After leaving the library, Zimu strolled to the pine room where Lan Qiren lived.

Her thoughts were wandering along the way. She thought about Xue Yang's naughty look, and Lan Qiren's reaction after his beard was shaved. She couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Because Lan Qiren's beard was shaved, he hid in the pine room these days and rarely went out.

His heart was filled with helplessness and anger. He really didn't know what to do with Xue Yang who shaved his beard.

After all, this kid is unconventional, but very talented.

Wen Ruohan, who used the excuse of returning to Qishan to deal with clan affairs, was actually copying the Lan family rules for Xue Yang. While copying, he said to the elders beside him: "Everyone, be serious and copy according to the handwriting of that copy."

His eyes were full of concentration and seriousness, as if he was doing something very important.

"Master... have you offended Mr. Lan?"

After hearing Wen Ruohan's words, the Wen clan's great elder's mouth twitched and he asked in confusion.

Wen Ruohan coughed lightly and said, "No, that's not the case. It was just that a child made a mistake and was punished to copy the Lan family rules forty times. He cried while copying them. I couldn't bear to see him so I took the initiative to help him copy them thirty times."

His tone was full of tenderness and care.

Several elders of the Wen family looked at each other in confusion, their eyes full of confusion, not understanding why the clan leader would copy the family rules for a child.

Finally, it was the Great Elder who spoke: "Haha... As long as you are happy, Sect Master."

Elder Wen chuckled and didn't believe Wen Ruohan's words at all.

"You don't believe it?" Wen Ruohan's eyes flashed with displeasure.

"Yes, of course I do." Several elders nodded quickly. They didn't dare to offend the sect leader.

"Just copy the letter carefully."

After copying, I have to go back to find my Taoist partner.

Of course, even if Wen Ruohan didn't say the second half of the sentence, these elders knew it well.

------------------------------

"Sir, the Sect Master's wife wants to see you."

Lan Qiren, who was mourning for his beard, heard the message from the Lan Clan's disciples at the door. He took a deep breath, left the mirror and sat down: "Please."

There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was still upset about having his beard shaved.

"Uncle." Zimu walked into the room and saluted Lan Qiren with a smile.

"Zi Mu, it's useless even if you beg for mercy."

When Lan Qiren saw Zimu's smiling face, he thought Zimu was pleading for Xue Yang.

There was a hint of determination in his tone, and it was obvious that he did not intend to let Xue Yang go easily.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? At the beginning, Ah Xian also... Didn't I also not beg for mercy?"

There was a hint of teasing in Zimu's tone. She knew that Lan Qiren was always strict with people who broke the family rules, but she also knew that Lan Qiren was a reasonable person.

There was a sly glint in her eyes, as if suggesting to Lan Qiren not to be too harsh.

“Humph, don’t think that just because I don’t tell you, it means I don’t know. Most of the house rules that Wuxian was punished for were copied by Wangji.”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness in Lan Qiren's tone.

He has always been troubled by Wei Wuxian's mischief, and Lan Wangji's indulgence of Wei Wuxian also makes him feel helpless.

"Uncle is wise." Zi Mu praised with a smile.

The atmosphere was a little more relaxed at this time, and Zimu took the opportunity to say: "Uncle, Xue Yang is actually not a bad kid by nature, he just did something stupid because he was tempted by candy. He now knows he was wrong and is working hard to copy the family rules."

Her tone was full of sincerity, hoping that Lan Qiren could be more tolerant towards Xue Yang.

Lan Qiren frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then asked, "Who coaxed Xue Yang?"

After saying this, Lan Qiren's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

A feeling of displeasure welled up in his heart. He didn't believe at all that someone could use candy to trick Xue Yang into doing such a ridiculous thing.

But Zimu really didn't need to lie for Xue Yang.

Zimu pretended to be distressed and hesitated to say: "This..."

"It's okay, just tell me directly." Lan Qiren's tone was firm. He also wanted to know the whole story.

"It's hard for me to say." After Zi Mu finished speaking, a photo stone appeared in his hand. It was the one that Wen Ruohan used to look for Xue Yang for the first time.

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she was proud of having found a solution to the problem.

"Please check it yourself, uncle." Zimu handed the photo stone to Lan Qiren.

Lan Qiren input spiritual energy into the image stone, and the image appeared.

At first, it was the scenery of the Cloud Recesses, and soon the Yan Yang robe of the Wen family of Qishan appeared, followed by the face of Wen Ruohan.

Lan Qiren's expression became increasingly ugly as he listened to Wen Ruohan using candy to trick Xue Yang and assuring him that Xue Yang would not be punished, and then Xue Yang readily agreed.

His eyes were filled with anger and he was very dissatisfied with Wen Ruohan's behavior.

Thinking about how Wen Ruohan had asked him to shave many times before, but he had refused, he thought Wen Ruohan had given up.

I didn't expect Wen Ruohan would coax a child into doing such a ridiculous thing in this way.

Lan Qiren tightly grasped the image stone, a surge of anger rising in his heart.

"Uncle, don't be angry..."

Lan Qiren frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it. Since Xue Yang was bewitched, I will let him go this time. But this will not happen again. If it happens again, I will not let him off easily."

There was a hint of seriousness in Lan Qiren's eyes, letting Zimu know that he wasn't joking.

Zi Mu was delighted and said quickly: "Thank you, uncle. You are so generous. Xue Yang will definitely remember your teachings and will not dare to do it again."

Lan Qiren waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't just speak well of that kid. Go back and tell Xichen to manage the Lan family well and waive the family rules."

Zimu said respectfully: "Uncle, rest assured, Ah Huan will do his best to manage the Lan family. Uncle, you should also pay more attention to your health and don't get upset over these little things."

The concern in Zimu's eyes warmed Lan Qiren's heart.

"Well, go ahead." Lan Qiren nodded, indicating that Zimu could leave.

Zimu bowed again and turned to leave the pine room.

---------------------

Zimu first went to find Lan Xichen and told him that he was exempt from the family rules.

After hearing this, Lan Xichen breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Madam, thank you for your hard work. It is not easy for your uncle to show leniency.”

Zi Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled maliciously: "It's not that difficult, just wait and see how miserable Wen Ruohan will be."
