Chapter 73
"Not only the fifth brother won't gamble anymore, even the second brother has to wash his hands in a golden basin. Although the method is a little bit damaging, but for the sake of our Han family's foundation, we can only let the second brother suffer a little bit. It's a pity...I'm just Talk nonsense at will, I'd better persuade Fifth Brother to be more realistic, if you don't listen, you can only ask the Buddha." Ruoxi replied with a sigh.

Sister-in-law Wu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to adopt Ruoxi's method, and quietly arranged for her to leave the second door.

This day, the three of Ruoxi were checking the accounts in the flower hall, when Su Xue came over in a panic.She didn't care about the other girls in the room, so she replied in a crying voice: "Second Grandma, First Grandma and Ninth Miss hurried to Rongshan Hall to intercede, Second Master was called by the old lady to beat the board!"

Uh?Everyone was taken aback, Chen was even more puzzled and flustered.This morning Han Hao went to the shop to help out, why was the old lady hitting him at this time?She didn't have time to think about the reason, she hurriedly got up and went to Rong Shan Tang.Grandma ordered Lingzhi to put away the account book, and dragged Ruoxi to chase her out.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of Rongshantang, he saw a large group of girls and women standing outside, no one dared to look around and no one dared to speak.There was a "crack" sound from inside, mixed with a few screams.

A trace of emotion flashed in Ruoxi's eyes, she turned her head and glanced at Qingyu who was following her, and while everyone was not paying attention, she leaned over her ear and said softly: "Someone will vent their anger on you, don't be afraid to go in and watch the excitement!" After finishing speaking, pat the back of her hand.

During these days, Qingyu seems to have returned to her heartless temperament, only Ruoxi understands the fear and grievance she hides deep in her heart.Han Hao is a source of terror to her, someone who can bully her at any time.Let her see what happened to Han Hao today, and let her know that someone can take care of Han Hao!This Han Mansion is not a place where he can do anything wrong, and he has to pay the price for doing wrong things!

Ruoxi went in behind the eldest grandma, only to see the old lady sitting on top with an angry face, next to the second wife and the eldest wife.Fourth Young Master, Fifth Young Master and Eleventh Young Master stood aside holding their breath, their faces turning pale with fright.

There was a long spring stool in the middle of the room, Han Hao was tied to it, and two big and three thick women took turns hitting it with a board.He seemed to have suffered a lot, and the moon-white trousers on his body were blood-colored.The second wife held back the tears in her eyes, she turned her head and didn't look at it!

"Grandmother, grandson knows it's wrong! Oops, stop beating... grandson knows it's wrong!" He originally wanted to go through the [-] boards like a man, but the pain was so bad that he had to beg for mercy.What's more, it's embarrassing to be beaten in front of all the younger brothers. What will be the majesty of his elder brother in the future?Several people from the Chen family came in again, and he became more and more ashamed, which made him feel more uncomfortable than being beaten.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen's eyes were red, she knelt down with a "plop", and said with a choked voice, "Second Lord did something wrong and made the old lady angry. He should hit him! But it is well known that the old lady loves her grandson, and it hurts you to hit him. Heart! The granddaughter-in-law is willing to be punished on behalf of the second master, please take good care of your own body."

"Good boy! Marrying Hao'er is ruining you!" The old lady wiped her tears and waved her hand to let Mrs. Chen go to her side, "No one should intercede for him today. If it is here, there will be a last meal!"

After hearing this, the eldest grandma didn't dare to intercede anymore, and stood obediently behind the eldest wife, her eyes full of puzzlement.Ruoxi saw that the old lady was frowning like a headache, so she hurried over to help her massage gently.

"Hit, hit me hard!" The old lady pointed at Han Hao's trembling fingers, showing that she was very angry.

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and the young master Han Xuan came in.Seeing the situation in front of him, his expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old lady, wife and others.

"You are the eldest grandson of the mansion, have you ever disciplined your younger brother well? Hao'er was addicted to gambling outside, borrowed usury and was chased into the mansion, and you didn't even know about it?" The old lady was real this time. Furious, he sent someone to call Han Xuan back from the government office to question him.

The face of Mrs. Chen next to her changed greatly when she heard the words. No wonder the old lady was so angry. Are loan sharks something that can be provoked?Those people are all vicious and vicious people, not to mention the Han family, even the imperial palace would dare to go to collect debts.It's a big deal to risk your life and make a fuss, anyway, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes!The more status and status people have, the more they can't afford to be ashamed, and they often just pay back the money quietly.But their interest rates are ridiculously high, and I don't know how much her grandfather borrowed!

After hearing this, Han Xuan knelt down and replied with guilt on his face: "As a big brother, grandson has never fulfilled his responsibility as a big brother. The second brother didn't even know that he caused such a disaster. Grandson is ashamed, please grandma Punishment!"

"Those loan sharks came here with the IOU signed by Xiaoer himself, and they kept saying they wanted to find your second uncle. The people in the house said that your second uncle was not there and would not let them in, but they forced their way in and injured the servants. .I was stopped at the second gate, and I was still yelling, "See my wife when the master is not here. It is only natural to repay the debt. No one should try to default! If you don't pay the money, you will go to the government. Let's see who is ashamed!" and so on. "The old lady kept knocking on the ground with the crutches in her hand, and she had nowhere to vent her anger. "Listen, who are these people? Our Han family has a century-old reputation, how can we allow such untouchables to be tarnished? If it really makes trouble to the government , do you want our family's face!"

"Grandmother calm down, it's all grandson's fault!" Han Xuan kept apologizing and didn't dare to contradict and defend.

Standing behind the old lady, Ruoxi said softly: "Grandmother was careful to get angry, otherwise the second brother's crime would be even greater. I don't know when the second brother started gambling, and when did the usury borrow it? My brother is on official business, and he has been away for more than half a month, and he just came back from another place yesterday."

The old lady was startled when she heard the words, then ordered Han Xuan to get up, sighed and replied: "I'm so old-fashioned. It's been about ten days before and after this. How would you know if you weren't in the capital! You child is too honest, Why don't you know how to defend yourself?"

"It's a mistake for the grandson to fail to set a good example for the younger brothers, so I dare not quibble!" He glanced at Han Hao who was still being beaten, "There was a legacy from the ancestors, and all descendants of the Han family are not allowed to gamble. Severe punishment! Now that my second brother violated the family rules, I shouldn’t have pleaded for him, but I asked my grandmother to forgive me. The gang of loan sharks specially set up traps for rich children, and my second brother was deceived by them. After this time, I believe that the second brother will never dare to gamble again. The second brother helps in the shop during the day, and studies half the night at night. He just got sick not long ago. How can he stand this board? Grandma Although angry, at least don’t take his life!”

Han Hao, who was lying on the stool, had passed out, his buttocks were beaten to pieces, and he didn't even groan.Seeing this, the second wife couldn't help crying, and Chen's face was also full of tears.

How could the old lady want Han Hao's life?She told the mother-in-law to stop, carried the man down to ask the doctor, and asked Mrs. Chen to wait on her.
