Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"It's not that I'm worried, but Scholar Wang should take care of his health. The third child is an adult after all, so it's better to let him go of many things and let him spend more time thinking about them. That's how he can be considered grown up."

Li Junhao was chatting with Wang Zhuo about Li Junze as if he were in a family conversation.

Wang Zhuo nodded repeatedly, with a doting smile on his face, like a parent smiling at his child.

"Your Highness is right. Parents in the world are pitiful. I always feel that no matter how old Ze'er is, he is still a child after all. I can't let him go. I can't let him go in this life. Alas..."

"That's true, Mr. Wang, you are destined to be a worrywart. The third brother will definitely know your goodness. Even if he is not very obedient now, he will definitely understand in the future."

Li Junhao said with a smile, and saw that the smile on Wang Zhuo's face was about to break. He then continued,

"Master Wang, you may not know that the third son seems to be in love with the mother of a brothel in Liushui Lane. Tsk tsk, I don't know if this is true, but I heard that there are several people who saw it. You should take care of him and don't lose the dignity of the royal family."

"This, this must be a misunderstanding. Ze'er has been staying at home honestly recently and has never left the house. It must be a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives."

Although Wang Zhuo said this, he felt very uneasy in his heart. If Li Junze really did such a thing, it would be difficult to save his reputation.

Li Junhao sighed softly and followed his words, "If that's the case, then it must be a misunderstanding. This is also a good thing. Let's call the third brother to have lunch together at noon today. I haven't seen him for a long time."

This actually means having lunch at the scholar's residence.

Before Wang Zhuo could react, Wang Yucheng behind him said happily, "Father, let me go and call Ze'er. I will also arrange for them to prepare lunch."

He really couldn't stay here any longer. He couldn't understand what the two people were saying, and if he didn't listen, Wang Zhuo would glare at him. He was feeling very uncomfortable.

When he heard Li Junhao say this, he reacted instantly.

Wang Zhuo cursed his son in his heart and did not even realize the mockery in Li Junhao's words. He originally wanted to say a few words of refusal, but his son spoke so impatiently that his words got stuck in his throat.

But after a pause, he still said the words of refusal, "Your Highness, you may not know that Ze'er made a mistake a few days ago and was punished by me to copy the Heart Sutra. I guess he is still angry now, so don't call him."

Then he ordered Wang Yucheng without further ado, "Cheng'er, go and see how Steward Ji is preparing."

Li Junhao did not insist. Seeing Wang Yucheng agreed and left, he shook his head and said,

"Is the master punishing the third child because of what happened between him and that mother? In my opinion, it is unnecessary. The third child has done many stupid things like this, and it is impossible to punish him all the time."

Sang Mo stood beside Li Junhao, feeling uncomfortable trying to hold back his laughter. Normally he thought that His Highness had a powerful tongue, and today he saw that he was indeed ruthless.

Every word touched Wang Zhuo's heart, but he still had to try hard to maintain his usual mask of magnanimity and kindness.

Especially, facing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if Wang Zhuo didn't want to maintain the relationship, he didn't have the courage to turn against Li Junhao.

Li Junhao had a perfect grasp of the timing.

"No, no, that's not it. Your Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. I punished him because of... the disaster relief in Jinzhou." Wang Zhuo made a bitter face, smiled awkwardly, and said helplessly.

"Hmm, so it was because of the incident in Jinzhou. After causing such a big mess, the scholar only punished him to copy the Heart Sutra?"

"Ah, this..."

After hearing what Li Junhao said, Wang Zhuo was suddenly at a loss for words. Yes, although Xi Gaoyuan had been partly blamed for the Jinzhou incident, he had ultimately committed a big mistake. It was indeed not justifiable to punish him by making him copy the Heart Sutra.

"Your Highness, you know that Ze'er is a prince after all. Even if I am disciplining him, I cannot break the rules." Wang Zhuo had to explain to him carefully.

What this means is that the punishment should have been more severe, but considering that Li Junze was a prince, this was the only possible punishment.

This statement is reasonable, and Li Junhao nodded after hearing it.

"Mr. Wang, you have good intentions. I feel that having a grandfather like you is a blessing that Ze'er earned in his previous life. Since it is inconvenient for you to help, then as his eldest brother, I will help you educate the third child."

“No, no,” Wang Zhuo seemed a little panicked, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “Zer has realized his mistake, Your Highness, please show some mercy.”

"If he knew he was wrong, why would there be rumors about him having sex with a prostitute? You said he was copying scriptures in the mansion. I think even you, the scholar, were kept in the dark by him."

Li Junhao ignored Wang Zhuo's extremely ugly expression and continued to speak.

"The third son is the most... unpromising one. I really don't know why father would have such a heart..."

At this point, Li Junhao glanced at Wang Zhuo who was a little surprised, and immediately stopped talking. He said a little embarrassedly, "Master, don't be surprised. I just can't stand the third brother's misbehavior, so..."

Said something I shouldn't have said.

Wang Zhuo was annoyed in his heart. It was clear that every word Li Junhao said when he came today was a trap, and in the end it formed a circle. No matter how he answered, he could still say these heart-wrenching words.

"Your Highness, didn't I just say that those words might be a misunderstanding? Please give me a chance and let me investigate it thoroughly. If this is true, I will definitely give an explanation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Zhuo said this very seriously, and wanted to use his attitude to shut Li Junhao up, so that he would at least not use such words to embarrass him today.

"I didn't expect that you, Mr. Wang, would take this matter so seriously. Even so, there is no need for you to go to such lengths. I just happened to bring someone with me today. You should meet him."

After Li Junhao finished speaking, he nodded to Sang Mo, who immediately walked out. Then a middle-aged woman dressed in fancy clothes walked into the reception room with an enchanting posture.

"Oh, I'm Yu Furong from Yihongyuan, nice to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Wang." As she spoke, she bowed gracefully, revealing her fair neck and most of her breasts. Her posture looked very seductive.
