After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Hua Shang was frightened when he heard this, and wanted to beg, but Heng Luan stood in front of him, so he finally held back.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. A lady broke the silence and laughed, "This monk has talked so much, but he still hasn't produced any evidence to prove that this golden Buddha is yours!"

Everyone echoed, and Heng Luan's face began to look unsightly.

Zhao Ying suddenly slammed the table, and the banquet became quiet.

Zhao Ying looked at Heng Luan and Heng Lin and sneered, "Don't even mention that you can't find evidence to prove that this golden Buddha is yours. Even if it is, what does it matter?"

"This land belongs to the king. Everything in this world belongs to my Zhao family!"

"Who gave you the courage to snatch things from my daughter, Zhao Ying?"

"Someone! Take Master Hengluan and his apprentice, as well as Henglin, down and give them thirty lashes each. This will teach them a lesson and teach them the lesson of respect and inferiority!"

Heng Luan, Heng Lin, and Hua Shang were shocked when they heard this. The guards had already walked towards them. Heng Luan struggled and shouted angrily, "How dare you do this to me?! How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

Zhao Ying looked at Heng Luan in surprise and doubted her ears for a moment. She had never heard anyone say the word "insolent" to her... Zhao Ying couldn't help but look at Shangguan Shu, indicating with her eyes, where did you find this lunatic?

Shangguan Shu understood what she meant and spread his hands towards her.

Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at him, then called Shangguan Qingyue to her side and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, mother will protect you!"

Shangguan Qingyue held the golden Buddha and nodded obediently, which was rare.

Heng Luan, Heng Lin and Hua Shang were beaten with boards. All three of them gritted their teeth and endured it, without crying out in pain or begging for mercy.

Everyone watched with relief, thinking that this was the fate of someone who was so blinded by money, so shameless and committed treason!

Shangguan Qingwan felt a little reluctant to see Heng Lin being punished. She wanted to plead with Zhao Ying that Heng Lin was just an accomplice and the most hateful one was the monk. However, after thinking about it, she shut her mouth. Why should she make Yue'er unhappy because of a man?

In Shangguan Qingwan's heart, no one is more important than her family.

Shangguan Qingyue watched silently, his dark pupils unblinking, but after a while, his eyes turned red.

So this is what it feels like to be protected unconditionally by your parents...

Brothers, you were so happy in the past...

The thirty lashes were quickly completed.

Heng Luan and Hua Shang were thrown out, and Heng Lin was sent back to Guangming Palace by Zhao Ying. Before leaving, Zhao Ying warned Heng Lin that if he agreed with Shangguan Qingwan, she would spare his life, but if not...

This is the imperial power!

Heng Luan and Heng Lin now understood it thoroughly!

A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog...

The two great gods and Buddhas were beaten by a mortal princess.

What a shame!

The Second Ancestor hated it, but had no place to complain...

Heng Lin was lying in the side room. The young eunuch had already applied medicine to him. He closed his eyes and was deep in thought. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, but they did not show on his face.

Rather than being angry, he was more worried about Heng Luan's situation. They were now mortals. Heng Luan was beaten with a stick in the court and thrown onto the street with no one to treat him. What if he was seriously injured and could not be cured?

They were also thinking of killing the sixth brother and letting him return to his position, but the eldest brother died before the sixth brother returned to his position.

This time when I died, without my father’s planning and protection, I don’t know if I really perished in the chaos.

Just as Heng Lin was thinking, the door of the wing room opened. Heng Lin peeped in through a crack. Against the moonlight, the figure was just a young girl...

Heng Lin suddenly closed his eyes and sneered in his heart, he knew who it was.

Shangguan Qingwan.

He is just an ordinary ant who is still wet behind the ears, but he has such false thoughts that he shouldn't have!

Shangguan Qingwan came forward and asked softly, "Teacher, are you okay?"

There was no response for a long time.

Seeing Heng Lin ignored her, Shangguan Qingwan sighed, "You must be blaming me for not pleading for you... But what happened today was indeed your brother's fault. Who is my mother? No one in the world would humiliate her in public like this. There was a fool who got his retribution before, and his tongue was inexplicably cut off..."

"You are very lucky!" Shangguan Qingwan didn't say anything. Her father was even more ruthless. Her father had not taken action tonight, otherwise they might not have returned alive.

"My little sister is the apple of our family's eye. If you want to be safe in the future, remember not to make her unhappy again!"

Shangguan Qingwan felt that she was giving sincere advice, but Henglin felt so uncomfortable listening to it that he couldn't help but sneer.

"What are you laughing at, teacher?"

"fine."

Shangguan Qingwan's voice was soft and sweet, and it sounded even more pleasant in the quiet of the night. "Since the teacher is injured, you don't have to teach tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."

Heng Lin suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Shangguan Qingwan with his dark eyes, which made Shangguan Qingwan's heart beat irregularly. After a while, she saw him curl his lips and smile, and said in a light voice, "No need, I can..."

"Teacher, you don't have to force yourself..."

Heng Lin interrupted her, "Don't you want to learn painting from me tomorrow?"

Shangguan Qingwan was stunned for a moment, somewhat flattered, and subconsciously retorted, "No... no..."

"Then tomorrow as scheduled!"

Shangguan Qingwan pursed her lips, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, "Well, it's getting late, I'll go back first, see you tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Heng Lin said softly.

When Shangguan Qingwan closed the door before leaving, she smiled sweetly at Henglin. Henglin smiled back with a lazy look.

The door creaked shut.

The corners of Heng Lin's lips dropped suddenly, and his heavy breathing lengthened.

Outside the door, Shangguan Qingwan was jumping. Thinking of Heng Lin's handsome appearance, her face turned red and her smile grew wider.

Mother is right!

Men are born to be mean.

After a beating, Heng Lin became obedient.

He had never been so proactive and so nice to her before...

Shangguan Qingwan raised her eyebrows. The obedient teacher became even more charming!

……

Shangguan Qingyue crawled under the bed, pulled out a wooden box with great effort, then opened it and put the golden Buddha inside. Just as she was about to close it, she suddenly thought of something and took out the golden Buddha again.

[No, no, this is not safe! ]

[Third Brother knows that the golden body is with me, he must find a way to steal it! It’s hard to guard against it...]

The little guy sat down on the ground, leaning against the box, folding his arms, looking worried, [Where can I put it safely? ]

[And Third Senior Brother’s divine root…] Shangguan Qingyue reached into the box and grabbed a long, flickering rope in her palm.

Suddenly, Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up, and he punched with his fists together, "I figured it out!"

Shangguan Qingyue stood up, threw the long rope into the box, locked it, pushed it under the bed, and then walked out holding the golden statue, "Daddy, I want to leave the palace!"

An hour later, Shangguan Qingyue walked out of the largest pawnshop in the capital and stuffed the pawn ticket into his small pocket.

[Hehe, if you want your golden body back, go and redeem it yourself! ]

[Fifty thousand taels... Can you come up with five taels of silver, Senior Brother? ]

Shangguan Qingyue raised his chin proudly.

Behind him, Shangguan Shu had a smile on his face and looked at the little girl in front of him lovingly.
