Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Kneel down

At that moment, Leopoldo also stood up worriedly and approached the grandmother's side, speaking in a low voice:
-All right?
After the grandmother calmed down, she paid no attention to Leopoldo, but glared hatefully at Mariana:
-Mari, you have to remember that you are Leo's wife, you are husband and wife.
Finished speaking, Grandma got up and walked over to the side of the antique piece of furniture, on top of which was a dark brown wooden bar, reached over and pulled it out.
Mariana stood up somewhat incredulously and spoke in a low voice:
-You don't have to.
She knew very well that this was her family's rule. Those who made mistakes were whipped with this ancient wooden bar as a way of putting future generations on guard.
I didn't expect Grandma to have to use the family rule to help her today.
Next to him, Leopoldo was also a little depressed, his eyes deepened. He looked at Mariana.
However, the way Grandma got angry had also scared him, and at this point, he would never make her angry again.
-Come here, kneel down!
A deep voice rang out as the grandmother raised the bar and looked at Leopoldo angrily.
Leopold got up and walked over to the closet, and knelt down beside his grandmother, his face still sullen and cold.
-You know you're wrong?
However, the words received no response, and Leopoldo knelt down with an expression of not admitting his mistake.
-Well, in that case...
Before she had finished the words, the grandmother had already shaken the bar, falling fiercely on Leopoldo's body. A dull thud echoed in the room, causing Mariana to startle and rush forward.
He grabbed his grandmother's hand,
-Grandma ...
She said, shaking her head.
-Get out of the way, Mari!
Then he kept pounding, the sound of the bars and shirts crashing against each other echoed through the room, sending shockwaves through people's hearts.
And Leopold, who was kneeling on the floor, remained erect, his lips tightly closed, without uttering the slightest sound.
Mariana was a little nervous and glanced worriedly at the beads of sweat on Leopoldo's forehead, whose veins had bulged.
He stopped the grandmother again, grabbing her hand, not letting go again.
-Stop knocking, Grandma.
The voice was tinged with bitterness, and a touch of unspeakable meaning.
Leopoldo, who had been kneeling, looked at Mariana, who had an urgent look on her face, but said nothing.
His dark eyes reflected the shadow of the woman in his eyes, causing a shuddering feeling to pierce the heart.
Grandma's hand gripped tightly as she looked at Mariana and spoke in a deep voice:
-What are you doing, Mari? No one has yet dared to stop the family rule.
Mariana's heart trembled, but she did not let go of his hand:
-Grandma, stop hitting, you'll be hurt.
-Mari, I'm helping you teach him a lesson! He treated you like that and let others bully you, why do you keep protecting him!
Looking at Mariana, the grandmother spoke in a deep tone.
-I'm fine, grandma, you don't have to worry about me, Leo treats me very well, that woman is just bothering Leo, but he doesn't listen to her.
Mariana was anxious in her heart and uttered those words.
Under such an intense gaze from her grandmother, she was a little confused.
Grandma was not satisfied, however, and shook her head, with a twinkle in her aged eyes,
-Mari, there must be another reason.
Mariana's eyes averted and she opened her mouth, but could not speak.
-Okay, since you don't care anymore, then I won't hit.
Mariana hesitated for a moment and finally let go of his hand. Grandma put the bar away and put it back on top of the wooden cabinet.
Grandma turned around and walked over to the couch and sat down, taking two sips of water before she was calm, but her breathing was still a bit rapid.
He had just gotten angry, so he couldn't help but use a lot of force.
-Come and sit down, Mari.
Grandma paused and said again to Leopoldo in a cold voice:
-Come and sit down too!
Leopoldo slowly made his way to the sofa in front of him and sat down, his face still calm and serene, as if he were not the one who had just been hit.
Mariana sat next to her grandmother and gently rubbed her shoulders and arms.
-Grandma, why do you have to be angry? It's not good for your health.
Besides, such things were no longer taken seriously.
But after saying this, there was still a strange feeling in his heart, and his movements stopped for a moment.
-Stay here for a while, girl.
Then, the grandmother turned her head to look at Leopoldo:
-Come with me to the studio, I have something to tell you.
Grandma patted Mariana's hand, got up and left.
Clara, who had been listening in the corner of the wall, arrived in front of Mariana at this moment, looking at her with anger in her eyes.
-Go out with me.
After saying this, he took the lead and went out.
Mariana paused, but got up and followed Clara.
The two of them reached the garden, Clara made sure no one was there before speaking angrily:
-I heard what you said inside. Since the relationship between you and Leopoldo is not good either, and I had advised you to get a divorce, why didn't you agree?
Clara looked at Mariana with anger and resentment on her face.
Mariana smiled bitterly and spoke in confusion:
-I never knew why you didn't approve of my marriage to Leopoldo. Am I not your own daughter? Don't you want me to be happy?
Clara was unable to look directly at Mariana's bitter and desolate gaze, and a rush of guilt arose in her heart.
He thought of something else, however, and the guilt dissipated cleanly, and when he raised his head again, he had recovered the anger he had just felt.
-Don't change the subject! Let's not talk about what happened then, this time the old lady has used the family rule, naturally because Leopold had done something really bad, if that's the case, why don't you divorce him yet? I do it for your own good.
However, Mariana took half a step back and shook her head, unable to continue laughing.
