Chapter 132 If you can't kill him, beat him to death.
Although Chen An didn't dare to speak his mind aloud, Duke Cheng'en was still furious at his nonchalant expression and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Beat him up!"
Soon, Chen An's fat body was pressed on the bench and spanked, and he screamed in pain.
The Chen family's family rules are not like the rattan used by the Xie family, but bamboo boards.
His status in the Chen family was not as high as Xie Xin's, so the servants beat him severely. Anyway, as long as they could control themselves from beating him to death, they dared to beat Chen An to death.
Chen An is a lustful man, but he is controlled by his family and dares not do anything wrong outside.
He then targeted the maids and servants in the mansion, and no one knew how many people he had harmed over the years.
But he was very smart and knew who he could touch and who he absolutely could not touch.
Therefore, the maids and servants who had been bullied by him could only swallow their anger and endure it silently.
Many male servants had their wives harmed by him, and they did not dare to settle the score with him, so they dealt with their own women instead.
Especially when Chen An loses interest in these women, their fate is often miserable.
Because for their husbands, it is a shame that can never be washed away in their lifetime.
So whenever they think of this, they will punch their women and beat them all over.
Xu Maochun's biological mother could not bear the repeated beatings and torture from her husband and eventually jumped into the well.
Since then, Xu Maochun has been subjected to more beatings and insults.
His adoptive father vented almost all of his humiliation and dissatisfaction on him.
However, Xu Maochun was also cruel. When he was ten years old, he put drugs in his adoptive father's wine. Then, when he lost his strength, he cut his tendons in his hands and feet, cut off his tongue, used him as a sandbag, and began to take revenge day by day.
Many people in the Chen family knew about these things, but they didn't dare to tell anyone.
The servants hated Chen An, the culprit, even more. Now that they had the opportunity to beat him with a stick, they naturally would not show mercy.
But Chen An is so delicate and tender, how can he endure such suffering?
He screamed in pain, but his mouth was quickly covered by someone. He could only break out in cold sweat and twitch constantly.
The servants had only hit him with thirty boards when he fainted from the pain.
The two men holding the boards were suddenly frightened and hurried to see how Cheng Engong reacted.
But he had a cold face, showing no worry for his son Chen An. He said, "Splash salt water on him to wake him up, and continue beating him!"
So, a bucket of salt water was poured on Chen An's wound, which soon woke him up from the pain.
He was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face. He wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was stuffed tightly and he couldn't say anything.
After being beaten with another twenty boards, Chen An fainted from the pain again.
The servants hurriedly looked at Lord Cheng'en again.
Lord Cheng En still had that stern expression on his face: "Continue."
However, just as the servant woke Chen An up and raised the board to hit him, he heard someone shouting -
"and many more!"
The two men shuddered and stopped immediately.
They all recognized the voice of the person who came. He was the prince of Duke Cheng'en's mansion and also the most outstanding legitimate son of Duke Cheng'en!
The two men quickly put down the boards in their hands. Chen An, who had just been awakened by someone splashing salt water, raised his head excitedly, tears welling in his eyes, and looked at this outstanding brother with a hope for help.
Chen Shou didn't look at him, but walked straight to Duke Cheng'en and advised, "Brother has learned his lesson. Father, please forgive him this time. If you continue to beat him, he will be seriously injured."
Chen An nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes! My brother is right, Dad, please forgive me!"
Duke Cheng En looked at his useless son with disdain and waved his hand, "Drag him out! Let him reflect on his mistakes in his own yard. No one is allowed to let him out without my permission! I don't want to see him again!"
This means to lock Chen An in the yard.
Chen An's face changed drastically. He wanted to beg for mercy, but something was stuffed in his mouth and he couldn't say anything.
I could only watch helplessly as I was dragged out.
After everyone left, Chen Shou and Cheng Engong went straight into the study.
Chen Shou said, "Father, this rumor is really strange. Many of the details match up. I'm afraid someone knew about what happened back then and deliberately framed you, which is why these rumors have spread."
He was only in his early thirties, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, fair complexion, and a slender figure. When he spoke, his voice was clear and very pleasant.
When he looks at people, he seems particularly focused and sincere, with a subtle smile always on the corner of his mouth, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
Duke Cheng'en was always very satisfied with his son. When he saw him, he felt as if he had seen those famous ancient gentlemen in the books.
He asked, "It's been many years since that incident. Who do you think leaked Xu Maochun's background? Could it be him?"
Chen Shou shook his head. "It shouldn't be him. He has always considered his origins a disgrace. He would rather die than reveal a single word about it."
"Since it's not him, then there must be a traitor in the mansion." Lord Cheng'en sneered, "It seems that someone in this mansion is breaking the rules again."
Chen Shou said solemnly: "The traitor in the mansion does need to be found as soon as possible, but Xu Maochun must also be made to obey.
"My fourth sister told him to kill Xie Xiu, and that must not be revealed. Xie Yun has a good chance of being promoted to Prime Minister this time, and Xu Maochun cannot ruin everything."
Lord Cheng En sighed and said, "That's what I meant. Arrange someone to pass the message to him. He's a smart man and knows what to do."
Chen Shou quickly responded: "Yes."
……
Inside the Ministry of Justice prison, Xu Maochun lay on the hay with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the gate.
He glanced at him coldly and found that it was the jailer, so he just silently memorized his face, then looked away and ignored him.
Then the jailer asked, "It's being rumored outside that your biological father isn't the groom at Duke Cheng'en's mansion, but Duke Cheng'en. He forced your mother to get pregnant, but he's not sure you're his child, so he refuses to acknowledge you. Is that true..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Maochun suddenly pounced on him like a wild beast, strangled his neck with the chain in his hand, and pinned him to the fence.
Xu Maochun gnashed his teeth and asked in his ear, "You just said it's spreading outside?"
The jailer was already pale with fear. He struggled frantically, trying to tear off the chain around his neck, but he couldn't move it at all.
Only when Xu Maochun loosened the chain slightly did he speak: "You, you, you...you'd better let me go, otherwise..."
Just as he said this, he was strangled by Xu Maochun again. When he could no longer breathe, Xu Maochun loosened the chain slightly and said, "Tell me, how many people are spreading the news outside?"
The jailer took several deep breaths before saying in horror, "Everyone is saying... you you you... please spare me, I... I I... I can tell you what's going on outside..."
Xu Maochun did not let go.
His face was extremely gloomy, and the words that Cheng Engong had said to him back then seemed to echo in his ears again...
