Butler Wei led Wei Yuanxuan to the front hall.
As soon as Wei Yuanxuan entered the front hall, Wei Kun slapped him across the face.
Wei Kun didn't hold back with his slap; Wei Yuanxuan was knocked to the ground, his face swollen and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Wei Kun felt one slap wasn't enough and prepared to kick him again.
San Shu saw this and quickly stopped Wei Kun.
"My lord, that slap was enough. If you kick him again, the young master will be badly injured."
"What will the princess think when she sees this?"
Upon hearing San Shu's words, Wei Kun also remembered...
"Thank you for the reminder, sir; otherwise, I wouldn't have stopped myself."
"You're too kind, Lord Marquis."
Seeing that Wei Kun didn't say anything more, San Shu had someone put Wei Yuanxuan on the long bench.
Then two guards each struck him with a board.
Thirty strokes of the cane were delivered without Wei Yuanxuan uttering a single complaint of pain, nor did he ask Wei Kun for help.
San Shu recalled that three years ago, when he came to the Dingkang Marquis's residence, he also watched people being flogged. At that time, it was Wei Kun's eldest son, Wei Fengde, who was being flogged.
At that time, Wei Fengde kept screaming in pain, howling, and even fainted.
Now, not only did Wei Yuanxuan not cry out for mercy, but even after being flogged, he was able to stand up and walk up to Wei Kun. San Shu couldn't help but glance at Wei Yuanxuan a few more times.
"Father"
Wei Kun was also surprised to see that Wei Yuanxuan could still walk over.
"Go down."
"Yes, thank you, Father."
After bowing, Wei Yuanxuan left hesitantly, step by step.
"The matter is settled, this servant will take his leave now."
"Steward Wei, aren't you going to see the Third Eunuch off?"
"Yes, sir."
Steward Wei saw the three off as they left the Dingkang Marquis's residence.

As soon as Wei Yuanxuan returned to the courtyard where he lived peacefully with his mother, Ping An came to Wei Yuanxuan's room.
"Xuan'er, does it hurt? What happened?"
When Ping An entered, he saw Wei Yuanxuan lying face down on the bed, his buttocks covered in blood. He felt extremely distressed, and seeing that no servants were taking care of Wei Yuanxuan, he became furious.
"Where has everyone gone? Didn't they see that the young master is injured? Aren't they going to come and serve him?"
Seeing Ping An's distressed expression, Wei Yuanxuan comforted her.
"Mother, I'm not in pain, don't worry. I've sent someone out to get some medicine, they'll be back in a bit."
"Xuan'er, what exactly happened? Did your father hit you?"
Wei Yuanxuan didn't know what was going on either, so he shook his head.
It was at this moment that Wei Kun arrived.
"Father"
Wei Yuanxuan, lying on the bed, called out "Father," but Wei Kun ignored him.
Ping An was furious when she saw Wei Kun. "Why did you hit your son?"
"You mean the unfilial son I hit?"
"Ping An, after all these years, do you still see me the same way?"
Wei Kun pretended to be sad.
"Didn't you hit your son a lot before he was four years old? If you didn't hit him, then who did?"
Ping An was not deceived by Wei Kun's appearance.
"Ping An, you really know how to wrong me. This unfilial son and Fang Li's son secretly took the princess out of the palace together."
"This is a punishment from His Majesty, not something I decided to administer."
"Then why didn't you plead for your son? You pleaded for Wei Fengde, but you didn't plead for Xuan'er?"
Ping An slapped Wei Kun across the face as he spoke.
Seeing this, Wei Yuanxuan quickly got out of bed and stood in front of Ping An, afraid that Wei Kun would hit Ping An.
Wei Kun did indeed raise his hand after finishing the fight safely.
When Wei Kun saw Ping An's angry face, he didn't strike her. Instead, he revealed a strange smile.
When Ping An saw that smile, she knew what was about to happen, but her son was still here!
Wei Kun didn't think much of it and simply grabbed Ping An.
Then he threw Ping An onto the bed where Wei Yuanxuan was lying, and leaned over to him.
Wei Yuanxuan saw this, ran over and hit Wei Kun, yelling, "You're not allowed to bully Mother!"
"Don't bully your mother!"
Wei Kun kicked Wei Yuanxuan, sending him crashing into the table and knocking him unconscious.
Ping An, who was on the bed, saw Wei Kun kick Wei Yuanxuan and slapped Wei Kun across the face again.
"Are you crazy? Why did you kick your son?"
Wei Kun found something to gag Ping An, and a strange voice came out, "You'd better not speak."
Wei Kun ripped open Ping An's clothes and began...
When Wei Yuanxuan woke up, Wei Kun had not yet finished.
Upon seeing this, Wei Yuanxuan stood there dumbfounded. After a moment, he ran up again to attack Wei Kun.
Wei Kun kicked him again, and this time Wei Yuanxuan didn't faint. Instead, he slowly got up from the ground.
Seeing the vase not far away, Wei Yuanxuan picked it up and smashed it at Wei Kun.
Wei Kun's head was hit and bleeding.
Wei Kun, wiping the blood from his head, got up from Ping An and slapped Wei Yuanxuan across the face.
Wei Yuanxuan couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Ping An rushed over to Wei Yuanxuan and angrily rebuked Wei Kun, "If you have a problem, come at me! What kind of behavior is it to hit your son?"
Upon hearing Ping An's words, Wei Kun let out a fierce, sinister laugh.
"Don't worry, you'll be held accountable for this."
After saying that, Wei Kun left the room. Ping An, exhausted, quickly picked up Wei Yuanxuan and placed him on the couch not far away.
He put on a robe, summoned two maids, and sent one to fetch the royal physician while the other brought him a clean set of clothes.
