Chapter 1527 “My Son Won’t Suffer Any Grievances (4)”
In other words, the bratty kid must slap himself until he’s satisfied, otherwise the matter won’t be put to rest. After all, not even Bai Yan would dare lay a hand on the steambun when he made a blunder, why should some random fool be allowed to do so? It would be on Di Cang’s head if he left this issue go unpunished.
“Mom, Mom, I don’t want to, WAHHH!!!! I don’t want to slap myself! I don’t want to!” The bratty kid sobs continuously, regretting fully on coming today. Of course, the boy still doesn’t believe he’s in the wrong, just that he shouldn’t have done what he did in this manner and went for another solution.
Water Mei Mei was a mother, and as a mother, there’s no way she wouldn’t want to save her own boy. Unfortunately for her though, the second she cast her eyes upward to meet Di Cang’s cold gaze again, her courage crumbled without fault. “Lin Lin, be good, do what your second uncle tells you…. do it now….”
This man is too cruel, it’s just a fight between kids and he’s going this far. What is he going to do if I refuse right now? Will he kill me… He wouldn’t, right?
The order from his own mother only brought even more tears to the bratty kid, making him cry louder and louder.
Gritting those teeth to steel her heart at the disobedience: “Lin Lin, if you don’t listen then I will leave you in the beggar’s den. Then you will be a beggar’s child!”
In this instant, this very second, the bratty kid actually stopped crying, only looking up in disbelief over the very mother that’s always been doting and loving to himself. Despite his own grievances, this child also knows his mother would always keep to her words when said.
“I… I’ll hit…” Flushing red in the eye, the boy kneels down to the ground and slaps himself in the face.
Against this sight, Water Mei Mei definitely felt the stinging pain as well. She’s bleeding inside over what she’s ordered. Sadly, as much as she would like to put a stop to this, that threatening gaze from Di Cang left her too helpless and weak.
“Since you and your husband don’t know how to educate your child then I will. He will learn today on what can be said and what can’t be said.”
In Di Cang’s view, his behavior right now wasn’t cruel in the slightest. In fact, he’s thinking he’s already being quite merciful in lecturing someone else’s child. After all, he’s the great demon king, such transgressions would’ve long warranted the death penalty in the other world, let alone a few slaps.
“Seco-Second…” Originally Water Mei Mei wanted to plea again after that comment, but the death glare in the next left her too fearful for words.
It’s a known fact that the man across from herself didn’t like others addressing him as family, only as Lord in the formal title. Apparently she didn’t quite remember that tidbit until this instant and kept crossing the line with Di Cang.
“He’s only a child, you wanted to say that didn’t you?” Di Cang then continues to speak in a manner like someone that’s able to read minds, “But he did, that means others were uttering such things around him. As his mother, you are just as guilty. You think I will let this pass so easily after you gossiped behind my back about my wife and child?”
This time Water Mei Mei could no longer keep her wits together. Plotting to the ground into a prostrating posture, “Lo-Lord, please spare me, no matter what I still bared a child for the Water Clan….”
“Say what you will, but there are prices to be paid for your loose tongue.” Still expressionless and cold as ever, Di Cang’s attitude never waivers when dishing out punishment: “Someone come, drag this woman and Water Longyun out of the estate. I’m declaring they are no longer part of the Water Clan as of this instant.”
Gawking her eyes out in horror and disbelief, Water Mei Mei almost fainted in that second. She thought at the very most he would beat her or something along those lines, not directly banish them from the family. Her husband’s the younger brother of this man!
“Why, Lord, why are you so cruel?” She asks with that shaky voice.
“Because my wife is coming back so I need to eliminate all the disharmonious voices of the Water Clan. These slurs and gossips will pollute her ear.”
Boom!
The woman’s brain exploded into nothingness, not being able to comprehend the gravity of that statement.
He said his wife is coming back, that’s why he’s banishing me and my husband? It’s so our words won’t contaminate her ear? How can he go to such extent for a woman?
