Volume 1: Yun Family Has A Daughter Chapter 42: Punishment Again

  Summer day, the morning sunlight is particularly dazzling! The servants of Yunfu all got up early and started their busy work.

  On the contrary, Si Mian Ge was very quiet, no one was seen sweeping in the yard, and the master bedroom door was still tightly closed. In the inner room, the bright environment on the big bed did not wake up Si Mian, only to see her lying on the bed in a large character shape, with extremely poor sleeping posture, eyes tightly closed, and mouth corners still had a transparent watery substance, from which it can be seen that she slept so sweetly!

  "Bang!" The sound was like the door being kicked open, and it abruptly woke up the person on the bed. He sat up suddenly, his unopened eyes and slightly furrowed brow indicating that he was not pleased at all!

  "You're a shameless little wretch who's ruining our family's reputation! You come back in the middle of the night and still dare to drink? Do you have any sense of shame left?"

  Misty listened to the scolding noise in her ear, coupled with a hangover, her head was throbbing with pain, and she felt very uncomfortable! Irritated, she opened her eyes, and it took a while for her to see everything clearly in front of her.

  Looking at the frosty face of the old woman and the triumphant face of Yun Yue, humph, they all came, bringing so many people, is this catching adultery or searching the house?!

  He yawned crudely and looked at the fierce men in front of him, saying lightly: "What's wrong, running to my Si Meng Pavilion so early in the morning, is there something going on?"

  "How dare you say that! Where did you run off to last night? Don't forget, you're still under house arrest!"

  The old lady who was being supported by others seemed to have finally found her grip and shouted triumphantly at Momo.

  "Last night was the Moon Goddess Festival, what's wrong with me sneaking out to have some fun? I clearly came back very early, who said I only got back at midnight?"

  Here is the translation:

  At this point, Momo felt a little guilty, she really didn't know when she came back, only remembered running into that person who looked exactly like Xuan, and then being taken to the wine house by Beichen Ye, drinking some wine on her own, and then...and then, she couldn't remember! Thinking of Xuan, Momo's heart ached again! Could it be that she really had mistaken someone for him?

  The old lady saw her not only being careless but also daring to lie, and she couldn't help getting more and more angry!

  "Hmph, last night Qinghe and Yunyao, the two maidservants, came back crying and told Warchild that you were gone. Warchild sent all the servants in the mansion to search for you everywhere, but they still couldn't find you by midnight. Originally, he was going to report it to the authorities, but then King Yu personally brought you back, holding you in his arms. How dare you say you came back early?"

  This is a miscalculation! I never thought this matter would be known to everyone! Looking at the old lady's attitude, she doesn't want to let her off easily! What can be done? It's also unknown whether Old Dad will finish his morning court and rush back to save her life!

  Still can't think of a good idea to get out of this!

  Then, pretending to be head-aching and rubbing his temples, he said with a painful expression: "Old lady, my head hurts so much that I don't remember anything. You see, wait until I feel better, then you can ask me again, okay?"

  The old lady was stunned upon hearing this and didn't know what kind of idea this dead girl had come up with again.

  "Sister, we all know what you did last night! Don't drag things out, it's still early before Father gets back from his morning walk! You'd better apologize to Grandma!"

  Yun Yue didn't know what she was thinking, she went to Taihe Institute so early and asked her grandmother to come over, just to take advantage of her father's absence and severely punish her through her grandmother!

  The old lady heard this, and immediately reacted, scolding the girl in her heart for being cunning. Her tone became even more unpleasant as she said: "Regardless of whether you admit it or not, it's a fact that you sneaked out of the house during your confinement; it's also a fact that you, a young lady, went drinking outside, and getting cozy with Prince Yu is also wrong. Even if Zhan Er was here today, you wouldn't be able to escape punishment!"

  Mo Mo was extremely depressed at this time, and in her heart, she had scolded Yun Yue, who liked to interfere with other people's business, hundreds of times. Hearing what the old woman said, she also knew that even if her father came back, he wouldn't be able to save her. So she sat on the bed, stifling her anger, and didn't say a word.

  Yun Yue's heart was filled with hatred at this moment! Yesterday, she saw King Yu personally carrying that despicable woman back, and she couldn't help but want to tear the seductress limb from limb. Originally, she wanted to persuade her grandmother to punish her, but King Yu spoke up for her, making Yun Yue so angry she wanted to rip her apart!

  The old lady saw that Momo was speechless and a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes, she didn't believe she couldn't handle a little maid!

  "Considering you're a first-time offender, I'll give you 50 slaps on the palm, order you to copy out the Family Rules 100 times, and put you under house arrest for a month! Besides, since you grew up in the mountains and countryside, you naturally don't know the rules of a large household. I've arranged for a governess to teach you etiquette during your confinement, so learn it well!"

  Mo Mo was taken aback by the old lady's words, as she had expected to be punished even more severely based on her own guesses. However, this punishment wasn't that severe after all.

  The old lady naturally wanted to severely punish her, but last night, King Yu personally pleaded for leniency. If the punishment was too severe and King Yu found out, it would be inevitable that he would think the General's Manor did not give him face. Moreover... with eyes that had a deeper meaning, she glanced at her second granddaughter who was listening and understanding beside her, if possible...

  So, Momo began her month-long confinement again! During this time, she finally understood why the old lady had not been punished severely. It turned out that she wanted to let the nanny "take care of it" instead.

  With a crisp "crack", Yuan Ayi saw Momo lift her skirt, and with a ruler in hand, slapped it on her calf, expressionless: "Young lady, please mind your manners!"

  Misty's legs involuntarily drew back, glaring at her angrily. These past few days, as long as she had the slightest improper behavior or speech, her ruler would come out. Summer was already wearing little to begin with, and this nanny showed no mercy, actually hitting her until her body was covered in red marks.

  At first, Yun took advantage of the war to visit her. She pretended to be pitiful and complained about her hardships. Originally, Father was heartbroken when he saw the scars on her body, but unexpectedly, this Madame Yuan had a silver tongue, and with just a few words, she convinced Father and dispelled his doubts, leaving him extremely depressed.

  It's said that this aunt was released from the palace, unmarried, and specializes in teaching etiquette to young ladies of wealthy families. She is notoriously strict. If this aunt intentionally found fault with her, it would be easier to say, she could take the opportunity to drive her out. However, she only treated her a bit harshly, without intentionally making things difficult for her, and when Yunyue occasionally provoked her, she pretended not to know, simply devoting herself wholeheartedly to instructing her.

  Yun Yue often came to Si Mian Ge, and every time she saw the new injuries on her body, she would not forget to mock her with cold words. Si Mian endured it as if Yun Yue was farting, but after many times, even Yuan Niangniang got tired of it, so next time Yun Yue came, she found an excuse to get rid of her.

  So, although sometimes looking at this girl is annoying, she hasn't been treated unfairly. If she really is being unreasonable and making a fuss, I'm afraid Father and Mother would only think that she's too willful and doesn't know what's good for her.

  Worry saw her mother scolding Muzi several times, but couldn't bear to watch and wanted to teach her a lesson, only to be stopped.

  When she had nothing to do, Mo Mo often stared at a portrait in a daze. The person in the painting was the man she saw that night, only with modern attire.

  She knew that Wu You and Second Master had dealt with people from the Jianghu when they were at Gu Yun Temple, so she also asked Wu You if there was an organization in the Jianghu that helped people find others. She found out about a place called Wu Chen Palace, which specialized in gathering information and finding people...

  I just hope to get news as soon as possible!
