Please stop imagining things, I'm such a good person

The Sixth Prince's Palace was in the inner city. Fang Hao sped all the way but was stopped at the city gate.

Fortunately, one of the Jinwu Guards knew him, the Earl of Xinxiang County, and they let him go.

There was chaos in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but there was no movement outside. Fang Hao thought that it must be covered by a formation.

But now is not the time to think about this, saving people is more important.

Fang Hao was happy to see Jin Shouyu suffer, but King Wu had gone too far today.

Even though he is Jin Shouyu's father, he cannot treat him like this.

Just as Jin Beibei said, those who deserved to be beaten had been beaten, and it would be inappropriate to do anything else at this moment.

But this was just him speaking up for his brother. They had a father and a son, so it was natural for the father to beat his son. No one could say anything about it.

The doorman went to report, and Fang Hao waited quietly outside the mansion. Considering that the skin and flesh of a sixth-level warrior like Jin Shouyu were tough, it would not be a big deal if he delayed a little longer.

Not long after, the housekeeper ran out in a hurry, "Greetings to the County Lord of Xinxiang, County Lord, please follow me!"

Fang Hao immediately followed and entered the mansion with the housekeeper.

What a scene that came into view...

Jin Shouyu had bandages on his body and plasters on his back. He jumped up and down with a bruised face and nose, and occasionally let out screams like ghosts and wolves.

The old and frail Jin Xiong chased closely with a horsewhip in his hand. His eyes were blazing as he waved the whip, but from his heavy breathing, it could be seen that he was not feeling relaxed at all.

When Jin Shouyu saw Fang Hao while fleeing, his eyes immediately lit up. He gave up the rockery and hid behind Fang Hao.

"Brother Fang, help me!"

Jin Xiong chased to Fang Hao with a gloomy face, but Fang Hao had a title after all, which made him restrained.

Of course, being restrained means not hitting Fang Hao all over the face.

But Fang Hao was definitely not polite in his words.

"Xinxiang County Earl, do you want to interfere in my family affairs?"

Fang Hao immediately cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Of course I wouldn't dare!"

Looking at the little bastard in front of him, Jin Xiong was so angry that his teeth were itching. The two people who ruined his reputation were his own rebellious son and Fang Hao in front of him.

Jin Xiong really wanted to whip the bastard without caring about anything so that he could feel his anger.

But he held back. Even if he was a prince, he couldn't whip a lord for no reason.

"If you don't dare, then get out of my way!"

Fang Hao said he didn't dare, but he didn't move. "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's just that Brother Jin's injury hasn't healed yet. If we continue to fight, it may damage his foundation."

Jin Xiong said angrily, "Why? Do I need you, the Earl of Xinxiang County, to teach my son?"

Jin Xiong emphasized the word "teaching" very seriously.

Fang Hao immediately bowed his hands, "Your Majesty's words are frightening. How can I teach you? Shouyu is also my brother. I wonder what he did to make you so angry?"

In fact, Fang Hao could guess it. It was nothing more than the rumors reaching his ears again, and he was taking out his anger on Jin Shouyu.

But he still had to ask. If he acted like he knew everything, wouldn't he be dragging himself into this?

It would have been fine if Fang Hao hadn't said this, but as soon as he said this, Jin Xiong couldn't help it and whipped him hard, as if he wanted to hit Fang Hao as well.

"Crack~"

Fang Hao caught the whip with his palm, feeling a slight pain in his palm. He was a little annoyed at the moment, but Jin Xiong was Jin Shouyu's biological father after all. For Jin Shouyu's sake, he couldn't say anything harsh and could only poke him with a neither soft nor hard force.

"Your Majesty, are you going to beat me too? If so, Hao, as a junior, should not fight back. I will go to the court tomorrow with the wounds from the whip to see His Majesty."

Fang Hao stared at Jin Xiong. What he said were just nice words. If Jin Xiong really wanted to attack him, he would not stand there stupidly and get beaten. Whoever wants to suffer such a loss can take it.

Jin Xiong glared at Jin Shouyu angrily, "It's all this rebellious son's fault!"

Fang Hao looked back, only to see Jin Shouyu running away without saying a word.

"???"

Fang Hao suddenly felt that this matter was not simple. If it was the same as before, why would he run away?

Looking at Jin Xiong's angry face, could it be that this guy has caused trouble again?

"Run? You dare to run!"

Jin Xiong shouted angrily, "Dou Zhan! Catch him back!"

A figure rushed out, grabbed Jin Shouyu by the back of the neck, and brought him back to Jin Xiong.

Fang Hao couldn't help but look at this person. He didn't have the cultivation level of the peak fourth level, but he had this extremely rare surname.

Jin Shouyu was like a defeated rooster, with his head hung, not daring to say anything.

"Crack~"

Jin Xiong whipped the ground with a whip, causing a loud bang.

"My reputation has been ruined by you, my traitor. Even now you still refuse to repent and are even worse!"

Jin Shouyu said weakly, "But father, you are not..."

"Shut up!"

Jin Xiong shouted, "How dare you, a rebellious son, quibble?"

Jin Shouyu admitted his mistake without hesitation, "Father, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!"

The more Fang Hao listened, the more curious he became. He still had no idea what had happened.

What outrageous thing did Jin Shouyu do to make Jin Xiong so furious?

Time goes back to half a day ago.

Jin Shouyu lay on the bed with his legs crossed, leisurely flipping through "Jade Feet Comic Strip Part 2". He hadn't been back to Shengdu for a while, and he didn't expect that there would be a sequel.

In this world, who doesn't want to be in a high position? Even the guards and servants are scheming against each other. This news is from a servant who wants to be in a high position, and he is offering it to the emperor in a way that pleases him.

Jin Shouyu was very satisfied with him and sent him to buy the books.

He was admiring the scene with great joy and had no idea that his father would come.

When the sound of the door being pushed open came, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a servant.

But he soon realized something was wrong, and the room was completely silent.

Jin Shouyu subconsciously raised his head and met Jin Xiong's eyes.

After beating Jin Shouyu, Jin Xiong's anger did subside, but the screams of his second son made the princess cry. When she mentioned her eldest son with tears in her eyes, Jin Xiong fell silent.

His eldest son died on the battlefield, and the pain of losing him still makes him feel heartbroken.

He began to reflect on himself, wondering if he had been too harsh and if he had hurt Shouyu's feelings.

After hesitating for some time, Jin Xiong decided to come and see him, but he didn't expect to see this scene when he entered the door.

Jin Xiong raised his eyebrows, thinking, I was overthinking it. This guy is heartless, how could he be sad!

Looking at the book in his hand again, Jin Xiong's nose was crooked with anger, "You rebellious son!"

Jin Shouyu raised the book in a panic, "Father, I have no other intentions. I just admire the painter's painting skills!"

Jin Xiong snorted angrily, "This damn collection of paintings has ruined my reputation, and you are still talking about appreciation? Are you really going to piss me off to death?!"

Seeing that his father did not come up and hit him, Jin Shouyu felt relieved and immediately said obediently, "Father, I have no evil intentions. It's just that the painter's skills are amazing. He can paint the woman's feet so vividly."

"Why bother with what those foolish women and men say? Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't appreciate this album?"

Seeing Jin Xiong's eyes twitching slightly, Jin Shouyu immediately said, "Of course, if father doesn't want me to, I will never look at it again. I will hand this collection over to you to destroy."

"I promise I won't touch it again!"

Jin Xiong was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed the collection of paintings. "No more books like this are allowed in your house! Shouyu, don't let your father down again!"

Jin Shouyu was like a good baby, "Don't worry, father!"

Jin Xiong shook his head and was about to push the door open, but after thinking for a moment, he put the painting album in his arms.

The king has no other ideas. These miscellaneous books must be destroyed. I am just holding on to this collection of paintings. If the servants see them, they may misunderstand. It is better to be careful!

Jin Xiong returned to the study with a stern face. He asked the maid to bring a brazier. He took out the picture album and was about to throw it into the brazier when he suddenly remembered Jin Shouyu's words.

"Amazing craftsmanship... so lifelike... what a pity..."

After hesitating for a long time, Jin Xiong finally turned to the first page with difficulty.

I have no other intentions. I just want to see what’s so great about the painter that the rebellious son flatters!

It was a hot summer day and there was a brazier in the room. Soon Jin Xiong was sweating all over, but he did not ask the maid to take the brazier away, because he had to burn the book after reading it!

After an incense stick of time, Jin Xiong finished reading and was about to throw the book into the brazier, but then he sat down again.

This painter is nothing special. Compared with those masters of painting, he is far inferior. Humph, I will find all the flaws! So that this person will know how poor his painting skills are!

What Jin Xiong didn't know was that the maid waiting outside the house was terrified.

It's so hot, but the prince asked for a brazier. It's been an incense stick, and there's still no movement inside...

She was the one who carried the brazier, so if anything happened, she would be to blame, but she didn't dare to disturb the prince.

Gritting her teeth, the maid ran off to find the princess.

......

As the door opened, a cool breeze instantly rushed in. Jin Xiong looked comfortable. When he looked up, he saw his wife with a worried look on her face.

He subconsciously hid the book under the table.

The couple looked at each other in silence.

The maid peeked outside the door and saw that the prince was fine, so she retracted her head.

Not long after, a quarrel broke out in the study and faint sounds were heard.

"It seems that the rumors are true..."

"No, this was seen by that rebellious son. I just confiscated it..."

"Jin Xiong, do you still act like a prince? You are even putting the blame on the guards..."

"No, let me explain..."

......
