At this moment, the door opened, and Bai Xilie came out with the Imperial Guard.
Bai Zhi’er immediately jumped up and trotted over.
"Daddy, are you done? Can you take Zhi’er to eat now?"
Bai Xilie smiled and picked up the little one.
"I’m done, did I make our Zhi’er wait too long?"
Bai Zhi’er puffed up her little cheeks and said earnestly, "I’m afraid some snacks might sell out. If they can’t see Zhi’er, they might be unhappy~"
Bai Xilie laughed heartily and hugged the little one tightly: "Alright, let’s go now."
"But Zhi’er, wait a bit longer for daddy. There are still a few trivial matters at the academy. Once I finish instructing them, we will go."
Bai Zhi’er nodded obediently.
Only to see Bai Xilie turn around and look at the people kneeling before him.
They all heard the conversation between Bai Zhi’er and Bai Xilie just now, and now couldn’t help but tremble.
Especially Gao Qianqian, she nearly bit through her lower lip.
This little girl she mocked and bullied was actually the Emperor’s only child!
The Eldest Young Master Wang, Wang Xuanwen, who had just spoken arrogantly, was also kneeling honestly, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
Bai Xilie initially wanted to give everyone a good beating.
But time was tight today, and he had to entertain his daughter, so he temporarily spared their lives.
"Bullying the Princess, oppressing the people, such behavior is due not only to your own vile nature but also to the teacher’s negligence."
"Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for the court to send new teachers to instruct you in etiquette and conscience."
"As for everyone present today, I have already noted your family backgrounds. If you make mistakes again, and I find out, both old and new faults will be punished, with no leniency!"
The group hurriedly kowtowed and exclaimed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy! Thank you, Princess, for your grace!"
Everyone clearly understood that when the Emperor said he remembered them, it was no different from having their names on King Yama’s Book of Life and Death.
Bai Xilie set aside his stern expression, turned to embrace Bai Zhi’er, and smiled, saying, "This morning, daddy will stay with Zhi’er, and you can eat whatever you want."
"Hmm! I want candied haws, sugar cakes, and date paste pastries!" Bai Zhi’er counted on her little fingers.
Bai Xilie chuckled softly, "We’ll buy, two of each."
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes sparkled like stars: "Right, daddy, did you finish talking with that teacher?"
"Yes, we communicated well, Zhi’er, don’t worry. They know their mistakes, and they won’t bully others anymore."
"Daddy is amazing!" The little one wrapped her arms around her father’s neck, her voice sweet and adorable.
Halfway there, Bai Xilie remembered that his third nephew was still around.
He turned back and called, "Yaoyu, you should come along too."
Bai Yaoyu naturally picked up the brocade robe laid on the stone bench and turned to leave.
As he passed by Fang Youzhen, he glanced at her sideways.
"Wang Xuanwen is not a good person. If you don’t like him, you should sever ties with the Wang Family as soon as possible," Bai Yaoyu said with pursed lips.
Fang Youzhen was taken aback, not expecting him to say that.
She wasn’t the type to be shy, so she just agreed with a hum and then said sternly, "I’ll handle it myself."
Bai Yaoyu didn’t say any more and left straightaway.
Although the Emperor’s entourage had left, those three Imperial Guards were still there.
No one dared to stand up.
They could only watch as the Imperial Guards entered the house and dragged out two people covered in blood.
Master and Second Master had been beaten so badly that they were almost unrecognizable!
Gao Qianqian, anxious, quickly stood up: "Dad!"
But the Imperial Guards took out two sacks and directly put the unconscious Master and Second Master inside to take them away.
Gao Qianqian reached out to grab the Imperial Guard’s sleeve: "You can’t leave! Where are you taking my dad!"
