Old Lady Bai was frightened: Daren, we were just really joking with Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi. We have no ill intention. Daren, please forgive this old womans ignorance.

Do you think a simple sentence can make a committed sin disappear? If that is the case, then what do you think will happened to this world? If I kill you now and just say sorry to your family, I killed you by mistake. Do you think your family will forgive me and act as if nothing happen?

Meng Nan coldly sneered, then said to the two public servants near him: This old lady is guilty of her crime, let her take responsibility for 20 boards of punishment. The other accomplishes will be responsible for 10 boards each, execute immediately.

The public servants immediately came forward and asked the old lady to kneel down. Old Lady Bai desperately screamed: Daren, this old lady is too old for this, Im afraid that I wont be able to keep my life. I hope Daren will be merciful!

Meng Nan swept his eyes and looked at the frightened old lady. He raised an eyebrow and said: Its true. Your body and bones may not be able to withstand 20 boards of punishment. This official will give you a chance, as long as the other member of your family is willing to take 10 boards of punishment for you, I can reduce your punishment. How about it?

Old Lady Bai hurriedly nodded her head, its good to receive 10 boards of punishment than 20.

Then, she turned her head to look at her two sons. Bai Dazhu immediately turned to look away, as soon as he saw the old ladys eyes looking towards him.

When Bai Erzhu saw her mother gaze on him, he was very dissatisfied inside his heart. Now that the family will not get benefits, they were thinking of him?

Bai Erzhu also turned his head and looked away, while Bai Dabao hides behind Mrs. Lius back. Bai Xiaofeng didnt move, but he has no intention to volunteer. Bai Fugui was born with a soft heart, he was about to open his mouth, but he was stopped by his father. He didnt allow him to speak.

Old Lady Bai became so anxious, so her eyes fell on Mrs. Lius body: Guihua, you help this old lady for that 10 boards. You are still young, your body will be able to withstand it.

Mrs. Liu didnt expect that the old lady will choose her. They are both women. The old lady has the heart to save her two sons, but she doesnt have the heart to save other peoples daughter?

Mrs. Lius face became pale, as she said: Niang, I am not willing to help you. My body and bones can also not withstand it. You ask second brother-in-law. He is young and a man. His body is strong. He will be able to withstand it.

Old Lady Bai hasnt opened his mouth when Bai Erzhu shouted: Sister-in-law, you really dont have any conscience. When there are benefits to take, your family always come running first to take everything. But now that it is about punishment, your pushing it to us. Why dont you let elder brother take the 10 boards for Niang?

Mrs. Liu busily said: Isnt your elder brother injured? Youre in a good condition, your body can take 10 boards of punishment.

Bai Erzhus eyes then fell on Bai Dabaos body: Then, let Dabao do it. He is younger and stronger than I. His body is better than my old bones.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly waved her hand and said: No, no, not my Dabao, you let Fugui do it.

As the two of them continued arguing, the two public servants became impatient and said: If you will not finish your discussion yet, I will let each of you take 20 boards of punishment.

Bai Xiaofeng, who has never open his mouth, became annoyed. Especially now that he heard the punishment will increase. Bai Xiaofeng shouted in irritation: Father, why dont you and second uncle take 5 boards each, so it will be fair.

Mrs. Liu has always regarded Bai Xioafeng as their life-saving grace, so when she heard his words. She clapped her hands and agreed: Right, lets just do it like that, so it will be fair.
