Chapter 446 - 444: Is It Very Impressive?
Moved by Ye Xinyan’s words, Jiuhua’s tears began to flow again as she sobbed, "It’s all my fault, my negligence. I failed to protect Brother Jia, and he was punched several times by those rascals. I, I..."
From the side, Qi Sanshun interjected, "It’s fine, what’s your fault? Were you supposed to just stand there and hold Xiao Jiajia while taking the blows without fighting back?"
The moment Jiuhua burst into tears, Zi Ning, who was tidying Qi Jiaer’s clothes, looked uneasily at Ye Xinyan and said, "Young Lady, this servant... At that moment, this servant..." The truth was, it wasn’t her lack of care for Brother Jia; it was Master Guan who wouldn’t let her and the guards step forward.
Ye Xinyan waved her hand at her, "It’s okay, we’ll ask for the details and talk about it later."
Zi Ning had always looked after Qi Jiaer very well, and now the three youngsters all had bruises and scrapes, and their clothes had been changed, implying their previous garments were likely torn. But Zi Ning was perfectly fine, not a scratch on her. No need to say, it definitely was that scoundrel Guan He who stopped Zi Ning from stepping forward.
Madam Yin, pulling Qi Jiaer towards herself, examined him up and down before nodding, "Hmm, it’s okay, nothing serious. Brother Jia, remember, we are good kids, we can’t always get into fights, you understand?" Her darling daughter had always been like this since she was young, and now, a lovable little rascal had just moved into the compound, and within a few days, he got into a fight as well.
Qi Jiaer defended himself, looking up, "Auntie, it’s not our fault, those people are the bad ones. They called us beggars, said we were worse than beggars, clinging to Duke An’s Mansion’s prosperity and refusing to leave. They also spoke ill of Sister, saying that back in the village, Sister should have been drowned in a pond. Uncle Guan said, we belong to Duke An’s Mansion and shouldn’t hold our breath; otherwise, we would be disgracing the Duke."
"..." Madam Yin was momentarily speechless, that Righteous Guan was really too much.
