"Anything else?"

"besides?"

"And I shouldn't have abandoned the people of Sanglin Village and the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture..."

"Um!"

"You've really grasped the point of your mistakes!"

"Besides these, what else?"

"besides?"

Li Jue was on the verge of collapse upon hearing this. He had just made up those two charges himself; where was he supposed to find a charge against himself?

However, just as Li Jue was pondering, he felt another sharp pain in his buttocks.

"Grandpa, have mercy... Waaah..."

When Li Shimin heard that his grandson was finally willing to call him "Grandpa," a cunning smile appeared on his face.

"Keep going, what exactly did you do wrong!"

"I...I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye..."

"continue!"

"That's not right. I wrote you a letter, so it doesn't count as leaving without saying goodbye!"

"Then that one doesn't count. Think of another one!"

"ah?"

Li Jue wanted to slap himself when he heard this. Why was he so rude? He finally got a reason and ruined it!

Just as Li Jue was racking his brains trying to figure out what mistake he had made, he heard three crisp "slap slap slap" sounds, followed by another sharp pain in his buttocks.

"Stop, stop, stop..."

"Grandpa, please stop hitting me! I really know I was wrong, sob sob sob..."

What did you do wrong?

"You tell me where I went wrong, and that's exactly where I went wrong!"

Li Jue finally understood that the old man was just looking for trouble and deliberately picking a fight to beat him up!

Li Shimin snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"You're just leaving like this? Do you think you've lived up to my expectations of you?"

"Do you think you're worthy of your aunt's love and care?"

"Your aunt, with her frail health, risked her life and traveled thousands of miles to bring you back from the Western Turks..."

"Did you think about your aunt when you ran away?"

"I……"

Li Jue harbored considerable resentment, but when he heard Li Shimin bring up his aunt, he immediately lowered his head in shame.

Just as Li Er said, if his aunt were to suffer any mishap on the way, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Grandpa, I was wrong..."

"You really know you were wrong?"

"Um!"

What will we do then?

"You should take good care of your aunt from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin angrily slapped himself three times and cursed in a fit of rage.

"Where is I?!"

"Am I not worthy of your filial piety?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue turned around with difficulty to look at Li Er.

"Your Majesty, you have so many sons and daughters, how could it be my turn to fulfill my filial duties..."
