Shen Tianci only thought that Xiaoxiao was praising his father. Although he and his father usually did not get along with each other like most father and son, he was still quite happy to hear this. After saying a few humble words, he asked, “How do you plan to deal with this matter?”
“Don’t tell me he’s going to let it go just like Buttface?”
The matter with Second Uncle Ning and Xiaoxiao’s family was different from ordinary assault cases. If they really did not sue, the county office could only let them go.
Shen Tianci had also heard a lot about his father’s cases. The familial matters in the village were the most difficult to deal with. If he did not manage enough, the commoners felt that the county magistrate had to make do with his job If ’ he interfered too much, they felt that the county magistrate was just messing around. It was very difficult. He might even be complained if he worked hard.
Of course, Shen Tianci was confident that Ning Xiaoxiao was not an insensible person.
However, most commoners did not want to have anything to do with the government. They would settle things privately if they could.
“When I came this morning, I saw that old lady begging to see her son outside the county office.”
Fortunately, his father had said that he would not let the old residence go to the Ning Family again. Otherwise, they would have cried and made a fuss long ago.
Xiaoxiao was interested. “Where is it? I’ll go take a look.”
Madam Song was immersed in her emotions and did not react so quickly. When she came back to her senses, her daughter had already run away. Although she was worried about Xiaoxiao, she could not leave the shop and Mrs. Shen, who was sleeping in the shop, alone. Fortunately, Yun Er came to tell her that Yun Yi had already followed her. Little Master Shen also had a pageboy by his side, so Madam Song was relieved.
Thinking of what their family head had suffered, she couldn’t help but clench her fists. This was too much. The old residence was simply too much! No matter what, she couldn’t let the matter rest. She had to make that bastard Ning Fengcai pay the price!
On the way to the county office, Shen Tianci sighed with emotion about the ginseng that Buttface could not protect.
“Although Li Muyan is annoying, the things he gave are really good. Even if he doesn’t sell that ginseng, it’s not bad to find a pharmacy to make it into a medicine and keep it at home as an emergency item.”
Xiaoxiao told him the story of Buttface and the tree root in a low voice, making Shen Tianci feel like he had discovered a new continent. “That works too?” Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Special times are special. You don’t have to be open and aboveboard when dealing with vicious people. Don’t be so inflexible.” Shen Tianci felt that these words were contrary to what was taught in the sages books, but he did not like the sages’ books.
Xiaoxiao, who did not realize that she was leading a child astray, came to the county office excitedly and saw Old Madam Ning pacing back and forth Old Madam Ning also discovered Xiaoxiao with a sharpness that did not match her age.
“Ning Xiaoxiao!”
Without waiting for her to shout, Xiaoxiao waved her finger. “Grandma, I advise you to readjust your tone with me.”
Old Madam Ning gritted her teeth. She was so angry at this brat’s smug look that she wanted to tremble. However, for her son, she really had no choice but to swallow her anger. “Little Ning Girl, you can’t write two Ning words with one stroke. Our families are connected by blood and bones. Are you really so heartless as to watch your Second Uncle go to jail?”
Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly. “Then Grandma, why are you and Grandpa so heartless? You clearly know what dirty things Second Uncle has done, but you still cover it up for him and continue to shamelessly take things from my family?”
After saying that, she clapped her hands. “Oh, I know, because you didn’t give birth to my father. You’re his stepmother, so Grandpa is like his stepfather.” Old Madam Ning’s expression was ugly. “Are you here to settle old scores with me?”
There was no hint of repentance in her tone.
Xiaoxiao was not surprised. She maintained her smile and said in a gloating tone, “Of course not. I’m here to ask Grandma. If your second son goes to jail Will your proud youngest son still be able to participate in the imperial examination and become an official? Will he still be able to soar and earn wealth for you?”
Old Madam Ning’s energy seemed to have been sucked away, and her soul was in a daze.
No, she could not ruin Third Brother’s future because of this!
Xiaoxiao continued, “But what should we do? The evidence is irrefutable, and we don’t accept reconciliation. Second Uncle isn’t like my family who has broken off our relationship with you, Little Uncle will definitely be affected.” A ruthless glint flashed across Old Madam Ning’s eyes.
Xiaoxiao returned in satisfaction.
She did not know what her parents were thinking. In any case, she did not plan to let the original host’s bastard second uncle off.
The unfamiliar and familiar feeling when she saw his ferocious face a few days
ago made her recall some memories about the original host.
Second Uncle Ning was experienced in telling others that Ning Xiaoxiao didn’t retaliate when she was hit or scolded. The original host, who was young, timid and naturally slower than others, didn’t dare to tell anyone even if she was hit ’ for no reason. Second Uncle Ning also specialized in picking tricky spots to attack, hence, he had never been discovered all these years.
It was true that Second Aunt Ning was the one who tricked the original host to the back of the mountain on a winter night last year, but Ning Fengcai was the one who kicked her until she fainted and lost the strength to cry for help.
How ruthless must they be to hit a child so hard? That made sense. They wanted the original host’s life to begin with.
In that case, don’t blame her for being merciless.
Those people in the old residence were all jackals of the same tribe. They were rather united in being ruthless and selfish. Then let’s see if they would stick together in peace from today onwards, or if they would seek benefits and disintegrate. They would sweep the snow in front of their own door and fly away in the face of danger.
Xiaoxiao, who had walked around, was in a better mood. If not for the fact that someone was treating her to lunch, she would have bought groceries and cooked a feast to celebrate.
Everyone in the old residence was selfish and cold. Let’s see who was the most selfish.
When she returned to the vicinity of the academy, it was about time. She simply went to the entrance of Bowen Academy with Yun Yi to wait for Big Brother and Little Big Brother Ah Yan. Not long after she stood still, she heard an angry voice. “I finally found you!”
Xiaoxiao focused her gaze and turned to ask Yun Yi, “Who is it?”
Yun Yi thought to himself, That Young Master Lei you humiliated at the entrance of the academy back then, but I can’t let you know who I know.
Hence, I put on a puzzled expression. “I’ve never seen him before.”
Xiaoxiao nodded and looked past Lei Shaoming, continuing to look for Big Brother and Little Big Brother.
How could Lei Shaoming tolerate this? He immediately strode over with the servant who was waiting for him at the door.
Out of etiquette, Shen Tianci did not listen to Xiaoxiao and her Grandma’s conversation just now, so he did not know what they were talking about. However, he could tell that Lei Shaoming did not come with good intentions Hence, before he got close, Shen Tianci welcomed him with an even more arrogant aura than the other party.
Lei Shaoming and Shen Tianci stared at each other. “Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people’s business?! Do you know who I am?”
After saying this, he recalled some unhappy experiences and glared at Xiaoxiao with a dark expression. However, the latter did not look at him at all and was even looking around on her tiptoes.
Students kept coming out of the academy, but she did not see the people she was waiting for.
At the side, Shen Tianci chuckled. As long as he was right in principle, he could almost do whatever he wanted in Xijiang County. Someone actually dared to be arrogant in front of him?
He immediately put on the airs of the county magistrate’s son.. “Then do you
know who I am?”
