"Master Kong, please come in!"
Grandfather Kong hurriedly entered and respectfully bowed to Xiao Xi, saying, "Greetings, Princess Xi. Please forgive me for taking up your precious time and causing you trouble."
Grandfather Kong then looked at Ye Zhongnan next to Xiaoxi. He knew that this was the princess's brother, and quickly bowed to Ye Zhongnan again.
Xiaoxi laughed and said, "Every family has its share of troubles. The City God just came to speak well of your family."
Grandpa Ding and Feng Yu slapped their thighs in surprise, "Xiao Xi, the City God even came to the courtyard house, how come we didn't know?"
Xiaoxi chuckled, "I went to the courtyard house next door for a while. You can see everything now, but I was just afraid you'd make a fuss."
Grandpa Kong noticed that Xiaoxi and her friends had drifted off-topic and hadn't gotten back to the main point.
Princess Xi clearly doesn't want to forgive the unfilial son of the Kong family, and her friend doesn't say anything to avoid the issue; she just wants to watch the show.
Grandfather Kong panicked and, disregarding everything else, immediately knelt down and begged Xiaoxi.
"Old Master Kong, please don't say that. You have governed your village very well, ensuring that everyone has enough to eat and wear and a place to live, so that they no longer have to wander around. You are a person of great merit."
The patriarch of the Kong family was extremely apprehensive. “No, no, Your Highness is too kind. It is nothing more than what a commoner should do.”
He was merely a local gentry, without even an official position, and dared not address himself as an official.
Xiaoxi then looked at Madam Wei and said, "Auntie, please sit down. You are a person of great merit. You have helped many poor students in mountainous areas and donated to three Hope Primary Schools."
When Madam Wei heard Xiao Xi say this, she was shocked.
She did all this out of compassion for those poor children, and she didn't leave her name. How did this little girl know?
Madam Wei lowered her head in shame. "Princess Xi, it is my fault for not raising my son well. I apologize to you on his behalf. Can you forgive him?"
"Auntie, please just call me Xiaoxi. Being a mother is really not easy for you." She still had to wipe her son's bottom.
Xiao Xi's implication was that Kong Xinlin was still a child, making his ancestors and mother apologize for his mistakes. Wasn't that shameful?
Kong Xinlin was indeed flushed with embarrassment, and stammered, "Miss Ye, Mr. Ye, I'm sorry! I..."
Xiaoxi snorted, "If it weren't for your great-grandfather and your mother's sake, I wouldn't even want to talk to you."
Kong Xinlin wiped the cold sweat from his face.
“It was my pettiness. Mr. Ye already had Mr. Wu’s assessment results. It was because I was jealous of his high level of achievement at such a young age and didn’t want him to do well.”
Kong Xinlin knelt down and turned to Ye Zhongnan.
“Mr. Ye, I’m so sorry. I was too narrow-minded. The competition venue was big enough and there were better spots available, but my ugly heart couldn’t bear to see you doing well, so I arranged that corner for you.”
Ye Zhongnan knew what Kong Xinlin was thinking. Now that Kong Xinlin had apologized, and after so many things, he had become much more magnanimous.
"Leader Kong, please stand up and speak!"
Xiaoxi saw that her second brother meant he had forgiven Kong Xinlin, so she stopped holding a grudge.
Anyway, Kong Xinlin's teeth were already aching and he had already farted on his heel. The main thing was that with the City God vouching for him, and the Kong family's ancestor and Kong Xinlin's mother pleading for him in a humble manner, she was too lazy to cause any more trouble.
"Alright, I don't need to remind you what to do next, Leader Kong."
Kong Xinlin felt relieved to hear Xiaoxi's words, but what about his son Binbin? How could he bring it up with the young girl?
