CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: YUAN BAO: I’M A LITTLE WITCH

Mrs. Xiao Li, who had been watching Yuan Bao from where she stood, saw her precious daughter suddenly burst into tears and immediately rushed over like a roused mother hen.

"Jiaojiao, what’s wrong?"

"What happened? Tell Mom!"

"Good girl, don’t cry, don’t cry!"

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao Li completely forgot that Yuan Bao was never the kind of baby who liked to cry.

"Mom, bad people!"

"They bullied me!"

Yuan Bao raised her hand to point at Sheng Xueyi and Chuntao, speaking angrily.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao Li immediately looked at Sheng Xueyi and said harshly, "Young lady, why are you bullying our child?"

So what if she’s from an official family?

In this moment, Mrs. Xiao Li was truly protective!

"Auntie, you’ve misunderstood!"

Sheng Xueyi quickly explained, "I brought some pastries to share with the little brothers and sisters in the village, but when it came to this little sister, they just happened to run out!"

"I really didn’t bully her!"

Sheng Xueyi felt truly wronged.

Before coming, she had specifically asked Mrs. Tian to make more pastries, but who would have thought that the number was still not enough—just one short.

What frustrated her the most was that the one missing piece was for the same little sister who didn’t get any pastries last time.

The same thing happening twice to the same little sister—Sheng Xueyi really didn’t know what to say. This little sister’s luck was just too bad!

"Last time I didn’t get any!"

"This time, still none for me!"

"You’re just a bad person!"

Yuan Bao didn’t care whether she was being reasonable or not; she just wanted to make a fuss.

Sheng Xueyi felt helpless.

As Mrs. Xiao Li had said, how could someone her age bully a little baby?

Sheng Xueyi remained silent.

Mrs. Xiao Li also felt somewhat awkward.

Knowing what had happened, she couldn’t just unreasonably take her daughter’s side against Sheng Xueyi, because this was just an accident.

Mrs. Xiao Li felt she owed her daughter, but she wasn’t unreasonable.

However, unexpectedly, in her moment of awkward silence, Yuan Shougui suddenly stepped out, speaking righteously, "Fourth Aunt, this isn’t Sheng’s fault!"

"Clearly, it’s the little cousin making a fuss for no reason!"

At this moment, Yuan Shougui felt like a messenger of justice.

"You’re a bad person too!"

"I don’t like you anymore!"

Seeing her big cousin coming out to defend Sheng Xueyi, Yuan Bao immediately threw a tantrum at him.

"Just you wait!"

"I’m going to tell Grandpa and Uncle!"

"You’ll get punished, just wait and see!"

The little girl, at this moment, was behaving very stubbornly and irrationally.

With those words, her short legs began moving!

The well-behaved treasure of the Yuan Family had, in this moment, transformed into a true little troublemaker.

Ordinarily, if Yuan Bao threatened him like this, Yuan Shougui would instantly cave. But now, in front of his beloved Sheng Xueyi, Yuan Shougui felt he had to show more manly courage.

He looked at Yuan Bao proudly and said, "Go ahead and tell, do you think I’m scared?"

"And I don’t like you anymore either!"

Confident that he wasn’t wrong, Yuan Shougui decided he would not bow to evil.

Even if it meant getting a spanking, even if it meant being covered in bruises, he would not give in.

"Jiaojiao!"

Mrs. Xiao Li felt even more awkward.

On one hand, she felt guilty towards her precious daughter; on the other hand, there was the reasonable nephew and the official family’s young lady from the village next door. She was having a hard time choosing!
