Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Yan Jie had originally been standing straight, but seeing that this battle would not end any time soon, and having just earnestly persuaded Bai Yun Lan until his mouth was dry and he was exhausted, he decided to rest for a while first.

The four people who had originally been anxious as if on fire, upon seeing Yan Jie's appearance, had the anxiety in their hearts instantly calm down.

They sat down around Yan Jie one after another, asking concernedly: "Jie'er, what on earth is going on?"

Yan Jie explained in detail what had happened today while instructing the servants to pour a cup of water for everyone.

He spoke until his mouth was dry, and everyone listened with rapt attention, finally understanding the ins and outs of the matter.

Just as Yan Jie was narrating, on the other side Wei Shengsheng was already panting from exhaustion, while Bai Yun Lan had been beaten who knows how many times, likewise panting and in a sorry state.

Bai Zihang saw this scene and couldn't help but feel some heartache. He quickly walked to Bai Yun Lan's side and said softly: "Wife, you rest first. Give me this feather duster, let me do it."

Wei Shengsheng, hearing this, was like one receiving a great pardon, and hurriedly handed the feather duster to Bai Zihang, then plopped down beside him, casually picking up Bai Zihang's cup and gulping down large mouthfuls with "gulu gulu" sounds.

After Bai Zihang took the feather duster, he waved it mercilessly; apart from the head, everywhere else became his target of attack.

Bai Yun Lan had run until he was completely exhausted, so he simply lay directly on the ground and said: "Father, beat me to death, I can't run anymore." Bai Zihang glared at him with an angry face, as if he wanted to breathe fire, and said through gritted teeth: "Is beating you the purpose? I beat you to make you remember this lesson!"

Bai Yun Lan was like a whipped dog, lying on the ground, panting heavily, and muttering in his mouth: "I've remembered the lesson, I won't dare go in again..."

Seeing this, Bai Zihang slightly calmed his anger, turned to glance at Wei Shengsheng, then looked at his son lying on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said to Wei Shengsheng: "The beating is about enough. How about giving him another chance?"

Hearing these words, Bai Yun Lan immediately became energized like he'd been injected with chicken blood, desperately stretching his neck and pricking up his ears, afraid of missing any word from Wei Shengsheng.

Only heard Wei Shengsheng ask unhurriedly: "Little calf, do you still dare to enter the gambling house next time?"

Bai Yun Lan, although already panting from exhaustion, still mustered the last bit of strength, and with his slightly hoarse voice, loudly answered: "I don't dare anymore!"

Wei Shengsheng seemed somewhat satisfied with this answer. She nodded, then continued: "Good, I hope you remember what you said today. If there's a next time, even if the Heavenly King and Old Father come, they can't save you! Understood?"

Bai Yun Lan, as if receiving a great pardon, suddenly became like a deflated ball, his whole body relaxing, and he let out a long sigh, saying: "I understand..."

At this moment, Wei Shengsheng suddenly remembered the matter of those five hundred taels of silver. She couldn't help but frown, looking at An Wangfei, and asked doubtfully: "Princess Consort Sister, did you give Bai Yun Lan money?"

An Wangfei's heart went "gedeng". She naturally knew why Wei Shengsheng would ask this, because the matter of her giving Bai Yun Lan money had surely already been known by Wei Shengsheng.

Immediately, An Wangfei no longer concealed anything at all, and frankly said: "I wasn't without specially preparing a gift for the child, so I just gave him a few banknotes, so he could buy whatever he liked."

After hearing this, Wei Shengsheng hurriedly waved her hands and said: "Princess Consort Sister, I absolutely don't mean to blame you! It's just that this time Bai Yun Lan lost so terribly, a full five hundred taels!

If it weren't for Qianqian and I arriving in time, I'm afraid he would have even lost the deed to Shenyi Gu! So, boys and men are not very reliable; you absolutely cannot leave too much money in their hands."

After hearing Wei Shengsheng's words, An Wangfei nodded thoughtfully and said in agreement: "Shengsheng, what you said is indeed reasonable. This time I indeed didn't consider things thoroughly enough."

Seeing this, Wei Shengsheng hurriedly explained: "Princess Consort Sister, I really don't mean to blame you. You must not take it to heart!" Seeing this, An Wangfei smiled slightly and comforted: "Shengsheng, I'm not that petty!"

Seeing that An Wangfei indeed showed no signs of anger, Wei Shengsheng then breathed a sigh of relief as if unburdened. And just at this time, Yan Jie, who had been quietly resting, suddenly spoke: "Mother, Second Aunt, I'll go take a look at Bai Second Brother, and by the way apply some medicine for him."

Wei Shengsheng said with a relaxed face: "No need, Jie'er. These are just minor skin injuries, nothing serious. Let him feel the pain; it can also be considered giving him a chance to remember the lesson."

Hearing her say this, although Yan Jie was somewhat worried in his heart, he couldn't continue to insist, and had no choice but to helplessly give up.

Just at this time, Bai Yun Lan on the side suddenly shouted: "Someone, quickly bring water for this Young Master. I want to bathe!"

Before his voice even fell, a young servant had already quickly taken a water bucket to fetch water. Seeing this, An Wangfei felt there was nothing for her to stay here for, so she got up and took her leave to depart.

As for the others, they each continued doing what they had originally been doing, as if what had just happened hadn't occurred.

Bai Yun Lan slowly walked into the bathroom, taking off his clothes while looking at the shocking red marks all over his body.

These red marks crisscrossed, and some places had even broken skin; a light touch would bring a sharp pain.

He carefully stepped into the bathtub, letting the warm water cover his body, feeling the warmth gradually seep into his skin. However, when the water touched those wounds, he still couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, making "hissing" sounds nonstop.

This bath was simply a torture for Bai Yun Lan. He endured the pain while gritting his teeth and washing his body, his movements unusually slow.

After great difficulty finishing the bath, Bai Yun Lan came out of the bathtub and dried his body with a towel. When she put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom, she saw Yan Jie sitting at the table at a glance.

Seeing her come out, Yan Jie hurriedly stood up and said concernedly: "Bai Second Brother, your injuries haven't healed yet. Let me apply medicine for you. You absolutely must not tell Second Aunt, otherwise I'll get scolded too."

Bai Yun Lan felt somewhat moved in his heart. He smiled and said: "You're still the best, Jie'er."

Yan Jie helplessly shook his head and said: "You, you, why are you so impulsive? I'm almost driven to death by your anger!"

Bai Yun Lan hehe laughed, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's not that I just got carried away for a moment. Next time I definitely won't be like this."

Saying this, he quickly took off his inner clothes while speaking, revealing his back covered in wounds.
