"Do you admit it?" Liu Yueru asked sternly.

Song Shijin lowered his head and said nothing.

"It's okay if you don't pick it up." Liu Yueru called a few strong servants.

Liu Yueru pointed at Song Shijin and said, "Send him to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment. He can come out only when he admits his mistakes."

Song Shijin's face turned pale. He had been timid since he was a child. He struggled and said, "I won't go. Mother, I know I was wrong. I will pick it up now."

Liu Yueru signaled her servants to let him go.

Although Song Shijin was unwilling, he still knelt on the ground obediently and silently picked up the scattered chess pieces.

After all the chess pieces were picked up, Liu Yueru asked him seriously, "What's wrong?"

"My son shouldn't have been so quarrelsome with his brother and shouldn't have thrown chess pieces around," he whispered unwillingly.

"anything else?"

Song Shijin looked up at his stepmother with grievance. He had done so much, but his stepmother had no intention of letting him go.

He didn't know where he went wrong.

When he played chess in the Marquis' Mansion, he would regret his moves however he wanted. His great-grandmother never blamed him and even praised him for being so good at chess at such a young age.

But he just played chess with Song Yiyan and lost to him every time. He was unwilling to accept it. How could he lose to a sickly guy who was inferior to him in every way?

"I acted like that because he cheated." Song Shijin bit his lip.

"If you are stubborn, take you to the ancestral hall and make you kneel for an hour." Liu Yueru no longer looked at him.

The servants came forward and carried him away.

Song Shijin was frightened and started to cry. He kicked his legs and cried, wanting to go back to the mansion.

The Liu family has a strict family tradition. If they were children, they would have been punished by their father's family rules.

The servants naturally did not feel sorry for Song Shijin's struggle, they just felt that the punishment was too light.

For scholars, Go is an entertainment that demonstrates strategy and intelligence, and is cherished as scholars love books.

Song Shijin took out his anger on the chess piece, which made the servants of the literati family look down on him.

The hand that was dragging also became heavier.

It turns out that the bastards out there are not as sensible as those born to the young lady.

Song Shijin grimaced in pain.

Liu Yueru watched Song Shijin leave with a calm expression.

Song Yiyan then called out carefully, "Mother, I shouldn't be so serious."

Liu Yueru stepped forward to check on Song Yiyan: "He hit you, why didn't you dodge?"

Song Yiyan didn't dare to do so. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it. In the past, he would let Song Shijin vent his anger and then let him go.

Seeing that he remained silent, Liu Yueru sighed softly, "Chess is like life. Once you make a move, there is no turning back. It is inappropriate to regret a move. You did nothing wrong. If Big Brother bullies you next time, you must resist. If you compromise once, you will compromise countless times. Mother doesn't want you to be so cowardly."

Song Yiyan was slightly stunned; "Mother doesn't blame her son?"

"It's wrong, it's wrong, it's right. Why should I blame you when it's not your fault?" Liu Yueru reached out and rubbed his hair.

"A son should remember his mother's teachings."

Liu Yueru took out the slingshot in her hand and said, "It must have taken a lot of time to make this."

She carefully pulled Song Yiyan's hand over and looked at the wounds of varying sizes on his hands, her eyes filled with heartache.

"My son made this in his spare time. Do you like it, mother?" He hid his hands behind his back and looked at his mother expectantly.

"I like it very much." Liu Yueru couldn't hide the joy in her eyes as she played with it in her hands.

"Your mother was very lovable when she was a child, and she loved these boys' toys the most." Liu Zimo explained with a smile.

"If you like it, mother, I'll make something else for you." Song Yiyan said with his head down a little embarrassedly.

"Second Master, it's bad, Young Master Jin ran away!" The servant came hurriedly to report.
