Prince Ren's Palace, main hall.

The guards sent out to the palace have returned.

Wen Hui was delighted at first, then stood up and stretched her neck to look behind the guards. Seeing no one, her joy faded and she frowned and asked, "Didn't you find the Fifth Young Master?"

Thinking of something, she said without waiting for the guard to reply, "Quick, go look for it in the various gambling houses."

The guard clasped his fists and replied, "Reporting to the princess, the Crown Prince's wife has returned with the fifth young master."

Wenhui was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, Shang Tingli walked in from outside, holding a young boy in one hand.

Shang Tingli let go of the two children, thought for a moment, bowed to Wenhui, and called out, "Mother."

"Ali, what are you doing..."

When Wen Hui saw that Ke Yi was still alive, she ignored him. Instead, she stared blankly at Shang Tingli who was wearing a round-necked robe, wondering why her well-behaved daughter-in-law was dressed like a man.

Shang Tingli said briefly, "My daughter-in-law went out shopping today. When she came out of the Food Pavilion, she saw Xiaowu entering Laiyunfang. In order to get in and bring him back, she had no choice but to resort to this last resort."

Wen Hui held her hand and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's my job, not hard." Shang Tingli smiled obediently, "Mother, can I go back and change my clothes first?"

Wen Hui smiled gently, nodded and said softly, "Go."

The two children followed Wenhui and watched Shang Tingli leave. Zhao Chengzhi pulled Ke Yi's sleeve and whispered, "Wow, she is your eldest brother's wife? No wonder I have never seen her."

Ke Yi groaned in a depressed tone, raised his head and sighed, he was finished.

Wen Hui glanced expressionlessly at the two heads leaning against each other and whispering, and ordered the guards, "Go and inform the wife of the censor that their sixth young master is now in our house."

"Yes." The guard turned around.

Ke Yi scratched his ear and said at the right time: "Mother, sister-in-law has sent someone to Zhao Xiaoliu's house."

Wen Hui didn't look at him, but told Bai Shao, the head maid in her courtyard, "Go tell the princess that the fifth young master is back, so that she won't worry."

Ling Yun originally wanted to stay and wait for the result with her, but she drove him back to his own courtyard.

"Yes." Bai Shao bent her knees and left the main hall.

Nanny Wen at the side asked, "Should we send someone to look for the prince?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Yi's heart leapt up and he pricked up his ears, waiting for his mother's answer.

Wen Hui paused and said, "No need."

Nanny Wen fell silent.

Ke Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he almost got into mixed doubles.

Wen Hui then looked at Ke Yi with a stern face: "You sneaked through a dog hole to skip school and go to the gambling house? Have you become more capable? Who taught you this bad habit?"

"..."

Ke Yi didn't dare to say a word, Zhao Chengzhi buried his head even lower than him.

Wenhui looked unhappy.

God knows how shocked she was when she heard the news that her youngest son had skipped school just as she had just returned home from Chunchibin with her daughter. Although the boy had never liked studying before, he had never skipped school.

Today, she opened her eyes.

Fortunately, the relationship between Lingyun and the boy from the He family went smoothly. The two families have exchanged tokens and formally signed the engagement. Otherwise, how could she have worried about it?

Thinking of the Crown Princess's thoughts, Wen Hui's face became solemn. It was really going to come true. She glanced at Ke Yi. She didn't expect that he had really developed such a bad habit. If she found out too late, she couldn't imagine the consequences.

A boy who was less than ten years old was beaten to death with a stick. How painful must it be?

Thinking of this, Wen Hui became angry and said angrily, "Kneel down."

Ke Yi didn't dare to say a word. He knelt quickly with his back straight.

Zhao Chengzhi was startled. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Ke Yi and then at Wen Hui. He subconsciously wanted to kneel down as well. As he knelt slowly, he asked, "Should I kneel too?" His voice trembled slightly.

Ke Yi: “…”

Wen Hui glanced at Zhao Chengzhi and said, "Kneel down."

"Okay." Zhao Chengzhi, who had been slow and clumsy in his movements, knelt down all of a sudden.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The doorman came to report: "Princess, the Second Prince, Censor Zhao, and Madam Zhao are here."

"please come in."

"Yes."

After a while, three figures walked in from outside.

"Aunt Wang is well."

"I've met the princess."

The three of them said in unison.

"Second Prince, Lord Zhao, Madam Zhao." Wen Hui greeted them with a smile and told Nanny Wen, "Mammy, serve the tea."

Nanny Wen: "Yes, Princess."

While they were greeting each other, Zhao Chengzhi moved his knees twice and whispered in Ke Yi's ear, "Next time, let's not skip school. Let's go on a day off. We will definitely not get caught again."

Ke Yi's forehead throbbed: "You still want to gamble?"

Zhao Chengzhi nodded as a matter of course: "Of course I will go, it's so much fun, much more interesting than studying."

"..."

Ke Yi quietly moved away, thinking, don't kill him.

"Why are you kneeling on the ground for no reason?"

Seeing Zhao Chengzhi kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Zhao felt extremely distressed. She quickly walked over to pick him up, held him in her arms and carefully brushed the dust off his knees.

Seeing this, Wenhui just frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Shang Tingli, who had dressed up again, and Ke Xin, who had just returned home from outside, happened to meet outside the main hall and entered the main hall together.

When Ke Xin came back, he had already heard the whole story.

After another round of polite greetings.

Ke Rui said, "Aunt Wang, I heard that these are Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu that Xing Chen's wife brought back from the gambling house. What's going on?"

Shang Tingli heard the voice and looked over.

The young man was wearing a round-necked brocade robe of Jingyuan style. He sat upright in his seat with a neutral expression, a strong and handsome look.

[I have to say that the royal family members all have good looks. The Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Second Prince in front of him, and the stupid Crown Prince next to him. This Crown Prince is the most handsome. Oh, what a pity, the most beautiful one is also the stupidest. ]

Ke Xin reached out and grabbed the armrest of the chair. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging and he thought the armrest might be broken.

Madam Zhao looked at Shang Tingli and smiled obscurely: "Why would the Crown Prince's Consort go to the gambling house? If it wasn't the first day, how could she get in?"

Wen Hui smiled and glanced at Zhao Chengzhi: "I have to ask your son, why is he skipping school and going to the gambling house at such a young age instead of studying hard in school?"

After she retorted, she continued, "If the Crown Prince's wife hadn't happened to see them today, we don't know how they got back today. They might have lost some limbs. Madam Zhao, wouldn't she be heartbroken?"

"After all, after kneeling for a while, Madam Zhao felt very distressed." Wenhui chuckled and glanced playfully at Zhao Chengzhi in Madam Zhao's arms.

"...Who knows if it was really a coincidence, or if there is some other hidden story? After all, we didn't see it with our own eyes." Mrs. Zhao didn't want to say more to Wenhui, but she glanced at Shang Tingli meaningfully.

Shang Tingli was speechless and curled the corner of his mouth slightly.

[You only pick on the weak ones? If you can't pinch the Crown Prince's mother, why do you try to pinch the Crown Prince's wife? 】

Wen Hui's eyes turned cold: "Madam Zhao, there are some things that cannot be said carelessly. People of our age should also know that disaster comes from the mouth."
