Chapter 650: Going to Implicate Brother Shitou

Lu Qing'er was startled, lost her footing, and nearly fell in a sorry state.

Immediately after, she heard—"Brother Shitou!"

Tiantian had already quickly thrown herself into Xiaoshi's arms, clutching her hands tightly.

"Tiantian, are you alright?"

Xiaoshi was incredibly anxious; while asking, he looked Tiantian up and down to see if she was injured.

He then saw her bright red little hands and instantly furrowed his brows.

"How did your hands get like this?"

As he asked, he had already spotted the water stains by the bed and the teacup scattered on the floor, instantly understanding what had happened.

Xiaoshi pressed his lips into a thin line and looked at Lu Qing'er with a fierce expression.

"Did you take her away? And did you scald her hands with tea?"

Xiaoshi's tone was icy, and the pressure radiating from his body did not resemble that of an eight or nine-year-old child at all.

A flash of guilt quickly crossed Lu Qing'er's face, and she hurriedly argued, "She didn't hold it steady herself! It has nothing to do with me! I saw her picking flowers in the back garden, so I brought her up to discipline her a little!"

"I wasn't picking flowers! She's lying!"

Tiantian had finally waited for her "backer" and immediately refuted loudly, then aggrievedly pulled on Xiaoshi's hand and said slowly, "Brother Shitou, the flower had fallen on the ground; I just wanted to pick it up. Just now, she also intentionally splashed tea on me... and made me kneel down..."

The little girl felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, pouting her little mouth, looking as if she were about to cry.

Xiaoshi's heart tightened, and he felt incredibly distressed.

Before he could speak, he heard Lu Qing'er's sharp voice ring out again.

"She's lying! I didn't splash her on purpose! At such a young age, she's already learned to rely on lying to curry favor with men; who knows what she'll be like in the future! Young Master, the Second Master didn't bring this little girl back to raise her like a princess, did he? As the Second Master's woman, what is the problem with me disciplining her?"

Lu Qing'er brought up the Viper directly, intending to use his status to pressure Xiaoshi, her eyes filled with disdain.

So what if he was the Young Master?

He was nothing more than a brat!

Could he really do anything to her?

Xiaoshi did not speak, but the look in his eyes as he watched Lu Qing'er was filled with hostility.

After a long moment—"You two..."

He waved his hand, signaling the two people behind him to step forward.

The two subordinates immediately obeyed the order and stood at his sides.

Only then did Xiaoshi continue, "Hold her hands down."

"What do you want to do!"

Lu Qing'er had not expected that he would actually dare to have people lay hands on her, and she panicked instantly.

"I was brought back by the Second Master! What is wrong with teaching a little brat a lesson! Let's see who dares to touch me! Aren't you afraid of suffering the consequences!"

Lu Qing'er glared at the two men.

"Young Master, the Second Master's side..." The two men also looked at Xiaoshi with some hesitation, then subconsciously exchanged a glance.

It was common for the Second Master to change women, but this Miss Lu was the first to be so favored.

However, the Young Master had never targeted any of the women by the Second Master's side like this before; in the past, he wouldn't even spare them a second glance. This... how should they choose?

"Why aren't you moving yet? What are you waiting for?"

Xiaoshi urged them again in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

The two subordinates dared not delay and hurriedly walked toward Lu Qing'er again. One directly restrained her, while the other held down her hands and signaled to another companion nearby.

That person turned and walked out without a sound.

"Xiaoshi! If you dare to treat me like this, aren't you afraid your father will be angry!"

Lu Qing'er did not know what Xiaoshi intended to do, and her expression was somewhat flustered.

Xiaoshi, however, kept a grim face and, without the slightest hesitation, picked up the teapot placed to the side and aimed it at her hands.

That tea had been prepared not long ago.

As soon as he picked it up, one could feel wisps of heat.

Thinking of Tiantian's slightly reddened hands, a surge of anger erupted in the depths of Xiaoshi's eyes.

Then, without hesitation, he poured the tea directly onto Lu Qing'er's hands!

"Ahhh!!!"

Lu Qing'er immediately shrieked.

What had been splashed on Tiantian's little hands was only a little that had accidentally spilled.

But now, the boiling water from the teapot poured directly onto her hands, instantly turning her skin bright red!

"Ahhh! I was wrong! I was wrong! Stop!"

Lu Qing'er screamed in agony from the scalding, struggling hard, but she was held firmly in place.

Xiaoshi remained expressionless and unhurried until all the water in the teapot was poured out, only then placing it back on the table.

The room was deathly silent.

The two people holding Lu Qing'er did not even dare to breathe loudly, silently exchanging a glance.

It seems the Young Master really cares about that little girl!

The Second Master always said the Young Master lacked a ruthless streak...

Looking at it now, how could he be lacking?

It was just that no one had poked his anger point yet!

Tiantian was also stunned by the scene before her, looking at Xiaoshi in a somewhat dazed manner.

Just at this moment—"What are you shouting about? Qing'er, what have you done again!"

The voice of Poison Snake rang out from outside the door.

Upon hearing his voice, the two people holding Lu Qing'er immediately let go.

Finally gaining her freedom, Lu Qing'er rushed without a word into the arms of Poison Snake, who had just walked in.

"Second Master... you must stand up for me... sob sob sob..."

Lu Qing'er wept like a pear blossom in the rain, thrusting her hands, which had been scalded bright red, in front of Poison Snake.

She had expected the other party to be tender and protective, but unexpectedly, she was pushed away with a shove.

Poison Snake swept a glance at Tiantian, who was hiding behind Xiaoshi, and then asked in a deep voice: "Xiaoshi, was it you who had someone do this to Qing'er's hands?"

"It wasn't anyone else; it was me."

Xiaoshi admitted it candidly, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Lu Qing'er immediately seized the opportunity: "Second Master! I just saw that little girl not following the rules and wanted to teach her a lesson for you. You didn't bring that little girl back to raise as a goddaughter, did you? She has to follow the rules here!"

"Did I tell you to speak?"

Poison Snake was annoyed by Lu Qing'er's noise and shot a cold glare at her.

Lu Qing'er lowered her head instantly, not daring to open her mouth again.

Poison Snake then turned his head back to look at Xiaoshi; not only was he not angry, but there was even a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Xiaoshi, do you know whose person she is?"

Poison Snake asked again.

Xiaoshi's gaze flickered for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "She is Father's person."

"Then you still dared to lay a hand on her? Aren't you afraid I'll punish you?"

Poison Snake continued to press, the expression on his face casual and ordinary, making it impossible for anyone to discern his joy or anger.

Lu Qing'er, however, felt somewhat smug.

Second Master really does care about me after all!

This brat has such a stubborn temper; if he keeps being pressed like this, he'll be the one getting punished in the end!

The room was deathly silent.

Almost everyone was waiting for Xiaoshi's answer.

Tiantian also didn't dare to breathe, clutching Xiaoshi's sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

It's over...

She is going to get Brother Shitou in trouble!
