My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 336: Forty Lashes

"Ghost Granny, I’ll deal with the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, you go find my father!"

Miao Xian’er’s face also changed as she heard the dull sound of a horn.

"Alright!"

Without saying much, Ghost Granny turned and strode out, shutting the door behind her.

"Qin Yu, don’t say anything later, I’ll handle it!"

Miao Xian’er got out of bed, walked barefoot to the wardrobe, and began to change her clothes.

What the hell...

Despite the enchanting sight, Qin Yu was too troubled to appreciate it, worried about what awaited him.

A few minutes later.

Miao Xian’er had put on a set of traditional Miao Tribe attire: a silver hat, a crescent-shaped necklace, and a skirt with alternating black and red stripes.

Her features were already exquisite, but dressed in Miao Tribe clothing, she was striking.

Thump thump...

Just as Miao Xian’er fastened her belt and hung up her pouch of poison, a knock on the door sounded.

"Coming!"

Miao Xian’er walked to the door and opened it.

Outside stood an elder who bore some resemblance to Qi Wei, followed by about a dozen Miaojiang men holding curved blades.

"Miss, the Law Enforcement Hall summons you!"

Qi Wei’s father, Qi Zhongwei, was very respectful towards Miao Xian’er, slightly bending his waist and gesturing for her to follow.

An unmarried girl caught in a private meeting with a man was absolutely forbidden in secluded Leigong Mountain.

Even if she was the princess of Miaojiang, she would be punished.

"Fine, I’ll go with you. But this has nothing to do with Qin Yu; he came to save me! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have woken up!"

After glancing back at Qin Yu, Miao Xian’er lifted her skirt and walked out, knowing she could hardly escape a whipping.

"Miss, as an outsider, he was found in the lady’s boudoir, and you were undressed, which is an act of profanity. According to the rules of Leigong Mountain, he should be beaten to death with sticks. Take him away!"

Qi Zhongwei’s dark complexion and stern face gave off an impression of impartial justice.

With a wave of his hand, several Miaojiang men drew their curved blades and menacingly approached Qin Yu.

Fuck, am I really going to be beaten to death here?

Qin Yu felt apprehensive, not fearing death itself, but the absurdity of an inexplicable demise.

However, considering the recent horn blasts putting Leigong Mountain on high alert and these people’s ability to use poison, he was certain he couldn’t break free.

With no other choice, Qin Yu allowed his hands to hang limply as the Miaojiang men placed their knives against his neck and pushed him out of the room.

After leaving Miao Xian’er’s courtyard, they proceeded along the corridor to a spacious slate square.

In the middle stood a tall statue with a green face and fangs, and two horns on the head, likely Chi You from ancient mythology, believed to be the ancestor of the Miaojiang people.

Around the square stood many Miaojiang men with curved blades, each with a stern expression as they watched Qin Yu.

Shit...

These people seemed to take their "outsider" quite seriously.

Being escorted by several Miaojiang men, Qin Yu arrived under the statue, his expression sullen.

Soon someone lit the firewood in the iron pot, muttering words as they did so.

It seemed like a ritual, given that this affair involved the daughter of the Gu King, Miao Xian’er.

Clack clack...

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a group of Miaojiang men with tattoos and iron rods in their hands emerged.

"Qin Yu, don’t worry, my father..."

Miao Xian’er gave Qin Yu a look, imparting that although the Law Enforcement Hall had great power, it was her father who was the true ruler of Leigong Mountain.

"Uh...."

Qin Yu could only respond with a bitter smile.

"Dad, I suggest we immediately beat this bastard to death with sticks!"

Qi Wei appeared out of nowhere, his expression dark as he glanced at Qin Yu and said.

"Good!"

Qi Zhongwei also knew that his son had always fancied Miao Xian’er, but now an outsider had stolen her from him. He definitely felt uncomfortable about it.

Nodding his head, he waved his hand, "Come on, enforce the law!"

"Roar, roar..."

The Miaojiang men, carrying iron clubs and shouting chants that Qin Yu didn’t understand, quickly surrounded him.

The clubs still bore a dark brown layer of blood, indicating they had killed more than a few people.

"Leader Qi, according to the rules of Leigong Mountain, the Law Enforcement Hall must act in the presence of my father!"

Miao Xian’er stared at Qi Zhongwei and said coldly.

"Oh, your father was injured last night during a conflict with the Corpse Driver Clan. Given the special circumstances, I’ll enforce the law first, then report the situation to your father!"

Qi Zhongwei spoke indifferently.

"This..."

Miao Xian’er could tell that Qi Zhongwei intended to act first and report later!

Still, the Law Enforcement Hall was a special entity in Leigong Mountain. Even if her father had erred, it would discipline him just the same, with no need to show any face to her, the little princess.

She became extremely anxious in that moment.

"Qin Yu, I’m sorry you shouldn’t have come to Miaojiang... If you really get beaten to death, I’ll definitely jump off the back mountain too, to die for love with you! If the only daughter of my dad dies, he would be heartbroken, right?"

Miao Xian’er seemed to be speaking to Qin Yu, but in reality, she was looking at Qi Zhongwei, batting her eyelids and even forcibly squeezing out a few tears.

"Miss..."

Qi Zhongwei certainly knew that Miao Xian’er was threatening him, daring him to harm Qin Yu and watch her die in response.

He was somewhat exasperated; everyone on Leigong Mountain knew that the Gu King had only this one daughter. Should anything happen to her, maybe there would no longer be a need for the Law Enforcement Hall to exist.

"Ah..."

Qin Yu let out a soft sigh. Miao Xian’er’s protection touched him somewhat.

"Miss, how about this? You are supposed to receive twenty lashes, so have him take your place with forty lashes, how about it?"

Qi Zhongwei proposed to Miao Xian’er in a negotiating tone.

He didn’t want to let Qin Yu off, but he really couldn’t afford to offend Miao Xian’er. Just let the law enforcers put in a little extra effort and turn this guy half-paralyzed, that’s all.

"Humph, what if he turns out to be a good-for-nothing who’s not brave enough to suffer for Xian’er?"

Qi Wei goaded from the side.

He surely knew what his father’s plan was—to have someone lash Qin Yu to the brink of death.

"Miss..."

At that moment, Ghost Granny also approached from a distance, spreading her hands to indicate that she brought no reinforcements.

It seemed that, just as Qi Zhongwei said, the Gu King was injured and might be bedridden and recuperating.

"Fine, it’s just forty lashes. I’ll take them for Xian’er!"

Seeing Ghost Granny return alone, Qin Yu knew today’s issue would not end well. Still, taking forty lashes was better than being beaten to death.

"Humph humph, okay, bring me the whip!"

Qi Zhongwei hummed expressionlessly.

"The Gu King said Qin Yu is an honored guest of Miaojiang, who has saved both my life and the miss’s life. As he is currently indisposed, he instructed Leader Qi to take good care of him on his behalf!"

Ghost Granny walked to Miao Xian’er’s side and spoke faintly to Qi Zhongwei.

"Humph... I understand!"

Qi Zhongwei’s face was full of displeasure. With the Gu King having spoken, if he harmed Qin Yu into a half-paralyzed state, it would be openly opposing the Gu King.

But surely, taking some skin off him wouldn’t be a problem, right?
