"Moreover, your grandfather's original intention in coming here this time was not to check your homework, but to explain the contents of the Analects to you."

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue's resentment lessened somewhat, but the thought that he had almost been beaten to death by that old man Li still left him with considerable resentment.

Seeing that Li Jue's attitude had softened, Xu Hui knew that he had taken her words to heart, and immediately spoke up again to explain on behalf of Li Shimin.

"You don't know, your grandfather was busy fighting battles all over the place when he was young, and he didn't have time to study at all."

"In order to be able to explain the Analects to you well, he consulted many people and wrote tens of thousands of words of annotations on the Analects alone."

"Think about it, your grandfather has done so much for you, but you've completely forgotten the homework he assigned. How could he not be angry?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue felt no resentment left, only deep shame.

"Did he really consult a lot of people?"

"Did he really write tens of thousands of words of annotations?"

"certainly!"

"You can see for yourself in a bit if you don't believe me!"

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue could no longer remain lying down and immediately tried to get up to apologize to Old Li. But as soon as he arched his back like an insect, he immediately felt a tearing pain in his buttocks.

However, the pain wasn't the worst part; what terrified him most was discovering that he was completely naked!

"Where are my... my clothes?!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hui chuckled softly.

"Young Master Zhong's clothes were soaked with sweat after being beaten, and I have already taken them off for you on my master's orders..."

"you?"

"You're a woman, how dare you take my clothes off!"

"You...you shameless..."

Li Jue, filled with shame, pulled the blanket over himself and covered himself completely. Now, all he wanted was to find a rope and hang himself.

How embarrassing!

Not only did I get spanked, but I was also completely exposed!

How am I supposed to face anyone after this? Waaaaah...

Seeing this, Xu Hui couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"well!"

"How old are you? Why are you making such a fuss!"

"Come on, lift the blanket. The doctor said the wound can't be covered with a blanket; it needs to be kept open and airy..."

"No!"

"Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Just as the two were at an impasse, Li Shimin walked in carrying a bowl of medicinal soup.

"Xu Hui, give this bowl of medicine to the child..."

Before Xu Hui could agree, Li Jue started shouting.

"Uncle Li, make him leave! I don't want to see her!"

"If she's inside, I'd rather die than come out!"

Li Shimin was quite surprised to hear this. Just a moment ago, this grandson was acting as if he were his mortal enemy. How come after such a short time, the child is calling him "Old Man Li" again?

"Your Majesty... Master, please feed Young Master Zhong his medicine. He's angry because I saw his body when I changed his clothes, hehehe..."
