Chapter 279 The same spirit connects branches
"Why cry!"
Mu Yunyun pulled the cub over, made him stand properly, and looked serious.
"Tell me, were you the one who led the isolation of Zhuan'er?"
With red eyes, Shao Yan looked to his father for help.
"Why are you looking at me? Your mother is asking you a question."
Shaoyi's complexion was also not good.
When someone comes to his doorstep and it's his own cub who started it, it's no wonder he looks so upset.
Ji'er couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward.
"Mother...my brother didn't do it on purpose."
"Then how is that intentional? He led the isolation of his brother and then physically assaulted him. How is he being wronged in any of these things?"
The little guy cried pitifully, "He won't play with us. We used to want to play with him, but he would pretend not to hear us and say that he wasn't his mother's child and told us to get lost and that he didn't want to see us. We were so angry that we stopped paying attention to him."
Mu Yunyun never expected it to be like this.
She looked at Qi Zhuan: "Zhuan'er, is it true?"
Qi Zhuan nestled in his father's arms, pretending not to hear.
Mu Yunyun's face hardened: "Qizhuan!"
“I told you so, you wicked woman, you’re not my mother, and I don’t have a younger brother, I only have an older sister.”
"Zhuan'er, how dare you speak to your mother like that!" Qi Yue scolded.
The little guy immediately started crying.
He wouldn't listen!
He wouldn't listen!
He didn't want to hear anything!
“I don’t have a mother, she’s not my mother, my mother would never abandon me, I hate her, she has no right to control me.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunyun's expression changed.
She knew that Qi Si and Qi Zhuan disliked her, and even hated her.
But she never considered abandoning them.
Knowing that Qi Yue had given birth to the cubs all by herself, she was heartbroken and could not possibly abandon them.
These words were like knives scraping against Mu Yunyun's heart, making her breathless and causing her chest to ache unbearably.
Seeing that her complexion was not right, Shaoyi quickly tried to soothe her.
"The little guy is just being silly, don't take it to heart."
Mu Yunyun felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her hands were trembling.
Ji'er panicked: "Mother, don't be angry. It's all my fault for not teaching my brother well."
Shao Yan quickly came over: "Mother, I was wrong. I will be obedient from now on and will never bully Qi Zhuan again."
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Mu Yunyun recovered and regretted that she knew nothing. If she had known earlier, the cub wouldn't have hated her so much.
She took a deep breath and pulled Qizhuan over.
Qi Zhuan wouldn't let her touch him.
"Bad female, bad female, let me go."
Mu Yunyun wouldn't let go and forcibly straightened him.
"Whether you admit it or not, I am your mother. This is your maternal clan, and your blood relatives are here. This is an indisputable fact."
“Your mother never gave birth to you, nor did she raise you. This is your mother’s fault. Before you acknowledge me as your mother, I really have no right to take care of you.”
“I heard from your father that your elder brother had already punished you, and you were dissatisfied, which is why you came to me. However, I have always respected your elder brother. Since he has already punished you, there is absolutely no reason for me to intervene.”
She then looked at Ji'er.
"As the elder brother, you are to blame for allowing your younger brothers to form cliques. Your mother is punishing you. Do you accept it?"
Ji'er knelt down: "Mother, I admit it."
Shao Yan grew anxious.
"Mother, this has nothing to do with my brother, it's my fault. If you want to punish someone, punish me!"
“If you have made a mistake, your brother will naturally punish you.”
She called the slaves in.
"He'll be punished with ten strokes of the cane in the yard." She looked at Shao Yan: "Your brother was punished because of you. Will you still bully others in the future?"
"I won't bully him anymore. I will never bully Qizhuan again. Mother, please don't hit him. Please don't hit my brother."
The little guy burst into tears.
His elder brother was the best to him; it was his fault. Why should his elder brother be punished?
"Xiao Yan!" Ji'er scolded.
The little one was sobbing so hard he didn't even dare to cry anymore, he just kept wiping away his tears.
At this time.
The slave actually brought over the bamboo cannon.
Qi Zhuan saw this, rushed forward, snatched it, and threw the bamboo board on the ground.
"This has nothing to do with my brother, why are you punishing him? Don't you have any sense of reason?!"
"Fine, I was being unreasonable. When two people fight, each has their own reasons. If it were up to me, I would punish them both. But since you don't want me to interfere, I can only punish your older brother, since he failed to keep a close eye on you."
"you!"
Qi Zhuan gritted his teeth, furious.
"If we're going to get beaten up, then we'll all get beaten up together, okay?"
If he's having a hard time, he shouldn't let Shao Yan have an easy time either!
Mu Yunyun picked up the bamboo stick and handed it to Ji'er: "Your younger brothers know they were wrong, so you should teach them a lesson."
Ji'er didn't answer: "Mother said that if my younger brother is wrong, I, as the older brother, cannot shirk my responsibility. There is no reason for me to be the only one to escape punishment if my younger brother is not punished. If Mother wants to punish someone, then punish me as well."
"it is good."
Mu Yunyun nodded approvingly.
"This punishment is also to teach you that brothers, whether at home or away, are of one mind and share weal and woe. If you cause trouble in front of me again in the future, I will punish you all regardless of who is right or wrong. Do you understand?"
"I understand, mother."
"Mother, I will be good."
"Humph!"
Mu Yunyun handed the bamboo clapper to the slave.
"Ten strokes each, give them a good beating, and let those little ones see this and learn their lesson."
The slave accepted it obediently.
"Yes, Chieftain."
Outside.
The sound of the paddle hitting the floor rang out, and the little guy's cries grew louder with each tirade.
Shaoyi couldn't bear to watch; her heart ached terribly.
Needless to say, Qi Yue is the one who loves the cubs the most.
But what she said makes sense. It's not good to punish anyone. If you're going to punish someone, you should punish them all. Between brothers, the worst thing is to have grudges. There's no reason for anyone to stay out of trouble.
When your father makes a decision, harden your heart and pretend you didn't hear it.
The beating was finished quickly.
When Shao Yan returned, he immediately threw himself into his father's arms, wanting his father to comfort him and to show him tenderness, because his hand hurt.
Qi Zhuan was tough and didn't utter a sound, but his eyes reddened when he saw his father.
Ji'er walked over. As the older brother, he had no reason to shed tears in front of his younger brother.
Mu Yunyun hugged him and asked, "Does your hand hurt?"
Hearing tears welling up in his mother's arms, Ji'er's eyes reddened. He held back his tears, not wanting his younger brothers to laugh at him.
Mu Yunyun carried him out: "Come on, Mother will take you to find your father."
Once outside, Ji'er buried his head in her arms.
"Mom, please don't be angry. I will definitely take good care of my younger brothers and sisters from now on."
Mu Yunyun hugged him and coaxed him, "Your mother would never have the heart to hit Ji'er. It's just an act for your younger brothers to see."
"I know."
He knew that his mother loved him the most.
Mother must have been reluctant to part with him at the time, but Qizhuan wouldn't let her take care of him, which is why she said that.
Mu Yunyun carried Ji'er away.
Inside the house, only the two little ones remained, nestled in their father's arms.
Shao Yan cried for a while and then stopped.
He glanced at Qi Zhuan: "Father, I don't feel any pain at all. Father Ye Yu said that I am the bravest little male. Only the cowardly little males cry."
