The misunderstanding about my eldest brother's fight had just been resolved when the issue with my worthless father surfaced.
What will they say this time? How will the Emperor see this? I feel so embarrassed right now!
At this moment, Xia Tingfeng suddenly sneered, his face full of sarcasm. "Such a trivial matter doesn't require troubling The Government Office. I will kill him myself to prevent future troubles!"
Having said that, he glared menacingly at the skinny old man, whom he had already beaten until he couldn't move.
Xia Ruqing's gaze followed his. However, she wasn't interested in the old man; her attention was on the girl. The girl had been sitting beside the old man the whole time, head bowed, not uttering a word.
Slowly, Xia Ruqing approached and gently patted the girl's back twice. "You... you're all right, aren't you?"
