2221 Abandoned
“Who do you think you are? Your gifted eldest sister? As a mere level-one spiritual cultivator, what can you do for the clan?
“Go back to your room and stay there. Don’t come out and make a spectacle of yourself!”
“Dad!!” Guan Yibo cried heartrendingly.
“Aiyah, Sixth Young Lady. You really are not sensible.” Madam Hua writhed her slim snake-like waist and pointed at Guan Yibo with her slender finger. “The lord has been troubled during this period of time. As his daughter, even if you don’t help share the clan’s responsibilities, how can you keep annoying the lord with these trivial matters?!”
“Alright, alright. In consideration of your young age, the lord won’t hold it against you. You had better hurry back to your courtyard.”
“Dad, Dad!!” Guan Yibo crawled forward but was once again stopped by the two guards.
“Escort the sixth young lady back.” Guan Zhaotang flicked his sleeve as he left while holding Madam Hua. He said coldly, “Don’t hold back, throw her out.”
“Sixth Young Lady! Please!” After receiving orders, the two guards treated Guan Yibo with even less respect.
The two of them shoved Guan Yibo down the stairs and remarked loftily, “Tsk, how can a sickly, good-for-nothing concubine hope to use the blood-clotting cinnabar fruit? Dream on!”
“Dad!! Dad, please save my mother’s life. Dad!” Guan Yibo’s tears had clouded her sight.
She stared unwaveringly at Guan Zhaotang’s back, and her indignation turned into intense hatred.
“Guan Zhaotang! You’re heartless and ungrateful! If my mom didn’t support you with the entire Jiang Clan, resulting in the Jiang Clan’s demise, would you be enjoying today’s vast riches?
“Guan Zhaotang! You aren’t human!”
Guan Zhaotang stopped and turned around to roar, “Are you people dead? Gag her and take her down. Give her a good beating!”
“Yes, Prefecture Lord!” Several nefarious guards rushed out and dragged Guan Yibo away.
They threw her on the steps and started flogging her with a rod.
Guan Yibo stared hatefully up the steps at her father Guan Zhaotang and started laughing out loud. “Guan Zhaotang, you will get your just deserts! The entire Guan Clan will receive judgment! You cruel and unscrupulous person! You will die a miserable death!”
Someone gagged Guan Yibo with a filthy rag as they flogged her heavily with a rod. Several hits had already turned her black and blue. She was bleeding nonstop.
“Bo’er, Bo’er!!” A skinny maidservant was supporting a feeble woman who couldn’t even walk steadily.
“Bo’er.” When the woman saw the state her daughter was in, she wailed and struggled free of the young maidservant. She lunged over with a miraculous strength and hugged her daughter tightly.
The heartless and barbaric guards did not care and continued to strike down on the mother and daughter duo.
*Mfmph, mfmph!* Guan Yibo flipped her long, bloodied hair as she turned her body to protect her mother. She withstood the repeated strikes from the rod.
“Bo’er, don’t hit my Bo’er!” The woman struggled to protect her daughter, but her cultivation was too low. Guan Yibo continued to protect her beneath her body.
Guan Zhaotang merely looked at the mother and daughter duo coldly. He then left while holding on to Madam Hua’s slender waist.
He turned a deaf ear to their pitiful cries.
In any case, he had many children, including those who were gifted geniuses. A mediocre daughter like Guan Zhaotang was dispensable.
