Praiseworthy

  Zhou Qin seemed to be shocked as well, looking around in disbelief, only to find that he was the only kid there. It was obvious that the voice calling "little ghost" wasn't referring to anyone else but him!

  "What are you calling me?" He rushed over, his small hands pointing almost to Xiao Congrong's forehead, who was sitting in a wheelchair at the same height as him.

  "Little devil!" She calmly repeated, looking down on Zhou Qin with disdain and adding: "Aren't you?"

  "You...... you......"

  Zhou Qin's face turned bright red with anger, and he slapped a palm towards Xiao Zong, who easily caught his wrist and sneered: "Can't win an argument so you resort to violence? Bullying the weak and using underhanded tactics are things only cowards do. I'm being polite by calling you a little devil, what else can you possibly be dissatisfied with?"

  "You're a wicked woman! You're the one who's despicable!"

  Zhou Qin's hand was caught by her, and the other hand was about to scratch her face. Xiao Zongrong didn't wait for him to scratch over, pulled his wrist and twisted it over.

  Zhou Qin suddenly cried out in pain and shouted loudly. In an instant, several guards rushed out from the crowd on the street and charged towards Xiao Congrong together.

  "Halt!" Xiao Zong Rong coldly shouted, his eyes scanning coldly: "One more step forward and I'll break his arm!"

  Those guards didn't care, and continued to move forward. Xiao Zongrong exerted a bit of force, and Zhou Qin let out another shrill cry, which was more effective than anything else. The guards all stopped in their tracks, looking at each other in dismay, helpless. This was the first time anyone had ever failed to give face to Duke Zhou and Princess Huang!

  "Miss..." Chunxiang was stunned and whispered: "His Royal Highness Kang is young and doesn't understand things, let's not take him seriously!"

  Xiao Zongrong pulled Zhou Qin's hand into her own and sat him on her lap, but her wound had not yet healed, and with the force, she felt her scar open up again, bleeding.

  It doesn't hurt her at all. She smiled faintly as she hugged Zhou Qin: "I was just joking with him! How could I bear to twist the hand of such a cute kid?"

  As she spoke, she gently pinched Zhou Qin's face with her hand and smiled: "Why did you call me a bad woman?"

  One moment she was threatening to twist his arm, the next she had a smile as warm as spring rain. Zhou Qin was bewildered by these two extremes and, still sitting on her leg, didn't know when this woman would change her expression again, so he hesitantly replied.

  "They all say you pushed Third Brother's princess into the water and made her lose her baby, so I think you're a bad woman!"

  "Oh......" Xiao Zongrong smiled: "So you threw eggs at me? Not bad, not bad, praise you, hit quite accurately!"

  She handed him the intact egg in her hand, winking at him mischievously: "Next time you smash someone, can't you use stones instead? Save the eggs for eating, scallion fried eggs are delicious!"

  Zhou Qin was shocked and uncertain, staring at her in a daze. Xiao Zongrong handed him the egg and put him down on the ground: "You can go now!"

  Everyone around is bewildered, she made such a big fuss just to say these few words?

  Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously ran towards his own guard. Just as he reached the side of his guard, he suddenly heard Xiao Congrong exclaim: "Ah, my jade pendant is gone!"
