"Woooooooo..."

"Father...I want Father..."

Princess Jiayue wept incessantly.

Seeing that no one responded, the little girl who had been sitting down lay down on the ground.

They started acting like scoundrels.

This trick of hers always worked in front of her parents and grandmother.

Little Miaomiao ran over, squatted down in front of her, and stuck her tongue out at her.

With a look of disgust, she said, "How embarrassing! How old are you, still rolling around on the ground..."

Cao Jiayue had never been humiliated like this before.

With all her might, she shoved the person away, saying in a fierce yet childish voice, "Get out of here, you dog slave!"

Pushed by her, Jiang Miaomiao immediately fell backward.

I fell right onto the edge of the pool; if I took another step back, I would have fallen in...

At the critical moment, the two sons of the Jiang family rushed over.

With agility, Jiang Zifeng scooped up his sister.

He pulled her into his arms, gently patted her back, and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, brother's here, don't be afraid..."

Jiang Ziyan took it and comforted him again.

My little sister was really frightened. Her little mouth was pouting, and her eyes were full of tears. She looked like she was about to cry but couldn't.

It makes one feel a pang of sadness.

Seeing the little girl's tears streaming down her face, Princess Rong'an quickly took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe them away.

While wiping her face, she coaxed, "Miaomiao, don't cry, don't cry. Sister will buy you candy, candied hawthorns, and sugar figurines..."

She listed all the sweets, and the little one finally stopped crying.

She discovered that the little one loved sweets, but her mother wouldn't let her have them.

Actually, the little one is very easy to coax.

King Jing sized up the three siblings.

I wanted to go up and pinch the little guy's rosy cheeks.

Still held back.

The little girl was very pretty, and now she's even prettier, more well-behaved, and cuter than in the painting; she's even more lively than in the picture.

He had held the little girl when she was just a few months old.

In the blink of an eye, they're already asking for candy!

After returning to Beijing, he made a special trip to see Jiang Yunze.

That person indeed possessed a handsome appearance, with a gentle, refined, and understated beauty.

But inner beauty is not as good as outer beauty.

Look at these three siblings again. The eldest looks like Madam Lu, the second looks like Jiang Yunze, but the little one...

Upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem to resemble anyone.

It probably hasn't fully developed yet.

My older sister often says the same thing about Jia Yue...

Granny Yan was indignant to see her master staring blankly at the little girl, completely ignoring his niece who was wailing on the ground.

Even so, she dared not say a word.

The young master has just offended Princess Rong'an and will likely be punished.

The strictness of Prince Jing and Princess Yuqing differed.

Princess Yuqing is just all talk; she only needs to yell a couple of times before it's over. But the prince will actually beat the little princess.

Before Prince Jing could even question her, she stepped forward and knelt down with a thud. "Your Highness, please forgive me. The young princess only got into a fight because she saw someone trying to sneak into the residence. I never imagined that the flood would wash away the Dragon King's temple, and I didn't even recognize Princess Rong'an. It was all a misunderstanding..."

"What a misunderstanding!" Princess Rong'an was displeased upon hearing this.

"I remember you just said you were going to report it to the authorities. Cao Jiayue even wanted Miaomiao to be her maid. As her wet nurse, you not only didn't try to stop her, but you even encouraged your mistress. You deserve to be punished!"

She was genuinely angry.

That little brat Cao Jiayue not only tore up her kite, but also wanted to make Xiao Miaomiao her servant. What a dream!

Just then, Princess Liang arrived.

Seeing her daughter standing there unharmed, she walked over to the little girl who was sobbing. "What's wrong with Miaomiao?"

"Auntie..."

That soft, sweet voice melted the heart of Princess Liang.

She scooped the little girl up in her arms and wiped away her tears. "Tell Auntie, who bullied you?"

The girl is naturally lively and cheerful, and I've never seen her cry like this in the months I've known her.

Even when she was punished by her mother with a ruler, she would just hold back her tears and pout, remaining silent.

Jiang Miaomiao pointed at Cao Jiayue on the ground and choked up, "She wanted me to be a servant, to eat swill, and to bring her water to wash her feet..."

That's an understatement. Maids who weren't favored by their masters were beaten every day, and their food was practically like pig swill.

The Jiang brothers' brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly.

Princess Rong'an was taken aback at first, then chimed in, "Mother, Jia Yue wants Miao Miao to sell herself into slavery..."

Princess Liang's face darkened as she coldly stared at Cao Jiayue on the ground, then glanced at the round-faced woman beside her.

She had only met Jia Yue once or twice, when she was still a baby, and didn't have much of an impression of her.

He was a premature baby.

Yuqing was born less than ten months after marrying Cao Fuma. She was frail and was pampered and raised in the palm of his hand.

I heard she has a very willful and domineering personality, and even Yuqing can't do anything about her.

In retrospect, the instigation of the maids and servants must have played a significant role in this.

A child is born like a blank sheet of paper; what color that blank sheet becomes depends entirely on how the people around them teach them.

The reason she kept Fu Yi by her side and carefully raised him, instead of leaving him to maids and servants, was that she did not want him to be as tyrannical as the Prince of Liang.

Therefore, immediately after the Prince of Liang lost power, she dealt with Granny Wu.

The way King Liang grew up was largely due to the influence of his wet nurse.

Today, she saw the shadow of Granny Wu in this woman again.

She looked at Prince Jing and said, "Fifth Prince, it's not that I'm trying to protect my daughter, but Jia Yue is indeed unruly. Even if she is a princess, she can't bully others. If she's young and doesn't know any better, what will she be like when she grows up? How can the people around her be so indulgent?"

"Yes, Aunt is absolutely right. It was my negligence. I shouldn't have let him get away with it... He should be punished!"

Prince Jing repeatedly apologized, and after speaking to Princess Liang, he bowed to Princess Rong'an.

"Little aunt, don't be angry. I will have someone make you an even more exquisite kite right away."

“No need. This kite was a gift from someone, and even if I remake it, it won’t be the same as before.” Princess Rong’an frowned as she looked at the flower butterfly that had been reduced to pieces on the ground.

King Jing chuckled and said, "Alright then, Auntie, just tell me when you want it... As for Jia Yue..."

He was angry but not furious. He glanced at Granny Yan and said coldly, "Take her away and give her twenty lashes. She doesn't need to serve the princess until she's healed."

Granny Yan collapsed to the ground, staring at Prince Jing in terror.

He immediately knelt down and pleaded with Cao Jiayue, "Princess, save me... save me!"

After twenty strokes of the cane, she'll probably be bedridden for quite some time.

She was already very uneasy when she came to Jiangzhou alone with the young princess and Prince Jing.

Princess Pian sent them here without even informing her husband, giving her no chance to tip them off.

Cao Jiayue was also a little flustered. With tears in her eyes, she grabbed Prince Jing's sleeve and stared at him expectantly.

"Uncle, Jiayue won't do it again, please don't hit the nanny... please don't hit her..."

When King Jing saw her pitiful appearance, he felt a little soft-hearted, but he was not his elder sister.

They say that you can't live up to someone's expectations, and he now understood the meaning of that saying.

He said sternly, "Shi Shu, go and get the ruler."

Seeing this, Princess Liang quietly left with all the children, big and small.

If even a well-behaved and sensible child like Xiao Miaomiao gets beaten, how much more so would the unruly Cao Jiayue?

This child needs to be disciplined.
