The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1859 I want to see those concubines

Shang tide corrected: "Half, half a sleeve, okay?"

Yu Hua didn't care whether it was one or half a bird; she just had to get it off her chest and told the whole story like beans spilling from a bamboo tube!

Cheng Youning understood now, and his first words were: "So my grandmother's family was so despicable."

Shang tide shook her head: "Don't say that in front of your grandmother!"

Cheng Youning nodded: "I know. I've known for a long time that my grandmother's family is not to be spoken of. My mother and father told me this before, and I haven't forgotten. Since the Han family is doomed, I don't need to avenge my mother. I'll just watch!"

Shang tide even saw a smile on Cheng Youning's face. Had her son grown up, or had his mind become gloomy?

Then Shang tide heard Cheng Youning speak again, "Hong Jiutong, how did your mother-in-law's sleeve disappear?"

This is an attitude of accountability!

Hong Jiutong knelt down with a thud: "It was when Mother was protecting me that someone ripped off her sleeve!"

Cheng Youning nodded knowingly, "As a daughter-in-law, you are unqualified! You should accept the punishment of reciting the 'Women's Precepts' a hundred times!"

Hong Jiutong said, "I accept the punishment!"

Cheng Youning continued, "Seeing that you have some filial piety and know to take care of your grandmother, I will not punish you by confining you to your quarters. You can go to the Prince's residence to take care of your grandmother these few days, and that will be your way of fulfilling your filial duty to me, the Crown Prince!"

"Yes!"

"Then go back and copy the Precepts for Women. I'm going to check it, so you have to copy it carefully."

"Yes, I will go back and copy the Precepts for Women." Hong Jiutong then looked at Shang tide: "Mother, I will take my leave now!"

Before Shang tide could speak, Cheng Youning waved her hand and said in a good mood, "Go!"

Upon hearing this, Shang tide realized that this was just an excuse to make trouble. This child hadn't grown up; he'd become more cunning. To put it bluntly, he held grudges! "Jiu Tong won't write it for him!"

Hong Jiutong, who had hurriedly walked out of the palace, heard her mother-in-law's voice. But if she didn't write down the precepts for women, the Crown Prince would definitely not let her off the hook! Rather than let the Crown Prince find ways to cause trouble for her, she would rather obediently go back and copy the precepts for women!

Seeing that the person who had complained had left, Cheng Youning's mood improved significantly. "If Mother has nothing else to do, I'll send someone to escort you back to the Prince's Mansion!"

"You were just saying you wanted to avenge your mother, and now you're kicking her out?"

Cheng Youning bit his lip. "I'm under house arrest, and I still have a few more copies of the 'Crown Prince's Instructions' to finish copying. It's best not to see any guests during this time! Mother, you should be able to understand your son!"

"Understand my foot! This child is afraid Shang tide will punish him, so he's trying to kick people out!" Shang tide is also stubborn; she won't leave until she finishes speaking: "Mother has three things to say today!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was beaten. Her mother had done three things, so Cheng Youning became wary. She stuck out her bottom and said pitifully, "Mother, my bottom hurts so much that I can't sit in the chair! I bet you used a bamboo stick to spank my bottom!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua pulled Cheng Youning up from the chair. "Let me see. Your mother doesn't know her own strength. She must have spanked you badly!"

Before Cheng Youning could react, her pants were pulled down from behind! Cheng Youning felt a chill on her buttocks and screamed in fright, pulling her pants up as she did so: "Yuhua, what are you doing!" Her hands were still tightly protecting her waistband!

Yu Hua saw it clearly at a glance and immediately offended Shang tide: "Shang tide, it's a good thing I came today, otherwise this child would have been beaten to a pulp by you."

"It's not as bad as you say!" Shang tide also saw the crisscrossing red welts on Cheng Youning's buttocks. She felt sorry for him, but if she didn't hit him hard, would the child realize his mistake? Shang Xi felt that she hadn't hit him enough.

Yu Hua's chest pounded with anger. "This is outrageous! You've practically turned this child's bottom into a fishing net! Didn't you see all those lines and welts?! Qiao Rong, hurry up and find some medicine!"

"Oh!" Qiao Rong was already stunned by the scene of Yu Hua pulling down the prince's pants. Hearing this, she snapped out of her daze and ran away!

Cheng Youning then pretended to be obedient and sensible, "Yuhua, I know my mother didn't really want to hit me. She was just angry. I don't blame her! But it seems like I can't sit on a stool anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Shang tide thought, "This child is really putting on an act. He was sitting steadily in the chair just now, but now he's starting to hold his back." Yu Hua, believing her, helped Cheng Youning up, saying, "Come on, let me help you to the bed!"

Cheng Youning hesitated, "That's not a good idea. My mother has three things to say!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua's anger flared up again! "Even if it's three hundred pieces, I won't allow her to lay a finger on you!"

Cheng Youning gave Yu Hua a grateful look. "Yu Hua, you raised me. You've always protected me since I was little, and I'll protect you in the future too!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua almost burst into tears.

Shang tide couldn't stand it anymore. "Don't rush to lie down yet. I'll leave after I finish telling you three things!"

Seeing that Yu Hua was there to support him, Cheng Youning knew his mother wouldn't dare do anything to him, so he stopped running away and said, "Mother, please speak!"

"First of all, you're not allowed to send Hong Jiutong to her parents' house anymore! If I find out, I'll punish you every time!"

"I understand!"

"Secondly, you mustn't spend all day training the dog, or I'll have it taken away!"

Cheng Youning became anxious, "Mom, don't take the dog away, I won't train it, okay?"

Shang tide said, "Training the dog is secondary; you're not allowed to do anything underhanded. I think you know what your mother means!"

"I know, Mother, you mustn't take Big Yellow away!"

"The third thing is to forbid the servants from drinking ink again!"

"Dai-tae complained?"

"Your mouth is always black, why bother reporting it? In the future, when you punish your servants, you must distinguish between public and private matters, recognize right from wrong, and never mistreat your servants!"

"I know, I know, I understand." As long as his mother doesn't hit him or take the dog away, he'll agree to anything without hesitation!

Shang tide said, "There's one last thing!"

Yu Hua got impatient: "You agreed on three things, but you've made it four! Is this never going to end?!"

"I want to see those concubines. I want to see who led the way in helping the Crown Prince copy the 'Crown Prince's Instructions'." Shang Xi didn't want any women with impure motives around Cheng Youning. Hong Jiutong's words and actions perfectly aligned with Shang Xi's wishes. At his age, the Crown Prince couldn't easily distinguish between good and bad people and was most easily led astray! Shang tide couldn't make decisions or interfere with Cheng Youning's marriage and concubine arrangements, but she could test whether these people were good or bad!

At this moment, Yu Hua, this stumbling block, came into play again. She said to Cheng Youning, "Go lie down on the bed. I'll go back with your mother. I'll come see you tomorrow!"

Yu Hua let go of Cheng Youning's hand and pulled Shang tide out.
