Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday

Mei Mei knew that she could not hide behind Jingzhe’s back forever. It was not a mountain fortress, it was a human body that could be pulled away with some strength and ease.

"Mei Mei, I will protect you." Jingzhe assured her.

She sighed and ducked out from under his hands that were touching the wall. Then she faced him, taking in his confused gaze and said, "A Zhe, I brought this on myself so I must accept the punishment. I have to start rebuilding the bridges I burnt because of foolishness."

She turned and faced her sister, sighing again. Mei Mei’s shoulders fell as she said, "I am ready."

On her face was a defeated look, she looked like the proverbial lamb about to be slaughtered. Rose patted the fur of the slipper with a devious smile on her face. "Lian, take you cousin to class." She ordered her daughter.

Lian and Mingzhu were both first graders, there was no one better to show her around and introduce her to others than Jang Lian who happened to be the class representative.

"Jingzhe, go with them." Mei Mei said slowly.

Mo Jingzhe was not sure he wanted to leave Mei Mei alone with her slipper hurling sister, but he could not refuse to see to it that Mingzhu got to class.

"Mommy..." Mingzhu started in an uncertain voice. Like Jingzhe she was also worried about her mother. If she had not met grandma Manchu and aunt Rose on the day Mei Mei was rushed to the hospital, she would be reluctant to leave her mother.

Mei Mei knew her daughter needed assurance. She approached Mingzhu first, squatted down to meet her at eye level and said with a gentle smile, "Good girl, go to class. This is your mother’s big sister, your aunt. Those are your cousins, you can go with them, they won’t hurt you. Do not fight, if anyone wrongs you come to grandma Manchu and tell her."

"Aunt, I will protect her." Lian said eagerly.

Mei Mei touched Lian’s head and smiled at her niece. "Our Lian is awesome, help your aunt keep an eye on your sister so that she does not get into trouble again."

The children and Jingzhe were sent out, and finally Mei Mei faced Rose and the slipper. Her shoulders fell again and she put on her best sad look, calling fourth the tears to fall as if a waterfall had been placed inside her eyes. If she cried, Rose would take it easy.

Unfortunately for Mei Mei, her tear glands were as dry as the alien desert planet on this day. No matter how hard she squeezed her eyes as she placed her hands on Principal Manchu’s table and prepared herself for the inevitable ass whoopping, no tear fell.

"Sister, be gentle." she made a soft plea.

The first slap that landed on her ass was not gentle, it was hard and definitely meant to hurt. Mei Mei cried out loud because it had been many years since she was last spanked.

"How could you?" Rose asked.

Another spanking fell and Mei Mei whimpered, suddenly the tears she had been looking for made an appearance. However, she did not move or try to avoid the beating.

"I am your sister, your elder sister. I shared a bed with you whenever you had nightmares. I cradled you to sleep, read you bed time stories and washed your bed sheets in secret whenever you wet the bed at night when you were five years old." Rose said in an emotional voice.

Another spanking fell and Rose continued on, "I took the fall for half of the trouble that you started when you were growing up. When you accidentally set the royal kitchen on fire, I was willing to go to prison for you.

When the skin of your back was scalded in that fire, I was willing to donate my skin for you. I love you so much that I am willing to do anything for you and you.." Rose’s voice trembled.

She couldn’t bare to continue with the beating so the slipper fell to the ground.

"How could you do such a thing to me? You left home and run away with that scumbag, turning your back on the whole family. I can understand you cutting off some of our cousins or your friends but I am your sister." Rose’s voice increased as she said the last sentence. Her voice was packed full of anger, betrayal and disbelief which had been years in the making.

She had waited for this moment for so long and now that it had arrived, she did not know whether to hug or beat up her younger sister some more.

"How could you cut me off? You blocked me everywhere, when I gave birth to Lian, you were nowhere to be seen. My own sister and I did not hear a word from you. Do you know that I almost died when I was giving birth?" Rose spun Mei Mei around.

Big fat tears fell from Mei Mei’s eyes, the whimpering turned into loud sobbing. "I am sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Rose wiped away the tears from her cheeks but nevertheless, more fell. "You have a lot of things to be sorry for so what are you apologizing for?"

Mei Mei’s tears flowed freely, her cries turned into loud emotional wails. Each wail carried her own grief that she had suffered away from home. "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..." she said, over and over

Rose’s anger melted bit by bit, as much as she was angry, she was glad to know that her younger sister was apologetic and she had learned her sorry. She clutched Mei Mei in a ferocious embrace, as if the very act could magically weave together the years that they had missed.

"Older sister, I was wrong." Mei Mei repeated again. She held on to Rose tightly as her knees were starting to buckle.

They gave out and both siblings fell down slowly, landing on their knees but not letting go of each other.

Outside the door, four eavesdroppers felt their hearts calming down. Three were children and one was an adult and all of them had their ears pressed to the door.

"It’s over, mom is not angry anymore." Lian exhaled in relief.

Mingzhu looked at Lian with confused eyes. "Sister Lian, your mom has punished my mom. Do adults get punished too?"

Lian stood up straight and crossed her arms on her small chest. She was two inches taller than Mei Mei and now she was realizing that she was the older sister of them both.

"Of course, adults get punished when they misbehave, it is the family law." She pointed to herself and said, "Little sister Mei Mei, I am the big sister. If you misbehave in future, I will punish like that."

Mingzhu crossed her arms on her chest and replied, "This general is not afraid of a fight and I am the big sister."

"Who is out there?" Rose yelled.

The children and Jingzhe looked at each other with wide eyes and then they started to run before Rose and her slipper discovered them.
