"You don't even know how to use your brain when you lie. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thousands of miles away now. How long do you have ears to hear His Royal Highness's orders?"

"You used to be a man who dared to do and take responsibility, but now you have forgotten that. Whenever you encounter problems, you always want the Crown Prince to clean up your mess. Is the Crown Prince your father?"

"How dare you do such a heartless thing and even frame the Crown Prince. I think you really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!"

"No matter how good your relationship with His Royal Highness is, you must remember that he is the king and you are the subject. There is only a time for you to take responsibility for him, not a time for you to discredit him!"

Prime Minister Shen said a lot in one breath. His chest heaved violently, he gasped, his eyes were red, and he looked very tired. However, this scolding was like a basin of cold water poured on Shen Zhaixing, soaking him from head to toe.

He was stunned for a moment, tears rolling down his eyes, feeling very aggrieved. It turned out that in his father's eyes, he was such an unlearned person, such an impulsive person who only knew how to make trouble everywhere.

He has changed a lot during this period of time. He has learned to be a good son, an excellent person in the eyes of others. He has tried his best to control himself and not get into trouble. But why can't his father see his efforts at all?

"Yes, I am a tyrant and bully men and women. What can you do to me? Are you going to beat me to death?" Shen Zhaixing suddenly became extremely excited and he shouted hysterically at Prime Minister Shen.

Prime Minister Shen's hands were clenched and making a clattering sound. His old face turned red with anger. He raised the stick in his hand high, but did not drop it for a long time.

"Beat me, beat me to death? Beat me to death so I can go to the underworld to find my mother. If my mother is still alive, she will definitely not be willing to yell at me!"

"My mother is gone, and I am a child without a mother. You can beat me and scold me as you please! When other people get into trouble outside, they always have their mothers to protect them. What about me? I have nothing, and when I come back, you beat me with a stick!"

"Hit me, hit me to death if you have the guts!" Shen Zhaixing said, and simply closed his eyes, looking like he was ready to be slaughtered.

Prime Minister Shen's eyes suddenly turned red. His wife died during childbirth, leaving behind only Zhaixing, his only child.

The child's eyes and eyebrows look very much like his wife. Whenever he sees him, he thinks of his deceased wife. That's why he neglected to discipline his son for the past twenty years and just doted on him blindly. However, this resulted in him developing this fearless character.

Now that I realize something is wrong, it’s difficult to control it.

"Evil obstacle! Evil obstacle!"

He threw the stick in his hand to the ground, turned around and walked out the door angrily.

"Sir, were you too harsh in what you said to the young master?" The housekeeper looked at Shen Zhaixing, who was lying on the ground after being hit with a stick, with heartache.

When has the young master ever been beaten?

He just watched the stick coming down, and he felt so heartbroken.

The master has a lot of official duties, so he has always been the one taking care of the young master.

To be disrespectful, he already treated the young master as his own son.

The young master just has a quick temper, but he is not a bad person by nature. He would not do such a bandit thing as robbing a woman. There might be some misunderstanding here.

"Severe?" Prime Minister Shen snorted coldly, puffing his beard and glaring angrily: "Look at his current behavior. If I don't discipline him, who knows what big mistakes he will make in the future?"

Prime Minister Shen took a deep breath and said, "Lock the door. No one is allowed to let him out without my order, and he is not allowed to send a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Prime Minister Shen knew that his child had a close relationship with Gu Jingheng, and he would definitely ask Gu Jingheng for help whenever he encountered difficulties.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not help Shen Zhaixing do these things to bully men and women, he could not let these ugly things in his family reach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ears.

He can't afford to lose this person!

"Yes, sir." Although the butler felt sorry for Shen Zhaixing, he was not willing to disobey Prime Minister Shen's orders.

"Also, send someone to the Nan family to express my apologies on my behalf and let them relax. I will not let this rebellious son go before Princess Le'an gets married."

Innocence is so important to the girl, but the things that this rebellious son did were to force the girl to death!

This child must be taught well, otherwise he might cause a terrible disaster in the future!

Thinking of this, he went back to his study, wrote a letter asking for leave, and had someone present it to His Majesty.

Nan family.

When Nan's father and mother saw the Prime Minister's housekeeper coming, they thought that Prime Minister Shen was alarmed by Nan's father's last case, but they didn't expect that the man came to apologize.

After hearing what happened, Nan's father and mother were completely stunned.

After sending the Shen family's housekeeper away, Nan's mother couldn't help but ask, "Yuan'er, how did Yuan'er get involved with the young master of the Shen family?"

Yuan'er has been a very well-behaved child since she was a child. It is impossible for her to have an affair with a strange man without telling them, especially when she is already engaged.

Almost everyone in the capital city knew the reputation of the young master of the Shen family. He was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and had done many things to bully men and women.

How did his Yuan'er end up offending that devil?

Father Nan held Mother Nan's hand and comforted her, "Won't we all know everything when the two children come back?"

"Fortunately, Prime Minister Shen has said that he will discipline his son. Prime Minister Shen has always been fair and will definitely handle this matter well."

Although Father Nan said this, he was still a little worried.

The two of them supported each other and stood at the door waiting for Nan Yuan and Nan Jiamu.

When Nan Yuan and Nan Jiamu came back, they saw their parents who were full of worry.

"Mom and Dad, why are you standing at the door?" Nan Jiamu asked puzzledly when he saw the worried faces of his parents.

Nan's father and mother ignored Nan Jiamu, surrounded Nan Yuan, and asked about Shen Zhexing.

Nan Yuan pursed her lips, not knowing where to start.

"Mom and Dad, let's go back and talk in the house." Nan Jiamu stepped forward to help.

"That's right, go in and talk."

Nan's father and mother did not ask any more questions, and they all returned to the house and sat down together.

Nan Jiamu briefly explained what happened at Qingliangtai today, which made Nan's father and mother even more nervous.

"Yuan'er, did you really get your position as princess thanks to Young Master Shen? If that's the case, I would rather you give up this position than have anything to do with Young Master Shen!" Nan's mother held Nan Yuan's hand, her face full of nervousness.

"Mother, don't worry, my position as a princess has nothing to do with Master Shen." Nan Yuan explained.

Nan's mother became even more anxious after hearing this, and asked hurriedly, "If it's not because of him, then who is it because of? It can't be that the position of princess just fell on your head without any reason, right?"

Nan's mother was well aware of the relationships around her, and none of them had a say in front of the Crown Prince. Apart from the news from others about Shen Zhaixing's request, she really couldn't think of any other reason that would allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to personally confer the title of Princess on Yuan'er.

Nan Yuan was silent for a moment, her hands hanging by her side clenched tightly.
