Chapter 586: When children make mistakes, the ones who should be punished are the adults who fail to
They can't believe it.
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong came out and said solemnly, "I can guarantee that what Princess Li said is feasible!"
"I am a leisurely prince, so I have plenty of free time. If you have any grievances, please feel free to come to Prince Yong's Mansion! As long as the truth is revealed, I will seek justice for you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people started to discuss it heatedly. Some people even ran away quietly from the back of the crowd, as if they wanted to tell the news to someone in need.
Xu Chengchang looked at this scene with an extremely grim expression. If Prince Li and Prince Yong were really involved, then all his past deeds...
Xu Zheng had a cold face and his eyes were full of malice.
He knew that if this matter was carried out, his official position and reputation would be greatly affected.
Although he hated the boss Cheng Chang, it didn't mean that he was unaware of what he did.
How many people who do business are honest? It is precisely because he knows this that he becomes more disgusted and disgusted with him.
But after all, he was his own son. He couldn't pull the cow back, so he could only protect him and keep him safe as he moved forward.
But if Prince Yong and Prince Li intervened, thinking about the fate of Duke Zheng's family at the banquet yesterday, he suddenly felt cold and his heart trembled uncontrollably.
Is it possible that their Xu family will follow in the footsteps of the Zheng family?
"grandfather……"
Xu Tianxiong, who was eight or nine years old, was so scared that his face turned pale. He seemed to know that he was in big trouble.
Xu Zheng looked at him, a struggle flashing across his face.
He usually likes this eldest grandson very much, because he is not like his father, who is full of the smell of money. Even though he knows that merchants are the lowest class of people, he still insists on doing business despite his father's opposition!
This grandson has been smart and loves reading since he was young. He could recite "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and "Rules for Disciples" when he was three or four years old.
He could see that this was a good seedling, and with his connections and resources, it would not be impossible for him to become the prime minister in the future!
But he was spoiled by his bastard father, which led to such a big disaster today.
A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and determination appeared on his face. He immediately pulled Xu Tianxiong up.
He grabbed the scabbard on the ground and hit him hard on the back: "Asshole, you are blind, you even dare to offend an honorable person!!"
"Dad!" Xu Chengchang's eyes turned red and he immediately protected Xu Tianxiong.
Suddenly, the half-grown child felt a burning pain in his back, as if it were on fire. The pain, like needles pricking him, slowly ran through his flesh, gradually intensifying.
The pain was unbearable for him, and he cried out "Wow!"
But even so, Xu Zheng was not going to give up and continued to fight with the scabbard in hand.
Shu He's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Master Xu! If you want to teach the child a lesson, go home and teach him! You beat the child in front of the Third Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Yong, and others. Do you want people to think that you nobles are pestering a child?"
"When children make mistakes, the ones who should be punished are the adults who failed to teach them well!"
"I hope Master Xu understands what I mean! Stop using a child to gain sympathy and act pitiful!"
After saying this, he didn't care about Xu Zheng's expression and directly said to Baili Ruyun and others, "Third Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Yong, let's take the child away quickly! Otherwise, if we're not careful, we might be branded as unkind and disregarding human life!"
Xu Zheng's face turned pale, and every time he wanted to speak, he was blocked by Shu He.
Baili Ruyun stared at Xu Zheng, a hint of sarcasm on her face. "In the past, I thought Lord Xu was a kind and benevolent official. I didn't expect that his scheming is no less than that of the woman struggling to survive in the backyard!"
"Today, this princess has truly opened her eyes!"
After saying this, without waiting for Xu Zheng to "quibble", she pulled Baili Ziyuan towards the carriage.
Prince Yong, Princess Yong, and Shu He also turned around and left, each holding a child.
Baili Ziyuan walked up to a kneeling old woman and suddenly stopped. She let go of the third princess's hand and went to help the old woman.
"Auntie, please get up quickly! I told you we can protect you!"
The old lady looked up at her tremblingly, with panic and excitement in her eyes.
"From now on, you don't have to be afraid of them. If anyone bullies you again, go to the Third Princess's Mansion to find me, or go to Prince Yong's Mansion to find Ziyi. If that doesn't work, go to Prince Li's Mansion to find Sister Yi'er!"
"My sister Yi'er is amazing! She's so small, yet she can injure someone this big. She'll definitely be able to protect you too!"
The old woman looked at her, her eyes blurred with tears. "Thank you so much, my lady the county lady! Thank you so much, my lady the princess and all the distinguished guests!!"
This was her first time to have such close contact with such a distinguished person, and such a kind one at that!
It was also the first time that she felt that in this apocalypse, not everyone in a high position was bad!
Baili Ruyun looked at Ziyuan with satisfaction, feeling extremely relieved.
After everyone returned to Prince Li's mansion, it was already dark.
Nanqi immediately asked Zhang Bo and others to set the meal, and then stood outside the hall waiting.
Several children were chattering non-stop around a wounded little fox.
Although Baili Zile felt sad for a while because of the little rabbit's departure, all the sadness in her heart disappeared after Baili Ziyuan gave her the little fox.
Baili Ruyun and Prince Yong and his wife raised their glasses and toasted Shu He together.
"I never thought Sister He was so smart. She didn't suffer any loss in the face of that old fox Xu Zheng. She even planted a major hidden danger for the Xu family! I bet that old fox won't be able to sleep today!"
Baili Ruyun couldn't help but feel happy when she thought of Xu Zheng's ugly face.
"That's right. I was so pissed off by Xu Zheng at the time that my mind went blank. I just felt so aggrieved! After Sister He said that, I instantly understood!"
"This Xu Zheng is so insidious!"
Prince Yong also said, "I haven't been involved in court affairs for many years, but I have always heard that General Xu was fair and strict, and dedicated to his duties. I never thought that the Xu family would be like this!"
Xu Si Nian glanced at Prince Yong and said, "If Your Highness could pay more attention to government affairs, Xu Zheng wouldn't look down on our Prince Yong's Mansion so much!"
Baili Moshen didn't say anything. There were some things that he knew very well in his heart, but he just couldn't say them openly.
Seeing this, Shu He said, "Third Princess, Princess Consort, what happened today is truly Yi'er's fault. If Yi'er hadn't taken the children out, this wouldn't have happened."
"I'm truly sorry for putting the children in such danger. This glass of wine is Shu He's apology to everyone!"
After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp, leaving not a drop behind, to show her sincerity.
