At this point, Yun Aiguo had been whipped to the point where he no longer had the strength to shout. He glared at Yun Youyou with cold malice.
His voice was faint, like a mosquito buzzing:
“Yun Youyou… what on earth are you going crazy for?”
“I’m going to report you for abusing your father! You deserve it~~”
Hearing this, Yun Youyou spoke coldly, reminding him:
“You’re not my father. My real parents entrusted so much wealth to you.”
“How did all four of you treat me? You all deserve to die~~”
Yun Aiguo’s pupils dilated violently, his face full of disbelief.
He couldn’t understand how Yun Youyou knew about this, and even more, how the usually meek Yun Youyou dared to act against him.
Too shocked to feel the pain on his body, his voice trembled:
“You… how did you find out? Who told you?”
Yun Youyou paused her whipping, smiling faintly:
“That’s not important. Don’t dwell on the details. What matters is the wealth you owe me—how do you plan to repay it?”
“As for the whippings over all these years, I can lash all four of you every day. A lifetime is long enough—you’ll eventually pay back what you owe.”
Yun Aiguo, lying on the ground, was writhing in unbearable pain.
Hearing Yun Youyou’s words, a chill ran through him. Thinking about being whipped every day, his face showed absolute refusal. In his mind, he made a decision: he must sell this wretched daughter as soon as possible.
Despite the turmoil inside, his expression remained controlled. Gritting his teeth, he begged:
“You… You You… even if we aren’t your real parents, we raised you all these years! The saying goes, ‘The love of upbringing surpasses the love of birth.’ You can’t be so ungrateful~~”
Hearing Yun Aiguo accuse her of being ungrateful, Yun Youyou said nothing extra and resumed whipping him.
Whap! Whap!
Each lash struck Yun Aiguo’s legs. He rolled on the ground, screaming incessantly:
“Arrgh~~”
“You-you… I was wrong~~”
“Please stop! Don’t hit me anymore~~”
“I’m willing to cut ties with you! From now on… we’ll never associate again~~”
Whap! Whap!
“Ahhh~~”
Yun Aiguo trembled violently on the floor.
Yun Youyou glared at him, speaking coldly:
“Dream on. You owe me so much wealth, plus 15 years of whipping. You actually think severing ties will erase it all?”
“Let me tell you: don’t even think about selling me, and don’t think about revenge. I’ll act faster and harder than you.”
“By the way, the money you owe me—how do you plan to repay it? I know exactly how much, after all, I found the letters my parents left me.”
Hearing this, Yun Aiguo shook his head repeatedly, utterly disbelieving Yun Youyou’s words.
He muttered to himself:
“Impossible… absolutely impossible… Those letters my parents left you—I burned them long ago. How could they still exist?”
The siblings in the kitchen realized that their family would never be able to exploit Yun Youyou again. Moreover, it seemed they would have to repay her money and make up for the 15 years of abuse she suffered.
Yun Youran’s eyes grew colder. She tugged at her brother’s sleeve:
“Big brother, we can’t let Yun Youyou stay. Don’t even think about using her to get money. This problem must be resolved quickly, so our family can have peace.”
Yun Zhenguo, hearing his sister, was utterly shocked. He couldn’t believe his normally gentle sister had become so ruthless.
Swallowing hard, he asked:
“Sister… how did you become like this?”
“You used to be so gentle!”
He suddenly stopped speaking. He feared his sister had always been pretending, just like himself.
Seeing their father in the main hall, battered and barely recognizable, he worried: what if Yun Youyou still wasn’t satisfied after beating him? What if she came after them next?
His expression hardened, eyes turning cold and ruthless. He looked back at his sister and whispered:
“Let’s go. Rather than run, we should solve the problem at its root. If we handle Yun Youyou, maybe we can escape.”
Yun Youran, seeing her brother agree, nodded:
“Alright, big brother, let’s go.”
The siblings entered the main hall and saw Yun Aiguo already unconscious.
They didn’t go to help him, instead looking at Yun Youyou with pleading eyes.
“Third sister, it was our fault before. Can you not hold it against us? We were just joking with you before.”
Yun Youran, hearing her brother, thought he was shameless. But to avoid punishment, she tried to explain:
“Third sister, big brother is right. We were just joking before, can you—”
Yun Youyou glared coldly at the two siblings. She twirled the whip in her hand.
“Do you think I’m three years old? If you say it was a joke, then I’ll joke with you every day from now on, alright?”
Whap!
The whip struck Yun Youran’s face, immediately leaving a bloodstain.
The next second, screams and curses erupted:
“Ahhh~~”
“My face! My face is bleeding! Yun Youyou, how dare you ruin my looks! You deserve to die~~”
Whap! Whap!
The whip left crisscrossed marks all over Yun Youran’s face.
“Arrgh~~”
“Yun Youyou, you won’t get away with this~~”
“How dare you? You’re just a servant! How dare you strike me?”
“You’re just jealous I’m more beautiful than you, that’s why—”
Yun Youyou, enjoying her whipping, paused only to glare at Yun Youran.
“Yun Youran, you still haven’t learned, huh?”
Whap! Whap!
Her right hand continued, each lash hitting Yun Youran.
“Ahhh~~”
In unbearable pain, Yun Youran rolled on the ground.
“Yun Youyou, stop~~”
Standing aside, Yun Zhenguo realized they had to subdue Yun Youyou quickly, or none of them would escape her wrath.
While Yun Youyou was whipping his sister, he picked up the fallen disciplinary stick and cautiously approached her, intending to knock her down with a single strike.
He raised the stick, aiming for Yun Youyou’s temple. Excited, he imagined her dying under it.
Whap!
Before he could even laugh, a sharp pain shot across his face.
“Ahhh~~ my face! What just happened?!”
