Shi Qing blinked and looked a bit hurt. "Why try to pin all the blame on me? I have such a delicate body. If I wasn't able to explain myself and Daren wanted to punish me, how can I withstand the paddling?"

When these words came out, Father Shi immediately tensed.

Despite constantly referring to his son as a 'bastard' or an 'unruly brat', he was more protective of Shi Qing than anyone.

Every time Shi Qing fell sick as a child, he would stay by his son's bedside and supervised the doctor's visits.

The Shi family only had this one young master. If something were to happen to him, the fortune and status Father Shi had worked hard to amass in Crane City would all be in vain.

He quickly turned to the Provincial Military Commander and said cautiously, "Daren, although this unruly son of mine seems to be in good health, he's always been a delicate child. If he has done something to deserve punishment, please sentence him to something other than a beating."

The still fuming Jiang Liye scoffed at Father Shi's words.

As expected of a father that raised a bully like Shi Qing who could lie without blinking.

Were sons born to be spoiled? It's not like he's a girl. Wasn't a young master his age ashamed to be so spoiled?

The Provincial Military Commander must think Father Shi was an unfit parent.

Father Jiang was basically in agreement. How did someone normally as shrewd looking as Father Shi fail so badly when it came to raising his son?

He spoke as well, but his words were the complete opposite of Father Shi's. "Daren, since Liye has done wrong, his punishment will be left up to you. Feel free to beat him or punish him."

Father Jiang was quite pleased with himself right now. After all, although their families were influential in Crane City, neither of their statuses could compare to an official like the Provincial Military Commander. To put it bluntly, they were dependent on others.

How could a bonafide Provincial Military Commander put up with others telling him what to do?

Furthermore, this Provincial Military Commander was recently appointed to his position. He had yet to establish his authority. The Provincial Military Commander must be very displeased by how much Father Shi doted on his son.

On the other hand, Father Jiang gave him free rein over his son's punishment. Due to his cooperation, the Provincial Military Commander must now see him in a better light.

Father Jiang's train of thought was logical and well-reasoned.

Unfortunately, this new Provincial Military Commander has an overflowing amount of fatherly love with no outlet inside because his son had passed away. He wasn't very fond of the kind of father who was overly stern and would let outsiders scold his son.

Are you doing this because you have a bunch of sons at home, so having one die is no skin off your teeth?

Then where does that leave me?? I finally had a child after trying for so long...I even brought him up with the utmost care and attention. But before he could marry and give me lots of grandchildren, a bout of illness took him from me...

The Provincial Military Commander's heart was filled with sorrow. His gaze towards Father Jiang became increasingly unkind.

His way of thinking was somewhat similar to Father Shi's.
