Chapter 172 - 140 Golden Black Dragon_1
After freshening up, Qian Manxia picked up Qian Yixiu and headed to the main house for a meal.
As they stepped out of the small house, Qian Yixiu asked, "Where is Doctor Xiao Zhang? I need to tell him, he mustn’t blame Old Uncle Zhang."
Qian Manxia said, "Doctor Xiao Zhang was sent to the county town by Huang Tie as soon as dawn broke. He had to rush back and inform Old Master Zhang that you had been found, fearing that Old Master Zhang might bring people over to look for you." She glared at her resentfully and reproached, "It’s all because of you, this calamity magnet, that so many people have been put through so much trouble. According to Doctor Xiao Zhang, Old Uncle Zhang has already been placed under watch. If anything had happened to you, it’s likely he wouldn’t have survived either."
Qian Yixiu lowered her head again, regretting that she had unintentionally caused harm to many people.
After finishing her meal, she repeated the excuse she had given about following Monkey Brother deep into the mountains to look for nice flowers, only to end up not finding the flowers and losing her way back home.
Qian Sangui and Lady Wu were furious upon hearing this.
Lady Wu even chided Qian Yixiu by tapping on her little head.
Cheng Yue was devastated, her eyes brimming with tears as she defended her daughter at the side, "It’s not Xiu’er’s fault. Xiu’er is so young and doesn’t understand anything. Mother, please don’t scold her..."
Qian Yixiu could tell that Qian Sangui and Lady Wu wanted to discipline her, yet Cheng Yue was still there to protect and side with her. She admitted to herself that what she had done was indeed thoughtless and deserved to let everyone vent their frustration on her. She then persuaded her mother to go to the east wing to do some embroidery, as she was eager to see "the most beautiful flower in mother’s heart."
Cheng Yue reluctantly puckered her lips and went to the east wing to embroider.
Seeing that Lady Wu’s scolding was nonstop, Qian Sangui waved his hand at her, signaling her to stop.
Once Lady Wu closed her mouth, Qian Sangui, with a stern face, emphasized that safety was more important than anything and that if anything had happened to her, the family would have been ruined. He reminded her of how anxious family and relatives had been, how many people from the two villages had been dispatched to search for her during the busy farming season, and how much time had been wasted. He especially mentioned Wan Dazhong, wondering what they would do if he had an accident in the mountains, along with many other concerns.
