Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yaxiang was really shocked and her expression changed drastically.
“This child actually…” Lin Yaxiang took a deep breath in. “This is a big mistake. He indeed needs to be punished properly. Don’t worry, First Young Master. Although I love him, I understand what’s right and what’s wrong. Whether you want to scare him, beat him, or kill him, he deserves it.”
If she did not teach him now, he would really die if he really made a bigger mistake in the future!
Lin Yaxiang was very cooperative and even had a serious expression on her face.
After a while, she arrived at Xie Pinghuai’s courtyard.
Looking at the scene, her heart was cold.
This child really did not know what was important!
“You stupid child. It’s fortunate that I love you so much. Why did you seek death? Now, what do you want me to do? Now that you’re dead, how can I face my sister? Sigh, what’s the point of our family staying in the capital? We can’t even control a child. Forget it, forget it! Tomorrow, our family will move away to our old home and never come back!”
After saying that, Lin Yaxiang turned around and left.
Xie Pinghuai was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
Most importantly, he still had injuries on his body.
Now that he heard Aunt Lin’s words, his heart turned cold. He knocked again and shouted with all his might, but no one paid attention to him as before.
He was anxious and afraid.
Naturally, what Lin Yaxiang said was not true. However, in order to make this kid sensible, after she returned home, she made a plan with her father. She gritted her teeth and asked her family to carry the things and temporarily go to the village outside the city where she lived for a period of time.
That night, Xie Pinghuai was still not released.
When it was daytime again, no one cared about him. Xie Pinghuai’s entire body was already drained of strength.
He had not drunk a single drop of water, not a single grain of rice, and he was still in the dark. His heart and body were constantly under tremendous pressure.
On this day, Xie Pinggang led his team and dragged the three people who were arrested yesterday to the market.
Ms. Bao Liu, the family’s midwife, and Bao Lunsheng looked at the execution platform as well as the tall and strong officials standing around them. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Ms. Bao Liu was just an ordinary woman and had not committed any other mistakes. She was sentenced to 140 canes and a year and a half of imprisonment.
Ms. Bao, the midwife, had drowned many babies. She did not even bother to calculate how many babies she killed. She was sentenced to 250 canes and a decade and a half of imprisonment.
Finally, Bao Lunsheng was one of the murderers who drowned the babies. He had also stolen some properties several times. Adding them all together, he was sentenced to 180 canes and 15 years of imprisonment.
The moment his crimes were read out loud, the people beneath were in an uproar.
“If he were hit more than 100 times, will… he still be alive? I’m sure he can’t even take tens of canes, right?!”
“He definitely won’t be able to live. What difference does a few years of imprisonment make?! This is too ruthless!”
“How’s that ruthless? Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs! This Bao Lunsheng even said that his first wife gave birth to a pair of freaks. I didn’t expect him to kill the children directly! He deserved to be beaten to death. Also, this mother is really bad to her daughter-in-law!”

“It’s just that they killed the baby girls. After all, they can’t afford to raise them. There was no other way. It doesn’t have to be like this…”
However, when the last sentence was said, many people turned their heads to stare at the old woman who spoke.
“Aren’t you a woman? Why didn’t your mother kill you when you were born?!”
“Isn’t the life of the girls a life?! If all of them are killed, even if you give birth to ten sons, humans will go extinct in the future! Besides, aren’t girls more considerate? I have a daughter at home, she’s very filial to me!”
“All the officials are sending their daughters to school now. Only you people who don’t know the law and think it’s a waste to feed your daughters! Do you think it’s still the same as the previous dynasty?!”
Immediately, many people pointed at the person who had said the wrong thing and cursed.
Of course, such a warm-hearted person was someone that the criminal division had spent a lot of effort to find.
Naturally, they wanted to create the people’s voice.
After hearing these loud voices, the spectators were too embarra.s.sed to say that Bao Lunsheng and Ms.. Bao Liu were innocent.
