In the backyard of the Duke of Liang's mansion, a raging fire soared into the sky, melting away all the snow that had accumulated in winter, and even the thin layer of ice on the artificial lake was completely melted away.
Shen Zhiyu's son, the six-year-old crown prince, stood beside his wet nurse, looking at the raging fire and laughing loudly: "Burn, burn it up, burn it up! Let him die of illness, and Father will be happy! Hahaha! Keep burning!"
Beside him, the elderly steward, well past sixty, hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness, these medicines were obtained by the young master with great difficulty; they cannot be burned."
"Can't we burn him?" The crown prince turned his gaze to the old steward, grabbed his hand, and pressed it against the flames, his large, watery eyes filled with delight: "Can't we burn him or you?"
Seeing that the old steward's hands were burning and bleeding, he turned his gaze to the servants who were using lake water to put out the fire.
"Don't kill him! Anyone who dares to kill him is going against this Crown Prince and will be beheaded!" With that, he stepped forward and kicked the servant's leg with his short little foot.
She couldn't kick him; instead, she fell to the ground, turning to her wet nurse with teary eyes: "Granny Ji, he bullied me... Waaaaahh ...
The burly old woman rushed forward and, taking advantage of the fact that the servants dared not resist, kicked him into the cold winter water. She then hurriedly helped the prince up and comforted him.
"It's alright, Your Highness. You're the best. The Emperor loves you the most. Who would dare to bully you? Don't cry." As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the Crown Prince's tears.
The prince seemed comforted and his mood improved. He sniffled and asked with a pitiful expression, "Granny, did I do a good job?"
"Your Highness is amazing! The Emperor will surely praise you when we return."
As soon as Si Jin walked in, she saw the Crown Prince standing with his hands on his hips and head held high: "Yes, I am the best..."
thump--
The next moment, Si Jin used her internal energy to throw the unruly child into the ice water.
The little prince struggled and started crying. Granny Ji was startled and was about to reach for him when she was reprimanded by a stern voice.
"You ill-mannered scoundrel! Don't you understand that children are ignorant? Do you really think I, the Duke of Liang, am some royal palace's backyard, where I can burn things down however I want?"
The original owner was constantly on the battlefield, surrounded by iron armor and cold spears, and when he spoke in a deep voice, he was extremely imposing.
Upon hearing this, Granny Ji's heart skipped a beat, and she became somewhat flustered.
But then he remembered that he had powerful backers, so he became arrogant again and retorted with a swagger.
"Young Master, His Highness the Crown Prince is just being childish, why bother arguing with him? Aren't you six years old too? Shouldn't you call me your wet nurse?"
After shouting this arrogantly, she reached out to grab the Crown Prince again, but in the next instant, Si Jin drew the sword from Mo Qi's waist and cut off both of her arms in the blink of an eye.
"Ahhhh—"
A scream rang out, and blood fell into the artificial lake. The prince turned pale with fright, grabbed a rock on the shore, and dared not cry anymore.
They were shivering from the cold, and their lips had turned purple.
He saw Si Jin carrying a blood-stained sword and said coolly, "Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is ignorant, so you shall pay for his debt."
After saying that, he turned around and kicked the wet nurse, whose arms were bleeding, into the artificial lake. She could only watch as she screamed in pain, unable to struggle.
In the end, they were plunged into endless despair.
The young man on the shore, his black hair fluttering in the wind, showed no trace of the sickly appearance he had at the Sheng Mansion.
As expected, Jinjin looks good no matter what.
Sheng Linyuan followed and helped the young prince up. After all, he was the emperor's son, and it wasn't good for him to stay in the water all the time.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the mischievous child immediately burst into tears again: "Uncle Sheng, the Duke of Liang bullied me, waaaaah! My father said Uncle Sheng loves me the most, Uncle Sheng, please help me beat him up!"
The more the Crown Prince cried, the more heartbroken he became, and the more confident he felt, because he remembered his father saying that Sheng Linyuan disliked Mu Sijin the most and wished he could kill him.
Then kill Sheng Linyuan! Quickly hack this bad guy who bullied him to death with a flurry of blows, waaaaah~
