Chapter 266: Substitute Punishment

This palace maid may be eager to fly to the branches and become a phoenix. Why does she need the meddling fourth young master of the Qin family?

Before Concubine Shu finished her words, she rolled her eyes.

But this half sentence sounded so unpleasant to Xiao Si.

This was different from the ideas he had received since he was a child. Xiao Si couldn't help but feel torn and resentful in his heart.

"She is a palace maid, so what? Are you born nobler than palace maids? In my eyes, there is no difference in status. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people!"

Xiao Si couldn't help but scold these powerful people in his heart. He knew that his master was right when he told him that the powerful people were all idiots.

In his opinion, these people were just born into good families. In fact, in terms of their talents and intelligence, they are no match for some people in the martial arts world.

Xiao Si can be said to have a good background, but when he was training in the mountains over the years, he never looked down on any Taoist in the martial arts world because of his family.

Therefore, the palace is really not suitable for him.

The nameless anger in his heart surged up instantly, and he immediately gave up, pulled Qin Shu, and wanted to take him away.

"Mom, I don't want to do this job anymore."

Xiao Si's heart was full of disappointment.

Originally, he worked hard for three days and wanted to do something real, but the attitude of the people in the palace really disappointed him.

Seeing that the fourth child of the Qin family left without saying anything, and regarded the position that Concubine Shu tried every means to find for her brother as a hot potato, Concubine Shu was immediately furious.

"You can't just say you don't want to do the position bestowed by the emperor! As the son of a royal merchant, you are so ignorant of the rules. I have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother."

When the fourth child said that, Qin Shu thought it was not good.

But the fourth child's actions were too fast, and Qin Shu couldn't cover the fourth child's mouth to stop him from speaking.

Seeing that Concubine Shu was really angry, Qin Shu sighed helplessly.

The current situation was already considered when the Qin family sent the fourth child to the palace, but they didn't expect it to really happen.

While Qin Shu was still thinking about countermeasures and had no time to take care of little Xixi, Qin Xixi quietly slipped away in a place where no one noticed.

Even Qin Shu did not notice that little Xixi was missing, because Xixi could not usually speak very complete sentences, and her inner voice was sometimes there and sometimes not. So in fact, Xixi's presence in the palace was not very high.

At this time, she ran out in a flash, gritting her teeth, wanting to call for reinforcements.

[Fourth brother, wait for me, Xixi will definitely save you! ]

Seeing that Concubine Shu was angry and wanted to punish Xiao Si with palace rules, Concubine An's eyes flashed with an imperceptible pride. However, Concubine An still had a worried look on her face.

She also pretended to be considerate and persuaded Concubine Shu.

"Sister, the fourth young master Qin is still a child after all..."

Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Concubine Shu.

"Those who can serve in this palace, even if they are young, can they be regarded as children! Even if he is young, he should know the taboos of serving in this palace. Just because he is a child, he can't disobey the rules set by our ancestors for so many years."

Concubine Shu didn't want to listen to others anymore, so she called a guard over impatiently.

"Come here, slap me!"

This guard was Concubine Shu's personal guard, so he listened to Concubine Shu very much. Seeing this, he was about to come forward and slap Xiao Si.

If it was another punishment, it would be fine, but Xiao Si didn't think that this guard's martial arts could compare to him.

Xiao Si immediately wanted to stop the guard.

But Xiao Si didn't know about it, and Qin Shu understood that if Xiao Si really hit the guard, it would not only be a mistake for being brave and righteous.

Beating the guards around the concubines in the palace is equivalent to losing face for the concubines. This is not a big deal, but if the Concubine Shu deliberately blames Xiao Si, then Xiao Si will probably suffer a physical beating.

Qin Shu hurriedly stopped Xiao Si before he could make a move.

"If the Concubine Shu deliberately wants to punish me, then I will take the punishment on my behalf. To be honest, it is also my fault for not bringing up my child well, so the fault naturally lies with me, so I am willing to take these slaps on behalf of Xiao Si."

The Concubine Shu sneered.

"What is the Qin family master doing? Do you think I won't dare to punish you if you block me?"

Qin Shu bowed her hands calmly and shook her head.

"I dare not, I just want to be punished on behalf of my son."

Xiao Si's eyes immediately turned red and she shouted.

"A man should take his own responsibility. Leave my mother alone and come at me!"

Seeing this, Concubine Shu said in a very gloomy tone.

"You are acting like a mother and son here, which makes me look so arrogant and domineering. What a trick!"

"Since you are all coming to me one by one, don't worry, none of you can escape."

Qin Shu's expression darkened. Concubine An had seen enough of the excitement and finally remembered to support Concubine Shu.

"Sister, let's wait until the emperor comes! I'm afraid the emperor will blame you for using lynching."

Concubine An was just trying to stop Concubine Shu in a formal manner. She didn't really want to help the Qin family, she just wanted to pretend to leave a good impression on Qin Shu so that it would be easier to get close to the Qin family in the future.

Concubine Shu frowned when she heard this.

"Why should we alarm the emperor for such a small matter?"

Concubine Shu insisted on teaching the two people from the Qin family a lesson herself.

Concubine An pretended to lower her head helplessly, but in fact her eyes were full of ridicule and pride.

This Concubine Shu was used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and she was really as stupid as a pig.

But it was rare for her to find such a useful chess piece. Concubine An was happy to see these two people she hated rubbing each other.

"Well, since the head of the Qin family is willing to be punished, why not let the head of the Qin family try out the rules of this palace. Let's see whether the family rules of the Qin family are more important or the palace rules are more important!"

Although Shu Fei's mind was impulsive, stupid and arrogant, there was a trap in what she said.

Qin Shu lowered her eyelids and didn't want to say more, waiting for Shu Fei's move.

But how could Xiao Si see his mother being beaten?

"I told you, come at me, don't hit my mother!"

Qin Shu opened her eyes and glared at Xiao Si.

"If you still recognize me as your mother, listen to me, otherwise don't call me mother when you go back to the mansion tonight."

Xiao Si was very angry.

Why is it like this? In the martial arts world? Obviously, being brave and righteous is a behavior that is praised by everyone. If it was in the martial arts world, Tong Chuanqiong's behavior of molesting a decent woman today would definitely be covered with a sack and his third leg broken by the martial arts people!

But why, in the palace, did he cause his mother to be implicated?
