Now Qin Yubao was the only one left in the courtyard.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qin Yubao was very dissatisfied. After a short while, he ran to Li Chang'an's door again and started banging on it incessantly.
At that moment, Li Chang'an was sorting out the problematic accounts when he was startled by the sudden knocking on the door, causing his hand to tremble and his brush to fall onto his body.
Seeing the large, glaring ink stain on his clothes, Li Chang'an was immediately filled with rage—Qin Yubao was simply outrageous!
Li Chang'an slammed the pen down on the table and got up to open the door.
"Qin Yubao! If you keep fooling around, I'm going to spank you!"
Li Chang'an stared at the tiny girl, who only reached her thighs, with a serious expression, looking down at her with an air of superiority.
Qin Yubao was terrified when he heard that he was going to get a spanking. He widened his eyes and took two steps back.
I've never been hit before in my entire life!
Li Chang'an originally thought that the child was frightened by him and was ready to stop there, but who knew that the next second Qin Yubao sat down on the ground and started crying and making a fuss.
This scene left Li Chang'an speechless. He had only been joking and hadn't actually done anything, yet the man was getting all worked up.
"Someone come here!"
Li Chang'an was so annoyed by Qin Yubao that she had no choice but to frown and call over two servants.
"Take the young master back."
Li Chang'an frowned and gave the order.
Although the two servants were a little confused, they did as they were told, each grabbing one of Qin Yubao's arms and carrying him out.
Even as they lifted her up, Qin Yubao struggled, kicking and screaming as she was dragged away.
Now that things were finally peaceful, Li Chang'an sighed helplessly, rubbing her aching temples. She considered that if possible, she would definitely keep this brat by her side and discipline him properly.
However, upon thinking of Qin Xiashi's protective nature, Li Chang'an dismissed the idea, deciding it was best not to cause trouble for himself for the time being.
"Li Chang'an, come out here! I'm not finished with you, you wicked woman!"
Lost in thought, Li Chang'an suddenly heard a commotion outside. A hint of displeasure appeared on his face as he thought to himself, "Didn't I just have those servants take the person away?"
"Knock knock knock!"
The sound of banging on the door rang out again, this time completely hitting Li Chang'an's sore spot.
This brat is absolutely unbearable!
Li Chang'an immediately stood up again, his anger flaring, opened the study door, and without saying a word, grabbed the little boy in front of him and dragged him out.
At this moment, Qin Yubao realized that he had been lifted up. He immediately began to struggle, and seeing that the struggle was in vain, he actually reached out and grabbed Li Chang'an's arm and opened his mouth to bite.
That's how he broke free from those two servants.
Li Chang'an was caught off guard and Qin Yubao bit his hand.
Suddenly feeling a sharp pain on the back of his hand, Li Chang'an immediately threw Qin Yubao to the ground.
"Waaaaah..."
Qin Yubao fell on his bottom while sitting on the ground. Although it didn't hurt much, he still burst into exaggerated wailing.
"Don't cry!"
Li Chang'an had never been able to handle such crying children, and she didn't know how to coax them, so she could only keep a straight face and use a commanding tone to tell Qin Yubao to shut up.
But the more Qin Yubao cried, the more intensely he cried, and he refused to get up from the ground.
Just then, Li Changsheng came out of the house after hearing the commotion. He looked at Li Chang'an, who was looking irritable, and Qin Yubao, who was sitting on the ground crying and making a fuss. He couldn't help but show a slightly surprised expression.
Could it be that Li Chang'an lost control and beat up this brat?
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng couldn't help but show a hint of schadenfreude on his face.
"Chang Sheng, come here."
At that moment, Li Chang'an saw Li Changsheng as if he had seen a savior, and quickly waved him over.
Li Changsheng quickly responded and then scurried over, wondering what instructions the other party had.
"You...you can help me comfort him, sigh..."
Li Chang'an seemed somewhat embarrassed. After speaking, she couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling as if she had become a big bad guy who bullied children.
"You want me to coax him? How do I do that? I don't know how!"
Now it was Li Changsheng's turn to feel at a loss. He scratched his head in bewilderment, feeling that this was even harder than memorizing a book.
However, there's a saying that goes, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run." So, under Li Chang'an's threatening gaze, Li Changsheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Hey, please stop crying."
"Wow--"
"Oh, get up first, sitting on the floor is so dirty..."
"Ahhh!"
"Tsk, is he even a man?! Always crying and whining!"
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Changsheng was defeated and slunk back. He felt that although he had tried his best, Qin Yubao was simply unyielding and wouldn't listen to reason or pressure.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, another uninvited guest arrived at Li Chang'an's courtyard.
Qin Xia rushed to Qin Yubao's side, then swiftly picked the child up from the ground, took out a handkerchief to wipe his snot and tears, feeling extremely distressed.
"Brother Bao, don't cry, don't cry..."
Upon seeing the person who could support her arrive, Qin Yubao cried even harder, clinging tightly to Qin Xiashi as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"How could you do this? Bao-ge is just a child! How could you all gang up on him and bully him like this!"
As she spoke, Qin Xia's eyes reddened. Holding Qin Yubao, she stared intently at Li Chang'an and Li Changsheng, hysterically accusing them, just like a vulnerable mother and son being bullied.
"Just because you have status and power, does that give you the right to bully people? Is there no justice or law left? Our Bao-ge is still so young, you're so heartless..."
Seeing that Li Chang'an and Li Changsheng did not refute anything, Qin Xiashi felt that they must be guilty because they had done something wrong.
This gave her even more confidence. She wanted to make a big scene, ideally to the point that these two people couldn't stay in the General's Mansion anymore.
So she started to sob as she spoke.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiashi really didn't understand Li Chang'an's character. If it was something he hadn't done, Li Changsheng would absolutely not tolerate others smearing him.
The reason she didn't respond was simply because she was annoyed by these people and didn't want to waste her breath.
