“You… you… it’s you?”

Su Xiaoxiao covered her mouth with one hand, pointing at Qin Che with the other, her eyes filled with terror.

Qin Che was utterly bewildered.

Qin Canglan clasped his hands behind his back, his gray brows furrowing. 

“Daya, what’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t immediately respond to him.

Her eyes stayed locked on Qin Che, her plump little body trembling, her gaze growing more and more fearful.

Step by step, she retreated, until her shoulder bumped against the back of Qin Canglan’s hand.

She suddenly turned and flung herself into Qin Canglan’s arms, her voice choking with sobs.

“Grandfather… I’m scared—”

She whimpered softly, even fumbling to pull out her handkerchief.

But after tugging for a while, nothing came out.

Uhm… she had forgotten to bring one.

So she grabbed Qin Canglan’s sleeve instead and began wiping away tears that didn’t exist.

Su Mo looked away, unable to bear the embarrassment. 

Qin Canglan was still floating in the joy of hearing his granddaughter call him ‘Grandfather’, feeling so lightheaded he might float away. 

That was, until Su Xiaoxiao suddenly burst into loud sobs.

Qin Canglan jolted back to himself. 

He immediately began gently patting the little chubby girl in his arms, and said, 

“Grandfather is here, don’t be afraid… tell Grandfather, what happened?”

Su Xiaoxiao hiccupped and sniffled with exaggeration, “I… I d-dare not say…”

Qin Canglan’s face hardened. 

“Tell me. Grandfather will stand up for you!”

With trembling fingers, Su Xiaoxiao pointed in terror at Qin Che. “Him!”

Qin Che froze.

Qin Canglan’s expression darkened, “He bullied you?”

“Mhm!” 

Su Xiaoxiao buried herself against him, crying pitifully. 

“He made people bully my father… trapped him in an alley… smashed our stall… When I went to find Father, he was covered in blood… wuwuwu—”

Qin Canglan’s breath caught. 

“When was this?”

Su Xiao Xiao sobbed, “It was… it was the day Grandfather came to deliver feed for the pony…”

That day, Qin Canglan had indeed not seen Su Cheng. 

He had felt regretful at the time, but it wasn’t convenient to linger at someone else’s home, so he had left early.

As for an alley brawl, Qin Che remembered.

Su Cheng had been cornered by a few of the Protector Duke’s servants, and he had come out bloody… but the ones beaten were the servants, not Su Cheng! 

Not a hair on Su Cheng’s head had been touched, and instead, the servants were thrashed until their teeth scattered, their money pouches emptied by him!

Qin Che clenched his fists, stepped forward, and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao’s nose. 

“You slanderer! That day it was clearly you—”

Su Xiaoxiao’s voice cracked into wailing cries. 

“Waaah— Grandfather… he’s being hostile to me…”

Qin Che ground his teeth, “Shut your mouth!”

Qin Canglan’s icy gaze lashed at him, “You shut your mouth!”

Su Xiao Xiao shrank against Qin Canglan’s chest, continuing her accusations through sobs: 

“That day he was also hostile towards my father… he ordered people to beat my father to death… He even said that not having his son kill me and Ergou in Qingzhou was his mistake…”

Murderous intent filled Qin Canglan’s eyes. 

“What? You were bullied in Qingzhou?”

“I only just found out… that Qin Yun is his son…”

Su Xiaoxiao ‘returned the favor’: You said you just learned of Su Cheng’s existence? Fine, then I also just found out about you.

She went on bawling, her chubby lungs working overtime: 

“His son pinned Ergou to the ground and whipped him hard… even Young Marquis Jing saw it… At that time Ergou and I didn’t know our true background… we just couldn’t understand why they were targeting Ergou… We hadn’t offended them at all…”

“Such a thing happened?” 

Qin Canglan’s expression hardened. 

He turned to Su Mo, “Did you know of this?”

Su Mo thought to himself: from what I knew… Qin Yun was the one who got whipped into a pig’s head by Ergou.

Ashamed, he said aloud, “When the Su family returned home to honor the ancestors, we asked Biaomei* and Ergou to help with pastries. At the time we hadn’t recognized them, didn’t know their identities, and so we failed to protect them. Granduncle, I apologize.” 

*Biaomei (表妹) : Younger female cousin via female line (mother’s side). 

He didn’t lie… but he hadn’t told the whole truth either.

Qin Canglan’s fury erupted as he glared at Qin Che.
