Chapter 1037: Chapter 837: I Won’t Allow Anyone to Bully Your Mother

The two women started fighting, but Nan Feng, with her daughter strapped to her back and the child being so small, couldn’t withstand the battle. Therefore, she primarily defended herself, striking back while retreating to a corner. What she didn’t expect was that Huahua suddenly picked up a long stick and swung it down on Nan Feng with full force. Nan Feng, protecting her daughter, instinctively turned to dodge, and the stick suddenly struck her head. Nan Feng felt a buzzing in her ears, her head grew heavy, and she almost fainted.

The baby in her arms began to cry.

Seeing this, Huahua was about to take advantage of her victory and hit Nan Feng a few more times with the stick, but the person collecting cow dung quickly intervened to stop Huahua, "That’s enough, any more and you could kill someone. Stop hitting her."

Huahua saw the blood on Nan Feng’s head, and her frenzy finally calmed down.

She threw down the stick and turned to leave.

The person collecting dung hurried to call for help.

Evening.

Nan Feng’s head was still spinning, and she vaguely remembered being carried back. She was in Tuoba Lie’s tent, lying on Tuoba Lie’s bed.

Xiaobao wasn’t by her side, but was being held in the arms of Tuoba Lie.

The baby had been crying initially, but stopped whenever someone held her, no matter who it was. Moreover, she smiled at Tuoba Lie, drooling with a plump, rosy face—unlike Nan Feng, Xiaobao seemed to be much more enthusiastic about him.

Several times, Tuoba Lie looked at Xiaobao, and his heart softened, even handing her a jade pendant as a toy. But as children are, she was only interested in it for a moment, soon tossing it aside. Tuoba Lie wasn’t bothered and picked it up for Xiaobao to play with again.

Nan Feng saw that Tuoba Lie harbored no ill will towards the baby, even giving her the royal jade pendant to play with, so she somewhat set her mind at ease. She was about to sit up when she heard someone shouting outside, "Prince, Huahua has been captured."

"Bring her in."

It wasn’t long before Huahua was brought in front of them. Tuoba Lie didn’t even look at her, his gaze still on Xiaobao, "Little thing, was it this woman who bullied you?"

Xiaobao wouldn’t understand, her head too unsteady to lift. But when addressed, she would coo twice, looking very happy.

"Then it seems to be her. I heard she hit your mother on the head with a stick?" Tuoba Lie asked Xiaobao casually, and Xiaobao, enjoying her play, even showed a shy look, accidentally drooling in the process.

Huahua, forced to kneel, said coldly, "That’s right, I was the one who hit her. The people you discard, aren’t they up for others to deal with? She was working on my land; she had to abide by my rules. I said the cow dung was enough, yet she stole from others. In the past, I would have killed several like her in a day."

Tuoba Lie still wasn’t looking at Huahua, instead keeping his eyes on Xiaobao in his arms, "Little one, although I didn’t like you at first, you’re now letting me hold you, even smiling at me. That makes you a lot better than some people. And you even dare to spit at me."

To everyone’s surprise, Xiaobao spat again, then laughed happily, flailing her arms and legs, oblivious to what was happening around her.

Tuoba Lie was thoroughly amused by the little one’s antics, "Look, you’re much better than certain people. You’re like this, and now I can’t help but stand up for you. Now that someone has bullied you and your mother, are you very angry?"
