Zhu Residence.
Zhu Dongfeng was punished, demoted, and upon returning he was scolded by Father Zhu.
"Father, I really didn't know things would turn out this way." Zhu Dongfeng felt terrible: "Those days I felt as if I was under a spell, everything went wrong."
"I told you long ago to protect the Princess well!" Father Zhu's expression was harsh: "Did you treat my words as the wind in your ears?"
Zhu Dongfeng was full of resentment: "Things are already like this, what's the point of scolding me."
Father Zhu pointed at Zhu Dongfeng, unable to speak for a long while.
He withdrew his hand, paced with hands behind his back, his brows knitted tightly, lost in thought.
Zhu Dongfeng didn't know what Father Zhu was thinking, but he couldn't hold back his anger: "Yin Shen really crossed the line, punishing me directly without consulting Your Majesty. Father, if things continue like this, what are we still worth?"
Not protecting the Princess was his dereliction of duty.
