My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

“If she respected me, would I have been forced to move out of the old house I have lived in with your father for decades? If she respected me, would she knowingly whip Hiao Yin, whose grandmother saved my life? Is she hitting Qiao Yin? She’s slapping my face!”

Old Madam was fuming with rage, sternly scolding the two maids: “What are you standing there for? She was so ruthless with Qiao Yin, why aren’t you acting now? Strike! Those who struck Qiao Yin, strike her too!”

However, the maids dared not move, even the steward’s whip was not dared to be taken.

Old Madam, in the extremity of her rage, laughed, she took the whip, and without a word, she flung it on Madam Lu!

Madam Lu never expected that she would actually strike her, and immediately screamed in agony.

“Stop!”

Lu Mingzhen roared in anger, stepping forward to grab the whip.

Old Madam directly gave him a lash too!

Lu Mingzhen was simply incredulous: “Mother! Are you actually hitting me too? All for Qiao Yin?!”

“It was you who insisted on coming forward, get out of my way!”

But Old Madam did not stop, hitting Madam Lu two more times. Yet when she wanted to strike again, Lu Mingzhen stood in front of Madam Lu, resolutely protecting her.

Old Madam’s momentum grew stronger: “She whipped Qiao Yin four times, I gave you two four lashes as well, barely even! In future, whoever dares to touch Qiao Yin, ask me if I agree! Also, from today onwards, I’m moving back in! This is the house left to me by my husband before his death, if anyone should move, it should be you two!”

Madam Lu fell into Lu Mingzhen’s arms, screaming in pain. When she heard that Old Madam wanted to move back in, she nearly passed out in shock!

She was used to being the mistress of the house, how could she tolerate living with her mother-in-law!

She cried, tears streaming down her face, telling Lu Mingzhen: “I can’t live anymore. At this old age, I have to suffer beatings from my mother-in-law. If this gets out, how can I face the world? Mingzhen, you might as well just let Old Madam beat me to death.”

Lu Mingzhen was too angry for words: “Mother, have you lost your mind! For the sake of Qiao Yin, you don’t care about the dignity of the Lu family, not even the life of your daughter-in-law!”

Old Madam felt a lot better after venting her anger, she didn’t even mind being scolded by her son for being confused.

She had been holding a grudge against Madam Lu for a long time, but for the sake of her son and family peace, she had been tolerating it, even being forced to leave the ancestral home. Now, thanks to the incident with Qiao Yin, she finally let off some steam.

She ignored her son and went upstairs with the staff to tidy up the room.

Madam Lu’s mournful cries echoed through the entire villa.

This time she wasn’t pretending to cry, she was genuinely crying, not only because of the pain, but because she felt humiliated.

Lu Mingzhen called the steward to bring the family doctor as Madam Lu’s cries were too chilling.

But when they undressed to examine her, there were three reddish marks on Madam Lu’s body, but the skin wasn’t broken, a great contrast to Qiao Yin’s bloody appearance.

Lu Mingzhen also took a lash, but it didn’t hurt much, he thought his mother was sparing him.

Only then did he realize that the old lady was just old and weak, and couldn’t hit as hard as the two maids could.

The two maids certainly didn’t dare to strike with all their might, they must have been instructed to hit as hard as they did.

He was a bit confused, “Suhe, weren’t you always the most kind-hearted? Why were you so harsh on Qiao Yin this time? You were never like this before.”

“When did I ever have the heart to hurt her? I instructed the maids to hit her, just to scare her a bit, I didn’t expect them to hit so hard.”

Madam Lu couldn’t stop crying: “Why are you still thinking about that little wench at this point? I’m suffering because of her, don’t you care about my injuries? Aren’t you going to console me?”

“Always calling her a little wench, Yao Suhe, where is your courtesy?!”

Madam Lu gritted her teeth secretly, blaming all this on Qiao Yin!

This score was all on her, there was plenty of time to deal with her later, no need to tell Lu Mingzhen now, lest he think she’s a wicked mother-in-law..
