Shen Zhixi followed Xie Zhinan's hand and looked at the wet nurse and others.
The Duke's wife quickly blocked her granddaughter's sight: "Fake Xixi, Anan is just a child and doesn't understand anything."
Xie Zhiyi kicked Xie Zhinan hard on the leg, grabbed Shen Zhixi's hand and walked out the door: "Sister, go ask mother to punish him."
After taking two steps, the Duke's wife stopped him again and told Yongjia that he would definitely be dissatisfied with Anan and that he should not make a big deal out of it.
She squatted down and hugged the two little ones in her arms: "Grandma is here, no need to look for mother, can you punish brother?"
Then he glared at Xie Zhinan with a stern look: "Anan, apologize to your brother and sister quickly."
Xie Zhinan pouted and burst into tears. He did it on purpose: "I'm not wrong. Grandma said that children shouldn't lie. Woohoo."
The two little ones looked back at him with anger in their eyes. Xie Zhiyi ignored his grandmother's obstruction, pushed her hand away, and pulled his sister to find their mother.
Although they were young and did not understand what their mother, the princess, represented, but they knew that their grandfather did not dare to speak loudly in front of their mother, and all officials, big and small, had to bow their heads and try to please her. Their mother was the most powerful.
The two's wet nurses and servants were also very dissatisfied with Xie Zhinan, but they were slaves and could not say anything to him. They blocked the Duke's wife and picked up the young master to go find the princess.
The Duke's wife couldn't stop him anymore and glared at Xie Zhinan angrily. She asked the wet nurse to look after the children while she went to chase the twins.
Chen Shurong was handling some matters when his two children came over with serious faces.
She frowned slightly, knowing that he was busy, why would he bother him?
He stood up and walked over to squat down. The three of them were the same height. “Why did you suddenly come to see me?”
Shen Zhixi endured all the grievances along the way, and when he saw his mother, his tears fell down: "Mom, my brother Anan said that Dad is dead and will not come back."
Shen Shurong's heart skipped a beat and he looked at his son with a questioning look.
Xie Zhiyi's eyes were filled with tears, but he pursed his lips tightly, trying not to let the tears fall.
Chen Shurong lowered his head, sighed almost imperceptibly, and suppressed all emotions. When he looked up again, he saw his gentle mother.
She grinned with her slightly stiff mouth, forcing out a strange smile, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "How could that be? You know best how powerful Daddy is. His sword is long and sharp. Who dares to bully him?"
"Yes, Dad is the most powerful, and he has a big sword." Shen Zhixi nodded while crying.
"Mom, when will dad come back?" Xie Zhiyi was still holding back his tears. He wanted his dad to come back and wanted to hear his mom say that dad would be back.
The son was calmer than his daughter. Shen Shurong smiled and kissed his forehead: "Your father is beating up bad guys outside for your safety. When all the bad guys are beaten up, he will come back naturally."
"When he comes back, he can take us out to play. Without the bad guys, no one will bully us, right?"
Xie Zhiyi nodded slightly, but his lips were still pursed.
Shen Zhixi stopped crying and pulled his mother out: "Brother Anan is bad, mother, punish him."
"Yes, punish him severely." Hitting him with two wooden boards would definitely not work. Xie Zhiyi hated Xie Zhinan at this moment.
Shen Shurong stood up, asked someone to hold the child and go play, and walked out.
The Duke's wife was waiting awkwardly outside the door. When she saw her second daughter-in-law coming out, she put on a flattering smile on her face: "Yongjia, Anan is still young and doesn't understand anything. Ayi and Xixi don't know what death means either. They will forget it after being coaxed."
"Mom, I've watched this child grow up. If he has evil thoughts at such a young age, what will happen to him when he grows up?"
"But he's less than two and a half years old, so he can't remember these things. He just said them out loud because he was angry about the robbery."
"Mom, you don't need to say anything. It's precisely because he is young that we need to educate him if we find any problems."
The Duke's wife:......
"Qiaoyu, go find the Crown Prince's wife and ask her to bring Anan here."
The Duchess said no more, lowered her head, and sat on a chair beside the main seat.
She knew that Shen Shurong didn't believe that Xie Yunzhao was no longer there, and she hoped so, but it had been so long...
She missed her son too and secretly wiped away her tears.
Li Wan'er brought Xie Zhinan in, not knowing what had happened. But seeing that her mother-in-law and the princess were there, she couldn't help but become a little serious.
"Mother, Princess, why did you ask me to bring Anan here?"
The Duke's wife said nothing and glanced at Xie Zhinan. There's no way. Even grandma can't protect you.
Shen Shurong stared at Xie Zhinan, his eyes showing no fear or guilt.
Oh, do you really think no one knows that you were reincarnated as a child?
Chen Shurong raised his eyes and looked at Li Wan'er: "Sister-in-law, although we are a family, if anyone disobeys the order issued by this princess, they will still be punished according to the rules."
The Duke's wife slightly raised her buttocks and looked at Shen Shurong without blinking. Was she going to punish Anan according to the rules?
Xie Zhinan's heart skipped a beat, but then he returned to normal. He was just a child and his mother would not punish him.
"What does the princess mean by this? Who disobeyed the princess's order?"
"It was Xie Zhinan. He deliberately said in front of Ayi and Xixi that Yun Zhao was dead."
Li Wan'er frowned and leaned down to ask her son, "Did you really say that?"
Xie Zhinan didn't move, didn't speak, and was stubborn.
Li Wan'er looked up at his wet nurse again, and the wet nurse pursed her lips and nodded.
Li Wan'er took a breath and stood up to plead for her son: "Princess, Anan is still young..."
"I know that mother and sister-in-law love the child. I am his second aunt, so I love him too. But he is not an ordinary child. He is the future of the Duke of Lu's Mansion."
"I know he is young, but big families educate their heirs from a young age. We should take advantage of the situation."
Having said that, the child is too young, how can Li Wan'er bear to let him go?
"Bring the futon." Chen Shurong ignored her and asked Xie Zhinan to kneel down.
The small body knelt down with its back straightened.
"Anan, first, you disobeyed the order of the Royal Princess and revealed your second uncle's affairs to your brothers and sisters. This is considered disloyalty."
"Second, your words do not indicate that you hope your second uncle will come back alive to support your younger brothers and sisters. Hoping for the elders to die is considered unfilial."
"Princess..." How could it be so serious? Li Wan'er wanted to refute immediately.
Shen Shurong waved her hand, and Sui Han stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Third, as an elder brother, you are not caring about making your younger brothers and sisters cry just for a little thing. This is considered unfilial."
"You are so disloyal, unfilial and unfraternal. You should be punished!"
When Chen Shurong finished writing the last word, you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Xie Zhinan lowered his head, tears of grievance welling up in his eyes. How could his mother become like this?
She had always been gentle and considerate to him before, but now she had put such a serious accusation on him!
Li Wan'er looked to her mother-in-law anxiously for help. If such a big accusation was put on her and outsiders knew about it, Anan would be ruined.
But the Duke's wife suddenly felt that what her second daughter-in-law said made sense, and it was time for Anan to understand something.
"Do you admit it?"
Shen Shurong's shout startled everyone in the room.
The little body kneeling on the futon also trembled, and said in a low voice: "Second Aunt, Anan doesn't understand, it's not intentional..."
Chen Shurong glanced over with cold eyes: "Considering your young age and your first offense, you will be punished to kneel here for half an hour. We will not disclose what happened today. If you dare to do it again, don't blame Second Aunt."
