Master Qiuâs old face trembled.
âThis child is still young. Heâs a little insensible. He shouldnât have come knocking on our door like this. But in the end⦠heâs just a child. H-How can you do thatâ¦â Master Qiu could not believe that a man like Xie Pinggang actually had a problem with a child.
Xie Pinggang chuckled, âHe came knocking on our door himself. Moreover, I didnât bully him. He didnât dare to chop me with a blade. Since Iâm not dead, Iâll have to teach him a good lesson.
âI work on cases at the criminal division. Right now, Iâm just beating his butt. If heâs still insensible when he grows up, then weâll be executing him by then.â After Xie Pinggang finished speaking, his gaze swept across Zhou Kaiyunâs face. That glance scared Zhou Kaiyun so much that he held back his breath, and his face turned red.
Master Qiuâs heart ached terribly.
A scholar meeting a soldier, it was hard to reason with him. Not to mention there was nothing to be reasoned with to begin with.
No matter how angry he was, he had always been a person who only reasoned and would not fight. He was the complete opposite of Xie Pinggang.
âY-Youâ¦â
Boorish manâ¦
Master Qiu was also a little speechless.
Xie Qiao looked at Zhou Kaiyun with a faint smile and asked, âYoung Master Zhou, you were the one who wanted to kill someone. Now, let me ask you one more question in front of your grandfather. In the future, do you still want to seek revenge on my Eldest Brother?â
Zhou Kaiyun wailed again, âNo, no⦠Noâ¦â
âWell, will you stare at me, my Younger Brother and Younger Sister in the future?â Xie Qiao asked again.
âNoâ¦â Zhou Kaiyun was very cooperative.
He did not want to say anything, but the man stared at him.
He did not dare to do it again.
âGreat. In that case, you admit that you were wrong, right? A man should own up to his mistakes, so you should apologize to me,â Xie Qiao said in all seriousness, âI was scared by your stare when I was in the academy.â
Master Qiuâs heart trembled.
Why did he feel that this little girl was taking revenge on himâ¦
How could this girl be scared?
Master Qiu was about to say something, but his grandson opened his mouth and said, âI was wrong, I know I was wrong⦠Donât hit me, donât hit meâ¦â
Master Qiu felt that his heart was about to split open.
Look at how this boorish man scared his grandson!
âGood boy,â Xie Qiao had a kind look on her face. âWhat a good child. Come, have a bite of the snack.â
Xie Qiao took a piece of snack and handed it over.
She had a kind and amiable look on her face. She even reached out and touched Zhou Kaiyunâs head.
âAhh⦠Grandpa, Grandpa! Iâm scaredâ¦â Zhou Kaiyun suddenly squeezed himself into Master Qiuâs arms.
Xie Qiao chuckled, âThis child is so timid. Donât worry. We siblings donât eat people.â
âThatâs not certain,â Xie Pinggang added.
Master Qiu listened to the brother and sister going back and forth. He felt suffocated, and his old face tensed up.
He picked up his grandson with his old bones.
âYoung Lady Xie, I know the Zhou family is guilty, but the child is innocentâ¦â Master Qiu looked very helpless.
He was able to transfer Xie Qiao away in the academy because he was the dean. However, here, his identity as the dean was useless.
âThe Dean thinks that the two of us are bullying him?â Xie Qiao was not angry, âDo you think that itâs better to let him hold a grudge or wake him up? Look, isnât he obedient now? In the future, he will neither cause trouble nor stir up a ruckus. He will live his life obediently. Whatâs wrong with that?â
