Chapter 10: The old sow wears a bra, one set after another

"Cao Dehai, please go and bring the third son to me." Lu Yanshi frowned slightly and gave the order.

He has three sons in total. The third son has never had much presence and is said to be naughty. But he thought that every child is naughty, so he never paid much attention to it.

To be precise, he didn't pay much attention to any of his children. After all, there were too many memorials to deal with every day.

Those officials said a lot of nonsense in their memorials every day, which made him upset.

"Yes." The chief eunuch Cao Dehai responded and went to Changchun Palace in person to ask for the person.

Xie Ruizhu was overjoyed to see Cao Dehai coming.

Did the emperor change his mind and forgive the Xie family?

Unexpectedly, Cao Dehai's first sentence made her smile freeze on her face.

"Your Highness, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to invite the Third Prince to the Weiyang Palace. The Emperor wants to know what the Third Prince did wrong that made him kneel outside the palace for so long?"

Weiyang Palace, it’s Weiyang Palace again!

It was obvious at first glance that it was that bastard Xia Shuyi who was causing the trouble.

"He is disrespectful to his mother and unfilial. Why can't I punish him?" Xie Ruizhu was furious, and her tone was full of venom.

Cao Dehai still kept smiling: "If that's the case, I understand. Then I will take the third prince away."

"You can't explain it clearly. I will go and explain it to the emperor myself." Xie Ruizhu directly lifted the quilt and was about to follow him out.

"Your Majesty, you are still under house arrest." Cao Dehai reminded.

Then, without waiting for Xie Ruizhu to let him leave, he ordered people to take Lu Heng away.

"How dare a bastard like you act so insolently in front of me?" Xie Ruizhu was so angry that she smashed all the teacups on the table.

Everyone in Changchun Palace dared not breathe, for fear that the Empress' anger would spread to them.

Lu Heng had been kneeling for so long that his knees were already red and swollen.

When Xia Shuyi saw it, she couldn't control her tears and fell.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is still young. If he makes a mistake, he should be properly taught. He has been kneeling for several hours. How can he bear this?" She couldn't help but defend her son.

Lu Heng, who had not cried until now, burst into tears when he heard her words.

Sure enough, only his mother would be nice to him.

[What's the point of crying, you're such an idiot. ]

Lu Li on the side couldn't stand it anymore and complained madly in her heart.

[Why don't you just tell the truth about what the bad woman did to you? Can't you recite the Three Character Classic and file a complaint? ]

When Lu Yanshi heard his daughter's thoughts, he was speechless.

He could recite the Three Character Classic when he was three years old, but his son still can't recite it when he is six years old?

Xia Shuyi is not a stupid person.

Even if their children are not as smart as child prodigies, they shouldn't be that stupid.

Could it be that she was born in the wrong year and was switched?

Or is it that all the intelligence is given to the younger daughter, so the son is a little dumber?

If Lu Li knew what he was thinking, she would definitely criticize him.

"Tell me, what did you do to make Xie Zhaoyi punish you like this?" Lu Yanshi asked.

After being reminded by Lu Li, Lu Heng stopped crying and tried his best to make his tone calm.

He told the whole story in a dignified manner.

[This bad woman's excuses are just like a sow wearing a bra, one after another. ]

[It is clear that he is reluctant to see his own son suffer, yet he speaks so openly. ]

[Stupid brother is younger, isn't it easier for him to be infected by the disease? ]

Lu Li was furious.

Xia Shuyi was also very angry, and the handkerchief in her hand was already crumpled into a ball.

Lu Yanshi also felt that what his daughter said made sense.

He felt even more dissatisfied with Xie Ruizhu.

At first, she said that the second child was grown up and not as close to her as when he was a child, so she wanted to take the third child over to raise.

These years, he saw that the third child was fat and lively, so he didn't think too much about it.

As a result, this kind of thing happened today.

"Do you think your mother was right to punish you?" Lu Yanshi looked at his son calmly.

"As a son, filial piety comes first. My mother punished me for her own reasons. After all, my mother is always very good to me. Father, please don't blame her, okay?" Lu Heng pleaded for Xie Ruizhu.

Xia Shuyi frowned when he heard this. How could this child be so innocent?

Lu Li rolled her eyes in anger.

[Okay, I call you stupid, you really are stupid. ]

[That bad woman was never nice to you, and you even begged for her.]

[I will never bother with my stupid brother again! ]

Lu Heng felt very bitter.

He has become smarter. He wasn't trying to plead for Xie Zhaoyi. Sister, can you please listen to him finish his words?

"Oh? Your mother is usually very nice to you? How?" Lu Yanshi was a little curious.

"My mother is very good to me. She doesn't force me to study, and she arranges people to play dice and cricket with me. She also arranges for beautiful palace maids to sleep with me." Lu Heng innocently revealed all those things.

The faint smile on Lu Yanshi's face disappeared in an instant.

He is not a fool like Lu Heng.

There was no way Xie Ruizhu could fool him with such a crude trick. Xie Ruizhu did this to make Lu Heng a brainless playboy.

Xia Shuyi was so anxious that she sighed. If Xie Ruizhu continued to support him like this, Lu Heng would be useless sooner or later.

"Go and check whether what the third prince said is true." He gave the order with a gloomy face.

Soon, everyone around Lu Heng was brought over and questioned one by one.

Cao Dehai sorted out these confessions and told them all to Lu Yanshi.

Lu Yanshi's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a rainstorm. He had never expected that Xie Ruizhu was so vicious.

It seems that he will have to pay more attention to his harem in the future.

[Father is not stupid, he should be able to see through the bad woman's true intentions, right? ]

Seeing that he had asked someone to investigate, Lu Li felt relieved.

Father will definitely not let my stupid brother be ruined like this.

Lu Yanshi: My daughter actually compares him with that idiot Lu Heng. Isn't that a bit disrespectful to him?

At this time, Xia Shuyi on the side suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."

"What's the matter?" Lu Yanshi looked at her with some confusion.

Xia Shuyi struggled for a long time and finally decided to go for it.

She bowed to the emperor and spoke out her thoughts in one breath.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is my son. Can you please let him return to my side and let me personally raise him?"

"After all, Xie Zhaoyi is ill. She may not be able to take care of the two princes. Moreover, she has to copy scriptures and pray for Li'er, so she has no time to take care of the third prince."

[Wow, mother is so smart. If I could get my stupid brother back, he would definitely not be bullied by bad women.]

[Most importantly, my stupid brother has been taken back to Weiyang Palace. With my mother here, he shouldn't die, right?]

Lu Li's thoughts successfully attracted the three of them.

Will Lu Heng die?

Lu Yanshi's heart was shocked.
