As a result, the old father hit even harder, with a swish, landing on his arm again.
Little Fatty dared to dodge, but Ye Qingqing did not, kneeling in place, and as the father hit the eldest son, he also struck the second daughter, though fewer times~
The main target was the reckless eldest son.
"Ye Haoming, if you dare to dodge again, then in the future, don’t come back if you have the guts. Stand properly."
Ye Feng, infuriated, his face twisted, shouted, determined to teach him a lesson.
Initially dodging, Little Fatty stood still, moved to his sister’s side, pressed his lips together, and remained silent, accepting the punishment together.
The swishing sound of the hits fell on the two of them, and no one made a noise.
At this moment.
Two young men, one in blue and one in green, entering with grace, walking into the hall, witnessed this scene.
Ye Lin approached his younger sister unnoticed by the others, bent slightly and whispered softly: "Ah Zhi, what’s going on, isn’t today your birthday party? What’s all the commotion about?"
Tsk tsk, the beaten one fat and one thin, their tears couldn’t stop flowing, yet they stubbornly refused to wipe them away, the tears just kept falling.
Even the troublemakers have their day today, what happened?
While gloating, he also wanted to understand the truth of the matter.
Rolling her eyes at her elder brother, who relished in the spectacle, Ye Zhi responded softly and crisply, "These two insulted the current Eldest Prince, speaking disrespectfully, so, our Second Uncle is enforcing the family rules. Brother, you weren’t here just now, the scene was very intense, and our eldest cousin was just dodging Second Uncle’s stick before Second Uncle got angry, and then he calmed down."
Glancing at the young man in green beside them, she continued to her brother, "Brother, your first schoolmate came to our house and encountered such an incident, you should explain it well later, lest he gets a bad impression of our family."
She had seen Sun Xuan before and nodded and smiled slightly in acknowledgment.
The dainty, beautiful little girl showed a graceful slight smile, which was exceedingly lovely!
The young man in green politely nodded and smiled in return.
Ye Lin sighed softly, lazily saying: "These two are destined to face a tribulation. But how come Ah Zhi is so impressive, last time she made friends with a Little Princess, and this time she made a friend with a Prince and even brought him home, my little sister is really something."
The little girl being praised grinned, was her brother saying she has a good social life?
Somewhat embarrassed, she explained: "Not at all, actually, as long as you sincerely make friends, and if your personalities happen to match, it isn’t much of a problem."
Her small face was full of pride.
Standing beside them, the eldest sister noticed their whispering and tapped her younger sister’s forehead with her forefinger: "What’s there to be proud of, I am the Fourth Aunt to both of them, and also the Fourth Aunt to all the Princes and Princesses in the Imperial Palace."
The Fourth Prince, Prince Jin, and the reigning Emperor Jingping are biological brothers. As the Fourth Princess Consort, Ye Fu, according to seniority, all the princesses and princes in the palace should call her Fourth Aunt.
Emperor Jingping is inherently suspicious, having little affection for his brothers, maintaining his throne by shedding much brothers’ blood, essentially paving his way to the throne over corpses. The Crown Prince set by the late Emperor wasn’t him, but rather the Eighth Prince, and on his path to seize the throne, he lost much kinship. The reason Prince Jin remains the Fourth Prince is that he doesn’t wield military power, his wealth isn’t staggering, and being an unambitious prince poses no threat.
Otherwise, even for a biological brother, he wouldn’t spare any mercy.
In the court, the existing are the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, Tenth Prince, and Nineteen Prince.
These individuals remain, spared by Emperor Jingping’s leniency, as brothers devoid of threatening power.
