OOC!

Chapter 16

When the Jiang's had returned to Lotus Pier, Madam Yu was still stubbornly standing even when her back was bleeding continuesly.

"San-niang you should go see the healers! You might die from blood loss!" Jiang Fengmian tried to persuade his wife into going to the infirmary but his wife is as stubborn as a rock!

"Are you undermining me now Fengmian!? You think I will die that easily!? If it wasn't for that brat then I wouldn't get whipped and lose face in front of everyone! Our son would not lose face in such a young age!" She screamed at his face.

Jiang Yanli was too worried for her mother that she decided to call the nearest physician.

"San-niang the floor is getting filled with blood! You need to clean your bandages!"

"AND!? DO YOU THINK WE WOULD BE HERE IF YOU DIDN'T BRING IN THAT STREET RAT!? DO YOU THINK WE WOULD HAVE YUNMENG LOSE FA-" Madam Yu fainted when a needle was thrown onto her forehead.

"Too noisy, get her to the infirmary and call some servants to clean up the blood! It looks like someone died in here!" A voice called out and students in medical training did as told Jiang Fengmian turned as he saw his wife getting carried towards the infirmary.

"Jiang Fen-" he paused when he saw the woman held her hand up as she talked to the remaining one medical student "Clean up the wound, stop the bleeding, prepare the salve and I'll check if it has been mixed correctly."

The medical disciple bowed and left to the infirmary.

"Jiang Fengmian, mind telling me why her back was bleeding?"

She asked with a raised brow and Jiang Fenqmian and Jiang Yanli explained.

"...and so she was going to be punished with 40 whips but instead got 16, we tried to lower it more as it was too much but A-Xian said I was lenient." Jiang Yanli said.

Jiang Fen scoffed "Forgive me cousin and niece but too much? How naive are you? Have you seen Wuxian's back? I would agree with him that it was too lenient, much less than she deserves! Wuxian got more than she has and he's still standing while she's on the bed pathetically holding to life." she snapped.

"Jiang Fen-"

"Fengmian, I DID try to warn you, THE ELDERS, tried to warn you, they gave you a choice to control your wife, or divorce her."
Jiang Yanli's eyes widened at that 'Divorce!?'

"And what? You chose none of that! And look where it got you! Now that you've partly learned your lesson, you should choose wisely." she said blankly.

"I'm surprised you both were let free without a single whip." she said which surprised the father and daughter.

"W-what do you mean?" Jiang Yanli asked.

"Well if I were the one whipped and people are just telling me to deal with it and they DON'T MEAN IT." she looked at Jiang Yanli as the second part was addressed to her "Then I would atleast let them have a whip or two to understand the pain and that it cannot just be 'DeAIT wITh'." she mocked.

"Now what happened to Wuxian?" Jiang Fen asked.

"'He...he left." Jiang Fengmian had said looking at the floor.

"Hmph, about time! After my shift today, I too will leave the clan."

This made Jiang Fengmian panic "You can't leave! You just became the head healer 2 months ago! You're the one with the most knowledge currently!" He begged her.

"You should have thought about that before you decided to ignore my warnings." she said disgusted "Now If you two don't mind, I have to check your so called Madam of the sect." she walked towards the direction of the infirmary before she turned to face the father and daughter.
