Chapter 165: People Could Be Killed but Not Humiliated

“Sister, this is too much! As the saying goes, a man can be killed but not humiliated. How can you treat my father like this!”

Yun Lian did not want to kneel to Yun Xi, so she used Yun Gang as a shield and even showed off her filial side.

“Oh? is that so? If you don’t want to kowtow to me, then let’s follow the normal procedure. What kind of punishment should one receive for intentionally hurting others?”

Yun Xi deliberately raised her tone, as if she was really thinking about what kind of punishment their family would receive.

“Ah!”

Yun Gang cried out in surprise.

“No! No!”

Liu Fang also kept shaking her head.

“Aunt, how can you say no? Yun Lian specially requested this for your sake.”

Yun Xi waved her hand. She had already given them a way out, but someone else refused her kindness.

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t… I didn’t mean it that way.” Yun Lian also began to shake her head.

“Hurry up and shut your mouth. Do you still think that this matter is a joke?”

Yun Gang berated Yun Lian.

Liu Fang gritted her teeth and spoke first.

“I… I’ll kowtow to You!”

Liu Fang hardened her heart and gritted her teeth. She had already made up her mind. As long as she was still alive, she could still get her revenge someday.

After Liu Fang said this, she directly kowtowed three times on the ground.

Each kowtow was especially loud, and this momentum even shocked Yun Gang and Yun Lian.

“Good, good, very good! You must also learn from your aunt and kowtow loud and clear.”

Yun Xi had been clapping and cheering happily. When Chen Li saw this scene, she felt a pressure at the back of her nose. Chen Li also felt a sense of satisfaction from getting revenge. After so many years of forbearance, what she earned was further oppression from others. They would become stronger and give others a sense of intimidation so that they would not be easily bullied.

Now that she saw her daughter being so strong, Chen Li felt very relieved.

“And my sister, uncle, and Yun Lang. Do you want to go through the normal legal procedures?”

Seeing that these people were still not moving, Yun Xi threatened them with a “gentle” tone.

“I’ll kowtow to you six times. If not, I’ll kowtow to you nine times. Can you let my husband and my son go?”

Liu Fang looked at Yun Xi and said very sincerely.

“Aunt, you are so courageous. But why are you only kowtowing on behalf of uncle and Yun Lang, and not on behalf of my sister, Yun Lian?”

Yun Xi’s gaze was filled with provocation as she looked at Yun Lian.

“Could it be that aunt doesn’t treat my sister as a family at all?” Yun Xi continued to fan the flames.

Upon hearing this, the sweat on Liu Fang’s forehead dropped even more.

She did not know how to answer.

She was indeed a little flustered just now. She only cared about her husband and her son. She did not expect to kowtow for an adopted daughter.

“It’s okay, mom. I’m a girl. I can take any hardship. Isn’t it just kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to my sister three times? Yun Lian can take this kind of injustice. I’m also willing to suffer on behalf of my father and younger brother.”

Yun Lian acted as if she was the most sensible person and once again kneeled on the ground gently and weakly.

This time, Liu Fang did not stop Yun Lian, but her eyes were sparkling with tears.

“Alright, since you’re so sensible, Yun Lian, then you can take your mother’s place and kowtow on behalf of your father and younger brother.”

These words completely broke Yun Lian’s heart. She had always thought that Liu Fang still regarded her as her daughter. In situations like this, she did not expect that Liu Fang would completely disregard her. Liu Fang would never be her own mother, and naturally, she would not act in consideration for Yun Lian.

However, Yun Lian could not break up with Liu Fang now. After all, her relationship with Yun Shan’s family was not very good. If she did not have Liu Fang to support her, her life would probably be even more difficult.

A wise man does not take a loss. Yun Lian directly kowtowed nine times to Yun Xi on the ground. Yun Lian’s every kowtow was especially honest. One could hear the heavy thuds.

After kowtowing nine times, Yun Lian’s forehead also swelled up. She looked extremely miserable.
