Chapter 1158: Brother-in-law Kneels on the Washboard
At the same time, Shao Yun stood at the gate of the ranch, watching Mavica's wheelbarrow disappear completely into the night.
He was about to turn around and go back to the house, but he was stunned the moment he looked up.
Ying, who was wearing a flesh-colored dress and nightgown, had been standing at the door of the house without her knowing when, looking at him calmly.
Obviously, she heard Mavica's confession and roar at the door just now.
Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression, raised his hand and waved at Ying, trying to keep his tone relaxed, and greeted her as usual:
"Hey, honey. It's a little cold outside, let's go back to the house..."
Ying did not respond to his greeting immediately, but just looked Shao Yun up and down.
"What's going on? I don't believe you'd have an affair behind my back..."
She paused, then changed the subject and mentioned Mavica.
"But, I remember Mavica promised me a few days ago that she would keep her distance from you and not cause us any trouble. Why did she..."
Ying paused at this point. She couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective to describe Mavica's condition just now, so she could only say it helplessly.
"Why are you so 'crazy' today? Confessions and all that... weird stuff. I'm a little confused."
Shao Yun listened to Ying's question and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
After all, this matter involves Capitano's fake death plan, and the cause and effect are complicated, and it cannot be explained in a few words.
He scratched his hair, considered his words, and said, "Well... How should I put it, the situation is a bit complicated, involving some things I haven't told you before."
"When your brother Kong comes back, I'll explain it to you in detail so you don't think I'm talking nonsense."
When Ying heard the words "my brother", her eyes widened instantly.
"My brother? Why is my brother involved in this matter?"
Shao Yun looked at Ying's questioning eyes, scratched the back of his head quickly, looked a little embarrassed, and decisively changed the subject.
"Well... How about you let me eat first? I just had such a long fight with Mavica, and now I'm starving."
Ying rolled her eyes helplessly. What should she do if her husband is hungry? Now that things have come to this, let's eat first.
"No problem, eat first. While you and Mavicka were in the basement, I heated up the food in the pyrotechnic oven in advance, fearing it would get cold. It should still be warm now."
When Shao Yun heard that Ying had already heated up dinner for him, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Thanks, wife! You still love me the most."
However, just when Shao Yun was happily going to eat, Ying's expression became a little subtle.
Kind of like...nervous?
……
Afterwards, the story of what Mavica and Shao Yun did in the basement came to a temporary end.
I don’t know how long it was, probably around 11 o’clock in the evening, Kong came back with Yuan Shang.
Originally, they both thought that everyone in the family would be asleep at this time.
As a result, as soon as I entered the living room, the lights in the living room came on.
……
What happened next was as expected. Ying asked Shao Yun, Kong and Yuan Shang what had happened today.
Because Shao Yun had already explained it to Mavica and didn't want to waste any more words, the task of explaining was given to Kong.
When Kong finally finished explaining the whole story, the living room fell into a brief silence, like the calm before a storm.
Ying slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her face was expressionless. She simply said, "So that's how it is."
Kong and Yuan Shang both thought Ying would understand their "hard work". Just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the veins on Ying's forehead suddenly bulge, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she growled at Kong:
“Stinky brother!!!”
Kong was frightened by Ying's roar and stepped back repeatedly, almost bumping into Yuan behind him.
He looked at the powerful aura emanating from Ying's body and felt puzzled.
Did my sister secretly awaken some Super Saiyan physique?
How come this aura, this fighting power... No, sister, are you going to do something unfair?
"W-what's wrong?" Kong waved his hands in panic, signaling his Super Saiyan sister to calm down.
Ying slowly shook her neck, and the "cracking" sound of her joints was particularly clear in the silent living room. Then she moved her wrist, and the same crisp sound was heard. Every movement was filled with a strong sense of oppression.
The next second, she roared at the sky in a low but explosive voice, "I'm very angry now! My husband is meant to be loved, not to be your slave!"
"Such a dangerous plan, you said to pull him in, but did you ask for my opinion?!"
Seeing Ying's expression as if she was going to eat him alive and tear him apart, Kong was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and explained in a panic:
"Sister, don't be angry! I really didn't mean to order Shao Yun around. This is a special situation! And we did this for the sake of our future so that we can live a stable life in Nata!"
"Can you ignore our feelings for the sake of the future?"
Ying obviously didn't buy his trick. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly picked up the blue and white porcelain vase on the coffee table.
That was the souvenir I bought when I first came to Liyue. It was quite heavy.
She held the vase in both hands, as if to throw it towards Kong, her eyes full of a fierce look that said, "I must teach you a lesson today."
Kong was so frightened that his face turned pale. He stepped back repeatedly, shouting, "No, no, no! Sister, please have mercy! It would be a shame to break the vase! Let's talk it over nicely, please!"
Just when the vase was about to slip out of her hand, Ying suddenly stopped.
She looked at the vase in her hand. This vase did cost a lot of Mora.
It would be such a pity to smash it, and what if it didn’t hit my stinky brother, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?
Thinking of this, Ying slowly put down the vase and gently placed it on the coffee table, even adjusting the angle to prevent the vase from falling over.
But her anger did not diminish at all. She just flipped her hand and the "Narcissus Cross Holy Sword" was unsheathed in an instant.
She held the hilt of the sword, the tip pointing straight into the air, her eyes fierce.
"It's a shame to have a vase, but this sword shouldn't be a shame, right? Today, I'll let you experience the feeling of 'a chill in the heart, yet a thrill in the heart,' and see if you dare to order my husband around like that again!"
Kong looked at the sword that was flashing with cold light, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down on the spot.
"Sister! My dear sister! We can talk it over. Swords have no eyes! I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again!"
Seeing this, Yuan Shang quickly stood in front of Kong.
"Your Highness, please think twice. This is your blood relative, your Highness's uncle!!!"
Shao Yun also hurried forward and tried to hold Ying back.
"Wife, don't be impulsive! He is your brother after all!"
Ying's hand holding the sword paused, and she felt doubtful.
Yes, if this really hurts my brother, I will definitely regret it.
But I couldn't bear to let him go like this.
She frowned and thought for a few seconds, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She put away her sword, turned around and ran towards the bathroom for guests.
Kong and Shao Yun looked at each other, not knowing what she was going to do.
Not long after, I heard the sound of rummaging through drawers in the bathroom.
Then, Ying found the washboard, one of the three household items: feather duster, slippers, and washboard.
She bought it from Xuanmu Ren a few days ago, and she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Ying walked up to Kong and threw the washboard heavily to the ground with a "bang". The washboard made a dull sound when it hit the ground, which made Kong shiver.
She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "This is the washboard I just bought and I haven't used it yet!"
"Brother, kneel down right there! Kneel down all night and reflect on what you did today!"
Sora stared at the brand new washboard on the ground. The raised edges on the board looked like the sharp teeth of a man-eating demon.
When he thought about kneeling on it for a whole night, his heart instantly sank. This meant he would have to cosplay as Sun Bin the next day.
If I kneel all night, my knees will be broken tomorrow. I won't be able to walk, and I won't even be able to stand up. I'll have to rely on a wheelchair for a few days. This is too terrible!
"Hey, sister! Don't be ridiculous! This is not a joke!"
Sora quickly stepped back from the washboard, waving his hands repeatedly, begging:
"Isn't it enough that I know I was wrong? I promise to discuss things with you first in the future and never dare to drag Shao Yun into any dangerous plans again. Please forgive me this time!"
Ying looked at him begging for mercy with a submissive look on her face, and she felt no mercy at all.
She slowly spread out her five fingers, raised her arms high, with her palms suspended in the air, staring at the sky with a frown.
"Are you going to kneel or not? If you don't kneel before this washboard today, I'll spank you all night long to teach you what 'learning from this' means!"
Kong was frightened by her cruelty and shrank his neck. He knew that Ying always kept her word, and it would be embarrassing if she really hit him.
His eyes rolled, and he immediately looked at Shao Yun beside him for help, as if he had grabbed the last straw, and his voice was filled with tears:
"My dear brother-in-law, help me!!! Please help me persuade your wife. If my knees break, who will drink with you in the future?"
In order to impress Shao Yun, he even emphasized his tone and said aggrievedly:
"Brother-in-law, can you bear to watch me kneel on the washboard while you comfortably sleep with my sister in your arms? We are 'allies'!"
Kong originally thought that Shao Yun would at least say something good for him, but as soon as he finished speaking, Ying suddenly stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Shao Yun's neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek. The crisp sound of the kiss was particularly loud in the living room at night.
She turned her head and glared at Sora, looking like a crazy protector of her husband, and said coquettishly:
"Brother, you're such a bad brother! You schemed against my husband and made him take risks with you. If I don't punish you, who should I punish? If you dare to say anything more, I'll make you kneel for two days and two nights!"
Shao Yun's cheeks felt hot from the sudden kiss. Just as he was about to say something, Ying stopped him with a look.
Obviously, Ying would not allow him to "turn his elbow outward" in this matter.
Kong watched this scene and almost jumped up in anger.
"Hey! You don't recognize your brother anymore after you got married! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have helped you pursue Shao Yun. I am your biological brother!"
This completely ignited Ying's rage. She instantly transformed into a "Sichuan-Yu Tyrannosaurus," straightened her back, and sternly ordered at Kong: "I'll be the Shu Dao Mountain!"
"Are you going to kneel or not? If you say another word, I'll smash the washboard into pieces and make you kneel down like stubble!"
Kong was instantly shocked by Ying's powerful aura. This was Ying's "ultimate warning" when she was really angry.
He no longer dared to hesitate, and nodded repeatedly to Ying, moving towards the washboard while compromising with a bitter face.
"I kneel, I kneel...Isn't it okay for me to kneel?"
As he spoke, he carefully placed his knees on the edge of the washboard. As soon as they touched, he grimaced in pain and gasped.
“Hiss—!”
In just a moment, the pain spread from the knee to the whole body, and all the facial features were twisted together.
This washboard really lives up to its reputation, it is truly a “knee killer”!
"Hiss... My knees hurt! Sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Kong grimaced in pain, gasping for air and begging for mercy again with tears in his eyes.
"I promise I'll never make decisions on my own again. Please forgive me, even if it means kneeling for half an hour!"
But Ying showed no mercy at this moment. She didn't even look at Kong, but just held Shao Yun's hand tightly, and her tone was as relaxed as if she was discussing what to eat tonight.
"Hubby, let's go to bed. Don't stay here and listen to my brother's howling. It will disturb our rest."
As she spoke, she pulled Shao Yun towards the bedroom. When they reached the door of the living room, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Yuan Shang who was still "holding back his laughter" and said:
"Yuan Shang, you have to work hard tonight and keep an eye on my brother."
"He must kneel on the washboard all night tonight, not a minute less. If I find out you dare to fool me, or secretly let him up..."
Having said that, Ying paused deliberately, a wicked smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
"Then you will kneel down with me tomorrow, and don't cry out for injustice then."
When Yuan Shang heard this, he trembled with fear.
He looked at Ying, then turned to look at Kong, who was grimacing in pain, and made a decision in an instant.
He dropped to his knees in front of Sora with a thump. In the most solemn and humble posture of Inazuma, he prostrated himself before Sora and pleaded:
"Your Highness! Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve at the same time. Please obey the wishes of Your Highness the Princess! I am also helpless, so please understand and forgive me!"
The tone and the posture were full of helplessness and humility, and he looked like someone was saying, "There's nothing I can do about it, just accept it."
Kong was so angry at Yuan Shang's "selling out for fame" look that he almost couldn't breathe.
He originally thought that Yuan Shang would at least be able to say a good word for him, or secretly let him get up and take a breath, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually "turn sides" in order to protect himself.
Sora was completely despairing. He raised his head, staring at the chandelier on the living room ceiling, and wailed in pain:
"Oh, heaven, oh, earth, who will save my poor brother? He married a husband and forgot about me. Even his subordinates won't help me. I'm so miserable!"
His wails echoed in the silent living room, but received no response.
Shao Yun and Ying had already walked into the bedroom and closed the door;
Yuan Shang still maintained his "sit-down" posture, lowered his head and dared not say a word...
……
However, after only ten minutes, Yuanshang felt that the time was almost up and immediately changed his expression to a flattering one.
"Your Highness! I think it's almost time. Let me help you up!"
……
What is loyalty! This is loyalty! Enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens is...
