Lan Yin Hall.

Yingyue came in hurriedly from outside and said anxiously, "My Lady, this is not good."

Lin Jiuqing rarely saw Yingyue so flustered, and his expression changed a little: "What's wrong?"

Yingyue pointed outside the door and said, "My lady, you should go and see for yourself."

Lin Jiuqing frowned, didn't dare to delay, and walked out.

When he got outside the door, he saw Mo Cheng'an kneeling upright on the ground with a bramble on his back.

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

When Mo Cheng'an saw Lin Jiuqing coming out, he immediately kowtowed and said word by word: "Yesterday I misunderstood the queen without knowing right from wrong, and I deserve to die."

"Your Highness has been so kind to me in raising me. I deserve death for making such assumptions about you."

"The queen has treated me with sincerity and kindness. My actions have hurt the queen's heart. I deserve to die."

Mo Chengan slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Jiuqing: "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Lin Jiuqing looked at him quietly for a while, then slowly walked forward and stood in front of him: "Do you know you are wrong?"

Mo Chengan: "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Lin Jiuqing said: "You don't know."

Mo Cheng'an was stunned and looked up at Lin Jiuqing with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"You said I treated you with sincerity, but what about you?" Lin Jiuqing said calmly, "If something happened, you could have come to ask me, but you didn't. You sentenced me without even asking."

"Mo Chengan, do you really know you are wrong?"

Mo Chengan was silent for a long time, and finally kowtowed again: "It's my fault, I understand now!"

"My Lady, I really understand. Please... forgive me."

Not only did Lin Jiuqing treat him like his own son, he also regarded Lin Jiuqing as his mother in his heart. However, Lin Qingqing's incident happened too suddenly, and he couldn't accept it for a while. His mind didn't turn around, so he made such a mistake.

He came today not because Lin Qingqing said she wanted to find Lin Jiuqing as a backer, but because he wanted to get Lin Jiuqing's forgiveness from the bottom of his heart. He was reluctant to let the fate between them end like this.

Lin Jiuqing looked at him for a moment, and finally reached out and pulled out a bramble from his back.

Yingyue, who was watching nearby, was startled and subconsciously shouted, "My Queen!"

This bramble is as thick as a human thumb. If you really use force to hit it, the Second Prince's small body will probably suffer a lot.

Lin Jiuqing glanced at Yingyue, and Yingyue immediately shut up and took a step back.

Lin Jiuqing looked at Mo Chengan who was kneeling on the ground again: "You made a mistake, and I am reluctant to forgive you, but I am also really hurt. Therefore, in order to prevent you from making the same mistake again and to calm my anger, this punishment is inevitable."

Mo Chengan bowed his head: "Please punish me, Madam!"

Lin Jiuqing tightened his grip on the bramble, paused for a moment, then raised his hand and pulled it away.

With a snap, the bramble fell on Mo Cheng'an, causing him to groan and his whole body twitched.

It was obvious that Lin Jiuqing really used all his strength this time.

Mo Chengan just swayed for a moment, then knelt firmly again and said in a deep voice: "Please punish me, Madam!"

Lin Jiuqing threw the bramble in his hand and said, "Since this is your first offense, let's forget about it."

Mo Chengan: "But..."

"What? Do you want to tire me to death?" Lin Jiuqing narrowed his eyes and rubbed his wrist.

Mo Chengan shut up instantly.

Lin Jiuqing was weak, and Mo Xiao was afraid that the chopsticks would press on her hands when they were eating. It was really embarrassing for her to use such great strength to hit someone.
