Before Ye Haoming and his siblings left, they went to the hall to lodge a complaint. The four guards couldn't stop them, nor could they hurt the young relatives of the master's family. After the complaint, they were taken outside the mansion.
When Qiu Yu, Old Mrs. Ye's main maid, went to bring them back, the siblings swaggered in, looking like they owned the place, thinking that now Ah Zhi, that foolish girl, would surely be punished with a beating.
The hall was quiet, no one spoke.
Beside the main seat on the sandalwood table was a long, finger-thick slender rod, which hurt quite a bit when it struck the body.
Ye Qingqing, smarter than her brother, called out immediately after being brought back, with an aggrieved look on her face: "Grandmother, finally you've called your granddaughter back. Why didn't Cousin Ah Zhi personally come to fetch me? It was her who drove me out."
She never forgot to scheme against her cousin.
