Dear Commander-in-Chief Chapter 571 - Going to Hit Her Hard

Chapter 571: Going to Hit Her Hard

Bai Mori looked at Xiao Ning with a spurious smile.

It would be too easy to attract Gong Jue’s attention and alertness if she relied on her own strength to deal with Gu Qiqi. But it would be different if the entire Bai family became enemies with her.

It was logical to say that Gu Qiqi was the one who started it and the Bai family dealt with her later.

Furthermore, after dealing with Gu Qiqi and making decisions in the family, even if Gong Jue knew about it, he couldn’t do anything to her. She could deal with Gu Qiqi without having any responsibility.

Furthermore, Gu Qiqi had offended the Bai family. Even Gong Jue would probably have to think about whether there was a need to keep such a woman who caused trouble everywhere by his side.

This strategy was perfect!

Without batting an eyelid, Bai Mori had this plan in mind.

However, on the surface, she still looked like an elder who was willing to force a confession from her niece for the sake of the family’s reputation. “Xiao Ning, do you choose to protect your mother or protect an outsider like Gu Qiqi? Hmm?”

Xiao Ning half-knelt on the ground. Her knees were numb from the fall and she couldn’t even stand up.

But her back was still ramrod straight as she stubbornly looked at the Bai family people who were looking down from above.

If it was possible, she didn’t want to be relatives with these hypocritical people who kept talking about the family’s honor at all!

The only reason why she was in contact with the Bai family was that she had to consider her mother.

At this moment, she was still a little hesitant because she was worried that her mother would be affected.

But… Could it be that she would betray Qiqi for herself and her mother?

If the Bai family obtained the evidence that Qiqi had schemed against Qing Yuxuan, how would they deal with Qiqi? She didn’t even dare to think about it.

If her mother and she lost the Bai family’s protection, at most, they would lose their current comfortable life.

But if Qiqi was targeted by the Bai family, her life would probably be in danger!

Everyone knew that Little Uncle was famous for being ruthless…

The only thing that Xiao Ning was glad about was that Bai Yeyuan hadn’t returned yet. Faced with Bai Mori at this moment, she could still hold on.

She raised her small face and her eyes were firm. “What happened tonight has nothing to do with Gu Qiqi at all. If I remember correctly, even the invitation letter was given by Bai Yingzhu, right? Gu Qiqi doesn’t have a divine plan. How could she have expected that she would be invited in advance? If you want to frame her, at least have some IQ, okay? If you want to defeat me, can you also be more logical?”

“You! You’re the moron with no IQ! Auntie, I think we should go through the family law and pull out her fingernails! If that doesn’t work, then let’s continue to do that to her toes! Let’s see if she still dares to be stubborn!” Bai Yingzhu said resentfully.

The Bai family’s family law was different from the Gu family’s. How could punishment be as simple as a whip?

The Bai family was very strict in family governance. The family laws described cruel punishments.

Pulling out fingernails was a torture method used in ancient government offices.

It was said that the Bai family had an unfilial descendant who sold important information to a business rival and became a traitor. In the end, he was personally sentenced by Bai Yeyuan. Ten of his toes were broken and he died from pain.

Thus, when Bai Yingzhu said this punishment, the Bai family members present couldn’t help but tremble.

The eldest sister, Bai Qiangwei, who was serving tea and warm soup to the Old Master was bedridden all year round. She lived in seclusion and rarely partic.i.p.ated in the family’s affairs. At this moment, her pale face couldn’t help but tremble. Shaking, she stopped her and said, “Yingzhu, such a severe punishment can’t be casually mentioned. Xiao Ning is still a child…”

“Back then, the person who betrayed our Bai family was also a child! Eldest Aunt, have you forgotten?!” Bai Yingzhu snorted coldly.

Bai Mori said indifferently, “We gave her the chance, but some people aren’t cooperative…”
