Punishment

Feng Chen is staring blankly at Feng Xuan. He Doesn't know how to respond to the current situation that he is facing now.

"Feng Chen, I thought you are a good person and a caring father, so I gifted you a valuable pill, but you have disappointed me so much, and I can only blame myself for not seeing your true colors." Feng Zhang said with a sigh.

"Elder Feng Chen, I didn't think you are such a vile person."

"Elder Feng Chen, You have turned down the Feng Clan."

"Elder Feng Chen, How can you became the traitor of the clan."

"Elder Feng Chen, we all trusted you so much, but for what you have done today, you have become the sinner of the Clan."

All the elders presented are scolding, criticizing, balming, and cursing Feng Chen because the events that happened today show that he is the one who kidnapped Feng Xuan's son.

"Husband, what is happening here?" Su Ling asked tremblingly. She doesn't know why they are blaming her husband, but she knows one thing, that her husband is a good person, and he harms no one.

Feng Chen doesn't know how to reply to his wife. He is staring blankly at his wife.

Feng Chen is now certain that someone is framing him, but he doesn't know who it is and why he is doing this, and now he also knows that that person placed all his pawns meticulously, and now he can not escape from this encirclement.

Feng Chen now has no way of proving that he is innocent, and all the evidence is against him.

Feng Chen now has only two options. The first one is he will fight head-on with all these people and try to escape with his wife and son, but he cannot win all these people, especially Feng Xuan. He might lose his life, and he is not afraid of death, but his action might endanger his wife and son, so he can't choose this option.

The second option is to surrender, and in this option, he might be exempted from execution based on his past service to the clan, but he will be imprisoned, and his son and wife will be spared.

Only now he understood that the person who is framing him doesn't give him anyway out, and he can only do what the other person wants to do.

"Elders, what are you all saying? My husband hasn't done any mistake." Su Ling pleads on behalf of her husband.

"Su Ling, your husband, tried to kidnap the patriarch's son, and he also tried to cover that his son was kidnapped by someone else, and if someone kidnapped his son, then who is the child in your hand." Feng Zhang asked.

"Grand elder, What my husband said is true, and someone really kidnapped my son." Su Ling said truthfully.

"What are you trying to say, Su Ling. Are you trying to say that he is not your son or your son is really kidnapped, and he was also brought back by the same person? You think we are fools." Feng Zhang refuted Su Ling with no way out.

"Yeah, You can't say something like this because we aren't here. You are saying this because we have no way to prove your statement is wrong, so you can say what all you what." Some elder added.

"I think Su Ling is also in Cahoots with her husband in kidnapping the patriarch's son." One of the elders added.

"Like a husband, like a wife. Two of you are a traitorous couple of the clan." another elder said.

Su Ling is also brought into the crime as a partner. Su Ling is also shocked by their explanations. What she said is true, but no one is believing her words.

Today evets are designed in such a way that, even if they say true, and no one will believe them. If they say anything else, it will cause more suspicion towards them.

Feng Chen now thinks that may be this trap for both their husband and wife.

"Patriarch, we have to punish this traitours couple severely, to give an example to anyone who tries to commit such mistakes in future." One elder is suggested.

"We have to punish them severely." another person also said.

"Brother, For what they have done, we might execute them, but his grandfather was once a patriarch, and he is also done great service to the clan as an elder, so I suggest we will put them together in prison for their lifetime." Feng Zhang suggested the punishment.

Feng Xuan also thinks for some time, and he slowly adjusted his voice and said,

"Feng Chen, for what you have done, we can execute you, but by remembering your services, and I as a patriarch sentencing your couples lifetime imprisonment." Feng Xuan said authoritatively.

"Patriarch, we are innocent, and we didn't do anything wrong. I have a small child, and I beg you, don't separate me from my child, and he is only three months old." Su Ling try to pardon their punishment, and she almost knelt down, but his husband reached her, and he also stopped her from doing this. Su Ling hugged her husband, and she is crying out loudly. In fact, if it isn't for her child, she wouldn't have done this.

Tian Jian is observing all, and he is very sad by looking at her mother, but he is not crying at all because he knew if he cries in this situation, his mother would be heartbroken.

"Su Ling, I also want to make pardon for you, but you have to think before it's done. And if I pardon my brother for you, he might spare your punishment in looking at your child. But if you couples are spared, others might do the same mistake by looking at you. So for the sake of the clan, we sometimes have to be merciless." Feng Zhang helplessly said to Su Ling.

"Immediately call the law enforcement department elders, and apply punishment to these couples." Feng Xuan said mercilessly.

Shortly after, the law enforcement department came, and they tried to take away the Couples, But Su Ling tightly hugged the Tian Jian and reluctantly refused to go.

Feng Chen reached his wife, and he placed his hands on her back to support her. He separated his wife and child, gave his child to a maid, and slowly walked away with the law enforcement elders with his wife.

After they were taken away by the law enforcement elders

"Brother, what will we do with this child?" Feng Zhang raised another issue.

"Yes, Patriarch, he has traitors blood flowing throw him, and we also must give him some punishment." One of the elders suggested.

"How about we make him a servant of the clan." another one suggested.

"No, we can't give him any punishment, and it will cause public ridicule. The public will comment that we give punishment to a three months child for the mistake made by his parents. Our Clan face will be lost, and you all know how much our ancestor will care for the face of the clan." Feng Xuan said.

"But if he lives in the clan, and future when he knows that his parents are placed in a prison, he will surely hold a grudge against us, and he may turn into a traitor like his father." One elder said with worry.

"Brother, I think I have a perfect solution for this, and with this, we will not lose any face in public at all." Feng Zhang came forward with an idea.

"What is it, brother? tell us immediately." Feng Xuan asked his brother.

"I think it's best we let heavens made punishment." Feng Zhang said.

"How will heavens punish him?" Feng Xuan asked with surprise.

"It's like this we will send this child to the eastern region through a random teleport formation. If heavens want to punish him, it will give him death, and if heavens want to spare him, it will give him a new life, and that life has nothing to do with us, so let the heavens decide his fate so no one will criticize us." Feng Zhang Suggested.

"It is perfect. Let the heaven decides his fate, and that fate will be nothing to do with us anyway." One elder said appreciatively.

"Then, I will take your suggestion, brother. I will send him to The Eastern Region through random teleportation." Feng Xuan.

"Everyone, before we leave, I want to say something, and I think it's best not to tell this matter to ancestor. If ancestor knowns that one the decedent turned into traitor of the clan he fell very sad, and presently ancestor is in seclusion it's better not to disturb him for this type of matters." Feng Zhang said reasonably.

"You right, Grand elder, we will follow your words."

After that, everyone left the courtyard leaving Tian Jian and a maid who was holding him.
