ji Ziyin denied her relations.h.i.+p with him.

He even resented her and Ji Xiao for not making things clear to him at the beginning. They only said that the Miracle Doctor from the East was skilled in medicine, but they said nothing about that person’s martial arts. It caused him to fail miserably and lose all his face!

At this moment, Ji Ziyin still wanted to put all the blame on him. He was not a fool. How could he not know that he had kicked an iron plate this time?

It was because Ji Xiao and Ji Ziyin had provoked the Nan family.

He was still extremely vexed. He didn’t know if he could escape, so how could he be willing to take the blame for Ji Ziyin?

The moment he pointed her out, Ji Ziyin’s expression changed drastically. She was a little fl.u.s.tered at first, but she quickly regained her calm. She immediately looked at the man with a sharp gaze that was full of warning. “Don’t spout nonsense. I didn’t instruct you.”

“Miss Ji, don’t deny it. I was just following your instructions. Otherwise, why would I find trouble with that Miracle Doctor if I don’t even know her? I was still following your instructions.”

Ji Ziyin wished she could cover his mouth.

However, Ji Lingfeng and so many elders of the family were watching. No matter how bold she was, she did not dare to silence the other party in public.

The more intense her reaction was, the easier it was to be seen through.

Ji Ziyin’s brows twitched. She could only turn to Ji Lingfeng and say anxiously, “Patriarch, he’s spouting nonsense to frame me!”

“Mhm.” Ji Lingfeng placed his fingers on the table, bent his knuckles, and gently knocked on the table.

He ordered without even looking at her, “Take Ji Ziyin to the punishment hall and give her 50 lashes.”

The Ji family’s punishment hall was famous for being ruthless.

Ji Ziyin had been the leader of the Ji family’s younger generation since she was young. She had only seen others being punished in the punishment hall, but she had never been there before.

It was said that the whip of the Punishment Hall was made of top-notch cowhide. A single whip could lacerate a person’s skin, let alone 50.

50 lashes was still a small matter.

Once she was punished in the punishment hall, her position in the family would also be shaken.

He Lin had gone to look for Ji Lingfeng with a leather bag the day before yesterday. It was very likely news about the wandering bloodline.

She was going to be punished for this… Ji Ziyin did not dare to imagine how embarra.s.sing it would be later on.

Really fl.u.s.tered now, Ji Ziyin bit her lip and her eyes flickered.

“Patriarch! I-I was wronged.”

The blood in Ji Ziyin’s body instantly turned cold.

She pinched her palms and lowered her head in embarra.s.sment, not daring to defend herself anymore.

…

After Ji Ziyin was taken away.

The elders stood up one after another. One of them, an old man with white hair and beard, walked to the door with his walking stick before suddenly stopping. He turned around and looked at Ji Lingfeng, who was still in the living room.

“Patriarch, there are some things I shouldn’t say. But at this point, I have to say it.”

He was the elder of the first hall and was also a direct elder of the Ji family. He had high seniority and status in the family.

Ji Lingfeng could not be too perfunctory with him. He looked up and said despite being a little tired, “Go ahead.”
