In the main hall, Chu Zhennan was sitting on the seat of honor with an ugly expression on her face. Chu Mengdie was standing behind Madame Bai with her head bowed, and Aunt Du was sitting at the door with a stoic expression on her face. Chu Mengyue looked at Chu Zhennan with some fear as she curled up in her arms.

And today, Madame Liu had been sent out to inspect the shop under the Prime Minister's name, but it wasn't in the palace.

Chu Mengli looked at the expressions of everyone in the room and lowered her head to drink a mouthful of tea. It was time for the show to begin.

"I am not angry? Look at your daughter. "

Madame Bai's face turned pale. "I was in the wrong, it was my lack of discipline."

"Oh, what happened today? Why are they all gathered in the front hall? " Aunt Liu had a charming smile on her slender face as she walked in. When she saw the room full of people kneeling on the floor with pale faces, her smile immediately vanished.

"Shuang'er, what's wrong with you?" Why are you kneeling on the ground? " Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward and crouched in front of Chu Mengshuang, a little anxious.

Chu Zhennan laughed coldly, "What happened? This is your good daughter? "You still refuse to admit to stealing from your little sister? You're so vicious. You almost took Li Ling's life, yet you still act so arrogantly and speak obscenities."

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes and understood what was going on. In the past, Chu Mengshuang had tried to rob Chu Mengli quite a few times, and even returned some things to her. With Chu Zhennan's words, how could she not understand?

"Master, Shuang'er has always been a good girl, how could she do such a thing!" This must be someone framing Shuang'er! Master! You must avenge Shuang'er! " Aunt Liu's sharp voice cried out as she hugged Chu Zhennan's leg. It was as if she had been wronged to the extreme.

"Humph!" Chu Zhennan kicked her away, "I personally heard her say that I personally saw her steal it, could it be that I'm framing her?"

After being kicked, Aunt Liu gave a howl and didn't dare say another word. She was afraid that she would add fuel to the fire, so she could only look at Madame Bai as if she was begging for help.

Madame Bai glared at her. "Old master, don't be angry. Sit down first. If there's anything, we can discuss it slowly." He helped Chu Zhenan back to his chair and handed him a cup of tea.

"Shuang'er is still young after all, so she doesn't understand much." It was also my mother's fault. He didn't discipline her well. Besides, Shuang'er is usually very obedient and pleasant. This could just be a moment of hot-headedness. Please forgive her this time! She knows she's wrong. "

After saying that, she hurriedly gave a meaningful glance at Chu Mengshuang who was kneeling on the ground.

Chu Mengshuang took a few steps forward after receiving Mrs Bai's gaze, "Yes, I know it's the wrong father, please forgive me!" I really know I was wrong. " He kowtowed as he spoke.

"That's right!" Father! Third sister already knows her wrongs. Since she's still young, you should forgive her this time! " Chu Mengdie gently said.

Chu Zhennan drank a mouthful of tea and the anger in his heart disappeared. He looked at Chu Mengshuang's bruised forehead and his pitiful appearance. When he thought back to his usual loveliness, he sighed inwardly. Although he didn't really love her, she was still his daughter after all. His heart softened a little.

Chu Mengli saw the change in Chu Zhennan's expression and knew that Chu Zhennan's heart softened a bit. He had set up this trap and it was not as simple as just getting the treasures back. Chu Mengshuang would have to pay a price for it.

Chu Zhennan could not make up his mind. The punishment was too severe as it was too light for him to bear, but he was also afraid of wronging Chu Mengli. He could not help but look in her direction.

Chu Mengli lowered her head and felt Chu Zhennan's gaze. She carelessly used her hand to brush her bangs, revealing the pale pink scar on her forehead.

Chu Zhennan looked at the scar and thought back to what Zhong Xia had said about Chu Mengli almost losing her life. The fire in his heart immediately flared up again. That's right, Li'er's mother died too early, and I did my best to take care of her and the child almost died. I can see that the little girl must have suffered a lot in the past few years. No matter how weak Chu Mengshuang was, she still had her own mother to blame. But my little lass has no mother at such a young age, shouldn't she be bullied for nothing?

"Shuang lass, I am too disappointed with you. You should go to the Serene Temple and stay there for a few days! when you know when you're wrong and when you're coming back. "

"Meditation?"

Chu Mengshuang and Aunt Liu cried out in alarm.

The Serenity Temple outside the city was where the nuns went, and the families would only send the women who had committed a great sin or were unfaithful to the ways of the women there. The nuns would go to the nun's house, the nuns would go to the nun's house, the nuns would go to the nun's house, the nuns would go to the nun's house, and the nuns would go to the nun's house.

"Father, I'm not going." Chu Mengshuang shouted and then kneeled in front of Chu Zhennan, crying bitterly, "Father, I was wrong, I really know my wrongs. Please, please don't send me to the monastery, if you send me there, my daughter's life will be ruined. "I'm just too angry that I stole fourth sister's things. I'm also your daughter, but I feel that my father loves her dearly. He's just unwilling to give her anything good that he wants …"

"Third sister is so muddle-headed. Fourth sister has never been well since she was young. It's only natural for father to care about her. You shouldn't have been jealous!" Chu Mengdie said with a pained heart. The back of your hand is full of flesh, how can your father not love you? "You're really confused this time."

"I know, I know I was wrong. I just hope that Father can forgive me this time and give me a chance to correct my mistake. Please don't send me to a monastery in Meditation …" Chu Mengshuang burst into tears.

Madame Liu wailed as well. "Old master, I beg you to spare Shuang'er. She knows her mistake." She then faced Chu Mengli, "Fourth Miss, I beg of you, Shuang'er really knows her wrongs. Please tell Master not to send Shuang'er to the Meditation Hall! She's your sister! "

Sister by blood? Why didn't you think about it when you were stealing from me? As she thought about it, her goal and effect had already been achieved. Although Chu Mengshuang was domineering, most of it was used by the Bai clan and Chu Mengdie, so Chu Mengli wasn't that ruthless. Even if she wanted to destroy Chu Mengshuang, for the sake of her father, she didn't need to do so.

"Father!" Forget it, it's good that you've reprimanded her a little. I think Third Sis really knows she's wrong this time. "

Chu Meng leaving was still useful. Chu Zhennan frowned as he thought about it. He had neglected this daughter of his for the past few years, but Die'er was right. The back of his hand was his meat!

Chu Mengdie's eyes turned to look at him, "That's right, father. Fourth sister has already forgiven third sister, how about you give her a light punishment! "If I really send my third sister to a monastery, her reputation would be ruined." Not only would he ruin his reputation, he would also implicate himself.

Come, bring the Third Miss to the temple and think about it. You will copy the Buddhist scriptures for me a thousand times, and without my permission, you are not allowed to come out. As for these two girls, drag them out and beat them twenty times, then sell them!

"Father …" Chu Mengdie wanted to plead for Chu Mengshuang. If she was locked in the temple, then she would be lacking a helper. Even if Chu Mengshuang wasn't good enough, it would still be useful.

Chu Zhennan coldly cut her off, "Who wants to beg for mercy, let's enter the temple together, I have already given in."

Chu Mengshuang didn't dare to plead, she could only cry as she was taken down the stairs. It was always better to enter the temple than to meditate in the monastery.
