Chapter 462.4: The Cruelty of the Innocent?

Gong Wangfei naturally didn’t dare to continue. Getting this bluntly condemned in front of this many people by the Grand Elder Princess, her complexion thoroughly burned red, her fingernails all about to pierce into the flesh of her palm, and she further hated inside, cursing the Grand Elder Princess in all kinds of ways.

The Grand Elder Princess coldly sneered. What Gong Wangfei was thinking, she was very clear. Some people were just like this, forever not knowing to reflect upon oneself. “Why don’t you all also properly recount for Gong Wangfei, one by one, clearly and in detail.”

With that many children involved in this fight, what exactly was the cause, as long as one wasn’t blind, one should know. For the servants that came from the junwang manors, don’t look at how their master was also a wangye. Their master didn’t have the slightest power and wasn’t favored by his Majesty either. Their little master getting forcibly dragged over by Gong Qinwang Manor’s heir, committing a grave mistake together, offending the Grand Elder Princess, reasonably speaking, they should stand on Gong Qinwang heir’s side. After all, Gong Qinwang held power in hand and might ascend the throne, but unfortunately, too many people saw. One has to know, aside from those that participated in the matter, there were also even more spectators that were children from other families, and even some adults and servants.

The consequences of lying———The Grand Elder Princess punishing another family’s servant similarly was very easy. That’s why, to thoroughly lean towards Gong Qinwang’s heir was impossible, and to be half partial was just offending both sides. Thus, it was better to have it all pushed onto Gong Qinwang’s heir, having their own little master pulled out of this matter.

That’s why, for these people that were able to become personal servants to their little master, they all weren’t stupid. With the thought flashing through their mind, they already made the decision. Thus, all those mouths had the matter explained. As for the details, you add a few words, and I add a few words, in any case, the one that had the greatest fault was just Gong Qinwang’s heir, and second to him was Kang Qinwang’s second young master. The rest of the people weren’t at fault.

Gong Wangfei shook all over in anger, for a moment, sinking into isolation. However, no one sympathized with her. Even the personal servants of Gong Qinwang’s heir, at this time, also just trembled in fear, almost unable to continue standing, because they were very clear what they will be facing.

Gong Jiu rushed over, examining the little beansprouts, all just some minor wounds, just needing to apply a bit of medicine.

Jing Wan nodded, “Bai Shao, order someone to take them to go clean up, and apply some medicine, and change their clothes. Qing Zhu, figure out which families the children are from and inform their elders one by one, having the matter explained clearly.”

The two of them received the instructions and respectively began moving.

Kang Qinwang’s side consort also dragged along the second young master, personally taking him to go wash up. It goes without saying, the Grand Elder Princess was currently still angry, and staying behind at this time not only won’t dispel her anger, but might even pour oil on the fire, thus it was better to quickly leave and deal with it later.

Yu Yao, however, stood in place and didn’t move, holding the tiger cub that Gong Jiu has already confirmed to be dead, unwilling to let go.

The Grand Elder Princess finally went forward, “Yu Yao……….”

Yu Yao lifted her head, her tears also rolling down, “Mother, the little tiger died, died……Cousin-in-law agreed that as long as you approve, she’ll give to me. I promised cousin-in-law that I would properly take care of it, but now it died, mother……….”

The Grand Elder Princess has never seen Yu Yao this sad before, so naturally was very heartbroken, hurriedly wiping her tears for her, “Yu Yao, don’t cry, mother will let your maternal uncle stand up for you.”

Yu Yao had more than one maternal uncle, but who the Grand Elder Princess was referring to, everyone was well aware inside.

Gong Wangfei, who originally was similarly heartbroken over her son, and towards the people that will take her son to go wash up, it was also treating harshly, but upon hearing this, the discontent inside turned to fear. Without even needing to think, she just knew, if this matter gets brought before imperial father, what kind of outcome it will be. Even if her own son got bitten to the point of bleeding, having the heaviest injuries, it still can’t change the final outcome.

She originally planned on leaving with her son, but at this very moment, she had no choice but to push down this kind of thought. At present, it was thinking of a way to have the Grand Elder Princess coaxed to not have this matter reported to imperial father.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Paternal aunt, just now, it was my fault. I was also momentarily angered.” As she said this, she had her son dragged over, patting the back of his head, “You brat, who let you steal your biao aunt’s things. Merely just an animal, if you want, would your royal father and I not be able to give you? Quickly apologize to your biao aunt.”

Although it was apologizing, just the ins and outs of those words, the more one listened, the more one burned in anger.

Jing Wan very much suspected, exactly was it that her IQ had problems, or was she deliberately retorting by pointing at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree? Moreover, did she even realize where her son was truly wrong?

Gong Qinwang’s heir was even younger than Yu Yao, getting raised into a true little tyrant by Gong Wangfei. The ideologies he got instilled with was just, he was an imperial grandson, incomparably honorable, and can have anything he wants. With him like this now, his consort mother not only didn’t help him take revenge, but even let him apologize. No matter what, it was all difficult to quell. Stiffening his neck, “Why should I apologize? Merely just an animal, so what if I snatched, so what if I smashed? She’s even my elder, so shouldn’t she yield to me?”

Gong Wangfei in this moment really was about to get angered to death by her own son. Of course, in her eyes, she didn’t really feel what her son said was wrong, “You darn brat, letting you apologize, you should just apologize, what is all this nonsense.”

Gong Qinwang heir’s eyes reddened, “Consort mother, you’re helping outsiders and not helping me, I hate you.” Afterwards, he just ran off.

Gong Wangfei scolded ‘bastard thing’, and when facing the Grand Elder Princess’s cold and mocking expression, she unconsciously shrunk a little, “Paternal aunt…………”

“I’m unworthy.”

“Paternal aunt, paternal aunt, don’t be angry, I’ll apologize to younger cousin in place of that bastard, what do you think? ——–Yu Yao, your biao nephew, he’s still small, and not sensible, forgive him this time, alright? If you like little tigers, I’ll let your fourth older cousin find ten for you, and can play with however you want, what do you say?”

Yu Yao listened to her finish speaking and mockingly smiled, very much like the Grand Elder Princess, “Fourth cousin-in-law take me for an idiot? Forgive him? Fine, I don’t want others, those ten, leave for that son of yours to smash for fun. I just want this one. If you let it come back to life, I’ll let this matter go.”

Gong Wangfei got choked to the point of speechlessness by a little girl.

Yu Yao coldly sneered, and afterwards, looked towards the Grand Elder Princess and Jing Wan, “Mother, cousin-in-law, I’ll go wash up.” Afterwards, carrying the little tiger’s corpse, she silently walked away. The people serving her hurriedly followed after, and Jin Qinwang Manor’s servant girls hurriedly led the way.

“Adoptive mother, this matter, I also have responsibility…………..”

“Enough, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t have anything and everything all pushed onto oneself. Even if unable to be shameless like certain people, wishing to have all the blame pushed onto others, or look for excuses to erase, at least don’t stupidly shoulder responsibility that you shouldn’t shoulder.” The Grand Elder Princess coldly lectured Jing Wan.

“Adoptive mother is right to lecture, I will remember.” Jing Wan obediently listened.

“Enough, go take care of your own matters.”

Jing Wan and the Grand Elder Princess left one after another, leaving just Gong Wangfei behind standing in the same spot.

As for the people watching this good play, the children’s eyes were still pure and innocent, just those few womenfolk that either were worried about their child, or came to take a break, all couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves, using the handkerchief to cover their mouth, as if deliberately trying to be secretive. Getting laughed at by such a group of lowly sluts, Gong Wangfei just wanted to go rip them apart, but she ultimately could only endure, pretending that she didn’t know anything, so as to protect that remaining dignity of hers.

———–If the Grand Elder Princess’s words today spread out, her reputation really can stink up the streets!

Compared to this, how will she explain to her own husband, as well as imperial father?

The son, the grandson, not being good, certainly was just her, this mother, not educating right. No matter how many servants she brings out to take the fall, she still can’t escape the responsibility. ———-Luo-shi that bitch, sure enough, was naturally born to curse her. Every time something happened, it was all related to her. Gong Wangfei really hated very much inside, but was also deeply powerless, because she simply was unable to retaliate.

Because of Jing Wan’s order, all the children’s elders very quickly learned of this matter. Previously, they didn’t know the specifics, and after talking with their child once Jing Wan and them left, turns out, their own family’s child was actually involved as well, practically just getting ruthlessly slapped, really hating Gong Wangfei to death. How did she teach her son, never mind doing something stupid on his own, to even involve their family’s child. Thankfully, their own baby was fine. She really should look at what kind of situation she was in right now, to still not have a sense of propriety. Just wait, sooner or later, you will ruthlessly fall on your head, unable to crawl up again.

As for the Luo family’s children, the adults, with Luo Old Madam in the lead, all didn’t say anything. Actually, not saying was already equal to believing that they weren’t wrong. The children who were originally still somewhat nervous, mutually looked to one another, tacitly understanding, quietly and cautiously preparing to go play.

“When one should fight, one can fight, but need to learn to protect yourself, and mustn’t act recklessly.”

The children that were being ‘sneaky’ all froze, coming to realization, “Understood, grandmother.” They loudly answered.

Speaking of which, the disturbance of this matter was quite big. Very soon, the people in the front courtyard also learned.

Li Hong Yuan’s gaze lightly landed on Gong Qinwang.

Gong Qinwang couldn’t help but shiver inside, “Sixth brother, this is just your fault. Since you brought it back, there certainly won’t just be one. How come you didn’t just bring them all out? If everyone has one, then there won’t be the need to fight over that one, no?”

This was gaining the upper hand by striking first?

“Heh, this meaning of yours, the younger generation stealing the elder’s thing, a boy stealing a girl’s thing, ‘just destroying if unable to obtain’, these all aren’t wrong? As the saying goes, to teach by word and example. Could it be that fourth brother is just this kind of person?”
