On the one hand, Tan Zhao came to the Shi family because he was angered by Shi Bin’s provocation. On the other hand, he was indeed curious as to why Yuan Shu invited him. Madam Shi wasn’t as ill-mannered as the rumors said. On the contrary, she seemed to care a lot about rules and discipline. Did she invite him to the Shi family to avenge Shi Bin or apologize to him?

Seeing Tan Zhao striding upstairs, Shi Bin turned around and followed him.

He couldn’t let Yuan Shu act recklessly! If she really bowed and apologized to Tan Zhao, wouldn’t that embarrass him?

Seeing that the two of them had gone upstairs, Yuan Shu followed them, leaving behind the stunned Li Yue and Chu Mei.

Was this still the Fourth Young Master who usually went against Madam? Why was he so obedient today? What method did Madam use to make Fourth Young Master so obedient? And why was Third Young Master Tan so obedient as well? Li Yue couldn’t figure it out.

Tan Zhao walked in the front. When he reached the second floor, he sized up the decorations and commented, “The color of your wallpaper is too old-fashioned. The carpet patterns are not sophisticated enough. The wall lights are not bad, but the vase is not in line with the aesthetics of the times…”

The second floor was mostly used as a guest room to entertain guests and there was a small conference room at the end of the corridor. The door was open, so Tan Zhao swaggered in and sat on a chair. “Madam, aren’t you going to give me a cup of tea?”

Shi Bin, who was following behind, kicked the stool Tan Zhao was sitting on. When Tan Zhao jumped up and wanted to fight with him again, Yuan Shu suddenly whipped the palce beside Tan Zhao’s leg with a belt. The wind brought about gently brushed past Tan Zhao’s ankle, raising goosebumps all over his body.

“It seems that Young Master Tan’s family hasn’t taught you well. As a descendant of a prominent family, how should you behave? Today, I’ll reluctantly teach you what manners and rules are on behalf of your family!”

Tan Zhao looked at Yuan Shu with a pale face. He didn’t expect this woman to really stand up for Shi Bin.

Yuan Shu waved his hand and whipped Tan Zhao’s thigh again.

Tan Zhao was caught off guard and jumped up in pain.

This whip was extremely heavy. For a moment, Tan Zhao thought that his leg was broken. He hurriedly dodged to the side. As he dodged, he cursed angrily, “Are you crazy? How dare you hit me?!”

Yuan Shu was born into a family of generals. When she was young, she watched her brothers and father practice martial arts. She didn’t like to learn embroidery from the women in her family, so when she was five years old, she begged her father to teach her martial arts too. The veteran general felt that it was ungraceful for a lady to learn how to fight, so he only taught her how to ride, shoot, and whip.

When Yuan Shu was 16 years old, because her horsemanship was extremely outstanding and she was good at whipping, she was called “The Lady on Horseback” by those people in the military camp. When she lashed out, the sound of the whip piercing through the air was like thunder and carried immense force. Not to mention hitting a person, just the wind the whip brought with it could make the other party feel her strength and might.

She had only used 60% of her strength when she whipped Tan Zhao just now, and she had not practiced martial arts for a long time. If the 16-year-old Yuan Shu were to beat Young Master Tan, his skin and flesh probably would have been torn apart.

Shi Bin was also stunned. He had never thought that his sister-in-law would be so ruthless when she hit people. He hurriedly took two steps back, since he was afraid that he would suffer as well.

On the other side, as Tan Zhao dodged, Yuan Shu whipped him hard on the butt.

After Tan Zhao suffered two whips, tears welled up in his eyes.

He was the youngest in the family and had been pampered since he was young. Furthermore, since he had a few capable brothers above him, he didn’t need to worry about the family business at all, so his family didn’t discipline him much. In addition, he had a younger uncle who had been in the army before and he had learned a lot of combat techniques from his uncle. This led to him being a “little tyrant” in his social circle. Few people could defeat him.

This was the first time Young Master Tan had been beaten up in his entire life.

As Tan Zhao dodged, he thought that this might be the reason why Yuan Shu wanted to bring them out of the police station. After all, if she beat him at the police station, there would be people stopping her, but if Yuan Shu brought them to the Shi family’s home, there would be no one to stop her.

Unlike Tan Zhao, who was escaping in a miserable state, the more Yuan Shu beat Tan Zhao, the handier the whip felt. She became more and more proficient in whipping Tan Zhao. Every whip landed on Tan Zhao’s legs, back, and buttocks accurately.

Shi Bin stood at the door as he watched Tan Zhao, who was being beaten up. He said with schadenfreude, “Tan Zhao, why don’t you apologize to my sister-in-law? Even I feel the pain when I see you being beaten.”
