"Yes, but it doesn't seem like he was hurt. He's standing here perfectly fine, isn't he?" Hong Xiaoduo admitted frankly and even asked in return.
The younger members of Tian Shu thought to themselves that she wasn't wrong. If someone really wanted to hurt this guy, he wouldn't recover without suffering broken bones and internal injuries and lying in bed for months.
Upon hearing this, Quan Jinghuai glanced thoughtfully at Hong Xiaoduo. She wasn't actually reckless; otherwise, given her temperament, that kick of hers would have nearly killed the boy.
I guess they were planning to spend the Lunar New Year here, so they controlled their strength.
However, she can now control her strength, which means she is more powerful than before!
"Judging from your tone, young lady, it seems you've already shown mercy to my son?" Jiang An looked at the group of people of all ages opposite him, then met Hong Xiaoduo's gaze again and asked with a smile.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded and said, "That's right. When I make a move now, there are only three possible outcomes for the other party. The first is the lightest outcome, like what happened to him, where he was in pain but not seriously injured."
Second, internal injuries from fractures.
Third, they are sent directly to the King of Hell.
Judging from his behavior today, he deserves a broken bone and internal injuries, but who cares, it's almost the New Year. Regardless of what he tells you when he gets home, as his father, you should know your son's character very well, right? You couldn't discipline your son properly, and I've already taught him a lesson without even asking for a reward. Since you've brought him and his servants here, you're definitely not here to reason with me, so let's just do it.”
Upon hearing Hong Xiaoduo's words, Jiang An suddenly smiled.
"You damned woman, listen to what you're saying! You've made my father laugh in anger," Jiang Baicheng said from the side.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever I caused trouble outside, my father would either beat or scold me. The mildest punishment was kneeling in the ancestral hall, while the most severe punishment was a severe beating with a rattan cane and confinement to my home.
This was the first time his father had come out with him to seek justice for him, and Jiang Baicheng was deeply moved. He guessed that his father's change of heart must be because he had seen him suffer a loss.
In the past, it was always the other person who suffered a loss, and my father would apologize and pay compensation with a dark face.
With his father's support, Jiang Baicheng felt more confident and was no longer afraid of the fierce young woman in front of him. Without realizing it, he took two steps forward.
No sooner had Jiang Bai'an finished speaking than his father shouted, "Kneel down!"
"Did you hear that? My father made you kneel down and apologize to me, pay me a thousand taels of silver, and buy me a drink... Ouch!" Before Jiang Baicheng could finish his arrogant words, he was kicked in the back of his knees and fell to his knees with a thud.
Before he could even open his mouth to curse, he turned around and heard his father's scolding voice again: "You good-for-nothing, I'm telling you to kneel down."
Huh? What happened?
This scene not only stunned Jiang Baicheng and his servants, but also surprised Hong Xiaoduo and the others standing opposite him.
“Young lady, I am not here to seek revenge or justice for my son. Although I did not explain the real reason in the mansion, as you said, how could I not know what kind of person my son is?”
"The reason I came with him was to see who exactly taught him a lesson. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a thank-you gift, but I will definitely make it up to him later," Jiang An said with a smile.
Huh? After hearing what Jiang's father said, everyone was still a little stunned.
Aside from Hong Xiaoduo, when I first saw this person, I was a little puzzled. This person looked very stern, but had clear eyes. I wondered why most children are like their parents, who are good but spoil their children too much, which is why the children grow up to be crooked.
Putting everything else aside, Hong Xiaoduo had never seen a father like Jiang before. Generally speaking, if a father is angry that his son is not up to par when he is beaten, he would not act like this!
“Now you see,” Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile, shrugging her shoulders.
Jiang An smiled and nodded, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hong Xiaoduo and said, "I thought it was a burly man, but it turns out to be a young lady. Hahaha, good, this bastard has finally met his match and suffered."
"Father?" Jiang Baicheng exclaimed in disbelief. So that's why his father was acting so strangely, not punishing him at home, but following him here.
If I had known it would be like this, I would never have come.
Being beaten in the mansion is a father disciplining his son, it's not shameful. But now? Doing this in front of outsiders, not only will these out-of-towners be smug and laugh at him, but the servants who came with him have also seen it!
"You unfilial son, shut up!" Jiang An faced his son and immediately turned serious, shouting sternly.
Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but laugh when she saw Jiang Baicheng kneeling down resignedly.
I'm really curious, how could a son like Mr. Jiang, who is so strict and whose son is so afraid of him, have turned out so badly?
“Mr. Jiang, guests are guests. If you’re not busy, why don’t you come in and have a seat and a cup of tea?” Hong Xiaoduo said.
Huh? Mr. Jiang didn't expect that they would invite him.
"No rush, no rush. It's just that I'm empty-handed. Otherwise, I'll come to visit formally with a thank-you gift another day." Mr. Jiang hesitated for a moment, but he also felt that this young lady was quite to his liking. She was so young, yet so poised and open-minded.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said, "There's no rush for a thank-you gift. We're staying here until the New Year before we leave. Mr. Jiang can take his time preparing. Please come in."
"Very well, very well, then I, Jiang, will humbly accept your offer." Jiang An smiled and cupped his hands again, then followed Hong Xiaoduo inside.
He had already stepped one foot over the threshold when he suddenly remembered something. He turned to the servants in his household and said, "Keep a close eye on him while he kneels. If you dare to let him get up, or if he runs away, you will no longer be able to work in my household."
"Yes," the servants replied in unison.
After giving his instructions, Jiang An turned around and looked at Hong Xiaoduo, his face immediately lit up with a smile, and he continued walking inside with Hong Xiaoduo.
Outside the courtyard gate, Quan Jinghuai, Fei Yan, and the seven children came to their senses, truly never expecting things to turn out this way!
It's a bit of a shame that the fight didn't happen, but seeing this bastard kneeling there looking utterly hopeless is kind of satisfying.
Everyone turned and walked into the courtyard, and they even tacitly left the gate open so they could peek over at any time to see if the kid would sneak up.
Before entering the courtyard, Quan Jinghuai glanced at the unlucky guy kneeling down and thought to himself, "Xiao Duo is being so hospitable today, she probably just wants this kid to kneel for a while longer!"
Inside the courtyard, seeing everyone enter, A-Ping also knelt outside. The standing servants looked at him before following at the very back. It was unbelievable that things had turned out this way!
After arriving at the main hall, Hong Xiaoduo remembered to introduce her family to Jiang's father.
Feiyan went to fetch water to make tea, and Quan Jinghuai greeted them before taking his disciples out to do their own things: some were clearing away dishes, others were skewering food for the evening barbecue, and still others were looking for a barbecue grill in the carriage.
Feiyan came in carrying a teapot, poured a cup of tea for each of the two people sitting down, and then went out to attend to her work.
Mr. Jiang picked up his teacup, looked at the tea inside, and squinted slightly as he inhaled the fragrant aroma...
