If not abolished

Chapter 194 Beaten

After Guo's mother and son left, Zhu Zhanjun whispered, "Pretending and hypocritical."

Zhu Zhanyin, who was standing next to him, said, "Second brother, how can you say that?"

"Am I wrong? I'm not as easy to talk to as you and my mother. I can't be convinced by a few fake apologies."

"It's originally a small matter, why do you have to be so fussy about it, second brother? Besides, Xiao Kai has come here in person to apologize, what else do you want, second brother? The thing has already happened, can we make it even if Xiao Kai is also injured?" Zhu Zhanyin really didn't understand his eldest brother's thoughts.

Zhu Zhanjun was already angry, and when he heard what Zhu Zhanyin said, he could no longer control his voice and shouted, "I am petty and want to make a big deal out of it. That's how you think of me. Who is your real brother? You think so badly about Zhu Zhanyin. You might as well be Empress Guo's son." Zhu Zhanjun was so angry that he lost his mind and spoke without thinking, and actually said such things.

Because he spoke these words very loudly, Concubine Li naturally heard them, "Zhanjun, kneel down!" Zhu Zhanjun then came to his senses and realized what nonsense he had said. He knelt down immediately, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

“Mother, my second brother was just confused for a moment, you…” Zhu Zhanyin immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Who asked you to beg for mercy?" Zhu Zhanjun was still very arrogant at this time.

"Very good. It's getting late. Zhanyin, you take Zhan'ao back to rest first. You have to get up early to attend classes tomorrow." Seeing this, Concubine Li let the other two brothers go first.

"Mother..." Zhu Zhanyin still wanted to stay.

"You're not listening either, are you?" Concubine Li said sternly.

Zhu Zhanyin also realized that his mother was really angry this time, and he didn't dare to disobey for a moment. He had to take Zhu Zhan'ao away first, thinking that his second brother could only wish for good luck this time. He would go back and prepare some medicine for his second brother. What if his mother got angry and beat him up?

"Then my son will take his leave first." Zhu Zhanyin looked at Zhu Zhanjun reluctantly.

Zhu Zhanjun lowered his head, as if he had accepted his fate.

After Concubine Li and the others left, she immediately said to the palace servants beside her: "Everyone, go down. If I hear a word about what happened today, I will hold you accountable."

"Yes." The palace servants rarely saw the concubine lose her temper like this, and fearing that they would be implicated, they walked out quickly.

Zhu Zhanjun lowered his head and didn't hear any movement for a long time. He felt uneasy and couldn't help but raise his head. He saw Concubine Li holding a feather duster in her hand. It turned out that she was going to find the guy who beat him.

Concubine Li walked straight to him without saying a word, waving a feather duster and preparing to hit him. Zhu Zhanjun was so scared that he immediately closed his eyes. After several seconds, he did not feel the expected pain, and felt strange. He opened his eyes and saw that the feather duster had hit him.

"Hiss." It happened again. He should have thought of it earlier. His mother had been beating him like this since he was a child. She deliberately didn't hit him right away, but waited until he relaxed his guard before hitting him. Or maybe it was too long since he was beaten. He forgot that even though his mother looked gentle and kind, every time she beat her son, he always had the illusion that his mother was born in a military family.

Concubine Li hit him on the back again and again, and Zhu Zhanjun twitched.

"I told you not to talk nonsense. You speak without thinking and act impulsively every day..." He cursed while beating Concubine Li.

Zhu Zhanjun did not refute and just took it, counting the blows. There were still about thirty or forty of them. Only then did Concubine Li stop, thinking that she was tired.

"You'd better teach me a lesson, or I won't just give you a few smacks next time. Do you understand?"

"Hear...I heard it." Zhu Zhanjun curled up in pain.

"louder!"

"I understand." Zhu Zhanjun raised his head and answered loudly.
