However, after listening carefully, he realized that all the questions were insinuating about Anneval’s situation, although Anneval himself did not realize it.

When they returned, although Xiao Lang and Anneval didn’t tell them that they had gone to the beast farm without permission, everyone still knew about it.

Jian Qingqing stood in front of Xiao Lang with a stick in her hand. She said sternly, “Do you know your mistake?”

Xiao Lang shrunk his neck and nodded, saying carefully, “I know I was wrong.”

“What did you do wrong?”

“The mistake is that I shouldn’t have entered the beast farm without permission. I shouldn’t have been blindly arrogant and reckless.”

Jian Qingqing nodded and said sternly, “It seems that you know very well where you went wrong. Then why did you still make the mistake?”

Xiao Lang lowered his head guiltily and whispered, “I was too impulsive.”

He understood the logic, but when his emotions got the better of him, he forgot all about it.

“Alright, very good. It seems that you have a deep understanding of your mistakes. What punishment do you think you should receive?”

Xiao Lang immediately stretched out his hands and said honestly, “Hit my hand.”

Jian Qingqing immediately lashed out with her rod.

This bit of pain was nothing to Xiao Lang. It was much more painful to practice martial arts, but he still cried out.

“It hurts so much! Sister, spare me!”

Jian Qingqing was not moved at all. She hit him more than ten times until a red mark appeared on his hand.

“Do you dare to do it again in the future?” she asked angrily.

Xiao Lang shook his head vigorously. “I won’t dare, I won’t dare!”

Old Man Jian and the others said angrily, “Big sister, continue hitting. If we don’t teach him a lesson, he really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. What kind of place is the Imperial Palace? What’s more, it’s the beast farm. There are so many ferocious beasts there. It’s fine if you don’t care about your life, but you actually dare to bring Anneval with you. What if something happens to him? His mother hasn’t seen him yet!”

Xiao Lang lowered his head guiltily and did not speak. He had now deeply realized his mistake and whispered, “I won’t be impulsive anymore. I must think carefully before making a decision. Grandpa, Father, Mother, Sister, I really know my mistake.”

Jian Qingqing’s expression eased up a little. She said coldly, “I won’t hit you today. Go and copy all the articles that Teacher taught this year ten times. If you can’t finish copying, you’re not allowed to go out and play. The handwriting must be correct and there can’t be any mistakes. Otherwise, you’ll have to copy again!”

“Ah?” Xiao Lang looked like he was facing a great enemy. He did not cry when he was beaten up just now, but now he could not help but cry. “Sister, don’t do this! Hit me! I don’t want to copy the article!”

This year, Teacher taught quite a few books. If he copied all of them ten times, he would not be able to finish copying them until the new year!

Jian Qingqing put on a straight face and said, “I’m not asking you to bargain. Go and copy them. There’s no room for discussion!”

She was determined to teach Xiao Lang a lesson so that he could change his impetuous personality. Otherwise, he was almost ten years old and was still so impulsive. Who knew what trouble he would cause in the future.

It was also because the Emperor and the Crown Prince were kind and did not pursue the matter. Otherwise, just the crime of trespassing into the royal family’s forbidden area would be enough for him to bear the consequences.

Practicing calligraphy was the best way to temper a person’s character, and copying articles was even more so to review the knowledge they had learned. It was killing two birds with one stone.

The punishment for Xiao Lang to copy the book was decided. Although he was extremely unwilling and kept crying and begging for mercy, Old Man Jian and the others were standing on Jian Qingqing’s side. He was isolated and helpless. He could only copy the book reluctantly..
