Xiulan looked at Madame Wu and smiled inwardly as she thought that she will act like that and fell on the ground holding her arm as Madame Wu thought that she scared the girl and went for the kill.
Madame Wu tried to smack her two kg hand down on Xiulan's face and touched it when her hand was repulsed by spiritual qi and she fell away from her while Grandfather An smiled noticing the aura around the girl and went in to save her.
"My granddaughter! My granddaughter! So weak but I getting slapped by her aunt, wuwuwu, this old retired official can't even do anything against this! Wuwuwu... my son would be so disappointed with me..." Grandfather An went to grab his granddaughter as he noticed his closeness didn't caused her spiritual qi to repulse and was surprised over her control.
Xiulan looked at the old man who kept crying and she also lowered her head as she heard people around sneering and glowering at Madame Wu, some gossiping and making it look even big to the ones who came little later.
"Such people! They shouldn't even exist. This man was Old man An's brother's son but old man An cared about him like his own but this guy didn't even return the favour!" An old man shouted as the youngsters got agitated at the treatment of their favourite grandpa An who always spoke in the council for them.
When they wanted to take the imperial test, old man An took a test of each individual and prepared them as well.
Now watching their head strong teacher this way, made all the youths feel blood boiling in their heart and all of them ran to beat the pair of bastards who doesn't even care about their own father.
The females started beating Madame Wu while the males did a number on An jiaxu.
"Stop it! Leave us!"
"Ouch! Aye!"
And then only sound of slaps and smacks were heard while the pair of grandfather and granddaughter held each other and lowered their head with smiles on their faces.
Old man An didn't even tried to stop others from beating this nephew of his.
"Grandfather, you sure are smart." Xiulan whispered as she kept her head low.
"You definitely are my granddaughter." Grandfather An whispered back.
Xiulan looked at everything as other people came and helped them up while the maids in question just fainted on the street.
Xiulan looked at them as her eyes flashed and the faint bodies woke up in an instance and noticed how the surrounding people glared at them.
They looked at Prime minister An and realised that they are exposed.
They tried getting on their knees to ask forgiveness but little Che brought a paper and grandfather An took them and said "Give these back to their old Master. They don't need our sympathy!"
Their eyes widened as they heard that. Their old master wasn't like these masters. He was cruel and beastly and now they have done something that made Prime Minister An want to send them back.
They should suffer death soon because of their own fault.
They nodded their head without saying anything as now nothing could save them.
