Granny Zhong's words were somewhat vague, and in the end, Li Chenjiao only heard one sentence.

The quarreling among the children around the Second Prince disturbed the other children, and it's unclear who started the fight. In the chaos, the Fourth Prince was shoved. Naturally, the children couldn't stand idly by while the prince was being shoved.

Li Chenjiao frowned: "They've already made a move?"

Granny Zhong paused slightly: "Yes, both the prince and Haha Zhuzi have taken action."

Li Chenjiao straightened up, glanced inside, and said in a flat tone, "Then punish them all. It's cold, let the children go home first. We'll decide on the rest when Fourth Master and his wife return."

Li Chenjiao first announced the punishment, but then told the children to go home first. This was Li Chenjiao's attitude.

Those who lay a hand on someone should be punished, but this is not a matter that Li Chenjiao can decide on her own; everything still depends on the Fourth Prince and his wife to make the decision.

Moreover, this matter was mainly caused by Haha Zhuzi, who was by the Second Prince's side, so Li Chenjiao had even less reason to get involved.

Zhong Mama understood, bowed respectfully, and went into the inner room to give instructions.

"Have the maids and servants around the Second and Third Princes personally escort the princes back. Haha, the beaded girls are all kept here. Their meals will continue as usual. We'll wait for the master to return and make a decision."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince immediately ran back into Li Chenjiao's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Mother!"

This child isn't afraid at all of his two older brothers laughing at him.

Li Chenjiao's eyes changed slightly, and she gently pulled the Fourth Prince's hand: "Have you eaten? Come on, let's go back and have dinner together."

Where no one could see, Li Chenjiao squeezed the Fourth Prince's palm.

The fourth prince obediently replied, and the siblings went back to the east courtyard together.

Li Chenjiao stood up, returned the greetings to the Second Prince and the Third Prince, and then said to Granny Zhong, "It's getting late, so I'll head back now. Thank you for your trouble, Granny."

Granny Zhong bowed but didn't give her anything more. Right now, she still had to keep an eye on the few Haha beads, making sure there wasn't too much or too little.
