Chapter 446: Chapter 444: Is It Very Impressive?

Moved by Ye Xinyan’s words, Jiuhua’s tears began to flow again as she sobbed, "It’s all my fault, my negligence. I failed to protect Brother Jia, and he was punched several times by those rascals. I, I..."

From the side, Qi Sanshun interjected, "It’s fine, what’s your fault? Were you supposed to just stand there and hold Xiao Jiajia while taking the blows without fighting back?"

The moment Jiuhua burst into tears, Zi Ning, who was tidying Qi Jiaer’s clothes, looked uneasily at Ye Xinyan and said, "Young Lady, this servant... At that moment, this servant..." The truth was, it wasn’t her lack of care for Brother Jia; it was Master Guan who wouldn’t let her and the guards step forward.

Ye Xinyan waved her hand at her, "It’s okay, we’ll ask for the details and talk about it later."

Zi Ning had always looked after Qi Jiaer very well, and now the three youngsters all had bruises and scrapes, and their clothes had been changed, implying their previous garments were likely torn. But Zi Ning was perfectly fine, not a scratch on her. No need to say, it definitely was that scoundrel Guan He who stopped Zi Ning from stepping forward.

Madam Yin, pulling Qi Jiaer towards herself, examined him up and down before nodding, "Hmm, it’s okay, nothing serious. Brother Jia, remember, we are good kids, we can’t always get into fights, you understand?" Her darling daughter had always been like this since she was young, and now, a lovable little rascal had just moved into the compound, and within a few days, he got into a fight as well.

Qi Jiaer defended himself, looking up, "Auntie, it’s not our fault, those people are the bad ones. They called us beggars, said we were worse than beggars, clinging to Duke An’s Mansion’s prosperity and refusing to leave. They also spoke ill of Sister, saying that back in the village, Sister should have been drowned in a pond. Uncle Guan said, we belong to Duke An’s Mansion and shouldn’t hold our breath; otherwise, we would be disgracing the Duke."

"..." Madam Yin was momentarily speechless, that Righteous Guan was really too much.

Then, Madam Yin heard her daughter saying, "Right, Uncle Guan is correct, they deserved to be beaten. Well done, later Sister will take you for some treats. And Jiuhua, you’re coming too."

Grinning, Qi Sanshun said, "There’s no need for Eldest Cousin to spend money, Master Guan said that in a couple of days he’ll take us out again, treat us to meals at the restaurant, and let us order whatever we like. It’s a reward for the three of us, including Jiuhua."

Madam Yin was speechless again, "..." Her daughter was still the same as before, and the kids she brought up were turning out just like her.

Seeing Madam Yin’s helpless expression, Nanny Jin quickly stepped forward to take the handkerchief from Song Ping’s Household and started to wipe Qi Jiaer’s face, saying gently, "In the future, if we meet such ill-mannered kids, we should avoid them at all costs. It’s not for them to decide what kind of people we are. Young Lady is a lady His Majesty has mentioned before, do their words carry more weight than His Majesty’s?"

Qi Jiaer replied earnestly, "We can’t avoid them. If we do, wouldn’t we be accepting their insults for no reason?"

"Exactly, we’ve done nothing wrong, why should we allow them to insult us for free?" Ye Xinyan added. Then she noticed Nanny Jin giving her a look of helplessness.

Alright, alright, enough said, at least not in front of Madam Yin and Nanny Jin.

Since Qi Sanshun was older, Ye Xinyan asked him and Zi Ning, "Which one of you tells me, who exactly were the ones fighting with you? Even if Master Guan didn’t get involved, the ones fighting with you must have had attendants with them, right? Did those attendants actually encourage their masters to fight?"

"I’ll tell you," Qi Sanshun eagerly responded, harboring anger inside, "They were only making trouble for us. Master Guan took us to the restaurant, and Xiao Jiajia and I didn’t want to stay in the dull private room, so we chose a table in the hall. Then some young masters of about ten years old started reprimanding the servers, accusing the restaurant of now serving beggars, questioning if they wanted to continue their business."

Madam Yin frowned upon hearing this, and Ye Xinyan raised an eyebrow, "They were speaking about you?"

Qi Sanshun replied, "I thought they were not talking about us, as we are not beggars. Then I heard the server hastily apologizing and asserting that their restaurant served only distinguished guests of status. Those few pointed directly at our table, saying, ’Aren’t those beggars?’"

"Xiao Jiajia didn’t expect they were insulting us, so he explained to them, saying we had silver and paid for our meals. Those people then spouted vicious words, claiming we were beggars using silver begged from Duke An’s Mansion. They even said we were worse than beggars because, while beggars would leave after receiving money, we kept clinging on to Duke An’s Mansion."

"Then we started arguing, and those young masters ordered their followers to attack..."

Ye Xinyan immediately widened her eyes. Were her three children beaten by those followers?

Qi Sanshun continued, "Master Guan had our guards block them, and Master Guan told those young masters that if they wanted a fight, it could be between the followers of both sides, or between the young masters themselves. The young masters, seeing the strength of our guards and outnumbering us, as well as being older, chose to fight the masters themselves. The five of them fought against the three of us."

Madam Yin was astounded; Righteous Guan didn’t play by the rules at all.

"That’s shameless," Ye Xinyan was almost slamming the table, "Five older kids in their teens beating up you three? Who do they belong to? Sister will lead you to their mansion, and we’ll fight them one on one to win back for you."

Qi Sanshun repeatedly waved his hands, "No need, no need. They are no match for me and Jiuhua. If it weren’t for the advantage of their age, they wouldn’t even compare to Xiao Jiajia. There were two who seemed no more than ten years old; if singled out, they’d definitely lose to Xiao Jiajia."

"So you’re saying you didn’t suffer any losses?" Ye Xinyan felt more at ease.

The people in the room, especially Song Ping’s household, were completely unaware of Ye Xinyan’s capabilities, and were shocked by the situation unfolding before them.

Since their family had been bought back by the Qi family, they had only seen the glamorous Lady Qi. In the countryside, at least in Clear Water Village and Qingyuan County, there were very few who could afford to offend the second branch of the Qi family. So the people from An Ping’s household were indeed seeing such a young miss for the first time. If the young lady taught her brothers in this manner, what kind of children would they grow up to be?

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Qi Sanshun answered, "Anyway, they were all crying for their fathers and mothers, squealing like pigs, while we didn’t. Xiao Jiajia, such a small child, wasn’t as worthless as them and didn’t cry out once."

Qi Jiaer, standing beside him, was very proud, nodding non-stop and saying with disdain, "That’s right, that’s right. They were so pathetic, crying like that when they are so big. One of the brothers even cried, wanting his mother."

Ye Xinyan looked towards Jiuhua, "How did Jiuhua’s little face get smudged like that?"

Qi Sanshun hurriedly explained, "Jiuhua started crying when he saw Qi Jiaer’s face getting swollen from being hit."

Ye Xinyan asked, "Do you know whose sons those young rascals were?"

All three children shook their heads together. So they were insulted and got into a fight, and they still didn’t even know who the other party was.

Zi Ning hesitated for a moment, then said, "This servant heard them mention Xing Mansion. That Young Master Xing said he would go back and ask his family’s old master to seek justice for them."

"Xing Mansion?" Ye Xinyan looked towards Madam Yin. Which Xing Mansion, is it very powerful?
