Chapter 378  : No Intentions Toward Tan Mo

As expected, Wei Keli did not dare to move anymore.

Compared to bearing the whipping, it was more important to still be a Wei family member.

Wei Keli trembled from head to toe and was nervous as he knelt.

SHOO!

Butler Zhu whipped Wei Keli.

AAAHHHH! The scream showed how painful and miserable the whipping was.

Without protection from his clothing, the whip directly hit his flesh.

Wei Keli experienced the great pain of his flesh splitting open.

Li Xiangrong cried and fell into Wei Zhijian’s embrace. “It is going to leave scars!”

Old Madame Wei wasn’t worried at all. “Cosmetic treatments are so advanced now, what does such a little scar matter? Take care of it well and the scar left behind will be very faint. How simple it is to do a scar removal then. Moreover, would a man mind such a small scar?”

Old Mister Wei sneered. “Zhiqian has more scars from injuries than he does. Is it nice to look at a man’s body that is as smooth as a woman’s?”

Li Xiangrong’s breath caught in her throat, and she almost fainted.

Were the words of these two elders even humane?

Wei Keli was their great-grandson.

The pitiful shouts of Wei Keli could be heard. “Great Grandpa, Great Grandma! Spare me! I can’t stand it anymore!” AAAHHH! WUUU!

Wei Keli cried, shouted, and begged. “Butler Zhu, Grandpa Zhu, please hit me lighter! I beg of you, hit lighter!”

“Dad! Mom! Save me! Save me!”

“Great Grandpa, I beg of you, I cannot hold on anymore!” WUU! WUU! Wei Keli’s tears mixed with his snot, and it was all over his face.

As he opened his mouth to beg, his saliva also dripped uncontrollably.

It mixed with his tears and snot, and it dripped into little streams on the ground under his face and formed a small puddle.

Old Mister Wei and Old Madame Wei were not moved at all.

Old Mister Wei turned his head away in annoyance.

He had only been whipped twice, and he had already cried to this extent.

He had called out to everyone in this house and truly was useless.

“Uncle! Uncle, save me! I beg of you, spare me!” He was whipped again.

There were already three marks on Wei Keli’s back.

There were also tiny blood streaks around the whip marks, as if many needle tips had scratched his skin.

If one looked closely, there were small pearls of blood dripping from these blood streaks.

It was exactly these fine and small blood pearls which made the wounds appear like blood steaks.

In reality, the skin had already split open and was dripping blood.

“Uncle, I won’t have any intentions toward Tan Mo in the future. I will certainly keep my distance from her, spare me!” Wei Keli cried as he begged.

Ridicule filled his gaze as Wei Zhiqian looked at Wei Keli.

How could such a weak person feel that he was good enough for Tan Mo?

Behind Wei Keli, Butler Zhu did not show mercy at all.

If he had whipped him quickly, ten lashes would be over soon.

Wei Keli would feel less pain.

However, Butler Zhu would still pause for a moment after every time he whipped him, before he commenced the whipping again.

At the same time when the pain from the previous whipping became more pronounced and attacked Wei Keli’s senses, Wei Keli still had to nervously anticipate, as he did not know when the next whip would befall him.

This kind of unknown anticipation was truly torturous and Wei Keli’s whole body was tense.

Under such a state, the pain from the upcoming whipping would only be more intense.

It was also a mental torture.

It caused Wei Keli to tremble all over. He had not stopped trembling for a moment.

Butler Zhu was also very angry.

Tan Mo had been visiting the old mansion since she was young. She had always been an adorable little girl who called him Grandpa Zhu with her little girl’s voice.

Every time Tan Mo would come, he would personally receive her at the door.

There was a distance from the entrance of the old mansion to the main hall. Even adults would need to walk for more than ten minutes.

At that time, Tan Mo’s legs were short, and it was slow and arduous for her to walk.

She would get tired after she walked a short distance.

Then she would extend her arms to him and with a childlike tone she would shout, “Grandpa Zhu, carry me!”

And Butler Zhu would happily carry Tan Mo.

At that time, Tan Mo was chubby.

It was difficult to feel her bones and it was obvious how heavy she was.

Even for Butler Zhu, it was a little tiring to carry her.

However, Butler Zhu did not say anything about that but still carried her happily.

Usually, Tan Mo was in Wei Zhiqian’s embrace, and it was rare for him to have a chance to carry Tan Mo. He naturally took the opportunity.

Butler Zhu did not have to receive Tan Mo at the entrance every time.

However, he did it because he was waiting for the happy moment when Tan Mo would ask him to carry her.

Every time Tan Mo was around, the old mansion was especially lively.

There was only the addition of this small child, but it was much livelier.

They could see the figure of Tan Mo running around everywhere.

Sometimes she would be with the gardener, Liu, and study the flower species.

Sometimes she would sit obediently beside Aunt Zhang and cup her cheek in her hand as she watched Aunt Zhang do some handiwork, making scrap cloth into storage tools for daily use.

Sometimes when Tan Mo was tired, she would lie down and sleep on Butler Zhu’s knees.

At such times, they must not be seen by Old Mister Wei, or else Old Mister Wei would be very jealous.

At the same time, he was also worried that he would wake Tan Mo up so he could only glare at Butler Zhu.

Even though Butler Zhu was very stressed by it, however, compared to the happiness of Tan Mo sleeping in his embrace, Butler Zhu would take on this bit of stress.

Moreover, since Tan Mo’s frequent visits to the old mansion, Old Madame Wei’s headaches had gotten better, and she had finally recovered after some time.

Until now, after nearly 12 years had passed, she did not have headaches again and was fully cured.

In the beginning when the Old Madame said that Tan Mo was a lucky star, it was partly to glorify Tan Mo.

However, no one in the old mansion would object if someone said Tan Mo was a lucky star.

Tan Mo was not just a child who had grown up under the watch of the two elders.

She was also a child whom everyone in the old mansion had watched as she grew up.

To think that Wei Keli had such bad intentions toward Tan Mo.

In their eyes, Tan Mo was still the little child from years ago.

She was the young lady whom they had watched together as she grew!

Butler Zhu was very angry as he thought about it and naturally did not show mercy.

Even the others from the old mansion had stayed for a long time watching.

It was after all a sensitive matter to use the family law on Wei Keli, thus only Butler Zhu was in the hall.

However, the others were hiding outside the main hall and secretly watching.

They were all very angry when they heard that Wei Keli wanted to scheme against Tan Mo.

They only hated that they could not personally whip him and could only hide outside and secretly cheer Butler Zhu on.

Even if Tan Mo did not fall into his trap, that was because Wei Zhiqian had protected her well.

However, that did not mean that Wei Keli could be let off the hook.

Previously when Old Mister Wei had angrily instructed Butler Zhu to bring Wei Keli back from the hot springs manor, all the people at the old mansion had secretly followed him to the door.

Of course, the two elders knew all about it.
