Chapter 555 A group of people who are bored and have nothing better to do than voluntarily kneel dow
This exclamation instantly drew everyone's attention precisely to Lu Wangyou's neck!
On his skin, which was not fully covered by his moon-white collar, there were several thin red marks. Although they were not deep, they were particularly eye-catching, and anyone who saw them could imagine some ambiguous scenes.
Upon seeing this, Fu Wenzhu's old face flushed red instantly. He then straightened up, pointed at Lu Wangyou, and his voice trembled with anger.
"You, Lu Wangyou! On the surface you're all righteous and gentlemanly, but it turns out you... you've joined them in their foolishness too! Go! Kneel over there and reflect on your actions!"
A fleeting moment of embarrassment crossed Lu Wangyou's gentle face, but she quickly regained her composure.
He cupped his hands in greeting to Fu Wenzhu, without offering any explanation, and followed her instructions to walk to Ling Xuzi's side, lifting his robe and kneeling properly.
Yuwen Xiao's gaze swept over the "punishment camp" where five men had already knelt, and then he caught sight of Yuwen Ze, who was holding a child and watching the commotion with indifference. His anger flared up, and he lashed out at Yuwen Ze.
"Yuwen Ze! What are you looking at?! Your father and brother are both kneeling and reflecting on their actions, do you think you can get away with it? All you do is spoil your brother and never discipline him properly! You go and kneel down too!"
Yuwen Ze felt this was an utterly undeserved disaster, and he spoke with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Mother! I... I was just watching the fun, and now I'm being forced to kneel along with them. It's so unfair!"
"injustice?"
Yuwen Xiao glared and poked the other person's forehead.
"Haven't you heard that the eldest brother is like a father? Yuwen Yi has not been properly taught, and it's your fault as the eldest brother for not supervising him properly. Enough nonsense, get down on your knees right now!"
Fu Wenzhu nodded repeatedly as she listened, finding Yuwen Xiao's words quite reasonable, and immediately turned to Fu Xiuyu and said.
"Master Yuwen is absolutely right! Fu Xiuyu, you too, kneel down!"
"No way, Grandpa, what does this have to do with me? Wangyou is my junior brother, not my son..."
Fu Xiuyu looked resistant, but before he could finish speaking, Fu Wenzhu interrupted him sharply.
"Didn't you hear what Master Yuwen said about the eldest brother being like a father? Wangyou has become like this because you, as his senior brother, haven't disciplined him properly. Stop dawdling and go kneel over there right now!"
As Fu Wenzhu spoke, she raised her fist, as if to say, "Try kneeling if you don't want to."
"I!"
Looking at his grandfather's stern eyes, Fu Xiuyu could only sigh dejectedly and walk towards the line of people being punished by kneeling.
"Come, come, let us innocent people who were implicated kneel here and refuse to associate with those who deserve to be punished!"
Upon seeing several more fellow sufferers suddenly appear, Yuwen Cheng perked up immediately, patting the seats on either side with a smile, his tone full of bittersweet humor.
"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to kneel here!"
Madam Xue suddenly spoke up, and without saying a word, she walked directly to Fu Xiuyu's side and knelt down in a grand manner.
"Xiao Xue, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing this, Fu Wenzhu quickly stepped forward to help Madam Xue up.
"This has nothing to do with you. What kind of behavior is it of you to be kneeling here? Get up right now!"
But Madam Xue gently shook her head, her eyes resolute.
“Uncle Fu, I’ve watched Wangyou grow up since he was a child. Now that he has made a mistake, I, as his uncle, also bear the responsibility for not guiding him properly. We should reflect on our mistakes together!”
"Oh! You're just too honest, kid!"
Fu Wenzhu patted Madam Xue's shoulder helplessly and didn't press the matter any further.
Two hours later, accompanied by Rakshasa and Yaksha, Bai Yue finally came out of the room.
The weariness in her eyes had faded considerably, and her spirits had improved significantly.
However, the sight that greeted her as soon as she stepped out of the room stunned her.
On the bluestone slabs of the courtyard, eight grown men, young and old, were kneeling in a row, each with a different posture, but all of them bowed their heads respectfully, creating a rather spectacular scene.
Bai Yue blinked, walked forward with a puzzled look on her face, squatted down, and asked curiously.
"What...what are you doing? Why are you all kneeling here?"
Yuwen Cheng, who was kneeling in the middle, immediately raised his head, his face full of helplessness. He pointed to Yuwen Yi, Hua Mu'an, Ling Xuzi and Lu Wangyou on his left and explained.
"Xiaoyue, these four are the 'deserving-punishment group'! They must have tormented you a lot last night, so your senior sister and Doctor Fu ordered you to reflect on your actions!"
He then pointed to himself, and to Yuwen Ze and Fu Xiuyu beside him, who both looked utterly hopeless.
"The three of us are an innocent bystander group caught in the crossfire! My fault lies with my father, his with his brother, and Fu Xiuyu's with his uncle. We are completely innocent!"
After hearing this, Bai Yue couldn't help but chuckle. Her gaze fell on Madam Xue, who was also kneeling but with an exceptionally solemn expression. She pointed at him and asked curiously.
"Then... what about Uncle Xue? Which group does he belong to?"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cheng's eyes flashed with a mischievous glint, and he grinned.
"Him? He belongs to the 'idle and bored group who are willing to kneel down for no reason'!"
"Yuwen Cheng! Stop talking nonsense!"
Fu Xiuyu immediately glared at him and hurriedly defended his friend.
"Xiao Xue feels he has failed in his parenting, and as an elder, he also bears some responsibility. He feels guilty, which is why he is willing to come here to apologize. It's not because he's bored or has nothing better to do!"
Seeing that Yuwen Cheng dared to tease her man, Yaksha, standing to the side, flashed a hint of displeasure in her charming eyes. Then, her eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.
She gracefully walked up to Yuwen Cheng, took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with pink and white peach blossoms from her bosom, and deliberately spoke in a coquettish voice.
"Cheng~ Brother~, you must be exhausted from kneeling for so long, right? Look at you, your forehead is all sweaty. Here, let me wipe your sweat for you~"
As she spoke, her jade-like hand holding the silk handkerchief made a gesture as if to brush it across Yuwen Cheng's face, her posture alluring.
The other person was so startled by her sudden "enthusiasm" that they froze, their skin crawling with goosebumps. Before they could even wave their hands in refusal, they heard a roar in their ear.
"Yu-Wen-Cheng!"
Immediately afterward, a figure swept between the two like a whirlwind! It was none other than Yuwen Xiao, whose face was covered in frost and whose phoenix eyes blazed with fire!
She slapped away the hand that was pretending to be a demon, stared intently at Yuwen Cheng, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"You! Come! Inside! With! Me!"
Upon seeing his senior sister's murderous expression, Yuwen Cheng let out a pitiful cry, "I'm innocent!" But before he could defend himself, Yuwen Xiao grabbed his arm and, like lifting a chick, forcibly pulled him up from the ground and dragged him into the room.
As Yaksha watched Yuwen Cheng being dragged away, she smugly put the silk handkerchief back into her bosom, let out a coquettish snort, and her eyes were full of the smile of a successful scheme.
However, her act of "righteousness" made Madam Xue, who was kneeling on the ground, tear up. She looked up at her pitifully, her voice filled with grievance.
"Baby...you...you still like that pretty boy Yuwen Cheng, don't you? Is that why you took the initiative to wipe his sweat...Am I nothing to you at all?"
