Luo Li couldn't hide her guilt, and she hugged the two dogs tightly as if seeking a sense of security: "Mom, it seems we've gotten into trouble..."
Xiao Yunying paused, her hand still brushing the grass off her clothes: "What happened?"
Luo Li whispered, "We had a fight at the academy, and the teacher had the academy's carriage take us back first, saying that the elders from our families would go together tomorrow."
"What about your eldest and second eldest brothers?"
“In the eldest brother’s room, Granny Chang and Aunt Yunwan are applying medicine to them.”
Upon hearing that the two children were injured, Xiao Yunying quickly went to Luo Chen's room.
The door wasn't closed, and before she even entered, the two children stood up, heads bowed, adopting an apologetic posture.
"How are you? Are you badly injured?"
Luo Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the first thing she said was about their injuries, not criticism.
Luo Li replied from behind her, "We're not badly injured; the people who fought us are the ones who are seriously injured."
Xiao Yunying turned around and glared at him disdainfully: "You're quite proud of yourself."
After she finished speaking, she carefully examined the injuries on the two brothers' bodies. There was only slight redness and swelling on their faces and some abrasions on their palms, but no serious injuries.
"You two sit down, continue applying the medicine, and tell me why you fought."
Luo Li mustered her courage and said, "It was because of my eldest and second eldest brothers that I fought with that person."
Xiao Yunying dragged a stool over and sat down: "Then you tell me what exactly happened."
Luo Li, unsure whether she would be criticized or punished, said somewhat nervously, "That person bullied others first. I couldn't stand it and said a few words to him, but who knew he would hold a grudge and keep causing trouble for me at the academy."
This afternoon was even worse. He saw me copying books and practicing calligraphy, and deliberately pretended to fall and knock over my inkstone, spilling ink all over the book. That was a rare, famous book that Yuanxuan had lent me. In a fit of anger, I punched him first…”
Xiao Yunying pulled him to her side: "Did he hit you? Were you hurt?"
Luo Li shook her head: "No, he tried to fight back, and when I saw that things were not going well, I ran to my eldest and second eldest brothers' classrooms to find them."
Unexpectedly, that person also had a short temper and started hitting people right away. The older brothers couldn't stop him and had no choice but to fight back.
Xiao Yunying said, "You've become smarter; you know to run away if you can't win."
These words revealed neither joy nor anger. Luo Yang pleaded with his younger brother, "It's not Ali's fault for striking first. That person was never a good person. He often bullied students from ordinary families because his family had some money."
Ali spoke up for the bullied student because she couldn't stand it, and that's why he held a grudge against her.
Ah Li was young and sweet-talking, and his studies were quite good. The teacher liked him very much. The other boy was afraid of being found out by the teacher and dared not bully him openly, so he could only resort to tricks in secret. Fortunately, Ah Li was clever and didn't fall for most of the tricks. If it were someone else, they would probably have been bullied and expelled from school long ago.
