Chapter 150: 109 Little Grandson (two updatesbined into one)_3


    “What happened?” he asked.


    Xue Ningxiang was already sobbing uncontrobly.


    The schr said, “This little woman is falsely using me!”


    Principal Li asked, “What exactly did she use you of?”


    The schr irritably replied, “She said that I stole her silver!”


    Principal Li then asked, “Did you steal it?”


    The schr was furious, “What kind of question is that? Of course, I didn’t steal! I told you she falsely used me, didn’t you hear me?”


    A woman spectating the situation chimed in, “Indeed, these two are students traveling to the Provincial City for the examination. What rotten luck, to be used by this woman.”


    Principal Li scrutinized the pair closely, “Which private academy do you belong to?”


    The schr posed proudly, “We are from Tianxiang Academy!”


    Principal Li’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Is that so? What are your names? Which ss are you from?”


    “What’s it to you?” The schr retorted impatiently.


    Principal Li smiled lightly, “I am the principal of Tianxiang Academy, and I don’t recall our academy ever enrolling students named like you.”


    The color drained from the schrs’ faces instantly.


    The bystanders were shocked.


    Principal Li calmly directed a young man standing beside him, “Young man, could you please report this to the officials? Tell them there are impostors posing as Tianxiang Academy students, causing ruckus and bullying women.”


    The pair who were shouting fiercely failed to call for officials. However, he called for them as soon as he arrived; the real from the fake will be discerned soon!


    The young man was brimming with excitement, “Principal Li spoke to me! Principal Li spoke to me!”


    “I entrusted this to you, young man,” Principal Li said cordially.


    The young man solemnly acknowledged and dashed towards the county office.


    This was like washing the Dragon King Temple in flood, the schr and his friend realised the situation was bad and started to run.


    Principal Li calmly said, “Could two of you gentlemen stop them, please?”


    There was nomanding tone in his words, yet they were inexplicably convincing.


    Two strong bystanders immediately captured the pair.


    “My…my silver…” Xue Ningxiang sobbed.


    Principal Li gave a slight nod, walked up to them, and retrieved Xue Ningxiang’s silver.


    Upon seeing her recovered silver, Xue Ningxiang was overwhelmed with shock and gratitude, leading to hups, “Tha…hic! Thank…hic!”


    “Daddy!” Little Dog spotted Principal Li.


    Xue Ningxiang was so surprised she stopped huping.


    Here, the child was, falsely recognizing his father again!


    Principal Li, a mature man with extensive experience, was not upset over such a minor incident. An experienced teacher from the academy had told him that it wasmon for young children learning to speak to call any woman “mommy” and any man “daddy”.


    “Daddy.” Little Dog wanted to be held.


    Xue Ningxiang desperately wanted a hole to bury herself in from embarrassment.


    “You are injured.” Principal Li noticed a cut of an inch on her wrist, where blood was gushing out.


    Earlier, she was only concerned about getting back her silver and didn’t notice that she had grazed her wrist on the schr’s ornament.


    Principal Li courteously said, “Let me look after the child, there’s a medical hall nearby, I will take you there to bandage your wound.”


    Xue Ningxiang quickly covered her wrist with her sleeve, “No… no need, it’s just a minor injury.”


    Principal Li insisted earnestly, “You must get it treated. Given the hot weather, it’s easy for wounds to get infected.”


    Xue Ningxiang thought for a moment, “I will go by myself.”


    “I was heading towards the medical hall anyways. I can apany you,” said Principal Li as he carried Little Dog who couldn’t stop reaching out to him.


    Now that Little Dog had a daddy, he didn’t need his mommy anymore. His chubby little hands wrapped around Principal Li’s neck, nuzzlingfortably into his embrace.


    Xue Ningxiang was embarrassed to the core.


    They left for the medical hall, one after another.


    Principal Li had to visit the medical hall to see his elderly mother. His servant found her passed out while eating mulberries in the courtyard. The situation was critical due to her advanced age. Rather than waiting for a doctor toe to their house, Principal Li rushed her to the medical hall.


    After examining her, the doctor said, “Don’t worry, she has just fallen asleep.”


    Principal Li was speechless…


    He feared his mother might wake up hungry, so he quickly bought her favorite Osmanthus Cakes from a nearby pastry shop.


    After entering the medical hall, Principal Li found a doctor to treat Xue Ningxiang’s injury while Little Dog was settled on a chair.


    Principal Li handed Little Dog a piece of Osmanthus Cake.


    Little Dog started munching on the cake happily.


    Midway through his munching, he looked up and realized his daddy was nowhere to be seen.


    Little Dog climbed down from the chair and toddled in search for his daddy, and ended up entering a private room.
