Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

Jing Xingzhi thought to himself that sooner or later, Li Jiarui would have to suffer. This little bastard wouldn’t relieve his anger without a few more punishments. Now he was beaten, but only once. Jing Xingzhi felt that he would have to be punished at least a few more times.

So Jing Xingzhi listened to the shouts outside, frowned, and said with a bad face, “If nothing else, Your Majesty, Xingzhi will go back.”

Li Yunxi was a little dumbfounded. Wasn’t it enough?

‘Junior brother, why are you so hot-tempered?’

However, Li Yunxi actually somewhat appreciated this temper. He liked to hear good words, but he knew that most good words were perfunctory. This kind of bad face felt quite refreshing to him.

“Okay, Zhang Tong, see him off.” Li Yunxi sighed and asked Zhang Tong to lead Jing Xingzhi out of the palace.

As soon as Li Yunxi finished speaking, Jing Xingzhi walked out of Kaiyang Palace with his head down.

But after leaving Kaiyang Palace, Jing Xingzhi’s walking pace slowed down, his head drooped, as if he was very unhappy.

Zhang Tong advised, “Young Master Jing, this is the first time the second prince has been beaten. Please calm down your anger.”

Jing Xingzhi glanced at him and thought to himself that he was waiting for another cry.

Li Jiarui, a naughty kid, did bad things. Could Ning Yongyuan, the instigator behind it, get away unscathed? Li Yunxi was an extremely smart person, and while it was one thing for him to beat Li Jiarui, he didn’t know the twists and turns behind it.

If Li Yunxi didn’t let the Yulin Guard’s investigate at the beginning, then it was normal for him not to know some things. But knowing everything from the investigation, Ning Yongyuan’s little tricks were obvious.

How could there is no evidence for Ning Yongyuan’s small tricks?

But if Li Yunxi wanted hit someone—did he still need evidence?

Power crushed others. As long as someone did bad things, he could do whatever he wanted to punish. Even if they didn’t do anything bad, the person above was the ruler and he could mess with others anytime.

Then, after walking a few steps, Jing Xingzhi heard Ning Yongyuan’s younger voice crying out in pain.

At this moment, Jing Xingzhi felt very happy.

‘If you don’t cause trouble, I won’t have a problem with you, little Marquis. Tell me, Comrade Xiao Ning (Ning Yongyuan), why do you insist on bullying me? Although I am a good person, I do not suffer in silence.’

Hearing the new cry of pain, Jing Xingzhi felt as if he had taken a tonic pill and his steps returned to normal.

After packing up his things in Xihe Palace, Jing Xingzhi returned to the house where he stayed in the capital.

The small house was not as big as the palace, but the land belonged to Jing Xingzhi, and the people here listened to Jing Xingzhi. After coming back, Jing Xingzhi’s feeling could only be expressed in one word – comfort.

.

Kaiyang Palace.

Li Jiarui was beaten twenty times and knelt on the white marble floor tiles in front of the hall.

Next to him was Ning Yongyuan, who was knocked unconscious.

Li Jiarui looked behind him, waiting for his mother concubine to save him.

If his father beat him unfairly, his mother concubine would definitely intervene.

But as the sun went down, Li Jiarui knelt until his legs were numb and his whole body was soaked with sweat. He didn’t see his mother, Concubine Zhong.

When Li Jiarui saw that almost an hour had passed, he turned to Kaiyang Palace with red eyes and shouted, “I don’t accept it! I did something wrong because I didn’t know.”

“The teacher has said that those who don’t know are not guilty. I don’t accept it!” Li Jiarui shouted, with a little more strength in his body due to his unyielding emotion.

Li Yunxi was upset after hearing this, and threw away the pen in his hand again: “Bring him in.”

Li Jiarui was brought into the hall by Zhang Tong, thinking that his “reasoning” was effective, and began to talk to Li Yunxi again.

Li Yunxi held his forehead and cursed, “You stupid thing!”

“You think I hit you because you stepped on the painting? This is just one of the reasons. The second is your stupidity!”

“Xingzhi did nothing wrong. But you went through other people’s luggage, and you stepped on other people’s paintings?” When Li Yunxi talked about this, he felt sorry for his junior brother again.

“Tell me, why did you do this?” Li Yunxi asked loudly, almost roaring with anger. It was clear that he was very furious.

Li Jiarui thought about it for a moment and said quietly, “I… It was Yongyuan who didn’t like him. I was venting the anger for Yongyuan! Father, why did you still hit Yongyuan like that? His health is not as good as mine.”

This time, Li Jiarui, who had gone too far and might have lost his mind, finally thought of Ning Yongyuan who had fainted.

Li Yunxi was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe.

Taking a breath, Li Yunxi gritted his teeth, pointed at Li Jiarui, and cursed, “You really can do it! Li Jiarui, you were scolded and punished, but you still helped others count the money?!”

“How could Yongyuan use me?!” Li Jiarui didn’t believe it, his eyes widened.

“Why can’t he use you? He is just a civet cat and a fake son. Your junior uncle is Ning Haibo’s biological son. Why do you think Ning Yongyuan wanted to harm him?”

Li Yunxi was furious, but Li Jiarui sat collapsed on the ground, unable to understand why he was being used by his friend who grew up with him…

He regarded Ning Yongyuan as his brother!

The next moment, Li Jiarui rushed out of Kaiyang Palace, pulled Ning Yongyuan’s collar, and shook Ning Yongyuan awake from the pain.

Because of the shaking, the wound on his butt rubbed against the ground. Ning Yongyuan gasped in pain as he regained consciousness.

Ning Yongyuan was weak from pain. He slowly opened his blurred eyes, only to see Li Jiarui’s angry face…

In his ears was Li Jiarui’s angry voice – “You are using me?!”
