Chapter Seventy-Two
"Hey!" Xie Jincheng quickly put the silver note into his pocket, feeling extremely happy. He thought to himself, "So, even though the brat is injured, I can still get such good treatment?"
I regret it a little. If I had known, I would have sent that brat to Rushan Academy sooner.
Thinking of how upset Yao Shi had been, Xie Jincheng decided that he would definitely go to the Treasure Pavilion later to choose a beautiful piece of jewelry for his wife and then coax her properly.
Xie Jincheng was lost in his own thoughts.
Old Master Xie was unhappy.
"Hmph, you took my money, so don't just think about how to coax your wife. This money is for my precious grandson to go to school," Old Master Xie said with a displeased expression.
"Father is right!" Xie Jincheng responded readily. After all, his father had paid the money. They say even a goose can be skimmed off a feather, so he was willing to save his wife the money for a gold hairpin.
On the other side...
"My dear grandson has really suffered a lot this time. That rascal Xie Jincheng is getting more and more outrageous as he grows up. What kind of lousy academy did he pick for my grandson?" Old Mrs. Xie said with a dissatisfied look.
Madam Yao lowered her head, feeling distressed, but she couldn't very well criticize her husband in front of her mother-in-law.
"Take these, take them, don't mistreat the child." Old Mrs. Xie handed the box from the maid's hand to Madam Yao.
“Mother-in-law…” Yao asked, somewhat puzzled.
Yao opened it and took a look. Inside, she found a fine headdress, a stack of silver notes, and what appeared to be a land deed.
Yao's tears were stuck in her eyes, neither falling nor coming down.
Did the mother-in-law give so much money as a bribe after her son was injured?
"Alright, our Yanzhi is a good boy. After this incident, everything will surely go smoothly for him from now on. I heard that Miss Li is protecting some children. Later, you should also take some gifts to visit Miss Li." Old Madam Xie then thought of Li Zhiwei and said.
“Mother is right.” Madam Yao had no objection to this. After all, the other party was protecting her child. Otherwise, Xie Yanzhi’s injuries would definitely not have been just superficial wounds.
"The Lin family is blind. Miss Li seems to have a good nature, but they insisted on marrying that cousin. Humph, now that the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion has fallen on hard times, in the future, when Miss Li marries Prince An in the capital, we will help her if we can, considering how she risked her life to save Yanzhi." Old Madam Xie felt that the Xie family should remember the favor Li Zhiwei had done for her grandson.
“Mother’s words are correct,” Yao nodded.
"Alright, now that the money's all gone, tell your wife not to let my grandson suffer any more." Old Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Yanzhi with a touch of heartache.
I think this incident might be because the couple probably didn't have much money, which is why they chose Rushan Academy for Xie Yanzhi. If he had gone to the Imperial Academy, none of this would have happened today.
Li family
"Father, don't worry, I'm really fine." Li Zhiwei looked at her father, who was sitting by her bedside sighing, and felt a little uneasy.
But given the circumstances at the time, how could she afford to think too much?
Those children are so young; if she hadn't protected them, they would have been hurt much worse than she is now.
You might even lose your life.
"You call this nothing?" Li Tianyou was truly exasperated by the frequency with which Li Zhiwei kept getting into trouble.
"Father, I know I was wrong." Li Zhiwei knew that Li Tianyou was worried about her, so she quickly apologized.
“Wei’er, you’re our only child. We can’t accept this. We’re worried something might happen to you.” Li Tianyou looked at his daughter and sighed.
However, his daughter was also innocent in this matter, and Li Tianyou couldn't say what his daughter had done wrong.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely be more careful next time." Li Zhiwei felt a little sad looking at her father's expression.
