On her wedding day, Jiang Xuelin, who had eloped, received good news – her fiancé, the heir of Prince Ping, Fu Hanlai, was also dissatisfied with the marriage and had eloped.
Jiang Xuelin ...
They're all too familiar with this pattern!
Fu Hanlai dusted himself off and glared at Jiang Xuelin, who retorted with a cold smile.
"Go find Mother?"
"Let's go!"
"Anyone who doesn't go is a puppy!"
"Go away! I am my mother's most beloved son. I don't believe she would side with you if she knew you hit me!"
"I don't believe that my mother, such a fair and just person, would favor you in such a matter!"
…………
"Oh, Granny, when will I be able to hold my grandson?"
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be rushed. The young master is still young." The old nanny standing behind Princess Ping smiled awkwardly, thinking of the young master she had watched grow up, and still offered a word of advice.
There's nothing I can do but try to persuade them!
Those two are constantly bickering and acting like a couple, except for one thing: they don't seem like a married couple at all. They don't even have children, and they haven't even consummated their marriage yet.
The old woman had no idea that the two of them had been sleeping in the same bed for over two months without anything happening, especially considering their age. If she hadn't noticed how much the young master cared for his wife, she would have thought he disliked her.
But that's not how it works!
Now, everyone in the entire Prince's mansion can see the young master's attitude towards the young master's wife.
"He's still young. Other children his age are already starting their formal education, but he's still like a child all the time."
The old woman didn't know how to respond to that, so she could only smile.
Princess Ping didn't want her to say anything; she was just venting her frustration.
"You said that although Ah Shou is playful and mischievous in other matters, he is very clear-headed and not really stupid. How come he can't see things clearly in this matter?"
He didn't even understand his own feelings for Lin'er!
Thinking of this, Princess Ping really didn't know what to say. Having lived for so many years, she had never seen anything like this before.
It turns out this was her son.
My biological child.
Why did she give birth to this clumsy child?
Princess Ping was puzzled when she heard a servant say that the two parties involved had come together, saying they had something to discuss with her.
"...Your Highness, the Crown Prince and his wife have come to ask you to make a decision?"
Princess Ping: "..."
Suddenly, I don't want to know what they're after anymore.
"Just say I'm busy and tell them to go back..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Fu Hanlai's voice rang out.
"Mother! Mother! Look! Jiang Xuelin is hitting her son! She actually hit her son!"
Princess Ping: "..."
It looks like there's no way to avoid it.
When the two entered, Princess Ping looked at her son and daughter-in-law, who were staring at her with wide eyes, both of them displaying indignation and hope.
They were indignant at the other party's actions and hoped that she would take charge.
For a moment, she felt as if the people standing in front of her were not her son and daughter-in-law, but her son and daughter, and two noisy sons and daughters at that.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Feeling helpless, Princess Ping kept a straight face and spoke in a very calm voice.
Once she started talking, the two of them couldn't help but recount the whole story.
Of course, we won't go into the details of the bias involved, but Princess Ping still managed to learn what had happened from the two people's accounts of their accusations.
Then she got angry.
"..."
well.
"Ah Shou, how could you suddenly attack Lin'er? Weapons have no eyes; what if Lin'er couldn't dodge in time and hurt someone? How could you be so reckless?"
"And Lin'er, you rushed in when something like this happened? Why didn't you back down to avoid getting hurt? I know you're good at martial arts, but in this situation, protecting yourself is the most important thing. What are you doing rushing in!"
With a frown, she reprimanded both of them, giving each of them fifty lashes. Looking at the two who bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, Princess Ping thought of sending another invitation to the Lady of Jing'an Marquis.
She really had so much to say to Lady Jing'an.
There are too many.
“Both of you are at fault for what happened today, but A-Shou is more at fault. Although Lin'er's counterattack after A-Shou made a move was somewhat reckless, it was understandable.” After some deliberation, Princess Ping gave the punishment.
Let's copy the book.
I heard from Xie's younger sister that Lin'er doesn't like reading and hates copying books the most. This is being used as punishment. I hope that next time she encounters something like this, she can remember this lesson and prioritize her own safety.
Ashou also hates copying books, and because he started it, his punishment will definitely be more severe.
After punishing the two, Princess Ping also fined Ping An, Kang Tai, Zi Luo, and Hong Luo, who were with her at the time, by one month's wages, on the grounds that they had not advised their master and had allowed him to act recklessly.
After punishing both of them, Princess Ping felt an urge to look at them and waved them away.
They can't bring her any grandchildren, and she doesn't want to see them right now; seeing them only brings back unpleasant memories.
They've been causing trouble ever since they got married; they're so restless.
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai exchanged a glance, their hostility still lingering, but they agreed on one thing—they could no longer provoke their mother.
They could already sense their mother's impatience. If things continued, the punishment might double, which was definitely not what either of them wanted.
However, they were somewhat surprised that Princess Ping seemed to be in a bad mood, as if she had something on her mind.
As she was about to leave, Jiang Xuelin thought for a moment and asked with concern, "Mother, have you encountered something troubling you?"
Princess Ping: "..."
