<h4>Chapter 77: Bai Aoxue is dead</h4>


    When Bai Qiwei listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, he was shocked even more, but he didn’t loosen that whip. Instead, he whipped her even harder. He flogged Bai Aoxue repeatedly. Her blood had already been dyed on the whip.


    Bai Qiwei seemed to be totally unaware of this scene. He even became more enthusiastic about it.


    “Bai Aoxue, even if you make me sick, I will not sever the rtionship with you. As long as you are useful, you can’t sever the rtionship with me. You are my daughter as long as I am still alive!” Looking at Bai Aoxue with ruthless eyes, Bai Qiwei roared.


    In the dark, Nn Youhong was shocked. He didn’te back to himself from Bai Aoxue’s words until Bai Qiwei spoke.


    Looking at Bai Aoxue who was whipped so many times by Bai Qiwei but did not fight back, Nn Youhong did not dare to dy. Bai Aoxue was injured now. The situation would only make her worse!


    If this thing was known by Jun Yeyan, all of the people in Prime Minister’s mansion couldn’t survive!


    When Nn Youhong just took a big step, he heard a deep male voice.


    “Bai Qiwei! Stop!”


    Hearing that angry snoring, Bai Feijue and other shadow guards quickly turned to look at the entrance of the small courtyard.


    They saw Ye Zhaojueing with Xingzhi and other soldiers. Seeing that Bai Aoxue was beaten by Bai Qiwei, Ye Zhaojue was scowling. His eyes were already scarlet.


    His forehead was blue-veined, and his face was a little bit ferocious because of anger. Ye Zhaojue’s appearance now let Xingzhi and his group move backwards involuntarily. They had never seen Ye Zhaojue behaving like this.


    In the past, when Ye Zhaojue got angry, they were also scared, but they would not be frightened. Now, the appearance of Ye Zhaojue frightened them more than ever!


    They could feel his momentum and anger when they stood beside him.


    At this time, few people could understand Ye Zhaojue’s feelings. Originally, he worried that Bai Aoxue would be at a disadvantage, so he came here non-stop.


    Although he trusted in luck, he still worried about her involuntarily.


    When he approached the small courtyard step by step, his feelings couldn’t be understood by anyone. Especially when he saw those bodies in front of the small courtyard, Ye Zhaojue’s heart was beating faster than ever.


    Before entering the small courtyard, he prayed in his heart that Bai Aoxue was unscathed, but such a prayer fell apart when he stepped in the small courtyard!


    He saw Bai Aoxue standing in front of Bai Qiwei and being punished by these so-called family disciplines. Bai Aoxue was flogged with a whip repeatedly and ruthlessly.


    Ye Zhaojue’s heart was suddenly rent in the extreme. That his sister died young was the sore point in his life. Now he didn’t take good care of the only child that his sister left. Moreover, she let her suffer so much.


    Thinking about this, Ye Zhaojue’s heart was filled with guilty, love and anger. All kinds of emotions were mixed together then changed into resentment against Bai Qiwei!


    Bai Qiwei did not stop whipping when he saw Ye Zhaojue. Instead, in Ye Zhaojue’s face, he gave Bai Aoxue a whip fiercely.


    “Ye Zhaojue, this is Bai’s family affair. You’d better leave immediately!” Looking at Ye Zhaojue, Bai Qiwei was still angry.


    Looking at Bai Qiwei then looking at Bai Aoxue, Xingzhi and other soldiers were also very angry, but they were more afraid that Ye Zhaojue would lose his mind and do something crazy.


    Everybody knew that Ye Zhaojue loved Bai Aoxue very much. Now Bai Aoxue was abused by Bai Qiwei like this, they didn’t believe that Ye Zhaojue wouldn’t go mad!


    “Bai Qiwei, I will say it thest time. Stop. Take away that whip. Don’t stain Aoxue with that dirty thing in your Bai’s mansion!” Ye Zhaojue clenched his fists and said. His eyes were scarlet.


    Everyone knew how hard Ye Zhaojue was trying to resist from the strong forbearance in his voice.


    After listening to Ye Zhaojue’s words, Bai Qiwei said disdainfully: “Ye Zhaojue, you are just the uncle of this root of evil, but I am her father who gave her life. I don’t see it makes much matter to you that I perform the family disciplines! If you want to make a fool of yourself, you and I can go to see His Majesty after my family disciplines!”


    Ye Zhaojue did not expect that Bai Qiwei would call Bai Aoxue like that. He could not help trembling with rage.


    “Root of evil? Bai Qiwei, you... Do you still have conscience? When Wanqing married you, you cajoled her. Now you call her child, the blood of Ye Family, as the root of evil. Bai Qiwei, I’m gonna kill you today in order to avenge Wanqing and Aoxue for their hardships all these years!” Ye Zhaojue looked at Bai Qiwei and said with grief.


    He never expected that Bai Qiwei, a gentleman who was praised by everyone, even would use such contemptuous words to insult his own daughter!


    When Bai Qiwei heard that Ye Zhaojue was going to kill him, he said coldly: “Women only exist to give birth to the next generation. I indeed ttered your sister, but I didn’t think that your simple and fool-like sister actually believed me and then fell in love with me unswervingly. Hahaha...”


    Bai Qiwei ridiculed, but he did not know that many people started to hate him from the bottom of their hearts because of his heartless and ungrateful words.


    When Ye Zhaojue heard Bai Qiwei’s cruel and ruthless words, he finally couldn’t resist his anger anymore. He roared: “Bai Qiwei! Today you must pay a heavy price for insulting Wanqing and Aoxue!”


    When his words fell, he rushed towards Bai Qiwei. Xingzhi and others even couldn’t stop him.


    “Brother! Don’t be impulsive!” Xingzhi yelled, but unfortunately, he couldn’t stop Ye Zhaojue who was flying into a rage.


    Looking at Ye Zhaojue who was recklessly. Bai Qiwei was shocked. He immediately ordered Bai Feijue and other shadow guards: “Stop him! How dare him to go wild in Prime Minister’s mansion. Today I’ll kick his ass even he is a general!”


    Bai Feijue and other shadow guards had to obey Bai Qiwei’s order when they heard him, so they rushed to Ye Zhaojue.


    Ye Zhaojue was unable to rush to Bai Aoxue immediately since he was obstructed by Bai Feijue and other shadow guards. Looking at those shadow guards, Ye Zhaojue suddenly burst intoughter.


    “Hahaha...Bai Qiwei, I didn’t expect that these shadow guards are still working for you. Don’t forget that they were trained for you by Wanqing in the past. Don’t you feel guilty of using people trained by Wanqing?”


    When everybody heard Ye Zhaojue’s words, they were shocked again. They didn’t think that these shadow guards were actually trained by Bai Aoxue’s mother.


    When Bai Qiwei heard Ye Zhaojue’s words, he was like a cat that was stepped on the tail. He looked at Ye Zhaojue with horror and yelled: “Ye Zhaojue, those good-for-nothings have already died!”


    After saying that, he whipped Bai Aoxue again!


    Ye Zhaojue’s pupils contracted instantly. Seeing that Bai Aoxue’s original white and tender skin was seriously injured, Ye Zhaojue felt distressed in the extreme.


    Bai Aoxue opened her rosy lips slightly and said a number, while everybody missed it.


    Only Luoyan, who had been staring at Bai Aoxue once she stepped in the courtyard, saw Bai Aoxue opening her mouth.


    “Seven?” Luoyan whispered.


    Although her voice was weak, it was captured by Xingzhi who had good hearing. He turned to look at Luoyan and said: “Princess Luoyan, it’s not the time to count. You should persuade General! He is impulsive now. It’s not good for Miss or him!”


    How could Luoyan not want to persuade Ye Zhaojue? However, in what position did she do it? If she had switched position with Ye Zhaojue, she would do the same thing as he did.


    Today, she wouldn’t stop Ye Zhaojue!


    But she had doubts about Bai Aoxue. She thought that Bai Aoxue wouldn’t tolerate hardships or insults, but today she was so unmoved by Bai Qiwei’s words, which made Luoyan doubt whether she saw Bai Aoxue wrong.


    Even if she was Ye Zhaojue’s niece, probably she was different from Ye Zhaojue in some ces!


    Luoyan was deep in thought. Nobody paid attention to one of those bodies on the ground. Besides, Luoyan did not think deeply about the number that Bai Aoxue said.


    “Look, he is your general and your big brother. You should trust him and follow him unconditionally!” Looking at Ye Zhaojue with admiration, Luoyan said seriously.


    Xingzhi calmed down after listening to Luoyan’s words. Yes! They should believe in Ye Zhaojue!


    When Ye Zhaojue listened to Bai Qiwei’s words, he kicked a shadow guard away and said: “Bai Qiwei, do you think that you can have today’s glory without Wanqing? Now, your glory should be past!”


    Those powerful and rousing words stirred Bai Qiwei’s heart. This was Bai Qiwei’s secret. Yes, without Ye Wanqing, who gave him advice and suggestions, he couldn’t be Prime Minister.


    If Ye Wanqing hadn’t helped him, perhaps he couldn’t be so sessful today, while he also envied Ye Wanqing’s cleverness from the bottom of his heart. Besides, Su Qianqian’s pillow talk also made him keep distance from Ye Wanqing.


    He appreciated Ye Wanqing’s talents, while he also envied Ye Wanqing’s cleverness. Now he reached the peak of his career. As long as Ye Wanqing existed, he was reminded every minute that he got his achievements because of a woman!


    How could he not resent,in or being angry?


    “Ye Zhaojue, you shut up! Ye Wanqing is dead! Even if she was smart, our daughter is aplete disgrace! She is weak and ipetent! She has no merits!” Bai Qiwei said with resentment. After saying that, he whipped toward Bai Aoxue’s face!


    When Ye Zhaojue saw this scene, he immediately shouted: “Bai Qiwei, stop! Don’t hurt Aoxue!”


    However, Bai Qiwei waspletely annoyed because of Ye Zhaojue’s words. He whipped towards Bai Aoxue’s pale face regardless of everything.


    At the extreme critical moment, a stone flying from the dark hit Bai Qiwei’s whip. Although it was only a small obstruction, Bai Qiwei didn’t hit Bai Aoxue’s face because of that stone. That whip once again hit Bai Aoxue’s arm.


    When Bai Qiwei saw someone secretly making a move, he shouted: “Who are you! Get out!”


    “Oops, I didn’t mean it. Forgive me, Prime Minister Bai.” Qi Liange came out from the dark slowly. There was annoyance in his words because he made a mistake.


    When Bai Qiwei saw Qi Liangeing out of the darkness, he was shocked. He didn’t know how long Qi Liange had stayed there, but he was even angrier because Qi Liange blocked his move.


    When Qi Liange saw that Bai Qiwei was going to get angry, he faintly said: “Prime Minister Bai, it’s not the time to get angry.”


    Bai Qiwei did not understand Qi Liange’s words.


    But they felt that murderous air kept emitting from Bai Aoxue’s pale face and her dark and deep eyes which were bottomless.


    “Eight. Eight whips. Bai Aoxue is dead.” She opened her lips which had no color. Her words werepletely gloomy and cold.
