"Xinglong! Stop! Mother!!" Mo Jiangqing shouted in fury, stumbling as he landed in his haste, and rushed toward Chu Qingmeng.
By this time, Chu Qingmeng had already taken over a dozen lashes. All the color had drained from her face, and everyone could only weep anxiously and pace in circles, none daring to step in to stop it. Mo Jiangqing glanced at Mo Jiangche, who was struggling desperately to break free, and slid directly to his knees, throwing his arms around the swaying Chu Qingmeng. But Chu Qingmeng merely gritted her teeth and pushed him away, speaking feebly, "Wǔ Qīng, pull him back, or you will be punished as well."
The four brothers of the Hui Clan all knew that Ninth Lord was playing for keeps and meant to teach the two of them a hard lesson today, so they had no choice but to pull Mo Jiangqing away. Prompted by Chu Qingmeng's questioning, Xinglong resumed the punishment. After twenty lashes, Chu Qingmeng no longer had the strength to keep her back straight and knelt on the ground, ordering him to continue the execution.
