Su Xiaoxiao gave Xiao Ran a disgusted look.

"You wasted so much of my time just because of your stupidity, and you still want me to apologize? No way! If there's any apology, it should be you apologize to me!"

Now that the purse has been found and the thief has been caught, there is nothing left for her to do. She still has to go shopping and doesn't plan to stay long.

She bowed to the yamen runners.

"Gentlemen, now that the thief has been caught, please punish him. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

Before the yamen runners could react, Su Xiaoxiao had already turned around and left. She walked to the cart and pushed it away.

Xiao Ran pointed at Su Xiaoxiao's departing back and looked at the yamen runners in confusion.

"What does she mean? She just walked away after hitting someone? Where's the apology?"

The yamen runners' mouths twitched.

Xiao Ran still dares to shout?

Aren’t you afraid of getting beaten again?

Although they didn't know Su Xiaoxiao's fighting strength, they were sure that this woman was brave and not a pushover!

It was easy to deal with Xiao Ran who didn't know kung fu.

If they hadn't been there, Xiao Ran would probably have been beaten by Su Xiaoxiao to the point of crying for mercy.

They couldn't speak directly, so to save Xiao Ran's face, they had to persuade him.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Xiao. It's not worth getting angry with a woman!"

"Yes, she is young, so she must be an ignorant little girl. We adults are magnanimous and will not argue with her."

Xiao Ran stamped his feet in anger.

Not only did he lose such a big person, but he was also slandered as a thief. He really wanted to run over and stop Su Xiaoxiao and have a good argument with her.

But thinking about how painful the fall he just had was, he needed to rest, so he decided to spare that little girl this time.

But he has remembered this grudge and will definitely take revenge.

The leading yamen runner asked the two yamen runners who were supporting Xiao Ran to escort Xiao Ran back, while he led the team to take the thief back to the yamen.

After a brief episode, everything returned to normal, but the news that Xiao Ran was mistaken for a thief and beaten by a little girl spread like wildfire throughout Changming County.

Xiao family.

Xiao Ran's father, Xiao Wenchang, had just concluded a business deal and was leisurely drinking tea in a rocking chair at home when his second wife, Dai Zhi, hurried in from outside.

"Master! Master, something's wrong!"

Dai Zhi was originally Xiao Wenchang's concubine. After his first wife, Meng Ruyan, Xiao Ran's biological mother, passed away, he promoted his only concubine Dai Zhi to be his second wife and put her in charge of the household affairs.

She gave birth to a son for Xiao Wenchang, named Xiao Jin, who is ten years old this year.

Xiao Wenchang sat up straight and asked nervously.

"Why are you so flustered? What happened?"

Dai Zhi walked too fast and couldn't catch her breath for a while.

"Master, Ran'er...Ran'er..."

When Xiao Wenchang heard that it was Xiao Ran's business again, his face immediately darkened.

"What trouble has that rebellious son caused me again?"

Dai Zhi took a breath.

"Master, Ran'er didn't get into trouble this time, he was just beaten."

Xiao Wenchang lay back in the rocking chair and took another sip of tea.

"With his unyielding nature, how could he be beaten?"

"Yeah, I heard he was beaten by a little girl! Now this matter is spreading like wildfire in Changming County."

"It's good to have someone teach him a lesson. It can help to cool his arrogance and prevent him from being lawless and arrogant all day long!"

Xiao Wenchang drank his tea nonchalantly.

"Why was he beaten?"

"This one……"

Xiao Wenchang saw Dai Zhi avoiding his gaze, speaking hesitantly, and with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"Speak! Don't hide it for him!"

"I heard...I heard he stole someone's purse!"

A surge of fire shot up to the top of Xiao Wenchang's head.

"What a bastard! It's not enough that he gets into trouble all day long, he even learned to steal things. He has brought shame to the Xiao family. Is he deliberately trying to piss me off to death?"

He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground with force.

Snapped!

The crisp sound filled the whole house.

The fine porcelain teacup smashed to pieces on the ground, and the unfinished tea in the cup spilled all over the floor.

Dai Zhi hurried forward, squatted beside the rocking chair, and stretched out her slender hand to help Xiao Wenchang breathe smoothly on his chest.

"Master, please don't be so angry. Take care of yourself! I only heard it from others. I'm not sure what the specific situation is. What if Ran'er was wrongly accused?"

"If he didn't do anything sneaky, how could he be wrongly accused? It must be his fault!"

"Master, Ran'er is your own son, why do you say that about him? What if it's a misunderstanding?"

Xiao Wenchang sighed.

"He was so disrespectful to you, and you still spoke up for him!"

"He's still a child after all."

"You're already eighteen, but you're still a child!"

"But he is your and my sister's child. My sister has been kind to me. Now that she is gone, I naturally have to take good care of her only child. If I don't protect him, who will?"

Xiao Wenchang's anger instantly subsided by half.

"You are so kind! It's all because of that brat that he didn't understand your good intentions!"

"Master, Ran'er is a child we have watched grow up. He is not a bad person by nature, but he just lacks discipline. Please be patient with him."

Xiao Wenchang was deeply moved when he heard this, and he held Dai Zhi's hand tightly.

"Having you by my side is enough for my life!"

"Master, now is not the time to pour out our hearts. Hurry up and get Ran'er here to see if he's hurt so we can get a doctor to check him out!"

Xiao Wenchang nodded and shouted to the outside of the door.

"Xiaokang, call Xiao Ran over."

"Yes, sir!"

Kangfu responded and turned to leave.

He is two years younger than Xiao Wenchang. He has been with Xiao Wenchang for many years, helping Xiao Wenchang manage many businesses. He is also Xiao Wenchang's most trusted person.

He came to Xiao Ran's room, but there was no one in the room.

Just as he was about to go out to ask about Xiao Ran's whereabouts, he saw Xiao Ran being carried back by the servant Donglai.

When crossing the threshold, Xiao Ran screamed in pain because he lifted his legs too much.

"Ouch, go slower, you want to hurt your master to death!"

Donglai apologized repeatedly.

"It's all Donglai's fault. I hurt you, Master. Please bear with it. We'll be able to lie down soon."

Kang Fu looked at the two of them, bewildered.

Was he beaten?

Looking across the entire Changfeng County, how many people dare to hit their young master!

He hurried forward to help and supported Xiao Ran together.

"Master, what's going on?"

Donglai pouted and said angrily, "It's all my fault. If I had insisted on accompanying the young master today, the young master wouldn't have been beaten!"

"What? He was really beaten? Who is so bold as to hit our young master?"

"I heard it's a little girl!"

"What?"

Kangfu was even more confused.

Logically speaking, it is their young master's job to bully others, so how could he be bullied by a little girl?

The two of them worked together and carefully put Xiao Ran on the bed.

Xiao Ran lay down on the comfortable and soft bed, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

Thinking of the scene of being beaten just now, he was furious.

He pounded the bed hard.

"It's all that crazy woman's fault! Ouch! It hurts!"

He hit his hand too hard and hurt it.
