After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Ye Guangxiao was, after all, a high-ranking official of the second rank. For his husband and son to kneel before a boy of about ten years old was a blatant insult to his dignity.

However, this young man was of noble birth, and he couldn't afford to offend any of the powerful figures behind him, so he had no choice but to remain silent and patient.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he couldn't calm down the anger inside.

Judging from his expression, he must be thinking about how to regain face today.

Pearl didn't care at all. No matter what kind of counterattack Ye Guangxiao might make in the future, she was ready to accept it.

What he wanted was for his family to not dare to cause trouble for his fifth uncle after he left the Southwest.

Pearl could easily guess why Fifth Uncle and Lin Ling were bullied but didn't dare to tell Fifth Uncle.

They were afraid of causing trouble for their fifth uncle, afraid that their actions would make things difficult for him in the military camp due to the governor's harassment, and afraid that he would be put in a difficult position.

So they chose to compromise themselves.

Pearl didn't care about any of that; anyone who dared to bully his family would have to bear his wrath.

Lord Ye now understood that Princess Zhaoren was someone they could not possibly contend with, as she could make even the master bow down to her.

He immediately begged for forgiveness, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. This was all my idea, and it has nothing to do with my son. I am willing to accept any punishment, but please punish me alone."

Ye Xiang cried and said, "It has nothing to do with my stepfather, it's all my fault. Punish me, not my stepfather."

At this moment, the father and son suddenly became affectionate, and Pearl coldly watched them hug each other and cry.

When they bullied Fifth Uncle, he wasn't this pitiful.

If he hadn't gone back early, those two burly men would definitely have attacked him.

Just as Pearl was about to speak, two people burst in from outside.

At this point, the only people who would dare to trespass into the governor's mansion are the Lin brothers, who have received the letter.

Lin Yuntang grabbed Pearl and examined her repeatedly. "Are you alright?"

Pearl blinked and immediately knew that it was her fifth uncle who was worried about her and had brought reinforcements.

He immediately pulled his two uncles aside and whispered something to them.

First, he said to Lin Yunting, "He called my fifth uncle a slut, called Lingling a little slut, and even wanted to hit them."

Lin Yunting's face darkened.

Then Pearl said to Lin Yuntang, "He called Beizhen a little beast."

Lin Yuntang raised his dead fish eyes and stared straight at Ye Guangxiao.

After finishing her complaint, Pearl put her hands on her hips and stood aside.

Lin Yunting curled his lips, "Fourth brother, let's just take these fifty lashes."

Lin Yuntang nodded.

While Pearl was still trying to figure out what they meant, she saw her two uncles, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, grab Ye Guangxiao and give him a severe beating.

Those punches were truly brutal, landing with every blow.

Pearl couldn't bear to look any further and covered her eyes.

The servants around couldn't get close enough to help, and could only watch helplessly as their master was beaten.

What Pearl found strange was that even Ye Guangxiao's husband was coldly watching his man being beaten. He held Ye Xiang, and neither of them said a word.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. A person who abandons his husband when something goes wrong is unlikely to have anyone truly loyal to him.

Seeing that Ye Guangxiao was barely breathing, Pearl pulled her two uncles apart, putting on a mature demeanor, and said, "Uncles, let it go, let it go."

The tone was almost the same as saying, "Let it go for my sake."

As soon as the two brothers stopped, the servants of the governor's mansion immediately surrounded them, some calling for a doctor, others helping them up, creating a flurry of activity.

Pearl scratched her head. "Although it's quite satisfying, uncles, usually only Fifth Uncle is at home. After you leave, he'll definitely go after Fifth Uncle."

Lin Yunting took a deep breath. "Or we could just kill him and then burn this place down. That way, there'll be no evidence, and who will know it was us?"

Lin Yuntang was speechless. It seemed that the fifth brother wasn't very bright. They swaggered over, and everyone on the street saw them.

Now they've set fire to the governor's mansion. Not to mention the emperor's wrath and reprimands later, it will be difficult to explain to the general.

Pearl then suggested, "Why don't we just say I started the fire?"

The two adults: "..."

Lin Yunting then asked, "Fourth brother, you're the smartest. What do you suggest we do to make Ye Guangxiao afraid to bother Xiaohan in the future?"

Lin Yuntang thought for a moment, then said, "Please grant the seal."

Pearl immediately raised her hand, "Then I'll go write a letter to my royal uncle."

Lin Yuntang immediately grabbed Pearl by the back of the neck.

Pearl, whose fate was being gripped by the scruff of her neck, blinked innocently. "What's wrong?"

"You're not allowed to run around," Lin Yuntang said.

"oh."

When the group was about to leave, they saw Ye Xiang and his stepfather kneeling on the ground.

Lord Ye, in particular, was terrified. He had considered what would happen if Lin Wu found out when he bullied Su Han in the past.

So at first, he only dared to do bad things in secret, such as leading the isolation of Su Han, making him unacceptable to the entire circle of noblemen in the Five Poisons Fortress.

Later, when she found out that this person was easy to bully and that Lin Wu hadn't made any moves, she assumed that Su Han was not favored by her husband, and from then on she became even more aggressive.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wu even dared to beat his own master, assaulting an official of a higher rank than himself. Wasn't he afraid of being flogged?

As it turns out, the two brothers were not afraid at all.

After returning the pearl to Lin Wu's family, the two brothers exchanged a few hurried words with their families before returning to the military camp to receive their punishment.

The main message is to admit mistakes and do it again next time.

Pearl was immediately surrounded by people after being carried home by her uncle.

Lin Ling looked like she had just had a good cry; her eyes were red and she was sobbing. "Brother Pearl, are you alright?"

Pearl patted Lin Ling's head. "I'm fine, don't worry."

Su Han choked up, touching this child one moment and that child the next, clearly terrified.

Pearl spoke weakly, "Uncle, I'm hungry."

Su Han then came to her senses and remembered that the children hadn't eaten lunch yet. She quickly asked someone to prepare food and even had a steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers specially made.

In the afternoon, Pearl sat down at her desk and began writing a letter to her uncle, the Emperor, to complain about the situation.

-----------------

Dear Uncle, I am delighted to receive your letter. I inquire after your well-being, as well as that of my beloved Yu Yu and my younger brother Zhi Xuan.

Because I am about to come of age, I specially went out to wander the world and observe the people's conditions!

Upon arriving at the Five Poisons Fortress in the southwest, I was shocked to witness the Southern Frontier Governor Ye Guangxiao oppressing the people and bullying his neighbors! This young hero immediately decided to take action and punish this corrupt official!

Therefore, beating the person up was too impulsive and really shouldn't have been done!

I have sincerely repented, and I hope that my royal uncle can spare my bottom in consideration of my upcoming coming-of-age ceremony.

Also, I request that my Imperial Uncle bestow upon my fifth maternal uncle, Su Han, the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, so that he will no longer be bullied.

From your most beloved little pearl.
