"Zhao Qixi, open the door!"
"Squeak!" The door opened.
Before Zhao Xiaoyu could speak, the little girl admitted her mistake first, "Mom, I was wrong. You said they could play freely at home, so I thought I'd let them come out to play."
"you!"
"The servants in our household are timid, even more timid than the servants in the prefectural city. Mother, I was really wrong."
Xiao Lei entered the house and subconsciously pulled his daughter behind him. "Nothing serious happened. She knows she was wrong, so let's just leave it at that. Xiao Qi, quickly tell your mother that you won't do it again."
"Mother, I won't dare to do it again, I'll never dare to do it again."
The little girl was very sensible this time, standing obediently behind Xiao Lei, her attitude of admitting her mistake was extremely good.
Zhao Xiaoyu was convinced. What did Xiao Lei mean? Did he think she would hit the child?
"Okay, if you think it's okay, then it's fine." He then left.
Oh no, my wife is angry!
Xiao Lei quickly chased after her, "Wife, listen to me!"
"Little sister, look how naughty you are! Your parents are arguing."
"No, that's not it. It's just that Mom is petty and Dad dotes on me."
Da Bao shook his head. His little sister was too difficult to teach; he didn't think he could teach her well.
"Wife, listen to me!"
Zhao Xiaoyu flung his hand away. "You, Master Xiao, needless to say, you're so good at protecting your daughter. Of course she knows she was wrong. She caused trouble and hid away. When she saw you came, she knew she had someone backing her up! How many times has she used this trick? It works every time!"
"No, look how old she is. We can teach her slowly, okay? This time, scaring her will definitely teach her a lesson."
Zhao Xiaoyu turned her head away, indicating that she didn't want to listen to Xiao Lei. She was very angry!
The little girl is so good at reading people's expressions; she knows that someone will help her, so she'll only go even further next time.
He wasn't unaware of this, yet he repeatedly indulged it. And his father too—these two are simply unbelievable. They will bear a great responsibility if Qixi grows up spoiling them.
"Did I ever tell you to shut up and not to chime in when I'm teaching the kids?"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, honey!" Xiao Lei tried to take his wife's hand. "I just couldn't help it. She just begged me for help. She looks so much like you when you were little. I couldn't refuse her."
"You pulled her back, do you think I would hit her?"
"No, no, how could you hit a child!" Xiao Lei waved his hands repeatedly, "It was just... it was subconscious, you know? By the time I realized it, the child was already behind me."
Zhao Xiaoyu was so angry that her heart ached; neither of them could give her any peace of mind.
Xiao Lei leaned in close, "Wife, I was wrong, really wrong. From now on, you can scold her and I won't come into the house, okay?"
He won't soften his heart if he can't see him. Between his daughter and his wife, he will naturally choose his wife. He can't let his wife get so angry that he dies.
Zhao Xiaoyu took a deep breath to calm herself down.
“We’re going back to the village tonight; she’ll go even crazier here.”
"Okay, I'll pack my things, right away, we'll go back to the village immediately. I'll keep an eye on her when we get back!"
No, I need to have a serious talk with my daughter later. She can't keep messing with him like this. What if she loses her wife if she keeps doing it?
They didn't bring much with them, so packing was quick. Half an hour later, Xiao Lei carried the two children into the carriage.
"Dad, why are you leaving? I haven't lived in this house long enough." The little girl indicated that she didn't want to leave and planned to take people to break ice and catch fish the next day.
"You sit still, look how angry you've made your mother! Do you think you can keep making trouble here? Let's go home!"
The little girl was very upset. She decided to go back and complain to the master that they had bullied the children.
Zhao Dashu is holding a banquet tomorrow. Even without this incident, they should have gone back by now.
"Dad should have everything ready. You should get some rest when you get back. I'll go see if there's anything I can help with."
