212: C212 Punishment

C212 Punishment

"I, I …" Han Zhou'er's lips were trembling as if she did not know what to do.

Han Zongkun's face was gloomy. He didn't expect Han Zhou'er to have done it. He coldly snorted and looked at Ding Yi, asking, "Ding Yi, what do you think should be done with it?"

"You are the head of the family, it is up to you to handle everything." Hearing Han Zongkun's words, Ding Yi slightly bowed and handed the punishment over to Han Zongkun.

Ding Yi's actions gave Han Zongkun enough face, but at the same time pushed him onto the stage. In front of so many people, if he didn't punish him impartially, people would probably criticize him.

"Wu'er, carry out the family training!" Thinking about this, Han Zongkun harrumphed and shouted at Han Chengwu, "According to my family's article 34, how should I punish for stealing other people's things?"

"Stealing items from others, but voluntarily surrendering himself and being sentenced to thirty lashes, you are not allowed to enter the Ancestral Mansion for three years!" Han Chengwu took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

Hearing Han Chengwu's words, Han Zhou'er immediately fell to the ground. She was sentenced to thirty lashes and was forbidden from entering the ancestral residence for three years. Wasn't this equivalent to cutting off her future?

Wait until three years later, where would she be in the Han's Group? Her second uncle, Han Chengshan, was an example. Han Zhou'er was stupefied when she thought about how Han Chengshan's mockery might be transferred over to her.

No matter what, she could not have imagined that it would turn out like this.

"Wait." However, at this moment, Ding Yi suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Han Chengwu.

Ding Yi looked at Han Zhou'er who was lying on the ground and said lightly, "I remember that she didn't turn herself in, right?"

"I remember asking her just now if she said it herself, or if she wanted me to find out what she chose. Everyone should be very clear about that. Where did she turn herself in?" A trace of ridicule appeared on Ding Yi's face as he continued, "Besides, sister Zhou'er is so delicate and tender, how could she withstand the caning?"

"Fifth Uncle, I remember that under rule 34, those who plagiarize and refuse to admit their mistakes shouldn't need to be punished, right?" At this point, Ding Yi paused for a moment and looked at Han Chengwu.

Han Chengwu frowned, but he still nodded and said, "Those who steal other people's items and refuse to admit their mistakes, they don't need to be punished by caning, but …"

"But what?" Han Chengwen was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"In accordance with rule 34 of the family rules, those who plagiarize and refuse to admit their wrongdoings shall be expelled from the family, and be deprived of their family identity because they are detrimental to the family culture!" Han Chengwu took a deep breath and said resolutely.

Han Chengwu was one of the few people with the Han Family who didn't care about Ding Yi and Han Zhou'er.

Since Ding Yi made it clear that he was not willing to let Han Zhou'er go, Han Chengwu no longer showed mercy and bluntly announced the punishment of the family rules.

Hearing the rules, Han Zhou'er's face changed drastically. She quickly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Han Zongkun, begging, "Grandfather, I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. I won't dare to do it again!"

"Dad, Zhou'er … she didn't do it on purpose. Please spare her once!" Han Chengwen was also sweating profusely. If Han Zhou'er was expelled from the family, then as his father, his end would not be much better. "Zhou'er, she's young and inexperienced, please spare her once."

Hearing his son pleading with his granddaughter, Han Zongkun frowned. He couldn't help but sigh and look at Ding Yi with his mouth agape.

Before Han Zongkun could say anything, Ding Yi sneered, looked at Han Chengwen and said, "Young and ignorant? "Then tell me, who should pay for her youth?"

"You guys don't even have evidence for what happened to my father-in-law, what right do you have to deal with him like that!" Having said so, Ding Yi turned around and looked at Han Zongkun as he said indifferently, "Grandpa, if there is no rule, then there is no limit. Don't tell me you want to break the family rules?!"

"Dad, the family rules cannot be broken!" Hearing Ding Yi's words, Han Chengwu's face darkened, and immediately cupped his fists, "My clan's rules are the foundation of my Han Family, I cannot break them!"

If he only made an exception to let Han Zhou'er off the hook once, then it would be fine. However, if he broke the family rules, then it would be different. If the Old Master broke the family rules for Han Zhou'er, then the family rules would no longer be binding.

No matter who broke the family rules, they would use this matter as a shield. At that time, how would the Patriarch control the Han Family?

"Execute!" Hearing his son say that, Han Zongkun sighed helplessly and shouted in a low voice.

"It's over, it's all over." As Han Zongkun finished his sentence, Han Chengwen plopped down on the stool.

Han Zhou'er looked at Han Zongkun in a daze and suddenly stood up. With a venomous look in her eyes, she charged towards Ding Yi with bared fangs and brandished claws.

"I'll kill you!" Han Zhou'er's sharp voice startled everyone.

Seeing Han Zhou'er rushing towards him, Ding Yi frowned slightly. He grabbed Han Zhou'er's wrist and flung her away.2

Han Zhou'er was a weak girl who couldn't even fight a chicken. How could she be a match for Ding Yi? She was directly thrown to the ground by Ding Yi.

"Although I don't hit women, don't force me either." Looking at Han Zhou'er who fell on the ground, Ding Yi brushed the corner of his clothes and said lightly.

Ding Yi didn't have a shred of pity for Han Zhou'er. She had brought all of this upon herself. If it wasn't for Han Zhou'er changing the betrothal gift, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Good, Old Master Han is indeed worthy of being called the leader of a first-rate family. I, Wei, admire him!" Seeing this, Wei Jianguo stood up and cupped his fist towards Han Zongkun with a smile.

When the gloomy-looking Han Zongkun saw Wei Jianguo clasping his fist at him, he immediately returned the greeting with an expression of being overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

To be able to get Wei Jianguo's recognition, Han Zongkun was pleasantly surprised. Thinking back to the relationship between Ding Yi and the other party, Han Zongkun suddenly felt that this was an opportunity for Han Family.

After that, no one had any interest in staying here anymore. After a simple meal, they all said their goodbyes to Han Zongkun.

The lively banquet ended hastily just like that. After Ding Yi sent everyone away, he looked at Jin Siqi who was about to drive away and whispered, "Don't go yet. I have something to ask you."

"Hmph, is there something you can't say here?" Jin Siqi snorted coldly as she was slightly dissatisfied with Ding Yi.

Although Han Feirong didn't know what the two had to say, she still said to Ding Yi with a smile, "You two chat first, I'll go back and help pack up."

Looking at Han Feirong's back, Ding Yi took a deep breath and asked, "Where has your grandfather been recently?"

"Northern Realm!" After hesitating for a moment, Jin Siqi glanced at Ding Yi and said with a serious expression, "I left five days ago and haven't been back since."
