"Father..." Gu Xiaoran cried even harder when she saw her grandmaster about to hit her father.

"Father is right, it is Xiaoran who is wrong and has upset Master and Mistress."

As Gu Xiaoran spoke, she reached out to pull Gu Qian up, but she couldn't budge him.

“Master…” Gu Qian looked up at Li Zheng, “Now that the thatched hut is destroyed, you…”

"Qian'er, aren't you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself by doing this?" Thinking of what had just happened, Li Zheng couldn't calm down for a long time.

He has already lost a daughter; he cannot afford to lose any more loved ones.

Gu Qian went to great lengths to get him to move.

Although his initial intention was to fulfill his filial duty, Li Zheng could not accept this method.

Gu Xiaoran shook her head while crying, "Master, Xiaoran wanted Master and Mistress to live in a big house, so I damaged the roof."

...Ling Qi and Ling Ba finally had some free time today. They went for a walk in the mountains and forests. When they returned, they saw Gu Qian and Uncle Li having a conflict. They were puzzled.

Seeing Qiu Yan walk out of the courtyard gate and head towards the Li family's courtyard, they silently followed behind, wanting to find out what was going on.

As Qiu Yan arrived at the Li family's courtyard, Gu Xiaoran rushed into her arms.

“Mother…” He rubbed his head, which was throbbing from the impact. “Master is angry. He’s ignoring Father.”

Qiu Yan was angry. She pushed Gu Xiaoran away and said coldly, "Go back and stand in the corner as punishment!"

Gu Xiaoran sniffed, obediently returned to the courtyard, and stood obediently facing the wall.

Qiu Yan slowly approached Li Zheng, first glancing at Gu Qian on the ground.

"Uncle Li, this time, Xiao Ran's actions were out of line."

It was Gu Qian's fault for not disciplining his children properly.

However, Gu Qian spent the entire morning with me, so Xiao Ran's actions were not intentional on Gu Qian's part.

Qiu Yan had just finished comforting Ye Shi when she heard that Gu Qian had been misunderstood by his master, so she immediately came over to explain.

At this time, Ling Qi and Ling Ba were admitted to the hospital one after the other.

They were startled to see the damaged roof.

Qiu Yan noticed the two entering and stared at them with sharp eyes: "Is it you?"

"What?" Ling Qi was completely bewildered by Qiu Yan's gaze, but at the same time, he felt uneasy.

Qiu Yan: "Was it your idea for Xiao Ran to damage the house?"

"roof……"

Since Qiu Yan has asked this question, then the general must not have done it.

Instantly, Ling Qi thought of Gu Xiaoran's confident face this morning.

Presumably, it was Gu Xiaoran who made a mistake, and the general should take the blame.

But Xiao Ran is not even four years old. Does he have this ability?

"Uncle Li, I apologize for speaking out of turn, but I told Xiao Ran that her father is worried about your residence all day long and cannot sleep at night."

Xiao Ran did this to share her father's burdens.

Ling Ba knelt down beside Gu Qian.

"Uncle Li, the damage to the roof was our fault." Gu Xiaoran is incredibly audacious.

Upon noticing that Gu Qian was looking at the two of them, Ling Ba lowered his eyes, while Ling Qi, annoyed, knelt down as well.

Li Zheng turned around, his back to the three of them, and began to lower his eyes in deep thought.

He seems to have misunderstood Gu Qian.

Even so, I was still angry.

Seeing that Uncle Li's expression had softened somewhat, Qiu Yan stepped forward and stood opposite him.

"Uncle Li, although Xiao Ran almost made a mistake, but..."

What seems like a misfortune may actually be a blessing in disguise.

The thatched hut, weathered by the years, has become a dilapidated structure.

If what happened today didn't happen, there's no guarantee it won't happen in the future.

"Considering Gu Qian's filial piety towards you, forgive him this time."

This was the best explanation Qiu Yan could think of.

Li Zheng felt that he had wronged Gu Qian earlier, and because of Qiu Yan's remarks, he decided to let it go. It was too late to blame anyone now.

He turned around and looked at Gu Qian.

"Get up."
