The Forbidden Garden had not been cleaned for many years, and the gravel floor was paved. And Alline knelt down directly, she was afraid that her knees would be injured. Regardless of the pain, she endured it silently, and cold sweat slowly flowed down from her back.
Ethan didn't say anything. His eyes were gloomy. There were a few complex emotions in them, like surging waves of fury, or as cold as frost in them. He stared at Alline, and Alline trembled with the coldness in her eyes.
She had an illusion that Ethan wanted to kill her at that moment. She was so frightened that she sweated and subconsciously lowered her head. She was not wrong. There was a flash of killing intent in Grandpa Ethan's eyes. What exactly was the Forbidden Garden? She just accidentally broke in and Ethan wanted to kill her, but she dared not ask.
The atmosphere froze, and the garden was even weirder. The faint cry of the woman seemed to be close, or as far as a heavy mountain. She had a good attitude, "Grandpa, I was wrong. Please forgive me! "
Ethan was old now. In recent years, the hostility on his body had faded a lot, but he was ordinary and unfathomable. After all, his eyes had seen much blood. At this time, when he glanced at others coldly, everyone booed. His eyes seemed to be investigating something, and there was also a hint of blame. Everyone was suddenly shocked, as if the anger of Ethan would not disappear so easily, and today, it was not easy for Alline to escape from this disaster.
No one dared to speak, and while waiting for Ethan's final trial, Emma had been quietly staring at Ethan. She wanted to see how Ethan would deal with Alline when she broke into the Forbidden Garden this time. Perhaps Ethan had noticed Emma's gaze, he pulled the corners of his mouth a little and said, "Since you know you were wrong, why don't you go back to the ancestral hall as soon as possible and admit your mistakes in front of your ancestors to reflect on yourself! "
No one had ever thought that the punishment would be so light. A few years ago, a thoughtless servant broke into the Forbidden Garden, and he was killed by a walking stick by the order of Ethan. But now, since Alline broke into the Forbidden Garden, Ethan only asked her to kneel down!
The punishment was naturally light, and those who came to see the fun were not reconciled.
"Dad, I'm afraid the punishment tonight is not appropriate. If we let Alline go so easily, I'm afraid it's against the rules of our Mo family! Lucia was the first one to doubt Ethan's decision and asked in reply. Although she said so, she intend to ask Ethan to punish Alline.
Ethan stared at Lucia coldly, "Have I said that I won't punish her? "
"But, Dad..." Lucia hesitated.
"What? Do you have any objection? Ethan raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Lucia, don't forget that you have married into Lu family! It's none of your business! "
Although Lucia married Daniel Lu, Ethan loved her daughter very much. He didn't want to beat or scold her. It was the first time that he had said something so harsh. Lucia trembled and didn't dare to say anything more subconsciously.
Hearing this, Denise glanced at her husband. Although she had been married to Mo family for many years and knew her husband more or less, she was unwilling to let go of Alline since she had got such a chance. So she tried to stir up the trouble and said, "Ethan, although Lucia is not a member of our Mo family, if we let Alline go so easily, will the rules of Mo family be broken? "
"Shut up! How could you talk nonsense here when I was dealing with things! The fire in Ethan's eyes rose again, gloomy and hard to hide.
