I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 967 - Chapter 967 Beaten Up

Chapter 967: Beaten Up Chapter 967: Beaten Up Editor: Atlas Studios Qi Haoran was beating them up for real this time.

After grabbing the four children, he raised his wooden stick to hit them.

Afraid that he would cause some real damage to the kids with the stick, he tossed the wooden stick away and raised his palm.

Not long after, the wails of four children could be heard from the Fan Residence.

Little Madam Xia paced around anxiously.

If it was Fan Zijin, she could still persuade him.

However, as this was her husband’s brother, she could only say anxiously from the side, “Uncle, calm down first.

Anger can hurt your healthaEUR|” Without looking at who was persuading him, Qi Haoran said angrily, “I’m not angry.

If I’m angry with these brats, my lifespan will be shortened.” Then who was the one who was so angry that his face turned red?

Little Madam Xia was powerless to complain and could only get someone to quickly find Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling came quite quickly, but she stood at the side and watched, even adding fuel to the fire.

“Use some strength.

Let them learn a lesson this time and see if they still dare to do it again.” At this moment, Qi Haoran was holding Little Bear.

When he heard this, he thought of his two nephews who were still on the way and smacked him even harder on the butt.

The three children standing at the side did not dare to run.

With their mouths gaped open, they wailed with snot dripping down.

They were clearly frightened this time.

Mu Yangling’s expression turned even colder as she watched from the side.

Ignoring the wailing of the four children, she simply watched as Qi Haoran beat the four children up.

Only on account of Little Madam Xia’s pale face did she stop Qi Haoran.

The reason she gave was, “You should take a break before continuing lest you tire yourself out just to beat them up.” The four children were only left with sobs now.

When they heard this, they stopped crying for a brief moment before resuming their miserable cries.

Little An felt that Fourth Aunt was too cruel.

He looked at his mother with tears in his eyes, hoping that his mother would show her might and tell Fourth Uncle she would bring him back to let his father punish him instead.

Little Madam Xia really wanted to speak up, but looking at Qi Haoran’s ashen face, she couldn’t say anything.

She felt that the four children must have caused a huge disaster.

Otherwise, why would Qi Haoran, who had always doted on the children, suddenly fly into such a huge rage?

Even back then, when the children went into the water to swim and got into an accident, Qi Haoran was not as angry as he was today.

Fortunately, Qi Haoran was no longer in the mood to resume the beatings after pausing.

Little Madam Xia glanced at the cold-faced Mu Yangling and deliberated.

“Ah Ling, should I get the servants to bring them awayaEUR| to stand as punishment?” She wanted to say ‘to apply the medicine’, but after thinking about it, she changed her words.

Mu Yangling nodded.

Little Madam Xia hurriedly waved at the servant girls and maidservants behind her.

A group of people rushed up and pulled the four children away, afraid that Prince Rong would rush over and beat them up again.

Seeing that there were no more servants nearby, Mu Yangling took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off Qi Haoran’s forehead.

She asked, “What trouble did they cause?” As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Little Madam Xia, even Qi Haoran felt embarrassed.

He couldn’t help but ask, “You had no idea what trouble they got into and you encouraged me to beat them up?” “When have you ever hit the kids like this?

They must have done something lawless,” Mu Yangling said firmly.

Besides, the most taboo thing when it came to disciplining children was for one parent to dissuade while the other beat them up.

That way, the beating would’ve been done in vain.

The kids ought to know that when they did something wrong, no matter who they intercede with, it wouldn’t help.

Otherwise, they would become lawless in the future.

Qi Haoran looked at his wife with mixed feelings and sent a voice transmission.

“They conspired with Little Treasure to run away from the palace, and when Little Treasure came out, he even brought his second brother along.” Mu Yangling’s eyes widened.

Qi Haoran continued with the voice transmission, “Don’t announce this matter yet.

I’ll set off to pick them up in a while.

Tell everyone that we quarreled over the children and that I’ll be sleeping in the study.

Don’t apply for leave from the navy government office tomorrow.

If anyone comes to look for me, feign anger and say that you have no idea where I am.

Zijin isn’t at home now.

When he comes back tonight, tell him to quietly tidy up a room and keep the matter under wraps.” Mu Yangling understood what he meant.

If the news of Little Treasure and his brother leaving the palace was leaked, someone would probably attempt to assassinate them.

As her internal energy was not enough to let her send out a message via voice transmission, she could only nod repeatedly at Qi Haoran to show that she understood.

Qi Haoran turned around and left.

He had to set off immediately to pick the two kids up.

From how Little Madam Xia saw it, this scene was very strange.

She thought that Qi Haoran was mad at Mu Yangling and was about to comfort her when Mu Yangling turned around and gritted her teeth.

“Let’s go and see these brats.” Mu Yangling strode into the house, and Little Madam Xia could only follow.

The four children were lying on their bellies side by side on two couches.

When they saw the adults enter, they looked at them aggrievedly.

Little Madam Xia’s eyes were filled with pity, while Mu Yangling glared back at them.

She reached out and patted Little Bear’s butt, asking, “Does it hurt enough?” When the wound was touched, Little Bear let out a cry.

Mu Yangling’s hand, which had already left, returned.

She pinched the flesh on his butt and twisted it ruthlessly.

This time, Little Bear bit the pillow with tears in his eyes and didn’t dare to cry out loud again.

Mu Yangling snorted and went to check on the other three children.

The three children immediately lay obediently on the couch and did not dare to move.

Only then did Mu Yangling say to the servants, “Strip them of their clothes and apply medicine on them.

Watch this courtyard and forbid anyone from entering or leaving.

His Highness is punishing them to reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors.

Without his orders, the four of them are not allowed to go out.

If you can’t keep an eye on them, even though His Highness won’t be able to interfere in the Fan Residence’s matters, your Duke will punish you.” The servants shivered.

Although they weren’t servants from the neighboring manor, they knew how Prince Rong and the Princess Consort handled things.

Although Prince Rong was noisy, he would be okay after losing his temper.

At most, the servants would just be flogged.

Comparing the four masters of the two manors, the easiest to fool would be Prince Rong and Little Madam Xia.

They would either be flogged or have their monthly allowances deducted.

The most difficult to fool were the Princess Consort and the Duke.

For the Princess Consort, she could let the small matters pass, but if it was a huge mistake, the servant would be sold off immediately without interrogation.

Moreover, the servant’s entire family would also be sold.

In terms of ruthlessness, she was ranked second.

The number one ruthless was the Duke.

The Princess Consort would still go to a human trafficker with a good reputation, which meant they would be sold to another rich family to be servants.

Whereas for the Duke, he would directly sell them to mines and places like that.

The servant would then have to slog away in the mine until they died.

Therefore, the servants agreed in trepidation and guarded the various exits of the courtyard.

No one was allowed to enter or leave.

If anyone wanted to eat or drink, someone from the kitchen would send them over.

As there was a small kitchen in the courtyard equipped with everything, their needs would be taken care of even if they didn’t go out.

Little Madam Xia looked at Mu Yangling in bewilderment.

This was the first time Mu Yangling had overstepped her boundaries in her territory.

Mu Yangling held her hand and pulled her to a side room in this courtyard.

The door was guarded by Little Madam Xia’s wet nurse, Nanny Xia, and her personal servant girl, while Spring was guarding the window.

Only then did Mu Yangling tell her in a low voice what the four brats had done.

She whispered, “His Highness has already gone to pick them up.

According to our estimations, they should be able to arrive later in the day.” In utter shock, Little Madam Xia’s lips moved for a long time before she managed to speak.

“These children are really too lawless.

If anything happens to His Highness the Crown Prince on the way, weaEUR|” Now, Little Madam Xia felt that Prince Rong’s punishment wasn’t harsh enoughaEUR|
