mained unchanged."Three thousand taels."She stared at Fu Ming's wide eyes and pretended to hesitate, "If Young Master Fu doesn't have so much silver, then perhaps we should just forget it."Before the..."Brother! A bad woman is bullying me!"

"Oh, oh, oh, Yuánbǎo has apologized, but she's still scolding Yuánbǎo and having her arrested."

When Dong'er heard this, his face changed color. The next second, he saw the wound on Yuán Bǎo's palm, which was still oozing blood. His eyes instantly turned as cold as ice.

Yuanbao is the apple of everyone's eye in the family. No one would ever dare to scold him, let alone hurt him.

Dong'er held the gold ingots behind her back.

"Don't worry, with your older brother here, no one dares to bully Yuanbao."

"Who scolded you"

With his older brother supporting him, Yuan Bao seemed much more confident. He stretched out his little arm and pointed at Yuan Xiangli and her maid.

"There they are!"

"You scolded Yuanbao for having no manners."

Dong'er stepped forward. Yuan Xiangli, at first glance, saw that it was another little brat and didn't take Dong'er seriously at all. She gave a wink to the maid beside her and sat down on a stone bench nearby.

"You're the older brother of this little thing"

"My younger brother has a name, it's not 'little thing'. At the very least, you're guests in someone else's home, don't you have any manners"

Just a lowly maidservant, Dong'er doesn't need to be too polite to her.

Though Dong'er is young, when he sets his face and speaks, there is a certain air of nobility about him.

The maidservant was taken aback, feeling that this boy wasn't like ordinary children. Could he possibly be the son of some noble family

The maidservant was a little frightened and glanced back at Yuan Xiangli. When she met Yuan Xiangli's fierce gaze, she immediately trembled. Compared to the two children opposite her, their own mistress was much more terrifying.

She quickly gathered her composure, swallowed nervously, and continued to accuse him.

"It was your younger brother who ran into my wife first and damaged her clothes."

"Can't we give him a piece of our mind yet"

Dong'er understands about Yuanbao. If things were only this simple, Yuanbao wouldn't have run away.

"I understand my brother. If he did hit someone intentionally, he will definitely apologize to you."

“We will also compensate for the clothes at the original price until this lady is satisfied.”

"What's wrong with my brother's hand"

That maidservant let out a sneer, "Of course it was his own fault for not watching where he was going. Does that mean we're to blame"

We haven't even settled the score about him running away after hitting someone.

Yuanbaoqi came out angrily and shouted, “I didn’t hit anyone and run away. Yuanbao has already apologized to you.”

"It's you guys, calling Yuan Bao uncultured, and then trying to arrest me!"

Dong'er heard the words "uneducated" and her temples throbbed with anger.

He looked at Yuan Xiangli, "Madam, you don't seem to be from a humble background. Is this treatment towards such a young child a bit excessive"

Besides, my younger brother has already apologized to you, and we are willing to compensate for the clothes. Yet, you still allow your maidservant to chase after him. What reason do you have for this!

Yuan Xiangli saw that this boy had some eloquence. After the maid said two sentences, he was no longer her opponent. She stood up and showed a contemptuous smile.

"You hit me and ruined my clothes, is an apology enough"

"Then I'll just disable this kid's hand, and apologize to him. Does that work"

Dong'er’s face was as dark as charcoal.

"You look old enough for me and my brother to call you grandma. It's really not worth it to argue with a three-year-old like this. People will laugh at us if they hear about this."

Yuan Xiangli's mood was particularly bad today, she just had to be petty.

"Back in the day, I would've just given this kid a few slaps to vent my anger and let him go."

But today, this Madam is in a particularly bad mood. You two boys are unlucky.

"Comers, catch them for me! Today, this Madam will properly teach you two ignorant brats a lesson about how to behave!"

Yuan Xiang's two little attendants behind him quickly ran towards Dong Er and Yuan Bao. Dong Er, seeing this, pulled Yuan Bao and was about to run away.

He regretted it deeply, having run into such an unreasonable madwoman. He should have grabbed Yuánbǎo and fled immediately instead of wasting so much breath!

"Help! Someone, come quickly!"

"Someone is trying to catch me and Yuanbao, come quickly!"

Dong'er ran and shouted, but unfortunately all the servants in the backyard were in the front yard serving tea, water, and refreshments to the guests.

The backyard used to have people in it, but they just happened to be gone at the moment.

Dong'er called out for a long time, but no one came. As he and Yuanbao were about to be caught, Zong Pingchuan suddenly appeared.

What are you doing

He recognized these two servants as attendants to his wife. He scowled and reprimanded them.

"This is still on someone else's land, chasing two children like this, what decorum!"

The maids, seeing their master suddenly appear, quickly stopped their steps and answered meekly.

"Master, it was these two boys who bumped into the mistress and damaged her clothing. That's why the mistress ordered their capture."

Zongpingchuan lowered his head and looked at Dong'er and Yuanbao. When he saw the two children, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he squatted down.

"Don't be afraid, what are your names Who are your parents"

Dong'er and Yuanbao were trained by Fang Jinshu to deal with strangers from a young age. They would never reveal their true information to people they didn't know.

"My name is Nannan, this is my younger brother JInbao."ragrance and a strong medicinal scent. Zong Bai, already in the prime of his youth with surging blood, felt a flutter in his heart upon being enveloped by the warmth.The sound of those outside speakin...
