After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 192: A Beating

Hahahaha.

Shen Zhiyi's.

[Hahahahahaha. 】

Systematic.

The two of them watched with great enjoyment.

Ninth Sister was stunned.

The General of the Cavalry who ran over and the Minister of Works who rushed over silently gave a thumbs up.

There are many stray dogs in the Yue Lao Temple area.

Because it's located outside the walls of the Yue Lao Temple, the temple doesn't clean this area, resulting in a lot of dog poop everywhere.

People passing by here often accidentally step in dog poop, and some have even gone to the Temple of the Matchmaker to argue about the dog poop outside the wall.

The people inside the Yue Lao Temple said...

"Stepping in dog poop is a good omen, it means you're going to have some good luck."

This phrase can scare away those who are overly superstitious.

"This is a matter outside the wall, not the responsibility of the Matchmaker Temple. If you care about the dog poop outside the wall, you can be kind and clean it up yourself."

This is a way to dismiss someone who isn't superstitious but doesn't want to cause any big trouble.

"Dogs are natural creatures, and their poop is also a natural thing. Just let it be, that's going with the flow. That stuff can even be used as fertilizer, which is a good thing."

This sentence is enough to send most of the villagers away.

In conclusion, over time, this area has become a mess of dog poop.

[When this eighth sister brought her adopted son over, she kept her head down the whole time, just to find some fresh dog poop, and also to avoid stepping in it herself, hahaha.]

The adopted son, who had eaten a mouthful of dog shit, spat several times.

Why did you avoid it?

Eighth Sister chuckled softly, "Because of your foul mouth. How dare you lie to my sister with such a foul mouth?"

"Do you believe I'll go find my godfather?!"

Eighth Sister crossed her arms and chuckled, "Oh, you still want to find the Great General? I really don't understand why someone like the Great General would recognize a scumbag like you as his godson. He must be blind."

The Minister of Works wholeheartedly agreed, but said this to the General of the Cavalry: "The young girl is just being naive, please don't take it to heart."

"I think he's very sensible. What he said is so right. Even at a time like this, he still dares to use my name. He hasn't been fed enough dog shit."

After he finished speaking, the General of the Cavalry came out directly, and his adopted son trembled all over at the sight of him.

"father?"

"You brat, come here right now."

The adopted son immediately noticed the stick in the General of the Cavalry's hand and refused to go over no matter what.

"I really can't come."

The adopted son shuddered, knowing that if he didn't go over, he would only be beaten even more severely.

So he closed his eyes and knelt down.

"Father, I was wrong, please hit me."

"You actually know you're wrong? Is this how your father and I have always taught you?"

“You two didn’t teach me anything. My dad is busy, and you don’t care about me at all. You just watch over my dad all day long.”

[Your father and my father, what a complicated relationship! Actually, you should call the Minister of Justice "Mother," hahaha.]

The General of the Cavalry felt a pang of guilt, but his hand, which had been wielding the stick, showed no mercy as he struck down.

"Tell me, who taught you to deceive a girl's feelings like this? You're a piece of scum."

The adopted son was beaten and screamed in pain.

"Father, I was wrong, I was wrong."

This guy's reasoning is ridiculous; it's just a man's inherent weakness.

[It's nothing more than bringing a different kind of girl from a prestigious family to impress those scions of wealthy families, just to satisfy that pointless vanity. I really just laugh.]

Upon hearing this, the General of the Cavalry became even angrier.

A single, direct strike with the stick carries even greater force.

"waste!"

The screams, along with the barking of dogs in the area, created quite a scene.

[This guy and the little dog over there are playing a duet.]

Shen Zhiyi was so amused by what she saw that the adopted son's buttocks were being beaten so badly that his clothes were torn and exposed.

The Eighth Sister stared at her with a cold laugh, while the Ninth Sister hid behind Shen Zhiyi, not daring to look closely.

The Minister of Works, seeing that the other party was about to faint, finally spoke up: "Alright, alright, General, your son must have realized his mistake."

"Hmph, don't worry about this. I'm not finished fighting yet. I'm taking him back to let Fatty continue fighting."

Seeing that the General of the Cavalry was determined to make his decision, the Minister of Works did not stop him, but simply stepped forward to look at his two daughters.

The Eighth and Ninth Sisters were surprised that their father would also come.

"Father."

The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.

Shen Zhiyi didn't dare to look at the other person.

Luckily I was wearing a veil; if I had been discovered, I would have been dead.

She closed her eyes, so engrossed in watching the spectacle that she forgot she was supposed to run away.

The Minister of Works pretended not to notice Shen Zhiyi and simply reached out to pat his two daughters on the head.

"Very good, you did a great job."

"Dad, I'm very pleased and happy."

The old man, who was usually so rigid at home, suddenly showed a kind fatherly smile, which made the Eighth and Ninth Sisters very uncomfortable.

But a warm current, I don't know what it is, is flowing through my heart.

[That's so pitiful. He clearly has a father, but he only experienced fatherly love now that he's grown up.]

The Minister of Works was taken aback, feeling that Shen Zhiyi was mocking him.

However, Shen Zhiyi is right. He has indeed been neglecting his family, which is the norm for most men.

The traditional division of labor, with men taking on external responsibilities and women managing the household, naturally leads to the neglect of family members.

The Minister of Works did not think there was anything wrong with this, but it was indeed necessary to take some time to spend with family.

"Let's go home."

Ninth Sister turned her head and found that the fortune teller who had been standing next to her was gone.

*

[Host, why did you stop watching?]

[Look, where didn't you see it? Look, the adopted son of the Minister of Justice is getting a beating from him.]

Two men raising a child, but it seems they're not very successful.

After watching the two people on the surveillance video beat their adopted son, Shen Zhiyi began to discuss how to raise the child.

"Fatty, how about another beating?"

The adopted son, who was lying on the bed like a corpse in pain, felt a chill run down his back.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review shook his head in a somber mood.

“Hitting someone might have worked when they were young, but now that they’re all grown up, it’s no use.”

"But we can't just ignore it."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review thought for a moment and said, "Throw him into the military camp."

"Okay, I'll go arrange it right now."

And so, another unfortunate person was added to the army camp.

[Host, shall we continue setting up the stall?]

"I'm not going to set off anymore, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

But you didn't earn a single penny.

"Setting up a stall is fun, and money is just a byproduct. Anyway, the monthly salary is enough. People shouldn't have too much money. Once they have too much, the money will always disappear for some inexplicable reason."

"Therefore, life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can."

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to have a big meal at Da Bao Lou!"

Shen Zhiyi returned to her stall and began packing up her things.

Suddenly everything went dark, and someone sat down.

"It's still early, why are you leaving so soon, sir?"
