Chapter 1300 Youning's Disobedience
His handsome face was still beautiful, just less lively, but his expression remained the same, very natural and calm, as if Cheng Youning's condition was not caused by him and Cheng Youning's grievances were not really grievances.
This gives people the illusion that Cheng Feng and Shang Xi, the parents, are making a big deal out of nothing.
Shang Xi couldn't help but complain in her heart, it turned out that they were not her biological children. Cheng Youning was in such a miserable state that she had become a wild child, but this man could actually look at them calmly as water without any ripples, without a single word of concern, and didn't feel sorry for Cheng Youning at all.
"Greetings, little uncle. May my uncle be healthy and happy!" Shang Xi and Cheng Feng knelt on the ground at the same time to pay their respects to Wan Lian. Normally, they would not have to perform such a grand ceremony, but today they are here to reason, and the person they are reasoning with is the emperor, so today's ceremony must be grand, solemn and formal!
Unfortunately, Cheng Youning stood between Cheng Feng and Shang Xi with his head raised, staring at Wan Lianxing without saying a word.
The old butler standing next to Wan Lianxing reminded him, "Your Highness, why don't you pay your respects to the Emperor?"
Cheng Youning raised his head and said angrily: "We are here to settle accounts, not to pay respects!"
"Your Highness, you must not disobey me! Kneel down!"
The old butler tried to guide Cheng Youning with soft words, but unfortunately Cheng Youning didn't buy his account.
"No, I'm here to settle accounts, not to kneel down. Have you ever seen a wronged person kneel down to a bad guy?"
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This is what is said about a child like Cheng Youning. He dared to bluntly call Wan Lianxing a bad person in front of the emperor. This is a crime that will cost him his head. Children are ignorant, but adults must be. Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng immediately scolded Cheng Youning: "Kneel down! Don't say treasonous words!"
"No! Whoever wants to kneel can kneel, but I, Cheng Youning, won't kneel!"
This was the first time Cheng Youning disobeyed his elders and actually chose Wan Lianxing. Cheng Feng and Shang Xi were sweating.
His words instantly made the temperature in the room drop to freezing point. Shang Xi could feel that the murderous heart hidden under Wan Lianxing's gloomy appearance was brewing a storm. She and Cheng Feng reached out to Cheng Youning at the same time, asking the child to kneel down and admit his mistake to Wan Lianxing. Unfortunately, Cheng Youning refused to obey and was so stubborn that he refused to kneel down no matter what. This time he was going to fight for himself to the end.
In desperation, Shang Xi had to plead with Wan Lianxing, whose eyes were cold: "Uncle, I don't know what has stimulated this child in the past two days, and he has started to talk nonsense! Please be magnanimous and don't bother with him!"
The old butler also came out to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince does look a little abnormal. In my opinion, we should ask a doctor to treat the Crown Prince."
Cheng Youning, who didn't know how to live or die, ignored his parents' advice and the good intentions of the old housekeeper: "I'm not sick, I don't need to see a doctor, and don't call me the prince in the future. Whoever wants to be the prince can be the prince. I, Cheng Youning, don't want to be the prince anymore. I came here today to resign." Then he said to his parents who were kneeling on the ground: "You two should stop kneeling. I originally wanted you two to support me, but now it seems that I have thought too much. Now that I have said what I wanted to say, let's go home!"
What was originally a reasonable matter was now completely disrupted by Cheng Youning's blunt words. Cheng Feng scolded Cheng Youning and said, "Asshole, you are disobedient and disrespectful to your elders. Am I too lax in disciplining you on weekdays? Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistakes to your grandfather!"
"I, Cheng Youning, kneel to the heaven, the earth, and my parents. I won't kneel to anyone else!" Cheng Youning, who had lost his mind, didn't listen to any advice! His emotions got out of control and he kept saying the wrong things.
Wan Lianxing's face was as cold as ice, and his anger was burning in his heart. However, he didn't want to talk to an emotional person at this moment, so he said in a cold voice: "Come here! Drag the prince out and beat him with a big stick!"
"I have already resigned from my post. I am no longer the crown prince. Why did Little Grandfather hit me? What crime have I, Cheng Youning, committed?"
"You are so arrogant even when you are about to die. Do you think you can become the crown prince whenever you want? You are disobeying the emperor's order, don't you understand?"
Wan Lianxing's words were as cold as ice and did not allow for any objection, but Cheng Youning, who was courting death, showed no fear.
"Humph, I've never heard of forcing someone to take up this position. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. If you insist on letting me take up the position of Crown Prince, I can tell you right now that I can't do it!"
"You are not going to disobey my order!"
"If you don't want me to disobey your order, you should have taken back your order. Originally, I just wanted a pair of oriental pearls and a mansion, but you insisted on forcing the status of the crown prince on me. At first, I thought you favored me by giving me so many rewards in one day, but before I could even have a night to be happy, you made me go to court, read and write day and night. You kept me under your watchful eyes all day, restricting my freedom and not letting me have a moment of leisure. I endured all this, but I just wanted to go out for fun in the name of hunting, but you didn't help me. You sent Suiying to watch me every step of the way, as if I could run away. Not only that, you also instructed Suiying to use a clumsy and despicable strategy, so that I couldn't catch any prey in three days. What on earth are you thinking!"
Wan Lianxing was so angry at Cheng Youning's words that his face turned from blue to white, and then from white to blue, changing over and over again unpredictably. No one knew what emotions he was brewing. Only the young Cheng Youning did not understand how serious the consequences of his words were. He had no idea how much trouble such provocation and disrespect would bring him.
Wan Lianxing asked Cheng Youning: "You are so dissatisfied, then tell me what my intention is?"
"Humph, you just want me to suffer in the mountains, and then you want me to come back crying and beg for mercy, and then you want me to promise you that I will never go out to play again, and then you can let me read and write under your eyes."
"Are you so miserable under my nose?" This was the first time Wan Lianxing felt so frustrated. It was extremely difficult for others to see him, but this child was so disgusted with him.
"It's painful, very painful. I don't want a bunch of people staring at me like a thief every day. I don't want you to send the old housekeeper to preach to me from time to time. I don't want my every word and action to be under your surveillance. I don't want someone to come to lecture me when I make a mistake. What makes me even more disgusted is that someone goes to sound the alarm before I make a mistake. What's the difference between me and being under house arrest! Also, I don't want to eat three meals a day with my little grandfather and grandmother. Instead of eating with you two in a dull manner, I might as well take my bowl and eat at the wall!"
