Chapter 427 Don't Blame Her

Zong Jincheng had been listening intently, but when he heard the prince's name, he immediately became alert.

He asked cautiously, "You are not going to blame His Highness again, are you?"

After all this talk, does he want me to hate His Highness with him?

How is this possible!

Your Highness did nothing wrong!

Seeing that he finally showed some expression, Luo Jingfeng snorted coldly, "Of course not. I am now blaming the person who notified the prince. You little brat, you didn't respond to your mother for a long time, but you got anxious when you mentioned the prince. If I didn't know the truth, I would have believed the rumors that the prince is your father."

Zong Jincheng stared at him and said, "Do you think I don't want to? Humph, it would be better to be His Highness's son. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many problems."

Luo Jingfeng followed his thoughts and thought for a while: "Although your mother is four years older than the prince, she is still much better than your bastard father. If I had a choice, I would rather she marry a country bumpkin, a fisherman, or a tofu seller than enter the palace."

"What's the point of saying all this after the fact?" the pragmatic little devil complained.

Luo Jingfeng was furious: "Hiss, do you want to get beaten?"

Zong Jincheng was not afraid of him at all, and even crossed his arms over his chest, saying proudly and confidently: "My father is still downstairs. You want to beat me? Beat him first!"

Luo Jingfeng burst out laughing: "Boy, you are really good at manipulating people. If I fight with Zong Zhao, I may not lose."

"Then go ahead and fight. Stop bragging. My dad is the best!" Zong Jincheng became more and more confident as he spoke, as if he was the best at fighting.

Luo Jingfeng burst into laughter.

After listening for a long while, Zong Jincheng asked again: "Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?" He was still waiting to go downstairs to write his policy paper.

Luo Jingfeng stopped smiling and said calmly, "Uncle wants to tell you that your mother's life has not been easy. After my brothers and I came to power, she did not enjoy any blessings. So, don't blame her. She is just a woman and should not bear all the blame for this corrupt struggle for imperial power."

Zong Jincheng was shocked, raised his head slowly, and asked, "Who should be blamed? Uncle, didn't all this start from her decision to give birth to me?"

Everyone knew the truth, but no one dared to mention it, especially in front of Luo Jingfeng.

This is no different from accusing Luo Shu to his face.

Luo Jingfeng's eyes were sharp. He stared at the little devil's eyes seriously and taught him word by word: "You can blame your grandfather for valuing money over daughters and sending your mother into a dangerous place; you can also blame the emperor for being incompetent and only jealous of loyal ministers and wary of women; you can also blame me for being arrogant, domineering, and contemptuous of the imperial power. But you can't blame her, your mother, my sister."

These few sentences are both an explanation and a declaration.

No matter what he thought before, he had to follow the ideas that Luo Jingfeng had outlined for him. He could blame anyone but Luo Shu, because she was his mother and Luo Jingfeng's most beloved sister.

Autocratic and arrogant.

This is Luo Jingfeng.

Zong Jincheng stared at him for a long time, the anger in his chest rising and falling, his fists clenched and unclenched, he smiled and said casually: "Is it fun to blame so many people? If I have this time, I might as well think about how to defeat Qin Ye in the Spring Examination."

Seeing that he didn't argue back, Luo Jingfeng softened his attitude and asked casually, "Who is Qin Ye?"

Zong Jincheng said angrily: "My future subordinates will be defeated!"

Luo Jingfeng remembered that his results in the autumn exam were not bad, ranking tenth. The one who made him work so hard to catch up with her could be...

"Who is this year's top scholar?"

Zong Jincheng snorted and said stubbornly: "What's so great about a mere Jieyuanlang? When I win the Huiyuanlang, everyone will only remember my name, Zong Jincheng!"

Luo Jingfeng was so excited that he clapped his hands and said, "What a great ambition! What do you mean by defeating Yuan Lang? How can a mere kid like Qin Ye be worthy of riding on my Cheng Er's head? Uncle is waiting to see you defeat him in the Spring Examination."

Zong Jincheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can just talk big if you want to, but why are you attacking Qin Ye personally?"

Luo was shocked: "??? Wasn't it you who started it?"

Zong Jincheng was anxious: "Don't slander me, I didn't attack Qin Ye, I said to defeat him, you just said he was not worthy, what worthy or not worthy, how can anyone with strength be worthy!"

Luo Jingfeng was confused by what he said: "A powerful person... do you regard him as an opponent or a friend?"

The little devil's face turned black in an instant: "Of course he is an opponent, who wants to be friends with him." He stood up and was about to go downstairs.

Luo Jingfeng grabbed his collar and reminded him, "Wait a minute, the jade pendant hasn't been taken away yet."

Zong Jincheng: “…”

It's so annoying. He's too nosy.

The little devil took the small jade pendant with a sullen face, stuffed it into his arms, and ran downstairs.

Luo Jingfeng looked at Zong Jincheng's jumping back and murmured, "Third sister, although you really want him to live an ordinary life, his identity is destined to prevent him from doing so. And I can only do my best to help him smooth the way forward and make all those who will threaten Cheng'er's life disappear."

After Luo Jingfeng went downstairs, he discussed with Zong Zhao and Xu Wan about hiring a policy teacher for the children.

"Since the old man taught Shifu well, it is clear that finding a great teacher to teach is indeed useful. I will go back and notify the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites to have them come over to teach tomorrow."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Zong Zhao, but even Xu Wan's expression changed.

Luo Jingfeng was too arrogant. Inviting a teacher from the Ministry of Rites to Jincheng and others in such a high-profile manner would definitely arouse suspicion inside and outside the palace.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

Zong Zhao asked him to go out to the other courtyard to discuss.

As soon as the three adults left, the five young boys immediately got angry.

Zong Wenxiu was dumbfounded. "The Ministry of Rites only has two assistant ministers, the left and right, who are of the third rank and are in charge of the imperial examinations. One of them must be in charge of supervising the examinations this spring. Isn't it too much of an exaggeration for two examiners to come directly to our house to give lectures?"

Shen Yibai swallowed his saliva and said, "It's more than just exaggeration. If it gets out, people will definitely say that we got in through the backdoor."

He Zheng also said weakly: "Although I really want to win the first place, if I win like this, I feel like I will never be able to hold my head up straight for the rest of my life."

Wei Xinglu added: "The rumors outside will definitely kill us."

Zong Jincheng complained numbly: "He will come up with some magical operations every day. Don't worry about him. My parents will definitely not agree. Let's concentrate on writing the policy paper."

"That makes sense. Auntie would definitely be the first one to disagree."

"Uncle Zong will definitely support Auntie's decision!"

"I felt relieved instantly."

"I was almost scared to death by Luo Jingfeng."

"But you know what, it feels great to be able to invite a great teacher to teach at any time, right Jincheng? We all benefit from you." Shen Yibai bumped his shoulder and whispered, "Luo Jingfeng is so good to you. I don't know if he will accept another son. It's really enviable..."

Zong Jincheng raised his lips and teased him with a wicked smile: "Go and ask him. Hasn't he mentioned you twice? Maybe he has already chosen you and plans to adopt you as his second adopted son."
