When he arrived at the Buddhist temple, he burned incense and kowtowed obediently, and was extremely pious.

After the prayers were over, Lin Yiwan told the two brothers, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go find the abbot to donate some money and rescue him soon!"

Zhan Xuan waved his hand at her: "Don't worry, mother, we will keep it well, I will protect big brother!"

After saying that, he grabbed a small, dark stick hidden in his sleeve!

That was a mechanical stick specially made for him by Zhan Yan. It was retractable, small and practical.

Lin Yiwan turned around and left quickly, and Zhan Xuan could no longer stay.

He reached out and tugged at Zhan Mu's clothes: "Brother, I heard from Xiaoshu before that there is a nest of monkeys in the mountain behind the Buddhist temple. Shall we go and take a look?"

Zhan Mu frowned and reminded: "Didn't mother say that we are not allowed to run around? If she comes back and can't find us, how anxious will she be?"

Zhan Xuan snorted coldly: "Why are you so timid? We are just going over there to take a look. How much time can it take?"

Zhan Mu frowned and still refused.

Zhan Xuan clapped his hands irritably: "Since you're not going, then I have to go and open my eyes. I've never seen a monkey since I was a child. You wait for me to come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Zhan Mu was worried and quickly chased after him.

The two men came to the back mountain, but not only did they not see any monkeys, they didn't even see any rare small animals.

Zhan Xuan stamped his feet in anger: "Brother, Xiaoshu is so mean. He actually lied to me. This back mountain is nothing but grass and trees. Where can there be any monkeys?"

Before Zhan Mu could say anything, he suddenly held his head and screamed in pain: "Who? Who is hitting me?"

Zhan Mu subconsciously looked up and immediately found a little monkey holding a lot of green apricots, smashing them hard on the heads of the two men.

Zhan Xuan howled angrily, "Stinky monkey, come on, get down here! If you're brave enough, come and fight me. What kind of skill is it to hide in the dark and hurt someone?"

The little monkey was very naughty and hit him on the head with the green apricots.

Seeing that he was about to cry in pain, Zhan Mu quickly advised: "Brother, don't bother with it. Mother will definitely get angry when we are waiting. Let's go quickly!"

Zhan Xuan was stubborn. He gritted his teeth and roared, "No, I must catch it!"

After saying that, he jumped up and climbed towards the tall tree.

He was extremely agile and in just a moment, he was very close to the little monkey.

He smiled cunningly: "You stinky monkey, let's see where you can escape!"

He grabbed it with all his strength, but it was empty.

The monkey had already run to another tall tree and was making a smug face at him.

Zhan Xuan was so angry that he punched the tree: "Stinky monkey, how dare you challenge me!"

Zhan Mu was extremely worried. He stood under the tree and shouted, "Brother, come down quickly! It's very dangerous!"

Zhan Xuan turned a deaf ear and continued to chase the monkey on the branches.

He was running on top, and Zhan Mu was chasing him from behind, gradually getting farther and farther away from the imperial temple.

In the end, Zhan Xuan failed to catch the monkey and he fell into the stream.

Zhan Mu was so scared that his face turned pale. He raised his hand and slapped him hard on the butt.

He shouted coldly, "You little bastard, didn't you hear me calling you the whole time? If you get thrown to death, how am I going to explain this to my mother?"

Zhan Xuan was shocked. He had never seen his brother so angry.

In his impression, his elder brother has always been steady.

Even when danger came, he remained calm and unconcerned.

But now, he was filled with anger.

He could only carefully explain: "I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again. Can you please forgive me this time?"

Zhan Mu snorted coldly and reached out to pull him out of the stream.

At this time, an anxious cry came from not far away: "Dabao and Erbao!"

Zhan Mu's expression suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "It's mother, she actually came here!"

After saying that, he glared at Zhan Xuan with resentment: "It's all your fault. You made mother worry about us!"

Zhan Xuan shrank his shoulders guiltily and quickly responded, "Mother, we are here!"

Lin Yiwan hurried over, followed by several little monks.

She asked worriedly, "Why are you two here? Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"

Zhan Xuan hesitated and said, "It's my fault. I wanted to come to the back mountain to see the little monkey, but it actually took a green apricot and threw it at me and my brother. I chased it and ended up here!"

Lin Yiwan saw how miserable he was, but she didn't want to scold him in front of others.

She had no choice but to say, "Let's go home first!"

As soon as they got on the carriage, Lin Yiwan quickly took off his wet clothes.

Zhan Xuan was still a little shy, he shrank his body and said: "Mom, I can ask my elder brother to help me change it!"

Zhan Mu sat next to him with a look of disgust on his face: "I'm too lazy to touch you!"

Zhan Xuan said, "Hey, big brother, you are being unkind. I went to catch the monkey, didn't I also want revenge? He hit us on the head with a green apricot, didn't you feel pain?"

Zhan Mu raised his eyebrows: "Did you catch it?"

Zhan Xuan pursed his lips awkwardly: "No, he ran too fast and disappeared in an instant!"

Seeing her youngest son so frustrated, Lin Yiwan couldn't help but laugh. "You deserve this lesson! Those little monkeys in the hills behind the Imperial Temple are incredibly clever. They run so fast that you can't catch them. Even if your father comes back, he might not be able to catch them!"

Zhan Xuan was shocked when he heard this: "So there's really no way to deal with them?"

Lin Yiwan interrupted ruthlessly: "Apart from people like you who hate dogs, who would have the time to mess with them?"

Zhan Xuan was choked and dared not say another word.

But when he saw the carriage stop at the gate of an unfamiliar house, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Mother, didn't you say we were visiting someone else's house? Where is this?"

Lin Yiwan leaned over to his ear and said, "This is our home. We're going to stay here for the night!"

Zhan Xuan was silent for a moment before his expression changed drastically. He said anxiously, "Mother, are you keeping a lover outside? You took advantage of my father's absence in the capital to start a family with someone else?"

Lin Yiwan was almost furious at his words. She had raised such a good son, but he actually accused her of having an extramarital affair!

Zhan Mu obviously didn't expect his stupid brother to say such shocking things. He interrupted him immediately: "Brother, stop talking nonsense. What's with the idea of ​​raising a concubine? You're throwing dirty water on our mother for no reason!"

Zhan Xuan glared at him with red eyes: "Brother, you don't know, Xiaoshu's father has a concubine outside. At that time, Xiaoshu was wondering why his father didn't return home and went to other people's yards. Later, his mother went to find him and found out that it was a concubine outside. She also had children who wanted to compete with him for the position of prince and the family property!"

Zhan Mu was stunned for a moment. He only knew that Wang Jianshu was Zhan Xuan's little follower, and he didn't know that such a change had happened in his family.

This was also the first time that Lin Yiwan heard about the things happening in the inner quarters of Weiyuan Marquis's mansion. No wonder Zhan Xuan was so sensitive. It turned out that he was afraid that she and Weiyuan Marquis would keep mistresses outside.
