Bullied to death-2

Fu Ze was writing very fast not leaving a word behind. He cursed his luck and envied Qiu Le and Pei Zhang who were sipping on tea and watching the show.

"Pei yan and wen cai as a prince and princess not upholding ones status also in cahoots with unruly people... their education and morality dropping to that of an idiot shaming the royal family.. umm.. giving face to emperor.. Pei yan is to head for

dragon temple where he will receive 20 planks and calm his soul among the monks for 3 months.

He will remain in the vicinity with royal guards protection learning the teaching's from the monks. He is to serve Buddha and live like a monk without any privilege of a prince. If found to be mischievous and troubling the peace of monks and temple have your neck washed for this lord"

He was immediately grabbed and hurled to carriage to receive the punishment. Though not beaten in public but the shame was equal. A prince having to live in a temple as a monk without any privilege, 20 planks of beating... it was clearly stomping on his pride of being a prince. But he was still thankful to keep his head.

"Concubine Li, failing to have her children guide on good path should head to pu Shan monastery to ask forgiveness while praying for the good future of Nanling till her son has learned well" with this order another women was removed from the harem.

Qiu le knew that it was now impossible for concubine li to return back to palace and was doomed to remain in that monastery till her demise. The empress would definetly be over the moon with joy.

"Pei wen cai brain thick as a brick.. not having gained enough knowledge.. umm.. will be sent to royal ancestral shrine.. will receive 20 canings where she will pray and will also be taught by strict palace mama of the virtues needed and carried on by a royal princess..

If found to be a bad student troubling her teachers then have her balded and sent to be a nun in Heping monastery of Caimin" like Pei yan she was led by the old maids to have her punishment started. By this time Li Yin seemed to have finished reciting all the events and was now crying along with her brother.

Fu Ze finally was able to take a breather some while ago and was sipping the tea served by tao. He knew that he would be now writing on the empty edict sealing the dukes fate.

The duke and his wife knew in their heart well that their entire household will be dragged as atonement for their children's sins. And sure enough Yusheng started to speak.

"Hearing from the maiden.. the fun things they have done is not few.. without their parents encouragement and blind support no noble child has the guts to behave so brazen..

The greater the title the higher the responsibilities.. talking the talk but not walking the walk.. it is bringing shame upon the title one holds while also shaming the one who bestowed it..

As a warning to all the ones who hold the titles and privilege of belonging to a noble family.. Li Jing is to be stripped of his title... he shall be only a noble from today with no titles on his head.. all the properties and wealth he received as a duke shall be handed to the state treasury under the state advisors supervision.

For his past services his children will not be evicted for their previous sins. If found to have not guided these children on correct path then all the Li family should prepare to be commoners stripped of their nobility and head for exile.

This lord will send person from association to check on your children later.. after all this lord doesn't want your children dying suddenly.. as this lords intention is to bully not have them killed..

Li Jing make sure that you teach your children well so that in future this lord would see them as persons to be rewarded and not bullied. Receive the edict and take your children back"

Li Jing somehow manages to receive the edict from state advisor and thanks for the grace. He leaves with his wife while their children is supported by their servants. As he was inside the carriage he vomits blood frightening all the people and rushed back to home.

He was clear on Yusheng's warning to not kill his children as to clean his household from the matter. Not only he lost his title he had to keep these two thorns beside him reminding him and the capital of the shame and punishment he faced today.

This day onwards the life of both Li Si and Li Yin was bitter and harsher than of a beggar. They were tortured and scorned by the entire family in mane of teaching. Their privilege was far gone and now treated like servants. Though living still they felt worse than dying, guarded by shadow guards to have them stop from commiting suicide.

While Yusheng and the rest calmly left the area like immortals as if nothing had happened. But as soon as they left many people were rejoicing from the downfall of these tyrants. Praising Yusheng and Pei Jin high to sky even Pei Zhang, Qiu le and fu Zé receiving little benefits from this event.
