Xu Er's wife looked at Xu Ling, knowing this girl would be beyond help without further guidance, she nodded and said, "Yes, daughter-in-law will remember, and won't give Girl Ling any special treatment."
Xu Ling heard Elder Xu's words and almost fainted from anger. Grandfather intended to starve her for three days and nights?
Oh no, boo hoo, grandfather clearly favors the second branch of the family and wants to mistreat the first branch!
Xu Ling cried, though she still held hope in her heart, thinking Grandfather was just trying to scare her. It was impossible he would actually starve her for three days, nor would he let her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days; at most, he would let her return to her room in the middle of the night.
But Xu Ling was wrong. When Elder Xu decided to correct someone, he would not hold back, and he would mean what he said; he wouldn't spare her just to be lenient.
