The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 25 I never bear grudges, I always take revenge on the spot
Ma Xiuying's tone was very gentle.

But there was a hint of coldness in this gentleness.

This question from her did not allow Zhu Chong to compromise!
"Mother, I, I..."

Zhu Chong was trembling with fear and he stammered, unable to speak for a long time.

With so many eyes staring at him, especially since his father and mother were both extremely smart people, how could he dare to lie or quibble?

But if he were asked to admit it... he didn't have the courage.

Because the consequences of admitting it were unbearable for him! Just thinking about it made his breathing quicken and his teeth tremble!
At this moment, Zhu Chong felt extremely regretful...

It's no use to mess with that lunatic Zhu Ju. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!

"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I know everything."

Seeing Zhu Chong like this, how could Ma Xiuying not know the truth?
If Zhu Ju's accusation was false, given Zhu Chong's character he would have shouted to clear himself of the charges long ago. Why would he be so timid?

If you don’t say anything, it means you agree!
"hiss--"

"call--"

Ma Xiuying took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and tried her best to calm herself down.

However, she tried and found that she couldn't calm down.

"You bastard!"

Ma Xiuying's face twisted, she picked up a fire poker and hit Zhu Chong!

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

Zhu Biao: "!!!"

Given Zhu Chong’s current condition, his life would be in danger if he continues to fight!
"Girl, calm down!"

"Mom, please calm down!"

The two men quickly stepped forward and snatched the stick from Ma Xiuying's hand.

"Let go!"

Ma Xiuying rebuked,

"Xiaojuzi is only back in the palace for the first day! How dare you have such evil thoughts!"

She pushed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao away, pointed at Zhu Chong and angrily said,
"Do you know how much suffering he has endured outside? He is your brother! Why did you do this? Why!"

"If he is really stupid, you can succeed! But what can you gain by doing this? Is it fun? Tell me! Is bullying your stupid brother what you are capable of?"

"Zhu Chong, let me tell you, this is something that even animals wouldn't have the heart to do! How could you do it! How could you do such a thing! Why did God give you such a human skin! I...I must beat you to death today!"

Snapped!
Ma Xiuying was so angry that she slapped Zhu Chong in the face!
"what!"

Zhu Chong's body was already covered with wounds, and coupled with the mental pressure, he was already on the verge of collapse. Although Ma Xiuying's slap was not heavy, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He just screamed, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

"Second!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Chong fainted, he rushed forward and hugged Zhu Chong, pinching his philtrum with his fingernails while shouting,
"Quickly, send the imperial doctor!"

At the command, several imperial guards ran out quickly.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked at Ma Xiuying, and couldn't help but said,

"Even if it was the second brother who had evil intentions in this matter, the sixth brother has already taken revenge! Look at the second brother, isn't it miserable enough?"

"If you sow evil seeds, you will reap evil fruits. He has already borne the fruits of his evil deeds. Why should you do anything else?"

"Really..."

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Chong, whose eyes were closed and whose face was pale, and finally felt a little sympathy for him. Her anger also subsided for the most part, and she regained some rationality.

"I just can't get enough..."

She sighed, frowned and said,
"If it was just a normal joke between brothers, even if it was a little excessive, I wouldn't be so angry."

"The second brother's motive is too bad. He went there just because Xiaojuzi is a mentally retarded child and bullied him. Bullying the weak for fun, is that what a good person would do?"

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, it's so abominable, bullying a weak, pitiful and helpless me!"

He echoed from behind Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened. "That's enough! You are still weak, pitiful and helpless!"

Old Zhu said angrily,
"You've caused enough trouble today! Even if you are somewhat right, you can't be so excessive!"

"Let's be merciful. Look at what your second brother has been beaten into. And the eighth brother..."

"You just scolded me!"

"How could we have a son like you? You are such a devil!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a moment of regret for bringing Zhu Ju back from Sanqing Mountain.

This kid is not stupid, but he is too crazy! He made such a big mess on his first day home. I don’t know how to make him angry in the future!
Zhu Ju immediately shrank his head and hid behind Ma Xiuying.

"Come on, let's be merciful... Chongba, do you admit that his temperament is similar to yours?"

Ma Xiuying rolled her eyes and said unhappily,

"If you were bullied by someone else, you would retaliate tenfold or a hundredfold, right? Don't I know how petty you are and how you will take revenge for any slight offense?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared.

"How come you're talking about me..."

But don’t say it…

The girl is right. With his temper, he would never tolerate such a thing!

Double the revenge, that's for sure!

"This matter ends here."

Ma Xiuying concluded,
"This incident started with the second brother, he should be severely punished!"

"But considering that he has already suffered the consequences, I will not punish him any further."

"Let the imperial physician apply medicine to him and heal his body first. After that, I will arrange for someone to specially train his mind."

"As a prince, you must be upright and honest, and never bully the weak."

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao heard this, they both nodded in agreement.

"Little Orange, don't hold a grudge. You are brothers after all."

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Ju and advised gently,

"Your second brother was also possessed by a ghost for a while. Mother promises you that she will teach him a lesson. Things like today will never happen again!"

Zhu Ju grinned.

"Okay, anyway, I've had a good fight and my Tao heart is stable."

He said carelessly,

"I never bear grudges. If I have a grudge, I always take it on the spot."

Ma Xiuying: “…”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

The emperor, empress, and Zhu Biao all fell into silence.

This style of doing things... is hard to comment on!
"As for Lao Ba, he should have been punished, but as Xiaojuzi said, you took revenge on the spot, so I will not punish him any further."

Ma Xiuying sighed and said helplessly,

"I will issue an imperial decree to Concubine Ding, explaining the whole story and asking her to discipline her son! She has always been too indulgent, which is why the Eighth Prince has such evil intentions and courage at such a young age."

"Don't do evil, no matter how small it is! I think I should arrange a class when I have time to focus on the thoughts of the emperor's children!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.

"You're right, we should catch him."

He said,

"We have been busy with government affairs recently and have neglected to discipline the children, so some bad signs have emerged."

"We must nip this in the bud and curb this unhealthy trend!"

After saying that, Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Ju.

"Okay, let's not talk about the second and eighth brothers for now."

"What should we do with this kid?"
