The prince is very cruel

"This has caused Xiang'er to resent me since she was little. She refuses to talk to me. If I don't let her do something, she insists on doing it. I hope she can become a lady from a wealthy family, but she insists on wielding a spear and a stick. She's extremely rebellious."

"My negligence and irresponsibility have led to her current personality."

"I once thought about marrying her off, but she threatened to die in front of her mother's grave. I..."

As he spoke, a look of pain appeared on his face: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have strived so hard to get ahead."

"Decades have passed, and in the end, everything is empty!"

He covered his face with his hands and frowned, which was in stark contrast to his majestic image of holding military power and confronting Zhao Tai. At this moment, he seemed like just a frustrated and regretful middle-aged man.

Guan Ning sighed, so that's how it is.

He may be a good general and a good uncle, but he is not really a good father or a good husband.

But he didn't know what to say.

"Sima Yuan, perhaps it would be a good idea for you to put aside your official duties and try to mend your relationship with the young lady?"

Yuan Tao smiled bitterly: "Is it too late?"

"The best days to plant a tree are ten years ago and now," said Guan Ning.

Hearing this, Yuan Tao was startled and quite moved.

This philosophical sentence actually educated him. He gradually lowered his hands that were covering his face, and his eyes flashed.

"You, you're right!"

“Now is the best opportunity!”

Having said that, he was about to leave and take action.

Guan Ning stopped him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Wait a minute."

"Sima Yuan, you just hit the young lady. Going there now will only add fuel to the fire. Why don't you wait two days?"

"This……"

Yuan Tao stopped again, looking at a loss like a peasant father, completely devoid of the aura of Da Sima.

"makes sense……"

"Ok."

"By the way, Guan Ning, why did Xiang'er want to kill you just now?"

"Although she is unruly, she usually knows her limits. At most, she'll be a little domineering in her words, or at worst, she'll resort to violence against others, but she will never use weapons." Yuan Tao only remembered to ask at this time, looking very curious.

Guan Ning rubbed his temples helplessly and could only tell him everything about the encounter in Lu Jun.

After hearing this, Yuan Tao frowned.

"I see!"

"Ugh!"

"This girl, why is she so troublesome? Speaking of which, I am going to get angry again!"

Guan Ning was curious: "What's wrong?"

"You don't know that the young man you saved, Li Zhibao, is the legitimate son of Prince Ping!"

Guan Ning was shocked. Is he so powerful?

She dared to beat the prince's son like that?!

"Alas, it must be that I, the old man, and Prince Ping were chatting casually, and we talked about the two young people getting together more often, but we didn't mention any marriage at all. When the news got out, this girl couldn't sit still."

"If it weren't for you, she would have gotten into big trouble again by bringing people to ambush Prince Ping's legitimate son!" Yuan Tao gritted his teeth in anger, his image as a kind father was ruined again.

Guan Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, thinking that she seemed to have gotten into trouble. Li Zhibao was beaten badly that day, but he hesitated to speak and did not increase the intensity of Yuan Tao's attack.

"Forget it, let's just keep this rebellious girl under house arrest for a while!"

"Wait a while before going to see her!" Yuan Tao said angrily again.

Guan Ning didn't know what to say.

"Don't take what happened today to heart. I promise you, it won't happen again!" Yuan Tao suddenly apologized.

"Sima Yuan, you're exaggerating. It's not a big deal." Guan Ning said.

Yuan Tao nodded and frowned, saying, "In that case, you can make your own arrangements. You can move around my mansion as you please, but don't go out."

"That girl, I will put her under house arrest."

"I have military duties to attend to, so I can't accompany you."

Guan Ning nodded. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Da Sima, wait!"

"Anything else?" Yuan Tao asked.

Guan Ning said seriously: "Sir Yuan, there is indeed an important matter that I almost forgot."

"I have a companion, 1.9 meters tall and very burly, named Sheng Qi. He got lost on the way to escape, but I think he should have come to the vicinity of Zizhou as well."

"I wonder if Da Sima can help me find it?"

"It's really not convenient for me to show up right now. If you can find someone, please help me accept him."
