Chapter 429 “Adorable Little Lamb (3)”
To hear that sudden outburst from the little girl, the current chief of the Wang House would of course be not pleased. From that anxious expression to a cold hard one, Wang Yufan speaks out using his stern voice: “Didn’t I say to have her not to come out during this period, or did you take my words as a joke instead?!”
“Father!” Wang Deyi roars out in refute, “She is your own granddaughter, how can you reprimand your own flesh and blood over some outsiders. Besides, this mistake isn’t only my daughter’s fault. If that cat didn’t try to scare her then why would she cry out?”
Curling that brow, the grandpa knew his son had a point, If this is indeed the cat’s fault, then….
“Mother,” catching a glimpse of that broken brick next to Little Rice, Bai Xiachen chimes in at the perfect timing. “What lazy servants this place has, such a big brick lying there and won’t even bother to clean it up. What if someone trips over it?”
Due to everyone’s attention being gathered around the little girl’s wellbeing, they had inadvertently missed this crucial picture. Now that the little steambun has reminded them all of this, it’s not hard to imagine what’s going on and who’s at fault.
Sinking in his old face, the grandpa was the first to speak at this point: “The servants of my home isn’t foolish enough to make such a mistake. I want an explanation Qing’er.”
“I…” Sounding guilty in her voice, the little girl uncomfortably fiddles her finger while answering, “I am not wrong! All I did was throw a brick at it. I wanted to drive this animal away, what wrong did I do?!”
The Wang family have always been a bloodline that prospered on the male side so this elder tended to be extra fond of his granddaughters. Therefore, to hear something like this directly from the girl herself, it’s not hard to imagine how disappointed Wang Yufan was in his old eyes.
“Qing’er, I am so disappointed in you. Back then it was you my child who provoked that demon beast, that’s why it scratched you in the end. Now you want to repeat the same mistake?” Shaking his old head, the grandpa sighs helplessly, “Old Three, take your daughter back to her room and make sure she doesn’t step out of the door!”
As resentful as he was over this, Wang Deyi could do nothing right now and decides to leave. However, his legs didn’t even get past the first step before the indifferent voice from behind caused him to freeze on the spot.
“Did I say you can leave?”
Enraged to the point of wanting to erupt, Wang Deyi instantly turns around with fire in his eyes: “And what do you plan to do about it? Miss Bai Yan, I’m only letting this slide out of respect for your status as an alchemist. If you continue to push your luck then I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!”
Not minding the rudeness, Bai Yan flatly lays out her terms: “Have her apologize to my Little Rice.”
“What?”
This damn woman wants my daughter to say sorry to a blasted animal?
“I don’t want to apologize Father, its nothing but a cat.” The girl’s eyes were just as angry as her old man’s, “I am a human, I refuse to apologize to a cat that’s inferior to me!”
Crossing her arms around the chest, Bai Yan raises a smirk at them: “Don’t want to? Alright, that’s fine. But before then, I’m sure at least one of you have taken my Dan pills before. Just spit them back out and we can cancel the deal, then we are even.”
“No…” Steaming as he righteously points at the woman, Wang Deyi refuses to stand down, “Our family purchased the items with our own money, based on what can you demand us to spit it back out?”
Not bothering to answer the ignorant man, Bai Yan only shot a smirky grin at Wang Deqiu who’s standing to the side.
“Those medicinal Dan pills were provided to us free of charge by Miss Bai Yan here, when did you spend money to buy them?” He’s been pent up for a while there as well, now that Bai Yan was giving him the chance to take the stage, how can the man not shine?
Provided free of charge? Widening his eyes in shock, Wang Deyi became overwhelmed by his second brother’s shamelessness.
This shrewd woman would provide such precious medicines free of charge? As if!
Furthermore….
“You said she provided it free of charge, then where did the money Father sent to you go?”
