Chapter 15 Searching the Room

"Hongyou, use more force!" Lu Yundi ordered sternly.

Hongyou raised her hand again, and this time, she used all her strength to hit Lu Yundi on the back with the ruler, making a crisp sound. Lu Yundi's body trembled slightly, but she didn't make a sound.

After the ten strokes of the ruler, Lu Yundi's body trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Hongyou: "Thank you, Hongyou."

Hong You put down the ruler and hurriedly helped Lu Yundi up. Tears flashed in her eyes. She bowed deeply: "Madam, you...you have suffered."

Lu Yundi gently patted Hongyou's hand, turned to look at the stunned Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin, and didn't say anything more.

……

Lu Yundi asked Hongyou to support her back to Rong Xitang, and she deliberately walked with a limp in front of everyone.

Hongyou supported her, carefully avoiding everyone's gaze, but she was extremely nervous.

Lu Yundi looked at Hongyou's nervous expression, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She gently patted Hongyou's hand and whispered, "Hongyou, don't worry, I'm fine."

Hongyou bit her lower lip and nodded.

Seeing Lu Yundi in such pain, everyone gathered around her and asked with concern: "Madam, how are you? Are you okay?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said in a deliberately trembling voice: "It's okay, it just hurts a little."

After hearing this, everyone's respect for the new mistress increased a little more.

At this time, Hongyou couldn't help but whispered, "Madam, is it really okay for you to do this? If the old lady knew about this, would she blame you?"

Lu Yundi smiled gently and looked at Hongyou firmly: "Hongyou, I know what you are worried about. But I do this for the good of Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin. They need to know what the real rules are and what responsibility is. Moreover, I believe that the old lady will understand me."

Everyone surrounded Lu Yundi and took her back to Rong Xi Tang, and urged her to rest.

Lu Yundi sat on the couch, looking at everyone's concerned eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Hongyou brought a bowl of hot medicine soup and handed it to Lu Yundi: "Madam, please drink some medicine, maybe it can relieve the pain."

Lu Yundi took the medicine bowl and chuckled, "Hongyou, I'm fine. You don't need to take the medicine."

Hongyou said anxiously: "Madam, your injury..."

Lu Yundi patted Hongyou's hand and said softly, "Hongyou, I just used my inner strength to resist the force of the ruler, and I didn't suffer any substantial damage. I performed this play for everyone to see."

Hong You widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yundi in disbelief: "Madam, are you...are you really okay?"

Lu Yundi nodded and smiled, "I'm fine. Hongyou, do you understand why I do this?"

Hong You pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, this is a self-torture tactic. You want to use your actions to educate the young masters and young ladies, set an example yourself, and let them know the consequences of making mistakes. Moreover, doing so can avoid causing them to rebel."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said, "That's right, Hongyou, you are really smart."

……

At this time in Qingfeng Tower, there was a warm breeze and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Yan Canglan was lying on the bed, and the court doctor was carefully applying pain-relieving and blood-dissolving ointment on his buttocks.

Yan Shuqin stood aside, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes full of worry.

The court doctor was very skilled. While applying the ointment, he comforted her, "Don't worry, young master. This ointment is very effective and will quickly relieve pain and dissolve blood stasis. However, it is best to avoid touching the wound as much as possible."

Yan Canglan curled his lips and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, doctor. I'll remember this. But this time, that evil woman really went too far. If it weren't for my good health, I would have let her succeed."

After saying this, he waved his hand and asked the court doctor to leave.

Yan Shuqin stepped forward, shook her head gently, and said, "Brother, you are wrong. Madam's discipline is actually for your own good. You have been too willful recently, and she is also worried that you will go astray in the future."

Yan Canglan suddenly looked at Yan Shuqin, his eyes widened, his face full of displeasure: "Sister, why are you helping Lu Yundi? She is clearly targeting me on purpose and wants to embarrass me. Look, now she has beaten me into this state!"

Yan Shuqin sighed and said, "Brother, don't you understand? Madam...she means well. If you can change your bad habits, she will treat you well. Besides, you can see that the scars are not serious, which shows that Madam didn't hit you hard!"

Yan Canglan didn't listen at all. He turned over and changed to a side-lying position. He frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Sister, if I write a letter to my grandparents and ask them to come back and drive Lu Yundi away, do you think they will agree?"

Yan Shuqin's face changed, and she said seriously: "Brother, you can't do this. Grandpa and grandma are old, and if they come back, it will definitely affect their health. Besides, after all, we were wrong first, we can't drive Madam away because of a momentary impulse."

Yan Canglan was unhappy, and said anxiously: "But I'm worried that my future life will be difficult. After this incident, that evil woman will definitely find a way to retaliate against me. I... I really don't know what to do."

Yan Shuqin gently held Yan Canglan's hand and said softly: "Brother, you have to believe me, things will always be resolved. The most important thing for you now is to reflect on your behavior and stop being willful. As for the lady, I will communicate with her properly."

Yan Canglan looked at his sister, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, but he was still a little worried: "Sister, will she really listen to you?"

"Master, something has happened! The maids and servants sent by the Madam are coming here. Look, they are not friendly!"

Just then, the maid Huaqin ran into the room in a panic to report.

Yan Canglan's face suddenly became solemn. He struggled to sit up straight, his eyes revealing an inviolable firmness. He took a deep breath, endured the pain, and asked in a deep voice: "Huaqin, what happened?"

Hua Qin panted and said hurriedly, "Master, the maids and servants sent by the Madam's courtyard said they wanted to search your room to see if you have any private money. They also said that if they find any, they will confiscate it. Now, they are at the door."

Yan Canglan's face became even gloomier. He clenched his fists and tried to stand up. However, a sharp pain made him fall back on the bed. He looked at the door, with a trace of helplessness and anger in his eyes.

At this time, Yan Shuqin came in. She looked at Yan Canglan's painful expression and felt a pang of pain in her heart. She walked to the bedside, gently patted Yan Canglan's hand, and said softly, "Brother, you take a rest first. I'll go check on the situation."

Yan Canglan shook his head and said firmly: "No, I can't let them do this. Shuqin, accompany me to the door to stop them."
