One word was enough to send chills down the spines of everyone present. The palace servants all lowered their heads, shut their mouths, and kept their breathing as quiet as possible.

The anger in Consort Lian's heart, and her eagerness to see Helian Nie, was completely chilled as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head.

"Mother, let's go back."

Helian Ci's face did not show much expression. According to his father's usual ruthless style, this warning was probably only given out of consideration for the little coward.

Consort Lian stared at the brightly lit palace with her beautiful eyes, completely lost in thought. She let the palace maids help her back to her room without resisting. However, her infatuation grew even more obsessive.

...

In the palace,

The villainous tyrant and his son, Sisi, lay on the large bed. Sisi's little bottom, which had been spanked, no longer hurt. Sisi also knew that Sisi hadn't done it because he was standing up for Aunt Lian.

Having just spanked her own little darling's bottom, Mou Sisi looked up at the high bed canopy and felt good again.

Turning her little head, her grape-like, watery eyes looked at Helian Nie lying beside her. Sisi pouted her little lips and spoke.

"Father, do you know about constellations?"

After all that commotion, Helian Nie wasn't sleepy at all, so arguing with that ugly thing wouldn't hurt.

He then turned to the side, his handsome, chiseled face coming face to face with the little girl's delicate, pink cheeks.

The long, narrow, almond-shaped eyes met the little girl's eyes, creating a somewhat awkward, staring contest.

"I don't know."

He knew about stars, but what about constellations?

Sisi sniffed, raised her chubby little fingers, and began to count.

"Hey, Father, Sisi's birthday is tomorrow, tomorrow is the fifth day of the tenth month, so Sisi's zodiac sign is Scorpio, my little cutie."

Helian's brows furrowed slightly. Scorpio? What was that? He noticed the little girl pursing her lips.

Knowing that this ugly thing probably had more to say, he didn't speak, but quietly waited for the girl to continue.

Then, the little girl Helian sniffed again, raised her face,

With those grape-like, watery eyes, she looked intently at the villainous tyrant, her soft, sweet voice extremely serious.

"Father, do you know what the most distinctive characteristic of our Scorpio darling is?"

Helian Nie raised his eyes slightly, signaling the little girl to continue. He was somewhat curious about what this ugly thing was trying to express to him after saying so much.

"Father, my little Scorpio cutie's biggest characteristic is that she holds grudges, holds grudges, holds grudges, holds grudges, Father, do you know that?"

Helian Nie: "..."

So all this talk was just to tell myself that she holds grudges?

"Father, you spanked your little darling Sisi five times, five times."

Mou Sisi raised a chubby little hand, opened it, and waved it back and forth several times in front of Helian Nie.

Helian Nie: "..."

The little girl withdrew her hand and placed it back under the warm blanket, her eyes glistening like grapes.

She stopped looking at Helian Nie, looked up at the high bed canopy, sniffed, pouted slightly, and stopped talking.

Helian Nie suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

With a swift movement, he scooped the tiny little girl into his broad arms, and under her bewildered, innocent eyes...

A certain villainous tyrant spoke in a sinister voice, sounding extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

"Ahem, I won't hit you anymore."
