"You…," Su Wan bit her trembling lips, after recovering some of her spirit; her eyes boiled with rage, full of disbelief, " You dare to hit me!"
Su Luo very innocently shrugged with her hands spread. "How could this world have such a stupid person? Obviously you have been hit, but to still continue to ask,'you actually hit me?'"
Such a brazen insult, caused Su Wan's lungs to almost explode from anger. Her face trembled, and stressing each syllable through gritted teeth, she said: " You–court–death! "
"The one courting death is you!" Su Luo took out the whip, and mercilessly whipped her body, lash by lash. Her eyes were shining with a brilliant light that could leave a person in a state of terror. "This whiplash is for the previous Su Luo! This whip is lashed for Lu Luo! This whip is lashed for the ants that were crushed to death by you…."
Su Luo's justifications was full of fantastic oddities of every description, but she could always find a reason to whip Su Wan. It's like at a wine table, people will always find a justification to force the other to drink until they become drunk.
In almost no time, Su Wan's body was covered with lash marks; her clothes had become ragged, worse than a beggar's.
"Su Luo! I will never let you off! Absolutely never!" Su Wan crawled up. While hugging her exposed body, she urgently began to take steps to run out.
As she made her way, she staggered along. She fell down and then crawled up, crawled up and then fell down. She looked like a very sorry figure.
Watching Su Wan's figure from the back as she ran away, Su Luo's pupils manifested a sneaky, crafty grin.
" Miss, this, this is not good right?" Before, Su Luo would always act in the role of the bullied. Today however, it's reversed, with her whipping another. Lu Luo was not used to this type of change, so it was also a little terrifying.
"What's so bad about it? Bullying others is always better than being bullied." Su Luo sat at the stone table set in the courtyard. And with a calm manner, unruffled in the midst of chaos, she poured herself a cup of tea.
" But, but this…" Lu Luo stammered as she said, "The third miss left to tattle to the master. What can we do?"
Wasn't the mistress afraid of the master before? In front of him, she would always be a yes-man, almost unable to speak a complete sentence; now however, it seem as if she is not even a little afraid?
"My cheap father, right now, won't be in a relaxed enough frame of mind to deal with other people's business. He has something keeping him busy at the moment." This matter was also something Su Luo found for him.
Besides, her father may be cheap and old, but he was also not stupid. In this world where the strong were respected, Su Wan was a first rank martial artist who couldn't even beat an ordinary person. Under these circumstances, what's the use of supporting this daughter? Wouldn't it just be a waste?
Her cheap,old father can calculate very well in regards to this matter. It was really unnecessary for her to worry about anything.
Sure enough, Su Wan, while covering her face full of whip wounds and weeping endlessly, ran to find the great Su general Su Zian. However, she encountered being given the cold shoulder that she had previously never before experienced.
Su Zian impatiently suppressed his temper and listened to Su Wan's tale of receiving unjust treatment. He exhaustedly rubbed between his eyebrows to relieve the stress, but, in the end, he was unable to tolerate any more; he settled it straightforwardly with one sentence, " You are a first rank martial artist and unable to defeat a good for nothing, yet you still have the face to come here to cry?'
Su Wan was suddenly startled. She raised her small, crying face like the rain bearing pear blossoms. Face full of disbelief, she stuttered, " Father….but this…..but this….she hit me…."
Su Zian was busy trying to catch the thief that stole the hidden treasure map, so how could he have the frame of mind to manage a struggle between daughters of the family, "Okay, all right, Su Luo was really wrong in this matter, but you are wrong too. If there was no business, what were you doing in her courtyard?"
"Zi Wu!" Su Zian wearing a cold expression, thundered out a command.
From outside of the door a guard came in. He was Su Zian's personal bodyguard.
Su Zian's cold voice commanded. "Go tell Su Luo, that within the next three month, she will stay in her courtyard and not take a single step outside the door. If she takes one step outside of her courtyard then just break her leg. Let her reflect carefully in her courtyard!"
Zi Wu with a cold face, tersely agreed. His gaze landed upon Su Wan's face and a flash of astonishment shone from his eyes. Afterwards, with some disgust, he turned his face away and finally left following the command.
Isn't it merely solitary confinement? To let her go this lightly? This is absolutely inconceivable!
Su Wan was so angry that she almost cried. She shouted and crawled toward Su Zian and was even about to hug his thigh.
It was a pity that her face was smeared with blood coupled with tears, sweat, body clothed in rags. And when she had rolled around the floor before, it had become truly filthy. Her entire being looked no different from that of a malicious spirit.
Su Zian's eyes flashed with loathing.
This daughter is also a useless tool!
Only knowing how to stir up trouble, but never thinking of a way to help lessen his burdens!
A touch of anger flashed across Su Zian's heart as he recalled that, just a few days ago, this was the very same Su Wan who had heavily lost face in front of the crown prince.
Although everyone outside said it was Su Luo, but as for the actual truth, as a father, how could he not know?
Su Zian turned his back on her by withdrawing his thigh and in a cold voice said. "You will also go back and stay in your yard for three month, carefully reflect upon yourself, study well from your fifth younger sister's example!"
Isn't this locking her in confinement? Su Wan's expression was full of unwillingness and discontent.
And to also learn from Su Xi example? In this Su Manor, the most arrogant and willful person who still took rash actions, isn't it actually Su Xi? Su Wan was so despondent that she almost spit out blood.
"Daddy…" Su Wan still desired to beseech him while weeping.
But Su Zian waved his hand. In a cold, furious voice, he said, " Zi Xi! Drag the third Miss back to her courtyard and carefully watch her!"
Each and everyone of them won't save me from worrying! Su Zian's fist heavily smashed towards the table made from pear-tree wood. Immediately the deep imprint of a fist appeared on the table.
The veins on Su Zian's forehead were beating, like his heart was jumping around.
Father is about to come out of closed-door practice, but the Celestial Spirit Water has completely disappeared; and also that piece of hidden treasure map. Where exactly could it be?!
Jingyu, that stinking brat. He won't confess even facing death, and from his mouth Su Zian was unable to obtain any useful information.
Su Zian was so vexed that his full head of black hair was almost all pulled out.
A thief in the family is really hard to guard against. It was a pity that Su Zian did not know, this thief from the family was not Su Jingyu, but was in fact the one whom he firmly believe to be a good-for-nothing fourth daughter.
Su Zi Wu with his cold, dark face walked into the courtyard and passed on the Su generals commands.
Su Luo sweetly and obediently demonstrated that she would properly stay in her courtyard to contemplate. Everyday she would appear to properly think things over, and learn from her fifth sister Su Xi.
Su Zi Wu slammed the door shut, then heavy locks were used to keep the door sealed.
Afterwards, even delivering her meal would be done by passing it over the wall.
"Miss… this… "Isn't this punishment a little light? If it was the way it was in the past, the master would have definitely made people whip the mistress.
"I told you earlier, you don't need to worry alright?" Su Luo gave off an appearance of a prophet with supernatural accuracy. She comfortably lay down on the soft couch, eating dessert in one hand and flipping through the book of the history of the continent in the other hand.
These days, Su Luo had flipped through all the books on the history of the continent, she also read some books about herbs.
After all, in the future her cultivation would have to include apothecary skills. Moreover she would soon enter Sunset Mountain Range. Based on the luck of her hands, she felt she would have extraordinary opportunities.
Lu Luo whose face was full of happiness took care of Su Luo. "Miss, these next few days we need to properly stay in the courtyard, so do not stir up trouble, okay?"
This time her father had given her a rather light punishment, though it was not known why. The next time, surely, it would not be so simple.
Who knew that Su Luo would toss the book into Lu Luo's lap. With a gaze that was all smiles, she said to her " This Miss officially informs you, Lu Luo girl, these three months, you will have a good stay in this courtyard and reflect in place of your mistress. When this Miss comes back, I will definitely bring you something good to eat."
"Miss——" Lu Luo's face was full of shock
However, Su Luo did not stop to clarify what she was going to do, and with a mysterious wave of her hand, she waved her away.
