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

rebel? !

Zhao Ying looked at Nanny Li suddenly, and after making sure that she could not hear Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts, she turned pale and held the child over.

Yueer, what is she talking about?

Runlang wants to rebel?

Everyone in the court and the country knew that Runlang was the Crown Prince's confidant. With him, the Crown Prince was even more powerful. He had even blocked an arrow for the Crown Prince before...

Zhao Ying forced herself not to reveal any clues, but her fingers couldn't help shaking.

She asked Nanny Li to leave. This matter was too serious. If she was not careful, it could lead to the destruction of the entire family. She couldn't easily doubt the person beside her.

Besides, he is the father of her child...

Zhao Ying gently pinched Shangguan Qingyue's little face, wanting to tease her and say a few more words, but the noise in the front hall had already reached her.

Judging from the situation, Bai Lin has been beaten, right?

Sure enough, in my mind, the little guy's voice, with a hint of sympathy, [Second brother is so miserable, he was beaten even for telling the truth, he can't stand her, and secretly gave her laxatives, stupid! But it's true, he has such a personality, and he will die in the future because of this stubborn temper. ]

Zhao Ying didn't want to listen to the following thoughts.

A chill ran through my body.

For the first time in her life, she felt fear.

If it is true that the Shangguan family is rebelling, then their Zhao family is in real danger.

Because of the trust of the royal family, the power of the Zhenguo family has expanded to an unimaginable extent. Even if she asked her father to execute the entire Shangguan family, he would not be able to do so...

She realized her own stupidity only too late. How could she fully trust the loyalty of a powerful official?

As a princess, Zhao Ying was accustomed to big scenes. She quickly calmed herself down, forced a smile, and wiped the tears from Shangguan Qingyue's face with a silk handkerchief.

"Yue'er, would you like to go to the front hall with mother to watch the fun?"

Shangguan Qingyue felt that her mother was too rude to her and knew that she loved to watch the fun!

[It’s good to watch the fun! It’s good to watch the fun! ]

Shangguan Qingyue clapped her hands, her mouth almost stretched behind her ears.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying tapped the little guy's nose with her finger.

……

Even if there is a mistake, you should not be beaten in public!

This not only gave Huyan Xue enough face, but also made the eldest family unable to hold their heads up.

But Shangguan Shu didn't care!

No one can make his white moonlight's daughter angry!

The second and third wives thought it was natural, and since they followed Shangguan Shu's lead, they certainly wouldn't stop him. The old princess just wanted to use this opportunity to teach the bad-tempered Princess Chengqian a lesson, so of course she didn't stop him.

The second and third aunts were happy to watch the fun. Their eldest sister-in-law would sooner or later be buried in disgrace. She was the most noble woman in the Great Chu... Oh, wasn't she being played around by the entire Duke's Mansion?

Once the news of Shangguan Bailin being caned got out today, he would lose face greatly!

What a gifted child of heaven, what a talent that is unrivalled in the world, that’s all bullshit!

If he doesn't even respect his own father, who would take him seriously?

Shangguan Chengjing shook his head and looked at Shangguan Bailin in disapproval, "Second brother, you should remember this lesson!"

Shangguan Qingwan knelt on the ground, grabbed Shangguan Shu's robe, and pleaded for Shangguan Bailin.

"Daddy, please spare Bai Lin. He won't dare to do it again!"

"Wan'er is willing to take the punishment for Bai Lin!"

Shangguan Bailin's eyes were red as he was pressed on a chair. His childish voice echoed throughout the courtyard, "Big sister, you don't have to plead for me. Bailin can be punished today, and he can also die! But the laws of nature exist in the world and will never be destroyed! If we don't follow the rules and laws, won't we just let villains take over and cause chaos!"

Shangguan Qingwan: Brother, please stop talking...

Shangguan Chengjing said: "What is law? What is system? The law is nothing more than human reason. Princess Huai'an is kind to the world, and all the people are lucky. Princess Huyan should accept her kindness. Why not?"

Shangguan Bailin: "Huyan Xue is a foreigner, not of our race, so her heart must be different!"

Shangguan Qing'er was frightened, and Huyan Xue picked her up.

"Sister Xue, what does second brother mean? Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. I am not from the Shangguan family. Could it be that I also have different hearts?"

Hu Yanxue: "Of course I'm not talking about you, Second Aunt and Third Aunt. Your last name isn't Shangguan either. Could it be that you have an affair with someone else?"

The words just happened to reach the ears of the Second Aunt and the Third Aunt, and they glared at Shangguan Bailin. At first they were just watching the fun, but now they wished they could beat him a few more times!

Shangguan Qing'er echoed the sentiment, "I was overthinking it. Mother is not from the Shangguan family!"

Huyan Xue rubbed Shangguan Qing'er's head and smiled triumphantly.

Shangguan Qingwan realized that she and her second brother were isolated and had no help. Even if she called her mother, she would definitely blame her second brother because of her guilt towards Princess Huai'an.

Shangguan Shu put his hands behind his back and said, "Bai Lin, don't you admit your mistake?"

Shangguan Bailin smiled faintly, his small body hiding an unyielding soul.

"Father will punish me, justice is in the hearts of the people!"

Shangguan Shu smiled, and although he said punishment, there was a hint of satisfaction for his father in his eyes.

"If that's the case, you should be punished!"

Just as he finished speaking, a voice, neither loud nor soft, came from the darkness.

"Today's family dinner, it seems I missed the excitement..."

Zhao Ying walked over slowly, holding Shangguan Qingyue in her arms, and all the beautiful girls in the room were eclipsed.

Shangguan Shu's eyes moved.

When the old Duke saw the baby in Zhao Ying's arms, his face suddenly turned dark.

unlucky.

He didn't want to see this "monster" at all, so he turned his head away, feeling very annoyed.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a passing servant.

With a "Duang" sound, the servant was holding a wooden tray, and the old Duke's head hit the tray directly.

Suddenly everything went dark.

The servant quickly apologized.

The old Duke grimaced in pain. Old Huang, the housekeeper who had been with him for half his life, asked with concern, "Master, are you okay?"

The old Duke waved his hand, turned around and tried to avoid him.

As he turned around, he heard another "Duang" sound and Lao Huang closed his eyes unable to bear it.

The servant passing by on the other side was so frightened that he was speechless.

When everyone heard the sound, they looked over, and when they saw what had hit the object, they were stunned. How could it be such a coincidence that it hit the hot kettle?

No wonder I heard a squeaky sound...

Everyone came forward to greet him, and the old duke took his hands away, revealing two symmetrical bruises on his forehead, as if he had horns.

As the younger generations were all here, the old Duke couldn't get angry and could only endure the pain silently and pretend nothing happened.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shangguan Qingyue and became so angry that his fingers began to tremble.

It must be this girl who is unlucky for her!

That's why he is so unlucky!

Correct!

Master Yuanzhuang is right!

She is a monster!

Nothing good will happen if you meet her!

The old Duke's brows sank, "It's dark and the dew is heavy. If the child stays outside for too long, it will easily catch a cold. Your Highness should take the child back!"

Second Aunt: "Your Highness is in the inner courtyard accompanying the children, how come you have time to come out?"

Third Aunt: "Everyone knows that His Highness loves to join in the fun, but today is a pity, the fun is at home."

Shangguan Chengjing came over and said, "Mother, why are you here to join in the fun? Go back now!"

It was as if Zhao Ying was in the wrong and was ashamed to face the public.

Zhao Ying was too lazy to pay attention to her stupid son.

[Is this my elder brother? He looks very handsome, but a little silly and likes to listen to others.]

Who?

Who is speaking?

Shangguan Chengjing looked around and finally found his sister who was held in her mother's arms. At this moment, she was looking at him with interest.

Seeing him looking over, the little girl blinked mischievously, as if to say hello, but she didn't seem to know how to do it, her eyelids drooped as if she was sleepy and about to fall asleep...

Is this her voice?

Shangguan Chengjing was just doubting when the voice in his mind sounded again.

[But it doesn't matter, he won't be stupid for long, he will soon join the army and go to the battlefield, where he will be betrayed by his colleagues and die on the battlefield, with his body trampled to pieces by horses' hooves! ]
