Fourth Master squinted at Jiaming and said casually, "What, you think a month isn't enough? Then..."
“No, it’s not too little,” Jiaming quickly interrupted Fourth Master, and hurriedly agreed, “One month is just right, Master, then it’s settled.”
Fourth Master: "Yes, I will send someone to collect it according to the three meal times of the day."
After saying that, as Fourth Master's gaze shifted, the conversation changed, and it was Hongxuan's turn.
“You took him with you, and it’s because you didn’t take good care of him that this incident happened.”
Hongxuan smiled bitterly, "It's my fault, Father. Please punish me."
"Very good, you will be in charge of all the accounts for the next two months."
Hongxuan breathed a sigh of relief. As for calculating and checking accounts, he was good at mental arithmetic, and with his almost photographic memory, it was even easier.
On the surface, he agreed with a long face.
He mustn't let his father know that this punishment was too lenient for him.
Otherwise, if his father stops him from doing accounting and checks and replaces him with other tasks—things that he finds difficult or troublesome—then things will be hard to handle.
Seeing Hongxuan obediently accept the punishment, the Fourth Prince was satisfied.
Immediately, their gaze fell upon Hongjing again.
Sobbing, Hongjing couldn't help but cover his bottom with his chubby little hands, afraid that his father would hit him again.
Fourth Master sneered, "I won't hit you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Hongjing was skeptical, but still subtly covered his buttocks with his hand.
Fourth Master sized up Hongjing for a while, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "If you want to learn a lesson, then fine me!"
A fine?! Hongjing was stunned, then screamed, "No, Father!"
Jiaming and Hongxuan were taken aback, but then felt that the punishment was brilliant.
"Seeing how much you care, it seems this punishment is just right." Fourth Master decisively decided on the punishment for Hongjing, "I'll fine you three months' wages."
Hongjing was heartbroken!
He loved money the most. It was only after he moved to the front yard that he learned that he, as the prince, had received a monthly allowance since birth. The money had been kept by his mother in the past, but of course, it was later given to him as well.
Three months' worth of monthly allowance gone again, boohoo, tears welled up in his eyes again.
"By the way, the white jade unicorn paperweight you took from Father a while ago has also been confiscated." Fourth Master really liked that paperweight. Some time ago, Hongjing stubbornly took it from his study. Hmm, let's take this opportunity to get it back!
a bolt from the blue!
After regaining his senses, Hongjing's tears really did fall again.
Waaah, he'd rather lose only three months' worth of monthly pay than lose the white jade unicorn paperweight!
That's incredibly valuable!
Waaah, it's all gone just like that!
