The Third Prince leaked the news unintentionally, which directly led to Ji Jiu, Zhang Dakuai and the other three not caring about Zhu Ying's fierce reputation, and bowed and said goodbye, saying that they had to go back to review their lessons, otherwise they would be worried about the division test. As for what they saw, heard and did today, they dared not reveal a single word.
Since they had sworn such an oath, Zhu Ying had kept them for a short while and was not afraid of leaking the news. She immediately asked the four people to leave a letter of guarantee and then let them go. But after they left, she became more and more puzzled, so she simply sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Shou. Not long after, she learned that Zhang Shou, who had already taken a bath, went to Daoxiang Village to meet the third and fourth princes.
"So, it was you, the Third Prince, who lied about the military intelligence and scared them away?"
After hearing the Fourth Prince's excited confession, Zhang Shou was both angry and amused, looking at the Third Prince, who he always thought was honest and well-behaved, from head to toe. Sure enough, under his gaze, the Third Prince soon couldn't stand it anymore, and said with his head down: "I heard them say that Xu Jiancheng set the questions, so I thought it was fun and made up the story that my father set the questions."
The fourth prince also immediately joined in the fun: "That's right, they don't study hard and always think about this and that. Third brother just wants to teach them a lesson! When they heard that it was father who asked the questions, they certainly didn't dare to make any small calculations anymore!"
Regardless of whether one looks well-behaved and the other looks flexible, they are essentially two bratty kids who deserve a beating! At such a young age, they dare to casually make up stories about their father behind his back. What will they do when they grow up? Including the one time yesterday, he has already beaten them twice, but it must be said that these two little guys only regard the emperor as their father, not the monarch.
After all, isn't it all because of the emperor's pampering? If he continues to pamper her, something bad will happen if she's not careful!
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, and his face became stern. Seeing his fierce face, the third prince was the first to feel that something was wrong, but the fourth prince, who was not in trouble this time, had not yet woken up. It was not until the third prince pulled the corner of his clothes hard that he, with his hair still wet, belatedly glanced at Zhang Shou's stern face, and then quickly stood still, but his eyes were still darting around.
However, this time, Zhang Shou did not intend to take over the teacher's duties to supervise the student. It was fine to supervise the student once or twice, and it was fine to supervise the student three or five times. However, supervising the student again and again was not about academic performance or conduct, but about the student's father. He would rather let the father worry about it! Therefore, he laughed and said lightly: "Hurry up and have someone dry his hair, otherwise he will catch a cold!"
"However, once Ji Jiu and his men return to the city, the news will surely spread. I must immediately report this to your father."
Seeing that Zhang Shou did not scold him, the Third Prince first breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that he would tell the Emperor, he was immediately shocked. The Fourth Prince originally thought that his brother had only made a small mistake and would at most be scolded like himself, but now when he heard that he would tell his father, he was also shocked, and before Zhang Shou turned around and walked out, he immediately rushed forward and opened his arms to block him.
"Teacher, Third Brother didn't mean it... He... Oh, he just heard me mumbling about how these guys are omnipresent, so he decided to play a joke on them... Yes, that's it!"
