Capítulo 910: Finding the Reason for Tong Rao's Change in Attitude

At the Gu family's ancestral hall, Gu Zhaoye was summoned to receive the family's punishment. After enduring ten lashes, he had been recovering at home for the past few days.

He initially thought that since his elder brother could withstand 49 lashes, ten should be manageable for him. However, he was taken by surprise when he cried out in pain after just one lash and lost consciousness after three.

In the end, he had to be splashed awake by the Second Elder, who was in charge of administering the punishment, and forced to continue.

During the ordeal, he broke down, pleading for his parents and declaring he wouldn't accept the blame, no matter how much money was offered.

The Second Elder, annoyed by his pleas, had him silenced.

Gu Zhaoye couldn't shake the feeling that the Second Elder had struck him with more force than he had used on his elder brother.

Now, Gu Zhaoye lay on the sofa, absorbed in a game on his phone.
