"This..." The butler was already sweating profusely.
Prince Jing, upon seeing this, immediately understood the butler’s concern and roared in anger, slamming the table, "How foolish, a lenient mother will spoil a child!"
Back in the day, he himself was also known as the young Overlord of the capital city, the darling whom everyone doted on.
However, he had not missed out on learning anything that should be learned, because this was a cultivation every member of the Royal Family must acquire.
Although he didn’t strive for that position and didn’t need to learn too finely, there were some things that one must understand and be capable of.
Now, Prince Jing was beginning to doubt; he was certainly not stupid, so why did heaven give him a foolish son?
Moreover, a stubborn one who refused to change despite numerous teachings!
Others said he was a child blessed with good fortune. When he was born, he supposedly brought great luck to Dongyue, and some even rumored that it was precisely because the Crown Prince of Prince Jing spent all the good fortune for the common people at his birth that he became so dull now.
But Prince Jing didn’t believe such nonsense.
Once Prince Jing stepped in, the Princely Heir was quickly found and brought back.
When the Princess Consort of Prince Jing returned, the Princely Heir was in the midst of receiving a beating with rods in the main hall, his palms already swollen and red.
To think that Zi Yan had just returned today, and she had been looking for an opportunity to let mother and son see each other for a while; yet in the blink of an eye, the Prince had beaten the boy. How distressed Zi Yan must feel in her heart!
As a mother who was already protective of her child, the Princess Consort of Prince Jing naturally became even more fiercely protective at this moment.
Looking at the woman before him, if she weren’t the Chief Consort bestowed by imperial decree, Prince Jing would have wished to divorce her hundreds, even thousands of times to vent his anger.
They say a lenient mother will spoil a child, and today he had witnessed it firsthand.
"Madam Liu, if you truly want to harm him, then keep protecting him . Do you really think a fool who knows nothing would qualify to inherit the throne?" Prince Jing swept out of the room with his sleeves flapping.
The Princess Consort of Prince Jing stood there dumbfounded, "Nanny, what does he mean by that?"
Nanny Liu felt a jolt in her heart as well and hurriedly advised, "Princess Consort, in fact, the Prince is also doing this for the Princely Heir’s own good. You... you should try to understand."
Although the Prince was somewhat wild when he was younger, he never missed a single lesson. Even if he wasn’t the most outstanding, among the numerous Princes, he was still among the upper middle rank.
But the current Crown Prince, both in temperament and intelligence, indeed does not resemble a lord at all!
As Prince Jing left the Royal Residence, the maidservant by Princess Consort Jing’s side also followed him out. She only dared to trail behind from a distance and did not dare to approach him.
Prince Jing crooked his finger, and when she approached, he finally spoke, "What is it, speak."
"Well... The Princess Consort went to the city gate today. Madam Mo has returned, and I especially came to report this," the maidservant said, her eyes brimming with allure, bashfully communicating with a halting speech.
"I am aware," Prince Jing scoffed coldly, "I will order your indenture contract to be released. From now on, stay far from me, don’t let me see you in the capital city."
"Prince..." The maidservant was panicked and flustered, but Prince Jing showed no mercy as he walked away.
A disloyal thing like her, presuming to come and tattle, thinking that I would take pity on her?
And then there’s that woman, the Princess Consort - not only is she not clever, but she also doesn’t appreciate what she has even though she is protected by me and no one can touch her.
Looking at these people, one after another, even those by her own side can’t stay in their place. If it weren’t for my clear mind, that woman would ruin herself!
The more he thought, the more annoyed he became, and Prince Jing unconsciously took a detour.
At the entrance of the War Prince Residence, Sikong Mo happened to be stepping out. Seeing Prince Jing and remembering his relationship with Ye Jiu, he immediately saluted Prince Jing before mounting his horse.
