After dinner, while the little one was out having a restroom break, Xiao Moqing quickly ran up to his father and said, "Dad, guess what?"
"What?"
Xiao Moqing: "Guess why Nanny Zhao imprisoned the Crown Prince in the original text?"
The Tyrant: "Why else? Yanli is the crown prince, the future monarch. Using him as a bargaining chip to threaten me is not the best..."
"No, no, guess again." Xiao Moqing grinned and said, "I bet you can't guess it!"
The Tyrant: “…”
The tyrant didn't say anything, but just looked at his second son in front of him with an extremely calm expression.
Although the tyrant's eyes were very calm, Xiao Moqing could still sense a hint of murderous intent in his father's eyes after meeting his gaze.
Xiao Moqing swallowed his saliva. He seemed to vaguely hear the sound of his father's clenched fists and bones cracking in his sleeves.
He was so frightened that he quickly said, "That Madam Zhao was greedy for the prince's beauty and body, so she imprisoned him!"
After Xiao Moqing finished speaking, he saw the expression on his father's face change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the next second, he couldn't laugh because his father gave him a slap on the head without saying a word.
The great tyrant said angrily, "Your elder brother is blind and someone is eyeing him for his beauty, and you are actually gloating over his misfortune."
Xiao Moqing covered his forehead which was hurt by the blow and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad..."
When Wanwan came back, the first thing she saw was her second brother's red forehead. She bit a candy in her mouth, looked at the man's red forehead, and asked:
"Brother, what's wrong with your head?"
Xiao Moqing covered his head and was about to say that he was hit by a dog, but looking at his father's terrifying face, he could only swallow the words in his heart and slowly said, "I was not paying attention when I was walking just now and accidentally bumped into the door."
Wanwan suddenly realized and said, "Oh~"
"I won't believe you, a kid who's lying to me. It's obvious that Daddy beat you. Second brother, you're already a grown man, why did you make Daddy angry and get beaten by him?"
Xiao Moqing, whose lies were ruthlessly exposed by the little girl, felt like he was having a sudden heart attack.
Oh, he hated this damn world!
She also hated why he couldn't be the only one who could hear her sister's thoughts!
What if he's the only one who can hear it?
God, will the person you choose as your destined child die?

Afternoon
At the entrance of Xianyun Temple.
Zhenren Changyu stood at the door, looking at the carriage parked at the door, his eyes fell on the two adults and one child in front of him, and finally his eyes stopped on the man in dark green clothes.
Noticing the man's gaze, the Great Tyrant bowed to Master Changyu and said, "Master, I will take my leave."
Although Master Changyu had told him that since he was expelled from the sect, he was not allowed to call him Master in front of outsiders.
But this time when he called him Master, he did not get angry or object.
Zhenren Changyu didn't say anything, but looked calmly at Zhudeng beside him. Zhudeng felt his master's gaze and quickly handed over the bag in his hand.
"Brother Hongren, this is some dry food I prepared for you. Although I know you don't need anything, this is also a small token of my appreciation."
"Thank you, junior brother." The tyrant took the bag and handed it to Tan Wei beside him.
Zhudeng came close to him and whispered in a low voice, "These things were prepared by Master."
When Master Changyu saw that Zhudeng seemed to be talking to the man secretly, he couldn't help but frown and scolded him, "Zhudeng, what are you mumbling about? Have you finished all the work? Send him away and get back to work!"
Hearing this, Zhu Deng said to the Tyrant: "You see, Master has a sharp tongue but a soft heart." After saying this to the Tyrant, Zhu Deng turned around and said to Master Chang Yu who was not far away: "Okay, Master!"
Before leaving, Zhudeng stuffed something into the Tyrant's hand and said, "This is what Master wants to give to Wanwan."
The tyrant felt something heavy in his hand. He opened the cloth and found a longevity lock made of pure gold inside.
The big tyrant looked at the back of Master Changyu not far away. He knew his master's stingy personality. If he could make him give away a gold lock, it meant that he probably really liked Wanwan.
"Daddy, what is this?" Wanwan couldn't help but be curious, and she pulled the man's hand to see what Master Changyu had given her.
The great tyrant hung the pure gold longevity lock around the little girl's neck.
Sure enough, as he expected, a certain money-grubber looked at the golden longevity lock and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Wow? A longevity lock!"
Is Changyu Zhenren so generous? Is it pure gold?
Thinking of this, Wanwan took the longevity lock in her little hand and took a bite.
【Oh wow, it’s true! 】
Xiao Moqing, who was standing by, heard what was said and looked at the golden locket of longevity worn around the little girl's neck, his eyes lit up.
He said to the great tyrant expectantly, "Dad, is there a share for me?"
Master Changyu actually gave my sister a gold locket, so my share shouldn’t be that cheap, no matter how poor it is.
The tyrant said, "I'll give you a slap, do you want one?"
Xiao Moqing shrank his neck and said with a smile: "This... forget it, Dad."
The ban on the tyrant has been lifted, and the group has set off to return to the capital.
However, the great tyrant did not forget the whereabouts of the male protagonist Shen Junze.
Xiao Moqing had previously sent people to investigate, and found that Shen Junze was indeed no longer in the temple. The group of people who came with Shen Junze were also looking for him.
Shen Junze was indeed missing, and they couldn't find out where he was now.

Dongming
Cold City
Outside the house, the shouts of street vendors came into my ears, from far away and getting closer.
In a daze, Shen Junze heard a female voice say:
"Azhou, you must keep this secret and don't let your brother know."
Then, another stuttering male voice sounded, "No... No, brother said... said... said you can't lie!"
"It's not a lie, it's a... white lie, yes, a white lie."
“But…but…”
"Oh, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, your brother won't know. Besides, you see he's so badly injured. What if he dies if I don't save him?"
Upon hearing the word "die", the man the woman called Azhou immediately became anxious. He waved his hands and shook his head like a rattle. "No... No, no... Can't... He can't die... You... You save him."
"That's right. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, judging by his clothes, he looks like a nobleman. When he wakes up and knows we saved him, he might reward us handsomely. Then you'll have enough money to marry me."
