After a long silence, he said, "Send someone to see if anything happened to the Wei family."

"Yes." Ning Hai bowed and agreed, then hurriedly left the hall, called over a eunuch and whispered a few words to him.

After the eunuch took the order and left, he looked up at the bright sun and felt a little frightened for some reason.

...It's only been a short time since he recovered, and now something strange has happened again.

………………

On the other hand, a palace maid came to deliver a letter just now. Jiang got the news that her daughter would not come today, and then she saw someone right after that. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Wei Hanzhang looked listless and didn't want to talk, and his face didn't look very good.

Jiang reached out and touched her daughter's forehead, and asked, "Did you have a fight with His Highness again?"

"Whoever gets angry with him, don't mention him." Wei Hanzhang was really unhappy. The memory of her intimate relationship with that man was still in her mind, but she couldn't recall how she felt at that time.

What kind of mood did she have to be in to do that? How could she be so passionate about kissing a man who was so much older than her?

When I think about it now, I feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart.

"Are you really throwing a tantrum?" Jiang shook her head and laughed, advising: "Ran Ran's temper is getting worse and worse. Don't take advantage of His Highness's pampering and become even more outrageous."

Wei Hanzhang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.

Jiang's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She waved away the servants in the room and whispered, "What happened to my son? What trouble did he encounter?"

Her mind raced, and she thought of many bad things.

Wei Hanzhang was about to speak when she saw this, but Jiang reached out, grabbed her arm, and took off her coat in one go.

Seeing that the red sand mole on the inside of her daughter's forearm was still there, she gently scraped it with her fingernails, then breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her hand, glanced at her daughter, and said angrily, "Why are you so embarrassed for no reason? You really scared me."

"...You're overthinking it." Wei Hanzhang pulled up the coat on his arm, without any shyness, and said, "This is not what my daughter is worried about."

There was no one else in the room, and Wei Hanzhang had no intention of hiding anything. He said directly, "When I woke up this morning, I felt as if I had just woken up from a dream. I was shocked to find that I had done a lot of wrong things during this period of time. It was hard for me to accept it for a while, so I was not in the mood to joke around. I am sorry to have worried you."

The daughter looked calm, no longer as arrogant as before, as if she had grown up overnight. Jiang slightly restrained her smile and asked, "What happened?"

Wei Hanzhang picked up a piece of lotus seed cake, put it in his mouth and took a light bite. After swallowing it, he looked up and smiled, "Nothing."

Xiao Boqian's status is noble. Even if she tells her mother about her psychological changes, it will not solve any problems except making her worry.

The imperial decree had been issued, and what she should do was to deceive herself into liking him, just like before.

Jiang's hand, which was about to pour the tea, paused slightly. She was a young and delicate girl, and she always said what she wanted to say. It was really wrong for her to be hesitant like this.

Her daughter had grown up, and she couldn't be forced to say something she didn't want to say. She suppressed her worries, poured a cup of herbal tea, and said, "Drink more water. This cake is too sweet."

Wei Hanzhang smiled, took the teacup and took a sip. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the voice of Nanny Zhou outside the door, "Seventh Miss, please go back. Madam said that you should learn the rules well these days. There is no need to come to pay respects."

"I heard that Ranran came, so I came to see her. Please tell her, Madam." Wei Hansu's voice came through the door, barely audible.

Jiang curled her lips and sneered, put down the teapot, and said loudly: "Let her in."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhou outside the door pushed open the door. Wei Hansu walked in, but before she could even greet him, she heard her stepmother's voice.

Jiang said, "Kneel down."

There was a hint of anger in her voice, which made Wei Hansu feel a little helpless. Soon he felt a pain in his knee and was kicked by Nanny Zhou, causing him to kneel straight down on the ground.

Wei Hanzhang was stunned. He looked over from the side and saw his sister clenching her fists. She asked in a low voice, "Mother, why are you like this? I just wanted to come and see Ranran."

"Why is that?" Jiang's eyes became sharp, and she said in a cold voice, "Do you remember what I said when I picked you up yesterday? Be well behaved, stay in your room, listen carefully to the two maids' teachings, forget about your inappropriate thoughts, and wait for the marriage."

"How good of you! You come to me before the day even comes." Jiang laughed in anger, "Could it be that I have been too kind to you over the years, and you have forgotten your own identities?"

This includes her biological mother, Shen, and her two younger brothers.

Wei Hansu's sobbing stopped at some point. Her body trembled slightly as she knelt on the ground. Her lips opened and closed for a long while. She didn't dare to say a word of defense. She just said obediently, "My daughter knows she was wrong."

Jiang thought she had been patient enough with this concubine's daughter. This time, she was not soft-hearted and said calmly, "Since you know you are wrong, you must accept the punishment."

“…Yes.” Wei Hansu lowered her head to wipe her tears and sobbed, “Please punish me, mother.”

Jiang looked down at the concubine for a long time. She didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly she smiled and said, "Don't stand in front of me. Go outside and kneel until your father comes back at noon. If he calls you to get up, you can get up."

I guess she has been too good-tempered these years, and she has let the concubine's daughter take advantage of her...

It was really meaningless. Jiang smiled coldly and ordered Zhou Mama: "Let the seventh girl kneel in the middle of the courtyard. You watch her personally. No shadows are allowed, no water is allowed. She must kneel straight. If she can't hold on, pour a cup of cold tea on her to wake her up."

Nanny Zhou agreed in a low voice. She was Jiang's dowry nanny and was always strong and powerful. She was worried that Wei Hansu would not agree, so she grabbed her arm and said, "Seventh Miss, did you hear me clearly? Please come in."

Although it is the beginning of autumn now, the temperature is not any lower than that of midsummer, and it is even more violently emitting the last remaining power of the year. If you really have to kneel under the sun at noon, not to mention a little girl who has been brought up in seclusion, even young and strong men may not be able to bear it.

Wei Hansu's face turned pale and he was completely frightened. The words of begging for mercy were on the tip of his lips, but he looked up and saw the cold face of his stepmother and did not dare to say a word.

She turned her gaze to Wei Hanzhang with an expectant look.

I hope this sister can beg for mercy.

Wei Hanzhang looked at her with a look in his eyes, his heart moved slightly, but he did not speak.

As the mistress of the family, Jiang was in charge of disciplining the concubine's daughter, and even Wei Heng could not easily interfere. What qualifications did she have to beg for mercy?

Wei Hansu, who was dragged up by Nanny Zhou, had despair in his eyes. When he thought of what he had done yesterday, the only guilt and uneasiness he had disappeared, and he suddenly felt extremely happy in his heart.

Be proud of yourself!

Let me see how long you and your daughter can remain so proud.
