"Your Majesty, you need to report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor!" Mingyu cried out after she reported her finding.

The ten safety pins were strewn on the table. Xie Jianyu who sat at the table remained silent.

"If you don't want to tell Father, I will," Xie Jianshen said. He reached out to gather the safety pins, but Xie Jianyu stopped him.

"Big Brother, wait..."

Xie Jianshen glared at his younger brother.

"Don't tell me that you are going to let this issue fall under the table! Little Yu, that man is bullying you!"

Xie Jianyu sighed.

"Big Brother, maybe there were only ten pins."

Xie Jianshen grabbed Xie Jianyu's wrist and showed him one of the pins.
