When he heard that, Ye Gu felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was suffocating. There was a vicious, murderous glint in his eyes!
“The young mistress looks very pale. I’m going to make her some brown sugar syrup,” Huan Huan said weakly, frightened by the look in his eyes.
Hearing what she said, Ye Gu said, “Go ahead. Take good care of the young mistress!”
Huan Huan immediately nodded. Ye Gu left with a cold expression on his face.
…..
At the Jin Garden’s indoor swimming pool.
The kitchen manager kneeled on the floor. Long Sijue had a whip in his hand and he was las.h.i.+ng the man with force. The kitchen manager was in so much pain that he howled in anguish and kept begging Long Sijue to stop.
The butler was watching from afar. He was so terrified that he broke into a cold sweat. Every servant in the indoor swimming pool remained silent.
They had never seen the young master so angry. It was also the first time they saw him personally punis.h.i.+ng someone.
Within minutes, the kitchen manager was covered in blood and wounds. His clothes had been torn into shreds. He kept begging for mercy, “Young master, please spare my life. It was the mistress who ordered me to do that… or else I wouldn’t dare to. Young master, please spare my life!”
At this point, the kitchen manager no longer dared to withhold the truth. He could tell that the young master was trying to kill him!
The kitchen manager regretted his action very much. He should not have listened to Xiao Mingyan. He a.s.sumed that if he pleased the mistress of the household, his future would be bright and full of hope. He had forgotten that if he angered the young master, he would certainly be done for!
Hearing that, Long Sijue finally stopped. The kitchen manager thought he was spared. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, Long Sijue tossed the whip to Ye Gu.
Long Sijue turned, walked away and sat down in a lounge chair. Ye Gu took off his vest and flung it away. He then unb.u.t.toned the top few b.u.t.tons on his s.h.i.+rt. As the kitchen manager looked at him with a horrified expression, Ye Gu started whipping him with force…
There were many types of whips that were used for punishment in Jin Garden. The one in Ye Gu’s hand inflicted a lot of pain but would not mortally wound someone. The people who were receiving the punishment would not faint or die easily.
Long Sijue felt that he had punished the kitchen manager enough, and he asked Ye Gu to stop. Just as the kitchen manager sighed in relief, Ye Gu kicked him into the swimming pool. They had filled half the pool with ice cubes before the las.h.i.+ng started.
In that very instant, the sous-chef felt as if his soul had left his body. The icy water soaked through his fresh wounds. Coldness wrapped around him like countless vipers and dug into his skin. That feeling was more than mere physical pain. It was driving him crazy…
Long Sijue stared coldly at the man who was struggling and begging for mercy in the icy water. The look in his eyes was chillier than ice.
If his woman had done something wrong, he could punish her. But if other people dared to hurt her, they deserved far worse!
He wanted to return the torment that the young woman went through to this man with double and triple the amount of pain!
When Long Sijue got up and left, the butler secretly sighed in relief. He was genuinely relieved that he did not completely obey Xiao Mingyan, or else he would definitely end up like the kitchen manager.

After Su Qianxun drank the brown sugar syrup that Huan Huan brought her, she held the hot-water bag against her lower abdomen and went to sleep. It was an exhausting day for her. Besides, she was already in bad shape to begin with. Now, she felt as if she was half-dead.
In a half-conscious daze, she thought that she heard someone speak to her. She thought that it was too loud for her to sleep. She wanted to wake up and see who it was, but she did not manage to open her eyes.
When the voice faltered, she felt as though someone was hugging her from behind. It was blissfully warm and it made her feel like crying. She subconsciously leaned back and inched closer to the source of the warmth.
