Chapter 57 Visit
"Where did this brat come from? Get out of the way, or I'll arrest you too!" the man said coldly.

Grandma Wang, however, remained completely calm, standing there like an old pine tree.

She pulled Xiao Ayu over and looked at the people in front of her expressionlessly: "Is this how you enforce the law, the magistrate's will, or your own?"

The man roared angrily, "You wicked woman, how dare you question me? You're about to die, do you know that? What are you all standing there for? Arrest them!"

The boy who was pulled up looked at the scene before him expressionlessly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Those around him tried to brush the dust off him, but he avoided them.

Little Ayu broke free from Old Lady Wang's hand and ran to the young boy.

She was so small that she only reached the boy's shoulder.

The man who was trying to arrest Old Lady Wang saw Little Ayu rush towards the young master.

They wondered what instructions the young master would give.

So he gestured for those people to hold their positions.

Little Ayu tilted her head back, her brows furrowed, and said anxiously, "Big brother, did you hurt yourself? Ayu will blow on it for you, and it will feel better. Tell them not to grab Grandma, Grandma is a good person!"

Seeing that the boy didn't speak, Xiao Ayu became even more anxious, fearing that those people would be too harsh on her grandmother.

Her eyes fell on the broken jade pendant on the ground, and she remembered the jade pendant that her grandmother had taken. So she ran back and asked Grandma Wang to give her the jade pendant.

Old Mrs. Wang roughly understood what she wanted to do, so she let her do as she pleased and took out the rough jade pendant.

That jade pendant was left by Zhang Zhan for Xiao Ayu. Remembering Xiao Ayu's life-saving grace, he said that he could use the jade pendant to help Zhang Zhan once.

Grandma Wang helped keep it; she brought it along specifically for this occasion.

After Xiao Ayu got the jade pendant, she ran to the boy, grabbed his hand, pried open his fingers, and gently placed the jade pendant on it.

"Don't be angry, little brother. Here, take this as compensation. Please don't grab my grandma anymore, okay?"

She then handed over her small flower basket, allowing the young boy to keep his other hand busy as well.

The young boy lowered his head and looked at his hands.

My hand was touched by a girl I didn't know.

I feel uncomfortable and want to take a shower.

And this jade pendant is so ugly.

Her gaze shifted slightly upwards, and she unexpectedly encountered a pair of beautiful eyes. There was a subtle hint of gold in the center of her eyes, which added to her liveliness.

The young boy's breath hitched slightly.

So... so cute.

His fingers twitched slightly, and he blinked, concealing all his emotions.

He still seems unapproachable.

"Big brother, if you're angry, just hit Ayu. Ayu isn't afraid of pain." Little Ayu became even more anxious when she saw that the other person didn't say anything.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, her mouth clenched shut, and her neck slightly hunched over.

Her two little hands hung down at her sides, clenched into tiny fists.

Make a "go ahead and hit me" look on your face.

The boy raised his right hand, and Xiao Ayu seemed to sense it, her shoulders trembling.

Waaah, Ayu isn't afraid of pain, she's not afraid of pain.

However, the little boy threw the flower basket on the ground.

He threw the jade pendant into the flower basket and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the man who had tried to grab Old Lady Wang knew that the young master didn't want to pursue the matter any further, and glared fiercely at Old Lady Wang: "Consider yourself lucky!"

He was also a little puzzled, because the young master would never have cared about these things in the past.

No, he would sometimes go even further, making them beat each other until they were crying for their parents.

This time, however, they let it go easily.

This is indeed somewhat abnormal.

Xiao Ayu kept her eyes closed for a long time, but before the other party could make a move, she tilted her head and quietly opened one eye, thinking she was being discreet.

Huh, where did everyone go?

Seeing little Ayu like this, Grandma Wang felt both warm and amused. She had originally wanted to see what little Ayu could do; if the young master insisted on playing the villain, she would naturally rush over.

Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem like a particularly evil person.

"Grandma, sob sob..."

Little Ayu then felt scared. She rushed into Old Mrs. Wang's arms, sobbed twice, but didn't cry. Her eyes were just slightly red.

She was really afraid that the boy would hit her.

She is actually afraid of pain.

"Alright, it's alright now. It's all Grandma's fault." Grandma Wang had something on her mind earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have been caught by the other party.

Little Ayu shook her head, disagreeing with Grandma Wang's statement: "Grandma is very good!"

Grandma Wang bent down to pick up the small flower basket from the ground, taking the jade pendant inside with her.

Then I saw a jade pendant not far away, broken in two, with no one picking it up.

She picked it up casually, and her gaze suddenly paused after a casual glance.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, about to say something.

Then Zhang Zhan's voice came: "Where did that brat run off to again? I only said one thing, and he's already throwing a tantrum! He's driving me crazy! Where is he?! Where is he!!!"

He strode out and suddenly saw Old Mrs. Wang to the side, and asked in surprise, "Aunt Wang, Ayu, what brings you here?"

Grandma Wang smiled slightly: "We came here specifically to visit Lord Zhang."

As she spoke, she handed over the small flower basket in her hand.

Zhang Zhan looked at the small flower basket with a somewhat complicated expression. Was this a bribe of wildflowers?

But then, little Ayu picked out a pink peach blossom from the flower basket: "Uncle, this one is pretty, choose this one!"

Zhang Zhan took the basket blankly, but Xiao Ayu took it back and didn't give it to him again.

Zhang Zhan: ? ? ?
So, does that mean he should choose one?
"Everyone picked these on the way here. Ayu brought you one too, saying you'd like it," Grandma Wang casually explained, then handed the jade pendant to Zhang Zhan. "This old woman came today because I have a favor to ask."

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Zhang Zhan suddenly remembered that he still owed someone a favor.

Is he here to fulfill his promise?

It was faster than he had imagined.

"Come with me." He took the jade pendant and led the two into the county government office, where tea and refreshments were served.

"Speak, what do you want me to do?" Zhang Zhan said. "I've already said beforehand, if it violates the law, don't blame me for not agreeing."

Old Mrs. Wang did indeed ponder for a moment, wondering if what she was asking for was against the rules.

But she still said, "It's about Ayu. Didn't Lord Zhang say before..."

Halfway through her speech, Grandma Wang stopped, looking at little Ayu in her arms, who was listening intently with wide eyes, and fell silent.

After Ayu recovered from her fever, she gradually accepted that she was a member of the Wang family and seemed to have forgotten the past.

Grandma Wang didn't want to bring these things up in front of her, lest the child have unfounded thoughts about this day in the future.

Zhang Zhan also felt that this topic was not suitable for children. Just as he was about to ask someone to take Xiao Ayu out to play, he saw that the little rascal had returned.

"Xiao Huai! Come on, take this little girl to play!" Zhang Zhanchao waved to the boy who walked in through the door.

The young boy didn't even glance at anyone else, heading straight for the back office, showing no intention of giving them the slightest bit of face.

"Qin Huai!" Zhang Zhan gritted his teeth and forced a somewhat kind smile. "Come here."

When his name was called, Qin Huai only paused slightly, without turning around at all.

"Go play with that boy, he's all alone and has no playmates!" Zhang Zhan was annoyed inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He turned around and coaxed Xiao Ayu.

Old Mrs. Wang asked, "Sir, who is that young master?"

Zhang Zhan said to Grandma Wang, "Oh, that's a distant cousin of mine. He has a very gentle temperament. Ayu and he should get along well."

Little Ayu looked up and saw Old Mrs. Wang nodding at her, so she picked up her little flower basket and ran after Qin Huai.

"Hey little brother, wait for Ayu! Ayu will play with you!"

Little Ayu runs incredibly fast with her short legs.
