“Are there still any students in the school now?” Fu Qiuning asked Jin Zhuan, hearing him say that all the other students were still in class, and the teacher was also there. She rubbed her clenched fist and said softly, “I understand. You go back and watch over the young master. Yu Jie, select two boys to accompany Jin Zhuan. If he can’t walk because he has knelt too much, carry him back.”

“Madam, when has Elder Brother ever gone through this kind of suffering? I don’t know how long he still has to kneel there..,” said Yu Jie anxiously, with tears falling down her face. “Besides, the children in the school all hate him in their hearts, so if we don’t bring him back now, won’t the little white-eyed wolves will take advantage of the situation and throw rocks down the well? ”

Fu Qiuning let out a long sigh, shaking her head, “Do you think I do not know? The truth is that my heart also feels like it is being stewed in a frying pan, but what can be done? Feng’er was the one who made the first move. No matter what, the fault is on him. I heard from Jin Zhuan, that Brother Yi has been messing with him for more than 3 days. Children have the shortest memories. Feng’er should have first ignored him and washed his hands clean of the matter long ago. However, while he was persevering, behind the scenes, it is hard to guarantee that the adults are not secretly fanning the flames. If that is really the case, then this time, this matter is not easy to deal with. ”

“That… then what can we do? Madam, should we just let those people reverse what is black and white? Although Elder Brother Feng’er is intelligent, his nature is calm and he will not loudly defend himself…” Yu Jie said while crying, whimpering, “Now I really understand why Madam did not want to provoke the young marquis, why you refused to move into the inner court even until your death. It has not even been half a month since we moved to Elegant Mansion, and yet such a thing has happened, how… how can we continue to live on in the future..? Woohoohoo…”

Fu Qiuning smiled tragically, stroked the teacup in her hand, shook her head and said, “Once you enter the estate gates, it is as deep as the sea. Stepping into this deep and wide courtyard, except for holding on, what else can I do? Fortunately, this male of mine can still be considered extremely smart, so he won’t let those few women play around with him in the palms of their hands.”

As she talked, she took a sip of tea and whispered to Yu Jie, “Go, have two servant boys follow Jin Zhuan. The teacher usually treats Feng’er very well, and he should also understand his character, so I expect that he won’t punish him too harshly. I asked Aunt Yu to prepare the medicinal wine here, so when you come back, rub it on his knees. It is still warm these days, this should not leave any roots of illnesses in him.”

Seeing Fu Qiuning talking, Yu Jie’s eyes were a little dazed and she knew that her heart was also a mess at the moment. Thinking of what she just said, she was afraid that she would not be able to deal with it, so she didn’t dare to disturb her and led Jin Zhuan along to depart.

Indeed, after two hours, Jin Changfeng came back with a big green splotch on his knee. Fu QIuning was not able to stop her tears from falling after pulling up his pants legs and taking a look at them.

Ever since the two children have followed her, because they have been steeped in bitter water, they were extremely understanding even when they were still little. Having grown up so much, Qiuning has not even flicked them with a finger yet, because they simply did not need to be disciplined by her. But unexpectedly, he received such a big punishment in school that day. Kneeling on the bluestone slab floor for two hours, for a nine-year-old child, is indeed very harsh.

“Why couldn’t you hold your temper down? What’s the point of arguing with that kind of bastard?” Yu Jie, Aunt Yu and Jian Feng could not help but cry. Yu Jie rambled on the side, “Just what was this for this time? There were so many other incidents in the past, but didn’t you endure all of them too?”

Jin Changfeng pursed his lips, his handsome little face still holding a trace of anger. It could be seen that this time, Jin Zhenyi had really touched on who knew what reverse scale he had. Otherwise, this child would never become that angry.

“Mother.” When Qiuning put away the medicinal wine, he suddenly opened his mouth. His big eyes looked at Qiuning, his gaze clear, “Give me a beating, use a cane, beat me until I bleed.”

Yu Jie, Aunt Yu and Jian Feng were aghast. Right as they were about to reply, Fu Qiuning waved her hand and said softly, “All of you, withdraw.”

The three of them did not want to leave, but they knew that they could not do anything for the young master, and only Qiuning could make him say what was in his heart. So, they had no choice but to retreat.

Back there, Fu Qiuning straightened up, sat on the couch and slowly wrapped her arms around Changfeng, asking softly: “Why do I have to beat you? To show your father? To let him know that I have already punished you, so that you can escape father’s punishment?”

“No.” Jin Changfeng replied unhesitantly. His big eyes were a little red, just looking at Qiuning, but he refused to speak anymore.

“If it is not for your own sake, then it should be for Mother’s sake. You are afraid that your father will blame Mother for not educating you well, so you want to let Mother beat you, so that when your father looks at you, he will think that Mother knows how to teach her children, and it is only that you don’t know how to behave. Am I right?”

Jin Changfeng lowered his head, but still refused to speak. Fu Qiuning sighed and hugged him, “It was your fate that you were born into this noble estate. Even if you don’t work on these mind tricks, you would also be forced to play mind tricks. But your father is so smart, do you think that these little tricks can fool him?”

Jin Changfeng’s body shivered. The originally straight body finally collapsed softly in Qiuning’s arms, and a single teardrop fell on Qiuning’s hand.

“What are you crying for? The schemes you play can’t fool your father, so do you think the tricks that others play can fool him? Alright now, don’t cry, Father and Mother are here. Feng’er is Father’s and Mother’s precious treasure. During the time that your wings have not grown firm yet, Father and Mother will shield you from the wind and rain with our big wings. Mother knows that you are absolutely not one of those delinquent, arrogant and domineering children. Come, tell Mother, in the end, what did Brother Yi say? What made you move your hands this thoughtlessly? You have already been in the school for more than half a year, so why did you lose your temper today?”

“Mother, will Father really be partial to us?” Jin Changfeng tilted up his little face to look at Fu Qiuning and saw her smile and say, “Not being partial, your father is the smartest. You are all his children, all his sweethearts, he will not favour any one of you and he will be very fair. Who should be at fault, is who should confess first. Tell Mother now, why did you do it?”

“Brother Zhenyi insulted Mother.”

Jin Changfeng sullenly let out those words, thought a bit more and spat out hatefully, “He said that mother’s Chastity Proving Dust, was not because of Father…”

Stopping there, he could not continue.

Fu Qiuning’s body trembled, finally understanding why this Jin Changfeng, who had always been calm and introverted, became so impulsive this time.

With a tiny cold laugh, she sat up straight, slowly let go of Jin Changfeng’s body, held his ice-cold little hand instead and said to herself, “I see. Xu’shi ah Xu’shi, in any case, you are also one who has come from a noble mansion, so how could you be so stupid? Do you not understand Lord Husband at all? This is you seeking your own death, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

“Mother…” Jin Changfeng held Fu Qiuning’s hand and looked at her with some confusion. But she smiled gently, stroked his hair and said, “It’s alright, when your father comes back, let’s watch a good show. Feng’er, don’t be afraid, Father will make the decision for us.”

Hearing Fu Qiuning say so, Jin Changfeng set down the boulder in his heart. He finally felt the heart-piercing pain from his knee and could not help but moan softly.

As the fresh brushed by his face, Jin Fengju walked on the road, feeling quite pleased.

This time, the ones attending the get-together were not ordinary noblemen, but some learned great scholars. Otherwise, with his yet-to-be-healed leg injury, why would he want to attend that banquet? With his current position, except for the emperor, who else could force him to do things that he did not want to do?

Among these great scholars, several students were also Jin Fengju’s classmates back in those days, so he invited them over. He also admired the literary talent of those people and happily attended, but in the beginning, he found that several of the great scholars didn’t think much of him. Indeed, the rich and powerful children of noble families have always been despised by these great scholars who flaunt their moral superiority.

However, after some conversation, those people could not help but be impressed by this rich and powerful son, and after the banquet started, they had already turned into a group of people who were happy and joyful, just like the reunion of old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Jin Fengju did not dare to say that he regards achievements as manure, since he actually still cares a lot about them. After all, they were related to the glory of the whole family. But being able to obtain these great scholars’ affirmation and appreciation, how would he, who was ultimately a teenager at heart, not feel even a bit pleased?

So, he inevitably downed a few more cups at the banquet inevitably, but fortunately, after leaving the palanquin and feeling the breeze, his mind sobered up a bit…

Sounds of “bing bing bang bang” were still coming out from the residences at the edges of the Jing Dukedom, and Jin Ming smiled and said, “The Second Old Master’s residence is almost finished. Master has not yet seen it yet, do you want to take a look?”

Jin Fengju laughed and said, “My legs are a bit sore now, so it’s better to hurry back to the Elegant Mansion. The matters over at Second Uncle’s side are his own concern. Father will also help with the busywork when he has nothing to do, so what business do I have, going there to point things out?”

As they chatted, they walked into the Jing Dukedom. When they arrived at the study, they heard the boy say that the Grand Master was in the Second Old Master’s residence. So, he went towards the inner court, and just after entering the gates, he saw a maid pounce over, dripping with pearly tears. Before she even got close, the sound of crying almost shook the sky, “Woohoohoo… Young Duke, quickly, please go see Young Master Zhenyi.”

Jin Fengju felt that the tiny bit of wine left in his head was blown away by this howl, His heart flipped with a “thump” and he quickly asked in a stern voice, “What happened with Zhenyi? Tell me quickly.”

“Our young master… woohoohoo… was almost beaten to death by young master Changfeng. Master, quickly go see. The concubine is crying like a weeping statue, young master Zhenyi’s head keeps bleeding, and the entire Calling Crane Pavilion is in a mess, woohoohoo…”

Jin Fengju couldn’t help but exchange looks with Jin Ming. Then he had a flash of sternness in his eyes and said woodenly, “Alright, I understand, I am heading to Calling Crane Pavilion.” After he finished speaking, he moved his feet towards the Calling Crane Pavilion while the little maid hurriedly followed behind.

In Calling Crane Pavilion, at that time, Xu’shi really was crying until her eyes were red and swollen. Looking at her son’s head, decorated with several blood trails, looking somewhat hideous, she asked with heartache, “Son, does it hurt? It’s all Mother’s fault, this wound is also too big.”
