Xiaohu continued to say vividly, “Dahu… his head hurts! Erhu… his hand hurts!”
What Xiaohu wanted to express was that the fatty had pushed him. In order to protect him, Dahu had hit him with his head. In order to protect Dahu, Erhu had picked up fruits and thrown them at him. The fruits were so prickly…
However, what the surrounding commoners understood was—not only did this child throw fruits at people, but he also hit one child’s head and another child’s hand.
Good lord, he was only seven years old. Could he bully others so easily?
Look at how wronged the three little fellows were?
The little fatty of the Hu family was furious. “You’re talking nonsense! It was you… You bumped into me! You knocked me down! You even hit me!”
He couldn’t tell which one had hit him. The three little fellows looked identical, and so did their hair and clothes. It was blinding.
Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips and stomped his feet. “No, you hit me first! ”
Su Xiaoxiao tugged at her sleeve indifferently and said, “Miss Hu, my sons are only two years old. Do you really think they can knock down such a big child?”
Everyone nodded. That’s right. The little fellows looked less than three years old. How did they knock down a seven-year-old fatty?
It was obvious that this little fatty was bullying the three little fellows. When the adults came out, he would play the blame game when he could not win.
Speaking of which, many people present knew this young master of
Benevolence Hall. They knew that he was the youngest legitimate son of the Hu family. His family had spoiled him and he was very delicate. He liked to bully others, cry, and lie.
Feeling everyone’s questioning gazes, Hu Biyun was extremely embarrassed!
She had also heard from Qin Yanran that Su Daya had adopted a few sons in the countryside. Su Cheng’s daughter could not get married and would not have anyone to rely on in the future. When she was old, there would be no one to send her off, so she raised three sons from outside.
She had also heard that Su Daya had a live-in son-in-law in the countryside. However, ever since they found out about their background, Su Cheng and his daughter looked down on a farmer from the countryside. When they entered the capital, they did not bring him along at all and left him in the countryside on the grounds that he was recuperating.
It seemed that Su Cheng and his daughter wanted to find a rich husband in the capital again.
How shameless!
Hu Biyun tried to anger Su Xiaoxiao with her eyes, but she was disappointed. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t take her seriously at all.
She gritted her teeth and slowly walked up to Su Xiaoxiao. She said coldly, “Su Daya, don’t be smug. So what if your father defeated Qin Jiang? After obtaining military power and losing your soul, you will pay the price for your stupidity one day.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her indifferently, her emotions unchanged. “Are you done?”
Hu Biyun was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao’s voice was very calm, but her eyes were filled with terrifying danger. “Look after your brother. My sons are young, but I might not be so gentle.”
Hu Biyun thought of how this girl had thrown Lin Ruyue into the water and felt a chill run down her spine.
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the shoulder pole on the ground and brought the three little ones back to the backyard of the medical center with Madam Yang.
“Sister-in-law Cao, are you alright?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Madam Yang.
Facing Shopkeeper Wu and Second Master Hu, Madam Yang actually picked up the shoulder pole and fought with them. This courage was impressive. Madam Yang hurriedly said, “I’m fine. They’re such bastards. They even want to attack the children…”
She thought of something and said, “Boss, I didn’t cause you any trouble, right?”
She didn’t care when she rushed up. After fighting, she realized that one of them was the shopkeeper of the Benevolence Hall, and the other was the owner of the Benevolence Hall.
Their Number One Hall was already on bad terms with the Benevolence Hall. If the Benevolence Hall caught them with something—
“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “I have to thank you this time. Otherwise, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu would have suffered. You don’t have to worry about Benevolence Hall. Manager Sun will settle it.”
With Manager Sun taking action, it was still uncertain who would have something on who.
“That’s good.” Madam Yang was relieved. “Take a look at the children. I saw them fall just now.”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao brought the three little ones back to her courtyard.
Ah Zhong and Chef Cao had gone out to buy groceries. Little Weizi and the others were busy in front and did not know that something had happened in the backyard. Otherwise, Little Weizi would have rushed up to fight them.
Physician Fu came over to see the three little fellows. Xiaohu and Erhu were fine, but Dahu’s knees were bald.
Physician Fu’s heart ached.
How painful would it be for such a young child to fall?
“Let me do it,” he said to Su Xiaoxiao.
As the saying went, the mother’s heart would hurt when the child’s body was injured. He was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would be sad.
“It’s fine. I’ll do it.” Su Xiaoxiao brought over a cotton swab and iodophor.
Xiaohu and Erhu also came over.
“Dahu, blow for you.” Xiaohu wheezed at Dahu’s knee.
He wheezed on his left knee, and Erhu wheezed on his right knee, one on each side. They drooled on Dahu.
Dahu enjoyed the treatment that was previously meant for Uncle Ergou and decided not to blow air for Uncle Ergou anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao still had to educate them about what had happened today.
Although they were not at fault and it was Hu Biyun’s brother who provoked them first, there were some things that they had to pay attention to.
She asked solemnly, “Have you thought about what to do if you can’t win?”
“Run!” Xiaohu said.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Dahu’s skin was solid. It was only a little scratched. Soon, it did not hurt anymore. He jumped down to the ground with a whoosh and ran to play with his brothers.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the Marquis Wuwei’s Estate to check on Jing Yi.
Jing Yi was recovering well. The infection on the wound had completely disappeared, and his wound was healing rapidly. At this rate, he would recover in a few days.
“Can I practice swordsmanship now?” Jing Yi asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “No! You have to endure this month at least.”
Did this child pretend that he had never been injured when his fever subsided?
Jing Yi was disappointed. “Oh.”
He had been in bed for a few days and felt terrible.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a box of snacks for him. “New flavor, hawthorn cake.”
Jing Yi took the snacks and his eyes lit up again.
Su Xiaoxiao packed her medicine box and prepared to leave.
Jing Yi asked, “Are you… leaving?
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Your injuries are fine. I’ll come back in three days for a follow-up.”
Jing Yi lowered his eyes, his gaze a little resentful.
He touched the snack box in his arms and suddenly said, “There’s been progress on the hunting ground case. Do you want to hear it?”
Since it was related to Su Cheng, Su Xiaoxiao naturally had to listen.
She sat back down on the stool beside the bed.
Jing Yi was a little energetic. “Those assassins lying in ambush in the forest and that guard surnamed Cheng came from a sect organization in the martial world —White Lotus Society.” “White Lotus Society?”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered.
This sect was very famous in her previous life. It had really existed in history. She did not expect it to exist here.
The White Lotus Society she knew was once a legitimate religion. It originated from Buddhism, observed its tenets and did not kill. It only slowly changed after it was passed down.
She wondered what the White Lotus Society here was like.
Jing Yi continued, “In addition, there’s some progress on the case of the corpses under the attic.” Su Xiaoxiao queried, “Oh?”
