"Brother Qin!" The little girl pulled the corner of his clothes dissatisfiedly.
Qin Hai advised: "My lady, this is just a joke between you two children. Let's just let it go."
She refused and said, "I want to tell my father and let him seek justice for me!"
Qin Hai said: "Now that a noble has come to the manor, your father has no time to take care of this matter. You don't have to add to his troubles."
The little girl didn't care about that and left angrily.
The other kids saw her leave. Qin Hai didn't plan to investigate further, and they couldn't beat Nan Xing, so they could only leave in shame.
Qin Hai smiled at Yun Yan and said, "I will give them some advice."
Yunyan felt uncomfortable with his obscene gaze. She turned away with a cold face and left with Nanxing and Tangtang without saying a word.
They walked back along the same route, and halfway through, they met the little girl in yellow shirt who had returned. This time, she was accompanied by a tall, bearded middle-aged man.
Yun Yan finally understood where the girl's confidence came from. She walked forward and nodded slightly to the man, "Manager Shang."
Manager Shang was also stunned. Isn't this the maidservant beside the princess? Zhenzhen said that someone beat them up. Could it be this maidservant?
His mind was full of thoughts, but he did not forget to bow and say, "Miss Yunyan, where are you going now?"
"Take our girl back to treat her injuries." She said, her eyes fixed on the little girl beside him.
Manager Shang suddenly felt something was wrong. "Miss Jun... was injured?"
He almost let the cat out of the bag before he realized that the princess had instructed them not to reveal their identities at will.
Yun Yan snorted coldly, "Manager Shang, I won't beat around the bush with you. We had a little conflict with the people in the manor today, but it can be considered as a lesson learned."
"What...what happened?"
"A little girl named Shanshan attacked our young lady first, so Nanxing taught her a lesson. A few little boys also teamed up to beat Nanxing, but they were no match for Nanxing. As for the little girl next to you, we didn't even touch her from beginning to end, but she yelled that she wanted to find her father. I didn't know who her father was, but he turned out to be your supervisor, Shang."
After she said all this, Manager Shang's forehead began to sweat from the first sentence, and his knees unconsciously buckled until the last sentence.
"Ms. Yun, Miss Yunyan, this is our fault. I will definitely give you justice."
Yunyan nodded, "Then it will be Director Lao Shang."
Having said that, she took Tangtang and Nanxing and walked past them. Manager Shang stood respectfully on the side of the road with his waist bent, and did not relax until they walked a little further away.
Shang Xiaozhen didn't understand why her father was so afraid of them, "Dad?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Manager Shang pulled her arm and walked home. He said angrily, "Do you know who you can and can't mess with?"
Shang Xiaozhen was puzzled: "Who are they? Why are you so afraid of them, Dad?"
"Dad is not afraid of them, but respects them. The woman who spoke is not scary. The scary one is the youngest girl who you have offended!"
"It's just a three-year-old who can't even speak clearly. What's so scary about that?"
Seeing that his daughter still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You... first go find those who caused trouble today, and then go to their house to apologize in person later."
"No!" Shang Xiaozhen said unhappily, "They were the ones who hurt people. Why should we apologize? This is not fair!"
"Fairness?" Manager Shang laughed angrily, "I tell you there has never been any fairness in this world. Only those with power can talk about fairness! Do you know the identity of the person you just offended?
"You are a three-year-old kid who can't even speak clearly. Most of the dignitaries in the capital would bow to you when they see you. If you dare to hurt her, she will want to kill you!"
Shang Xiaozhen was frightened, her eyes widened and she froze in place.
Manager Shang sighed, squatted down and looked her in the eye, "Zhenzhen, we can't be the first to take action in this matter. When they ask you about it, just say that you just saw a fight and wanted to find help, and you don't know the details."
Shang Xiaozhen nodded woodenly.
"Okay, let's go get Shanshan and the others home first. I have something to tell you."
"Yes." Shang Xiaozhen ran away in a disorderly manner.
She first came to Zhuzi's house, and saw the other two people who had just fought were there, so she walked over.
"Huzi, Tiansheng, Zhuzi, my father wants you to come over."
When the fat boy Hu Zi saw her, his eyes sparkled with hope: "Xiao Zhen, is your father going to give us justice?"
She choked and said vaguely: "You will know when you go there."
When Zhuzi's mother heard that her son had been beaten unconscious, she hurried back from the fields and was relieved to see that the child was fine.
"Who hurt you, Zhuzi?"
"Mom." When Zhuzi saw his mother coming back, he walked over and hugged her arm.
Hu Zi said, "Auntie, Manager Shang asked us to come over. Xiao Zhen must have told him about this matter, and he wants to give us justice. We must teach that man a lesson."
Zhuzi's mother nodded and said, "This matter does need an explanation. How can children play so violently? If they get hurt, it will be terrible."
Shang Xiaozhen opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
After leaving Zhuzi's house, they went to Shanshan's house.
The tenants of the farm lived very close together. We soon arrived at Shanshan's house. Before we even entered the house, we heard Shanshan's mother's voice: "Who is this bastard who is so cruel? A girl's face is so important, but he hurt her like this. I will definitely go to him and make him pay for the medical expenses and medicine!"
Shang Xiaozhen held her forehead and followed them into the house.
The doctor is treating Shanshan's injuries.
Shanshan's face was pressed into the ground and scratched by small stones. There were many small cuts on her face. There was also an obvious red mark on the back of her neck. Her calf was actually broken by being stepped on.
"You too, you didn't even fight back when you were beaten, and you got hurt like this. If your legs become disabled and you become a lame girl, who would dare to marry you?"
Shanshan's mother was still cursing. She was a well-known miser in the village. Today, she had to spend so much money for nothing. She must be very upset.
"Shanshan's mother." Zhuzi's mother walked over and saw Shanshan's condition. She said distressedly, "How pitiful! She is so badly injured. She must be in so much pain."
Shanshan's mother said, "That's right. That bastard didn't show any mercy. I don't know whose child it is. Shanshan said she had never seen such a thing before."
"I don't know. Manager Shang just asked us to come over. We must ask for an explanation!"
"We really need to go to their house to seek justice. We can't just get beaten up for no reason and let others bully us at will!"
After the doctor had prescribed the medicine, Shanshan's mother, feeling distressed, took out a string of copper coins to pay for the consultation. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She asked someone to come and help carry Shanshan, and the group hurried to Manager Shang's house.
Manager Shang was feeling extremely worried when he suddenly saw Shanshan being carried in. Her face was covered with small wounds and her legs were wrapped in gauze.
Wasn't the attack too harsh? How could he beat someone like this?
As soon as Shanshan's mother entered the room, she cried, "Manager Shang, you must take care of Shanshan! Look at this half-grown child, he was beaten into this state. If he develops any underlying illness, what will we do?"
Manager Shang suddenly felt a headache.
He first asked someone to put Shanshan on a chair and then said to Shanshan's wife, who had been crying for a long time but couldn't shed a single tear, "Just be calm and listen to me."
Shan Shanniang immediately stopped talking, still covering her face with her sleeves, looking like she was about to cry.
Manager Shang sighed and said, "We can't pursue this matter any further. I just found out that it was your Shanshan who started it first."
The concubine immediately became furious.
